Dedication I O I HE graduates and friends of Augsburg we dedicate this book. In the ■ building of Augsburg you are unselfishly and enthusiastically devoting time to plan and carry out the expansion program of our school. Your gifts, your prayers, your confidence in Christian higher education are the support of Augsburg; your tireless and humble service to God is our gain. W'e students appreciate the fact that Augsburg would have us be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone, and in an attitude of earnest resolve we prepare to assume our place in the tremendous program of God as fellow-builders with Christ in His Kingdom.

Fellow-Builders I jURING this school year when our new Science Hall, the product of gifts given by- thousands of Augsburg’s friends, has been rising, it is natural that we should think also of the whole work of Christian education as a process of united building. Each personality is molded by a far-rooted educational process. Other generations and cultures, our homes and teachers, our friends and co-workers, a multitude of the world’s workers who daily supply our material wants—all of these contribute to the growth of each individual’s life. We arc, all of us, in a very real sense debtors to all men.” Because we are debtors, we must all be builders—fellow-builders of the life of mankind, with and under God. And where better than in the fellowship of a Christian College can we ef- fectively learn the secret of meeting this sacred and inescapable obligation? May our year’s work together at Augsburg have brought us all one step nearer to this high goal. BERNHARD M. CHRISTENSEN, President
