N the seventh day of September, Anno Domini 1893, the upper class men of the College saw twenty-Hve inexperienced. innocent looking youths entering the college chapel to form the nucleus of the Class of 1905. and also to receive instructions regarding their duties and studies. The reception that was accorded this youthtul band of newcomers shall never be forgotten. The experience that each under went on this occasion lingers still in each one's heart. The first officird act accorded us in recognition of our class, by the authorities, was the appointment of Mr. O. G. Berg as class custodian. The follow, lng members answered to the roll call: Leopard Anderson. 0 G. Bergt A. L. Bcrgling, C. A. Carlson, R. Ebberi stein. Hilda Freed, P. GerlichJ E. Hurd. A. Jensen, Anna Lundin, M. Mattson, F, Muuson, O. B. Neisun, Hannah Ogren, D. Ossian, A. Peterson, Hilma Peterson, C. E. Petri, A. Sandersi E. T. Smith, G Stephenson, Anna Sund- quist. Lydia Sward, E. I.Tilln1an,J.A.Udden. Six at our class were ladies and with one exception the members of the class were Scandinavians. Seven states and m'enty-one cities were represented. In the fall of 1899 we resumed our studies. During this year Mr. C. A. Carlson served as class custodian. The class now numbered eighteen members. of whom two were ladies. Out of the twenty-live members in the Furst class there were only Ewe who entered the second class, namely: Leonard Anderson, A. T. Bergling,C. A. Carlson, George Stephenson and J. A. Udden. The other members of the class were EML. Bergquist. Albert Dahu. Neil Jones, Samuel Keaton Cora Laflin, Maude Medill, F. Miller. A. Mitchell, L. Mitchell, F. Peterson, W. Schaefer, R, Sheriff, and J. Sanders. Five states and ten cities were represented. 18 The fall of I900 we assembled to spend our last year in the academic department. Attempts were made to orga- nize the class, huL without success, As class custodian we had Mr. A. j. Anderson, hailing from Wick Haven, Perm. He was one of our most congenial custodians. The clues now numbered twenly-two members, and only four of the original class remained: - Leonard Anderson, C. A. Carlson, George Stephenson, and J. A. Udden. The class roll for this year, not enumerating those already mentioned, was as follows: - A. E. Anderson, C. W. Boynton, E. W, Carlson, A. Eichelsdorfer, H. Mink, V. E. 1lahi--Buhsh. At T. Lmimer, A. Mitchell. L. Mitchell, W. B. Mixter, 1, Montgomery. F. Peterson, Nora Peterson, C. E. Petri. M. Pihlgren, I-I. Plummer, and i . Schneider. representing six states. twelve cities, and one foreign country. lndia. After having spent three years in the Acadeihic Department, we returned in the fall of 190: to enter the Fresh man Class. The class was called together on October 41h, 19m, for the purpose of organizing. The result of the election of oliicers was as follows: - President, A. P. Westerberg. Secretary. Eva Sheldon, Treasurer, Martin Sandahl. On October lgth a meeting was held for the purpose of selecting an orator to take part in the Swedish Oratorical Con- test to be held by the four eulicgc classes. Two were elected as candidates to represent the Freshmen, - S. P. Hoimherg and A. P. Westerberg. They were asked tn prepare their orations 2nd to appear and deiiver the same before the class on November 2nd. 0n the appointed day this was done, and Mr. A. P. Westerberg was elected as class orator. The class motto was already causing some anxiety. It appeared as though some members could not study without :1 motto. On December 4th the following motto was chosen, Ad Fmem esto fidelis. Our first class troubles started at this meeting. Mr. Westerbcrg. who was chosen class orator. resigned. and Mr. S. P. Hoimherg was elected to Ell the vacancy. Class colors was the next thought, and so on December nth it was decided to pro- cure colors. At the next meeting, held e? e? fl'he secretary being eVIdently burdened with too much work forgot to record the dates in the class minutesji, silver-gray 21nd garnet were chasm as our colors. Another class meeting of unknown date was held, and at this meeting we received an invitation from the Phrenokosmian Society to render a program before the society in the near future. The invitation was acc'e pted and as a. class we Eel: proud 19 to be allowed to render a program where Our talents could be displayed. On April 11th the Freshman class rendered t the following program in the Phrenokosminn Hall.

MARTIN PlHLGREN April met the class met to make fmal arrangements for the uratnrical contest, A number of actions were planned,but the one most longed for was the class banquet. It was decided to hold this feast, on the eve of the contest, at the Harper House. About the same time the class decided to have, as it is recorded in the minutes, Some kind of A color rushf' Committees were elected to make and also heist a Hag. The result of the Hag rush, which t l took place on the 28th of April, was a victory for the class. Mounted on the highest point of the college dome. 1 l guarded by the members of the class, our friends 0f the class of 1904, were unable to capture the Hag. After the ' l colors had been up all day the president ordered that they should be taken down. The oratorical contest held on May end. was a victory. Mr. S. P. Hol'mberg tied with Mr. O. G. Berg, '04, for secclnd honors. During this year Mr. E. W. Carlson held the position of class custodian. The class consisted of four ladies and EU nineteen young men, as follaws, - A. E. Anderson, Agnes Anderson A. Craig, Ada Durham, 5. P. Halmberg, M. J. Johnson, A. T. Lorimer, A. Mitchell, L. Mitchell, W. B. Mixter, J. H. Montgomery, 0. L. Nordstrom, L. Noyd. M. Pihlgren. C. 0. Sandahl, Eva Sheldon, Esther Toreli, A. Trued, and A. P. Westerberg. In this roll seven states and seventeen cities were represented. On assembling in the fall of 1902. we entered upon our Sophomore year. Election of ofhcers occurred on the Ilthot October with the following results: --President, A. J. Anderson; Vice President, Alfred Trued; Secretary, W. E. Peterson; Treasurer, A. T. Lorimet. Mr. E. W. Carlson was chosen as our representative in the English Orator- ical Contest. On March 8th the class decided that suitable stationery should be purchased. Aprii ioth was the most important meeting of the year. All the details for the oratorical contest were then considered. Arrangements were made for an outing at the Watch Tower, and on the evening of this clay the members; with their friends sat down to enjoy an elegant dinner; In the oratorical cnntest held the ist of May our speaker. Mr. E. W, Carlson, secured the second prize. The class during the Sophomore year consisted of Five ladies and nineteen young men. Mr. E. W. Carlson served his second year as class custodian. The class consisted of the following mcmbcrs:- Agnes Anderson, A. J. Andere son, A. E. Anderson, C. L. Anderson, A. Craig. Jennie Cronhoim, F; De Hanson, 55, P7 Holmherg, V. E. Laurence, Oscar Liden.

