He accompanied Dr. Hasselquist t0 the United States and arrived in Paxton, 11L, in the fall of 1870. The first year he was assistant teacher in German, Latin and Greek.

During the years 1876e73 and 1882e85 he served as secretary of the Iowa Conference and 1887e90 he was secretary of the Synod. During his pastoral work he was an ardent student of theological literature and made a specialty of Historical Theulogy. In the year 1889 he was called by the Synodicul Council to serve as acting professor 111 the Seminary, and the following year the Synod at Jamestown, N, Y., elected him as regular professor of theology. He was installed November 6, 1890. His main subjects as teacher and lecturer have been: Church History, Symbolics and Biblical Theology, and during many years: Biblical Introduction, Swedish Homiletics, Catechetics, Apolo- getics and Pastoral Theology, He is recognized :15 the most eminent schoim of Church History within our Synod.

As :1 recognition of his scholarship and work his Alma Mater conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity in the year 1894, and King Oscar of Sweden decorated him in the year 1907 with the Royal Order Knight of the Royal Order of the North Star. Dr. Forsander is a member of the American Church History Society, New Yurk. In Burlington, 12L, January 6, 1875, Dr. Forszmder was married to Miss Johanna Charlotm Ahlgren, who was to him a faithful and self-sacrificing wife. It was a great loss to him when she died, January 30, 1909. NIrs. Forsandcr was a woman of deep piety, and she was active in Christian work. In memory of his wife Dr. Forsamler in the year 1909 donated 10 Augustana College and Theological Seminary the sum of $1,000 to he :1. fund known as nMirs. N. Forsander Scholarship. The annual income of this fund shall be given to 11 worthy theological student. Among his friends Dr. Forsander colIected :1 sum of $1,300 in the year 1911J which fund was to be another scholarship. The Board of Directors has named this fund uThe Dr. N. Farsnnder Scholarship. The income of this fund shall be given to a deserving theological student, and preference shall be given to one who accepts a call to :1 foreign mission field. In I912 Dr. Forsnnder donated a sum of $1,000 as the beginning of :1 fund for a future Seminary Dormitory. Friends of Dr. Fursandcr, in appreciation of his services, ordered his picture painted in oil by Professor Grafstrdm. This lifelike oil painting was brought to the home of Dr. Forsnnder on his bilthdny, September 11, 1913, and after it had been omatelf iramed, it was placed in the Denknmnn Library. If the Synod at its next convention accepts the resignation of Dr. Forsnnder, we wish him 1L well deserved rest, but bespeak for him many years of usefulness as a preacher and writer. C. E. LINDBERG.

T0 the alumni in Elll departments, to all former students, to the present student bmly, tn thusc who have contributed hf: their means or otherwise to the support of this institutiun, m members of the Board, present and past. to the congrega- tions of the Synod, to the parents and relatives of the StleCntSHtlJ till we express it wurtl uf cheer and appreciation. A very prosperous school year is rapidly drawing to a close. We have many reasons to be thankful for the success that has attended the wnrk at the past year, for the general good health that has prevailed, and for the spirit of amity that has characterized our entire school family. A retrospect of the hfty-five US of Augustana's existence brings to mind many things of thrilling interest. There has been a 10mg series at sacrifices far the welfare of the i stitution on the part of its generous founders, its heroic band of devoted men who gave the best efforts of mind. heart, and body to the Work of administration and instruction, of its loyal patrons without whose sympathy and co-opemtion it would have heen hnpnssihle to achieve what has been accomplished. 1n the history of the institution there are some heroic chapters which are a true record of how faith-inspimdi hopeful and Cmtrztgwus men have climbed The worldls great altar stairs That slope through darkness up to God. They have done what they could, their work is appreciated, the present generation is enriched by the heritage of their labors. XVItile a survey of the past awakens El deep sense of gratitude for a legacy of faithful service and noble deeds, it inspires at the same time fnitlL hope, and courage for :l greater future h'Iidway between what the institution is and what it might bctamt- a vision of greater things comes to the workers who now are toiling in the midst of the field a vision of enlargement, of greater opportunities, of increased efficiency, at grander achievements. From 3 clear sky they seem to heat the divine cull, like unto that which came to Moses of aid, Get thee up into the top of Fizgnh, and lift up your eyes tn the west and to the east, to the north and t0 the south. From this lofty puint of outlook the prospect indeed is inspiring. It was never so bright. so full of promise for the future it is to-day. Augustanzt appreciates the llopen door that Li sct hefure her, and is girding herself in every possible way for the race that leads to the goal. This is the spirit that nctuatcs eveiy member at our school family. In the glow of this visiun of :1 greater Augustnna and with that enthusiasm hum ml the conviction of 21 lofty destiny, we speak out words of friendly greeting to the readers. at Rocix'etfc-l,H and pray that our message may find a ready response in their hearts.

