The editor of this boolc did not promise a bigger or better or different annual. l'le has tried, however, to edit a boolc which would be attractive to loolc at, a bools which would be enjoyed during those few days of reading. l-le has tried by the use of color to brighten the pages to some extent and by the use of a diagonal movement to malce the boolc fit into one scheme. l-le has tried to malce this Jubilee edition as representative a one as possible. q -l-his edition of the RCDCKETY-l was not published for the purpose of startling the world with its uniqueness, but rather to fill its place on the shelf as attractively as possible. perhaps if it does lool4 attractive, some friend or stranger may pluclc it from its place and in turning the pages read and see something of that ffgrand old school upon the hills which is ours. 444 . fn: ATJ, ..- AND WHAT IT CONTAINS ANNIVERSARY SECTION .III I I.

GUsrAv ANDREEN ' About three hundred years ago Gustavus Adolphus of Swe- den conceived the idea of establishing a Swedish colony in the New IVorld. His heroic death at Liitzen in 1632 seemed to put an end to his plans, but his daughter, Queen Christina, with the advice of the great statesman, Oxenstjerna sought to realize the hopes of the dead king. In 1637 Swedish colonists, the Pilgrim Fathers of the North , sailed from Gothenburg to America in two ships, Kalmar Nyckel and Fogel Grip, which arrived at the Delaware River in the middle of March, 1638. Fort Christina was founded and, during the years immediately following, settlements were made at Philadelphia, VVilmington and other neighboring places. From the first, Swedish Evange- lical Lutheran ichurches were founded, the first clergyman being R. Torkillus from Skara and Gothenburg. The colonists dealt with the Indians in a friendly and fair spirit and won their con- fidence. The first missionary among the Indians in America 1 was Johannes Campanius during the year 16413-16448, who began his work even among the aborigines. Campanius learned the language of the Indians and translated Luther's Catechism, with explanations, into their tongue, a copy of which translation is found in the library of Augustana College and Theological Seminary. The descendants of those Swedish colonists took part in the Revolutionary VVar and in the forming of the Government of the United States. One of these, John Morton, cast the decisive vote by which Pennsylvania in the Continental Congress joined the other colonists in the Declara- tion of Independence, and was one of the signers of that act. Another descendant of these pil- grim Swedes was John Hanson, the first president of Congress under the Constitution of 1789. The children of these colonists have taken active part in the upbuilding of their states. The virtual founder of Pennsylvania University was Charles Stille, a colonial Swede, and some of the chancellors have claimed Swedish colonial descent. Augustana College and Theological Seminary was officially represented at the sesquicentennial celebration of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia, and also at the dedication of the John Morton and John Hanson Memorial Building in Philadelphia on June 6, 1926. The great tide of emigration from northern continental Europe did not begin, however, till the years between 18440 and' 1850. The pioneers who then came made their way mainly to the northern Mississippi valley, founding their homes in the large unsettled tracts of northern Illinois and Iowa, later in Wisconsin, Minnesota and other states. These immigrants had been members of the Lutheran Church in the mother country, and were as a rule a religious and churchly people, wishing to retain their religious heritage on the new soil. Earnest, pious men came over as pastors, and Lutheran congregations were early established among the Swedes and Norwegians. At the organization of the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Northern Illinois in 1851, several Scandinavian pastors were present and took part in the organization. The scattered Scandinavian and American Lutherans in this section of the country were thus joined in one synod. The Scandinavians in- creased rapidly and before 1860 they constituted about one-half of the synod, and formed three separate conferences. This synod and other Lutheran bodies in the VVest established a school, known as the Illinois State University, at Springfield, Illinois, for the special purpose of educating Lutheran ministers. At a meeting of the synod in 1855, the question of establishing a Scandina- vian professorship at the University was favorably considered, and at a subsequent meeting a resolution to establish such a professorship was adopted, and Rev. L. P. Esbjiirn, the first of the pioneer pastors, was elected to the chair. He entered upon his duties in the fall of 1858, and served two years, having among his pupils Qin the subject of Mathematicsj the son of Abraham Lincoln, who sometimes consulted with Esbjiirn concerning his son's studies. Prof. Esbjorn re- signed this professorship in the spring of 1860. Differences with regard to the doctrinal basis of the synod existed from the beginning between the Scandinavian and American members. Pro- 4410 PD fessor Esbj6rn's resignation brought matters to a crisis. The Scandinavians met in convention in Chicago, Illinois, April 23-27, 1860, and after long deliberation unanimously resolved on April 27 Cwhich date is therefore celebrated at Augustana as Founders' Dayj to organize a synod for them- selves and to establish a theological seminary of their own. The organization of the synod, which was to be known as the Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod, was completed at a subsequent convention held at Jefferson Prairie, near Clinton, Vlfisconsin, June 5-11 the same year. It is to these meetings that Augustana College and Theological Seminary traces its origin. It was for three years located at Chicago, the instruction mainly being given in the old church then located on Superior Street, between VVells and LaSalle Streets. These were years of hardship for the young institution. The call of Abraham Lincoln for volunteers in the Civil VVar was heeded by some of the students and by many who otherwise would have become students at Augustana, two of the sons of President Esbjorn enlisting in the army. In 1863, when Prof: Esbjorn resigned, the institution was moved to Paxton, Illinois, where Prof. T. N. I-Iasselquist became its head, which position he retained till his death in 1891. The institution was incorporated under the laws of Illinois in 1863 and named Augustana College and Seminary, and afterward by a special act of legislature in 1865, a charter was granted which was amended by a supplementary act by the same body in 1869, since which time the institution has been known by its present name. In 1870 the Norwegians withdrew and organized a separate synod and established an institution of their own. Instruction was given both in Seminary and College subjects from the very beginning. Every year from 1861 students were sent forth from the Theological Seminary to enter the work of the ministry of the Augustana Synod, the school being able to supply only in part the ever growing needs of the Church. The Hrst graduating class from the College department received the degree of A.B. in 1877, since which time this has been an ever growing department of the in- stitution. , In 1887 the Conservatory of Music was added, and the following year a Business Depart- ment was organized. The Normal Department was established in 1891. In connection with the Conservatory of Music a School of Art was established by the Board of Directors in 1895. The courses of instruction in the Theological Seminary were gradually made to embrace two years, and from 18741 there were two regular classes in the Seminary until 1891, when the Synod increased the course to three years. Many departments of instruction have gradually been established in the College proper. All subjects in the College are taught in English. Augustana College belongs to the North Central Association and as a first-class American college fulfills the requirements of this association. It is also on the approved list of the Association of American Universities and is given Class A rating by University of Illinois. The first president of the institution was Prof. L. P. Esbjtirn, who served during the first three years. VVhen the institution was removed to Paxton, in 1863, Dr. T. N. Hasselquist, who had just accepted a,call to a new congregation at that place, was appointed president and filled this position until his death in 1891. Dr. 0. Olsson was elected to succeed him. He served until his death, May 12, 1900. Dr. C. W. Foss served as Acting President until the summer of 1901, when Dr. Gustav Andreen, of Yale University, was elected to the presidency. The institution as a whole has always been open to students of good moral character, without regard to language, race or creed. Women students were allowed to attend instruction in the various classes but were not matriculated until 1886. Of the students in the Theological Seminary 1,284+ have been ordained to the holy ministry. In the Collegiate Department 1,531 have been graduated with the degree of A.B., and 410 with the degree of B.S. In the Academy Department Cdiscontinued 1931j, 1,235 have completed the course, the Conservatory of Music numbers 519 graduates, and the Commercial Department 1,2941. The graduates of the present year are not in- cluded in any of the above figures. Buildings and Grounds Augustana College is located in Rock Island, midway between the center of the citics of Rock Island and Moline. The campus consists of about thirty-nine acres, situated in part on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi valley. Let us take a view of the buildings.

It still contains the Cafeteria, Class Rooms for the Department of Com- merce. In the early days it served for living quarters for both professors and students. The Main Building was completed in 1888. It is a stone structure of pure Renaissance style. It has three stories and basement, containing lecture rooms, the chapel, and Cable Hall, which is so called in memory of P. L. Cable who donated a large sum for the completion of this building. It now also contains the offices of the Dean and of the Registrar. The Denkmann Memorial Library, dedicated in 1911, is a gift of the institution from the sons and daughters of the late Mr. and Mrs. F. C. Denkmann of Rock Island. It is one of the most beautiful Library buildings that any college possesses. The ground floor contains a lecture room, a memorial hall, administration offices, etc. The second floor contains the large main read- ing room extending across the whole front, 120 feet long by 48 feet wide. It also has the present offices of the Library Staff. On the third Hoor is a large room which has been set apart for the Museum and for the collection of books donated by Consul G. N. Swan of Sioux City. The rear of the building consists of Stack-rooms for 100,000 volumes. X ' The two Seminary Buildings were dedicated in 1923 at the time that Archbishop Nathan Soderblom of Sweden visited Augustana. The one building is devoted to instruction, administra- tion, library and worship. The chapel on the second story directly above the library, has a. seat- ing capacity for two hundred people. It has a deep chancel with a large art glass window repre- senting the Ascension of Christ. The organ was installed with means furnished by the students as a memorial to the former dean, Dr. C. E. Lindberg. Of the seven classrooms one has been set aside for the library presented to the institution by the late Professor N. Forsander. The cloister, connecting this building with the dormitory is a Gothic arcade about eleven feet wide with seven arches on the north side. The residence building contains rooms for the students. The social room, in which the students may gather for relaxation and pleasure, has a large fireplace and is very comfortably furnished. There is also a dining room in the south end of the building with seating capacity for ninety persons. The adjoining kitchen is well equipped for the preparation of meals. In the second story is a small suite of rooms set aside for the janitor. The large Gymnasium Building, completed in beginning of 1917, is a one story building with basement, of brick and steel construction, size 90 by 1410 feet.

A good pipe organ is also installed. Many noted speakers and singers have appeared here and the Synod has met in this place on several occasions. The former VVoman's Building, near the East side of the grounds, has been remodeled for use by the School of Music. Thanks to the interest in our Synod and to the efforts of the VVoman's Missionary Society, supplemented by the Appeal made by the college, a New Woman's Building was erected during 1927-28. The structure is built of Bedford limestone with a roof of black Bangor slate. On the first Hoor is the large living room, -My by 22 feet, and 18 feet high, with large arched windows, at either end of the room is a fireplace. In addition the first floor has of- fice room, cloak rooms, quarters for the Dean of lrvomen, guest rooms and students' rooms. In this building we may house more than a hundred women students. Ericsson Hall is a large residence building located in Ericsson Park. It has for many years been used for Chemistry and Physics Laboratories. The Wallberg Hall of Science is now being completed which is located 250 feet south of the Denkmann Library. We feel happy that this splendid building was erected even during times of depression by the generous testamentary gift of Mr. Emil Wallberg and Miss Marie VVallberg of Toronto, Canada. The dimensions are 4-9 x 115, with excellent classrooms and laboratories for the various departments of Science occupying three stories. There is also a full basement for storage and other purposes and a large attic space. This building will be dedicated at the seventy-fifth anniversary of Augustana College on June 7, 1935. G. A.

Lars paul Esbjorn C1808-18705 The first Augustana president was born in Helsingland, northern Sweden in 1808. At an early age the boy showed an eagerness for study when attending the gymnasium at Gefle. His special interests there in- cluded mathematics, science, astronomy and navigation. After graduation from Gede, Esbjorn entered the University of Upsala, and at 241, he was ordained as a minister. During the following three years we find him as the assistant pastor of the parish of Ostra VVahla in the province of Uppland. Following this he became the chaplain of a large manufacturing establishment, and later a school-teacher in the parish of Hille for fourteen years. During these years in Sweden, Rev. Esbjtirn was an ardent and aggressive worker for the cause of tem- perance. His great activity for this movement aroused enmity among certain factions. VVe find that the great spiritual revival was taking place in Sweden in the 30's, and Dr. Esbjorn became imbued with the spirit of this movement, having held pietistic views despite opposition. ' In 1849 a group of 150 people decided to charter a vessel and sail for America to make their home. At the request of the Swedish Mission, Society, Rev, Esbjorn followed the emigrants in order to look after their spiritualneeds in the new country. They decided to settle in Andover, Henry County, Illinois. There fol- lowed a period of hardship due to the cholera epidemic, economic difficulties, as well as to the scattered and unsegregated state of the Swedish people in America. In spite of the hardships, the minister organized church- es in Galesburg, Moline, Henderson, and Princeton, acting as the visiting pastor. His parish extended over about fifty miles at this time. Rev. Esbjtirn undertook the responsibility of obtaining funds for church buildings, and through his ef- forts, a sum of 552,200 was realized of which 81,500 was contributed by Jenny Lind. The churches at Andover and at Moline were built by this fund. Rev. Esbjiirn remained at Andover until 1856, after which he served the pastorate at Princeton for two years. In 1858, Rev. Esbjiirn was elected professor of theological subjects, Swedish language'and literature, mathematics, and science at Springfield. In 1860 he resigned and left for Chicago. The Conference at Chicago decided to establish an independent Scandinavian Lutheran body which was the beginning of the Augustana Synod. The Lutheran Seminary was opened in Chicago with Esbjorn as the first president, and professor. He was profoundly interested in the sciences, particularly astronomy, phy- sics, and chemistry, and labored diligently for the founding of the school and Synod. Rev. Esbjorn returned to Sweden in 1863 as the pastor of the parish at Ostra Vahla, where he lived until his death in 1870, beloved and respected. i Rev. Tufve Nilsson l-lasselquist, D. D. C1816-18915 Tufve Nilsson Hasselquist was born on March 2, 1816, in the parish of Ousby, in the province of Scania. His life as a student at Kristianstad and Lund was marked by ambition, but little pecuniary backing. He completed his theological studies and was ordained in the State Church of Sweden, following which he served in the parishes of Efverlop and Glemminge. He was influenced by the religious awakening , showing early a pietistic tendency. Hasselquist was active in the temperance movement, touring the country and speaking for the cause. In 1852 a call was extended to him from the congregation at Galesburg, Illinois. Rev. Hasselquist ac- cepted the call although he knew that it would mean hardship and suffering. Indeed, the conditions were un- fortunate, for the Swedes were poor, there was no church building, and many of the settlers had embraced other faiths. Despite these facts, the congregation increased from a mere handful to 360 members. In 1855 he began the publication of I-Iemlandetn which he planned to be both political and religious. Later he published an entirely religious paper called Ratta Hemlandet , and through these two publications he exerted an inestimable influence. He believed in the separation of church and state, and toleration toward other denominations. He was active in the forming of the Augustana Synod, and in 1863 he succeeded Rev. Esbjorn as president of Augustana College. During the twenty-eight years of his presidency, Dr. Hasselquist led an exemplary life of faith, hope, and love. He was vitally interested in the building up and maintaing of a center of religious education, hav- ing for his ideal the realization of complete American collegef' Through his tireless efforts and ceaselcss labor, Augustana College and Seminary came to be well established. Rev. Hasselquist was the editor of .-lfzzyfustaizrl, the leading religious organ of the Swedish Lutheran Augustana Synod. He remained in his position as president until his death in 1891. 8 it Seuss 'Se-A-it' as P . W l .- -' .' 7 '-'-f- ' 'z -. . ' P- L A. ' K f ' 4- 1 h If fftq is zif.,::. -,gr 'JH .fi .