The Junior year was in most respects like the Sophomore year. Class emcers were elected in October. The fortu- nate ones were: V. E. Laurence, President; Esther Toreli, Secretary; Arthur Andersen, Treasurer. The November meeting was interesting on account of the election of a class orator to take part in the Swedish contest to be held on May 6. Mr. A. J. Anderson was elected. The meetings held on April iglh and 26m were devoted to arranging affairs for the oratoricai contest. Another outing to Watch Tower was enjoyed this year. The original first class has dwindled away so that in the Junior year only two members remain.- George Stephenson and J. A. Udden. The custodian during this year was Arthur E. Anderson. The class was composed 21 oi two ladies and sixteen gentlemen, viz:- J. 15,. A. Alexis, Agnes V. Anderson, A. j. Anderson, A. B. Anderson, S. Bergdahl, E. W. Carlson, W. C. Ekeberg. S. P. Holmhcrg.

The Senior class organized on September 19th, electing as class ul'licers, ijoseph E. A. Alexis, President; Waldo C. Ekeberg, Vice President; Agnes V. Anderson, Secretary; and Arthur B, Anderson, Treasurer. We have this year only one lonely member of the original number who can relate the: experiences of the class from the time of its organization in 1898. But others have joined it. and now we number twenty-one, of whom four are ladies, Mr. Waldo CA Ekcberg holds the position of class custodian. The class meetings llns year have all been of unusual interest. Three important actions have been taken. Mr. Arthur E. Anderson. now Arthur E. Wald, was elected class orator on October 28th to represent us in the English oratorical contest to be heid on May nth. On November 11th we decided to procure a dass pin. Our last'and greatest undertaking, which we hope wiH always be remembered as a most meritorious effort of the class of hos, is the issuing 0! Tim Garm'l mu! Silacrery.

L Lnrsum SENIOR SEMINARY CLASS 1905. 32 THE RELIGIOUS PHASE OF COLLEGE LIFE. OOKING around over me many clubs, societies, lemns, etc. which occupy such conspicuous places in this annual and judging from these as well :15 from all that is u'ritken or otherwise depicted indicating the existence of a great abundance of activities at Augustana, an innocent reader may wonder if among all these manifestajions there still remains that true religious faith which we love to think belongs to Augustana. These friends the writer wishes to inform that religian .r': a living factor although it is not the nature of Christianity to bonsL and brag about what it is doing but on the contrary to be both hum- b1e and active. x We have 5.11 reason to believe that trueworship exists at Augustanu. At. our morning prayers in the chapel God ! Maw 1mm! is fend, prayers are offered and songs are sung that do not fail to touch, often careless hearts. Sun- day morning is so happily opened by morning prayer in the dining halls, and during the day the churches invite the students bath morning and evening to spend some sacred minutes together with worshiping congregations. A few students have charge of Sunday-schonl or Bible-classes. Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock a mission study chlss meets for thc purpose of arousing interest in the much neglected foreign missions. not only at school but possibly throughout the whole synod. The lfiz'zfc 1'le is taken along so that exact passages can be looked up at the meetings. Papers, prepared by the students, are read and a male chorus singse Occasionally a lecture is given. Those who find it inconvenient to remain indoors all day can go out and do practical mission work. A tract society, organiztid among the students themselves, furnishes the tracts. Many of the students avail themselves of this very excellent opportunity. Molina and part of Rook Island have been divided up into districts, and superintendents are 34 appointed to supervise the work. The student asks for tracts and is sent to a certain section where he can spend a must pleasant afternoon, administering some rays of heavenly light to careless and 11m cared for people. During at. least the last three years it kind of circuit prayer-meeting has existed. This meets on Wednesday evenings, sometimes with families where some one is sick, sometimes in schoclrrooms or at the dining hall. If the students don't go to the prayerrmeetings, the meetings go to them. On Saturday evenings two prayer-meetings are held in different rooms in the college buildingt Opportunities are given for all that wish to take part. Among the later organizations is a preaching club, which meets on Saturday evenings after the pruyer-meetings. This is for the purpose of training those ynunger students who may be called upon to preach during their sumi mer work. Besides these organizations it would also be interesting to look into some private rooms when the Bible is brought down at morning and evening devotions or to observe the invisible rays of Christian knowiedge imparted by some venerable professors in the busy class rooms, but this would be tb go too much into detail in this briefsketch. It is to be desired that religion, this tying again of bonds broken, may 50 permeate the student body that the sincere Christian sentiment may be strengthened at our school and in our synod. A. E.

MOST interesting and valuable part of school work is that of societies and clubs. The members of these organizations become acquainted with and interested in each other. To be sure, this would be the case even Without these organizations, But the coming together, the intermingling of- common interests, the successes and failures incident to society work. are conducive to bringing out of the student those qualii tics which are to count in later life. The fact that the aim ofsociety work is practical, the fact that Elitem pts in appearing before an audience are made with the view of improving in useful lines, makes students feel that they are comrades and brothers with simiiar aims and aspirations. Between the two prominent literary societies of the institution there has always existed a healthful rivalry. I'll: Phrnmkmmimr and the Addpbfc have similar aims, namely literary improvement and practical training. The work ,of each society is benefited by the work of the other. The older of the two, the Pizrmokasmr'mz, was organized as far back as 1860. Members oi the society have gone out into the world and made success. The society looks with joy at the work of its infiuential men, for among the many members of past years are found most of the ministers of our synod. college presidents and professors, besides a host of others that have met success in different helds of activity. It is inspiring merely to think of the history cf the society. And yet it has more than a past. As time rolls on. new members come andi go, but the society. soon Fifty years old, continues its work with the vigor of yuuth. The Adenipkic society was organized in 1883. Though much younger than the Rizrmakamziau, yet the Aridphft: too has a glorious past. Many former members of the society are active it: important spheres of life. We Find among them men of sterling quality, men that reflect credit on the society of which they were once active members. Tin: Arlrfpkz'r is rt wide-awake seciety.

