This is the rich heritage Which our col- lege bestows upon her youth. 4: To Dr. Bernhard Marinus Christensen, as one who exemplifies the spirit of advancing youth, this book is dedicated.

And if the melody of song May hearts to rapture raise, Let Augsburg where it now doth stand And Augsburg in our love, Resound in songs on ev'ry hand, ln thanks to Him above. II. We sing of those of former days, IfVith thankful hearts we sing, Because they wrought in wondrous ways The love of God to bring, To bring His love and wisdom clown To ev'rg seeking soul. In joyful praise let music sound And up to heaven roll. III. We sing of all who now belong To Augsburg's brotherhood: May they stand always firm and strong Where those before them stood: Let Augsburg still in strength remain, When we our way have trod: Let sound for aye the joyous strain Of thankful praise to God. 1 , -Ii BI'-m:'f i?

Greece, with her love for democracy ROlVl the majestic organization of the Roman and self-government, has bequeathed to us the ideal of individual freedom. Neither of these was sufficient in itself and thence came the downfall and The glory that was Greece And the grandeur that was Rome have become mere echoes of a dramatic past. It is insuflicient to say that our Administration at Augsburg seeks to be a reflection of either of these ideals alone. Rather, it is a blending of the best element in each with the high heritage of Christian leadership. At its helm we have our esteemed presi- dent seeking always to guide the course of true education. Working with him are instructors and administrators conscientiously striving to prepare the individual student to meet the needs of life where both law and freedom play their part. 1 X r w w A 'r A K , I PRESIDENT GEORGE SVERDRUP iii - Z I' P.

O spake Christ concerning the power of His salvation. That was a long time ago, but the same power is still made manifest in our midst. The truths of the Gospel are ever new, and the call to serve Him in His kingdom comes to each succeeding generation with the same strength. It was this call that caused our class to enter the Theological Department of Augsburg in the fall of 1930, with the purpose in view of preparing ourselves for the ministry in the Christian church, which is Christ's representative here on earth. We believe in the divine assurance, Lo I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. It is from Him alone that we can receive the strength to continue in this work. Many would tell us that it is a wasted life. We cannot agree, but even if it were so, should we not be willing to give up something for the privilege of working for the greatest of all causes? Christ gave His all. Have we anything which is worth more to us than this was to Christ? l30l Lnngsjocn, K. Hagen, Run. Bueidc, E. Peterson. A. Leland M. Sand. N. Anderson. Hcrmunslic, Lyngdal JUNIOR THEOLOGY Ye shall be my witnesses. I-IE witness for Christ cannot be a disinterested person. That is impossible. Christ commissions as His ambassador him who yields his life and will to the Masters Thus he becomes more than a witness, for he has been a party to an action, the profoundest, the most far-reaching, and withal the most blessed and soul-satisfying experience that man can have-that of opening his own heart's door to the living Christ. God dwelling in man! There can be no grander, no more awful experience. Through God's grace it has become our privilege as a junior class to begin the study and preparation of ourselves in a special way as witnesses for Him. May He also grant us grace to continue steadfastly in this glorious endeavor. l3ll 1931 SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS ERLING CHRISTIANSON - - - President KARL DAHLAGER - - - Vice-President KATHARINE SVERDRUP - - Secfel-ary Orro RORTVEDT - - - Treagllrer RUTH HAGEN SCHOLARSHIP, 193 1 1-IE Senior Class of 1927 presented to the school a silver loving-cup upon which the name of the person with the highest scholastic average for each of the consecutive graduating classes was to be engraved.