WEE; ml manna STUDEM'S PW oer 31 Our Teachers HE art of living is :1 wonderful, but seldom uttninmL art To learn to live includes well nigh every phase and pnrpnsc nf our existence. It has been the goal of civilization, it is the end tnwmd which human society ,. Strivesetu learn tn 1 c. This has been the putpuse of nut edtlcetthm. XVith this aim, we have pared through hix'tury and literature investigated intu scientific truths, sought Hnal help in Christian faith. Perfection in the art at livinge indeed it is it high ideal. High though this ideal, there is still fl higher. Thuugh we might approach this summit, :1 Inftft-r luums up above it. Greater than to know is to teach. Chaucer has tersely characterized the true teacher, hAnd gladly wohie he leme, and gladly techc. hlnny there perhaps are who succeed in telemhly perfet'ting the art of themselves living fully, But are they not few who lead others onto the paths of Truth? Yet it is the influence of these who move the world. High ideas and high ideals set forth by men who have themselves reached a higher plane of life have teuidcd to lift mankind cvcr upward towards the Truth. Luftier is the aspiration to aid another in 1' to climb alune the heights of Truth. To have influenced one individual character fnr the hctter-is that not sufficient reward for the teacher? The Master Teacher considered the one of the hundred plentiful gain fur the anxiety and trouble endured. The student in the hands of the teacher is as clay in the hands of the putter. Sympathy with the learner admits the teacher into the studenths heart. That point gained, the pilot follows his Czlptainys orders. The influence may, it may not, he tunscinush' given or consciously received In either case it tells. As surely as the law of gravity causes the flow of water from :1 higher to a lower level, the flow of influence passes from teacher to student. Our teachers, we know, are true and their teaching for the best. How can we but love those who have foregone high pfnces and prominence, so-eulled, to give their best for us. Our teachers, we have experienced, are here because of firm convictiom that education without Christian learning is. not true education. Therefure they have been willing to sacrifice title and rank that they may develop in our hearts the :pirir of learning as they train our mental powers in form: of knowledge, Their reward is not visible, but it lives and will continue tn live in the hearts of the students of Augustnm mud in the life of the Christian American nation. ting than C0 NRAD B ERG ENDOFF.

Forensics at Augustana HE age of oratory has not passed; nor will it pass. The press instead of displacing thc orator has given him a ial'ger audience 21nd enabled him to do a more extended work. AS long as there are human rights to he defended; as long :15 thcrc zu'c great interems to bc guarded; :15 long :15 the welfare of nations is a matter for discussion, 50 long will public speaking have its place. Augustana has recognized the paramount importance of public speaking in the preparation of the college student to meat the complcx demands of this age, In her curriculum courses are offEred in public speaking, debating 21nd oratory. Full callcgl: credii is given to students representing Augustzlm in intcr-collcginte debate. During the year Augustana has participated in two state uratoriczii cuntests. Intercollegiate dcbatcs have been staged with Monmouth College of Monmouth, Illinois, Iliiimis College: of Jacksonville, Illinois, Bradley Polytechnic Institute of Peoria, Illinois, and the Ionian Literary Society of the University of Illinois. The four college debating clubs have met in their annual inter-club debates, competing for the silver loving cup, offered by the Debating League. All forensic contests are arranged and controlled by the debating league. All members of the chstcr, Gladstonci Balfour and Edward Everett are members of this organization. The executive committc: of the debating league is composed of two representatives from each of the above mentioned clubs. Next yam: may sue a complete morganization nf debating :it Augustana. The present system of exclusive student control has its unsatisfying features. Plans are already on foot for th: creation of a Board of Control, similar to the Athletic Board of Control, in which student representatives will work in conjunction with representa- tives of the faculty and board in the furthering of all furcnsiCs at our institution. The plan should he a powerful factor in the elevating of this department of student activity. L. E.

