Institutions flour- ishj institutions decline. But whether they live, die, flourish, or decline is solely dependent upon the aims, ideals, and motives which actuate their existence- the very foundation upon which each stands. Built upon the granite of Faith, in service to God, Augsburg lives and is destined to flourish. To Greater Augsburg, and to Miss Ragna Sverdrup who has cheerfully and adequately devoted so much of her life to the actual building on this foundation, this book is dedicated. r ,V xx WN' V '.

Aus THE AUGSBURG CORPORATION 'K NY person who is a member in good standing of a Norwegian Lutheran Church in the United States of America can become a member of the Augsburg Corporation by being elected as such member by a majority vote of the then members of the corpora- tion. Clixcerpt from the Articles of Corporationj Members are elected for a life term and become inactive only in case of death, incapacity to act, or in case ot non-attendance at three consecutive meetings. The Augsburg Corporation usually consists of thirty members, and meets at least once a year. Its purpose is to plan the operation of Augsburg Seminary and College, to provide training and education for young men interested in Theology and for young men and women seeking a Christian college education. l O, O.

GEORGE SVERDRUP President The President's Message TOMORROW OPE and conviction have ripened into determination as this AUGSBURGIAN goes forth. For many years the students and faculty have hoped and persisted in hoping that the day would come when a new building at Augsburg would be a realization. All the friends of the school have cherished that hope. The need has become so urgent that what so long has been a dream has resulted in a conviction that something must be done soon. There is at the present time no difference of opinion about the necessity of securing more fitting surroundings in which to carry on the great work of Augsburg. The only response to the question raised by the weather- worn dormitories is You surely need a new dormitory. If you will listen carefully with an ear appreciative for all that these old buildings have meant in the past you will hear them say, Have we not faithfully done our duty and served you well? Is it not fair to release us now so that younger and stronger servants may take over our task and carry it on? Our spirit will gladly support the sacrifice necessary to provide you with what will serve you better than we have been able to do. It is now more than thirty years since any forward move in building has been made at Augsburg. That fact lends strength to the conviction that the time is here to take such a real step. The past history has shown an abiding faith in the work that has been done as worth the effort. That faith has conquered many a diliicult time. It is a faith which has carried through from year to year and now has grown into a faith in the future of its own work. The past is alive in the present and has no doubt about the future. The same spirit abides and upon it Augsburg builds its hope and its conviction and also its deter- mination. To be sure this is a determination about the equipment required to meet the needs of our work. But there would be little strength in the determination which is rapidly taking form if it were not for the assurance that that for which Augsburg has consistently stood is an abiding reality in life. For this reason we feel that we are on the road Augsburg has been given to tread. The road which Augsburg has trod! A road with direction and purpose. A road on which men travel, but it is also a road laid out by the Lord. A determination which rests upon fidelity to the past carries into the future. Our fathers built on the vision given them of the Kingdom of Christ as that is meant for the children of men. The Augsburg of today has no other wish than to serve our Lord Iesus Christ as faithfully as our fathers in their day served Him. fm? 1 JAJAM f President H. N.