Q N an age of eager search for truth, scholars with H 6 a common desire for knowledge organized the ,7' . . . 4 earliest universities. ji? As these institutions grew in size, smaller units. having unilied ideals and purposes, were formed within the universities. Societies such as these have been the training- school for men like Webster, masters in their chosen fields, and hundreds of others who in smaller spheres have wielded influence for good through their daily associations with one another. Our own organizations, like the earlier 'Astudent republics exist for the purpose of more effectively furthering common interests and attaining common goals. H4 HS ,gag .Qi PUBLICATIONS LITERARY ADMINISTRATIVE MUSIC FORENSICS MISCELLANEOUS EXTRA-CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES WDC? NE hears a great deal about extra-curricular activities and their supposed interference with the education of the student, Although there are pos- sibilities that harm may result from misuse of them, it is quite clear that the advantage lies with the activities. The argument is commonly heard that the outside activities take up too much of the student's time to permit him to do his class work properly. It can be admitted that in some cases, this is true. but they are the exceptions. A person may fail to prepare an occasional lesson, or even a series of lessons. because of outside work, but usually this disadvantage is overcome by greater alertness and application. Surveys have been conducted by authentic authorities in education to determine the effect of the activities upon classwork. The suprising fact has been proved, that in average cases the grades were high or low in direct proportion to the number of outside activities the student was engaged in. This is because it is the energetic person with great capacity and enthusiasm that undertakes the extra work. The sluggard is useless in or out of class. The primary purpose of any school is instruction and training, and it would be ridiculous to suppose that one should belittle the importance of classroom Work, with high standards of attendance, preparation, and results. The point is that the student will gain, in addition, general knowledge, ex- perience, and background outside of class that will stand him in good stead when he meets occasions and situations. This should not be over-emphasized, but it should by no means be neglected. Here at Augsburg We have considerable opportunity for outside activities, some developed and some undeveloped. Let us make a plea for greater participa- tion by the students, each in his own chosen Held, athletics, music, literature, journalism, class activities, forensics, or whatever it may be. If these and others are properly developed, they will add greatly to the versatility and general ability of our students and graduates. It would be a good thing if the graduates and alumni would use their influence to build up enthusiasm in prospective students concerning the possibilities of rich and varied experience at school, and so encourage the development of this important part of student life.

Whether it progresses or recedes can be seen in its printed pages and the way in which they are received. At Augsburg the Dial was started in order that the school might have a literary magazine which the students could call their own. Two issues of the Dial were published, one appearing in the fall and the other in the spring of the school year: each consisting of twenty pages, the contents being short stories, essays, poems, and literary forms of similar nature. The Dial is supported by the members of the literary organizations and subscriptions secured from the other students. The publishing staff is selected from members of the various literary societies and clubs. The need of a maga- zine such as this was keenly felt, and the literary minded were awake to the conditions. For this reason the literary organizations added this duty to their functions, and the literary magazine became a reality.

Several important changes were made in the magazine. Instead of issuing two a year as was formerly done, one containing many more articles will take their place. The form and size of type are different than in preceding numbers. The cover design is new. In the contents there is greater variety and at the same time more uniformity. A few articles written by students of former years are being included. lt is generally agreed that there has been a decided upward swing in the intellectual life at Augsburg, and a literary magazine provides an excellent outlet for the new forces of thought and life participated in by our students.

Con- temporary periodicals cast little light on the earliest history of the club, except that it was founded in the fall of 1922 and shortly 'afterwards received its name. The two most active organizers were J. P. Langsjoen and Iver Lind. The members of the club have always had as their main purpose the development of the gift of literary expression, but they have never lost sight of the fact that behind expression there must be inspiration. The meetings are devoted to an interchange of ideas and experiences as well as to a formal criticism of the manuscripts submitted. This year the Writers' Club has taken over the complete responsibility of publishing The Dial, the literary magazine of Augsburg. l69l Back Row-Sveom. C. Gjerclc, Nygaard, I-laug. E.

Its purpose is, through the maintenance of a press service, to further the inter- ests of Augsburg College by advertising it in every desirable manner. Thus the Press Club helps Augsburg to receive a great amount of publicity. Membership in the Press Club is open to all college students who have had training in journalistic work or who are eficient typists. The membership at no time, however, is to exceed twelve. An adviser is chosen from the English department, in cooperation with whom the club works. Monday evening is set aside for the meeting of the club. Then the news is prepared for publication. Special emphasis is placed on articles relating to Augsburg and its students, and special efforts are made to have them printed in the papers of the towns and cities which are here represented by students. l72l Back Row-H.

There is no regular mem- bership fee, but each student is expected to contribute his share towards the year's expenditures. The society aims at cooperation in every respect.

P. Opseth. Although its membership is limited, most of the girls have little difliculty in finding a place in this organization. Every year this group makes a tour to visit the various congregations to acquaint them with the school which they support and with the type of students to be found there, The itinerary for the tour in the spring of 1931 included the following congregations in Minnesota: Sacred Heart, Montevideo, Canby, Hendricks, Minneota, Milroy, Lamberton, Windom, Madelia, Ellendale, and Rochester. In South Dakota the Choral Society gave concerts in the Grenville, Waubay and New Effington churches. 1801 Back Row--lilackhurst, Amundsmi, Blake, Lillehei. Nilsen.