A well indexed, authoritative encyclopedia is :1 much better storehouse of knnwlcdge, infinitely more comprehensive and retentive, mid procured for 4g a comparatively small amount of money and at almost a momentls notice. Of course. in the process uf education we do acquire the knowledge of some facts, fortunately, many of which we remember and make use of, while :1 great many more are also fortunately consigned to oblivion; but the real aim of education is to develop minds that will be able to use a vast store of knowledge intelligently, and to make a real man out of :1 potentiality. It seeks to discover for the student his possibilities and his limitations, holding up the former as :m encouragement, seeking to develop them to the full extent, in order that the man may be all that the Creator intended that he should he, while holding up the limitations as a warning against attempting something lying outside the range of his possibilities, thus seeking to save him from making a fool of himself. Education is the result of experience, and a college education is only concentrated experience. We crowd into thc space of a few years what it has taken many men many centuries to work out by laborious processes, pruhting both by their mistakes and their successes. That the class room should be able tu accomplish all this we see at once is an impossibility. Its sphere of activity is limited: it can nut extend to all individual cases, there can not be the most intimate association between student and professor, and the discussions can not be free and unlimited. The class room is the foundation for a college education, but it does not aim to be complete in itself, and the student who has not received more from his college course than he has received in the class room has received but a part of what the college can oiler. To complement this important part of the educational system we have our urganizutions, each following some particular line of work. In these the personal element is brought out more freely: the student pursues his favuritc subject in company with others who have similar interests, the discussions are more free than in the class rooms, and students and professors meet more an terms of equality. There are a number of these organizations at Augustana in all branches of school activity: religious, literary, scientific and musical. They are doing a great work, but have not yet by any means reached their maximum of usefulness. The results are good, but they'can he better if the work is encouraged, May they in the future meet with continued success, and be :1 great agent in the educational work of Augustana. ERNEST A. PALM. '15. Phrenokosmian ATER FAl-IHJAS cf the organizations is the Phrenoknsminn Literary Society. Organized the same year us the. school itself, it has always reflected the Augustnna spirit and has stood for the same principles as the institution itself. Its meetings are scheduled for every Friday evening, but of late it unhapp y seems to have hccn relegated to the position of a Hllcrn for vacant Friday evenings, so its work has been seriously hampered and the fruits of the organization have not been all that could be hoped for, but still they are not insignificant. One of the greatest advantages it affords its members is that of appearing in public in various capacities: in talks or addresses, in readings or in musical numbers. This is valuable training for any student, regardless of what work he has in view; and since officers are elected each month, many members have the opportunity of receiving parliamentary training that will stand them in good stead always. Both English and Swedish are employed in the Phrenokosminn, meetings being held alternately in each language. Let both the Phrcno and the Adelphic insist on their rights, and he allowed to meet regularly. Then we will see fruits worthy of mention. Adelphic OMPANIONSHIP :md sociability EIIC attainments that are necessary to the true student. Thu: class room can give him much - but it cannot greatly . develop his powers of amiahility and conversation. From books he receives, able to give as well as to receive. To have high thoughts and ideas and t0 comic;r and impress these effectively and fraternally-this should he the ideal. A literary society should enable the student to approach this ideal. Such a society's meeting should not be devoid of lgiving' elements, neither of lreceiving' elements. A society that could on a basis of literary thought stimulate to cultured conversation and companionship would be a great and effective factor in raising the level of true culture among the students. That our society is accompiixiziug such a purpose. we cannot claim. Unfortunately, a literary society, like all good things, is not always the most popular organization. Circtumtanccs often obstruct the pntll of attainment. Yet we believe that petsistency wins. WVe have faith in the purpose of our organization. X'Ve believe that it is capable of much. NVith such :1 faith, with persevering work, with intercstt we will continue tu progress 11nd cause the Adelpilic spirit to pervade the halls nf our Alma llztttr. 102 PHRENOKOSNIAN SOCIETY 103 AIJELPIJIC Sum IETY 59333.0 3.13 43915: .54.; 4.53333 .335 .5892 d d u: Eacznmham amtav A.:mam..m .0 .U .Eoiwuai 31.23: 5:8: .2 .U .miEaum .H. .m QEL .255 .3 .H 45$:sz A.

Under its directiun the college paper The Augustana Observer is issued. - The annual election of the TTOhserver:l staff, and officers of The Lyceum, which takes place in Decemhcr month, is one of the most interesting and exciting events of the school year. R'Icmhcrship in any one Of the three societies mentioned entities the student to a vote in the Lyceum. Then, if ever, the machine comes out and the political bosses get busy rounding up satellites and disinterested ones. Even the Hicair ones have been known to turn out en masse under the sweet persuasion of giib-tongued i:5tumpers,,' with promises of iicuter and fuller accounts in the sncicty columns. Excitement runs high; dark-horse armors and expert parliamentarians make things bir Incidentally mental reservations are made with regard to who ought to few:- sent Augustana in the forthcoming triangular college debate, the Peace Oratoricul Contest, and the Intercollegiate Prohibition Oratorimi Contest. There ain't :10 politics at Augustana, tho! All lecturers, readels, interpreters, impersonators. and other lj'ceum talent, appear under Lyceum management. This yearis course was composed of ten high class attractions. Seven of these were booked through the Redpnth Lyceum Bureau, one from the J. B. Pond Bureau, and two were the ever popular :lll-Augustana attractions: the XVennerherg Male Chorus and the College Orchestra Our aim is to make the Augustana Lyceum Course an educational institution of the highest merit. hVe select only such talent as can be depended upon to deliver the goods, make lusting impressions'i and serve as inspiratinnnf voices?l The course has been a decided success. Our patrons e students and townspeople e have expressed their eminent satisfaction with the talent, the splendid corps of ushers who have waited upon them, and the fair treatment accorded them by the management. To Mir. Knute Erickson, now serving his third year in the capacity at manager of our lyeeum course, is due special credit for the capable and satisfactory manner in which he handles it. The course this year was a thousand dollar venturek every seat in the huusc had to he sold to make it .1 success, and a success it has been! Several numbers have already been booked to rnext ycaris course. Among them are: Dr. Gunsaulus, Edward Amherst Ott, Loradu Taft, Ex-Governor Glenn of North Carolina, Zenola Maanren, The Bohumir Ktyl Musical Company, and The Clark Musical Company.