We fmd these two literary societies vie with each other especially at the beginning of a school year when each one. wishes to leave a good impression with the new students. For it is clear that an organization can not exist merely by virtue of its past, but that it needs to prepare for the future and acquire new memberse The work of the le'ua- kosmz'mt and the Aiclplu': societies is to be commended, and every student ought to he a member of the one or the other. At our institution two languages are spoken. the English and the Swedish That much interest is shown in the latter is seen by the fact that no less than four purely Swedish organizations exist, SveusLa szcrhcfndilsimpd. Teglurfr'k-hmdex, 1.1mm, and Torgzgy Debating Club. Swmka Wftgrlxetmr'iliseapkt was organized in the fall of 1896. Its membership is limited to eighteen. At the meetings, which are held monthly, literary discussion is carried on, essays are read. and original productions are presented before the society. As a society of its kind, Svmsil'a VMerJ'Iemdilsk-rzprt doubtless takes the lead among all societies in America organized solely for the purpose of thrthering the interest in Swedish VLiterature and Culture. The fact that the society offers prizes in literary contests, and the fact that among its past members and present also are numbered men of poetical ability, gives to the society a recognition in this country, which it well deserves. A little more than four years after the organization of the thez'iletxxdilxizapd. a new society, the Ttgmr-fc'irhur 11' , sprang into existence. With great zeal and enthusiasm it has studied Swedish Literature and Swedish authors. Meetings are held twice 1 month, when essays are read and criticism offered. Something noticeable with the .72ng- fEa-dect is the literary development of its members. The society was organized among some students at the acad- emy. Now the members of the snciety are found in the whole college department. As the Ilkgnerzfdnbmrrlci gradually became a college organization. a need began to be felt of some similar organ- ization in the academical department. The Idlma was organized, and from the very start great enthusiasm was made manifest. The membership was not limited, and soon a large number of students interested in Swedish had joined the society. A meeting is held every Friday afternoon at live o'clock. The purpose at the society is to promote the use of the Swedish language. It might be thought that such enthusiasm as was shown at the outset would soon wane. but such was not the case, The Mum! has a place to Kill at our institution, and SD far the place has been well l'nlled. 4D C.

In the present school year a drawing together of these three organizations has taken place, and thus Swansea Klut'lml has come into being. It has its own room. where meetings may be held. liere are found the leading Swedish newspapers in the country. Just as interest is shown in the old Swedish tongue, 50 does also the English language demand the attention of the students. wa Saricfy of Bcllcs-LrIII-c: was organixed the present school year. Its aim is to study the English Literature and promote literary culture. The work consists of literary discussions, criticisms, reading 0E essays and other literary work. Although a new society, yet it gives good premise, and it has certainly an important place to WI. The two English debating clubs at the institution are the Gladvalm and the W'cbxtrr. The former is the older oi the two and 11:5 in the past numbered formidable debaters among its members. It has been of great value, as opportunity has been given of speaking both from well prepared notes and on the spur of the moment. Debating is an excellent practice. The debater acquires a fluency of language that hardly can be had in any other way. The GiadsIouc dea'ng Clem has both heard successful pleas and seen dismal failures on the part of its members, and yet. the work is continued just the same. During the present school year unusual interest has been shown. Perhaps one reason for this good condition of things has been that the Webster has done good work One club benehts the other. The chrm- Dceaiiug Chm from having been an Academy club now numbers members in most classes of the College Department. A steady develupment has been going m. It is no longer a feeder for the Gladxtwm. Though there have never been clashes between the two. yet the time may not be far distant when the st'tcr will challenge its older rival to debate. At our institution we have one debating club that uses the Swedish language. There are many who know Swedish well enough to be able to read and write but End some diniculty in expressing Iheir thoughts clearly and rapidly, It is to overcome these hindrances that the Tvrgluv has come into existence, By discussing questions of the day the debaler must learn these phrases of everyday life which are absolutely necessary and thus the longed for fluency of speech is acquired. 43 0m: N.

WEATHER CLUB. 45 In the Department of Elocution we have an organization that distinctly represents the work done in that line. The Elxilmrc Dr'mnalic Club was organized for the purpuse of studying dramatic plays from the point of view of out- ward expression and interpretation. Nor has science been neglected at our institution. A ieratln'r Club was organized some time ago fur the purpose of cultivating an interest in research work in Meteorology and related subjects. Last butnot least among the different organizations at school are the zlvgumzxm Forrfgu Armlrtw'au Sarita! and the Tract San'ngu If anything speaks well for the school, certainly this does. Tim zla'iuimr Sarita! was organized not primarily with thought of selt-developmentt although that necessarily followed, but with the purpose of doing some little good to men and women situated far from us in point of geography, but near when we consider the bond of human sympathy that makes all mankind akin. This society therefore also has rm important place to fill. Nut only is an attempt made to amuse some interest in the cause of missions, but to do something dehnite. The Illiuz'm: Sarita! yearly pays out a certain sum of money for the cause of evangelizing the world. May its efforts be crowned with success! It is hoped that as interest is aroused in this work, many may enlist actively in the ranks of those who yearly leave their homes for foreign lands to wnrk for the spreading of the Kingdom of the Lord. The fact that a. 2 th Sarital has been organized and. what is more, has laid down good honest work in the im- mediate vicinity by spreading tracts of good Christian spirit and by interesting people round about in Sundayischool and Church work, proves the existence of a vigorous Christian life at Augustana. Truly such organizations as the Mum; and the Tract Sacitty ought not to be overlooked in an enumeration of what we have at Augustana. We Had great activity at Augustana. The work of societies and clubs is prosperingt And why should it nut be so? Certainly it cannot be detrimental to put into practice even now those principles which we learn in the class room. It is by bringing theory and practice into a harmonious combination that the best results are to be attained. School lite is a preparatian for the greater school of practical experience. The different societies and clubs afford opportunities for individual effort, and the student gets to know himself, his faults and his mistakes. The aim of the many organizations is to correct these.taults and fit the members to conquer amid disadvantages. J E. A. A. 46 J. T. Heline.

