I.KRSUXD The Boarding Club TfTliW memories of college life are more pleasant to Attgsburgcrs than those of the Boarding Club. The bell that tolls so mournfully for classes rings merrily for meals. As the joyful peals ring out over the campus there is a general exodus from all rooms. Occupations of the gravest importance imme- diately cease. Philosophers and mathematicians, scientists and musicians alike drop their work and join the mad stampede toward the dining hall. Once inside, however, all is orderly. The rules of etiquette are not forgotten, tho at odd moments one may deign to disregard those of minor importance—especially if there are no ladies at the table. The members of the Club are seated entirely impartially and the seating arrangement is changed semi-monthly. It is generally so arranged that at each table of eight may be seated at least two of our precious “Coeds”. Not infrequently are harmless pranks and escapades indulged in to the amusement of the Club. Many pleasant diversions arc offered when some of the “Coeds”, or perhaps the theologians, enter the dining hall dressed in unique or novel garb. In looking back over the record of the Boarding Club we find that it has always been fundamentally the same. The dining hall has been—and is—not only a place to get your meals, but also a place to enjoy them together with the companionship of your fellow-students. The spirit of the Club has always been one of hearty cooperation and good fellowship. So we wonder not that every alumnus and every under-graduate of our school has a tender spot in his heart for the Augsburg Boarding Club. PAOB TWHNTY-KIVE

The 1924 Augsburgian S in many ollior tasks which one begins and works with for some time, it is with some fooling of relief that wo are nearing the completion of our work with The U)2 . Ini shnn ian. We have tried to arrange a I wok which would be a credit to the school it represents, one which would include ideas and pictures that could he enjoyed not only by the students who have been at Augsburg during the past two years, but also by the men and women who during the past fifty-live years have at- tended school here or have in some way been connected with Augsburg. In the present increase in attendance at various educational institutions Augsburg has not been left out. We are growing rapidly. The question in re- gard to location and room will soon not he how much longer we have to slay here, but how much longer we can sla here. We have talked about a greater Augsburg. Now that we are increasing in numbers and have developed more comprehensive curricula will we he willing to assume the responsibilities which come with the greater Augsburg? Some of Augsburg’s friends have already provided suitable grounds for the New Augsburg. A place to build, however, is not enough. We must also have the means whereby buildings may he constructed. We believe that our people will continue to support our school. In so doing they will rise to new victories when they'see new fields to conquer. It is the wish of the editorial staff of The 102 . I n sl nr itiii that this bien- nial may he an instrument in helping people to realize that our school is doing a great work, an important work: that the things which are valued here are those which help young men and women to lake their places in the world as conten- ders for Christian principles in theory and practice, and for personal life in Christ. —Tiik Editor.
