MORE CLEAR AND COMPELLING THAN EVER Since our last Augsburgian appeared, the world has moved into a new period of crisis. Clouds of threatening war have steadily deepened. The life of our nation is being swiftly transformed to serve an economy of military preparedness. Educational institutions are gird- ing themselves for participation in the same overall program. Also for the church colleges of America it is again a time of stern readiustment. Seen in its larger aspects, ours is a day when all human values have been cast into the crucible of testing. Much that we took for granted in our culture, of both the old and the new, is seen to be only transitory, unable to survive the world-shaking fires of an atomic age. In such a time has the Christian college a calling and a future? Surely it has! For the Christian college, when faithful to its heritage, brings to the mind and spirit of man that vision of Truth which alone can give him inner peace in the midst of struggle, a hope not limited by the horizon of his fleeting days on earth, and a creative love to help lift the burdens and heal the wounds of the world. In a time like ours the task of the Christian college is more clear and compelling than ever. Let us strive to make the years iust before us, when measured by our service to the deepest needs of every student, one of the finest periods in Augsburg's history. -Bernhard Christensen