N respect to musical organizations Augustann is indeed fortunate. She can pride herself both as to the permanent organizati0115,whicl1 have become an indispensable part of the musical life of the school and as to the minor organizations whose fortunes vary from year to year according as talent and interest assert themselves. Here are embodied the fruits of study both vocal and instrumental. And the student is given interest and inspiration for the pursuit of his studies. Here is the embodiment of the musical talent of the school, and the standard by which the merits of the Conservatory, as well as of the College in general, are often measured. The original purpose of the Chapel Choir was. as the name suggests. to take part in the Chapel Services. But as it has developed, the Field of actinn has became broader. and it is acknowledged to he one of the foremost choirs in the Three Cities. The Chair has for several years been under the leadership of Mrs. Edla Lund, who by her ability as director and by her perseverance has done very much towards improving the taste for good music. The active members are: Lydia Swensun, Otelia Adolfson, Lydia Olsson, Agnes Stephens, Lillie Cervin. Sopranos; Signe Telleen. Mrs. Louis Ostrom, Alt05; Carl H. Nelson, Paul Bostrom, Paul V. Johnson, Walter E. Pearson, A. P. G. Anderson, Tenors; Birgcr M. Beausang, Victor E. Laurence. C. Martin Ulnnder, C. Petrus Peterson, Basses. Active members upon leaving the Choir become honorary members. The Chapel Choir once made a tour through Aurora, Chicago and several other cities and was very successful. In May 1904, the Choir of 1899 held a reunion at Black Hawk's Watch Tower. the active members as well as the honorary members being present. The Augustana Band also maintains a good standard of prohciency in spite of the often adverse circumstances. 51 Sn cmnparison with hands whose members remain for a greater length of time. it is in great measure handicapped. Organized in the year 1874, it has continuously fulfllied the requirements of a. good college hand! both as to the quality and variety of its music. At present Prof. WA Lamp, recht of the violin department is acting as its director. For many years past Prof. C. L. Krantz has efhciently di- rected the band During his short term as instructor in the violin department. in the Fall of 1904. Prof. Oehlschlhgel also rendered services which proved his wide experience as handmaster. He has, however, been recently eiected as permanent professor in violint And in the prospect of his return in the Fall of 1905, the Augustana Band mayl to be sure. consider itself fortunate to have him again as director. The, organization of the present Augustana Mando- lin Club was formed in the Fall of 2902, At that time the Club was considerably larger than at present. The mem7 bers are: 0. T. Selterdahl, leader. 1. Alfred Fursberg, and Carl R. Nelson, Ist mandolins; Arthur E. Lindquist and Oscar O. Liitt, 2nd mandolins; and Walter E Pearson, piano. Several entertainments have been given by the Club in neighboring townsi and a good qualityof music has been renderedt During the present school year, they have 52 W. Penman. B. Beausang.

It has been formed out of the Mission Society, and takes a prominent part in all the programs arranged by this society. The Handel Oratorio Society was organized with the immediate object of rendering Handel's Messiah , and hence the name. The original society dates back to the year 1880 The work of the Society, however, has not been limited to the one Oratorio, but others such as the ttElijahh and Creation , have been rendered.

For many years it was conducted by Prof. Franz Zedeler, then instructor in violin, and was brought to a high degree of excellence. During the present year Prof. Lamprecht has had charge of the Orchestra. The. Milo Quartett was originally organized by members of the Mile Culture Club, and is witlmut doubt the most prominent Quartett of the school. The Quartett now consists of the following: Walter E. Pearson, Ist tenor, Carl H. Nelson. 2nd tenor, Birger M. Beausang, tst bass, and Einar Joranson, and bass. They will assist the Wenner- berg Chorus upon the tours which are to he made this Spring. Although of relatively short existence the Wennerberg Male Chorus has already the reputation of being, in its own sphere, a true representative of that College spirjt and Eife which must needs pervade every student body. The unequalled Studentshngen constitutes an important part of the programs which have been rendered by the Chorus. During the Spring vncatinn Of 1904, a tour was made through Northern Illinois. and everywhere the Wennerberg boys', met with a. hearty welcome. For the Spring vacation of r955 asimilar touris planned, and arrangements have been made for a series of Grand Concerts to be given in Nebraska and Iowa in June. The proceeds will be donated to a fund for the proposed Auditorium. Prof. Emile: Larson, instructor in the Conservamry Department, is the Director of the Chorus. V. E. L. 8! $93: m: i? egg 3?: G. P.