During the seven years of its existence, this organization has established itself as one of the most stable groups at Augsburg. Each year a chorus of at least twenty voices has made an extensive tour of the northwest, thus bringing an Augsburg message to audiences who otherwise could not be reached. , This year has been as successful as any of the past. Two tours were made, one as far as Chicago and other places en route, and one including Duluth. Besides the regular numbers of the Choral Society, the program included vocal solos by Miss Jennie Skurdalsvold and a piano solo by Katharine Sverdrup. The program consists of a varied number of secular and religious selections. The following is the complete itinerary: April -Northfield, Minnesota April 10-LaCrosse, Wisconsin April -Wanamingo, Minnesota April 17-Duluth, Minnesota April -Blanchardville, Wisconsin April 18-Ashland, Wisconsin April -Argyle, Wisconsin April 19-Moose Lake, Minnesota April -Rockford, Illinois April 20-Brainerd, Minnesota April -Chicago, Illinois l81l Back Row-Osicrhus, O.

The best of sacred hymns, and a few other classical master- pieces of a secular nature have made up the organizations concert repertoire. Thus the Glee Club has had a part in bringing the Gospel in song to a large number of people in the Northwest. Fourteen congregations of the Lutheran Free Church located in northwestern Wisconsin and central Minnesota were visited on the 1931 concert tour. The Cxlee Club is composed of twenty singers and is directed by Professor Henry P. Opseth, the head of the Department of Music at Augsburg since 1922. Markus Halling was the vocal soloist and Howard Halvorsen served as accompanist and piano soloist on the tour. 1821 Back RowfRisIov, Holman. Osrcrhus, P. Morgan, Monselh. R.

The Glee Club is the oldest and most Widely known of the musical organizations of the school. Its purpose is to spread the Gospel by means of sacred songs, and to develop an appreciation for good music which is the soul-art of the world. Music has the power of deeply touching the chords of life, and to use it for such a cause is very decidedly a worthy purpose. Although the Glee Club made no concert tour this year, it had occasion to sing at several school and church functions in and outside of the city. Credit is due to Prof. Opseth whoseleadership and ability to train voices for chorus work is of the best. l83l Back Row-Vogt, Johnson. Morgan, Hnlling. Oren, Estncss. Lee Front Row-E.

It consists of students who are interested in music and who wish to develop further their interest and ability in musical lines. At each meeting there are general discussions to which each member can contribute, and special reports about musicians are given at each meeting by some one who is chosen by the program committee. Outside musicians are frequently invited to the meetings of the club and share their musical talents with the group. Thus the student comes in contact with many different musicians that he would otherwise be unable to meet. The members themselves contribute some musical number each time. Through these meetings we learn to appreciate more fully the composers and their work. l84l Back Row--R. Lillchci. Sorkncss. Nilsen. Larson. Estness, Sntcrcn Ccnicr Row-Haugc, Blnckhurst. Loc. S.

It was founded two years ago, and since then has developed into one of the active musical societies at school. A change of leaders in the midst of the season did not daunt its members, who continued under the new leader with as much zeal and enthusiasm as before. Fritz Morgan was responsible for the success of the band during the second half of the year. The athletic teams were never more certain of victory than when the musical strains of our own Augsburg Song reached their ears, and they were never more inspired to action than when the pep band led the cheering section in singing. Wherever the teams journeyed, the pep band, in its colorful array of maroon and white, traveled with them. High aspirations are held for the organization in the future. Its usefulness amply Justiiies its existence. l86l F. Morgan H. Johnson E. Estness THE AUGSBURG TRIO THE Augsburg Trio is a new organization at Augsburg.

These six teams, composed of two members each, were divided into three afHrmative and three negative groups, the two women debaters composing one of the negative teams. The verbal tirades of the college logicians this year, were directed for or against this subject: 'Resolved, that Congress enact legislation providing for the centralized control of industry, constitutionality waived.