He began his ad- vanced studies at a missionary institute in Stockholm in 1858. In order to prepare himself for work in the foreign mission field he spent two years at Leipsiz, Germany. VVhen his intention was not realized he re- turned to Sweden and graduated from the University at Upsala in 1861. Subsequently, he decided to study theology, and in 1863 he was ordained. During the following six years he labored in the State Church of Sweden. In the year 1869 he came to America with a company of friends who hoped to better their condition in America, settling in central Kansas at Lindsborg. Not only was he an able minister to the spiritual and temporal needs of the pioneer settlers, but we Iind that he was sent to the Kansas legislature, and served two terms in this capacity. In the year 1875 he received a call to become a professor at Augustana College, which he declined. How- ever, in the following year he received a second call which he accepted. Thus for nearly a quarter of a cen- tury, except for a few brief periods, he was connected with this institution. Dr. Olsson took a five months' tour through England, Germany and Bohemia in 18'79.Resigning his position at Augustana in 1888, he as- sumed connection with Bethany College in Kansas. Again in 1889 he visited Europe, and upon his return, ac- cepted a call as the minister of the Lutheran Church at Vfoodhull, Illinois. He was elected the president at Augustana College in 1891, and assumed his duties in this capacity in that year. The Board of Directors decided to confer upon him the Degree of Divinity in 1892. In addition to his educational work, he was busily engaged in writing articles, and was an active contributor to the vari- ous church papers of the Synod. He was distinguished also as the author of various works of great value including: At the Cross , Greeting from Abroad , Christian Hopen, and To Rome and Home Again . As a popular orator he was held in high esteem. His sudden death in May 1900, while acting president of Augustana was a shock to his friends and students. Rev. Gustav Albert Andreen CI 864- D The present head of Augustana College is Reverend Gustav Albert Andreen, Ph.D., R.N.O., D.D. He was born at Porter, Indiana, on March 13, 1864, but received his early education at Swedona, Illinois. At the age of 11, he entered the preparatory department at Augustana, and in six years graduated at the head of his class. Following his graduation in 1881 to 1884, Dr. Andreen was a teacher at Augustana, preparing himself to be a lawyer. In the years 1886 to 1893 he served as a teacher in Bethany College, teaching English, German, and Greek. He decided in 1894 to enter Yale University in order to study for the degree of Doctor of Phil- osophy which he received in 1898. While at Yale, he was instructor in German, and in 1898 he was called to the professorship of Norse and Scandinavian languages and literature at that University. In order to prepare himself for this position, Dr. Andreen spent two years at the University of Upsala, Sweden, and Christiania, Norway, besides making a tour through Germany. Dr. Andreen assumed his new duties at Yale in 1900, and this was the same year that Dr. Olsson, the president of Augustana died. During the following year, Dr. Andreen was unanimously elected president of the college, being installed on October 17, 1901. His far-seeing vision ascertained the needs of the insti- tution, and he began to make provisions for putting the school upon a solid financial basis. He journeyed to Sweden to enlist the sympathy of leading men. The result of the campaign was the subscribing of 120,000 crowns for a professorship at Augustana known as Oscar II, in honor of the King who was among the donors. During the subsequent years, Dr. Andreen has been extremely active in raising endowment funds, a Jubilee Fund , and various campaigns. It is his perseverance and enterprise that have brought to reality the erection of the Auditorium, Theological Seminary, XVomen's Building, and the Denkman Memorial Library. - In 1929, Dr. Andreen and wife made a trip to Europe and the Orient. Although these years have been unusually active, Dr. Andreen has found time to study, read and write. He was elected to Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary scholastic fraternity. In 1933, he attended summer school at the University of Chicago after which he published the volume, Studies in Lutheran Higher Education , During this year, Dr. Andreen has assumed the task of preparation for the Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the founding of Augustana. In connection with the Jubilee, Dr. Andreen has published The Story of Augustana College and Theological Seminary? Vast evidence of his success as a leader is shown through the love and sincere admiration of all students, professors, and friends with whom he has come in contact through the years. 448145, RELIGICDUS LIFE AI AUGLJSIAINIA By KENNETH FARB Religious life at Augustana is not a number of organizationsg it is ., community of young souls. The founders of Augustana believed that religion and education go hand in hand. They favored the simultaneous development of all of the powers with which man is endowed, not least among these powers is that of the Spirit. The Lutheran church is an educating church. Its theory is that of bringing the masses to the highest intellectual level possible. . Augustana College, as the synodical school of a body of two hundred and fifty thousand Luth- erans, is an important part of the church. It prepares young men and young women for life, it places them on an intellectual level equal with students who have attended a state University for the same amount of time. In addition to this it fortifies the spiritual life. This is important in the agerof the new confusion of tongues . Buchmanism tempts students by flattering their intel- ligencen, and by promoting house parties. Theosophy is attempting to introduce oriental Indian paganism in America, so-called Christian Science is doing the same. The Russelites preach election and spread chaos among young Christians, many other really pagan forces are at work among our educated classes. Augustana, as a church college, offers a balanced, adequate curri- culum in a'Christian environment. A professor in a state school found that eighty-four per cent of his freshmen believed in a personal Godg four years later only sixty per cent had such a faith .... Augie has had a Christianity chair since it was founded .... The first American Bible was printed two hundred years before Augustana was foundedg it was printed in the Indian language. . . . . There were thirty-six members of the men's Bible class at Augustana in 1924. . . . In 1922 only one of the fourteen members of Sola Fide wore oxfords for best, the other thirteen used twenty-four inch shoe laces and high tops .... Augustana students helped to distribute the 7,800,766 Bibles, testaments and portions of the Bible distributed by the American Bible Society in 1934 .... In 1905 there was an active tract society at August- ana .... Over the total period of years the entire Bible has been studied and re-studied about twenty-five times in campus Bible study classes .... On jan. 31, 1935, two weeks before the jubilee Conference, 421 delegates Were registered for the Conference .... Eight students from Augustana attended the Student Volunteer Convention in Buffalo, N. Y., 1933 .... Berean sent a Christmas box to George Anderson in Africa in 1930 .... Seven- ty-tive churches in Moline and Rock Island welcome Augie students .... The Augustana Choir broadcasts 'over the national hook-up of both the NBC and the Columbia network. The agency of contact of religious activities with other general departments of the college, and with other colleges, is the Religious Board. It directs and plans all collegiate religious activi- ties and aims to present an organized schedule for each year, sufficient, and yet not too heavy, to meet the demands of the spiritual life of a student during the crucial college years. This Board is composed of the President of the college and the three deans, the professors of Christianity and a representative of each of the student organizations. This Board was organized ten years ago and has served a definite need on the campus. It has direct charge of Sunday afternoon vespers and weekly prayer meetings. The parish of Ching Wang, Chinese pastor, graduate of our seminary, '33, is Yenshih, Honan, China .... Dr. E. E. Ryden was Va first bass in the Wennerberg Chorus of 1914. . . . . Isagogics was a course in the Christianity department back in the 1880's. . . . If Berean girls have eaten as regularly as they do today they have eaten about two thousand dozen rolls on Sunday mornings since the class was founded .... A Student Volunteer Band was organized at Augie in 19183 it had fourteen members .... The Church His- tory text in 1897 had three volumes .... Twenty students attended Augustana last year who had no church connections whatsoever .... Christianity was once under the Swedish department. Sola Fidc Bible class for men was organized in 1920.

'- ' Bible classes on the campusg two have ceased to exist. At one time Sola Fide held its meetings in Old Main, later in the School of Music building, this year its meeting place was moved to one of the seminary lecture rooms. Tot Gustafson, senior seminarian, has led the class this year in studies in the book of Romans. Roland Johnson has been the president, Eric Hohner has served as pianist. Other men who have led devotions and attended class regularly are Elton Johnson, Elton Anderson, Paul Karlstrom, Frank Johnson, Harry and Franz Victorson, Constantine Trued, Philip Trued and Virgil Larson. Berean Bible Class for girls was organized in 1917. It has met regularly in the Women's Building at nine-fifteen o'clock. Various members have led in devotions and in preparing the Berean Breakfast, which is served every Sunday morning just before the meeting of the class. Berean was preceded by what might have been called Sunday School for girlsv, which was led by the Dean, of VVomen or the wife of a professor. A During the last year Miss Clara Holterman has been an excellent leader. By means of topi- cal study she has increased the girls' appreciation of the Bible and its significance. During Lent the girls held devotional meetings nightly. Presbyterians, Methodists, and Congregationalists rank next to Lutherans in student constituency .... A photograph of the art studio in the annual of the year 1900 shows three pictures of Christ .... Fifteen hundred young people attended the .Luther League jubilee Victory Conference at Augustana this year .... Nine members of Sola Fide in 1919 served overseas in the War .... About thirty-live percent of the seminarians meet their future Wives at Augustana .... Ninety-three per cent of Augustana students hold membership in protestant churches .... About fifty students attended the Bible class in 1878 .... The oldest and the largest campus organization is the Foreign Missionary Society. It was organized in 1886, incorporated in 1895, and has since steadily grown in membership until now it has a total of well over two thousand. Since it was organized it has contributed over seventy- six thousand dollars to the cause of foreign missions. During the year 1923, 317,331.55 was col- lected. The average attendance at Mission Study class the past year has been seventy-five. The Class was organized in 1901. A, museum was established this year in the seminary building. Next year marks the fiftieth anniversary of the Society. Two buildings were built by this Society: a church at Samulcot, India and the Hasselquist school at Hsuchang, China. The theme of the Concordia Society for this year was The Lutheran Pastor's Career. The lecture series opened on November 1, when Rev. G. Fred Andree presented The Pastor and His Soul , later Mr. Ottoe Leonardson spoke on Practical Hints to the Pastor , Dr. C. E. Bengt- son, The Pastor in the Home of His Members , Dr. P. O. Bersell, The Pastor, His Organiza- tion and Organizationsf, Other speakers included Dr. E. E. Ryden, Dr. P. Arthur Johnson, Rev. Ernest Lack, and Dr. J. A. Holmen. The Concordia Society was organized in 1898. It is made up of the entire student body of the Seminary, the faculty and alumni. It sponsors spiritual, educational, social and athletic ac- tivities among the seminarians. Weelrly Sunday programs are conducted at the Moline Lutheran Hospital and at the Rock Island Rescue Mission. Fifteen years ago Dr. Bergendorff wrote: The Augustana Idea Cof Student Christian ser- vicej demands much from every student. He should not only receive, he should also give .... He should associate himself with the Missionary Society of the school. His interest should continue beyond graduation .... The Augustana Idea demands not only the gaining of missionary knowl- edge, it demands definite deeds which contribute to the advancement of missions .... The Aug- ustana Ideal is not yet realized. Sunday afternoon vespers in the seminary chapel have replaced Sunday evening services in the college chapel, Sunday evening services were held for seventy-three years. Vespers consist of a twenty-minute organ recital, short liturgy and a sermonette. There is a need of more private Bible study and prayer. A misplaced emphasis upon scholas- ticism, social life and extra curricular activities has crept into our college. The real, basic prepara- tion for life is living with and in the Bible. The greatest literary and spiritual asset of the world is the Bible. It opens a vista to the individual wherein he sees God as his father and is assured of the forgiveness of sins and life everlasting through Jesus Christ. KENNETH FARB. 4416 77 ALUMNI AND FACULTY OF AUGUSTAINIA Augustana By HELEN PARK faculty in every branch of the liberal arts have brought honor to the institution, and alumni in all vocations have reflected the exemplary influence of their Alma Mater. Our respect is due to Augustana's three professors emeritus, Dr. Claude IV. Foss, professor of history from 1884' to 1932, Dr. E. F. Bartholomew, professor of English literature and philosophy from 1888 to 1932, and Miss Iva C. Pearce, professor of oral expression from 1906 to 1933. Dr. Foss received his A.B. degree from Augustana in 1883 and his A.M. in 1889. He was'an author, editor, and translator, travelled ex- tensively in Europe, Asia, and Africa, and was the Commissioner of the Augustana Synod to Persia in 1889. Since his death in January of this year, Dr. Foss' friends and former students have keenly felt the loss of his presence. Dr. Bartholomew, who resigned in 1932, but who taught philosophy this year because of illness among the faculty, was ordained in 1875, among the first of the pastors of the Augustana synod. Like Dr. Foss, he has taught practically every subject in the college curriculum. Miss Pearce will long be remem- bered by Augustana students and b her colleaffues of the faculty for her unfailing enthusiasm in her dra- Y e matic work, her kindly interest in the welfare of her former students, and a desire to influence those she was teaching toward high ambitions, a trait common to all three of the professors emeritus. Among other faculty members of the past worthy of mention are Dr. Anders Bersell, professor of Greek and German from 1880 to 1905, Dr. A. W. VVilliamson, professor of mathematics from 1880 to 1906, and Rev. Carl O. Granere ,rofessor of Latin Swedish, and literature from 1871 to 1898. Rev. R. F. Illeidner, : P , professor of Hebrew and dogmatics, was contemporaneous with these professors. Dr. Josua Linclahl, founder of the science department at Augustana, came in 1878 to this institution, after having served in behalf of the English Government as official botanist of the first Deep Sea Expedition ever attempted. Dr. Lindahl's thorough knowledge of science placed him as an authority of highest rank. From 1888 to 1911 Dr. Johann A. ment through was formerly Udden, senior, '81,'was the head of the science department, he not only improved the depart- is knowledge of its needs, having been one oflthe first Augustana science graduates, but with he State geologist of Texas, and he was knighted by King Oscar II of Sweden in 1911. ' h his work in geoldgy he brought international attention to himself and to his'Alma Mater.

Prof. Esbjorn was l born in 1862 ini Chicago, Illinois, 'md graduated from Augustana in 1880. He then taught at Gustavus Adolphus from 1881 'to 1882 and after this came as an instructor to the Augustana Academy. He attended the University taught modern of Michigan in '83 and '84 and the University of Leipzig in '86 and '87, Professor Esbjorn languages in the college until 1899 and during this time had attended the University of Chi- faculty. I m cago in the su versities in the mers of '97 and '98. In 1913 and 19141 the Professor of German visited 150 colleges and uni- interest of simplified spelling and he secured favorable action from 75 of them. In 1917 Professor Esbjorn Wrote his condensed German Grammar which is still used in his classes and appreciated by his students for its compact, yet complete, form. One notices the simplified spelling which is used in the grammar. and literature. From 1919 to the present Professor ESllj01'H has been professor of the German language In 1920 he wrote VVhy Not Prohibit VVar? and 'in 1932 was given the honorary degree of Litt.D. by Gustavus Adolphus. In 1872 Prof. Linus VVarner Kling was born at Rockford. Ilfhen 27 years old Prof. Kling graduated from the University of Nebraska and while attending the University he had also been teaching there.

Prof. Anderson was then appointed as Greek professor at Gustavus Adolphus where he remained until 190-L. During this time he had received the A.M. degree from Augustana, and had attended the University of Chicago in 1900-01 and University of XVisconsin in 1903. In 1913 Prof. Ander- son seemed to have become dissatisfied with teaching so he worked with the Mutual Trust Life Insurance Company for two years but in 191+ he dec'ded he could not leave teaching and came back to the position he has held ever since. In 1932 Gustavus Adolphus awarded him with the honorary degree of Litt.D. A member of Au'gustana's faculty who is included in the American Men of Science is Dr. John Peter Magnusson, at Augustana in a teaching capacity since 1906. Dr. Magnusson was born in 1872 at Krokeryd, Sweden, and he graduated from Gustavus Adolphus in 1898, after which he earned his A.M. de- gree at the University of Minnesota. I-Ie was a student-teacher the University of Wisconsin from 1903- 04, taught at Cornell and received his Ph.D. there in 1906 after which he became instructor of physics and chemistry here. From 1911 to 1922 he was Professor of Chemistry and from 1922 until the present he has had the Oscar II chair in Chemistry here. Dr. Magnusson has written some well-known books in his field, and has influenced many young men of his department to become industriaL.chemists. Dr. William Emanuel Cederberg first taught at Augustana from 1903 to 1905. He was born in 1876 in Uppsala, Sweden, and after attending Yale University from 1900 to 1902, he earned his master's degree while a student teacher at Brown University, and then came to Rock Island. For several years the Mathe- matics professor attended the University of Gottingen and then he returned to Augustana where he is still Professor of Mathematics. Professor Cederberg attended Lund University in 1919 and in the summers of 1920-21 was a student-teacher at the University of Wisconsin. He is a member of four distinguished societies in the field of Mathematics and Scien-ce and is listed in the Amerioarz, Bleu of Science. So diverse are the fields and professions into which Augustana alumni have entered that we Cannot touch upon all of them, nor even upon all the eminent men in each sphere of life-work. Among the pas- tors graduated from Augustana should be mentioned Rev. G. A. Brandelle, '82, the present president of the Augustana synod, who was ordained in 18844, among the first of the Synod, Rev. C. Albert Lund, seminary, '03, vice-president of the synod, and Rev. N. J. W. Nelson, seminary, '95, who is secretary of the synod. Rev. L. G. Abrahamson, '03, was ordained in 1880. The following pastors are all presidents of the various con- ferences of the synod: Rev. Peter Peterson, seminary, '94, Illinois, Rev. P. A. Mattson, seminary, '94, Minnesota, Rev. P, O. Bersell, '99, seminary, '06, Iowa, Rev. G. A. Dorf, seminary, '95, Kansas, Rev. Felix V. Hanson, 1900, seminary, '03, New York, Rev. C. O.Gulleen, '07, seminary, '10, Nebraska, Rev. Anton Nel- son, seminary, '24, Canada, Rev. N. VVm. Anderson, seminary, '2-lf, Columbia, Rev. C. G. Anderson, '12, seminary, '15, California, Rev. C. Albert Lund, seminary, '03, Superior, Rev. S. G. Hagglund, 1900, seminary, '04, New England, Rev. Oscar O. Gustafson, '13, seminary '16, Red River Valley, and Rev. Hugo B. Haterius, sem- inary '16, Texas. V In the field of medicine we cite Dr. Samuel C. Plummer, '83, of Chicago, who was Chief of Surgical Service in the American Expeditionary Forces in United States Base Hospital 14 in 1919 and consulting surgeon to the Hospital Center in Mars-sur-Allier in France in the same year. Dr. John A. Christenson, 1900, has become a well-known Chicago physician, and Dr. Louis Ostrom, '95, of Rock Island, who also worked in the overseas medical service in 1918-19, is an eminent eye, ear, nose, and throat specialist. G. Bernhard Anderson, '88, has practiced law in Chicago since 1896, worked there as vice consul for Sweden since 1913, and has been a student in Norse languages at Uppsala University, Sweden, at Berlin, and at Paris. Also the educational sphere has called so many of Augustana's graduates that men who are mentioned here are only a few of the group of whichwe would like to speak. Dr. J. Thorsten S'ellin '15, is the head of the sociology department at the University of Pennsylvania and is editor of the Annals of the American Academy of Politficcd and Social Science. Dr. George Ryden, '09, has been professor of American history and government at the University of Delaware since 1922, was the head of the Mission of Inquiry to the Ukraine, Russia, for the American Red Cross in 1919, with the rank of major, and among other honors was decorated with the Cross di Guerra for work on Piava River front, the Cross of St. Stanislav and St. Anne, 1920, and the C-ross of the Russian Red Cross for work in the Caucausus. Dr. A. Julius Carlson, '98, has become a na.tionally known figure in physiology since his professorship in that field at the Univ. of Chicago began in 1909. I-le served as lieutenant colonel of the U. S. A. Sanitary Corps in 1917 and with the A. E. F. in 1919. He has made valuable contributions in the last Hfteen years to the Anzoriczm Journal of Physiology. PSY- chology has claimed Dr. J. E. XV. XVallin '97, who since 1921 has been director of the bureau of special edu- cation and psycho-educational clinic, and professor of clinical psychology at Miami University, Oxford, 441844 44 Ohio, and has written about thirteen widely-used books in his field. Dr. Einar Joranson, '08, has been a professor of history at the University of Chicago since 1917, and also in this sphere one thinks of Dr. George M. Stephenson, '10, who has been professor of history at the University of Minnesota since 1918. Dr. Roy V. Peel, '20, has been in the field of political science at the New York University since 1923, and Dr. Elmer Peterson '17, is now in the education department of the University of Iowa. Mr. J. A. Bexell '95, is the retired dean of the School of Commerce at Corvallis, Oregon, and has conducted an agricultural survey of Oregon. He was formerly a collaborator of the U. S. Bureau of Markets. Oscar Broneer, '22, is now an archae- ologist in Athens, Greece, and Alfred A. Anderson '99, is director of the school of commerce at Mackensie College, Sao Palo, Brazil. In writing of prominent scientists of Augustana the following should be mentioned: Dr. Philip Dowell, '85, botanist, chairman of the publication committee of Staten Island Institute of Arts and Sciences since 19055 O. VV. Ostlund, '79, entomologist, professor at the University of Minnesota., and one of the oldest liv- ing Augustana alumni, Johan A. Udden, '05, geologist, son of J. A. Udden, '81, XVarren O. Nelson, '28, zoologist, professor at the University of Missouri, Dr. Hans O. Haterius, '23, zoologist, Professor at New York University, Alvin Lugn, '16, geologist, professor at the University of Nebraska, Robert Sandstrom, '31, chemist with the Goodrich Rubber Company, and Clarence Berg, '24, biochemist, professor at the Univer- sity of Iowa. The list would have to be more than doubled if we would include all the industrial chemists and teachers in small colleges who are Augustana alumni. Carl R. Chindbloom, '90, is a United States Congressman from the tenth Illinois district. He has served as master of Chancery in the Circuit Court of Cook County from 1916 to 1919, and has been in the field of Constitutional law in Chicago since 1900. Joseph L. Larson, '06, has been a member of the House of Repre- sentatives ,of Massachusetts, and is now a banker in Boston, Massachusetts. Leonard Telleen, '96, has been a county judge from 1910 until his appointment as circuit judge, which position he now holds. Hugo C. Larson, '19, has gained attention as a metallurgist, since he began his Work in 1923 as inspector at the Illinois Steel Company, Gary, Indiana. ' Augustana has played a prominent part in the furnishing of missionaries to the foreign fields. Rev. O. L. Larson, '02, seminary '05, served in India from 1905 to 1923, and was the first treasurer of the U. L. C. Mission in India. Dr. Bertha'Anderson, ex-'20, is now Working in Tanganyika Territory, East Africa. Dr. Esther Johnson, '24, Dr. Edna Miller, '23, and Miss Verna Lofgren, ex-'20, all worked in the medical Held in Africa. Rev. Roy F. Thelander, seminary '14, worked as an Augustana missionary to Honan, China, from 1920 to 1925, and Rev. Thure Holmer, '09, seminary '12, was in the Rajahmundry field of India' from 1912 to 1933. Rev. Anton Lundeen, seminary '16, who is now field secretary of foreign missions, was sent to the Fuchow district in China from 1916 to 1923, and during that time C1922j was held in captivity by bandits for several weeks.