Miss Sverdrup, with Miss Dahl, is in charge of the Treasurer's Oflice, center of student-college financial relationships. Miss Ingebredtsen is secretary to the President, and Miss Hulbert acts as secretary to the Registrar. Mrs. Quanbeck, with Mrs. Tangvald, is engaged in directing the policies of the Augsburg Dining I-Iall which, as the name implies, is the college cafeteria. The matron, Mrs. Torvik, is in charge of the dormitories, and does much to add that touch of home to life on the Augsburg campus. CLASSES 'x THEOLOGY COLLEGE UGSBURG SEMINARY is the training school for pastors and missionaries of the Lutheran Free Church. Augsburg College aims to give a four-year college course as the foundation for theological study. Along with this, Augsburg College offers training to young people who wish to prepare themselves for graduate vvork in certain specified lines and also offers prep- aration for high school teaching. Finally, it provides general college education for such as do not Wish to enter any of the above mentioned professions. This Work is all done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with this distinct understanding that the Christian Spirit is determining in all things. They are asked to cooperate willingly in the pro- gram of the school towards this end. The entire program, curricular and extra-curricular, and the discipline thought Wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim to see all things through the eyes of Christ. FRITIOF MONSETH, ERNEST RA.-XUM, IVER OLSON LUTHARD GHERDE 1936 TI-IEOLOGY ND they went forth and preached everywhere. Such was Mark's description of the activities of the eleven disciples after Christ was taken up into heaven. We like to think of those Hrst Christians as indomitable pioneers, making great sacrifices for the Gospel. And so they were but today, too, we have pioneers for Christ,', who, thinking only of His supreme sacrihce, willingly go forth to win souls for Him who gave all to mankind. The four graduates of the Theological department in 1936 were called in many directions for service. Luthard Gjerde, who served Bethel Congregation in Northfield, Minnesota, whilefpursuing his studies, was called to Rugby, N. D. Ernest Raum was called to serve a congregation fn Bella Coola, British Columbia. Iver Olson, who was pastor at Oak Grove Congregation in Augsburg Park while a Theological student, is now teaching'at Oak Grove Seminary, Fargo, N. D. Fritjof Monseth is serving a congre- gation in the Bronx, New York City. -R Stzmrlingz Wilfred Lien, lilnar Olsen Sealed: Ricliartl Knudsun, George Amundxon, Freeman Svcom, Kenneth Anderson 193 7 THEOLOGY T IS in response to a very special call from God that the young men in the 1937 Theological class are entering the Christian ministry this year. For God as truly calls men today as when He chose Simon Peter and Andrew to be His disciples, commanding them to be fishers of men. A very urgent need for witnesses of God's power exists today, and in response to this need these young men have carefully prepared themselves for the service. It is truly a privilege to be thus summoned to serve as Godys special ambassadors in a World so full of spiritual need. The members of this class are already active in His service, some as student pastors, others as assistant pastors, and others as Sunday school teachers. 'I X.

This organization is the Student Societyn of the Seminary for, al- though the Theological students are members of the Student Society, their own organiza- tion enables them to promote the special interests of their department. Meetings are held every Thursday and on the second Monday evenings of each month. The fourth hour every Wednesday is set aside for a period of devotion and prayer. The topics for discussion at their meetings deal with vital Church problems, and the strength- ening of the spiritual life of its members. From time to time, prominent Theologians are invited to speak on vital problems of the day. The spirit which governs the Society is implied by its name, there is a Nconcordiau among all its members. .KM CLASS OF '36 IOHN STENSVAAG SPEAKER . . . SCI-IOLAR OHN STENSVAAG, valedictorian and class speaker, was the outstanding man ot the Class of '36, His remarkable record is even more impressive than this double honor would indicate, due to the fact that he completed his college work in three years, and, in doing so, attained the highest scholastic average on record at Augsburg for the past ten years. In his commencement address, Facing Life Mr. Stensvaag pointed to materialism as the greatest curse of our age. His closing words were: The meaning of life lies in the moral conflict, but our hope for victory is in Christ Iesus. It is He alone who can set us free from the bonds of the material. He, only, can sustain us in the struggle for righteousness. Be of good cheer, then, my classmates. Face the world with a smile. For the Lord of Hosts is with us. And if He is our Friend and Guide, then these portals through which we are passing tonight shall not prove an entrance into a life of useless struggles and ultimate despair, but shall rather be a new beginning on that divinely planned course which leads through joy and sorrow to a victory which is eternalf' ug SENIORS---'36 SIGNE BIZRG ....

CLASS OF '37 WARREN QUANBECK FORREST MoNsoN SCHOLAR SPEAKER HE highest scholastic average in the graduating class of 1937 was attained by Warreii Quanbeck, scholar and leader of the highest caliber. Mr. Quanbeck has also been very active in publications and other extra-curricular endeavors, and has established for himself an enviable and highly commendable record. The class of '37 chose Forrest Monson as its representative speaker at the commence- ment exercises. Mr. Monson chose as his topic, Modern Pioneers. In his speech he pointed out that in the complexity of modern life there will always be frontiers, hence there will always be pioneers, and the significance between our place in life and modern frontiers lies in the truth that We possess and the freedom that it gives in a life that is lived, touching all. As liberated human beings living in this truth, We are not to look back at the furrows plowed before our day. If we did so, we would not be worthy to place our hands upon the plow. The Christian life is ever a new adventure, a moving power. It is because of this growth kept fresh by the living water that the Church, and we as a part of it, have a mission with the Gospel. .EA 2i'P2f. SENIORS---'3 7 ERNEST ANDERSON . . .

Under competent leadership it has contributed much toward the consummation of a successful school year.

