CAMPUS LIFE J. S. Melby, Dean of Men Gorda Mortensen, Dean of Women Solve Student Problems Passing on to the aspect of solving student problems, which come closer to the average student, we find that for every person entering college there are of necessity many problems which will confront him. Natu- rally the situation differs with the individual. The first few days of registration are always bothersome. First of all. hardly anyone knows just how many hours he can take, or worse yet, no one knows just what he wants. Prof. Quanbeck and Miss Anderson must un- tangle the ideas existing in the student's brain, thus liberating the pressure on the cranial nerves. College, however, is not content with the solution of one problem. As the student progresses, problems of a more serious and complex nature back the youth against the wall. Pitfalls of various descriptions lie concealed on every hand. Facing this, the young person welcomes the counsel of one who knows how to assist in the solving of life's problems. The offices of the deans, and the personnel director are just such havens of help to all those who seek guidance in any difficulty which may arise. 17 Martin Quanbeck, Registrar Isadora Anderson, Assistant to Registrar Norman C. Anderson, Personnel Director

CO-ORDINATE Ethel Ingebredtsen. Secretary to rresider Manage Auggie Business In order that any school may function smoothly and orderly, there must be a group of people whose work is more or less behind the scenes. This group contacts the outside world and brings it in connection with the school. Even though the ma- jority of the students never see. and much less realize, the amount of work accomplished by those in the business life of the school, there can be little doubt that without this co- ordinating force our institution would be sadly lacking in unity. Our business manager. Rev. Olaf Rogne. has done a mar- velous work since coming to Augsburg a year ago. His efforts in behalf of the school have meant more than most of us as students realize. Usually, after having his case settled in the Registrar's Office, every student walks quietly into the room labeled Treasurer's Office. From this domain no one leaves with- out quietly slipping a few silver certificates under the glass window to smiling Miss Sverdrup or friendly Miss Dahl. Yet. no one emerges from this office with any feeling of remorse. It is all a part of school life. 16

THE WORD In order to perpetuate a grow- ing church body there must be a source from which new lead- ers may be secured. This source must not only be in harmony with the main church body, but the new leaders who come forth must possess the qualifica- tions which will enable them to lead the fight for truth.'' The Bible speaks often about the Shepherd leading his flock. In the same manner we may liken the young men who go forth into the ministry of God. They must be able to help the church parishes as the Shepherd helps the sheep. For this purpose Augsburg's Theological Seminary was origi- nated. To meet this need our school has obtained the services of several prominent theologi- ans who daily in the lecture room shape the lives of those who will in the future serve the Lord in His vineyard. From a small beginning in Marshall. Wisconsin, the Theological Seminary has carried on faithfully through the years, making a worthy contribution among the Lutheran Seminaries of our country. J. S.
