Into the future from the present, Augsburg must go. that they who follow us shall find here a free school on free American soil. For a leader at Augsburg who has gu-ded students through past years with the firm determination of one whose life has a noble aim; who has for questioning youth in the restless present the certain answers of truth simply spoken; who dares lead unafraid into an uncertain future, not in blind optimism or in despairing gloom but »n the belief that the words of the Lord endure—for a Christian man whose words and deeds and life have made and kept Augsburg a place where we belong, our songs resound. Grate- fully. to Professor J. $. Melby. Dean of men. teacher of Christianity—to Si our frend we dedicate this book.