The invaluable services rendered by them in circulation andqmake-up work is regarded with the highest esteem and gratitude, and the Augsburgian heads-of-staff join in hearty commendation of their efforts. Freshmen are also active in the publication of the Echo and Dial, contributing valuable service to both. And, according to all present indications, in View of the talent for publi- cation work already displayed by Freshmen, publications at Augsburg are soon to embark upon a golden age of excellence.

In its scope, the Echo contains current topics of school interest, editorials, Gospel challenges, alumni news as well as write-ups on forensic, music, and athletic activities. Its purpose is to stimulate school spirit, to act as an indirect spur to extra-curricular activities, and to encourage a high standard of scholarship. The Echo also gives a special opportunity to those who have journalistic interests, enabling them to gain actual experience in editorial and make-up work. The editor, managing editor, business manager, and circulation manager for the 1936 Echo were Forrest Monson, Warren Quanbeck, Conrad Iergenson, and Lawrence Gucl- mestad, respectively, Officers for the 1937 Echo are Ioel Torstenson, Forrest Monson, Lawrence Gudmestad, and Donald Holm.

The club is designed to enable those students deeply interested in literature to go further into the field than the regular courses permit. Special attention is given to the cultivation of each member's talent of self-expression, and each is a regular contributor to the organizations publication, The Dial. The Dial is a literary magazine composed of original essays, short stories, and poems contributed by the club members, members of the faculty, alumni, and other students. It is a publication of which Augsburg is proud, and, as the years go by, its release is looked forward to with ever-increasing anticipation. Top Row: Ilulm, Nikkvlwn. Anne, S.

Founded for the purpose of broadening its members' literary perspective the club has been actively engaged throughout the period of its existence. Freshmen and Sophomores attaining a HB average in their studies and recommended by an English instructor are eligible for membership. Discussion of contemporary authors and poets is carried on at the meetings with the idea in mind of acquainting the members more intimately with the literature and poetry of the present day. A great deal of meritorious achievement is attributable to the Round Table and the club has proven itself to be a valuable extra-curricular organization for those interested in literary study.

Paulson, G, Halverson THE MUSIC CLUB LTI-TOUGH the Music Club has been in existence for several years, it Was, together with the other musical organizations at Augsburg, given new impetus during the past year. New interest manifested by its members in its activities has led to a pronounced evidence of progress and achievement. The Music Club was originally organized to give the students who are musically interested an opportunity to develop and foster this interest. This year the Music Club was reorganized and several meetings were held at which the advisability of sponsoring an annual music festival was discussed. Well known musicians are invited to attend the meetings of the Music Club, and, so far as is possible, the club endeavors to secure musical talent to appear before the assembled students. The existence of such an organization should do much to make the Augsburg students more appreciative of the great opportunities at the disposal of every student.

The proposition for this year was: Resolved: That Congress should be empowered to enact minimum wage and maximum hour laws. The teams manifested much interest in the question which made for an intense and interesting debate season. Under the guidance of Iohn Acker, the teams participated in practice debates with St. Thomas College, Hamline University, and River Falls State Teachers College before going to the tournament at Concordia College. The teams also participated in the North- western Invitational Tournament at St. Thomas College. The squad brought the active season to a close with one group going to Franklin, Ind., to participate in an invitational tournament at Franklin College, and another group took part in a tournament at River Falls, Wis. l l GORDON PETERSON BRUCE IOHNSON ORATORY , HE silver cup, presented by the Class of 1918, and upon which is inscribed the name 1 of each year's winner of the annual oratorical contest, has done much to promote interest in college oratory. A large number of contestants enter the contest every year, and, after preliminary eliminations, five or six orators participate in the final contest held in the Chapel in the spring. In 1935, Gordon Peterson with his oration, War or Peace, was awarded first place in the contest. In the course of his oration, Mr. Peterson very vividly pictured the horrors f of war and its consequences, closing with a fervent appeal for peace. Bruce Iohnson ranked first in the 1936 contest with an oration entitled Education- , Its Crime. Describing many of the problems of the day, Mr. Iohnson showed how many , of them originate with the failure of our educational system to instil the proper philosophy Q of life into the hearts and minds of American young people. l Q l l 'N i Top Row: Guilnmes-lanl, Sevig, Olson, C.

