Miss Mortenscn receives President Anderson’s congratulations. Dedication Few people have had the opportunity and the ability to contribute substantially to the develop- ment of the personality and character of more than ten generations of students. This has been the privi- lege of Gerda Mortenscn who came to Augsburg as Dean of Women with the second class of women ad- mitted to Augsburg in 1923 and has been the con- fidante and the adviser of each of the classes ad- mitted since. With time out for one year of teaching in Han- kow. China, and with minor interruptions for study at Columbia and the University of Minnesota, Dean Mortenscn has been on hand to greet every freshman class as it has enrolled. She has also served as co- ordinator of student and faculty activities and as hostess on innumerable social occasions. Sought after as a speaker, especially by church women and counselors, Dean Mortenscn is known by many who have never been on the Augsburg Cam- pus. She is fondly remembered not only by women graduates but by the men as well. In her last year as Associate Dean of Students and Dean of Women, the Augsburgian staff of 1964 ded- icates this annual to Miss Gerda Mortenscn, remem- bering the many students whose hearts have been lifted and horizons widened—whose lives have been lived to the glory of God—because of her. u
