!Dedication This Augsburgian is respect- fully dedicated to the congre- gations of The Lutheran Free Church, in recognition of their prayers and fidelity to the cause of Christian education. Foreword “For thro' the Magic Of Him the Mighty, Who taught me in childhood, There on the border Of boundless Ocean, And all but in Heaven Hovers the Gleam. Not of the sunlight, Not of the moonlight, Not of the starlight! O young Mariner, Down to the haven, Call your companions. Launch your vessel And crowd your canvas, And, ere it vanishes Over the margin, After it, follow it, Follow the Gleam.

God raised the huge mountains, and covered their tops with snow that the springs at their feet might water the mighty trees, in the branches of which the little bird would warble her notes of praise. There is a song with a refrain, Child, I loved thee long ago.” An old lady, sick and helpless for years, thought about her happier days. Her yearnings centered themselves about the glad Christmas times, especially those of her own childhood and the child days of her children. Many a Christmas now had gone by with no little Christmas tree. God had foreseen her lonesomeness years ago and had made His plans. Long ago and far away, deep in a forest a tall evergreen grew. It lamented its useless existence in the woods wncrc thousands of trees stood. But it lived on and a seed fell into the ground. The seed sprouted and grew into a strong little tree under the shelter of its protecting neighbor. A woodsman came. Drawn to the little tree bv its perfect shape and its fresh greenness he cut it down and sent it to the large city at Christmas time. In the hearts of a group of students God nursed the Christmas spirit. Before the holidays a banquet was prepared for the students with Christmas cheer of every kind. The little tree had its place and sang its quiet song of praise surrounded by young, strong, smiling faces. The banquet was over and one thought of God had been fulfilled. The little tree, cheered by its service in the way of God, took renewed grip on its strength and stood forth a thing too good to be thrown aside. It was sent to a neigh- bor's home on its errand of good will. The neighbor had a large tree. The little tree was not needed. But the thoughts of God were still with it and the tree made its urgent appeal. It had something to do vet. The Christmas spirit worked upon the hearts of the little tree's owners. The- side old lady there was the place. Again the tree was decked out and its festive dress was draped over it. In jxracc- ful train it went the tray with its Christmas meal, dainty and neat, followed by the happy little tree. The sparkle of the eye and the leap of the heart, Oh, how good you arc. The tears of joy carried the wordless cry of gratitude out beyond the weary sick- room to the mighty heart of God. The cycle was complete. From out of the calm depths of eternity the old lady’s questioning heart received its answer: “Child, I loved thee long ago. The thoughts of God are |x:rfect, making glad the heart. The thoughts of God arc manifold, but they arc always harmonious and at every step they prove themselves always good. Not always,” you sav. No, not always do we see them as good. They arc often at deaths grip with evil. Evil is an uglv thing, and when God is lighting evil before our eyes, we sec evil as it is, ugly. But the victory belongs to God, and in His peace His thoughts again stand revealed before us as perfect. The thoughts of God arc tender, bringing calm to the troubled heart.

There arc those who build their philosophies of life with the things seen by the eyes, heard with the cars, and touched by the hands as the centers of thinking. They let the material environment determine the manner of living, and work with a missionary fervor for a realization of the Utopian hope of material prosperity for all men. There arc others who believe that “life is more than food, and the body than the raiment, and that the things not seen by the eyes, nor heard by the ears, nor touched by the hands arc the fundamentals. They look forward to a consummation of the present order of things, when spiritual knowledge will be the possession of all men in the Kingdom of God. We who arc theological students would like to classify ourselves with the latter group. We believe that the things which arc seen, though they too arc God's gifts and of vital importance to us, arc only temporal, and that there are inner realities which arc unseen but eternal. We accept as fundamental those words of Jesus, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and having yielded to their truth would let them mould our lives. We would also seek our work in a place where our efforts might count the most in making this truth a vital part of the lives of other men. For that purpose we arc here at school. We study things both seen and unseen, but pray for the spirit of discernment to evaluate correctly the issues involved. We would vow a thousand truths in order to better understand the One truth. We would be taught in all the verities of the faith, so that through us, by example and by precept, God's message may become a saver of life unto many souls. € $ C. Olson C. Quanbkck Nyhus Knutson Vik Husblohn Gunosrsbn Dr. Jowett, prominent English and American clergyman, once affirmed, “Preaching is not a profession; it is a passion. So it is, and ever must be; but, lest a passion burn out, and lest zeal be ill-advised it behooves every prospective preacher, whether he receive a scholastic degree or not, to be a Master of the word and an expert in his field. With that immediate aim of proficiency in view the Junior Class in Theology has embarked upon a three-year course of intensive study with this as its motto: “Give diligence to present thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, handling aright the Word of truth. God has here given us what we regard as our professional ideals. In the first place, we are safeguarded against the natural danger of becoming reckless dictators or inflated egotists by giving diligence to show ourselves “approved unto God. The earnest seeking of God’s favor will keep the proudest heart humble. The charge has often been made that among professional tnen, the pastors have shown the least professional knowledge. We don’t presume to be able to speak authoritatively as to the verity of that charge, but as members of the Junior class we do each aim to be “a workman that needeth not be ashamed. Finally, as Masters of the Word we hope rather to be mastered by it, thus “handling aright the Word of truth. West Side of Campus I College, 1925 % Margaret H. Gjesdahl Minneapolis, Minn.

Knutson The Junior Class The Junior Class considers itself very fortunate and is indeed proud of the fact that it belongs to that loyal group which we call Augsburg Brotherhood. The ideals, the noble purposes, and the aspirations which that group has determined to foster arc adopted by the Juniors individually, and in this we are grateful that it has fallen upon us also to enhance the characteristics of a true Augsburg spirit for the liencfit of both ourselves and the ones we are to serve. The continuation and preservation of the better traits in man arc constantly in danger of being checked by forces that often-times arc uncontrollable, but the members of the Junior Class arc preparing themselves for the task which will con- front them, and every one, individually, realizes the importance of being well pre- pared in order to be able to solve the world problems tnat arc becoming more and more complex as civilization advances. The education that Augsburg aims to present, in basing its teachings upon the rock foundation of truth, has become a significant factor in guiding the ideals of the members of the Junior Class. Augsburg stresses the importance of truth in relation to learning, and even if these elements in education sometimes may cause a question in our minds as to the benefit of such a combination, Augsburg again shows us the intimate relation of these elements, both to education and everyday life. Then there can be no doubt as to the practicability of such a beneficial kinship. Looking into the future we all feel confident of attaining that happiness that life has in store for us, for considering the days spent at Augsburg we have found that happiness is the ultimate result of a diligent search for truth and knowledge. 3fz = usm mn : ««-iwMnww fr Top Row+-Mathison, L.

The student then is the thinking power of man. great men of knowledge think, so will the greater number of people who read r word believe. In order to make this world a better world for us and for those are to follow we must develop men and women who are not only great schola, learners but also devout Christians. There can be no greater influence among men than a man who is able to com education and religion. Christ Himself was a great teacher and His life wa means of our salvation. Here at Augsburg, the sophomores have a chance to become more deveh both spiritually and mentally. According to experience based on history, there be few out of our class of fifty who will attain the highest heighth of educati circles, that of being an excellent scholar. Yet no matter what one’s life v shall be, there is always an opportunity to be of an influence for all that is g« Milton, one of the greatest geniuses this world has ever produced, serve good and noble purpose in spite of his blindness. Abraham Lincoln, a man ' rose from the common class of people, brought out the great cause which was the betterment of the people. These men and many others accomplished a wondc purpose because they combined religion with their natural capacities of doing g things. Milton in His Sonnet on His Blindness says, They also serve who only st and wait. God does not need the work of our hrnds and minds to bring about purpose on this earth. The people that have implicit faith and trust in Him who arc waiting for the fulfillment of God's work also serve Him. Then let the class, of 1928, be humble and submissive before the Almighty, still ach ing, still pursuing all that is good and upright. Of zqp KISTIAN- Lowbr, P.LSBT «ANJO CS r s Top Row- C.

This group represents a dozen different states. It is drawn from the largest and busiest city in the world, from the shores washed by the quiet Pacific, from the land of the sunny South”, from the rocky border of mid-western Canada, and from the vast intervening space. Truly, East has shaken hands with West and South has met North in the Freshman ('.lass. This class, with the differences which environment has played, is a group of young men and women who came to Augsburg with a determined purpose. They have realized that life is not a farce; they know that life is a real and a serious proposition. With that attitude of heart and mind they have entered into their work; they have taken hold with a determination to avail themselves of the opportunity of acquiring an education. It was not merely incidental that they chose for their motto the ensign of Livingstone, Anywhere, provided it be forward. They chose that motto because those words expressed their ideal of resolute determination as typified in the life and deeds of that renowned African missionary. Together with determination thisclasspossessesabilityandcapability. Amongthe Freshmen can be found innate talents along the various lines of science, literature, and the arts. They have displayed their accomplished capabilities in music, oratory, athletics through their participation in the various organizations and activities of Augsburg. 3P J� College, 1926 Oscar Nybrothn Argyle, Wis.