T is not possible to know just how and when music originated, but there are many reasons for believing that music in some form or other is coeval with man. The primary impulse of music seems to belong to mankind as a 7 whale, for it is known that in every part of the uncivilized world, from the Sauth Sea Islands around to the Americas, and from the equatorial zone far toward the poles, music in some form is practised. hinsic :unnng the primitive peuples was principally rhythmical; only as rhythmic sounds became embellished by vocal decorations did melody come into being. Harmony did not appear for a long time and was rarely used until the middle ages, the masters of the thirteenth to and including the fifteenth centuries being the first to develop it materially. As music became somewhat established and was generally practised, theorists appeared and reduced the art to science. It is said that as far bacl: as 2277 B, C. there were in China twenty-two writers on the dance, twenty-three writers on ancient music, and twenty-Hve 0n the constructiun of scales. In India, musical theory was developed to such a fine point that theorists recognized one thousand varieties of the scale, while mythology placed the number at sixteen thousandl However, in metisc only about twenty of these appear, varying with different localities and tribes. The Greeks and the annns considered music the most important of all the sn-cnlled humanities in their schools. The Greeks thought music was the foundatiun of all science, and it was said that iinothing great could he expected from a man who was ignorant of musicv Tradition in practically all countries of the world ascribes the origin of music to divine inspiration. ln Genesis, Jubal is called llthe father of all such as handle the ham and organ. The function of music has always been to excite and express feeling. NIusic is often spoken of as the language of the emotions. In the Old Testament WI: Fmd abundant testinluny that music was used fur the purpose of Clenting in man a feeling of awe, to induce ecstacy and a spiritual state proper for the reception of the message from on high, to bring to his consciousness whatever in him was divine. llEmution is the summit of existence, and music is the summit of emotion, the art pathway to God, says T. T. thnger. HMan rises higher than the animal. to the same degree that he is able to give expression to his emotions. Intellectual and moral ideas in n nation may 'u alt differ, but emotions of joy, sorrow, contentment, courage, and a certain degree of cxaltatlon are common to all and fmd their fullest expressian in music. To the Christian era belongs the truest and highest development of music, and it was Christian nations that htst brought music to a high degree of perfection. Music was the latest of the fine arts to reach maturity, but it is the one art which is particularly adapted to give expression to the emotional needs as developed by Christianity. Luther realized the influence of music and sang the Reformation into the hearts of the people far more effectively than he could have preached in HA schoolmaster, he says, llought to have skill in music, otherwise I would not regard him; neither should we ordain young men to the office at preaching unless they have been well exercised in the art, for it maketh a Ene people. Wagner found in music the conscious language of feeling, that which enables the sensual and realizes the spiritual. Space does not permit even a summary statement of the technical problems involved in bringing the science of music to its present stage of development. Suffice it to say that music, in all that it embodies, has become what it is. not by the miraculous inter- vention of a few great composers, but by the irresistnble momentum of large intel- leetunl and emutiunul forces that take hold of nations, periods and classes of mind. The nineteenth century showed not only an enormous expansion of the range uf ad- vanced musical art, but also a wonderful awakening of enthusiasm In various lines of musical education. The immense scope of the study of music is at once striking, and the responsibility that rests on all schools and teachers of music is certainly not small. There never was a time when so much thought and energy, so much time and money, were expended on music as today. In the ranks of the great number of institutions throughout the world, devoted to musical education, is the conservatory of our beloved Augustnna College. The aim of the Augustana Conservatory is to train its students to become intelligent listeners, to foster an art loving spirit in the institution as a whole, to become a positive Influence in this community, as well as in the synod, for the hast in music. to train church musicians, to equip students for teaching, tu puint out the way for those whose talents warrant a public career, in short, to serve as a true musical ministry. The fact that the Augustana Synod in its great endeavor to preserve and to spread zlht'oud pure Christianity has given so much attention to music, that it has established a musical department at its central institution of lenrning. leads one to believe that, as the work of the department became; better known, :15 the greatness of musical art hcmmes more appreciated, and :15 the great need of .1 real conservatory home Is more generally felt, there will he erected by the synod at the foot of Zion Hill a building that will at once he a monument to the high ideals and fmsightedness of our people and a veritable home fnr music, the hand-maid of religion.

He is pictured as a long-faced, although good natured, animal having an intellectml gait and always burrowing his way through the Latin and sole duty and only salvation. Why, do you not always ask him this question, Vtht are you going to make your life's wofk? and underneath it all you leave him to infer that he is the only person in the world whn is supposed to have :1 life's work. If you see him side step and dare to have an avncntiun, then you shudder for the future. If the eullege man or woman does not have a cut and dried program for every year of his life, he always holds himself open for the good things that came his way, sort of like the porcupine with a quill sticking each way ready for the plums-eand the dogs. He always believes in preparing himself generally, in developing all sides. of his nature. The grind may be alrightewe say that he may be alright and that he may make good L- but the grind does not typify the regular college man or woman. The regular callege student is 21 regular human being. And because he is :1 regular human being, he turns aside now and then from hie persistent hurrowing and grinding into a social way. Why, many of us never knew what it was to attend a real banquet before we entered college! How wonderfully we buys did look as we emerged for the first time in a full dress spike-tail'! How graceful we were! Then there were the young ladies, were they actually our friends? They seemed so differently made up, and the smiles seemed so alluring, and when we finally get acquainted and started to eat, then the extra knives and forks and spoons put us out of balance. But we wormed through it some way and the records in our diary now show these words, lanst Embarassing moment in history. The librarian smiled when we began to call for the volume HCorrect Social Usage, and how We slighted nui- Latin grammar during the next few weeks! But now that is shaved behind us long ago and far away and the various social cliques, circles, and ether organizations which have carefully developed the social side and tried to make us more like educated men 21nd incidentally shown us :1 l'CEll time once in a while, we say that :ill of these an: a part of our real education. At Augustann we do not have the idea that a good time is sinful. We do not have the dissipating dances and other social functions which are found in certain schools where the fraternity and sorority life has been seen at its worse, but we do have the social times and evocations. 139 w p...- igozcm 2222M... 140 iii EH94?