PaulJDhnsmL EDITORIAL STAFF OF THE OBSERVER. AUGUSTANA OBSERVER. 0 possess a clear and correct art of expression is often a mark of culture and a passport to advancement and honor. This is true of an individual student. But the students as a body should also have an organ of ex pression. The possession by the student body of such an organ. if it is of the right kind, is surely indicative of achievement and progress. Such an organ is now being edited successfully by the students of Augustana and its name is uAugusmna Observer? For a long time it was felt among the student body that a paper which would represent it and the Coilege was a very desirable thing. Several attempts were maria to establish em; but no immediate results crime of them. These slepS, however, were preparatory to the decisive step which was taken in the beginning of the fall term ofigaz. After rtareful preliminary arrangements had been made, the enterprise was fairly set on fact, and in December the advent of iUhlgustana Observer was hailed with delight as it marched bravely and Ermiy up to take its place in the ranks of college publications. A college paper is zit the: same time a means of expression ill'ld a bond of uninn. We often speak of the life oi an institution, h of its experiences, of its spirit, and of its career. And, indeed. such words used in connection with an educational institution are not so much figures 0! speech as approximations of reality and fact. This lifc, this experience, this spirit, and this carreer need and demand expression and interpretation. One student, or one individual. no matter in what capacity, cannot do this. A combination of all individuals attending and interested in the college must do it. Then individuaI peculiarities and prejudices are repressed and are commanded to remain within the proper and narrow bounds of one individuality; the interest of one student becomes th: interest of all 57 unly in 50 far as it cuncerns the wellurc of all; and the will. wisdom, and ideals of one becomes that of all in so far as they pertain to the success of the student body as a whole. When all this takes outward form and expression. the result is a college paper. That the uAugustana Observer as well as Other similar periodicals may come short of the glory of this ideal is sometimes the case. But, in the degree it has realized the beauty of the ideal and strives to attain it, in that degree will it achieve its purpose, and perform a necessary and fruitful mission. It will then attain its purpose of being a bond of union as well as a clear and correct means of expression, for in proportion as individ- ual caprice is eliminated will the interest in and sympathy with the efforts of all be augmented. The students are glad to have a college paper. They are proud of it at the same time as they realize the respon- 5ibilit3r it carries with it The HAugustana Observer is already a power for good at the college and it is the hope and intention of all the students to make it a power for goqd everywhere in our Synod, g bringing news. good and glad news of the doings and achievements of Augustana College, doing its share in instilling true and lofty ideals into the minds and souls of our youth. - thus attaining its end of expressing the life and spirit of our institution and binding students and friends in loving sympathy to our Alma Mater.

AUGUSTANA BASKET BALL TEAM. COLLEGE EXTREMES. GLIMPSE OF A STUDENTS ROOM. 71 THE NOON HOUR. M 3!! but I'm hungry. Won't you come over to the Hall with me and get some lunch? No, thank you. There are so many people eating over there thatl dont like to take my meals there. I do wish we had some place to eat up hermea place where we could get something hot. We hagi the best scheme last year when I was :1 kindergartner in Molina. Hazel and i. lived too far away to go home for Lunch and we carried ours until the happy thought entered our heads that the high school laboratory was close at hand and deserted at noon. Consequently we went there at noon, after the dignitaries had left, appropriated a locker for our dishes, pans. and such other things that we needed and cooked our lunches. 5tMy! that must have been fun. I have a locker here. Do you suppose we could do it? Martha has one also with a key. Couldn't we put her bottles in my locker and use hers for our pantry? LWhy of course we could. Let's bring the things tomorrow and begin. All right. Shall I ask prof. Ii ? 'tNo, indeed. He would have to say no, and that would be the end ufit. It's time enough to ask when he finds us ougeif he dues. - This conversation took place between these two girls one cold day in January, as they were sitting rather for- lornly on the window sill at the west end of the corridor. As a result of their planning Bess appeared at the College with numerous oddly shaped parcels, containing a stewpan, a package of Ceylon tea, a half loaf of bread wrapped in a pink and white dishtowei, a jelly glass of butter, a bottte of sugar labeled Hurfum AlmaudM'ml and another 72 one of salt iabeled Carlstiarl Apmrlm' Sails. a plate, cup, saucer. knife, fork and spoon. to say nothing of a pile of books of minor importance. Patty spied her with her load and met her with a giggle, whispering, I'll take some. I came up just about the same way. We can put them under my coat on the Hour of the girls' room. Patty lifted her coat to hide the things-end such a revelationl A bottle of olives, Mason jar of sugar, two small packages tied up in white tissue paper with black thread which she said contained pepper and salt, a dish towel, bottle of Shieley sauce Ohe donation of a kind friend whom she had taken into her confidencet and a can of peas. They giggled and whispered a little over their cleverness. and parted until noon. Twelve o'clock brought them a problem however. How were they to carry all their effects over to the laboratory without attracting attention and running the risk of discovery? While they were debating the question, Charlotte appeared on the scene, nCharlmtte, called Patty, ttget your coat and help us carry these things to the Lab. and we'll give you some dinner. She accepted the bribe. lamenting meanwhile, with :L sly twinkle in her eye, that she hadnlt known of their designs, for she would then have worn her long coat instead of her short jacket and could have been of more service to them. They reached the laboratory, climbed the stairs, opened the door, and, luckily, found the room empty. Patty immediately emptied Marthals locker, cleaned it out as well as possible with a piece of paper for a scrub-brush, and then carefully covered the bottom with a clean paper to avoid any dangerous acids that might have been spilled there. With the aid of the Bunsen burner the other two girls soon had a toothsome lunch prepared of hot peas with bread, butter and olives, and steamihg tea. Their elabomte repast was interrupted by a rapping on the window. They all started. looked about but discovered nothing. All was proceeding merrily again when it sounded asecond time. Bess went to the window to investigate when rap, rap, rap sounded again right in her car, and they were relieved to learn that the disturbance was nothing more than a rattling window and guilty consciences. They made short work of their luncheon and soon had all signs of their feest cleared away When they 73 were out of doors again and had taken about two free breaths. they noticed Prof. P. coming across the held toward them. His hat was fortunately pulled well d0wn over his eyes and he diduit see them. As it was not a customary hour to be coming out of the laboratory they hastily turned to the north, ran down to lhc: roadr way just south of the football field and out onto thirty-eighth street. Prof. P's, abstraction mud the strong wind had combined to save them that time andethey thought, as the Fates seemed propitious, the;r would continue their private banquet hall. a: $ e ttYes, indeed. said Bess, ttwe have been lunching here for two months. We were quite timid at first and were afraid of being caught but have new become very bold. Several times there have been alarms but we always lock the door and have time to hide everything before one of us very d ligent students opens it. So far the professor has been very considerate. I guess he's a hearty enter and needs the full noun hour.h nThere goes the gentleman now, so we're safe for an hour, said Patty. Patty and Bess were wending their way to the laboratory, :tccompnnied by Ben and Jack whom they had invited to lunch with them on that day. On arriving there, they ciimbed the stairs and locked the door. Their lunch was a little more elaborate than usual in honor at the twn guests and they set out their vizinds. put the water on to boil for the tea, heated their can of baked beans. and were ready to eat. 'tMy, this is lifel'i said Jack. hThis is a luncheon worthy of :L king.u How could it be otherwise when we have two queens to grace the dining-ruom table and the kitchen stove. replied Ben. - My goodness! the beans are burning , cried one of the girls and Ben tumbled precipitately to put out the gas. whcniharklh-someone is trying the door. Put everything in the locker? whispered Patty. hDump them in any way and crawl in some place yourselves , said Bess, quick! quick! IrI bcIOng to'the class here. All of you hide, said Jack. '74 They obeyed, crawling SOIDEhUW or other into some of the nearest luckers. Jack strode t0 the door, nota vestige of their spread or themselves left to tell the story. nWhy. how do you do. Prof. P. said Jack, I guess the latch slipped when I closed the door. I've been doing an experiment that I have never tried before. uAh, yesf! said the genial professor, :tdid you succeed? Looking ahnut the room, he added, 3 Vhere is it? Ith, I have finished, Jack replied. The professor nodded and busied himself about the room, getting ready for his one u'eiuck class. Junk continued with more usual experiments than the one he had just completecl, and worked diligently. Finally the class began to assemble and each took his place at his locker. Jack watched his opportunity and, when the professofs attention was directed in the opposite direction, he quietly opened Pattyis locker, and she crawled out and took her place with the class, relieved to get out of her close quarters and from her uncertain preciicarnent. They both now awaited an opportune moment: to release the other prisonerS, neither of whom belonged in the classi After :1 time they, tau, were released and stole down into the adjoining room. h Now the question was. how to get out of the building, as there is no entrance to that mom except through'the one where the professor was. If they ventured out he would be sure to see them and, if they stayed there, he would be sure to come in for something and they would be discovered. There seemed no way out of the dichuity exncpt to creep along the south lockers when the professor was at the other end of the room, then. on a signal from jack, to make .1 dash for the door. They crept along and awaited Jack's signal when down the room comes the incansiderate professor and the culprits fies t0 the other room When the danger was over, they tried again with the same result and this time the professor followed into the other ronm to get an acid, Hess and Ben dodging around the lockers in a frantic endeavor to keep out of sight. Fortunately, he. was too absorbed in his work to notice the slight noise they made ur the commotion 0f the classt 75 A third time they tried but he seemed a must refractory professor, and came again up in their vicinity. This time they hid behind some friendly petticoats and the prufessar cnnsiderately went again into the other mom. In less time than it takes to tell it, the two fugitives ran through the dour that Jack already had open Ior them, and stepped out once more on safe ground, greatly relieved and of the firm conviction that laboratory Iuncheons were a little too much bother, and that the rolls and coffee at the restaurant were a great pienty for lunch.