Throughout these many years its purpose has been to foster interest in foreign mission Work. Meetings are held every Sunday morning, messages being brought by a student, a visiting missionary, or some other active worker. A fellowship hour is conducted every other Saturday evening at which those present can truly be said to experience the reality of the communion of saints, for the informal discussions center around topics relative to sanctil-ication and personal work. The climax of the promotion of mission interest is attained on the occasion of the Mission Festival, principal program of the Mission Society, messages are brought by mis- sionaries, exhibits are displayed and pictures from various mission fields are shown. The receipts from this program, together with contributions from members are devoted toward the support of a native worker in Madagascar. The inner mission work sponsored by the society or by the voluntary activity of its members includes regular meetings held at the Gateway Gospel Mission and at Wartburg Hospice, house visiting, and tract work.

Dahlcn THE FORENSIC CLUB N spite of the fact that for many years interest in Forensics has been high at Augsburg, no organization with the purpose of fostering this interest has existed. Due to this lack, a group of students met last fall with the intention of organizing a club, the primary function of which would be the encouragement 'and development of forensic activities. The club was organized under one head, but was divided into three departments, each department having a chairman presiding over it. The three divisions were: Debate, Oratory, and Declamation. Membership in the club is open to those who actively participate in one of the above- mentioned fields, and it is expected that the new Forensics Club will do much to foster the art of public speaking at Augsburg. Mr. Chrislock, Mr. Torstenson, Miss Larson, and Mr. Quanbeck, officers of the club, were president, vice president, secretary, and treasurer of the club respectively. The oratorical department of the Forensics Club co-operated with the IRC and the Student Society in arranging the Peace Day program at Augsburg on May lst. Top Row: Midland, 'l'imler!1olI, Puulz, G.

Organized four years ago under the leadership of Mr. Melvin Arnold, it has steadily increased in value and popularity with those students whose interests fall within its sphere of activity. The club devotes itself to the study of both national and international affairs. The programs consist of reports on current topics of interest in the field of foreign relations by members of the club, followed by an open discussion. Guest speakers are sometimes secured, and on these occasions the meeting is open to the public. The IRC has a library of its own, donated by the Carnegie Foundation, to which several of the newest and best works in the field are added each- year. In addition, the Carnegie Foundation publishes and distributes several reports containing pertinent subject matter at bi-weekly intervals. Among the highlights in the program of the club is the annual Peace Day Program sponsored in conjunction with the Student Society on May 1. Although the membership in the IRC is small, this organization can make a great contribution to the life of the school in stimulation of student interest in the affairs of the world at large. 5' 1 . . ,' Top Row: R.

Prior to 1931, Augsburg had clubs for those interested in literature, music and the social sciences, but up to that time none existed for the student interested in the physical sciences. Thus the Aristotelian Society came into being during the 1931-1932 school year, providing extra-curricular activity tor the science-minded student. Quoting from its constitution: The purpose of this club shall be to unite those who have a common interest in scientihc knowledge and cxperimentationg so that they may develop their interest in the various branches of science and infuse some of that spirit throughout the college. During the past year the society has been active in the Held of visual education, and also succeeded in securing Dr. Harry Rimmer, lecturer to Augsburg. Membership is limited to science students who have had at least one year of science, have maintained a B average in that subject, and are recommended by Professor Fosse or Professor Nash, advisors.

The club, under the capable direc- tion of Madame Lindemann, head of the French department, has been one of the most active groups of its type on the campus since its organization. Le Cercle Francais is composed of those students who are studying, or who have studied French. The club's outstanding social event of the year is its annual Christmas party. At all meetings, the French language is spoken, a practice designed to encourage and aid the student-members in their eiforts to master the language. The programs usually include a humorous one-act French play, music by French composers, and an occasional French anecdote. Le Cercle Francais is to be congratulated on its success in the promotion of its purpose. 1 ,, .7 a we SYM Top Row: L. lohnson, P. Running, C. Peterson, S.

The purpose of the organization, therefore, is to stimulate and perpetuate interest in Norwegian art, literature, and music. Discussion of these subjects is taken up at their regular meetings, and dramatizations are presented in 'Norse by members of the club. Hikes and other social gatherings are also a part of their program. The membership of the club is open to anyone interested in Norwegian culture, and most of the members either are taking or have taken Norwegian at some time during their scholastic career. Miss Marie Kjelaas of the Norse department serves as advisor to the club. Top Row: Satcrun, M.