Afmmym' 0f Arhhtits 148 l6Those Terrible Swedesjg URING recent years Augustmta llZIS made rapid strides in all branches of athletics. We are now in :1 position to compete in three of the mafor sports. but the time is not fat distant when our institution shall also he represented . in football. It has been it long, hard struggle, and we are now glad that eur efforts him: been crowned with success. Our athletes are men, men who have fought hard every inch of the way, until they reached the final. goal, which places us on an equal lmsis with the strongest competitors of the conference. This is an achieve ment we feel proud of, an achievement which has not been acquired through idle pleasure. but by good, hard, consistent and faithful work, executed in the neverigit'eeup spirit. This is what wins ball games, yes, every kind of battle of life. The athlete must be made of the right stuff, if he is to represent his school successfully. He must live in a manner necessary tn show his efficiency. He must demonstrate tn the enthusi- nstic spectator that he is able to cope with the difficulties encountered in the athletic world. The athlete must live up to expectations or disappoint his followers. As in all walks of life, he must maintain a standard adequate to meet with the approval of the public If he fails, public sentiment is against him, which causes him to sink in estimation. It has taken us :1 long time to recover the strength lost in the abolishment of Intercollegiate sports some years ago, when Augustnnn demonstrated to the public, that she had one of the strongest football teams in the middle west. The men deserve the praises thrust upon them, for they worked hard and faithfully, using every atom of courage and ahility to win. We won, but then came the disastrous meeting of s; nudical fame, that sent all athletic prospects to the four winds. Our athletic sports took a decline' only- to be rescued again by some good, ardent friends and followers, Who realized the necessity of reinstating athletics. For a long time we were unable to compete with teams of college calibre. Our material was not developed sufficiently and Consequently we found uurselves very serinusly handicapped. Since the time athletics were reinstated, we have constantly struggled in the endeavor to again place our Alma Mater on a level with the best minor colleges with whom we have athletic relations. It has been :1 hard iight, that has cost us a great deal of patience and surplus energy. But our ehorts have not been wasted, for today we stand ready to defend ourselves in any of the mafor sports, excluding football. The quantity and quality of material are gradually developing. KVe lmve mnrc men to choose from! Which increases the possihilities for a stronger and better team. we hope that this progress will continue. May our hopes lie pleasantly realized. 27f ? X . q.- EDNA CURRY 151 BAH Foasuxc leekewenil UGUSTANA can feel proud of the teams, she has turned out in basketball during the last few years. The teams representing her have been composed e of men, who have given their best efforts to further the progress of this sport, which has aided our institution in acquiring its present standing. Since the arrival of Coach Conrad there has been a considerable change in the method of training. Every man has been compelled to qeep in condition thruout the basket- ball season. In this way the men have acquired endurance which has proved formidable in many instances, and especially when the occasion demanded it. Although we didngt fare as well as usual this year, we have no excuse to offer in consequence of our show- ing, as seemingly luck was against us. Overcoanence played its part in many games, which resulted in defeat. Our material was of the very best and lacked neither in quality hor quantity. Experience necessarily aids .1 playerei: gives him confidence and enables him to cope with the various situations as they come up during play. Several of our men were new in the game as far as Intercollegiate relations were concerned, and things of this kind naturally handicap the working of the team. Fellows taking part in any kind of game, must first learn its rules and its method of play. A man who has played for several years knows the tricks emplhyed to fool the new mameand this cam only be overcome by experience. A man can he coached, but he never benefits much from the advice of his coach until he himself experiences these thingSeand then he can apply himsclf according to the best of his ability. Practice and experience combined with ability and careful training make the great player. Several good, interesting games were played thruuut the season, contests which required the utmost taxation of mind and strength. These games were :1 credit to the inset as well as the winner, as it was merely a matter of fortune which team shnuid win. hVe feel exceedingly proud of the light shown in every game. ARTHUR SWEDH ERG tCnptuiIQ Swede has prayed center for his team during the past three seasons. This year he served in the capacity of a captain and fought hard to spur his team mates an to victnry. The big boy is grand and tall and fills his position With credit to himself and schoot His determination and grit have been essential factors in the winning of many games. Not only is nSwede a good player, but he is also popular with his team. mates. J0 EL HULTKRANS This husky northern youth must not be forgotten m- uaglectcd. Hult is a good flTSt class guard and possesses all the speed ncuessary to quality on any college team. He gets around the floor in fine style anti passes the hall with accuracy and shrewdness. It is not impussible for Hult to make a. basket, as he has demonstrated on various occasions. Huh;u is a heady player. CLARENCE SAMUIZLSON HSam has played a gnod, hard, consistent game at fnrwarrli He is an accurate basket shooter and much credit is due him for the number of games wan. He usually makes them when they count most. i'Sam is well liked by his team mates and works in harmony for their welfare. He broke into the first team last year at the latter part of the season. He still has several years to play. H JA LMAR BERG Berg has been one of the mainstays of the team ior several seasons. His huge physique enables him to play a game, that is impossible to a smaller man. He is a tower in strength and breaks up dribbling better than any man on the team A forward coming down the floor dribbling at top speed has not much chance of getting by, when Berg cnnfrnnts himt Bei'gis bones are well covered, so he does this without sustaining a serious injury. 154 LL'TIIER VALEXTINE Val plays a good, strong game at guard. He is fast and shiny on his feet and dribbles well, W731 also plays forward and played several goml games at this position, but it is conceded that he is a better guard. This was his 6rst year 011 the team, and with his experience he should prove :1 strong man on the aggregation of next year. EDGAR In: I xsox Eddie has played guard most of the season, where his efficiency has been shown. He also may: a good game at guard and center. Eddie is a utility man and the best all around man on the squad. He suffered in consequence of a broken fmgcr early in the season, and this injury troubled him more ur less thruout the seasun. Eddie is a good Sportsman, an honorable player and a gentle- man. HA KOLD ENSTAM hDip has been on the squad thruout the season and has always given the team his best services. He never failed to appear at practice and always responded to the commands of his coach. He played mostly at the forward position, tho he was used some as a guardh HDip deserves much credit for his faithful showing. CARI. W. ANDERSON C. W. is an athletic aspirant and won his place on the squad thru patience and consistent work. Training is a hobby with him, as he is alwayS in condition. This blond hoy showed up well at guard and fought to the last minute of play. He never shirkcd when in the game; he felt the responsibility of his position and the honor 01' Auguslana. We give Carl credit for his good work CLARENCE BmeERG Bloom played forward during the, hitter part of the seasnn and with much credit to himself and teanL He is small but his size does not prevent him from shooting baskets. He passes the ball well and shoot's baskets with accuracy. This is Blunmgs fxrst year on the team and he will prove a good man for the next year's squad. E LLIOT LVN r: ERG It isrrt always size that counts in athletics, fur Cub. who is but a midget, played forward the greater part at the season. The little fellow baffled the big guards with his quick side stepping and. accurate basket shooting Next year Elliot should qualify as a regular forward.