ENDOWMENTS. :wwt N the develdpment of institutions :25 well as individuals there come certain critical periods where the course of progress, as it were, is barricaded with insunuounmble obstacles, and the much-sought goal disappears in the mist 0f the seemingly impusgible. But. some event turns the tide. The insurw mountable dwindles down, the once impossible becomes possible, and, with the way of progress cleared of obstacles, the march goes vigorously onward, infused with new hope of an end to be aCCOmpliShed- The history of Augustana shnws some critical periods. but also gives evidence of a healthy and steady growth. For the range of instruction has ever been widening. the number of students has increased from year to year, and the passing years have witnessed our Alma Mater growing hnancially more secure. This. however, has not 'i come about without struggles, exertions, and sacrifices on the part of th Use who have had the welfare of Augustana at heart. Looking back over the history of Augustana, we fmd that at critical periods, when financial perplexities have arisen, the embarrassed situation has always brought forth men to brush away the impeding hnaucial diH-iculties. Thus, along in the eighties, when the new college building was under erection, its completion was rendered pussihle through the cash donation of 525,000 donated by Mr. P, L. Cable of Rock Island. A few years ago, when the Augus- tana University Association had purchased the tract of land north of the College, now known as Ericson Park, and was unable to hold it on account of indebtedness, Hone 0.1. A. Ericson 0E Buune, Iowa, came to the rescue with a donation of $12,800. on the condition that the Association should rai5e an equal sum. ' Recently a fund known as ttKing Oscar II's Professorship was secured from Sweden. The realization of this fund we owe chiefly to the 33 CONSUL OSCAR EKMAN. HUN. 0. J. A. ERICKSON. HON. P.

' .To further the interests of Augustana iu the line of endowments, two societies have been organized by friends of the institution in Rook Island and Molina. The Augustana College and TheologicalSeminary Endowment Fund Societ;r was organized in the spring of 1894. The chief object of this society is to endow the President's chair. Though the organization is cmnparatively young, much has already been achieved, and, no doubt, the energeticworkers of the society in the near future will have accomplished their purpose. The present ofhcers of the society are1-Mrs. L. Ostrom, President; Mrs Thulin. Vice President; Mrs. L. O. Boostrom, Recording Secretary; Mrs. C. A. Larson, Corresponding Secretary; Mrs. F. E. Peterson, Local Treasurer; Mrs. Geo. hi Johnson, General Treasurer; Mrs. C. W4 Fuss, Ewaresident, The Augustaua Mechanical Engineering Society of Molina was organized in 1902. The sole object of this society is to raise a fund of $23,000 to endow a Chair in Mechanical Engineering at Augustanm The members of the seciety have been very active, and considerable progress has been made toward realizing the object in view. Not long ago the society received a gift of 35m: from George K. Hamfeldt, 0f Rankin, Pa. The present ofhcers of the society areziMrs. C. H. Godehn.

During this long period of time the institution has passed through cioudy days as well as those of sunshine; yet there has ever been a steady develo pment. to which fact AugustanaYs history bears evidence. We know not what the future has in store for our Alma Mater, but the present indications are such as to warrant a bright and prnsperous future.