At that time a literary group called the Phrenokosmian Society organized for the mutual improvement in elocution, composition, and debatev. VVeekly sessions alternately in Swedish and English were open to all, and all students were expected to become active members. Its orders of exercise included orations, essays, debates, disputations, declamations, besides the usual general business which affords excellent practice in the principles of parlianhentary law . In 1882 another group organized the Adelphic Society which provided a wholesome rivalry to the older club. Each organization had a small but choice reading library, and each published weekly papers: Phrenokos- miana and The Censor. In 1896 these two societies co-operated, both supporting the Lyceum, an organization to promote literary and oratorical interests, leaving debate chiefly to the debating clubs which were being formed. The Lyceum sponsored public lectures, oratorical contests, entertain- ments, and published The Observer for the first time. Later practically all forensic activities were undertaken through other organizations, and the Adelphic and Phrenokosmian Societies be- came primarily literary groups. The Gladstone Debating Club was the first Debating Club formed, starting in 1893 with mem- bership limited to twenty-four. In 1898 The Antonian and The McKinley Clubs were organized, but both became inactive in 1902 when The VVebster Debating Club was formed. Spirited dis- cussions in the form of debates upon political, social, religious, or collegiate problems of vital in- terest at the time were held in the weekly meetings. Such resolutions as: Resolved: That there is nothing new under the sun or That life is worth living from a material point of view or That church bazaars should be abolished were keenly argued. The Gladstone Club entertained the mem- bers of the VVebster Club with a mock trial in which Mrs. Elizabeth Taylor was awarded 341,999.99 of her 585,000 claim for injury of her boy by a horse, and The VVebsters returned the honor with a mock council meeting in. which they debated Resolved: That the Tri-city Railway Company be owned municipally. In 1904 The Torgny Debating Club was organized to promote argumentation in Swedish, The Balfour Club was formed as a supplement to The Gladstone and Webster Clubs, and The Edward Everett Club C1913j sponsored women's debating. Under the Debating League, to which the men's English debating clubs delegated the power to arrange interclub and intercollegiate debates f1911j, Augustana first actively participated in contests with other schools. In 1915 by petition this league organized the Forensic Board of Control to take over its responsibilities. The Board was made up of the President and Treas- urer of the institution, one memberlof the Board of Directors, two faculty advisors, and four stu- dent representatives. A form of this Board is at present controlling forensic activity. About 1925 the debating clubs were reorganized into The House of Representatives and The Senate. Their purpose was to discuss questions of the day, to familiarize their members with governmental procedure and to exercise their powers in public speaking and to promote forensic activities on the campusn. Each member chose llis own political party and also a state in the Union, the interests of which he represented in Weekly discussions on the political controversies of the day. The Senate gradually became inactive, and with the lack of competition The House ceased to exist. In recent years debate has been open to any student of the school. 44 an Q A local chapter of the national forensic society, Tau Kappa Alpha, was established in May, 1921, but was relinquished when Augustana was awarded a chapter of Pi Kappa Delta. The Illinois Xi Chapter of Pi Kappa Delta, an exceedingly active national fraternity for forensics, was installed by Professor Toussaint of Monmouth, Illinois, in May, 1931. There are now nine active members and five debaters have been invited to be pledges. Since the first regular intercollegaite debate with Luther College in 1905, Augustana has been quite successful in her interschool forensic activities. Recent years especially have brought many successes. In 1930 the women's teams won Hrst in the League of Illinois Colleges, and in 1931 and 1935 they ranked second. The men's teams have ranked high in the League in nearly every year of participation, being undefeated in 1922, 1924, 1932, and 1935, and ranking sec- ond several times. In 1932 Augustana was represented by two men's teams and in 1934 by three men's teams and two women's in the tournament at Southwestern College, Vlfinfield, Kansas. In the last tournament, in the senior men's division, Augustana won third placeg in the womenis divi- sion she tied for fourth place, and in the junior college division she tied for fifth place. August- ana was the only school represented which had all of its teams ranked among the upper half of the participants. In the spring of 193-1, the college sent two men's debate teams to Lexington, Kentucky, to participate unofhcially in the Pi Kappa Delta national tournament, and in 1935 four women and four men represented the school in the fraternity's provincial tournament at Vilaukesha, Wisconsin. In these tournaments both in debate and in the extemporaneous speaking and oratorical contests, in which the debaters also took part, Augustana made a commendable record. In the tour- nament held by St. Thomas College, St. Paul, Minnesota, January, 1935, the four men representa- tives tied for seventh place out of the fifty-four schools present. In oratory for 1933 an Augustana student won Hrst place in the state oratorical contest for promotion of peace and second in the con- test sponsored by the State Oratorical Association with his oration, VVhat VVould You Call It?,' The women's representative in 19344 placed first in the state contest with her oration, A Defense of My People. . During the early years of the debating clubs, forensic activity was informally directed by Dr. E. P. Bartholomew through his argumentation classes. In 1913 Professor A. E. Keiber of Davenport High School was coach of debate. Following him Attorney Clinton Searle coached two years, Conrad Bergendoff, Dean of Augustana Seminary, for one year, and Professor J. F. Page, for two years. Then for a period of ten years, Dr. A. F. Schersten, Professor of Sociology, most successfully directed the debating activities making an excellent record for the school in this field and bringing forensic activity even more to the foreground than it had been in the past. Until about the middle of Dr. Schersten's term as debate coach, women participated with the men. VVhen the activities were separated, Dr. Schersten for some time directed both teams, but was re- lieved by Edwin C. Munson, then a student in the seminary, who coached the women in 1925, 1926, and 1927, by Leonard Smith in 1928, and by Gilbert Munson in 1929. In the spring of 1929, Pro- fessor Paulus Lange took Dr. Schersten's place as instructor of sociology and also assumed his duties as coach of debate. Sigfrid Engstrom, a student of the seminary, directed women's debating in 1930, 1931, and 1932, while Attorney Isadore Katz in 1930 and Dr. lVendell Lund in 1931 and 1932 had charge of the men's activities. Throughout her career as an instructor of oral expres- sion, Miss Iva Pearce was the director of oratory. In the fall of 1932 Martin J. Holcomb was ap- pointed to his present position as director of forensics. He is assisted by Theodore LeVander, formerly of Gustavus Adolphus College, who is coach of oratory. Under Professor Holcomb con- siderable progress has been made in the field of forensics, the program has been greatly enlarged, particularly in reference to participation in tournaments, and largely through his efforts the chap- ter in Pi Kappa Delta was awarded Augustana. iM'1..'!4z I 4' 4 ' ' 'J 1 Lhvlaxii MJ. ., 2:1 L lf'-- ' -- -' -L ,Q-1ry B 1 i. ,. l N E I 1 E i ,s if -1 1 1 l 1 l lll llllll 75 3 QI- -:pe MES E ,L in hr 7. aikJ4L'!f'!Q'- 'Ll -X. r .

V 'f'3-- ' MUSIC AT AUGUSTANA By CLARICE QUAIFE The history of music at Augustana covers a period almost as long as that of the institution itself. From the very beginning up to the present time Augustana has in one way or another presented her students with facilities for obtaining at least rudimentary training in the musical art. In June of 1873 President Hasselquist in his annual report to the Synod, then meeting in Pax- ton, included the following paragraph: I beg to call to the attention of the Synod the necessity of providing for an old but continual- ly increasing need of our institution, namely that of instruction in music, vocal and instrumental. The love of music, and the desire to develop its art has ever since the days of Luther constituted a marked characteristic of the Lutheran Church, and we must nbtr gllgw it to be blotted out in the midst of our new circumstances here. Even though it should prove impossible to do anything in this .matter now, yet it should not be forgotten, but rather be kept actively in mind? The Board of Directors did keep this in mind, for the catalog of the institution for the year 1873-7-at includes in the list of faculty members the name of Mr. Albert 'Wihlborg as instructor in voice. I , In the Spring of 1879 Dr. O. Olsson had taken a trip to Europe for his health, and had found opportunity to hear a rendition of I-Iandel's Messiah in London. This seems to have impressed him very deeply and on his return he emphasized greater musical activity at Augustana. In an article in Augustana he spoke at length concerning this matter, and in this article is to be found expressed the beginning idea of a conservatory at our college. Mr. WVihlborg,s period of service extended over several years. In the fall of 1878 Mr. J. F. Ring became instructor in vocal ,music and served in this capacity and that of organist until 1882, when Gustav Stalpe of Denver, Colo., became Musical Director, and Augustana announced her first Professor of Music. p Instruction in vocal music was at first required and the students were grouped into two classes of instruction, the lower and the higher. The lower class was given the theory of music. The higher class was occupied with singing in choir and with exercises for developing the voice and cul- tivating the musical expression. The year 1886 was a very important one for music at Augustana. During the previous year the faculty had held a number of informal meetings for the purpose of discussing the possibility of establishing a school of music at the college. It seems that the Board of Directors, while entire- ly favorable to the movement, was unwilling to assume the responsibility of such an undertaking, and so the result was that on January 18, 1886, the Augustana Conservatory of Music was estab- lished as a private undertaking, governed by the following Board of Trustees: Professors Gus- tav Stalpe, Principal of the Department, O. Olsson, Presidentg C. W. Foss, Secretary-Treasurer, Josua Lindahlg C. B. Esbjorn, and G. VV. Sandt. Courses were offered in harmony, voice, organ, piano, and violin. The Conservatory continued under private management throughout the years 1886-88. Miss Marion Reck was added to the faculty as assistant in piano, and seventeen students were en- rolled. The fall of 1887 marked the beginning of the Conservatory as an integral part of the institu- tion and thirty students were enrolled this year. The Conservatory offered well worked out courses in theory, voice, organ, piano, violin, and history of music, and a course of lectures on the Bible which all students of the Conservatory were required to attend. Later courses were offered also in viola and violoncello. Miss Marion Reck served on the faculty until 1888, Miss Emelia Meggle, 1888-1889, and llfiss Hilma Ohlin, 1888-1890. From 1890 to 1893 the Conservatory made rapid progress in raising and organizing its stand- ards. During 1890-1892 Professor Stalpe was assisted by Professor Albert Holmes, and Miss 44 bb Cora Eldridge served as assistant in piano 1890-91. In 1892-93 the work in the Conservatory was organized into three distinct departments: a graduate department leading to the degree of Bache- lor of Music, an organist department designed especially to train students for organistsg and a choral and vocal department affording instruction and drill in solo, quartet, and chorus singing. This year the faculty grew to five members-Professors Gustav Stalpe, VV. Swensson, G. E. Grif- fith, Miss Alma Larson and Mr. G. N. Benson. In 19044 Professor Emil Larson became a member of the faculty, and a year later, the director of the department. Under his splendid leadership, which was from 1905 to 1908, the Conser- vatory strengthened its former standing and received impetus for greater things in the future. Professor J. Victor Bergquist of Minneapolis, took up his duties at Augustana Conservatory in the fall of 1912 and with him came Professor L. B. Canterbury to take charge of the depart- ment of voice. Professor Algert Anker, who had the previous year entered the fZlCl1lty as head of the violin department, remained in that position, Miss Effie Johnson came as teacher of piano, but was succeeded in 1913 by Miss Frances Lidman. - Very much could be said about the musical organizations which have come into being, flour- ished, waned, and died during the years of Augustanafs history, as well as about the ones still active and alive. A few of the organizations are: Utopian Quartet, Mendelssohn Male Choir, Xerxes Mandolin Orchestra, Kratodean Male Choir, Echo Quartet, Philodoi Female Quartet, Aeolus Club, Oriole Choir, Euterpean Society, and many others. The Handel Oratorio Society, founded at Augustana in 1881, was the first society of its kind in this party of the country. It came into existence thru the inHuence of Dr. O. Olsson, and its object is to study and render oratorios and other sacred compositions. For years the society has presented Handel's Messiah during the Christmas season, and it is now working on Mendels- sohn's Elijah,' to be given at the 75th Anniversary Celebration this spring. The organization, now conducted by Mr. Henry Veld, is one of the leading musical organizations in the Tri-Cities and is comprised of approximately 300 members. The lVen-nerberg Male Chorus, now enjoying the 35th year of its existence, is decidedly de- serving of recognition in the Held of music at Augustana. The Oriole Club, now known as the Jenny Lind Girls' Chorus, while not as old as the lVen- nerberg Chorus, is enjoying the 16th successful year as an organization. The two choirs are now directed by Mr. Henry Veld, a leader in every line of musical acti- vity, from the Chicago Musical College. Mr. Veld, very successfully directs the two choirs, now known jointly as the Augustana College A Capella Choir. Many are accustomed to think of the two choirs as being valuable to the institution chiefly be- cause of the service they render in the way of advertising the school on their annual tours, and it isxtrue that this service can hardly be estimated. But the service that they render to the Conser- vatory, and indeed, to the whole institution by their very existence, by their close and persistent ad- herence to high and thorough standards, in their work, and by their readiness to contribute to the musical success of every festive occasion at Augustana, can well be appreciated. The name of the Augustana Conservatory of Music was changed in 1931 to The Augustana School of Music. The faculty is now composed of eight members, Sven Victor Lekberg as Dean of the School of Music, and Head of the Piano and Theory Departments, Henry Veld, Head of the Voice Department and Choral Conductor, Louise Elizabeth Cervin, Instructor in Piano and Head of the Preparatory and Intermediate Departments, Mildred Anderson Hult, Instructor in Voice and Head of the Public School Music DepartmentgBrynolf Lundholm, Instructor in Piano and Organ, Edna Meckel llflason and VVilhelmina Johnson, Instructors in Piano, and Glenn Halik, Instructor in Violin and Viola and Band and Orchestra Conductor. The value of the School of Music can not be measured alone by its service to the College and its students, but also by its assistance in bringing to the Tri-Cities such well known artists as John McCormack, Toti Del Monte, Coe Glade, Paul Althouse, Edith Mason, Galli Curci, Marion Talley, Edward Collins, and Mme. Schuman-Heinck. . 'W' vw gi 'T .f me 5, i, . L - -V , V - '.v.,,,v,-.-. . .X ,M . i p, M ,, . ,, K , - Q , . ' -5- rl ,Yr uf N 1. X ', ,JH T Nj jf :NZ X' li an i .