We arc the smallest class, but still we have our representatives in places of importance, and endeavor to maintain our place in the general school life. We arc represented in the school band by one, on the Student Council by one, in the college latin class by two, in the musical circle by four, on our academy basket-ball team by one, on our academy cabinet by five, on the academy debate team by one, and on the dining hall force by two. We are also represented in all school activities, as in supporting our conference basket-ball team by our presence and our yelling, in helping with social entertainments, and in new prospects and plans for the betterment of the school. Many of us do not have, as yet, a definite goal for which we arc working, but we arc sure that from this Junior Class of 1926, there will he men who will distin- guish themselves as helpers in both spiritual and temporal life. Some of us may be farmers, some merchants, some teachers, some preachers, some lawyers, and some doctors. Whatever we do or wherever we are, we shall be of benefit to people be- cause we have received our education, at least in part, from a Christian school like Augsburg. Some are already preparing for their college career at this school, and some even thinking of the time when they will spend three years in the theological department. It is, then, with pride that we continue our daily grind of studying science, history, languages, and religion, for we know that under the Christian instructors and the Christian attitude the school takes towards us, we shall be able to help the world in her many and serious tasks. Niei.sen Mona Bai.b Goi.oal Evenson Lolano Tanovai-o L. Lilluhki Mor Hai.vorson R. Lii.lii ei Second Academy There have been many larger classes in the second academy. However, that does not say that quality is not to be found in our group. Wc arc represented by sons of nearly every walk of life. Wc have farmer’s sons, minister's sons, and also sons of teachers. Wc have not come from all parts of the globe as students in other classes, but wc do admit that wc come from the grandest part of the world, namely, the great Northwest. In the short time that our class has been at this institution the members seem to have grasped the spirit of Augsburg. There is that brotherly union that binds the class to the rest of the student body. The feeling of fellowship fills the heart and soul of each and every one, because he has learned the truth in the ideals of our school. All the boys in this class have a purpose in life. Wc have a high ideal toward which wc are striving. Each year wc have raised that ideal a little higher, and each time wc have resolved that it must be attained. Thus, as wc advance and progress wc hope to sec larger and clearer visions of our ideal. Wc must go forward! Wc must progress! Wc arc running the race of life. Wc arc attempting to reach the final goal vic- torious. Each class is a milestone in this great race. It is our hope that wc too, may say as Paul did when he reached that final goal, 'T have fought the good fight. I have finished the course. I have kept the faith.” Lanbs Hovde S. Hanson . L. Haobn Arntzbn Euason Andkrson Klanolan Fossan Hbli.and The First Academy All the members of the first academy class arc from the Northwest, undoubtedly one of the best parts of the world. This class is unique because it is the smallest class of its kind that Augsburg has had for many years. However, we can console our- selves with the fact that quality and quantity are not inseparable. There is also hope for us to reach the heights as some of us aspire to become college seniors some day. Our purpose in coming to Augsburg was to obtain an education which will help us to do better work in whatever trade or profession we may enter. Four or eight years may seem a long time to prepare ourselves, but if we use the time well I am sure that we shall feel later that the time was well spent. We are therefore thankful to our parents, who through their self-sacrifice make it possible for us to attend Augsburg. Although we have been at school only a short time we feel that we arc at home here and therefore a part of this institution. Here we may develop not only intellect, ually, but also spiritually and morally. Each one of us has an ideal towards which he is working. Since we came to Augsburg our ideals have been raised and our vision has been broadened. We know that if we are true to the ideals of Augsburg our lives shall not have been lived in vain. Let us therefore strive towards the goal and with God's help we shall reach it. ORGANIZATIONS Hallino J. Hbi.land Haahbim Trygstad Morgan M. Olson Beju.iu Myhk« The Students’ Society Life is a continual working with or in opposition to combined forces. The indi- vidual who fails to use these forces for furthering that which is good, or combating that which is evil reduces his influence materially. Since school is a preparation for a fuller life, it is fitting and fortunate that the student even there gains some experi- ence with that which he will meet and use when the time comes for him to render his measure of service in real life. The purpose of The Students’ Society is to meet in a general way this need for combined effort among the students by giving expression to their common interests and by performing those tasks which their united forces can accomplish more effect- ively than individual and unorganized effort. As a result of the increase in the student bodv during the last few years, general and special interests and activities have increased both in number and in the degree to which they attract the student’s attention. In order to harmonize these varied activities and give each as far as possible the benefit of the common interest and support of the student body, The Students’ Society this year reorganized and adopted a cabinet form of administration, which has proved to be a decided advance in caring for all the student affairs. It has helped to co-ordinate our many activities, and has shown the possibility of a number of interests existing and functioning side by side in a group when due consideration is given to each. The experience of working in harmony with others and properly evaluating our various interests is one of the important benefits we derive from membership in this body, and one which will be of increasing value to us in the proportion to which we apply it. Joxbnuy A. Olsen H. Hanson Sathbk C. Knootson J. Hbllanu Jacobsen The Students' Council The Students’ Council, as the name implies, is the judicial organization of the student body. It has for its purpose to promote a better understanding among the students, and to work toward the ideal of student self-government. It is com- posed of seven members chosen by the student body. The election is so arranged that the college shall have four representatives, the academy two, and the theological department one. The term of office is one school year, although the student body may by a two-thirds majority vote call for a re-election at the end of each quarter. This council has as its duty the trial of students for the following offenses: 1. Removing books from the library without the Librarian's knowledge. 2. Stealing. 3. Violations of the honor system in examinations. Evidence may be received from the Faculty and students, and witnesses may be called in to aid the council in arriving at a just decision in any problem that may arise. All decisions of the Students’ Council must be presented to the Faculty. In this way all the students on trial are judged by their fellow-students. This method of procedure should result in quickened interest and an individual realization of responsibility among the students, which should be an important step toward our ideal of self-government. Elias Hallino Ruth Hanson Guypred Timoob JWedical Aid Society It has been one of the aims of Augsburg to assist in as many ways as it is possible young men and women that are desirous of attaining a higher education. It was with this aim in view, that is of aiding financially those students who need medical attention, that the Medical Aid Society was organized. It was founded in 1879 and is one of the oldest organizations on the campus. With a deposit of three dollars each student is entitled to benefits amounting to fifteen dollars, payable by the Society. In cases where the medical care exceeds the allotted fifteen dollars the stu- dents receive the benefit of a fifty per cent discount, which is offered through the Society. This year a change has been made in the constitution. It has hitherto been the custom for the student body to elect a representative from each class to act as members of the executive committee. This method of procedure was found to be cumbersome, so it was deemed advisable to limit the committee to four members. This staff now consists of the President of the school as chairman, a secretary and treasurer elected from the student body, and a member from the Board of Directors of the Student Society. A slight change has also been made in the method of col- lecting fees. According to previous practice this was the duty of the society's treas- urer; it is now under the jurisdiction of the school's treasurer. All students residing on the campus are members of the organization. The Medical Aid Society has been given loyal support and is looked upon as a necessary and valuable organization. I E. Knutson Bromstad C. Haaheim R. Myhre H)ELM1!LAND SwENSON C. JbrSTAD w. s. g. jl. The importance of college training for women has been admitted and realized by our people. Several years ago, our church body approved the opening of the doors of Augsburg to women. Since that time our school has continued to prosper and grow. Our people have come to realize that they took a long step forward when they made Augsburg a coeducational college. The woman of culture is better fitted for any place in life, whether it be in the home, in the school room, or in any other of the manifold places open to women. If a girl feels that it is her purpose to teach, to study medicine, or to do any other noble work, she must be trained. The teachers of the new generation are college-trained women. For college training broadens their view of life and greatly adds to the sum of their pleasures. It also increases their intellectual resources and gives them that indefinable thing known as culture. These arc the things which Augsburg docs for her girls. But she docs even more. She organizes them into a self-governing group. Here they meet other girls from all parts of the country and mingle with them in chapel, at the table, on the campus, in classes, and in sports. From their associates they learn how to live, how to be kind, self-sacrificing, and lovable. All these are wonderful traits in the character of a woman. And character development is most important of all, and this is brought about by the Christian companionship, prayer and Biblc-study, the atmosphere of Chris- tian fellowship and Christian faith which is wrought through the membership of the Women’s Self-Government Association of Augsburg, which has for its motto: '' I would be true, for there are those who trust me, I would be pure, for there are those who care, I would be strong, for there is much to suffer, I would be brave, for there is much to dare, I would be friend to all, the foe, the friendless, I would be humble fori know my weakness, I would look up and laugh, and love, and lift. tf Mymrb M. Olson G. Knudson Johanson E. Haaiieim C. Olson J. Johnson cAletheia Club Surely, no one attends college without enjoying the benefits of discussion. It is the student’s prerogative and privilege. It affords him some of his keenest pleasure and best preparation for life. As a keen wit once remarked, If I exchange a dollar with my neighbor, we each have one; but if I exchange an idea with my neighbor we each have two. It was to profit by this law, that the Aletheia Club was organized. Let also a portion of the constitution state its purpose: Recognizing that all truth centers about Him who said, I am the Truth, ' we as a society propose to dis- cuss the various problems of life in their relation to His teachings to the end that, knowing the truth, the truth may make us free. Regularly, the whole year, the Club meets each fortnight for a two-hour ses- sion. A short thesis is presented by each member and discussed in the order the Club decides. The subjects may range all the way from the ridiculous to the sublime, but the great preponderance of them arc germane to the soul, social, or mental life of the student. Not a dull evening has been known. Almost any subject in the uni- verse has been sufficient to draw from the Alcthcians a veritable volley of fact, fiction, comment. Truly, a student’s erudition is amazing when he is given a chance to meet and discuss with his peers. But, all jesting aside, the Aletheia has supplied a real need in our student life. It does not propose to arrange for public meetings or entertainments. On the con- trary, each meeting of the group is an end to itself, a purpose per sc. There is not a member but loves it and will gratefully remember it in later years for its inspiration, fellowship, and good will. Like Tennyson and his good friend Arthur Hallam: We glanced from theme to theme, Discussed the books to love or hate, Or touched the changes of the state. Or threaded some Socratic dream. igi _ rmtstm. $ C. Olson L. Olson R. Falk C. Quanbbck Knutson J. Hell and Husplobn Sivbrtsen G. Gundbrson Vjjc Ostby J. Johanson Dale Brandt Nyhus The Concordia Society The Concordia Society is the organization of the Theological students, and as such is one of the oldest societies at school. It seems in the past to have played a larger part in school life than now. However, it is still an integral part of Augsburg group life. The Society usually conducts meetings twice a month. The nature of the pro- grams has varied from time to time and from year to year. Of late the plan has been to alternate between group discussion and formal programs. The former are for the members only, while the latter are open to the public. Problems brought up for dis- cussion are such as relate directly to the practical problems of the pastorate. The programs given arc of various natures. Some are given on special occasions such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, and arc in harmony with the spirit of the day. At other times well known speakers arc invited to lecture on subjects bearing directly upon our faith and Christian life. Societies of this nature serve a distinct purpose, and membership in one or another should be a partofa student's program throughout his school life. A large part of that which a student learns he gains from his associates. This type of organi- zation is an excellent means for this purpose. It gives opportunity for a communistic sharing of ideas. It promotes a spirit of understanding and cooperation. Now if there is any group in which the members should know one another, should be able to discuss common problems with intelligence and fairness, and should be able to work together for a common purpose, it is that group which has purposed “to divide the word of truth unto fellow men. Therefore, we conclude that the Concordia Society fills a distinct need. $ ms sm C. OnrnY B. Christensen R. Larson M. Olson The Qospel Team “Singing and salvation seem to Ik closely connected. The daughters of Israel burst forth into praise when they stood on the eastern shore of the Red Sea, wondrously saved by the arm of Jehovah from the galling bondage of Egypt. In the land of captivity in later years, they hung their harps upon the willows, but the One Hundred and Twenty-Sixth Psalm tells us that when the Lord brought His people back to Zion, then was their mouth again filled with laughter and their tongue with singing. And Jesus says that there is joy—which must mean song, too —among the angels of God each time a sinner is liberated from the fetters that bind him on earth. Yes, we even read that in the Blackest of all Nights, just before the Master went forth to Finish the work which the Father had given Him to do, they sang a hymn —though surely that holy Passover anthem must have been in a minor key. Is it not, then, highly fitting that Gospel Teams should be sent out also in our day to combine the ministry of song with the proclamation of the Eternal Good Tidings? Those of us who have had the opportunity of travelling with the Team will ever account the experiences of those months among the most precious privi- leges of life. In some ways, closer contacts are thus established with human souls, Earth’s Final Realities. And to be present as a co-worker when the Gracious Spirit is wooing and winning sinners for the Cross is the highest honor that the sons of men can enjoy. The swelling harmonics then awakened within the soul transcend all the music of earth, and the word of the Psalmist becomes real, In Thy presence is FULLNESS of joy. No doubt through the lack of perfect consecration and the untempered zeal of inexperience, mistakes have been made, also in Gospel Team work. But we trust that as each year goes by, an increasing spiritual efficiency may be attained, and that this branch of Augsburg's influence, too, may continue to be of blessing. € Ms,: ft Oratorical Suit the action to the word, the word to the action: with this special observance, that you overstep not the modesty of nature.—Shakespeare. He is the eloquent man who can treat subjects of an humble nature with delicacy, lofty things impressively, and moderate things temperately.—Cicero. It is the power of the spoken word that very largely influences our thoughts and conduct. Our lives arc moulded to a great extent by the eloquent and artful expres- sions of our fcllowincn. How many times have we not been aroused to live, to do, and to act differently when we have listened to some powerful speech or oration? What a power did not men like Gladstone, Clay, Webster, W. Phillips, Lincoln and a host of others exert over humanity as a whole, because they had something to say, and could use effectively the medium of thought expression to say it? Since the college men and women will become the leaders in influencing and guid- ing the lives of others, they should make use of every opportunity to express their thoughts in good language, clear enunciation, distinct pronunciation and fluent de- livery. Although the class room may constantly point out errors in language and expres- sion, it is not sufficient. It is because of this that contests in literary work, debating, and oratory are open to all students. Each student should feel it his or her duty to participate in one or more of these activities. We arc proud of the fact that Augsburg presents to its students such opportunities, and that considerable interest has been shown by the student body as a whole. In order further to stimulate interest for oratory the graduating class of 1918 pre- sented a silver loving cup, to be the property of the school, and on which was to be engraved the name of the winner each year. Four names have already been engraved upon this cup, and the name of this year's winner is about to be inscribed. The con- test of 1926 took place April 20. The winner was Gotthilf Jorgensen, and his oration was entitled The Spider’s Web. Miss Valborg Brunsvold won second place. Mr. Jorgensen will represent Augsburg in the state oratorical contest next year. The three names which have already been engraved upon the cup are: Bernhard Christensen '22 and '23 Orric Larson '24 , Talbert Ronning ’23. E. Myiirb O. Johnson Sorvig H. Hanson E. Fossan G.

