Enrvmnrh We have earnestly sought to publish an Annual portraying the various parts played by our college in these momentous times. ONWARD! DEMOCRACY! ONWARD! This has been our watchword and the principle upon which we have tried to build the 1919-1920 Rockety-I. May it serve as a monument to commemorate the patriotism, the loyalty and the devotion which Augustana has shown during these days of labor and sacrifice. Pay: Tm