Among the matters of importance besides championships, victories, and defeats, is the never- to-be-forgotten rebellion which broke loose on the Augustana campus in 1906 when all forms of intercollegiate athletics were banned by the synod and the board of directors. For some reason or other, athletics, especially football, created a widespread disfavor among the churchmen of the synod. In 1905 the church leaders decided to forbid football. The student body of the school raised a hullabaloo over losing the game, but that was nothing compared to the bombshell tossed on the campus in the fall of 1906 when all intercollegiate competition was or- dered stopped. T 1' 'X On October 24, 1906, the pentup feeling of the students broke over the college and the board. lVithin 15 minutes after the announcement of the board's decision upholding the synod's action, all students except twelve called a general strike. A for rent or sale sign was posted on the old gymnasium. The board was hooted and jeered. After several days' of rebelling, however, the students finally were persuaded to re- enter the classrooms. Then about eighty of the ring-leaders were suspended temporarily, and re- instatement came when an apology was offered by the students. The whole affair was soon forgotten, but athletics were dead at the college for many years. ln 1911, basketball and baseball were reinstated, but it was not until 1917 that football was put back in the good graces of the Synod and the board of directors. Basketball first was introduced at Augie in 1897, by the Rev. C. M. Olander, who brought his knowledge of the game from the Marinette, VVis., Y. M. C. A. The game found favor with the students, and the first team to organize was known as the Five Drop Club, which soon had com- petition from the Stars, a rival cage organization. VVhen 1902 rolled around, Augustana had accepted basketball as an established custom, and was ready to enter the lists with a half dozen colleges and universities of the middle west. The first game of the year was with Monmouth, with the Vikings emerging victorious, 18 to 12. The first championship in the cage Sport Came in 1905, when the college won every game on its schedule, including two with the University of Iowa. Purn captained the team, with Walt Pearson the secondforward. Enoch Pearson played center and Johnson and Udden were the guards. The 1906 season was nearly as good as the previous year, and well it should have been, be- cause not until 1911 were the Swedes again to play other colleges due to the ban of 1907. In 1906, Augie won eight out of 12 battles. Roy M. Conrad of Moline came to Augustana in 1913, as the first director of athletics, coach- ing football and basketball. During the season of 1913, Conrad's quintet won 12 of 16 games. Art Swedberg, who later became basketball coach and director of athletics, made his entry into the Augie ranks in 1913. A year later, Augie was nosed out of the finals in the state tournament at Bloomington, losing to Northwestern Cnow North Centralj, 36 to 21. Swedberg captained the Vikings inthe 1915 and 1916 seasons, the latter year being the best year the old gymnasium ever saw-the new gym was first used in 1917. The state championship came to Augustana in 1917, with Swedberg, Ed Johnson, Al Taber, VVinnie Holmgren, Cub Lundberg, Ed Swedberg, Bill Anderson and Frank Johnson as regulars. Incidentally, the Swedes that year dedicated the University of Chicago gymnasium by losing to the Maroons, 37 to 17. Swedberg took over the reigns in 1920, turning out an aggregation that copped third in the state meet, conducted at Augustana. The squad was composed of Captain Almer, Wallie Swanson, Kootch Anderson, Bengston, Holgren, Dopp, Van Alstyne, Lundeen, Palmer, Andreen and Dahl- quist. 44 ur VVith practically the same outit in 1921, the Swedes tore through about everything, losing only three out of 17 games played. A period of mediocre years followed, until 192-L, when a second modern wonder team came thundering out of the Augustana halls. The Vikings split even in the series with Macomb and Bradley, and won every other conference game, including battles with Knox, Northwestern, DeKalb, Lombard and Millikin. The 1925 was practically a repetition of the preceding year, as Coach Swedbergis men again eopped the conference title. After the great teams of 192-1' and 1925, Augie went into a slight decline, although the teams produced by Swedberg always finished well toward the top of the Little Nineteen conference per- centage columns. Swedberg took a year off from his duties in 1931, leaving his boys to Shorty Almquist, whom we will discuss later in accents sweet. The best season in many moons was chalked up during the 1934+-35 season, when the Vikings mauled eleven opponents and took it on the chin only four times. The final game of the season saw the undefeated St. Ambrose quintet bow to the Vikings, 41 to 32. Coach Almquist handled the cagers during the year. Football was first introduced at Augustana in 1893-and since that time-what a history has been made! John Swensson, Moline, brought the game to Augie after learning it at Northwestern University, and he was followed by Joe Cook of the University of Illinois. During the early years, football was a matter of personal business. The players paid for their own suits, equipment and eats and fares on the trips. St. Ambrose furnished the Hrst inter- collegiate competition, when the Saints walked off the field at the half-trailing by an 18 to 0 score. In the second game of that first year, Augustana was defeated by Monmouth, 145 to 12, but came- back to defeat the University of Iowa, 6 to 0. Men on the first squad were Dr. Louis Os- trom, Joe Wfesterlund, Cederquist, Setterdahl, Peterson, Hoagland, Johnson, Kohler, Benson, Jacobson, Eastberg, Swenssen, Cook, Moody, Sandell, Lofgren and Lindell. Because too many men were injured, Augie dropped football at the end of the 1894 season, and not until 1901 was there another team. The grid sport was becoming very popular by 1903, and the Swedes were champs in 19011. The wonder team if that year will long be remembered, and the players that season were J. V. Johnson, Newstrom, A. Johnson A. B. Swanson, John Hall, Buck Oberg, Gus Lofgren, James VVeir, Emil Bergren, Essley and Morris Johnson. Then came the ban, which were lean years, indeed. After many fruitless efforts, however, football finally was reinstated in 1917, with Ted Davenport as the coach. The season wasn't very successful, as many men were called to the colors for the war. The next few years were better than average-in fact, the Swedes lost only one game, tied once and won six. Swedberg coached that outHt. The grid warfare at Augie hit the skids in 1922, and failed to revive until 1925, when Mart Knanishu and others began winning back lost prestige for the Norse. Football got down to a real pride and joy at Augie, beginning in 1928, when Coach Shorty Almquist was pulled away from Minnesota. So Well has he succeeded that he has now been given a 3-year contract as head coach of all sports and director of athletics, succeeding Major Swedberg, who becomes director of the health and physical education departments. Since Almquist has been at Augustana, his teams have won 80 per cent of the time. That's quite a record, but it can be proved. The climax came in the 193-L season, when Co-captains Bob Marack and I-Ierb McCall were the leaders. Augie won all the nine games on the schedule, suffering not a defeat nor a tie. Mai-ack led the Little Nineteen scoring with 72 points, and the Vikings gained the Hrst Little Nineteen grid championship in the history of the school. Track hasnit been as successful at Augie as have basketball and football. The running and jumping business, however, has the distinction of being the oldest sport on record, having first been introduced in 1882. Baseball, after many successful seasons, was dropped in 1930. Augustana may be proud of its record in sports. The records are clean and legal, and since 1917 nothing has been done to discourage intercollegiate competition. lVith such men as Alm- quist and Swedberg at the helm, there has been but one credo-- play the game hard and fairly. The creed seems to work, as is indicated by the records. 44 ,, . ' A . l . . . Q -ig 0 . . .Q Q , ' , , . W 1-d rnj ' 7,41 if fn-.5 Tp f - ,R 'fr , 4 if , rn , .

As a part of this program a comprehensive test was prepared, based on a reasonable assumption of college Sophomore achievement. Six colleges undertook the interesting and courageous experiment of administering these Sophomore tests at the same time to all four college classes involving nearly three thousand stu- dents. The tests included three thousand new-type questions, about half of which were devoted to General Culture under the heads of general science, foreign literature, fine arts, gen- eral history and social studies, the remainder to English and other more special fields. The knowledge required for success in the tests would not appear as organized material in college courses but was such as a student might normally be expected to acquire thru reading and experience within and outside college. The results, which were made popularly available in an article by Dean Max McConn in the North American Re- view, can hardly be described as less than astounding. In the portion of the test devoted to General Culture thirty per- cent of the Seniors scored less than the average achievement of the Freshmen, while more than one- fourth of the Freshmen ranged above the Senior average. Objective test scores in English showed Seniors to be poorer spellers than Freshmen and to know somewhat less also about grammar, vo- cabulary and literature. In the twelve hundred questions of the general culture test only insigni- Hcant gains were shown. . Dean Arthur VVa1d There is a famous wise-crack perpetrated by a clever Englishman to the effect that college ought to be the most learned place in the world because Freshmen come bearing loads of knowl- edge and the Seniors never carry any away. If the results of the aforementioned study be valid, the evidence for the latter part of the jest seems pretty conclusive. But there can be little com- fort for Freshmen in the thought that their average ignorance, stands so small chance of being dispelled before completion of their college course. The evidence in the case, says Dean McConn, appears to be valid and pretty damning . VVe may well maintain that these tests do not tell the wholefstory. Undeniably there are gains achieved in the four years of college which are not measured or not measurable by such tests. And yet, allowing for all due and reasonable reservations, the challenge to our institutional compla- cency is inescapable. We had not, to be sure, been altogether free from misgivings as to the trustwor- thiness of our educational product even without such disconcerting evidence. Such objective test- ing programs, continued in constantly improving forms, have only served to stimulate and acce- lerate a process already begun. Realistic thinkers in higher education had not only long ques- tioned the effectiveness of conventional procedure but had urged and proceeded to put into effect some radical new departures from it. Perhaps the most thorogoing and consistent reorganization ever undertaken at one time and place is that represented by the new plan of the University of Chicago, an evaluation of which after three years of operation the interested reader may find in a book fresh from the press by DeandBoucher. Course examinations, course credits and required class attendance are abandoned and the student passes from the college , which is responsible for general education and specinc requirements for advanced work, to specialized education repre- sented by Hve upper divisions--the old Senior Collegen-quite independently of residence require- ments except for the minimum of one quarter, and entirely on the basis of comprehensive exam- inations from which the instructor, be it noted, is entirely dissociated. The recent case of the student who successfully passed the comprehensive examinations at both the Junior and Senior College level within two years may be duplicated at any time by any one capable of it. The surveys, studies, experiments and Hplansl' announced in such great number and variety by the best colleges during the past half dozen years and with which conference programs and the literature of higher education have made us only too familiar, are convincing evidence of the C4 :J general discontent with traditional methods and organization and the eager desire to discover more rational solutions. A volume appearing in 1932 described no less than 128 outstanding changes and experiments reported by seventy-Hve colleges. Many of these may perhaps have proved im- practicable and may have been destined to early modification or rejection. But the principle of well-considered, carefully controlled experimentation in education is now no longer called into question but is given all possible official encouragement. No more striking example of the new attitude and outlook can be cited! than the new policy of the North Central Association which shifts the emphasis from quantative to qualitative criteria, acknowledges the desirability of educational- ly sound variations from pattern in the colleges, and approves of well-considered experiments to improve educational processesn. Out of the current unrest and confusion what are the trends that appear most definite and the values that seem most likely to survive? The general and growing distrust of the point and credit-earning system with its substitution of numerical symbols for intellectual values, its measurement of individual achievement on the basis of time spent or teachers' term grades will no doubt result in the ultimate abandonment of this distinctively American contribution to education. The practice of handing out course cou- pons at half-year intervals, a suHicient number of which entitles the holder to the coveted degree, represents a mischievous distortion of the process and results of true education. Evidence abounds that mastery of the subject, the only rational goal, is not adequately measured by semester hours and course grades. When course examinations, given and graded by the instructor. are replaced by comprehensive final examinations constructed and administered as an independent major function of the college apart from instruction, the relation between teacher and student will be improved beyond belief, learning will receive an immense stimulus and the process of interrelating and in- tegrating knowledge in various fields will create unsuspected insights for the learner. The student's right to proceed at his own best rate and to secure recognition of his progress independently of others seems undeniable. In realizing such individualization of instruction the great wealth of new testing material being made increasingly available provides indispensable aid. The prinpiple of general education in the first two years of college which is being given in- creasing stress must be recognized as altogether sound and valid. Progress in this direction will involve modification of existing courses and the creation of new ones to provide for all students in the lower division more comprehensive overviews of the important Helds of instruction. Depart- mental introductory courses now elective will be merged into required broader survey courses in re- lated fields. The upper division will thus be left free in a far larger and more significant way to provide for more intensive study of a more freely chosen major interest. This differentiation in purpose as between the two levels should of course not be so rigid as to exclude adequate pre-pro- fessional preparation or the earlier development of a special interest in the lower division. The danger of overspecialization at the upper level may be prevented by a well-conceived plan of in- terdepartmental majors. In the Senior College at least we may safely endeavor to break the lock- step of classes and revise our methods and procedure to encourage a greater measure of indepen- dent study. - A survey of the contemporary scene in higher education is disquieting enough in its implica- tions and is not calculated to encourage administrative or faculty peace of mind. Gone are com- placeny and self-satisfaction. Never has the educational task called for more earnest thought and more constant alertness or been beset with mo1'e serious problems. Let us not fail to recognize in the present confusion and discontent a sincere effort to discover more basic definitions of educa- tional values and more sure and effective means of attaining them. lVe may well grant the inevi- tability and need of change in academic patterns and revisions of cumbersome tho venerable methods. But we shall not be carried away by any lust for educational adventuring nor shall we attempt to escape any possible stigma of stagnation by launching into a feverish program of experimentation. 'We shall not stake our academic salvation on any Augustana Plan or on any new device or procedure. And we shall not lose sight of the fundamental and enduring truth that under any plan or with whatever organization, nothing can ever be or become a substitute for scholarly, mature, goal-conscious, life-inspiring, vision-creating, character-motivating teaching by men and women who are aware of vital issues, who are free from provincialism and rich in human sympathy and who give themselves to their great task with unreserved consecration. cc if 4' ' 'Sn'-.', 'w1 -4 'za .

Joi-1NsoN The Editor of the Rocxnry-I asked for a contribution setting forth some of the main problems of our office. YVe promised very reluctantly to do so, knowing that all financial problems are hard to explain in a few words. The position of school treasurer is not as easy as many seem to believe. The income is, as a rule, very limited but expenses are many. Sala- ries must be paid promptly, because teachers and other work- ers are dependent on them for their livelihood. Bills for supplies and equipment must be paid in a few days after pur- chase. If this is not done, the credit and buying power will suffer, which in turn will make it more difficult to buy at any advantage and at thelowest possible prices. At Augustana we have three principal sources of income: Tuition from students, income from Endowment Funds and contribution from the Synod. Other items of income are small and not to be depended upon. Some activities, such as Ath- letics, Concerts, Lecture Courses, Dormitories, Cafeteria, etc., are supposed to pay for themselves, but this is not always the case. Rev- C-I-Johnson Collecting tuition is rather diflicult in times such as ours. Many young people like to attend school, both in order to irn- prove their knowledge and because they cannot get anything to do. Paying positions are scarce. In order to help them it has been necessary to extend credit and let them give notes for their tuition. These notes are to be paid within the semester period but often the expected income will not materialize. This will leave quite a sum of unpaid tuition on our books. Augustana College and Theological Seminary has about a million dollar endowment fund. Loans and investments were carefully made but the financial condition of the country has made it impossible for many borrowers to pay ,interest on their loans. This deprives the institution of ready cash when needed. The churches of the Synod have always given liberal support to the school work, but during the past few years it has been impossible for them to contribute the amount asked for and prom- ised. The people simply had nothing to give. Again a handicap. The above mentioned causes will clearly show that we are laboring under difliculties. VVhen we look back over the past five years, it is really a marvel that we have been getting along as well as we have. The expenses for running an institution like ours is no small item. Salaries alone amount to if115,000.00 a year. Repairs, supplies, heat and light, etc., run up into thousands. Total salaries and expenses for 1934 amounted to iB199,125.90. Our charges are very reasonable. Tuition is only 3180.00 per school year. This includes all expenses for instruction, except laboratory fees, which are very small. Rooms at the dormitories cost from 352.00 per week up to 33.50. Meals are served at the cafeteria at cost. A student who is careful with his money need not spend over 95450.00 a year. Tuition paid by the students is far from enough to cover expenses of instruction. The income from the Endowment Funds and contribution from the Synod is used to cover this shortage. It takes about 350,000.00 a year more than is received from tuition to care for all the expenses of the college department. Anyone can readily see that the students receive their education for a sum far below actual cost. The Synod and College are glad to render this service to the young people. The youth of to- day are the leaders of tomo1'row and it is our duty to give them an opportunity to prepare for future leadership. We rejoice over the opportunity to help them. The students of Augustana carry the banner of the college onward with honor both to them- selves and their Alma Mater. We congratulate them and say Be Strong, be courageous in your glorious work . CARL J. JOHNSON. 44 rr REFLECTIQNS By PROP. J. P. NIAGNUSSON The founders thought that a school consisted of a building. The Old Dorm was their Augustana College. Now, how many are there on the campus? Count them. They thought the necessary equipment consisted of a desk and some chairs, with possibly a blackboard. Now-yes we have them too, but we have also some other things. They thought that studying consisted in memorizing the sayings of the wise men of the past and faithfully and accurately repeating them to a stern and dignified individual called a professor-he of the hickory stick type. Now-yes we do this too, but we surely do more. Some say we do less. Building-growing. It is a far cry from the first Old Main to our present building complex--from Proij-Plmagnusson the little red school house by the road to a state university. Growing-building, yes, we of the present generation are building, not only farms and factories and cities and roads and autos and airships and college buildings, slowly and surely we are also rearing an educational structure. During the past year we have watched the rise of another building on our campus. Does this mean just another building? It is tl1e third or fourth building on our campus designed for a specific educational purpose, and more, it is tl1e first building among our church colleges designed and equipped solely for the study of then basic sciences. VVhat does this imply? Does it not mean that, in our higher educational work, we are passing from the phase of a generalized pioneer type of education to a more specialized type demanded by a highly indust1'ial society in general and by the younger generation of our own church constituency in par- ticular? Many will perhaps shake their heads and say that they no longer recognize their beloved Augustana, that as a Wayward child she has left the straight and narrow way laid out for her by tl1e fathers. 'However, in the historical article by President Andreen there is brought out the fact that the pioneer founders by no means had a narrow conception of the scope and purpose of the institution they were founding. The establishment of technical and scientihc departments is clearly implied in their statement of purpose. As one views the new Wallberg Hall of Science with its pleasing though simple exterior and its equally pleasing and complete interior appointments, one wonders what will be its significance for our institution and particularly for the sciences. An immediate result should be an increased enrollment not only in the sciences but throughout the institution. VVith facilities such as the new building will offer in science, together with the new offerings in the other departments of instruc- tion, the library, physical education, music, art, athletics, forensics, etc., the educational program of Augustana from now on should be such as to attract the widest circle of young people who are looking to an education beyond that of the secondary schools. Closely associated with this effect is the thought of an ideally complete system of thorough college courses. VVith the establishment of a well equipped science department we can say that our educational structure as a college of liberal arts is complete, at least in outline. The necessary dc- partments arc there. The necessary physical equipment is, for the most part. there. lVhat is the next task? As in the erection of the new science building there was the laying of thc rcinforcccl concrete footings deep in the solid earth. the pouring of the floors, the building of thc walls. stone 44 sr . nQ1n-r' Ns-6 x wnmwqvi' W A Yxvg- fn W gt is , 'r 'BS' by stone, the interior finishing, the installation of fixed equipment, heating, plumbing, electrifica- tion, cases, work tables, and Hnally the planning and purchase of scientific instruments and working material, so in the building of Augustana there was the laying of foundations deep in the social strata of our people, the erection of the educational structure, department by department, course by course, until now, with the proper housing of our science department, all the necessary depart- mental units are there, built by the labors of many in the past and by the prayerful sacrifices of the people who have supported it. But, as in the new building, the most important task is the planning of the' scientific .equipment and materials so as to efficiently serve the specinc purpose for which the building is intended, so in our college the task remains to equip our departments in scope and course content so as to serve the needs of those who come here to prepare themselves for service in alsociety vastly more complex and specializedlthan that of a generation ago. This is the problem that lies immediately before us. On its solution will depends-sthe future of any institu- tion of learning, large or small. Even a minor prophet can forsee a time in the near future when society in all its phases, civic, industrial, economic, will rely more and more on the council of edu- cated men and women, and less and less on the self-made rugged individual , the promoter or the professional politician. The educational institutions which are blessed with the vision to see what is coming and the wisdom and means to prepare for it will not only survive but will assume a place of leadership in modern society never before accorded to education. The erection of a new science building on our campus comes at an opportune time. 'There remains the still more important task of broaden- ing the scope of each department, eliminating overlapping of courses, and above all, selecting in each department courses of definite and standardized content so that each course will count for something in the students' educational career. Wliat with the newer ideas of 'orientation courses,' areas of concentration , etc., the important thing for the learner after all is a course thoroughly worked out and well taught. May we not say, then, that with the completion of our beautiful new Science Hall we have reached the end of one phase in our development, the pioneer stage, the stage of laying of founda- tions, of growth, of expansion. Now comes the period of consolidation, of internal growth, of fill- ing in the importantdetails in the picture, so that Augustana may in very truth become an ideal American college.