Johnson Dhe Lincoln Debating Club A voice pierced the death-like, stillness of the past, and cried, Come forth!” And the scattered bones came together, taking form, and then the breath of life was given this new being. This, in a few words, contains the history, from death unto life, of an organization which promises to have a busy, interesting, and eventful future. For a number of years student interest in intercollegiate debating has been nill. Any enthusiasm for this kind of snort was confined to our own campus. However, a number of students felt the “call” to broaden our scope of activities, challenging other colleges to debate. Scattered interests, therefore, were centralized, and on Lincoln's Birthday in the year 1925. the Lincoln Debating Club was organized. Within a year the club was negotiating with other colleges for debates. In this respect the members have been successful. The breath of life has been infused. The heart is beating fast. A battle of wits will be fought this year. And next year we expect to conduct quite a series of intercollegiate debates. It is our hope and aim to become known throughout the Northwest in this field of college sports as well as in other activities. With the leadership and assistance of a capable coach, Prof. Severson, we feel this will not be impossible. The Lincoln Club has no past laurels of which to be proud, nor upon which to rest with ease, but expects through true sportsmanship and hard labor to lx: crowned with expressions suited to its victories.

Morgan Erdakl The Echo After spending a few minutes talking over their experiences since they had last seen each other, two former Augsburg students were heard to carry on a conversation somewhat as follows: What do you hear from Augsburg? I don't hear very much. I forgot to pay up my subscription to the Echo some time ago and since then I do not know what has been going on down there. The other papers have so little about what takes place at Augsburg. You must have quit last year then, because I don't see how you could have if you had seen the Echo in its new form. What, have they changed the form of it? Why, yes. Since last fall they have been publishing the paper in newspaper form. There is all the difference in the world between what it used to be and wnat it is now. There is a great deal more news in it, and it is printed every two weeks instead of only once a month. They have had good accounts of the basket-ball games during the winter and I think that alone has been worth the price of the paper. Say, it's just like being there once more to read through its columns. There are better reports of religious activities than there used to be. It’s interesting to notice what the different classes arc doing for entertainment. You remember the locals in the former Echos? Well, there are more of them in the Echo now and they are not as old as they used to be. The name has been changed from Locals to Buckshot. I don't know where they got the name, but the column surely presents a broadside.” Say, I'm going to get the next issue. 3P wm sm. oAugsburgian Staff Herbert Hanson Editor-in-Cbief Edwin Myhre .Student Director Erling Harbo Ass't Editor Okrin Pederson .... .

It was organized for the purpose of bringing about a closer fellowship among the students and to build up and promote high standards of Christian character. The Academy Club was organized only two years ago. It became evident that there was need for such an organization. In previous years the Academy student could only stand aside and watch the functions of the other divisions of the school. Activities were dormant. There was no social organization to speak of, consequently the Academy student was in reality deprived of an important part of his school life, but since the Club was organized, the Academy student, like the Collegian and Theologian, is given full sway to the utilization of his initiative powers. The officers of the Club consist of a president and nine cabinet members. The principal of the Academy acts as adviser. The president is elected at the beginning of cacn school year, and serves throughout the entire year. The members of the cabi- net consist of a Financial, Social, Mission, Athletic, Campus Service, Vocational, Publicity, Church Affiliation, and a Discussion Group secretary. These secretaries are elected at the beginning of each quarter of the school year. The secretaries together with the president and adviser seek to open the channels to many activities in school life. Take, for instance, the Church Affiliation secretary. His duty is to keep the members of the Club in touch with Church activities. He obtains the programs of all Lutheran Churches in the city and is always ready to inform the students. Likewise, all the secretaries have their respective duties, but always work in cooperation with each other to promote effectively student activi- ties and the high standards of Christian Character. € uumaum qf________T lIKJraiBaBESI SOBSC:________ -ft Borsheim A.

Literary activities probably play the greatest part in a person’s education. In the literary field nothing is a greater impetus to study and research than debating. Members of a debating team acquire the art of team-work; working together in harmony. They also learn to meet an opponent face to face in the right spirit; and what is of no less importance; how to be a good loser as well as a good winner. Our Academy is a member of the Twin City Academic Forensic League,' composed of Minnesota College, Minnehaha Academy, and Augsburg Academy. The purpose of this organization is that of fostering a keener interest in literary work, such as: Debating, Declamation, and Oratory, which is done on a competitive basis among the three schools. They have met in debate two times. The question which was to be solved this year was the proposed twentieth amendment: Resolved that Congress shall be given the power to limit, regulate, and prohibit the labor of all persons under eighteen years of age. This question is rather deep for an Academy team; as it involves considerable knowledge of law, and the statutes of our Constitution. However, the team showed commendable ability in gathering the required material, not confining itself to the public libraries alone, but also gaining admittance to such places as the State Library and the Minneapolis Library of Law as well as interviewing competent lawyers who in a special degree arc acquainted with this matter. Although our men lost in the final contest, they showed the spirit of good losers. Their efforts, however, were not in vain, for beside having had experience in debate, the scope of their general knowledge has been broadened. Of WlfcXm J IBjuI 'ecunianj Depositories IficxJ Cigars .