HARRIET DARLING Harriet enmes to us from the Rock Island high school, where she learned to play basket balL She is a good utility player and plays guard as well as forward. She has proven herseli to be a valuable asset to her team. CLARA SWEDEN BORG Clara is undoubtedly one at the best basket shooters that ever played an an Augustana team. She comes to us with a. reputation which she has lived up to. Clara is a clever player and shoots baskets with much accuracy. We hope to keep her leuugh her college years. LAURA ANDERSON For several years Torchy', has been one of the mainstays m' the team. She has nu superiors as a guard, Her strength enahles her to handle must any forward wiLll ease. Laura deserves a great deal of credit for the showing of the team. She is an aggressive player. a player that Iights until the game is over.

HCarp is a shitty player and deserves much credit 1'01: her showing this yeau We hope to retain her services for the next three years. Blanche is some guard. m V XE. URING recent years Augusmna has made a mark for herself in baseball. No records have been broken during this time, nor has the team attracted a glent deal of attention, but to prove the assertion I need only refer you to the statistim, which show that ilt least eightyrper cent. of the games are won each year. The aggregation representing us has not been made up of a bunch of individual stars, but at men who have worked hard tor the welfare of the team, Individuality has found no place as yet in the workings of our baseball machine, nor is it possible for such an accident to occur within the limits of the present season. We know from established facts that harmony is an essential thing on a ball team,-un :l successful realmennd you sacrifice une at the cost of the other. If you want individu- ality, you can't develop a winning mathine, for it is absolutely necessary to have the co-operatiuu of nine men, in order to win a ball game. This year our team has not been hitting in its usual form, but we are winning ball games and thnfs what counts. The hits come when they are most needed and then in a sufficient number to push the needed runs over the pan. VVe expect, and before very long, that every man wili End his batting eye, and then watch the H01d bail sail over the lot. Last year we won the amateur championship of the Tri-Citics by defeating the Velie Grays in a hard fought battle. This surprised many of the local fans, who never fully appreciated the real strength of the team. The college man is in training and has more life than the nxrerilge amateur, who pays little attention to his manner at living. He is in better condition to fight an up hill battle and win than a man who has irregular habits. Training has much to do with the winning of ball games and you tun be assured that the men wearing Augusmnn uniforms are men who have been subjected to discipline, carrying out every rule to the letter. Our success is largely due to our coach, who believes in enforcing- the rules necessary for efficiency. QUEEA. Ewes - IHEBLEMHSHS. RH! 161 ERIC ANDERSON lCapminl In her sturdy backstop Augie has found an ideal leader. Eric has a wonderful power at contrnlling and dix-enting men in conduct and achievement. He is an admit captain in that. he knows inside baseball from A to Z. He hats gondhhis lang two base drive in the Northwestern game with nBab and Binlr on perhaps sawed the day fur Augustana. His peg to second is out 9f the ordi- nary. EDGAR JOHNSON This is Eddie's secnml year on the team. He Comes to us as an outfielder and catcher, tho he has served us only in the former capacity. Owing. to our- need of pitchers we Enund it necessary to call the big boy in tram the outfield to do slab work. Here he has worked well, as his speed has humbled many aspiring hittersi Eddie is a. good hitter and hits the hall hard. He is possessed with gond baseball sense. which helps him as a pitcher. REUBEN HULTGREN For several years Rub has played the various positiuns in the outfieldl He is a hard player and deserves to be recognized for his faithful work. Occasionally he will startle the spectator with a sensational catch. This year will end his career at Auguslana. as we will lose him thm graduation. FRED RIAGHUSGN Fritz played center field the greater part at the season, the be displayed better ability in the infield. He is fast on his feet and throws accurate 1y. As a batter he was feared by his opponents because of his cool attitude at the plate and his long hits a: the right timel Altho not a big fellow, Fritz was all there KN UTE ERICKSON Knute is undoubtedly one at the best initial suckers in the conference. His height enables him to get throws that would in many cases result in errors to his team mates. He lights hard and never quits until the last man is out. Could this tall Aurorajte hit like he can field, we might find him performing in