OF SCIENCE Edited by. PROF. J. P. NIAGNUSSON The erectionfof The Wfallberg Hall of Science on the Augustana campus is not only a dream come true, a dream of many teachers and students, who have labored for years in delapidated buildings and with limited equipment, but it is the fulfillment of a thought in the minds of the founders of our institution. The first President of Augustana, L. P. Esbjorn, expressed this thought as early as 1859 before the institution was founded. V Our educational work is of so great importance for the supplying of our congregations with pastors and teachers, and for the education of youth to Hll other occupations, which demand knowl- edge and culture, and is so momentous for retaining our congregations in a true and living chris- tianity as well as for the preaching of the pure lVord of God in the language of the country, that we must maintain the same, let it cost what it may. As this quotation shows, the founders thought of an institution of learning, the object of which was very comprehensive in scope and included not only education for service in the church but for all walks of life. A review of the story of Augustana shows that this thought of the found- ers has been adhered to so that today our institution has a full setup of departments and courses properly belonging to a completely equipped college of undergraduate study. The following brief summary of the story of the natural sciences at Augustana is quoted from President Andreen's Jubi- lee story of Augustana. . Wlhile we were, students at Augustana College, it was repeatedly brought home to us that one of the heritages our forbears carried with them across the ocean was a love of Science and ln- vention. Such names were mentioned as Linne, the botanist, Scheele and Berzelins, the chemists, Celsius, the inventor of the centigrade thermometer, and John Ericsson, thc inventor of the Moni- tor, which contributed its share to the saving of the American Union. The first president of Augustana was interested in Mathematics and also in natural sciences. ln 1837 he published A Popular and Practical Treatise on Dioptric Dleasurcmmzts, and in IS-L-L A Cowzpavziorz. to the Baro1netcr. In his latter days he corresponded with the oflicials of Ecuador concerning thc establishment of an astronomical observatory on one of the islands of that South American state. lVhen the college departments with all four classes became a reality Qin 1877j, thc adminis- tration looked about for some eminent scientist to teach at Augustana, Their choice fell upon Dr. r' ' I , . fi' ' L, ,. . , - , ,, ,,, , ,L a .,. -g r a ft A, T - L .

He had acquired his Ph.D. at Lund Uniyrgrgitzsrj and taken part as natura- list in several scientiic expeditions in tropical waters and to Greenland, sponsored by the British and tl1C SWCCliSl1 g0VC1'11111CHtS- He accepted the call to Augustana, entering upon his duties here in 1878, remaining till 1888, when Governor Richard J, Oglesby appointed him State Geologist of Illinois at Springfield. His first chemical laboratoi-y at Augustana was Sgt up in the basement of l1iS l10!I165 this PTiIHitiVC la-b0Y2'C01'3' WHS located at the lower center of the northern wall of the pres- ent VVallberg Hall of Science- Lindfllll laid 2111 excellent foundation upon which one of his bril- liant StHd6ntS, D12 J- A. Udden C1838-l9llD C0Htinued to build. Udden's main work was in Geol- Ogy, On which SUbjSC13 lie Wrote many valuable monographs. He took part in the geological sur- verys of Illinois, Iowa, and Texasg also undert00k special investigations for the United States Geological Survey, making valuable contributions to them all, In 1911 he was appointed direc- tor of the Bureau of Economic Geology and Technology at the University gf Texasg by his geolo- gical insight and experience he gave m0St Valuable assistance to the location of oil Helds, from which the University has drawn an anunal revenue, the total of wlrigii runs into the millions. The development of many other natural resources of Texas Cpotash, sulphur, etc.j, has been most suc- cessfully pursued under Dr. Udden's surveillance, In 1898 the work in the Natural Sciences Was divided, J. A. Udden taking Biology and Geol- ogy, Jacob VVestlund teaching Physics and Chemistry C1888-895. The chair of Physical Science was filled by Prof. V. O. Peterson 1889-19055 he was in 1905 succeeded by Prof. J. P. Magnus- son QPh.D., Cornell University in 1907j, assuming the Chair of Chemistry alone in 1917, now called the Oscar II Chair of Natural Sciences. He has developed methods of the teaching of Fun- damental Principles of Chemistry and of Inorganic Chemistry following the Periodic Law. In his special field of Physical and Theoretical Chemistry he has published researches dealing with the Equilibria in Chemical Systems. As la teacher he has inspired not a few to continue graduate work in Chemistry. Prof. A. D. Udden assisted in the department of Natural Sciences 1910-15, and 1917-18. From 1915 Prof. Karl G. Larson QA.M., VVisconsin in 19295, has taught Natural Sciences first in the AC3CleTIly, then in the college, now having charge of the department of Physics which became a major department in 1931. In his graduate work he has paid special attention to Electron Phy- sics, and is now working on the development of a new type of Electron Tube. Prof. H. C. Ying- ling QSc.M., Ohio State University, 1916D, has taught Biology since 19195 this department has dur- ing the last years occupied the third floor of the Main Building. In 1923 Prof. Fritiof Fryxell was called to Augustana to assist in the Department of Biol- ogy and Geology, and during the succeeding six years developed the subject of his special inter- est, Geology, from a single one-semester course to the status of a full department. Consequently in 1929 the professorship of Biology and Geology was divided, and Prof. Fryxell, who completed hisdoctorate at the University of Chicago f1929j, was elected Professor of,Geology, which posi- tion he has since filled. Since 1929 he has likewise served as Naturalist of the Grand Teton Park in VVyorning, a region in which he has carried on explorations and studies each summer since 19241. The quarters provided for the departments of the Natural Sciences have in the past not been adequate, which situation has been an object of concern to the authorities at Augustana and also called forth criticism and action on the part of the standardizing agency of which Augustana Col- lege is a member. Great was the joy of all concerned when a generous gift brought about the erec- tion of The Wallberg Hall of Science, now ready for occupancy, which ample building will be the home of all our departments of Natural Science. It will be dedicated in June, 1935, at the cele- bration of the 75th anniversary of the Institution. GENERAL DESCRIPIIQN The building consists of three stories above ground with attic and basement, so that there are five floor levels available for use. The walls are of Bedford stone exterior and light buff glazed tile interior finish. Floors in the lobbies, corridors and stairs are of terazzo. In the library, class- rooms and private oflices and laboratories, they are of checkered asphalt tile. In the general. labora- ' 44 :Q A tories the floors are of smooth concrete. Ceilings in the corridors, library, and lecture hall are of light tan pulp board to harmonize with the walls. The attic is also finished with this material. Heat radiators with automatic shut-offs are arranged under the windows. A feature of the building is the arrangement of work tables around the Walls in the various laboratories. Hood and lecture table ventilation is provided throughout the building from two batteries of ventilating fans placed at the north and south ends of the attic. Compressed air is furnished throughout from a corn- pressor in the basement. The main entrance faces the campus to the east with a rear entrance on Thirty-Fifth street to the west. There is a solarium to the south and in direct communication with the biology department in the south wing of the first floor. Built into the roof to the west is a plat- form for meteorological and astronomical observations. The disposition of departments is on the horizontal plan. The south wing of the first floor is occupied by the department of biology, the north wing by a library and study hall, and a lecture hall seating 90. The departments of physics and geology occupy the second Hoor with physics in the south wing and geology in the north wing. The entire third floor is given to chemistry. In the attic there is an animal room, a dark room for optical and photographic work, and a battery and motor-generator room. Power distribution to all departments is from a panel in the third floor corridor. In the basement there is a receiving and packing room with adjoining freight elevator from an unloading platform in the rear of the building. A commodious stock room with acid and alcohol storage rooms occupy the southeast corner of the basement. These rooms communicate with dispensing rooms on the various Hoors by means of a dumb waiter. Other units in the base- ment are: an ore grinding and storage laboratory, an electrical laboratory for physics, a shop room, a machine room, a general storage room, janitor's room, lavatories, and a men's lunch room. A women's rest room opens off the rear hallway on the first floor. DEPARTMENT CDF CHEMISTRY The departgnent of chemistry is located on the third door. The general plan has been to provide one laboratory for each course together with the necessary additional units such as a weighing room, combustion room, dispensing room, class room, instructors' offices and private laboratories. Thus, there is a laboratory of general chemistry, inorganic chemistry, organic chem- istry and analytical and physical chemistry. Each laboratory is provided with standard equipment required by each course. The laboratory of general chemistry has locker and table space for twenty-four students working at one time, with a three section plan table so that seventy-two stu- dents can be accommodated in the course. One table has been temporarily omitted in this labora- tory so that ultimately there will be ninety-six lockers available. Table tops in this laboratory are of alberine stone, as are the sinks, drains and hoods throughout the building. The hoods are of Cornell type with baffle plate to provide top and floor ventilation. Gas, water, and compressed air outlets are provided at each unit of working space, with gas and water, direct and alternating current provided on the wall tables. An emergency spray is provided near the door of this labora- tory. The floor area is 925 square feet. The inorganic laboratory, A749 square feet floor space, is similarly equipped except that the table tops are of acid-proof birch, and with two lockers at each working space. There are forty-eight lockers in this laboratory. Electrical outlets are also pro- vided on the work tables. Adjoining this laboratory is a heat treating or combustion room 112 square feet, with forced ventilation in the ceiling and with wall shelves provided with water, gas, air and electricaloutlets. The organic laboratory, 546 square feet space, has especial table equipment for this course, together with a constant automatic temperature closet and refrigerator space. The laboratory of analytical and physical chemistry, 695 square feet, has independent alter- nating and direct current outlets to each working space together with the usual gas, water, and coni- prcsscd air outlets. Between these two laboratories and communicating with both is thc weighing or balance room with special glass surface balance shelves. The dispensing room, 2-110 square feet floor space, communicates directly with the general laboratory through a dutch door and also to thc corriclor. This is equipped with the necessary shelving, work hood, still, cases, etc. A classroom seating thirty-four with adjoining preparation room, private laboratory and instructoris ofliec com- pletes the department. The total Hoor area devoted to chcmistry, exclusive of corridors and stair areas is +229 square feet. ur 9 0 MJ T IILUU ' -we 1132, -sa fi I ,Q E ' 1' Ii. M .. E i I L, . .Az , ,,,, . . ' L 1 -', . .

LARSON The physics department will have at its disposal an oHLice, class room, two general labora- tories, equipment room and optics laboratory on the second floor, and a large laboratory on the bottom floor. The size of the class room is about 290 square feet, which is sufficient for about 30 tablet arm chairs. There is a demonstration table with compressed air, gas, water, alternating and direct current electric connections. There are also two sliding and one Hxed blackboard. This room will for the present be shared with the geology department. In the general laboratories, 400 and 535 square feet respectively, are two wall tables and one floor table in each, with gas, air, and electric connections, water with alberene sinks at the wall tables. These rooms are in the south end of the second floor, and have ample working space for fourteen students working at one time in the one, and sixteen or eighteen in the other. They will be used for general work in mechanics, heat and electricity. Beautiful instrument and equipment cases coyer the north wall in each. Next to the north, at the west side of the building, are the equipment store room and the optics laboratory. In the former, with a floor space of 175 square feet, is a table with water con- nection, besides two large, well-made instrument cases, of oak construction, promoted from the old laboratory. The optics laboratory will be used for work in photometry and other optical work, as well as for other special purposes requiring a dark room. It contains a special cabinet with high top and work table surrounded with light-proof curtains and has gas and electric outlets for pho- toelectric experiments, polarimetry and photometry. At the north wall is a work table equipped with water. There are also gas, air and electric connections at this side of the room, for equipping an additional table. The floor space is 227 square feet. The laboratory in the northwest corner of the basement will be used for special demonstra- tion setups, and research work, until needed for general laboratory work. The size is 726 square feet. lt contains as yet only one work table, at the west wall, equipped with water, air, gas and electric connections. The plan is to install special stands or tables as they are needed, each suited to some particular experiment or demonstration. DEPARTMENT CDF BICDLCDGY By H. C. Y,INGLING .The Hrst floor classrooms of the VVallberg Hall of Science are occupied by the Biology Depart- ment either exclusively or jointly with the other sciences. The latter is true of the lecture room and reading room, which spread across the north end of the first Hoor. The lecture room seats about 95 people and is well equipped for lecture, demonstration and projection work. Adjoining, to the south, is a preparation-room, used by the several teachers in setting up demonstrations prior to the lectures. The reading room is equipped with shelf-space for the various departmental libraries, and, of course, chairs and writing tables to make a commodious study-room. Adjoining the reading room is the Biology classroom, providing a more intimate meeting place for small classes. Next, toward the south, is a small private research room, which can be used for laboratory or ofHce. South of the main entrance. is the Biology departmental ofhce, which is also equipped to serve as the private laboratory of the department head. Next comes a laboratory accommodating 8 or 10 students. This, for the present, will be used for Psysiology, while the 18-student laboratory in the southeast co1'ner will be devoted to the courses in Botany. The southwest corner of the first floor is occupied by a 32-place laboratory, in- tended for use by the General Biology and Zoology classes. However, since the basic equipment of all these laboratories is the same, they are fully Capable of being shifted from course to course as conditions demand. fContinued on Page 156D 44 xr .

He has the difficult task of maintaining order and at the same time of remaining on friendly terms with the students. We as students cannot deny that we have a tendency to oppose some rules which have been made for the good of the school. Dean Wald has always been able to see the student's viewpoint and because of this he has always been successful in ironing out these little difficulties that arise when the students do not obey the rules. VVe-thank him for his kindness and are grateful for his keen foresight. DEAN SUNDBEIQG Since her coming to Augustana in 1932, Miss Sundberg, Dean of VVomen, has in an able manner assisted the co-eds in their college work and in their social problems. It has been under Miss Sundberg that our beautiful VVomen's Build- ing has been so splendidly maintained. She has always en- deavored to create a home-like atmosphere in the building. To give more time to her duties as Dean of lVomen she has given up the teaching of English. lt could never be said that Dean Sundbcrg shirks re- sponsibility, for in every detail she is deeply concerned with the welfare of the young women of the Augustana and with the social activities of the entire Campus. 44 pp .

The sacred responsibility of determining the true call- ing of many of our young men who desire to preach the gos- pel of Jesus Christ, and the responsibility of preparing those young men for their call falls upon Dean Bergendoiif. After serving four years at Augustana, the Dean has proved to the entire Augustana Synod that he, through his own experience as a lover of Jesus Christ, can direct those whose desire it is to proclaim that love. His sincerity, earnestness, and Christian friendships convey to us his attractive personality. His knowledge and learning gained after years of study in America and in Europe together with his experiences as a disciple of Christ blend together perfectly to form a personality that is known throughout the entire nation. Augustana. . . DEAN LEKBERG Augustana has considered itself fortunate in beinv able to have as the Dean of the School of Music such a man as Professor Lekberg. His skill at the piano, his ableness as a . teacher, his sense of humor, and his love ioi beauty have all gained for him an em 1'1ble name Dean Lekberg has been at Auoustana since 1931 and since that time has added considerably to the excellence of our school of music. This vefu he was given a new three year contract.

Persons adept in the manipulation of in- flated, hide-covered spheres and ellipsoids are enumerated, exploits of budding, but by no means amateur, politicians are lovingly recount- ed, the chronic haranguers and masters of dia- lectic receive due recognition fgenerally their firstj. The incumbent skald, if asked, would not deny the supremacy of the Class of '35, nor would he at all essay to dispute the unique posi- tion in the cosmic universe it now holds. That this class has garnered honors in generous measure the annals of the immediately preceed- ing portion of eternity bear eloquent if silent testimony. The real achievements of the Class of ,35, however, remain yet to be accomplished, They will not be attained in the sheltered, carefully simplified microcosm which the modern college has become but rather in an indifferent and V EMENT even unsympathetic world. They have not been completed in the last four years, but will be accomplished in the next forty or fifty. For these coming activities their college life should have prepared, in pa1't at least, the individuals now graduating. If the past years have taught them only to balance a teaeup, toss a football, or demolish a syllogism, the members of the class should not have come to Augustana but could have more profitably remained at home and plowed corn, or clerked in the local emporium, or helped with the sermons in some far-oif Michi- gan manse. If on the other hand they have be- come humbly mindful of the ignorance which must be the lot of everyone in this confusing era of increasing knowledge and many voices, if they have learned to meet new ideas as well as people-tolerantly but critically, if they have Caught something of the spirit of the ap- proaching age-the spirit of service, then thc members of the Class of ,35 have rcccivecl thc best Augustana can give them and have at- tained the greatest of college achievements. 44 45 av X A.-.

President : EVALD OLSENIUS 1 Middler men, what now? lVhither bound? That is what is written in the questioning coun- tenances pictured above. We've had a busy year-two of them in fact-appropriating knowledge and assimilating theory. Thus equipped, we venture forth from Zion Hill unto the uttermost partsn of the United States. l rom the northermost state of the Ten Thous- and Lakes to the southernmost of the Rio Grandg from the rock-bound coast of Maine to the western hounds of the Golden State shall we carry on the work of our class. Middlers in name, inte-rnes in truth, assistants hy as- piration, we go where we are sent. But we hopt' to rcturn in time to ercate an illustrious pictorial section in the Rocxi-:Tv-I of nineteen thirty seven. Our class is one of extremes, ranging from :1 live-foot. one hundred pound man to il hud- ding theologuc who stands six-foot thrcc and x-.cighs two lllllltl1'l'il and thirty pounds. 'l'hc liast has arldi-fl six nicn to our lIlll1llJQ'l' of twenty-eight. Two men were born in Swe- den and another in India. Four from our class are married-the rest are living the normal seminary life. The Middler class is another excellent ex- cmplification of the theory that dogmatics and athletics can be well co-ordinatcd. Recogniz- ing that the Seminary should offer training to its students for Ladies' Aids as well as other phases of congregrationril work. we have spon- sored coffee parties from time to timc. Not only does everyone else congratulate Prof. Ytahlstrom on heing our class :idvi-or. hut also do we congratulate ourselves on hav- ing his hind and sympathetic guidancc. XVL' arc deeply grateful to him. For thc opportunities offcrcd us in rcalizing,g more deeply thc purposc of our Seminary cur- riculum and for thc cnriching l'Xl7t'l'lI'IlC'4'S that hum' drawn us closer to the Hon of God. xvc arc united in ,Ql'1ltlfllIll'. cc ur .- ' '+'A'L ' . .L If A , .7 , q-1 , -A 4' Agni' , ...

He also intimated that this book was not much different from other annuals. Since that time His Honor has almost gone back on his word for he hasdone something which may be distinctive. He has dared in the face of untold opposition to put the scenic section in the middle of the book. Before doing such a thing, he carried on a lengthy and inclusive investi- gation among the Colleges of our country. A questionnaire was sent to three hundred forty Editors for the purpose of discovering in what manner the scenic beauties of their three hundred forty schools were to be portrayed in the yearly publication. No answers were received from thirty of the Editors but of the remaining three hundred ten, three hundred one were printing the scenic section in the front of the book. Of these three hundred one, t.wo hun- dred thirty sent sample layouts funsolicitedj showing fourteen various sys- tems ranging from small two by t.wo cuts in one color to full page bleed-off' pictures in six colors. Nine of the Colleges were not printing any scenic sec- tion at all because of the damage done to the campuses by erosion and dust storms. On later investigation it was found that of the thirty schools that did not answer the questionnaire, twelve had succumbed under the depression, but of the remaining eighteen schools nothing was heard. Evidently these Edi- tors had an indifferent attitude towards the outcome of this scholarly study. After careful perusal.0f the statistics, His Honor found that not one school was going to print the scenic section in the middle portion of the pub- lication. Immediately he decided that he would do that very thing. Here was a chance to do something different. On the following pages he has placed a few views of the Augustana Campus. He feels that at last he has climbed to the highest pinnacle of editorial success by doing something which he be- lieves to be unique. If, by chance, any student at Augustana should ever discover an annual that has the scenic pages in the middle of the book, he is urged to keep that information to himself and not make a liar out of the editor. yi-,,--.-fpnx Eg S' -, A X ' :ir , Ai ' in x YKW - 'r , .