BS THE SCYLD MYSTERY AND ITS MEANING. r we- Ne of the most interesting and fascinating subjects suggested by a perusal of uBeowulf is the Scyld mystery. It is a subject which appeals to our innermost sensibilities with a peculiar and touching force. 4 One reason Why this is true is that it centers around the greatest question of all times, the question of life. Scyid is the name of the character concerned in this mystery. One usually begins a biography by telling of the parentage and birth of the person. But concerning Scyldis parentage and birth the only authentic knowledge we have is that it is unknown. There are many people who complain, utter having had some hard experiences in life, of being tossed to and fro 0n the chafing billmvs of time. But Scyld comes into existence mysteriously rocking Ione on the main even when the merest of infants. We find him first in a casket on the sea. of his entrance into existence the poet says so tuuchingiy: 'iWhen first he was born they outward did send him lone on the main, the merest cf infants. :Whnt significance, what pathos in that little, yet solemn word, 'ilone ,e ione on the main! Fortunately, he was found by some benevolent people on the shore. Perhaps they felt within themselves that the little child which they held in their hands would become a great hero. At any rate, it was an attractive and hand- some child, and therefore they were willing to foster it and bring it up as one of their own. He received the training of one who is to have battles to Fight and hardships to endure His education was quite unlike that which our youth are receiving. He could not sit in some shady nook of the forest and read the poet's interpretation of the beauties of natureeuf the melancholy solitude, of a thick forest, of the exquisite music 89 '1 -MI M? .m: 5 $3 FRONT VIEW OF THE COLLEGE CHAPEL. in the ever rippling stream, of the solemnity arid sublimity of the rhythmical swelling 0f the mighty ocean waves. Instead Of this. he had to wander all alone in those dreary forests, swim across those musical streams, and brave the storms on those mighty waves. . Like every other youth struggling to eminence, he had his reverses, his enemies to conquer. his obstacles to overcome. In the beginning of his career, the poet tells L15, he was dErieridlessl'. yea, even wretched . Then he adds: tlThe earl had had terror. But, to true heroes, such experiences are but preparations for great things. By determination, by heroism and. noble deeds. he soon gained fame as a warrior. Then it was an easy matter to make friends. to gain followers. HIt is by praiseworthy actions , says the poet, nthat honor is got among all the nations. Our aspirants to fame and honor would do well to adopt the same course in order to attain their ambition. Scyid soon became the leader of his people and led them successfully and gloriously through many were; The poet says of Scyid in this connection: Lo, the Spear-Danels glory through splendid achievements, The folk-kings' former fame we haveheard of, How princes displayed then their prowess in battle And in another place thus: He waxed neath the walking, worid-hunor gained, Till all his neighbors oler sea. were compelled to Bow to his bidding and bring him their tribute, An excellent atheling. For many years he was king. He had won the affectionate respect of his peopie. They 'called him 'tbeloved leader. But, now his end was approaching. He had attained the highest pinnacle of fame. He had conquered all his enemies; he had ruled over the people he loved. for many years; his departure was :11 hand; he died. hAt the hour that was fated Scyid then departed tn the AIl-Father's keeping; away then they bore him to the flood of lhe purrent! his fund-loving comrades, as himself he had hidden. 91 REAR VIEW OF THE COLLEGE CHAPEL. A ring-stclmned vessel was then fitted out for the departure of their hero. Icy in glimmer. and eager for sailing, it lay there at anchor. In this hark the Eondeloving comrades laid their wellibeioved hero. Jewels and weapons. weeds, bills and burnies were supplied him in abundance. Thus equipped and prepared for his journey, Scyld was taken from this world on the Rush of the current etc the land of Hereafter. L-Seawzu'd they consigned him. And as the bark left the shore, the poet says of the people: Sad was their spirit, their mood very moumful. Men are not able soothly to tell us, they in hall who reside, heroes under heaven. to what haven he hied. In this practical age lite is a terrible reality. And yet after all has been said about the reality of life, it is not :1 contradiction to say that life is a mystery. It is this mystery that is suggested by the character and career of Scyld. The circumstances of his entrance into the world are a mystery. He is found lone on the main, the merest of infantst What is the meaning of such an appearance in the world? Is it an endeavor to represent the mystery of birth'! It may be this; and yet it must have a deeper meaning? Perhaps it means that we do not know when we began our existence; but that much is certain that it began long before we. make our appearance in this world. Perhaps the poet is suggesting the idea that the innermost lllevprinciple had no beginning, that it is eternal as God from whom it comes. I We are reminded, in reading of the finding hf Scyld, both of Moses and the mysterious Melchisedek; otMuses, for he, too, was found in a casket on a stream when the merest of infants; of Melchisedek, tor he had no beginning, his entrance into the world being as much a. mystery as Scyldis. The death and burial at Scyld are also wrapped in a shroud of hjystery. What is the significance of the fact that they made such elaborate preparations for his journey to the other world? it seeihs as if all the ancient peoples had the idea that the dead must make a long journey to the land of Hereafter. The Egyptians would supply their dead with entertaining novels which could aHord them amusement en the way. The Mound-bullders stored away all kinds of utensils and even food for the dead. And the Scandinavians built not dissimilar mounds in which they would place whole viking ships and complete armor. i There is something crude about such preparations for the journey Ell the departed. And yet may there not be 93 THE GYMNASIUM. some hidden truth in it all? Whu knows but what the interval from the L15: breath to the arrival to resplendant glory of Hereafter may not. be a. journey? There 15, indeed; a mystery here and who dares to say more? Tennyson suggests a. similar idea in speaking of the passing of Arthur. When Arthur is about to depart in that dusky bugs, he says: q am going a long way. And it seems as if the Scyldings believed that their hero was Hgoing a long Way. That ring-stemmed, well equipped vessel speaks for them and says: Hie is going a long way. It must have been a most pathetic scene as the followers of the great here laid him in this bark and s-ent it outward on the Hood of the current. Sad was their spirit as it began to move along slowly and solemnly from the shore. the'lr mood was Very muurnful as they watched the