EMBERSHIP in the WVomen's Self Government Association is open to every woman student at Augsburg. The association is dedicated to two principles, namely: to maintain high standards of Christian conduct and to promote unity and fellowship among the women. It is on the basis of these principles that the religious, business, and social affairs of the organization are conducted. , Besides the usual four executive officers, there are several committees responsible for various phases of the associations activities. The social director arranges for various informal gatherings during the year. The Big Sister committee assigns a big sisteri' to every new woman student, and it also sponsors the Big-Little Sisters' Tea. The Reli- gious Activities committee arranges such gatherings as the weekly prayer meetings held 'throughout the school year, and in the early fall is in charge of arrangements for the impressive Candle Light Service. Miss Mortenson, dean of women, acts as faculty advisor of the group. MUSIC CHCJIR CHORUS ORCHESTRA HENRY P. OPSETH Dl'I'CL'f0I' of Music THE AUGSBURG COLLEGE CHOIR OR the Augsburg College Choir-as for Augsburg College itself-the school season 1936-1937 has been a banner year. No longer an infant organization, the Augsburg Choir, inspired by its brilliant director, Professor Henry P. Opseth, makes an appeal to a larger percentage of students than ever before. During the past school year increased interest in choral work of the type done by the choir stimulated the organization of a Second Choir and a Male Chorus. Mr. Norman Myrvik has assisted Professor Opseth in the direction of these new songster units. The sphere of activities and of contacts is also an expanding one for the choir. In past years it has taken an Annual Winter Tour, sung a number of concerts in the Twin City area, and done considerable broadcasting over CBS and NBC radio stations. That program was continued during the year 1936-1937. But in addition, extensive high school appear- ances have been made in Minneapolis and in various parts of the states, Minnesota and Wisconsin. Another new venture became possible when the National Broadcasting Company, through Miss Magnhild Fjeldheim of New York, invited the choir to present a part of the Annual Easter Broadcast that is sent to all parts of America and across the Atlantic to Norway. Selections by the Augsburg Choir for this broadcast originated at station KSTP in St. Paul, the station from which the choir had presented regular programs throughout the winter season. Miss Fjeldheim reports that she has been swamped with letters enthusiastically praising the Easter Broadcast. That program is becoming a traditional contact between America and Norway, one that is more dearly prized by people on both sides of the Atlantic as the years go by. Culminating a year of many concerts, the choir plans a tour of the West Coast in Iune. The itinerary of that tour takes the singers through Minnesota, North Dakota, Montana, Ida- ho, Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. Beginning this West-Coast Tour the day after grad- uation, the singers will travel and sing continuously until Iuly 4th. The Augsburg College Choir has for its pur- pose the most artistic presentation of the Gospel put to music. Its program is a sacred one with a sacred purpose. Music critics have continued their eloquent praise of the choir and its dynamic director. But Professor Opseth is never satished, for his ideal is perfection itself. Choir members, too, have chosen as a motto for their year's Work the following perfection standard: l What:oeucr ye do, do il heartily, As to the Lord, and not unto men.

Gordon, A. johnson, Emberson THE SECOND CHOIR HE interest shown along musical lines during this past year has been so intense and vital that several new musical organizations were founded, chief among which is the Second Choir. The real need for such a group was made plain when nearly a hundred singers turned out for the First Choir. Only about one-half of that number was selected, leaving as great a number without opportunity to give expression to their musical interest. Thus, when the idea of a second choir was broached, it was met with great enthusiasm. After preliminary organization, practice periods were scheduled and the work outlined for the year. The primary purpose of the choir is to give an opportunity to as great a number as possible to gain the enjoyment and experience which singing in such a group affords. That remains as its purpose for the future, at the same time serving as a training ground for those who seek membership in the college A Capella Choir. Durin the school ear the choir made a number of cha el a earances and it also g Y . . . . . P PP sang at some of the larger school functions. For its initial year, its progress has been quite satisfactory, and the future of the Second Choir is assured. Top Row: C. Peterson, Frykmnn, W. Amlcrson, Bergstrom, P.

Hanson THE MALE CHORUS NDER the direction of Norman Myrvik, the Male Chorus was organized this year for the purpose of providing men interested in group singing with an opportunity to develop their talent. It provides this opportunity, requiring less of the members time than the larger organizations, yet realizing its purpose in a commendable degree. The Male Chorus is especially valuable in that it provides Theologians with an oppor- tunity to learn the fundamentals of harmony in the ordinary sacred music, giving them a background for church choir Work and congregational singing.

