Dedication Professor George Soberg has rendered loyal and dedicated service to Augsburg College as a teacher of mathematics, as a member of the faculty, as a friend of students, and as a student of theology over a long span of years, from 1926 to 1965. For some time he has served the institution ably and conscientious- ly as the Augsburg representative in the Minnesota Inter-collegiate Athletic Conference, interpreting the high standards and principles of the Augsburg Athletic Depart- ment to the group as they have met periodically to determine policy for the conference. His constant concern for students and his ever ready willingness to help them individually further characterize Professor Soberg in a fine teacher-student-counselor tra- dition. His concern was for others, for youth, for the college, and for the future of Christian higher edu- cation at Augsburg College. 9 I