Even There The following story of a supernatural event was related to me by a Danish pastor of no little renown as we sat one afternoon in the quiet of his study enjoying an hour's casual conversation. Whether it was the almost solemn quiet in which 1 heard it, or the convincing integrity of the pastor's personality, or something in- herently appealing about tile story itself which impressed me most I do not know, but so clearly do I recall it that I now record it in the following words almost exactly as I heard the reverend pastor speak them: “I believe that the one incident from my boyhood days in Jutland, Denmark, which I still remember most vividly is the conversion of one of my boy friends by the name of Peter Nielson. Both his father and mother and his younger brothers and sisters had been converted in a general spiritual awakening of the community, but Peter was still stubborn. He would have nothing to do with this fanaticism! Why should he repent? What was a card party, a dance, or an occasional spree? He would do as he pleased, for youth was the time for enjoyment. “He had been in the habit of attending church very occasionally, but now, since this new preaching came in, he felt a holy terror for the church. Neither there nor at home was peace or rest to be found any more. The new piety and love of his parents condemned his whole manner of living, the family devotions made him feel absolutely out of place, and when his folks and friends asked him again and again to give his heart to Christ his patience gave way to an inward sullen rage. “Finally, when he could endure it no longer he decided to leave home. Under pretext of seeking higher wages he went to Christiania, Norway, to find peace for his restless soul. He got a job there as mason on a large hotel building. For a while all went well. New interests and diversions completely absorbed his attention and calmed his troubled mind. Here, he thought, was a place where he could live safely and sanely. How he pitied his poor, narrow-minded folks at home! They were prudish, ascetic, unnatural, and melancholy. He was young, carefree, ambitious, happy, broadminded, and getting much more out of life than they who lived so tamely at home. “He readily made friends among the men with whom he worked, for he was of an amiable and likable disposition when in his own element. A particularly fine comradeship grew up between him and his roommate who was also a mason. They agreed perfectly in all their ways of living a id on matters of religion as well. “But this was too good to last. As he stepped from the foot of the ladder one day on his way to lunch his companion suddenly fell from the dizzy heights above and was instantly killed at his feet. Like a flash the thought came to him, 'What if that had been me? I’m not ready to die, but my foot might just as well have slipped as his.’ He ate no lunch that day. When the whistles blew again, he went to the foreman and told him he was quitting because he was completely unnerved. “There was little sleep for Peter that night or on succeeding nights. Every familiar scene where he had spent so many rollicking nights with his ill-fated com- panion now haunted him with a dread mockery. Memories of many tender entreaties to give his heart to Christ troubled him. Nowhere was there a moment's peace of mind. Plays were insipid; conversation failed; and a new job was not to be found. He felt like a caged and tortured animal. To remain longer in Christiania was out of question, but to go back to Jutland would be like jumping from the ashes into the fire, and so in desperation lie boarded a ship for Riga. “The change was a most welcome one, and he threw himself into his new life with an almost desperate energy. It was not long before the terrors of his experi- ence in Christiania seemed to him nothing more than the passing horrors of a sickly dream. He found various kinds of work, and part of the year he was employed as a pearl diver in the great oyster beds near Riga. “One clay, as he was busily at work submerged in some fathoms of water, he noticed a spot of white at his feet. Wondcringly, he bent over, picked it up, and held it close to his visor the better to examine it. Imagine his feelings when he found it to be a religious tract! He started like a wild animal suddenly cornered. Memories of his long llight from the Spirit of God rushed upon him. The import of the message coupled with the almost weird circumstances in which he found it greatly increased the agitation of his naturally sensitive soul. A profound conviction of sin gripped him like a vise; and he groaned within himself what he could hardly have expressed articulately, 'God be merciful to me a sinner.’ All that he knew or realized at that moment was that he was a terrible sinner against God and without excuse. In agony of spirit he again looked at the tract more closely, and this time he read, But to him that worketh not but believeth on him that justilieth the ungodly, his faith is reckoned him for righteousness.’ ’That's for me,’ lie said almost aloud 'there could Ik no more ungodly person than I am.’ “Then he remembered the words of the Psalmist which he had learned in his childhood, and which many a time since had made him feel chilled and uncomfortable, but now sounded like music to his troubled soul: 7 t ik the wings of the morning, Ami dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; liven there shall Thy hand lead me. And Thy right hand shall hold me.' “ Rescued The day was hot and sultry and the sun a molten ball of fire, journeyed slowly through a sodden sky. Not a leaf stirred in the forest. The air was heavy and stag- nant and seemed to press down as if all the heavens were compressing it into a narrow space. All nature vvasstill.as it felt the power of Him who rules the universe. The stillness foreboded a storm and the signs all pointed towards a very serious one. The sky was not cloudy, but a haze covered the blue dome above so that the sun was not bright but very hot. Before the sun sank in the far west the wind began to blow and it gained in velocity rapidly, so that at sundown it was approaching the fierceness of a hurricane. In a little hamlet on the coast of Maine the people moved around restlessly and viewed the troubled sky with much concern. The inhabitants made their living by fishing and the men had gone out early that day in order to make a good catch and still have time to come in ere sundown. One of the inhabitants of this little town was an old sailor, who had retired from active service on sea, but also who had chosen this place in order that he might be near the ocean. He was a Christian gentleman, who loved his Master, and he spread cheer and happiness wherever he went. This old sailor lookcl at the heavens and knew that the poor fishermen were in great danger unless they could gain the harbor safely. As the storm increased, the people became more restless and a feeling of anxiety gripped them as they thought of their loved ones out on the troubled waters. The brave men seeing their danger, had started for home a little earlier than usual and began to come in one by one. One of them, a little braver than his com- rades, had stayed longer in order to make a better haul. As dusk began to envelope the earth he started for home, thinking that he would reach the harbor safely before darkness should fall. Just outside the harbor-gates his boat was caught by a huge wave and he was thrown headlong into the raging ocean. He screamed for help, but to make his voice heard above the howling of the wind was almost impossible. The news spread fast that one man had not returned. The people gathered on the shore and looked out upon the sea for a sign of the fisherman. The jxior wife became almost hysterical in her anxiety and her helplessness. She paced the shore and wrung her hands in despair. The sailor also came down to the shore and looked out through the dusk upon the turbulent blue. He saw nothing, so he put all his powers of concentration upon hi« sense of hearing, trying to distinguish any call of help, if there should be one, from the moaning or the wind. Standing thus, listening intently, he heard a faint cry and knew at once that it was a cry of distress. He immediately stepped into a boat and bade one of the men to shove off. The man addressed was younger and stronger, so he said he would go to the rescue. The sailor was resolute. No,” he said, I will go out. You have a wife and family to support. You must not take the risk. I have no one dependent upon me, so I will go out. I am not afraid, for I have One who goes with me even through death. The old sailor went out and was successful in rescuing the man who was strug- gling in the waves out there beyond the harbor-gates. As they landed safely, the rescued man's wife fell on her knees before the old sailor and thanked him for his brave act. He looked down and beheld her there, as she gave her thanks and expressed her joy. He said to her, Do not fall upon your knees and thank me, but rather bend your knees before God and thank Him for showing you his omnipotent power, and also that He gave me faith and strength to go out and rescue your husband. I am only a weak mortal and could have clone nothing against the raging elements, if He had not been with me and had given me His help. Literature There arc many people who look upon literature as something outside their realm of life. Some men think of it as being far above them, vet something they would like to understand. Others consider it impractical. The fact of the matter is that there is food for every type of mind, for every type of man who has the least bit of human sympathy in him. In the field of poems and stories there is an abundance of all kinds from the simple and lighter-veined story to the more complicated and deeply philosophical ones. At Augsburg we have learned to love and pri .e the masterpieces of literary art. The experiences of Hamlet, Shylock, Dora, Ulysses, and a host of other personalities in the realm of literature, have become a part of us. We have learned to know some of these characters even better than our own college friends. We have learned great truths and lessons from life by having come to know of their love, hate, jealousies, ambitions, joys, and successes. Our experiences have been broadened, our lives enriched, and our souls inspired through the study and enjoyment of poems, fables, dramas, essays, and stories covering every imaginable sphere of human feeling and action. We would be surprised were we to note how many of our acts and thoughts have been the result of our reading. We arc all guided by the advice given us by the characters in literature, even as we allow our thoughts and actions to be guided by our friends. Literature, then, is not an impractical thing to be despised or a thing beyond our reach, but a very simple and essential part of life. Literature at Augsburg In the field of Literature, it is Augsburg's aim to cultivate the best. Great empha- sis is placed on the study of the noblest in literary expression down through the cen- turies. Through such a study, we arc inspired to seek the noble, true, just, honest, and lovely things in life. An emphasis upon lofty ideals is especially needed in this age of rampant ma- terialism. Modern critics seem united in shattering all noble aspirations and in seeking to break away from everything that is holy and sacred. The spirit of mer- cantilism pervades all our modern life, literature included. Glance through any of our modern novels and magazines and you will find them polluted with the spirit of the age, and an appeal to man's lower and baser emotions. Truth and beauty nave been sacrificed for pecuniary gain. The soul has been taken out of our literature. When the masters are studied in many of our higher institutions of learning, there seems to Ik an instinctive fear of their moral and spiritual fervor. The moral strength of Shakespeare is obscured and lost in endless and purposeless discussions of style and stage presentation. The other classics suffer a like fate. If, then, in a sentence, I should state Augsburg’s aim in teaching literature, I would say that here we aim at getting at the soul of the classics. Augsburg aims at cultivating the best, leading her students to appreciate the best in literary expres- sion, that they might in turn impart that spirit of appreciation to others. The Reading Public What shall I read ? That is a question which confronts everyone. Reading is the most profitable way of spending one's leisure moments, and no one can do too much of it. But the time may not be so profitably spent if the reading is merely some late novel of little or no value. However, that is the kind of reading the greater part of the public enjoys. Books of fiction are always in demand, regardless of the author, style, or purpose of the book. A new book is nardly classified before it is in the hands of the public. If this is true of the new books, what can be said of the old standard classics? They will always be found neatly placed on the shelf, whenever anyone may deem it necessary or convenient to read them. The majority of people now, have the idea that an old book is out of date, and therefore is not worth the time spent to read it. But these standard classics that have lived throughout long ages, always contain something new. The Bible, the greatest of all books, is always an inspiration, and reveals a new thought, reveals something f-rearer and more powerful each time it is read. We should, therefore, cultivate a ovc for the very best in literature, for in it are taught the great lessons of Christian sympathy and love. T)ital Religion Our relationship to God is not a mechanical one—not one of ropes and bars, of chains and cement. It is the larger, freer relationship (let me say it with reverence) of kindred personalities. But every relationship of life has its laws—cruel, hard, inexorable, oppressive— or firm, warm, unchanging, helpful—all according to how we consciously relate ourselves to them. The laws of growth forbid that we should break with past life. It would be fatal. Therefore a living faith does not ignore the creeds, confessions, and traditions of the past. Abide thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of. How the plant unlocks the food from the earth and transforms it into living tissue is the constant object of our wonder. But it is as needful as it is marvelous. Likewise, the Christian finds in the Holv Scriptures that element from which by an unseen but wonderful process his soul draws nourishment for life and service. No deeper marvel is there in God’s universe than this that a soul can transform the Word of Life from the written page into the essence and energy of life itself. There arc universal laws of growth, but dissimilar expression; the same principle of life but liberty of methods. What a genius of variety is nature with her genus, and species, and kind within kind! There arc the myriad flowers and the infinite variety of plants and shrubs and trees. The meanest flower that blows has none other like it; the simplest blade of grass is unique. Yet there is but one life-giving principle —one nature. And this is the genius of nature that in diversity there is no conflict, that in the many there is one. _____mtG mto — All nature is harmonious, but it is her very differences that constitute the sym- metry of the whole. This too is a lesson in vital religion. “I am the vine; ye arc the branches. Here is the secret of true religion: it is living a life. It is knowing the full life, the abundant life, the overflowing life! But where is the fountain of this life, and where can it be found? Strange to say, it is found in a man—a man who still lives as man— but (and here is the marvel of the ages) a man who only had power to say, I am the way, the truth, and THE LIFE. Coupled with this great truth is another of such magnitude that we bow in reverence before it, and we speak not hastily in its presence. It is this: In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. Art No one has ever formulated an adequate definition of Art, but the majority of individuals who use the word have some sort of a serviceable interpretation of the term. Since Art is not a requisite for the sustenance of physical life, many fail to recognize that it is a universal human need, and that without it life must be far less rich. Although we may never successfully express in words the meaning of Art, we do gain somewhat in inner experience by attempting to do so. We look at the visible world about us and we attempt to grasp the secret or meaning that lies back of it all; and if this irresistible impulse becomes powerful enough, we turn to some form of Art as the most satisfactory outlet for the desire for interpretation that we feel within us. The artist is very much like his fellows except that he is able to perceive diff- erences or distinctions that arc not manifest to ordinary mortals. It is because of this keener perception that he is able to express through various media—color, line, form, sound, the meaning which he believes to have perceived. After he has pointed out the distinctions, it is possible for men of duller sensibilities to grasp the element of beauty and truth that until then was obscure. It is not essential for us to understand the manner in which the artist has been enabled to sense the relation of the world to humanity it is sufficient that we develop the capacity to appreciate what he has done; to exercise correct choice and fine feeling based on genuine standards. That is taste, and that must he the extent of the relation of the majority to art. The ultra-keen sensitiveness is innate, but fortunately, the capacity to appreciate can be developed. Science Science is a body of systematized knowledge. It is also often defined as a body of systematized and verified knowledge expressing in general terms the relations of exactly defined phenomena. Science is, in other words, knowledge founded upon facts only. Facts gathered and the classification of relationships made are not more or less accurate, more or less true; they arc tested and verified results. All present day knowledge in order to be reliable necessitates being scientific. Hence, sound decisions of Science, its methods, and use form the basis for all sound Modern Learning. Gain scientific knowledge about a phenomenon and the mystery of it disappears. Much of past learning and knowledge was unscientific, therefore unsound, giving way to mystery, uncertainty, unbelief, and confusion. Lacking soundness, its faults were and are gradually uncovered only to give way to something better,— Modern Scientific Knowledge. Applying Science to the natural processes we sec its benefits. By its application man is passing from a frightened subjection to Nature to its conscious control. The fruits of that control as it progresses arc all-pervading in practical life. It changes in detail much of our thinking, our problems, our daily life, influencing our whole being. The scope of Science is broad, its limits incomprchcnsivc, no one can predict its accomplishments, nor evaluate its benefits, if it be true Science and rightly applied. JMuszc While music has always held a place in the student life of Augsburg it was only four years ago that a de- finite music department was estab- lished. These four years have seen the department emerge from the twi- light to a light more clear and dis- tinct. Today we have a depart- ment which fills a demand in the school curriculum and which will grow with the school in quality and quantity. A piano department develop- ing many skilful performers and presenting them in public recitals; a voice department with its steady growth; the glee club and choral so- ciety each working diligently, with their eyes fixed on their annual spring tours as a goal; the band which en- livens our athletic contests and puts pep into our gatherings -of such is our music department composed. Of necessity a department of this kind must unfold and develop slowly and our aim can only be to make each new year larger and have it con- tribute more to the school as a whole. Our shortcomings are many and we acknowledge our faults hoping that they can be overcome or rectified in time to come. We wish to express our gratitude to the Church - folk, pastors and alumni, who have supported us, thereby making our Glee club tours successful. The many kind things said and done have given us confidence and renewed our determination. WXt m. E. Larson Ostrom Halling Rue M. Olson M. Quanbeck Sand Nielson Jrrstad Soderg Michaelson Lemohn Lowbr Erickson Elnbb Gynild Opsbtii (Director ) L. Si.rttsn E. Hardo G.Tanovalo The Augsburg Qlee Club Music has the power to lift our souls up to a higher plane of living; it has the power to dispel gloom from our hearts, and to create within us a desire for better things here on earth and for life eternal. When our hearts arc full of joy we express it by singing. Who has not been thrilled by the full throated warble of the birds in the springtime? Is there anyone so soulless that hecannot be swayed by the beauti- ful strains of an instrument played by a master, or by the melodious voices of a choir that is directed by a man who knows how to interpret music and bring out its beauty? Music is indeed a power of God, which lifts us from the ugly and the commonplace, up into a realm of beauty and peace. Just as the Lutheran Free Church makes music and singing part of her service, so docs Augsburg Seminary embrace music and song as a part of her school life. The Augsburg Glee Club, the oldest musical organization at our school, is still a very potent factor at our Alma Mater. The Glee Club not only gives concerts here in the Twin Cities, but it also goes out each year to bring a message of cheer and to bring the gospel in song to the ones who are helping their school and our school to carry on the work which it destined to do. It is a pleasure indeed to have the privilege of being a member of this organization. To go out and enjoy the fellowship of our friends who show us such generous hospi- tality and splendid support in order that our work can go on successfully is inspiring. We have been fortunate the last four years in having the services of Henry P. Opseth. Under his able directing and untiring efforts the club has created for itself a name and attained a position of which we arc truly proud. € WU MVL $ Each year it changes. The familiar faces leave and new ones fill in the gaps. We arc ever changing, never going backward, but always advancing. Such is life. We see men advance to fame. We feel that they arc important for our very existence. We cannot see how the world can go on without them, but when they pass, the world mourns for a short time only and then resumes its course, unaffected, unchanged. So the Glee Club ever changes. It has a standard to reach and to live up to so the work goes on until that goal is reached. During the spring of 1925, the Club made a tour through parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan. The first concert was given at Wanamingo, Minn. Con- certs were given at LaCrossc, Argyle, Blanchardvillc, Racine, Marinette, Wisconsin, Menominee, Escanaba, and L'Ansc, Michigan. The last lap of our tour took us into our own state and we gave concerts at Duluth, Moose Lake, and Sandstone. The trip was very successful. It was very long because the congregations arc far apart. The splendid support given us by the pastors and the congregations not only spurred us on to do our best, but it showed us that they arc keenly interested in Augsburg and her welfare. We made a short trip into the northern part of the state in May, 1925. Rev. Stowcll invited the club to come up and sing for his congregations. We gladly consented and gave concerts at Isle, Waukon, and Mora, Minn. This year the club visited the congregations in the southern and southwestern part of the state. Concerts were given at Madclia, Adrian, Luverne, Hills, Hendricks, Montevideo and Sacred Heart, Minnesota. The trip was very successful in every way. Our only regret is that it was too short. We would like to make the same trip again, but when the time comes for another visit to these congregations, this Glee Club will have passed and a new one will have taken its place. We can truthfully say to any future Glee Club that it need never have any fear to visit our friends in southern Minnesota. You will be welcomed with joy and generously supported if you bend your steps that way. The Glee Club of 1926 planned to make a trip to the West coast at the end of the school year. Unforeseen difficulties arose so the tour had to be abandoned for this year. We hope that some future Glee Club will be able to carry out our intentions. To make such a trip would be of infinite value to each member of the club, to the school and to the congregations as well. When the people arc so far away that they cannot visit our school, it is our duty to see to it that the school is brought to them. It is only through concerted effort and willing co-operation that we can hope to succeed in our work to make Augsburg a bigger and better school as the years go by. May the Glee Club continue its work in our school and in our congregations. May the time never come when the club shall feel that its efforts arc in vain. We not only hope that souls may be won for Christ, but that men may be inspired to greater things. If the Glee Club is instrumental in doing this much for our God and for our school, then its work has not been in vain. € $ Qj_________ THE Z Z THE GLEE CLUB C ;t. $ZZ JggSHBe6 _jp :;i MijyWHBBllg:___ZT_Z p Qt THE GLEE CLUB —� = C : - ibnshme Jbrstad Lower Galstad R.