LQ..-'asa-::1w T' A ' AUGUSTAIXIA 4' SI-ICDRTV PP The student body of Augustana have had a secret desire for many years. They have wanted the football champion- ship of the Little Nineteen Conference. Now that it is at Augie, it is interesting to speculate as to the reasons why no rival team was able to overcome the Vikings. One reason of course is the team itself. They were a group of boys that had all the requirements of football players-weight, speed, intelligence, and experience. But in spite of this the prime reason for their success was the power behind the lines- Shorty Almquist. The student body literally doff their hats to the man who was instrumental in bringing the coveted championship to Augustana. Shorty came to Augustana. from Minnesota in 1928. Since that time he has developed seven teams that have, collectively, won eighty percent of their games. This is a record that very few colleges in Illinois have bettered. He has done his job so well that he has been given a three-year contract as head coach of all sports and as director of ath- letics. VVe know that his work in the next three years will be highly satisfactory and we hope that at the end of three years he will find it expedient to remain longer at Augustana.

Swedberg, Art to his Augie friends, is another factor in the development of winning teams at Augustana. The Major has been director of athletics at the school since 1919. During these sixteen years, besides doing the work of the director of athletics, he has, as a basketball coach, estab- lished the enviable reputation of consistently fashioning teams of green material into ones of championship calibre during the course of the season. Three cage championships have been copped for the Blue and Gold during Art's reign as mentor. This last season he was appointed as the Direc- tor of Health and head of the growing Physical Education department. Because of his duties Art turned over the coach- ing of the basketball team to Almquist who developed an- other excellent team. Art captained the Norse cage squad for two years prior to his graduation from Augustana. In 1917, as a member of the championship Augie quintet, he was given all-con- ference rating by every writer in the Little Nineteen. lVe wish him success in his new duties and we know that he will ever exemplify the true spirit of an Augustana alumnus and instructor. ,.,.

Heis been a member of the Vik- ing crew for three years and hasn't gone to any college other than Augustana. Smiley is completing his college career in three years- all the more reason why coaches get gray hair prematurely. Smiley is the type that coaches want around for four years-or longer. Smiley's chief understudy was Wfarren Richards, a fresh- man who hails from Galva. Three men, two of them lettermen and the other a freshman, comprised the material at left tackle. Joe Choate, the pudgy boy from Moline, and Sam Oakleaf, another Moline product, were the veterans. Frank Potter of Hutchinson, Minn., was the newcomer. He was of consid- erable value, too, as both Choate and Oakleaf were bothered with wobbly knees. However, opponents would have hated to have met any more players like Oakleaf-even with wobbly knees. Coming to center, it is found that Bill Boh- man, Moline sophomore, appeared to have the upper hand at that position. Bill stayed out oflschool last fall and put on a few additional pounds. Brice Johnson, Davenport, was of the type who plays hard, even when he was on the bench. In other words, Coach Almquist knew, as the older students did, that Johnson was al- ways willing to fight. Paul Stephenson, Galva, was the third member of the trio which claimed center as its home base. Left and right guard positions were handled respectively by Felix Rogenski and Gus Larson, both of Moline. Rogenski is a weight man on the track squad and never seemed to get rattled in a grid contest-even when opposing St. Am- brose. Larson, familiar in quad-city football circles, having served as captain of the Moline high school outfit in 1932, was chosen as the Viking captain for next year. Milton Lundahl of Madrid, Iowa, and Bob Hedman, Unbeaten . ' Unrivsled . 44 an IXIIIXIETEEN Geneseo, were the sureties for Larson, and Bill Stevens of Rock Island served as the principal reserve for Rogenski. Allen Miller of Rock Island, was a freshman who gave the veterans a run for their money. At left tackle, Steve Patchell, a freshman from Maywood, was Coach Alrnquist's big gun. This was his first year at Augustana, and he made it a big one. His build is ideal and he looks like a football player. Choate helped to take care of this tackle berth after Harry Mead, the Maywood giant, was injured. Hal Lindfelt, Davenport, was stationed at right end. Lindfelt, despite his pleasant looks on the campus, is one tough boy when l1e's in the lineup. Karl Graflund of Moline, a scrap- per was Hal's understudy, together with Frank- lin Anderson of Chicago and Merrill Anderson of Moline. One of the co-captains of the Augie eleven was Herb McCall. He played at blocking hack, and if there was a more consistent grid- der in the Little Nineteen conference, you'll have to name him. Herb has made the grand total of two touchdowns during his three years, career as an Augie player, but he paved the way for most of 'em since he's been working for Ahnquist. Herb claims Pittsburgh, Pa., as his residence. Loren Gelhar, DeVVitt, Iowa, was another blocker or quarterback. He went in when McCall went out. Left halfback is the most sought-after posi- cx pp 1lt4.. ..1.. !,. 4.1'rrmy -.IL tion on the team. There were Fran Grumley, fast stepping gentleman from DelVitt, and the incomparable Bud Rehr from Forest Park as chief contestants for the post. Rehr can pass, and does, on the slightest provocation. He also can punt. Norman Dahlgren of Chicago is ex- pected to go places next season. Red Innes of Davenport wound up the left halfback four- some. Co-captain Bob lVIarack, second in national scoring last season, who collected 95 points for the Swedes to gain that honor, was the direct- ing genius of the team. Bobby is a Maywood product who called the signals and did most of the punting, passed well and received long, short and middle-distance heaves. In other words, Marack was a mighty important cog in the Augie machine. Jim LaBarge served as Marack's good man Friday.. LaBarge hails from Fergus Falls, lVIinn. Cliff Scheuerman, who startled the Augustana grid fans this fall, is the fair-haired lad who held down the fullback job. That assignment in Al1nquist's system is not particularly easy, but Scheuerrnan evidently knew the ropes. IN'hen- ever yards were needed for a first down, Scheuerinan made them. Lloyd Johnson of Fergus Falls proved his worth in the St. Ambrose game. Coach Ahn- quist often used him as a battering rain. He shows great promise for the next few years. Jim Edwards was a hard working 1'L'SL'l'VL' who could be depended on. 'I 51' gk ? - .- 35 'rises -1- Mi, am, .-- V, ----1 . ,. .. 1 A 4 ' 'S , - P IN- ffifgi. X :QA ' 3'?FAg ff , .

I ff l ' 1934 can SEASQN Opening their 19341 grid schedule with Iowa VVesleyan, one of the toughest squads of the Iowa conference, Coach Shorty Almquist and his band of potential Norse gridders started the season off right by making the break neces- sary in the game to put them in scoring posi- tion and then capitalizing on it to beat their Iowa opponents, 6 to 0. The Vikings caught the Methodists off guard in the second period when Bobby Marack got off a quick kick deep into the VVesleyan territory. The Methodists punted back to their own 36-yard line, but that was close enough for the Augie men to start a ma1'cl1 goalward. On two successive plays, Marack and Scheuerman carried the ball to their opponent's 11-yard marker. After a pass and two crashes at the line, Cliff Scheuerman carried the ball over for the only score of the game. Steve Patchell and Frank Potter, fresh- men tackles, turned in choice bits of perfor- mance to add to Coach Almquist's reserve power in the line, but the play of Felix Rogenski and Gus Larson, veteran guards, was outstanding on defense ......... .... In a game that clearly showed the Augie coaching staff the power which the team had, the Norsemen sent their second Iowa opponent back to the other side of the river on the short end of a 21 to 0 score. The victim was Penn College of Oskaloosa, who were outgained from scrimmage by a one to two margin and out- counted on first downs 7 to 13 by the Viking men- The Augie eleven showed their wares in the first quarter by marching down the field for four consecutive first downs and then fool- ing their opponents by tossing a pass that was good for a touchdown. Fran Grumley started the Augieites off towards their second touch- down by taking the pigskin for a 37-yard ride down to Penn's 5-yard strip. Marack took the ball over from this point. The third score was the result of a long pass which Bud Rehr heaved to Marack, who had stationed himself on the goal line to score the third marker unmolested. As in the first game the Augustana line dis- played great strength, but the work of Cliff Scheuerman and Herbie McCall in backing up the line on defense was outstanding ..... An open date in the football schedule gave Coach Almquist and his assistants, Mart Knanishu and Lee Brissman, two weeks' time to give the team some needed instructions on theohner points of football as well as a brief -rest after the two Iowa games, for these op- ponents were in no way breathers on the Augie card. Knox College was Augie's next opponent, and, although defeated twenty times in a row, the annual affair between the two colleges was more than a football game. Augustana won their first Little Nineteen conference victory by hand- ing the Siwash their twenty-first defeat by the score of 21 to 0, but the Norsemen knew they had been in a game, especially in the first half. Patchell brought the Vikings out of the first quarter slump by blocking and then recovering a Knox punt on the Knox 15-yard line. Marack Scheuerman, hard to clown . 44 97 1 Q ,E jfiir' . . Rebr gallops took the ball over on the next play for the initial touchdown. Bill Bohman intercepted a Knox pass at the start of the third quarter to start the Swedes off toward another touchdown. Scheuerman and Marack collaborated in taking the ball down to scoring distance, from which point Marack again skirted end for a second counter. Late in the third period, Marack in- tercepted another Knox pass and ran it back to the Knox 410-yard line. Two plays later, with Marack carrying the ball both times, Augustana rang up another 'six points to put the game on ice. Patchell, Rogenski, Lindfelt, and Smiley, who also added, the three points after all the touchdowns, were the defensive stars of the game, while Marack provided the punch on of- fense, aided materially by McCall's splendid blocking. . - .- ........ -. . . The Vikings bewildered a stubborn Irish eleven from St. Ambrose College with a decep- tive attack that left no doubt in the minds of 44,000 fans attending of their claim to the 1934 tri-city college grid title in their annual scrap at the Rock Island stadium on a rain-soaked field. The final score was 8 to 0. The first half of the game found the ball in mid-air most of the time, the two team leaders electing to punt it out and wait for a break. But no break came and the scoring was left to be done in the second half. Augustana's first successful scoring drive got under way after they received the kickoff starting the third period. Marack and Grumley advanced the ball to their own 11:1-yard line, but a penalty wiped out most of their gains. However, the determined Norse were not to be denied, for Lloyd Johnson, the ghost of whom the local newspapers had been writing, Came through at this stage and tore off 28 yards on a brilliant smash through cc 44 the Irish line, carrying the ball to tl1e op- ponentzs 33-yard line. A pass, Marack to Smiley, put the spheroid on the 20-yard line, and another heave completed successfully by the same men put the ball on the Irish 5-yard line. After Marack failed to gain on an attempted line buck, he shot a short pass to Smiley that put the ball on the 1-yard line. But here the Ambrosian line stopped the Vikings and took the ball on downs. The Irish prepared to kick out of danger, but Gus Larson broke up their plans by breaking through the Ambrose line, blocking the punt and then recovering it in the end zone for a. safety against the Irish. Receiving the kick-off the Norse headed goal- ward on a concentrated drive in which Fran Grumley started the ball rolling by a M-yard gallop to the Ambrose 31-yard line. Hal Lind- felt caught a pass that advanced the ball a dozen more yards, and then Fat Johnson, the mystery man , carried about half the Irish squad with him to the 12-yard line. The third quarter ended as Grumley tossed a successful pass to Marack, advancing the ball to the 7-yard line. On the first play of the final period, Marack was the third man on a double lateral pass, Johnson to Grumley to Marack, which caught the Irish off balance and gave the Augustana rooters something to cheer about. A futile Ambrosian passing attack was squelched, and the Swedes held the Irish in check to win again. The play of the whole team was nearly perfect, but Gus Larson, Felix Rogenski, and mystery man Johnson stood out throughout the fray .............. Thanks to Don Smiley and his place-kicking toe, Augustana beat North Central, 1-L to 13, at Naperville in a game that almost turned into an upset of the Vikings.

At this stage the North Central lads decided to play football, and before the gun went off they had scored 13 points, kicking the point after touchdown after the first touchdown. A substitute goal kicker was sent into the game to convert the point after touchdown after the sec- ond score had been made, but he failed and Augie won by a lone point. Coach Almquist's boys started moving goalward early in the game when a 22-yard pass from Marack to Smiley was good for a touchdown. The touchdown followed a re- covered fumble by Scheuerman on the 25-yard line and a gain by Rehr. Smiley followed his touchdown up by successfully kicking the goal from placement. Graflund, subsituting for Lindfelt, blocked and recovered a punt on the enemy 8-yard line in the third period to set the stage for another Augie touchdown. Marack took the ball over on the next play on a reverse. Smiley then kicked the point which later proved to be the margin of victory. The play of the boys on the left side of the line, that is Smiley, Oakleaf, and Rogenski, was a thorn in the side of the Naperville lads and a comfort to Coach Almquist throughout the game. McCall's play in backing up the line on defense also added to the discomfort of the North Central ball car- riers, who found themselves too late to wreck the Norse grid hopes ......... Lake For-est's gridders, who last year sank the Viking's titular aspirations with their only defeat of the season, were entertained at Au- gustana's 15th annual homecoming party with a 13 to O shellacking. Playing in a sea of mud and with rain falling off and on during the entire game, the Vikings swam and sloshed their way through the muck for two touchdowns in the first half and then held their opponents scoreless throughout the remainder of the game. After gaining possession of the ball on their own 20-yard line, the Norse started an 80-yard march down the field in tl1e first quarter of the game, and through the co-operation of the ef- forts of McCall, Marack, Rehr and Scheuer- man, the bal1.was carried over the goal line seven plays after the Norse had gained posses- sion of the pigskin. Considering the fact that the field was not one in which offensive play could be carried on effectively, the long march was a remarkable display of football by the in- trepid Vikings. The new Augie scoreboard clicked again in the second period when Lloyd Johnson carried the ball 15 yards on two plays to the Lake Forest 35-yard strip, from which point Grumley and Marack carried the ball 344 more yards with a trip apiece. Johnson then crossed the goal line by crashing through the center of the line. The scoring ended at this point of the game, the remainder of the game finding the Lake Forest ball carriers repulsed by a line they found hard to pass. Grumley contributed some Hne running in the second half that at times looked as if he were headed for the goal line, but the mud and rain handi- capped any effective running. The Lake Forest lads tried a frenzied passing attack late in the fourth period, but the alert secondary of the Norse broke up all attempts ....... Augustana won their fourth Little Nineteen conference victory by trouncing the Westerii Teachers outfit at Macomb by a 20 to '7 score. The Swedes evidently intended to get as far ahead of the Leathernecks as possible, for af- ter gaining possession of the ball a few minutes after play started. the Norsemen opened up their attack with Marack and Scheuerman car- rying the ball to the middle of the field. Inter- Looks like a loss, but be made 4 yards KEi'QPf,fZi'T?ii' interference for Laldarge MCCdii VLJDS ference on an Augie pass by a Macomb gridder put the ball on the Leatherneckis 30-yard line. A spinner by Scheuerman netted a first down, and Marack added five more yards on the next play. ' Perfect timing featured the scoring play when a pass by Rehr, a catch and a reverse of Held by Smiley, blocking by the rest of the Augie men, and Marack's blocking of the last two secondary men gave Augustana its Hrst six points. Smiley added the extra point with a placement kick. Rogeniski intercepted a Macomb forward pass later on in the first period deep in the Leatherneck's territory to put the Swedes again in' scoring position. Af- ter advancing ithe ball a few yards on line smashes, the Ndrsemen elected to try a double lateral pass, which the Augie gridders used with considerable success throughout the sea- son. The play was successful, the ball being passed from center to Scheuerman, who threw a short pass to McCall, who caught the ball, feinted towards the Macomb line, and then pivoted soon enough to lob a pass to Rehr, who was running wide around end with no opposing gridder within tackling distance. Rehr made the touchdown standing up. The Macomb grid- ders made the contest interesting from the spec- tator's viewpoint when one of their members blocked an Augie 'punt and recovered on the Vikings 5-yard line. From this point they made a touchdown and kicked goal, but that was the end of their contributions to the scor- ing of the day. The Norse scored again in the final period, when Rehr advanced the ball 4:5 yards on a beautiful piece of open field running from a punt formation from his own 5-yard line. Augustana advanced the ball to the 22- yard line, and from there Scheuerman took the ball over behind 'excellent interference for the third touchdown on a power drive. By winning, the Norse gridders registered their fourth con- ference victory and tied Carbondale Teachers for the lead in the Little 19 conference with four wins, no defeats and no ties ..... Augustana continued their winning way by easing past Monmouth, 21 to 20, in the closest kind of a football game 3,800 howling fans ever saw on Ericcson field. Norse supporters watched the Swedes protect a 1-1-point advan- tage at the outset of final period. That mar- gin was reduced to only one point when the iinal gun went off. The Scots scored Hrst af- ter completing a 25-yard pass. The Monmouth kicker added the extra point from placement to put Augustana seven points behind. A minute later the Vikings came back powerfully with Marack carrying the ball 30 yards to the Monmouth LL-yard line. On a reverse he scored a touchdown. Smiley added the extra point to tie the game up. In the second period, after an exchange of punts, Augie marched the ball down to the Scot 23-yard line, from which point Marack took the ball over on a double reverse play. Smiley added the extra point to put the Vikings in the lead, 14- to 7, as the half ended. The Vikings came back strong in the third quar- ter, and Lloyd Johnson, playing at fullback, put the Swedes in position for their third score by recovering a Monmouth fumble on the Scot's 20-yard line. Bud Rehr advanced the ball four yards, and then Marack crossed the in- vader's goal standing up for his third touchdown of the game. Smiley booted the ball across the bar for what proved to be the deciding point of the game. However, the Monmouth lads were still in the game when one of their eleven rc:- covered Marack's fumble on the Augie 2-yard Q' iff!