' l93l ATHLETICS games --Wrote Pindar, Boeotian poet of the fifth century. R and wide shineth the glory of the Olympian 5 ln the shadow of the Acropolis this sport-loving people lived and developed a philosophy of living that has carried down the ages to this present day. They discovered the secret of the perfect man, un- divorced intellect and muscle, and they honored the beauty of trained bodies, of strength and grace, in a devotional spirit, and dedicated them to the service of heaven. ' Athleticism among the modems can and should relate intellect and muscle to the spiritual aspect of life. Augsburg, too, has long striven toward this ideal and today is nearer to its realization than ever before. Her athletic department offers, besides minor interests, the three major sports, basketball, football and baseball. w H 5 w n ' FOOTBALL BASKETBALL MINOR SPORTS E. A.

His teams have displayed an unusual ability for upsetting the dope. With this year's team remaining almost intact and with the return of the old victory sweater, we are looking forward to next year with championship hopes. Coach J. S. Melby The 1930-31 team, featuring a quintet of flashy seniors backed by a num- ber of ambitious and hard-working understudies, played a sterling brand of basketball. Starting in a mediocre fashion, a team that won third place in the conference was developed. Luther Mona, the second-high scorer in the con- ference, was given a place on the second all-state team, as was Captain Rort- vedt, who played a Anice game throughout the season. Five men were lost through graduation, leaving only Kolesar as the veteran nucleus of next year's team. . The 1931-32 team was handicapped by the inexperience of its men. The first part of the season showed the effect of this inexperience. However, before the season was over, they were showing occasional flashes of championship form, making the chances for a first-class team very good for the coming year. Characteristic of this year's squad is the high scholastic standard which the members have kept up. The average of the squad was B, so Si has not had any worries over ineligibility. flO71 . lr. .Y X 4 Q53 Back Row-Jacobson. l' Q lm . Nlidraune, Bauhaus.

This year approximately eighty men took part in this form of athletics. Interclass play was divided into two rounds. The Winners of each round took part in a three-game play-off for the championship. For the first time in intramural sports at Augsburg, the freshmen won the basketball championship. To capture the title was no easy task as rivalry was generally at a fever pitch. The freshmen went through the first round unde- feated, upsetting the former champions, the seniors, in a bitterly fought bat- tle. ln the second round they were defeated twice, but came through, after three overtime periods to win the championship. ln recognition of this, their name will be engraved on the class basketball trophy. 11171 Back Ro-4111.

Oren, Sundal ACADEMY BASKETBALL, 193 l THE Academy Basketball Team showed considerable improvement over the previous year. There was a great deal of new material, but through the able coaching of Mugs Skurdalsvold, the team had a successful season con- sidering the size and experience of the men. Captain Erling Iverson was one of the mainstays of the team. He played a forward position and always proved to be a scoring threat. The other players showed a great spirit of co-operation and played the game hard at all times. The Augsburg Midgets competed in the Twin City Academic League with the following academies: Bethel, Minnehaha, St. Paul Luther, and Con- cordia. Although the number of games won was not so favorable for the Auggies, the players gained a great deal of playing experience which will aid them in future competition. fll8l Back Row-l'l.1gstnd CCoachj. l.

At the first call for practice, only four men reported. Several more men showed up later so a team could be put into competition with other academies in the Twin Cities. The coaching of the team Was taken care of by Norman Flagstad, a Senior in college. He developed a formidable team that displayed a great nghting spirit. Harold Shurson, a guard, was the high scorer of the squad. He is the only senior on the team that will be lost by graduation. The players returning are Ernest Anderson, Justin Oudal, Arnold Sundahl, Willard Walstead, lngvar Anderson. Wilbert Blake, Lester Johnson. 11191 CAMPUS LIFE .T Harvard, our earliest American college, were ' first developed the rudiments of campus life. Although Harvard, in turn, received this heri- 7 tage from Oxford and Cambridge, the true campus is a specilically American element. Our first colleges, being more rich in land than in build- ings, showed their fondness for classic terminology by adopting the Latin name. Life on the campus is rendered more complete and enjoyable by the varied social contacts and the constant sharing of ideas and experiences, whether these be of a profound or merely an entertaining nature. Typical, then, of the college boy is Oliver Wendell Holmes, America's greatest conversational- ist. Both as a student and, later, as a professor at Harvard, he was noted for his stimulating, fresh, and Witty conversation. At Augsburg, too, campus life affords an unfail- ing source of enjoyment and inspiration. As a result of this continual association on the campus, a strong sentiment of loyalty and love to our Alma Mater and her cause becomes deeply rooted in our hearts.