Elnrjs Augsburg Hand In number this is not a large organization. We believe, though, that we have upheld our dignity at least in making ourselves heard in various ways off and on the campus. In the face of all the handicaps and ludicrous comments and the fact that the extended tours of the band have succumbed at the Pillsbury Gymnasium and the newspaper write-ups have been found in the columns of that which was never written, we cherish the encouragement given by our director when he said, You boys, (and one girl) arc succeeding wonderfully well in your lack of harmony . In the spring of 1925 this organization of less than a score of members gave a con- cert on the Augsburg campus. During the Basket-Ball season the Band tries its best to support the players in making itself present at each local intercollegiate meet and supporting it by cheering through music (if such a thing may be possible) for the team and the school. This organization has not reached the size and strength that our leader, Prof. Opseth, as well as the members of the band, hoped and wished for. We arc, however, convinced that the acorn sown in this work will grow and prove in the next few years a Sturdy Oak for the furtherance and support of Augsburg. The band of any college should be one of the outstanding organizations of the school. A good band is an asset to the school in that it is a means of advertising, a means of inspiration and enjoyment, and an educational and practical training for the members themselves. We talk much and hear a great deal about a greater Augsburg. If this is to be a real thing; if there is to be a greater Augsburg, why not a greater Augsburg band? £ t i ft i ■■■■ lit 1 f.