Comiskey Park. Knute is well schooled in the intricate points of first base tactics. EGNER LARSON In Egner we have a shortstop that causes the fans to sit up and take notice. His clever fielding and timely hitting have earned for him an undis- puted position on the team. He is a sun: helder and covers lots of territory. His team mates will not forget the unassisted double play in the Normal game at Bloomington, when the sturdy Dane saved his team from going down in defeat. ROBERT POLSON This year we were compelled to go without the services of itBob. as he met with an accident in basket ball that forced him to retire from his favorite pastime. Bob has served the team must- ly as a utility man during his school career. We wish him all kinds of good luck and that he may fully recover from the injury sustained in the tournament. ARTHUR MOLANDER Arthur. better known as Bink, has been a mainstay of his team. His first year was not extra- ordinaI'Y, hut. in 1914 he finished the season with a batting average of 500. He is a fast fielder and has saved his pitchers by his sensational catches of what seemed to be safe drives. This year he has been called to the mound where he hands them out in winning style. Biuk has good speed and a flue assortment of curves. .,...., -,.. -f.r-I CARL ANDERSON tConcM This year the team was very fortunate in 01; taining the services of Mn Anderson, who for sev-i eral years has been the premier pitcher of Grinnell College. His experience in baseball has been wide and varied. He believes in discipline and compels every man to toe the mark. He has developed an infield that constitutes one nf the fastest combina- tions that ever performed on Augustana's diamond. Mr. Anderson is a thorough gentleman and com- mands the respect of his players. He is a fellow, who is very popular with the students. EBEN' FORSLING Bab the diminutive second baseman has proven himself to he a valuable asset to our team, His small stature does not interfere with his fielding. He receives throws with the ease and. certainty oi a fmislled hall player. Bah shows the old fight that is necessary to a. successful career. He fills the position left open by Stan's graduation in admirable style. GUNNAR NELSON Gunnar Nelson has played right iield thruout the season and has shnwn up well both in fielding and batting. i'Gun redeemed himself in the Carthage game when he ran back and speared a drive that was good for three bases; This hap- pened in the ninth inning with two men on and two out. Last year he was a substitute on the regular squad. T Track Squad 1915 Juucs Jouxsoy. Capmin HJALMAR BERGH HJALMAR FRYXELL JOHN MOLANDER LUTHER VALENTINE CARL L. LARSON C. W.

Mumxnnk Rinks Molander has the enviable distinction of being the fastest man on our track team; In 1915 he distinguished himseu, when he demon- strated his ability by running the hundred yards in ten flat, defeating his nearest opponent by several feet. John takes part in all the dashes, but he excels himself in the hundred, He is a gem sport and lives the life of an athlete. ART l-IIJR SWEDDERG Swede occupies his time putting the shut. and hurling the discus. The big boy does this with a great deal of credit to himself and school. Last year Swede threw the discus with much et- fmiency and should profit from a year's experianne. We are looking forth to the time when he will break all records of the conference. CLARENCE JOHNSON Clarence has been a loyal athlete to the track team since his enrollment new four years ago. He is an all-round man of good qualities and ef- ficiency. He never broke any records, but he was always there with a few points, earned by hard work. This is his last year, as he enters the medical field next year. 166 HJAIMXIAR BERG Berg has represented us as a strong man for sew eral years. He puts the shot halter than any man at school. With a little more experience Berg shunld he our.- of the best shot putters in the State 'He has the size and the strength, hut has not had sufficient experience. However, Berg has several years yet to demonstrate his ability. CHARLES CDRDS Cords has as much endurance as any man on the team. For several years he has represented us in the 440, the half mile, and the mile, with much satisfaction to the school. He has been on the team long enough to prove his value and with his present experience should make a good man in the next meet. ALEXANDER ELMBLAD Elmblad has not performed any sensational wnrh aroumi the college-but in his endeavors he has always given the team the best that was in him. He takes part in all the sprints and with the assistance of his coach ought to make some kind. of n mark for himself. He is willing and that's half the battle. C. H7. ANDERSON Perhaps no man spends more time in the held or athletics, than C. W. Carl has worked hard in the interest of his team. He trains well and is always in condition.