N ATHLETICS BASKETBALL BASEBALL INTRAMURALS IAMES PEDERSON Alhlctic Direclor N 1933, Augsburg's greatest football player returned to his Alma Mater, after some yearls of successful professional competition, to take up the duties of Athletic Director and coach of basketball. Iimmy has been with us since, enlarging his department and increasing the elliciency of its operation. Under his direction, Augsburg secured the new Minneapolis Armory for the basketball season. He has increased the variety of sports, having added such games to the gym schedule as badminton, handball, squash, and quoits. A new outdoor volley ball court was constructed also. Iimmy's plans call for an extensive program of intramural sports, a summer and winter playground at Augsburg Park, and increased effectiveness of the intramural program. 3' tim inf , ' ,Ilia l 5 'I gal Qi I COACH CARL SWANSON UGSBURG College was extremely fortunate in securing the services of Carl Swanson as coach of basketball and baseball. A graduate of St. Olaf College where he was an outstanding athlete in every sport, Cully is a Firm believer in the value of stressing the fundamentals of every sport he coaches. And his past record bears out his theory. Possessor of a magnetic personality and endowed with the ability to inspire his men to play the game to the best of their ability, Coach Carl Swanson has proven himself an able coach and a valuable asset to the Athletic Department.

Ernie Anderson, team captain for two years and a guard of the highest d Hem' caliber, was awarded a position on the Coaches, All-State team, an y Chapman received honorable mention. With this year's team returning almost intact, Augsburg is looking forward to next year with championship aspirations.

But, under the coaching of versatile Edor Red,' Nelson, the Auggies developed a very good team, boasting an excellent outfield, and adequate inheld, and a good pitching staff. Messerer, E. Anderson, Oudal, Dahlager, and Pond, outlielders, roamed the outer gardens in grand style. The infield positions were taken care of by Dahlen, Lokken, Knutsen, Schultz, Nesvig, and Kennedy who played good ball throughout the season. Mound assignments were received by Mickleson, Hoberg, and Messerer, and the catching was ably handled by Nelson. The Auggies,' finished fifth in the conference race but the standings do not adequately describe the relative merit of the team. Augsburg led St. Olaf, Hamline, St. Thomas, and Concordia I. C. into the final frames only to be nosed out by a narrow margin. A strong fteam is predicted for the 1937 season which will ably represent the college on the baseball fic..

When we think in terms of the above statement, we can see the range in possibilities of intramural activities. For the past two years, under the able super- vision of Richard Pautz, the interest in intra- murals has increased. There has been a greater number participating in the various events. The most conspicuous change was evident in football since intercollegiate competition was dropped. During the past tvvo falls over sixty boys par- ticipated Whereas in the previous season less than twenty took an active part in the sport. The emphasis on attaining a high degree of playing skill was sacrihced in lieu of a Wider range of objectives which will benefit a participant in a more effective carry-over of the sport in later life. RICHARD PAUTZ This past year we broadened our intramural basketball by means of intramural teams. We had two squads apart from the varsity, playing complete schedules in the city competi- tions. This afforded boys who were not ready for varsity play an opportunity to gain valuable experience, along with others who desired more basketball than offered in the regular intramural program. The growing interest in volleyball and badminton was very obvious. Volleyball was played equally enthusiastically inside and out. Badminton is an active game that gives splendid exercise and is a line game for post-college years. Diamond ball, handball, table tennis, and horseshoe were played throughout the year in free play and in several scheduled tournaments in each sport. Several years ago, tennis was conducted as a minor sport but during the past years it has been a very popular intramural event. However, next year it will be an intercollegiate minor sport. There will be a number of recreational activities such as handcraft, hobby projects, winter sports, and hiking added to the intramural program of next year. Emphasis will be laid on activities of low organization for group participation. Intramurals permit all types of activities for everyone. The girls have for the past two years, under the supervision of Mrs. Koss conducted a very active program. The events which were most popular were basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, badminton, and diamond ball. There is every indication that the women will do their part in making a greater program of intramural activity at Augsburg. ,Y ,-7 W . BLACKS ', '. 5 A Top Row: Mickelson, E.

For their indispensable co- operation and expert advice I am extremely grateful. And, in return for their personal interest in the success of the 1937 AUGSBURGIAN, may I say of Mr. Arther Segal of the Bureau of Engraving and Mr. Walter Schmidt of Augsburg Publishing House that it has been a pleasure to ask their advice and assistance.