Bill Bohman, Loren Gelhaar, and Hal Lindfelt turned in some fine defensive work in holding the Scots without gains for three downs, but the hlonrnouth lads scored on fourth down. The kick for the extra point was good, and the Monmouth team was again a dangerous foe. After receiving the kickoff, the Scots ad- vanced the ball slowly to the LM-yard line. The Augie line was showing signs of weakening while the fast Scot backfield was beginning to function. Chambers, the Monmouth colored flash, romped off for a touchdown on the next play, but his attempt for the extra point failed, and the Augie team was still ahead by a lone point. Receiving the kickoff again, the Scots launched a determined passing attack that brought the ball down to the Augie 8-yard line. But the great Augustana line reached greater heights when they set back the level-headed runners of Monmouth for losses that put the ball on the 15-yard line with fourth down and goal to go for the Scots. The huge crowd of fans were tense with excitement when the Mon- mouth leader called for a try for a field goal that would put the Monmouth team in the lead. But the Scot kicker must have absorbed some of the tenseness of the situation for he stubbed his foot on the ground, and the pigskin dribbled along the field, going over to the Augustana team on downs. Three plays later the game was over, and Augie won, keeping their record clean ............. , . . With a chance for a clear claim to the Little 19 title, the Augustana gridmen went into the Carthage game the following week with much zip and swamped their opponent, 4+1 to 7, as McCall, Marack, Scheuerman, and LaBarge scored a touchdown apiece, while Rehr romped past the last marker twice. Smiley kicked five consecutive placements to add to the scorer's work. Fortunately for Augustana, Carbondale Teachers, who were at the top of the league with the Norse the previous week-end, were beaten by Illinois Wesleyan, thus leaving the Vikings alone at the top of the Little 19, un- defeated and untied in conference competition. Flying Sam . BAINICDUET VICTCDIQV You could feel that air of expectancy around school. It was that feeling of suspense which proclaims in no uncertain terms the coming of final examinations, nor was it that spirit of ani- mation which usually heralds the long-awaited respite from studies in the Christmas holidays. For most of us the thoughts of Christmas had all but been eclipsed by something of more im- mediate interest: You've guessed it-it was the Augustana Victory banquet. We had all heard of the Greeks and their Olympic heroes4those renowned young Athen- ians who alone were honored-with laurel crown. We remembered how even the sacred temples of Athena were scarcely safe from partial destruc- tion at the hands of the loyal Athenians satiated to a point of frenzy by victories of their great heroes. But we bf Augustana had no laurel for the heads of our boys, nor did we have Greek temples to demolish. What were we to do? There was the old Boys' Dorm that would have made a blazing-good bonfire, but forces beyond our control nipped that project in the bud be- fore it was fairly started. We thought of the Old Science Hall, too, but hearing that the North Central Association was sending visi- tors to Augustana in the spring, we thought it the better part of judgment to leave that ancient and historic monument intact just to give them a chance to condemn it once more as inefficient , Imagine our state of mind. There we were with twenty-one lusty football heroes on our hands-men who had gone out and won the championship of the Little Nineteen in the face of almost insurmountable opposition-, and yet we had no real way of showing them our en- thusiasm. Then someone suggested a victory banquet. The idea took hold like wild-fire, and the whole school settled down to make the af- fair :1 success. Dr. Serenius took charge of the general ar- rangements, and the Pep Committee helped to facilitate the preparations by adding its un- stinted support through ticket sales and excel- lent work of decorating the Gym. VVith such a combination of the administration and the student body, there was little doubt that the banquet would be a success, but when the Rock Island Chamber of Commerce offered to co- operate with the school, the banquet began to take on the proportions of one of the most outstanding events of the years. At last the day arrived, and with it came Dr. Spears from the University of VVisconsin to participate with us in our victory celebration. Dr. Spears had an especial interest in August- ana's football team because of his former asso- ciation with Coach Almquist at the University of Minnesota. This fact alone was sufficient to recommend him to us, and the words to us that night were in themselves one of the rea- sons why the Augustana Victory Banquet re- mains deeply impressed upon our memories. To top the whole affair, gold footballs were presented to the letter-men, and a large cup was given by the Rock Island Chamber of Commerce to the school as a mark of the in- terest and recognition which the community at large has in Augustana's success on the grid- iron. This cup, which so admirably exempli- fies the good will and friendly relations exist- ing between the leaders of the community of Rock Island and the school, has now taken its place among the many trophies which shall remain as a constant reminder of Augustanaxs achievements in the past. Also the players gave Shorty a small gift as a token of their appre- ciation of his leadership. Thus, December 5, 193-L, will go down in his- tory as the day when the students, the faculty. and the community at large all worked together to make the Augustana Victory Banquet a coin- plete success. 44 57 h I aiu . . s My A - .n'.'v 4 'f' . 513-1-.13 Fffgifffili 'T C T I '- Y .

Almquistis 1934-35 Viking cagers. Augustana ran up 11 victories during the season and dropped only four contests. Led by Captain Charles Bud:' Rehr, a senior from River Forest, Ill., the Norsemen estab- lished the best record in cage warfare regis- tered at Augie in many years. And for a time it looked as though Coach Almquist, directing the cage team on his own when or Arthur V. Swedberg decided to relinquish his coaching duties, was going to inspire another Augustana team to a conference championship ..... VVestern State, however, proved to be a stumbling block. On Feb. 12, the Augustana humpty-dumpty fell from the wall by a 27 to 23 count. Insult was added to injury Feb. 15, when the Norsemen dropped a heart-breaking tilt to Knox at Galesburg, 29 to 23. That week was all that prevented the Blue and Gold from the circuit cage title, however, as Almquist's dribblers came back strong only a week later and plastered Monmouth all over the August- ana floor, 4:6 to 29 .......... With such a center as Harry Mead, who walks along in the stratosphere at the height of 6 feet, 1015 inches, Augustana was a well- respected team whenever it went into action. The Vikings had the satisfaction of downing St. Ambrose in the last game of the Augie sea- son after tl1e Irish had chalked up 14 straight wins. Augustana's Mead had more than a little to do with the Saints' first downfall of their season, too, collecting 18 points for the even- ingis activities ............ Mead banged the conference hoops for 109 points in 10 games. Gib Swanson, Moline junior and forward, made S5 points in the cir- cuit, and Matty Czerwinski, another Moline forward, contributed 70 points toward the Q Anderson, Linnberg, Mead, Rehr, Swanson, Moe, Miller, Peterson.

Butch Mil- ler, Davenport guard, was always a scoring threat in the Viking attack. Miller came through for 65 points in the conference, and was a stand-out man in both St. Ambrose tilts. Swanson and Miller were named on the coaches' honor list in the Little Nineteen all-conference selection.............. Augustana started out with a rush, conquer- ing an alumni squad, 61 to 31. The next week Cornell invaded the Augie gym and went back to Mount Pleasa-nt, Iowa, with the long end of a 38 to 34: decision. The big surprise came before the Christmas holiday season when the Norsemen tied the can on proud Northern State Teachers at DeKalb, who for two years had held the conferehce title. Augie doubled the score on the Profs, 448 to 2411 . . . '. . . The Swedes proved the DeKalb upset was no fluke, next defeating Bradley, 35 to 22, and Knox, 112 to 31 for their second and third cir- cuit triumphs. Carthage was the next outfit to bow before the Viking machine, 39 to 36. The Augustana campus was plunged into deep de- spair after the next game, as St. Ambrose pulled one out of the fire, 34 to 32, in the last eight seconds of the game ........ Eureka had to be the victim of the aroused Viking i1'e as the latter avenged the St. Am- Anzlerson, Linnberg. Moe brose reversal by taking it out on the unsuspect- ing Eurekans, 57 to 28. Mead went wild in that tilt, collecting 23 points. Monmouth was the succeeding Augustana scalp. The Scots went down fighting, but Augie copped the close game, 34 to 32, as lVIiller did a St. Ambrose by sink- ing a field goal in the closing second of the contest ............... The Norsemen found time to take care of VVheaton in a successful manner, 41 to 32, be- fore losing their Hrst conference tilt at Macomb. The less said about the second Knox encounter, the better-regardless, Augie lost, and the con- ference title hopes vanished. Monmouth and St. Ambrose were added to the Viking victory column, and the season was all wrapped up in a pretty blue ribbon. A game scheduled Feb. 22, at Eureka, was cancelled because of a scar- let fever epidemic at that institution. So that leads us up to what's left for next year. At a banquet March 12, Harry Mead was elected captain of the 1935-36 outfit, succeeding Boot,' Rehr. Others who are scheduled to be back from the regular squad are Swanson, Mil- ler, and Czerwinski-quite a nice little nucleus for Coach Almquist. Also present next year will be Reserves Merrill Anderson, Stan Zelnio, Ed Moe, Don Clark, Frank Anderson, and Walt Holmer.

Bud, always dependable and always in the best of condition, served as a capable captain. Al- though he seldom broke any records in a 'scoring way, Rehr's defensive play was nothing short of spectacular. V Harry Mead-Old Watch Tower came in mighty handy torthe Augustana team this year and will lead the Vikings next season. Mead, who stands 6 feet, IOM? inches into the ether, led the team in scoring-getting 109 points in the conference, plus 41,8 points in non-conference tilts. Gib Swanson-Augustana's one-man side- show, whose playing in every game made him a marked man. Swanson, the only cager on the regular team to bear a Swedish moniker, was always a team man and an expert ball handler. He'll be back next season-we hope. Butch Miller-Christened Emerson, Butch had St. Ambrose wishing he'd never left the Davenport side of the river. Miller's playing was always good and as energetic as a house- wife during spring housecleaning. 44 PP Matty Czerwinski-Matty's chief claim to fame was the first Knox game when 'iLoogan bagged 17 points. Czerwinski more than made up for his small size by his speed and his ac- curate eye, and if he does as well next year, everybodyyll be more than satished. John Linnberg-Mead's understudy, who graduates this year. John, a big Moliner, got a letter at the end ofithe season and was always one of Almquist's main reserve players. Merrill Anderson-Another Moline forward, who looks like a Sure thing for next season. Merrill is reputed to have the best basket-eye on the squad. Stan Zelnio-Matty Czerwinski's room-mate on road trips and fellow Loogan . Stan is a dribbling fool. Sometimes we wonder if he knows himself where he's headed-but he gets there. Stan will be a candidate for Rehr's position next year. Ed Moe-hloe hails from Rhinelander, Wlis., Major Arthur Swedberg's home town. Moc is a freshman and has the makings of a mighty fine basketeer.

Brandt DeRocker Coach William V. Kaminski's track hopefuls went through the season without winning a single meet, yet, individually, some of the members of the squad turned in creditable performances to warrant a Suc- cessful campaign. Tracksters from WVestern State Teachers College at Macomb invaded Rock Island on April 28 and handed Augie runners their first defeat by the score of 81 to 50. Rogenski scored firsts in the shot put and discus, Brandt showed his heels in the mile and 2-mile runsg and DeRocker did the same in the half-mile to cop outstanding honors for the Norse. The following week-end the Vikings wound up in third place in the triangular meet with Carthage and Monmouth. Rogenski shattered one record and failed by inches to set another, He bettered his own record in the discus with a throw of 132 feet and scored the only other first for Augustana by heaving the shot put an inch less than the record. Other point winners for Augustana were: Brandt, second in the 2-mile rung Garstang, fourth in the mile, Lovett, fourth in the century and third in the 2203 Snively, second in low hurdles, Ogg, second in high hurdles, Denecke, tied for fourth in high jumpg Rehr, fourth in javeling and Sundquist, tied for fourth in pole Vault. Finding their opponents too fast in daylight, the Norse tried night track with Cartilage College, but the venture was just that-the Vik'ngs lost, 42-2X3 to 88-1!3. Snively, Ogg, and Rogenski scored firstsg Garstang, Gustafson, Brandt, DeRocker, Rogenski, Cecil, and Sundquist came through with seconds, Brandt, Snively, Ogg, Lovett, Lunde, and Rehr scored points with thirds, and Linnberg and Denecke to- gether scored two-thirds of a point. The Swedes next invaded Davenport for the an- nual mix with the Irish of S't. Ambrose College. The Ambrosians won by a 91-1X2 to 44-112 count, in a meet in which 13 dual meet marks fell. Ogg was the only Augie man to set a new mark, break- ing the broad jump mark. Rogenski and Deisenroth scored firsts in the discuss and 2-mile run respec- tively for the only other firsts scored by the Norse. Coach Kaminski entered Snively, Ogg, and Rogen- ski in the Little Nineteen conference tra-ck meet held at Monmouth, May 25 and 26. All three men quali- fied for the final events, Rogenski placed third in the discus, and Ogg won fourth place in the high hurdles to score five points for Augie. Men who scored enough points to become eligible for letters were: Chester Brandt and James Gar- stang, distance meng Robert Snively and Donald Ogg, hurdlersg William DeRocker, half-miler, and Felix Rogenski, weights. Rogenski was chosen hon- orary captain for the season by his teammates.

The organizations aims were to raise inter-class and intramural athletics to a high plane at Augustana. lt desired to create a greater in- terest in these athletics. In the last few years the society has been one of the active bodies of the campus, sponsoring events which the en- tire student body has enjoyed. 49 Harry and Frans Victorson should be given much praise for their splendid work in develop- ing a strong cheering student body. It has been a long time since Augustana has seen such able leaders as the twins. They were always eager and willing to stir up a little enthusiasm among the students. 'We hope that next year the twins will be able to lead the students in cheering the Vikings to another championship.

The last season was very successful despite two defeats in dual meets. The Augie players, however, later de- feated both teams which managed to win from the local swingers. Augustana turned in two easy victories over Cornell College of Mount Vernon, Iowa, and one each over Saint Am- brose and VVestern Teachers of Macomb. In the sectional play of the Little Nineteen tourna- ment at Peoria, every Augie representative, ex- cept Jack DeFraties, was eliminated in the first round in both doubles and singles. DeFraties won his iirst round singles match but then fell before Davis of Bradley, who later won the championship of the conference. Last year's squad consisted of Robert Doug- lass, Jack DeFraties, Carl Carlson, Merrill An- derson, and Tom Brown. ' THQNB Augustana, 25 Augustana, 65 Augustana, 2, Augustana, 55 Augustana, 55 Augustana, 4-5 For this year Carlson, Anderson, and Brown are back. As this book is going to press the boys are being groomed to meet the schedule which is much larger than that of last year. The team is expected to meet Carthage and Gustavus Adolphus in one match apiece, and two matches apiece are to be held with Knox, Monmouth, St. Ambrose, lVestern Teachers, and Cornell College. Augustana was without a swimming team last year, and this season no dual meets were scheduled. However, in the Little Nineteen meet held at Monmouth this year Augustana sent two rep- resentatives, Franklin Anderson, a freshman, and Bill Xander, a senior. Xander failed to qualify in the diving events, but Anderson placed second in the finals of the Hfty yard free style swim and fourth in the one hundred yard free style event.

Although yet not completed at the time of this writing, present tendencies indicate that all events will be completed by the end of the college semester. In the first two events of the intramural sea- son, new champions were crowned. Omicron Sigma Omicron fraternity copped the touch football title by winning all its games to displace Phi Omega Phi fraternity, the defending titlists. In basketball, Gamma Alpha Beta beat Pi Up- silon Gamma fraternity in a play-off game to capture the cage championship. The defending titlists, Omicron Sigma Omicron fraternity, finished in fifth place. However, in the B league of the cage event, the Osos defended their title successfully to win the crown for the second year in a row. Because only six teams were entered, the touch football season was considerably shorter than last year, however, the competition en- countered was of a higher type. The difference in standings between the second and third place teams, the Pugs and Pops respectively, was a matter of percentage points rather than games won and lostg Likewise, in the fight over the last three positions, percentage determined the ratings. This was caused by the many tie games of the football season. The final stand- ings were: Osos, first, Pugs, secondg Pops, third, Juniors, fourth, Middlers, Hfthg and Bos, sixth. U The final standings in the AH league in bas- ketball found the Grabs, Pugs, and seminary Middlers tied for the top. In the play-off, the Pugs drew the Middlers, while the Gabs drew a bye. The Pugs beat the Middlers, 29 to 23, but the Grabs were too strong for the Pugs in the finals and defeated them by the score of 23 to 17. Members of the winning team were: Herb McCall, Fran and Mark Grumley, Bob Jones, Jim Edwards, and Karl Graflund. Teams which competed in the A league were the following, in the order of their final standing: Gabs, Pugs, Middlers, Pops, Osos, Juniors, Roundels, and Bos. In the BH league, the Oso lads again romped off with the title by keeping their undefeated record of last year intact. The remainder of the teams finished in this order: Pugs, Juniors, Independents, Gabs, and Middlers. The Junior class basketball team, defending titlists, retained their title for the third year in a row when they beat the freshmen in the finals of the class tourney by the score of 39 to 19. The juniors gained the finals by upsetting the seniors, 39 to 33, while the freshmen were wal- loping the sophs, 32 to 22, to gain the right to meet the juniors for the inter-class title. How- ever, the Juniors squelched any hopes the frosh may have entertained by beating them handily in the Hnals. The sophs won third place by handing the seniors a 37 to 23 shellacking. Members of the winning junior team were the following cagers: Matty Czerwinski, Stan Zelnio, Harry Mead, VVilson Hunt, Eddie I. Ande1'son, Jimmy Edwards, Emerson Miller, and Gib Swanson. The Pug volleyball team, with practically the same lineup that copped the title last year, had piled up such a commanding lead at the time of this writing in games won, for the title this year will be settled on a basis of games won and not on sets won, that there is little doubt that the Pug lads will successfully de- fend their title. Members of the Pug lineup are: Ken Peterson, Bud Rehr, Harry Mead, lVillard Nelson, Harry Nelson, and Ed Moe. After the volleyball schedule is completed an inter-class track meet and intramural track meet are scheduled for consecutive Saturdays. The inter-class meet is an innovation of the August- ana campus, but the intramural event will find the Pugs defending the title, which they have won for quite a number of years in a row. The concluding event of the intramural sea- son will be a softball tourney, with the Pugs defending their crown. The race this year will be a wide-open affair, now that the star Pug hurler, Bobby h-Iarack, is not in school. lluch of the credit for the fine way in which the intramural events have been conducted must be given to the aforementioned directors, who have not allowed the competing organizations to seek postponements for reasons that were not entirely sufficient. 44 :Q .- .