Larson P. Norum •Augsburg Choral Society With the increase in the number of girl students this year it was felt that there were enough who were interested in music to launch a girls' chorus. As a result about thirty of the young women met together one afternoon and organized them- selves into a group called the Augsburg Choral Society. Practice began without delay and it was not long before they were invited to sing before an audience. Their first appearance before the public was on November 25, when the Concordia Society invited them to sing at their Thanksgiving program. Later the group appeared at the Faculty reception, Trinity church, and also at a meeting of the twin-city branch of Flckkcfjord Laget. Shortly before Christmas plans were started for a ten day tour to be made some- time in April. Eighteen girls were picked from the group to go on the tour, and these settled down to hard practice. The Choral group left on April 23, going to Willmar, Donnelly, Cyrus, Hoffman, Alexandria, Brandon, Dalton, Fergus Falls, Battle Lake, Vining, Henning, Brainerd, and arriving home again on May, the third. There were sometimes two concerts given in one day. A joint homecoming concert with the Men's Glee Club on May 4, in Trinity church, formed the climax. Though not as firmly established an organization as the Men's Glee Club, we feel that they have made a good start, and that Augsburg and her friends will have as much reason to be proud of them as she is of her other activities. We want to feel that this group, too, arc performing a part in school-life. Professor Opseth has had infinite patience with this group and it is due to his untiring and sincere efforts that they were able to accomplish what they did. He took the raw material and whipped it into a well balanced and organized group, and we have hopes that in the future they shall improve even more under his direction. $_______ mEZM0Bgm®iaDEM:___n: Top Row—Loland, Borsheim, Elness, Tanovald, C.

