Augsburg moves ahead . . Augsburg is moving ahead through a door of des- tiny marked Hopportunity unlimitedf, Located in a burgeoning metropolitan area, in a veritable Lutheran heartland connected with one of the three large Lutheran bodies on the North American con- tinent, The American Lutheran Church, Augsburg by the grace of Cod, is realizing to an ever greater degree the resources He has placed at her dis- posal. The College is strengthening its academic program, enlarging and improving its faculty, expanding' its campus facilities, increasing its stu- dent body, growing from an ever-widening base of support and exploring new fields of endeavor intellectually, culturally and spiritually. Above all, Augsburg continues to grow in the awareness of her mission as a Christian liberal arts college dedicated without apology to the task of helping young men and women view all things through the eyes of Christ. To have a part in this program, to share the adventure that is Augsburg, is the rich experience the Lord makes possible to those who helieve in this College's role in Christian higher education. -Oscar A. Anderson Oscar A. Anderson, Augsburgis Seventh Preszdenl During the 1962-63 academic year, President Leif S. Harho confronted Augsburg's major transition of becoming an in- stitution of The American Lutheran Church as one of the many endeavors to bear fruit from Dr. Bernhard Christensen's 24 years as President.

In the age-long quest for truth and knowledge, each person, even each generation, can take hut a small part. If man is to live a truly human life, and if he is to know and walk with God, the torch of living truth must he passed on from mind to mind, from heart to heart, from generation to gen- eration to generation. Augshurgls cam- pus is one of the settings where this search for and transmission of truth takes place most consciously and di- rectly on the part of lmoth students and teachers. Nearly 25 per cent of the 1963 graduates were mem- hers of the Augsburg Guild of Honor. Nine students fat leftj received graduate fellowships. LaVonne O1- son frightl was class vale- dictorian. Augsburg grad- uates are equipped to dem- onstrate occupational com- petence in many fields im- mediately upon graduation.