The men who have represented the various class teams have demonstrated that they have football ability, and it is just a question wha would qualify on the varsity eleven. The men have developed wonderfully since Class football was first agitatEd and it remains unly with the men who represent us at the Synodical meeting whether we shall have this game reinstated at Augustann, At the present time every effort is being made in order to establish var: y faotball. The game has made considerable progress since we were denied its privileges a year ago, when this matter was First hrought forth for cunsidemtion. XVc cannot but feel in our endeavors, that football is essentially a college sport and should have a place in our college lifci No athletic luver would ever protest fuathnll. No man who has ever played fuothzill will deny these privileges to his son or will he condemn a student, who is striving zealously to reinstate football at his college. He deserves to he recognized in his appeals, and no logical reason can be given why he shouldn't be given a thomugh hearing. He is as truly representative of his institution, as are the men, who are privileged to voice their opinions in matters pertaining to the progress of his college. It is hard for a man wha has never participated in athletics to speak intelligently on football, and he should therefore listen to the advice of his wiser brother, who thru experience has learned the game 0f hitting the line hard. l-Vhat he learned in football has qualified him for a better and stronger career. It llasll,f weakened him, as so many contend, but rather has proved to be his making, He looks back to hit. football days with pride.

FORGET LES? WE 182 In Conclusion N the pruduction of this hook it has been our supreme purpose to delineate 3 H the life of Augustana College and Theological Seminary during the past year as it really is. We as :1 staff conscientiously feel and believe that we t' have realized this one purpose. The lift in and the hopes and ideals of the five departments which constitute Augustana are in this book adumbmtedi Their love, thcir thoughts, their activities, yea, even their rankling discards and dissensions are herein unctringly recorded. We nspersc the motives of no one who has seen fit to work counter to us. Those individuals and those combinations of individuals have not defeated our purpose t they have only shown their true relations to Augusmna, and in that relation they are on these pages truly portrayed. Thu production of this book, as it is. wnuld not have been possible, but for their unconscious co-opetation. Vie take this occasion to give expression of our appreciation of the assistance given us by Professors C. E. Lindberg. E. F. Bartholomew, and Algert Anker. Their rich literary contributions have lenhnnced the value of this book in no small degree. We are also indebted for the frontispieces made for us by Einar Bergstrum, Carl Enchuske, Arvid Hum; Eben Forsling, nnd Elliott Lundberg. This work was done gratuitously and we owe them thanks. Go forth, then, Rucket-i'il, 1915! Go forth into the length and breadth of this land with thy message 7 that on Zion Hill stands :1 mighty institution of Christian learning i where young men and women gather to learn t to get that they might give. THE STAFF OUR ADVERTISERS make it possible for us to publish this book. With- out their aid we would face a large deficit, and this would make future annuals impossible. And they will not advertise with us unless we show our appre- ciation and patronize them in return. If we wish to continue the practice of issuing an annual each year, we must show this appreciation, . This issue of THE ROCKETY-I goes to press with less advertising space than usual. This is due partly to business. depression, but also to the fact that this past year several organizations have or- dered goods from out-of-town firms without even asking local concerns to submit bids, and they naturally feel offended. If this practice is kept up we must expect to sacrifice the support of our local advertisers, and this will leave us without school pubiications. These local concerns do not resent the fact that they do not get the business as much as the fact that they are not given the opportunity of com- peting for the business in the open market, together with the other concerns. They are confident that if they were given this chance they could convince us of their superior quality of goods and lower prices - a fact to which experience testifies h with the additional advantage of being accessible to an- swer possible complaints, and adjust them properly without inconvenience. in justice, then, to our advertisers and to our- selves, let us try our local firms first; we need never regret such a course, Respectfully, MANAGEMENT, ROCKETY-l 1915. ROCK ISLAND the seat of Augustana College and Theological Seminary, is the center of the famous Quad-Cities, the great come mercial and manufacturing center of the Mississippi Val- ley. Located among the hills bordering on the HFather 0f Waters, at the mouth of Rock River, in the center of a rich agricultural district, with an abundant coal supply, conveniently near, and water power furnished by the rivers, the City has 2111 the natural advantages that cauld he asked. The advantages nature has furnished have been added to by man: three great railroads, interurban lines, the Hennepin Canal, improvements in the river navigation; all of which aid in furnishing Rock Island exe ceptional transportation facilities. All of these advantages have been fully utilized. The city boasts many great factories whose products are shipped to all quarters of the Globe. On the beautiful island in the river Uncle Sam has located his largest Arse- nal, which gives employment to thousands of men. The railroads use the city as a division point, affording em- ployment to many more men. Rock Island has also all the necessary facilities to supply the commercial and retail needs of her population: hanks, large department stores that are able to satisfy even the most fastidious, and smaller stores Conveniently located. A fine street railway system, with tine modern cars, electric and gas lighting system, and water supply,' add to the comforts of the people. The parks and boulevards, public school; a thoroly modern high school, and higher institutions of learning, such as Aug'ustaua and the Villa de Chantal for girls only, libraries, churches, Y. M. C A., are among the other ad, vantages the city affords. Rock island is under the commission form of govern- ment, a mayor and .1 board of four commissioners. having the government in hand, giving the city the best possible management. Considering all of these advantages, it is with pardohable pride the city urges the people to ttTRY ROCK ISLAND FIRST. 185 MI.