Certainly we do not teach English in order to produce authors. Neither do we teach history to produce historians, nor mathematics to create mathematicians. Likewise, though never a professional musician should evolve from any particular institution, it cannot be denied that all effort toward educating students musically is entirely defensible, economically and educationally. The teacher is decidedly a dealer in futures, for every lesson is a stone hewn for the building of character and self-expression. And since the statement that no man who, now and then, hums the melodies of his boyhood need be mistrusted, is probably no exaggeration, we can readily sec how great is the responsibility of the music teacher. But the immediate effects of the study of music arc quite as important as the later results. Hollis Dann, of Cornell University, says that his experience with hundreds of children has convinced him that the mental power and alertness of the child arc materially increased as a result of tonal and rhythmic development. The testimony of scores of teachers supports this contention. At Magdalen College, Oxford Univer- sity, ten percent, of the students take music. Seventy-five percent, of the many prizes and scholarships offered the students in all departments arc won bv these ten percent. This rather amazing average has obtained for the past thirty-five years. The study of music should instil reverence for the beautiful. There are certain ideals of artistic integrity which the student should imbibe. If a student aspires to know even a little about music he should aspire to know that little well. In order to interpret authoritatively even simple music a student must be familiar with the art that produced the music. The student who cannot think music is not a musician, for music is a manner of thinking. And as such music enters into our life and gives expression to its every phase. This, then, is why we teach music! ----wt Bm Alumni Students and alumni of Augsburg: the educational institution which has been our foster-mother during the years of our preparation for life's duties is, to-day, urgently calling for manifestation of true loyalty from her sons and daughters. Our school is passing through a critical period in its development a period of read- justment to changing conditions and new demands. During this process of readjustment our school needs the most efficient support that you and I can give it, for difficulties arc con- fronting it from many angles, and without the co-operation of student body and alumni very little can be done. I feel that we all have our eyes turned toward the future, and that spirit, if it be combined with wise and vigorous action, is prophet- ic of a greater Augsburg. Wherein can we be of assistance? Let the alumni of Augsburg give- chief attention to one big task which presents itself to them: the initiating of a movement towards providing Augsburg with better building equip- ment. I believe that the alumni should consider this their duty. We have waited long enough for someone else to start something in this direction. What is wrong with our doing the starting? Should not we who have had the privilege of college education be the first to come to the aid of our alma mater when she is in need? It will mean sacrifice, certainly; but we cannot consider ourselves properly attached to any cause until we are willing to sacrifice for it. And if we take the lead, giving evidence that we really mean business, it will aid immensely in getting others to follow. And students of Augsburg, your opportunity of furthering the progress of your school lies in the maintenance of a wholesome school spirit. Strive at all times, and to the best of your ability, to maintain in addition to the spirit of progress the spirit of co-operation. No doubt there arc times when you feel that certain things should be different, and that changes which you consider imperative arc slow in a comint critical of some arc many that we may justly be proud of. Stand up for your school; be a booster for Augsburg. lgcs wmen y That is the case at any school; a student body is as a general thing a very group. Be big enough to overlook some of these defects. Take note rather of the advance steps which your school has made in recent years—and there f fa JJJ( President Alumni Association ___WRMSm $ cA (greater Augsburg Augsburg's past is glorious. Many an address has been delivered, many an article written, many a personal testimony uttered, in which her achievements in days gone by have been set forth in glowing metaphor and unstinted assertion. Not that her past has been faultless. No; the minute records of her every activity, that have in these fifty-seven years been indelibly inscribed by the Pen that is never still, would no doubt reveal acts and attitudes that could with difficulty be justified -nor have voices been lacking to point these out. But on the whole, our Alma Mater's past is secure. Conceived in the burning passion for spiritual life and freedom which our fathers brought with them over the brine to their new homes in the Westland, and born into an environment of intense loves and deep-seated antagonisms, of strong convictions and consequently bitter struggles, she survived the imminent dangers of infancy, grew rapidly to strong youth, and soon took her place as an uncompromising champion of genuine evangelical Lutheranism. Inevitably she incurred the enmity of many- some through misunderstanding, some through wide divergence of principle. Often she stood on the brink of destruc- tion. Perhaps her hardships were Divine benedictions in disguise. At any rate, she emerged from them victorious—not as strong outwardly as her friends might have desired, perhaps, but with the consciousness that she had played a real part in the battle. Sne had set in motion spiritual forces that were to be irresistible. She had spoken, and the echoes would roll from soul to soul, and grow forever and forever — Would they? Son of Man, lift thine eyes to the future. What scest thou? Surely, thou dost not discern any failure to seek the Kingdom! Is not the Spirit of Augsburg unchanged? What evidence of spiritual fervor present in days gone by is lacking today? Hear, O Israel! Is it not enough that we arc as in days gone by? In those days spiritual leaders were equipped for their time. Their task is finished now. They fought valiantly and they have heard their Well done! But their field of labor was a narrow one. The field that challenges us is broad. They were called to min- ister to a single people. We arc called to serve every element in the great Melting Pot.—The prophets of that day were allowed to abide in Israel and seek to woo her back to Jehovah. We of today arc summoned to go even unto Nineveh, that great world-city, and unsparingly lift our voices against her manifold iniquities. We may set sail for Tarshish if we will. We may say that our mission is to our own people. We may plead our excuses eloquently and long. But the Divine Word has been uttered, and it altercth not. New occasions teach new duties; Time makes ancient good uncouth; They must upward still, and onward, who would keep abreast of Truth; Lo, before us gleam her camp-fires! we our- selves must Pilgrims be, Launch our Mayflower, and steer boldly through the desperate winter sea, Nor attempt the Future's portal with the Past’s blood-rusted key. Son of Man, what scest thou? SUIRAM DRAHNRBB oA Cj re at er Augsburg The undersigned has been requested to state his views to the 1926 Augsburgian on the topic A more progressive Augsburg, with especial reference to the future.” What the future has in store no one knows, but it is our duty to plan as best we can on the basis of the present and the past. As an institution Augsburg needs growth outwardly in keeping with the develop- ment of its spiritual life and in accordance as well with the demands of the times. This outward growth at Augsburg can not come normally or gradually, as it has failed to grow outwardly over a long period of time. Action must he somewhat hastened to get in line with those who have been growing normally. Co-education has proved itself an asset already in the development of a school spirit. The increase in the number of students is gratifying, and yet the number is not sufficiently large to warrant the hope that the institution is going to be able to take on a building program and at the same time a vigorous campaign for an endow- ment fund. Such action will, in the opinion of the writer, depend entirely upon the enthusiasm and ability of the student body itself. The old stand-bys of the school who fought through the nineties and the middle-aged men and women throughout the country who have only grown up by association as it were to be Augsburgians, are not, in the writer's opinion, receptive to the new program of a large outlay of money. And yet it must come if Augsburg is coexist. It musccotnc by the influence of the young people attending school. A careful study should Ik made of the needs of the institution. A survey will disclose the fact that a considerable amount of cash and pledges over a period of years must in some way be secured. Such a study and preparation of plans, coupled with a determination to act, should accomplish something in spite of the handicaps referred to. The alumni of the school need a day of regeneration. For some reason or other interest has waned, or perhaps it has never existed. The business interests of the city of Minneapolis need to Ik reminded in a most tactful and yet convincing manner of their duties to the only College institution within its borders, except the State University. The every-day citizens of Minneapolis, at least the protestatu faction, could well be called upon to support an institution that has brought so much good to the community. Tnc country folks should and ought to Ik aroused to participa- tion. All this needs action along well defined lines with carefully prepared plans in order to reach a definite objective. How much will be needed is a vital question to ask. The writer has given con- siderable attention to this problem over a period of years. And the figure is admittedly a high one. Nothing less than a cash sum of two hundred thousand dollars would be needed at once to undertake a building program. This, together with the possible- sale of the old property and a mortgage on the new, would probably be sufficient to move the school to the new location, to say nothing about an endowment fund sooner or later of at least five hundred thousand dollars. Jesus says: If we have faith like a mustard seed, we can move mountains.” To the writer's mind this means, if we have any faith whatsoever, we can overcome difficulties apparently as large as mountains; or, let us say faith, figuratively speaking, of the size of a mustard seed can move Augsburg. In other words, the smallest and meagerest FAITH can, according to Jesus, overcome large difficulties. The Question is: Have the friends of Augsburg, young and old, this faith, or is hope and charity the best we can present? C. M. Roan, '04 A (greater Augsburg If I were asked to mention one thing which more than any other makes for a Greater Augsburg, I would say loyalty”, loyalty on the part of students, faculty, and alumni. Loyalty to Augsburg means loyalty to what? It may be loyalty in attending classes, in giving instruction in certain subjects, in subscribing funds and equipment—but above all it means loyalty to what Augsburg stands for. What docs she stand for? Many good things could be mentioned here. In fact, we can say she stands for everything that is good and noble. But if the question were put to all her sons and daughters, and they were to answer it with one word, the answers would vary. Some would say service . Surely, that word has a large place. The words of Christ, He who would become great among you Jet him be the servant of all , is held forth in season and out of season, from the first class to the last, not perhaps in so many words, but in a deep undercurrent in all instruction. Christ said, 7 am among you as one that serveth.” Yet the word service docs not occupy the first place. There is something which precedes it, the exclusion of which makes real service impossible. Others would say freedom . Augsburg stands for a free people in a free church, a free church in a free country. Freedom is essential to natural growth. Without it the growth must be stunted. Yet freedom must be guided by another word, lest it become an occasion to the flesh. Out of it comes true freedom and out of true free- dom comes real service. When I look back upon the years I spent at Augsburg, one word stands out in bold relief over the school. It flashes upon my mind as does a large electric sign in the darkness. Over business concerns arc certain words electrically lighted, which can be seen at a distance through the thick darkness, disconnected as it were from buildings below. In want of a better illustration, let me apply this to Augsburg. The word which can be seen above her, shining forth in the midst of a world of false- hood and deception, disconnected as it were from the building itself, is the word truth”. In life the highest aim is truth , is not for the first time impressed upon the student as he receives his diploma from the college. That may be the first time it is worded that way. The motto is only expressing in words what has stood out in bold relief throughout the whole course of study. Truth is attained to only in the measure that it is sought for and incarnated in our lives. There is no other way to truth than this. Any information about truth as such is of no value unless it finds expression in our lives. You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.” As truth sets us free it becomes a power in us to serve, not from outward compulsion, but from inner restraint. Apart from this all service becomes eye serv- ice, drudgery. Search for truth is what gives conviction. It is that which has led men and women into lives of true service, led them to follow the Servant of servants, who like a kernel of wheat fell in the ground that it might bear much fruit. It is loyalty to Augsburg then which makes for a greater Augsburg. She is not confined to anyone building or any one spot. The whole world is her field for ex- pansion. She extends herself even to heathen lands, to the most benighted corners of the earth. Those of her sons whose privilege it has been to go out to Madagascar, India, and China also try to Ik- loyal to Augsburg, though to their regret little finan- cial support is forthcoming from them. Augsburg’s motto becomes their motto, and this they seek to bring to the people who arc in darkness and shadow of death. It is truth alone that can set free those who arc in bondage, and make them servants of the Lord. Let us be proud, in the best sense of the word, that we arc alumni of Augsburg, and let us first of all be loyal to what she stands for, loyal to truth itself! Fred Ditmanson T5 A Cj re ater ®Augsburg It seems that the common aspiration of all Augsburgers at present is a greater Augsburg.” The alumni, student body, faculty, friends, and patrons arc one and all vitally interested in the achievement of this aim, a greater Augsburg.” It is not merely a selfish interest, as we firmly believe that the realization of this aim means not only that the Lutheran Free Church will be better able to serve its young people, but that it spiritually, morally, and educationally can be a greater determining in- fluence on the life of the people of the Northwest and of the Nation. If we believe at all in our principles and precepts, we believe that we shall do more good as we come in contact with more people. Let us therefore widen our educational field. But this means a greater Augsburg.” Expansion involves a danger; that of too rapid and unsound growth. It is im- measurably better to be concerned with the soundness of our growth than with its rapidity. Augsburg's leaders have much to say concerning a policy of expansion, and in the long run we shall find that we have done our best for Augsburg if we whole- heartedly support the policy as determined by our leaders, trying to see their view- points, sympathizing with the awkward situations in which they often arc placed, giving them the assurance of our backing at all times—rather than by too easily criticizing slow, but sound growth. We younger people arc prone to think that our way is the best—but as we grow older, we arc not quite so sure. What docs “a greater Augsburg” mean? In our first consideration of the question, we think of new buildings, giving us sufficient room for library, laboratories, and classrooms; we think of splendid equipment for these buildings; of a large campus, dormitories; and last, and at least in our eyes of much importance, a fine gymnasium and athletic field. (How we did miss them!). The value of athletics is practically unquestioned. Its correct use, however, is a matter of opinion. Augsburg's policy in the past concerning athletics has been narrow; it can very safely be broadened considerably. The danger, of course, lies in overemphasizing athletics, in placing it higher in our estimation and esteem than other phases of education of unquestionable value. Almost all schools arc con- fronted with the problem of the proper importance of athletics. Under the present leadership, Augsburg is assured a sound atlilctic policy. It is a matter of pleasure to us to see Augsburg taking its place in the athletic world. It is a great relief not to have to explain what and where and why Augsburg is. But when we go a little more deeply into our consideration of the meaning of ”a greater Augsburg” we can not help but feel that our first conception is only super- ficial, that we have only constructed the shell. We realize that without a selected student body, chosen for ability and willingness to serve, that without able and in- spiring teachers, that without a spirit of unselfishness, broadmindedness, and har- mony pervading the whole, our fine buildings might as well be barns and our equip- ment playthings. Let us not get caught in a mad rush for empty display, for externals which might satisfy temporarily. Let us keep the true goal in sight. Let us work steadily and unwaveringly for it. Let us strive for a serviceable Augsburg, a soul-satisfying Augsburg, and we shall achieve “a greater Augsburg”. Leif S. Harbo '18. MBBBHK }p tsC A cMore Widely Known Augsburg There arc evidences of A Greater Augsburg. The editor has requested a few words, suggesting the subject A Greater Augsburg . The writer, having had the opportunity of living in one or another of the dormitories for a period of over twenty years, wishes to point out some changes within, which are leading to A Greater Augsburg. These are by far not the greatest changes, nor are they the most signifi- cant, but they are well worth the mentioning. In the first place, there seems to be an increasing understanding and a growing toleration of other colleges within the state. The student body of Augsburg, as a whole, and not only a few leaders, is learning to know its academic neighbors. Dur- ing previous years there have been spasmodic and occasional forensic relations estab- lished with other institutions, but these have never brought about any appreciable understanding between student bodies. In the field of missions and Bible study work, there have been for a number of years several avenues of intercourse through the Student Volunteer Movement, the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. Speakers who have been well acquainted with conditions in colleges all over the united States have visited our school and have presented to our students facts which have tended to enlighten them on questions common to all college students. During the last two years, other avenues of intercourse have been opened between our students and the students of other schools. Speaking conservatively, I believe that I may say that over half of our student body has visited other colleges during the past year and larger or smaller delegations have visited every college in the state, either as participants or spectators at various athletic contests. The readjustment has been mutual, as we have learned to know others, they have learned to know us. This development has brought about a wholesome school consciousness and loyalty. The other sign of internal growth, giving evidence of a greater Augsburg, is the increasing appreciation on the part of the students of the value of keeping the name of our school continually before the public. As one in immediate touch with this phase of our school's life, 1 would venture to say authoritatively that throughout its whole earlier existence Augsburg has not received as much recognition in the public press as during the last two years. Our students recognize the value of this truth. They know that during this winter Augsburg received as much publicity in the Minneapolis newspapers as any two other colleges within the state, standing second only to the University. Realizing this, our students know that they can go back into their home communities, expecting to find their college as well recognized as any other college in the state. Truly, there is hardly any factor more potent than this in the creation of solidarity, and loyalty to our Alma Mater. It will bring other sons and daughters of the Northwest to Augsburg. It will make the dear name of Augsburg known to every generation. It will help to build a Greater Augsburg. B. HliLLAND T8. Of «BMWBa� sAthletics An Education has been and still is looked upon as a preparation for a life calling. A broader and truer conception is to view an education as a preparation for life—nay, as a part of life itself. The best prepara- tion for life is living, and so school life should approximate real life. Athletics has claimed its rightful place in life in this day and age. Critics of athletics claim that it has usurped a place. Perhaps, in some ways and in some localities the pen- dulum has swung too far, but it will, without a doubt, swing back. On the other hand, it must be remem- bered that the desire to compete— to measure strength and skill with his fellows, is just as natural for a healthy, virile young man as to cat and to love, mate, and marry. Ath- letics is also just as proper as loving, eating, and marrying, though it too may be carried to excess. However, moderation, not abolition, is the true solution to all these problems. We then turn to the problem of athletics at Augsburg College. Of late years Augsburg has yielded to the just demands of the young men of our student body and churches and has taken some steps to meet the present day demands in the field of athletics. We have con- ducted regular gym classes for academy students and college freshmen for many years. Each year a group of enthusiasts have built up a gym team, most of whose leaders have entered the ranks of the ministry or have taken up some other useful field of service. Augsburg has also for the past twenty years been represented by a basket-ball team annually. We have, until a year ago, limited our competition to relatively small and unknown institutions in the twin cities. Last season, however, we spread our wings a bit and entered the State College Conference in basket-ball. Augsburg lost more games than she won, but succeeded in getting her name l c- forc the public. During the past season Augsburg improved her showing and made herself known to tens of thousands of young people who had never heard of her before. She may confidently expect to find many of these enrolled among her student body in the ensuing year. Athletic Director (Trophy Winner 1926 Honor to Whom Honor is Due Oswald Andrew Oudai. Honok Athlbtr 1926 There adheres a distinct honor to the appelation, an all around man. In this time of keen competition in all fields, it is only the unusual man who can achieve honor in other fields than his specialty. Such a man gives promise of being able to attain to comfort and prosperity in maturer life. This year the honor of having his name engraved upon the Class of 1925 Athletic Cup, symbolical of the highest excellence in character, scholarship and athletic prowess, was given to Oswald Oudai, captain of the 1926 Basketball and Baseball teams. The honor could not have been bestowed upon one more worthy. Oswald Oudai has long been known at Augsburg as an outstanding athlete. While still in the academy, he gave promise of a brilliant athletic career. Upon entering college, lie immediately found a place on the Basketball team. His keen eye and un- canny ability to dribble through the opposition, assured him a permanent place. His team mates honored him by awarding him the captaincy. The news writers compli- mented him on his clever playing. His supreme triumph was reached when he was awarded a place on the All State team of 1926. But not only on the physical side has he achieved success. “Ossie has always been an industrious student. Notwithstanding the fact that he has given a great deal of time to his training, he has maintained a high average in his scholastic work. It must have been quite a comfort to Ossie to enter the various games, knowing that his academic work was always above par. In addition to these meritorious qualities, Oswald has always been found to be a real gentleman. He has been a constant member of Professor Melby's Bible Class at Trinity Church. Ossie has one more year of athletic competition before him. The student body is unanimous in wishing him success, comfort, and prosperity throughout the remainder of his school career and in later life. nC -megemr :qp M. Larson Mbuy (Coath) O.