barge move its solitary way far out upon the sea. What a pathetic, touching scene! No wonder they cried out in lamenting tones as the ship became no larger than a speck: Men are not able suothly to tell us to what haven he hied. And we modems are like them as we utter the solemn words: ' 0, mystery of Death! AN '05. LADIES' HALL. BIRDS-EYE VIEW OF SURROUNDINGS LOOKI m-nI-u-nn-c -' '- NG NORTH FROM THE COLLEGE BUILDING. Q m ,D .L I U B .E G m L. O ,C m I 0 THE SURROUNDINGS OF AUGUSTANA COLLEGE AND THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. T would no doubt be of interest to those Who love our institution to know a little about its surroundings and location. Our Alma Mater has a unique situation, a situation which adds to the charm which it exerts upon all who have been here. I ' The College buildings uccupy a picturesque part of Rock Island. It is in the eastern part of the city and not many blocks from the city limits of Molina, The lower or business part of Rock Island is nearest the Mississippi, just oppasite the city oi Davenport. As you go south in Rock lsland the ground becomes elevated. Where this ground reaches its highest elevation. the College is located. One of these elevations is Zion' 5 Hill, at the foot of which the College buildings are situated. This hill commands alnost excellent view of the immediate surroundings of the College. Toward the east you see the flourishing city of Molina with its numerous factories and industries. Directly below and north Hows :1 little branch of the Father . of Waters, and on the other side rises the island upon which the Govern- ment Arsenal is located. The borders of the island consist of shruhbery and trees and during the warmer months its verdure and primeval Second Avenue, Rock Island. 95 Entrance to the flock Island Arsenal. Gun Yard at Ruck laland Arsenal. aspect forms a pleasing contrast to the factories and mills which are so thick on the other sidein Molina, Davenport and Rock Island. The large and numerous Arsenal buil- dings give the island an aspect; of medieval scenery, re- minding you of the castles and fartresses which were im- hedded in the verdurcand forests of feudal days. In short, the island, though it is the home of War and has thefoun- tain of Death, being 2L place were implements of war are manufactured, appears as if it were a summer resort. Davenport is the largest of the three cities. It has a population of about 40,000. Its situation on the Mississippi, reaching with its dwellings and factories to the very edge of the river, and rising, going north from it, higher and higher until it loses itself in the green hills and beautiful trees which contrast in a pleasing way with the azure of the heavens, makes its general appearance a line sight from the College Hill. Davenport has just lately been adorned with a new Public Library, the result of the munificence of the great philanthropist Andrew Carnegie. Moline is the little Chicago of the Mississippi Valley region. It has a population of about 25,000 people. It also has only recently rejoiced over the erection and com- pletion of a new Public Library. In this city are situated several large manufactures. One of the largest congrega- 99 tions of Lhc Augustnnn Synod is located here. Ruck lslandt a city beautiful and prosperous in itself.is only lhe more so than the other two because they adorn it on either hide. The street upon whirh the Cullege is situated becmnes in iis wesmin portion a residence sweet. upon which the picturesmlne Broadway Church is to be seen mid also the new, splendid High School Build- ing. It is singular that we can re, late about Rock Island also that it has a new and inviting PubLic Library. Cal. Dnvennort's House. Rack Ialnnd Arsenal. It is a monument to the sacrifice of the penple 0f the town as well as t0 the genius of those to whom its erection is immediately due. About three miles south from the business section of the city lies the region made famous by the Indian leader, Black Hawk. The promontory, which Iises above the Rock River, was named after him Black Hawk Watch Tower. It is the most picturesque place in the neighborhood. The biuff itself is one hundred and seventyrflve feet high. It commands a view of the river already mentioned, the rapids. the Hennepiu Canal, and the few houses which dot the scenery here and there. It is used as a resort and is frequented during the spring and summer months by restless crowds eager for a little refreshing outing where nature is clad in her most beautiful garments. ' Having now a general view of the situation and location of the College it might not be amiss ty givea few glimpses of the immediate surroundings.ithose surmund- ings with which the student becomes familiar and which are intimately associated with his recollections of college life. The Gymnasium is a unique structure. It has its importance which should not be underestimated in the development of a student. It is situated in the rear of the new College building and has a very picturesque location. having on the one side Zion's Hill and on the othera deep ravine. Among theinteresting immediate surroundings there is none which adds so much to the natural beauty of the place m5 Zion's Hill. Rising just a little ab0ve the new College blinding ipmpbo it forms a beautiful background. On top of the hill, in the midst of oaks, stands the Band Pavilion, from which during the warmer months the thrilling music of the Augustana Band is often heard. If the happy thoughts and ro- mantic feelings. which Zion's Hillhas inspired could be written down, volumes would result.

The second and third fioors of the main division of the building are occupied by the Commercial Depart ment. A part of the building. because of its proximity to the clouds, is called uUi'ylmzius . It differs from its Grecian prototype in that its dwellers belong to the mundane sphere, This will also be evident from the circumstance that, in willing obedience to the Chimes, pro- ceeding frum the belfry above, they, at Spencer Square.

The remaining parts of this building are occupied by the students Close by is the Ladiesi Hall.

In conclusion, we would not hesitate to say that the immediate and general surroundings of our Alma Mater are of the kind which make for refinement, culture, and wellrmunded development, and that no student can remain the same unbalanced, un'stable, and uncultured indivmual he ordinarily is' when he comes here if he makes a proper use of all these advantages.

' ' V t it The great popularlty winch thIs remedy has attamed. and the fact that all who have used it according to directions have found SALUBRIN to be 2m indi$pensuble household remedy, these. facts have created a constantly growing demand for Suiubrin, and as a consequence numerous imitations have been placed on the marked both in the inventoris country, Sweden, and other Eurepean countries, and also in the United States. These imitations, often in their respective names closely imitating Saiuhrinn, are either more or less worthless, or they are illegal infringe- 0' ments on my patent, and the public should beware of them.