College basketball Season 1924-25 In the realm of athletics Augsburg took a decided leap for the better when they gained admission into the Minnesota College Conference during the year 1924-25. Under the direction of Professor Melby, the basketball teams have been gaining more prominence every year and it was through his influence especially that Augsburg entered the State Conference. With a team composed of veterans and having had practically no experience in College basketball, Augsburg acquitted themselves well, as it was their first year in the race. The Colleges which Augsburg competed with have always had high class teams, and as such Augsburg could not expect to win a majority of their games. By upsetting the dope'' in the first contest of the season Augsburg took their Nor- wegian rivals, St. Olaf, into camp by the score of 28 to 20. After fhat game Augsburg lost a number of contests. They were always able to be on a par with their opponents in the first half but they seemed to lack the stamina to hold their own in the second half of the game. Then in the latter part of the season, Augsburg enjoyed a tussle with Macalestcr and beat them. In spite of the fact that they won only two games and lost nine their first year in the race was a success. With a veteran team and one year of experience in the race Augsburg made an excellent record the following year. i N.Nrmon Michablson{Trainer') M. Larson Mklby(fioaeH) O. Daiilaobk HofstadQMaiia ir) Horr Srvbrson Gvnii.d Wbstby Tapac.hr Crosh Oooal (Captui� ) College Basketball Season 1925-26 In the history of athletics at Augsburg no basketball team has gained so many friends, so much publicity, such a high rating in basketball circles, as the 1925-26 team has. It has made itself known throughout the whole Northwest more than any other organization here at school. One basketball coach in the conference said that during the last season the name Augsburg has become more known and more talked about in this pare of the country than any other school in the conference. Sportmanship is one attribute a team should have in its repertoire. The Auggics” have become noted for their clean playing and sportsmanlike attitude in all their games. The local newspapermen who have given a great deal of space in their columns to athletics here at Augsburg have commented on Augsburg's sportman- ship. If there is anything which gains a great many friends for a group of players it is clean playing. To Professor Mclby should go a great deal of credit for the team's success. He it is who coaches and guides the squad throughout the season. Those who have any knowledge of the subject of basketball will know what a job it is to be at the head of a group of players. Coach Mclby gives a great deal of his time in order to help the team and the school. Practically every afternoon from the middle part of October to the latter part of February is spent in the gymnasium with the players. Besides being a man of athletic ability, he is above all a man of Christian principles. The players of the team should he and arc thankful that they have a Christian man as their coach. With a veteran team back in the fold and a few new men ready to give their ser- vices, the Augsburg squad tackled the most difficult season they have ever had. With one year's experience standing them in good stead, the team had a great deal more confidence in themselves than they had the previous year. In order to be in the running for the college championship, a school has to have eight games scheduled with other schools in the conference. Augsburg not only had that, but they had € 4 $ two games with every institution in the league, making a total of twelve contests. When the coach called for candidates for the team, a squad of forty men responded. After a while the pruning knife was used and the squad was cut to twelve. Eight of the men won their letters and six out of the eight carried most of the burden during the whole season. The letter men are Captain Oudal and Tapager, forwards; Westby and Severson, centers; Crosc, Gynild, HofF and Nelson, guards. Without the services of Oudal, the Augsburg cagers tackled Hamlinc University in the first game of the season on the Pillsbury floor. Needless to say Augsburg lost by the score of 31 to 19. Crosc, at that time playing forward, was the star of the home team. The next game, which was played with St. John's college, marked the beginning of Augsburg's victories. Oudal, playing his first game of the year, and Westby, lanky center, were the bright lights of our team. After this game the players began to acquire the feeling that they were able to win games, and so as a matter of course, they took on Macalcstcr on their floor and returned home victors. In this contest Oudal and Crosc used their speed to a good advantage and with the help of Westby and Gynild pulled the bacon out of the fire . Then Augs- burg took on Macalcstcr again, Gustavus Adolphus, St. John's the second time, Concordia, and St. OJaf in the order named. In each case the Auggies” came out on the long end of the score and thereby were declared the winners. In the mean- time Gustavus Adolphus had been winning all their games since they were beaten by Augsburg and the time came when the two were to meet again. This game was looked upon as a championship affair and was played on the Kenwood Armory floor, in order that all the people who wished to see the contest could be accommodated. Augsburg put up a good fight but lost to their heavier and taller opponents by the score of 26 to 23. In this game the whole team played well with Ossie Oudal shining above the rest. Then, after having reached their climax in the season, the home team played Hamlinc and St. Olaf, losing to the former by the score of 31 to 19 and to the latter 32 to 30. Besides having the team gain a reputation for itself, three of the individual members received recognition for their work during the season. Captain Oudal was a unanimous choice for All State forward. Crosc was an All State man on one team and landed second team berths on practically all the rest. Westby, center, received honorable mention from several. Although it was a disappointment to many that Augsburg did not win the championship when the chances were looking so bright, it can be very easily said that the past season was a huge success. For next year's team there will be one member who will not answer the coach's call. That player is Arne Gynild, who graduates this year. Therefore, if the coach can find a good standing guard to fill the vacant place, the Augsburg basketball team of the 1926-27 school year, with the supjxjrt of its friends, should again have something to say as to who is going to win the championship.

Because a special instructor in the person of Mr. Skurdalsvold has been secured to take full charge of the “gym work, a new interest has been created among the gym team members. Mr. Skurdalsvold is a Class A man from the 1924 championship gym team of the University of Minnesota. Through his efforts the gym team has reached a very high standard. The purchasing of new suits has also been a stride forward. Apparently the school recognized the fact that the team had attained to a position whicn entitled them to regular gym team suits. On March 13th the Gym Team journeyed to the University of Minnesota, where it competed in the Northwestern Gym Meet. -The team members had practiced diligently and represented the school very well. The Gym Team gave its annual spring exhibition on March 27th in the Augsburg gym . The Augsburg gymnasts performed exceptionally well. With remarkable ease and grace they manifested their acrobatic abilities. Coach Skurdalsvold, together with two professional tumblers, Farnham and Thorson, assisted the team in the ex- hibition. Their seemingly impossible feats thrilled the audience. The exhibition was a grand success. Still greater advancement in this line of athletics is expected at Augsburg in future years. It is hoped that a championship ('.lass A team may be developed.

However, basket-ball is not only to seek for victories. These laurels are always welcome whenever they may be obtained, but the spirit of being able to take a defeat and still feel the same towards your opponent is indeed a higher achievement. The Academites started their training for the ninctcen-twcnty-six season with but one of last year's men back in the squad. This was one of the greatest handicaps, and most of the players had to be developed from inexperienced men. However, through the efficient coaching of Hanson and Jcrstad these men progressed won- derfully. On January twelfth the conference battles opened with Augsburg meeting Minne- haha Academy on the latter's floor. The game was marred by poor passing and little team-work. As the gun sounded the score stood 21-9 in Augsburg’s favor.

This is as it should be. We believe our problem in physical education is to conserve and promote health through systematic motor activity. Because of this motive, such recreational activities arc offered as will tend towards this goal. Basket Ball was the main feature of the work carried on during the First Quarter, although games suited to the school-room and gymnasium were played in the regular floor-work classes in physical education. The Second Quarter was given over to practice for the Frce-Throw Tournament, but since the National Contest was scheduled early in the quarter, we were greatly handicapped by lack of time in preparation. However, the following girls, who secured tne highest scores in this tournament, constituted the Frec-Throw Team to represent Augsburg in the National Frec-Throw Tournament. Mildred Tollcfson (Captain), Bertha Johanson, Signc Ekness, Ragnild Larson, Clara Tollcfson. Bertha Johanson, caging fortv-five out of a possible score of sixty, won first place in the Local Contest, while Mildred Tollefson secured second honors. In the National Tournament a telegraphic contest centered at Charleston, S. C. Bertha Johanson was given sixth place, the champion out-shining her by only five points. The Augsburg Team made fourth place in the National Contest, with a score of 169 against 209 points made by the Champion Team. Miss Johanson was awarded a Bronze Medal for sixth place on Friday, March 12 at the Annual Basket-ball Banquet. The Third Quarter will be devoted to various outdoor games—tennis, kitten ball, volley ball tournaments being held and champions declared. Seniors in Favorite cPoses % Ed” Myhre Ed has a good voice.

Not | so many years ago knowledge was dependent upon personal ex- periences and hearsay. The printed word was unknown except 3 to the scholarly monks and to the very rich. The dissemination of information was a slow and laborious process. | i The rapid and tremendous spread of knowledge can be said to i date from the time of Gutenberg, the inventor of movable type. i Where it had formerly required months to copy a book or a man- i uscript, hundreds were printed in a day. The printed word was immediately available to everyone. 1 Today, what an appeal there is to the printed word! Books, « magazines and newspapers cover the nation and arc within easy reach of all. Any event, new thought or new discovery is brought to the attention of everyone by the printed word. Without it— helplessness! With it—the joys of knowing things new, of reading 3 things old. ; The appeal of the printed word for any type of printing is enhanced by Style—the design, taste and workmanship of the printer. ' Style gives to a printed piece its distinctive personality. When the Jensen Printing Company produces your printing, style is a ] part of the finished product.