This department under Miss Kummer is unusually good for its size and offers a wider variety of activities than most colleges com- parable to Augustana. Miss Kummer feels that every girl should participate in some form of athletics, and in order to realize that aim she is planning sev- eral changes in the set-up of her department Under the able direction of Miss Kummer with the assistance of Shirley Lewis, stu- dent instructor, the girls' athletic department has offered to the Augustana Co-eds this past year a wide variety of activity. The depart- ment has risen in the past twelve years from a mere two hours of gym to a highly developed and intricately organized system of which Au- gustana can be proud. Through its efforts the Augie Co-ed has every advantage for health and happiness that well directed exercise and pleasureable recreation can give. Recognizing the fact that swimming is funda- mentally one of the most healthful as well as necessary sports, the department requires it of all the girls of the Junior College.

During the years of 1932 and 1933 Miss Kummer studied at the normal college of the American Gymnastic Union in Indianapolis. This is one of the leading schools in physical education in this country and is affiliated with the University of Indiana. She transferred to' Augustana in the fall of 1932 and served as assistant under Miss Anne Greve. She has held her present position since the fall of 1933 and is a graduate of Augustana, having received her B.A. degree from this institution in 19344. they are taught the fundamentals of games up- on which the intramural programs are based. The various girls' organizations of the carn- pus are the competitors in these sport programs which include basketball, baseball, volleyball, and tennis tournaments, run off during the win- ter and spring. For the past three years a cup has been offered to the group earning the larg- est number of points or victories during the entire year. The Speeds captured the silver trophy the first year, the Keys, the second. Some years a swim meet is sponsored in which the girls compete in racing, fancy diving, sur- face diving, and life-saving. In its swimming curriculum, the department has for many years past offered a class in life saving. At the end of this course the student C5 Girls, basketball Squad , ATHLETICS . Sweater Earners A is expected to be able to pass the Illinois Red Cross Life Saving Tests, thus becoming the wearer of the badge. Each autumn the state examiner arrives at Augustana to give the Ex- aminers' Test in Life Saving. Any Augustana girl above twenty years who wears the badge is eligible to take the test, thereby becoming qualified to teach life saving. . Aside from the regular classwork and the intramural competition, a comprehensive pro- gram of extra-curricular activity is sponsored by the department. Soccer is played down on the football field each autumn, training many valiant young fighters for the annual Homecom- ing match between the freshmen and sopho- more girls. The ancient sport of archery has gained many adherents at Augustana in very recent years, while horesback riding is as great a favorite with other girls. Added to these, volleyball, basketball, hiking and the aristocrat, fencing, offer a fascinating choice of exercise and pleasure for the sports woman. To this as- sortment, a group of young enthusiasts have this year added bicycling. Points are given for serious participation in these sports towards the earning power of Augustana sweaters. These blue and gold awards are given only to juniors or seniors having earned 800 points accumulated in all activities but with a preponderance in three major sports, and including swimming. The horsewomen of Augustana this spring organized a riding club the object of which was to teach the fundamentals of horseman- ship. Not only did they gallop gaily over the countryside, but they also studied the history, character, and training of horses through the means of books, special reports, and speakers. At their regular meetings, they were taught '44 QQ ., Buchanan, Hubbard. Minarrl Park, Kastman, Lewis such particulars of horsemanship as bridling, saddling, and putting the horse into his vari- ous gaits. Another club, also a recent addition to cam- pus affairs which has attracted much interest through the efforts of sport addicts, is the swimming club, commonly known as the Mixed Plunge . The unusual feature of this club is that both men and women participate. Huge rubber balls thrown with finesse, tag games punctured with hilarious gulps, and diving con- tests marked by keen competition characterizes many of these Friday afternoon plunges. l Ad- mission is granted to all those able to pass the beginners' swimming tests. An organization open to all co-eds interested in sports is that known as the Augustana Girls' Athletic Association which has as its purpose the fostering of a healthful participation in re- creational exercises of all types. The nucleus of this larger organization is the smaller and more exclusive group specified as the Valkyries. These young Amazons, limited to twenty-four in number are the cream of the departmentis athletes. Admission to membership is by elec- tion and the earning of 150 points, indicative of serious athletic achievement. Looking forward to next year, Miss Kummer is planning to institute various new activities which will further improve the department. Among these is her plan for the first month of the school year which will be filled entirely with an intensive program of corrective work. Each student will be medically and physically exam- ined and charted for defects such as postural, organic, etc. The classes will be divided into groups according to defects. During the year effort will be made to correct these faults, clmrts being kept of improvement made. .. 1 5 , ., y 'U .

It furnishes op- portunity for increased activity to many girls who would otherwise be neglected. H Supper meetings have been held once a month this past yearg the spring meeting was in the form of a steak and Wiener fry. All freshmen and sophomore girls are mem- bers of this club.

A need had been felt for honoring, in some way, ,girls who' were particularly active in athletics as Well as for forming a group to serve as a nucleus for the larger and less wieldy organi- zation. The Valkyries, appropriately named after the hanclmaidens of the ancient Scandinavian god, Thor, who carried the heroes killed in 'battle to Valhalla, have the past year led in athletic participation according to the tradition of this organization.

This was not the first of such organizations but was early among the more prominent groups. The faculty granted a charter to this club which was called the 5'75 because of the varieties and types' of interests of the girls who were charter members of Phiro. W'hen Greek letter organizations were per- mitted later on, the 575 chose Phi Rho as their new name. 'The old name was usually re- ferred to, however, until the Greek name was Anglicized to Phiro. Until membership was limited to twenty girls, Phiro was one of the largest social groups. After the limitation was set at twenty Phiro maintained that standard. Phiro is represented by girls in all of the campus organizations: Valkyries, Jenny Linds, Alpha Psi Omega, Athletic Board of Control, VVomen's Club, A. G. A. A., Life Saving, ROCKETY-I Staff, and Student's Union ofhcers. A Phi Rho was chosen Vi-Queen in 1934. VVhat was formerly an equal honor, was the election of an Honorary Colonel of the Augustana Band. In 1931 this honor was voted to a Phiro by the entire student body. Each year Phi Rho is socially prominent, and the members are hostesses at two teas, one Hoglund, Lage, Cook, H, johnson, Brown, Foster, Rouse, Fors. given for the entire student body, and one for the faculty. Phiro also issues as many invita- tions as there are members, when the alumnae and actives join in an annual spring party, and also one in the all semester. The tri-city and alumnae roll from all over amounts to two hundred girls. .The present active chapter membership is: Dorothy Hogland Bunny Brown Carol Johnson Louise Lage Jane Schofer Helen Johnson Ruth F ors Dolly Foster Codie Cook Cecelia Rouse Ruth McMurtrie PLEDGES Helen Fowler Laurel Rider Maryann Dormandy Nancy Emeis Teckla Cederquist Cecile Ryden Amirette Baker Lillian Olsen OFFICERS FOR 1934-35 Presidents Bunny Brown, Helen Johnson Secretaries Carol Johnson, Ruth McMurtrie Treasurers Ruth Fors, Louise Lage Pledge Mistresses Helen Johnson, Codie Cook Dormody, Emeis, Cederquist.

President: TVIARJORIE SZEKELY Secretory: LYDIA ECKEBERG Treasurer: SYLVIA WICK Council Reprgsentative: ETHEL BUCHANAN The Sigma Pi Delta sorority was organized first as a co-ed tennis club in the fall of 1908. They were then known as the S, P. D.'s . It was not until Feb. 141, 1909 that the NS. P. D.'s Awere organized as a sorority and the Greek letters-Sigma Pi Delta adopted. Naturally, the Speeds, being the first sorority to be organized on the Augustana campus, met with opposition from the administration and the faculty. However, these difficulties were soon overcome, and the Sigma Pi Delts took their place as leaders in campus activities. The Sigma Pig Delts have always striven to be active in campus activities and to comply with the ideals of the college. To these fac- tors do they owe their success and long stand- ing in the college.. The Sigma Pi Delts have been especially active in athletics, debate, dra- matics, and in the Jenny Lind chorus. Each year in May the active chapter in co-operation with the Tri-City alumnae chapter publishes the 'iSpeedways . The date of founding of the sorority is celebrated annually with the An- niversary Dinner. Another tradition of the sorority is the Triennial Reunion. Last year the 25th anniversary was celebrated in connec- tion with the Reunion. The active chapter roll is seventeen mem- bers. There are 170 Sigma Pi Delta alumnae. At present there are 2 alumnae chapters-thc Tri-'City chapter and the Chicago chapter. Q- ,- - 'W-'!f.-2.5 ,V '- .'.Q2'f1!f.-'ni riw,-,., 1,f-f of K -- -f A 'L '-Ll 'X 'ff x L 'L'- Q .. 'fait-in-.

At first it was one of several such clubs, which are organized every year by good friends, flourish for a while, but are broken up by graduation. However, the club con- tinued, members were added, and it was soon decided to make the organization permanent by changing it to a Greek-letter sorority. This was done, and the name was changed to 'fKappa Epsflonn-soon appropriately shortened to Key',. The name Key has been carried out in the choice of sorority pins, which are represented by miniature gold keys, with the crest used as a guard. The pledge pins, adopted three years ago, are small gold key-holes, having the initials K. E. on them. The colors, as chosen by the Qui Est Qui Club, are gold and lavender, and the flower is Iris. The Keys have always been active on the campus in all manner of activities-ofiicers of W'omen's Club, A. G. A. A., Valkyries, Staff of the ROCKETY-I, have members in honorary fra- ternities, take part in plays, debates, choruses, and for the past three years one of the co- chairmen of the pep committee has been a Key. Twice they have had a double victory at home- coming-a Key winning the title of Vi-Queen and the sorority being presented with the cup for the most beautiful float in the parade. Each year they have held their Annual Homecoming of Kappa Epsilon, a tradition which was founded in 1917 and carried out every year since then. It is at this homecom- ing banquet where, once a year, actives, pledges and alumnae gather to discuss the past year's actiyities-a true homecoming to many Keys. This year, because they are celebrating their 22nd anniversary, plans are being made for a special homecoming to be held at commencement. In addition to the above-mentioned events, the Keys, each year hold a Mother-Daughter Tea, in the spring, and a Christmas party for the actives and pledges, when gifts are ex- changed. This year the girls were hostesses at their twentieth annual Christmas Tea, held in the reception room of the woman's Building. Although they are not always on the top scholastically, they maintain a fairly high aver- age each year, having won the cup in 1933. Kappa Epsilon has an active chapter of alumni both in the tri-cities and in Chicago. Twice during the school semester, they issue the Keyhole, a paper telling of the activities of both the alumni and active chapter. From a membership, which in 1913 was only six, it has grown to almost one hundred and fifty. A Key girl has always been proud to wear the tiny gold Key pin, and it is her earnest desire that every future Key girl will do her best to live up to the traditions of Kappa Ep- silon both on and off the campus.

T.'s. At that time sororities and Efraternities were forbidden on the Augustana College campus. The name Q, T. signified the secrecy that it was necessary to maintain. Later the ban on Greek letter or- ganizations was lifted, and the Q. Tfs chose the letters Kappa Tau as being the closest to their original name. However, the cognomen Q. T. remained. It was not until last year that the original pin with its interlaced Q. T. was changed to the K. T. crescent. At the same time the sorority's former name was lost. Its mem- bers are now known as the K. T.'s. These changes did not affect the purpose of the Kappa Tau sorority, which is to foster a spirit of true friendship among its membersf, The K. T.'s have always maintained a good 44 an schclastic standing on the campus in addition to entering into outside activities. On the Observer and ROCKETY-I staffs, in Vallcyries, in dramatics, in the Augustana Choir, in debate and oratory, and in. fact, in all extracurricular fields open to women students, representatives of this sorority are to be found. Among the annual events are included-in addition to scheduled rushing parties, homecom- ing luncheons, and formals-a May Day tea, a Mothers' Day Tea, and a Christmas party held with the Alumnae, which also functions as a local organization. This year, being the Silver Anniversary of the Kappa Tau sorority, a special celebration is being planned to coincide with the Collcge's 75th Anniversary Jubilee which is to he held in connection with the Commencement exercises this June, It is hoped that a great many of the Alumnae will he able to return for this great event. : L si .

In this short time it has grown rapidly until the alumnae now number over one hundred. From the time of organization the members of the sorority have been very active in all phases of campus life: they have always been represented in dramatics, debate, the choruses, the Augustana Observer, athletics, Dormitory and VVoman's Clubs, and in the various honor- ary fraternities. The group has also been awarded many cups for iloats in the Homecom- ing Parades both in beauty and in originality. Included in the present active organization are the Vi-Queen of this year's Homecoming Cele- bration, vice-president of the senior class, and secretary of Students' Union, the treasurer of the Woman's Club, members of the Valkyries, Alpha Psi Omega, Alpha Delta, and the choruses. The active members are supported by a very loyal group of alumnae. The Cog Alum Bul- letin, a monthly paper which is published by the alumnae, is sent to every member, keeping the two groups in close contact with each other and giving news of both alumnae and active members and of the activities of the sorority and of the college. At the close of each school year the alumnae sponsor a Mothers' and Daughters' tea, at which time the mothers of active and alumnae members become better ac- quainted. - The Cog Colonial Tea is an affair which is held annually in February by the group. The costumes of the girls and the decorations are in keeping with the nature of the tea, which is always well attended. The members of the sorority try to keep as high scholarship records as possible, and for the past few years always ranked among the first three. The stated aim of the sorority is the inculcation of the true Augie spirit into all of its members and being of service when- ever Augustana affairs require the co-operation of the students.

Peterson, Iacob, Bolin, D, Peterson, Clausen, Marker, Simpkins The Kens were first formed as a club in the year nineteen hundred twenty-Hve. Its consti- tution was approved by the College Committee on Social Organizations, November the twenty- fifth of that same year, and it was granted the privilege of working as an organization. Among the charter members were: Leota J. Norton, Ester Woodburn, Florence Tams, Eleanor Gra- ham, Ethel Eldrige, Charlotte Schnathoist, Kay Bragg, Helen Searle, Natalie Souders, and Frances Long. i On January'the twentieth, nineteen hundred twenty-six, the Ken Sorority was admitted into full membership in the Panhellenic Association. The Sorority adopted the Greek letters of Kappa Epsilon Nu. The first rrieeting of the Kens, after being recognized as a sorority, was held'Februa1'y eleventh, nineteen hundred twenty-six. An Alpha Chapter of the sorority was formed in April nineteen hundred twenty-seven, and from that time On, functioned as a separate body. Practically all of the charter members of Kappa Epsilon Nu joined this Alpha Chap- ter. In December nineteen hundred twenty-seven, the Ken So1'ority Hrst contracted for a page in the ROCKETY-I yearbook and has contributed each year for this page. The Ken Crest is a symbol of knowledge, scholastic achievement, nobility, and character. On this crest is the lamp of learning, a scholastic cup award, an open book, and a crown. The word Knosis is taken from the Greek word, Gnosis meaning knowledge. The A and cross 44 as symbolize Augustana-A Christian college. Ken means Knowledge, and during the time which the sorority has been functioning on the campus, it has always been its aim to uphold this name. This aim has been partly gratihed, as the Ken Sorority has won first place in several Tau Kappa Alpha Declamatory con- tests, and has often won second and third places in these contests. The Kappa Epsilon Nu Sorority has ranked high scholastically, as it has several times won the inter-sorority scholastic award for high grades, and now possesses this cup which it has won for the last two semesters. Ken Sorority members have always been active in the various organizations about the campus. Many of its members do and have belonged to the Augustana Girls' Athletic As- sociation, Augustana Chorus, Debate team, and various other social organizations about the campus. Ken Sorority has always carried on its social privileges: such as, parties, meetings, home- coming Heats, its annual tea, and participation in inter-sorority games and organizationsl Kappa Epsilon Nu Sorority is now ten years old and is still functioning with an active mem- bership of fourteen girls. - OFFICERS President: VIOLET NIUNTER V-ice-Presidcfnt: RUTI-I LINDER Secretary: DOROTHY Smrrx-1 Treasurer: RU'FI-I CARLSON .

The six founders chose the Greek letters Rho Nu Delta as symbols of their motto and purpose, and after the customary procedure of recognition by the faculty, the Roundels, as they came to ganization in January, 1925. The six founders of Rho Nu Delta were Her- man Nelson, ,26, who so distinguished himself during his college career that he was awarded scholarships that permitted him to continue his studies at the Universities of Upsala and Lund, Sweden, Milton Selander, '26, who is now teaching, Herbert M. Johnson, '26, who went into law, Glenn V. Ahlstrand, '25, and Bertil Anderson, '26, who also followed the teaching profession, and Benton A. Holm, I27, who is now practicing medicine in Michigan. The Roundels have taken an active part in all campus activities, Newell Daily, '30, being the founder of Alpha Delta national journalis- tic fraternity in 1930. One member, Paul Mun- son, ex-'29, died while a student, he was a victim of the scarlet fever epidemic which caused two deaths at Augustana in 1927. Over one hundred Roundels, actives and alumni, will join in celebrating the tenth anni- versary of the organization at commencement. Pierce, C. T. Johnson, Clemens, Luncle, Fryxell, Simril, F.

Peterson, Ill, Zelnio, XVelander Harper, R. Anderson, Broman, Holder, Tliicseu, Knop, XN7illiznns Phi Omega Phi fraternity was organized on February-IAF, 1915, in room 16 of the west wing of the men's dormitory Qthe room now occupied by the ROCKETY-I photograpllersj. There were seven charter members. Nine pledges were ini- tiated and received as active members into the fraternity later in the year. Meetings were held weekly in the dorm, when topics of com- mon interest were discussed. The weekly dues kept the fraternity going, and stags and social events were held frequently throughout the tri-cities. X From this initial start, the Pops, as the first fraternity on the campus, were looked upon as leaders in every phase of Augustana's life, and from that time the organization has not lost its prestige. ' As usual the alumni members and active chap- ter has a reunion at homecoming. A stag was held at the Fort Armstrong hotel after the homecoming banquet, and a dinner was held at noon the following day at the Lend-A-Hand club in Davenport. Alumni members met their former colleagues, actives, and the new pledges, and the bonds of fellowship were more firmly cemented. February 141, St. Valentine's day, a dinner was held by the active chapter at Johnsonis cafeteria in observance of the 2Otl1 anniversary of the organization of the fraternity. Active members and pledges turned out a hundred per- cent, and many alumni, especially those who live in the tri-cities, appeared at the banquet. Fred Ill, president of the active chapter, pre- sided as toastmaster after the dinner, and im- promptu speeches were given by most of the old alums. At the anniversary banquet an alumni mem- 'I ber suggested that the fraternity hold a reunion in conjunction with the 75th anniversary cele- bration of Augustana College. Those alumni present supported the idea and proposed hearty co-operation in such an undertaking. The ac- tive chapter has laid plans for such a reunion, and it will be held early in June. Although the active chapter of the fraternity in number is not up to the usual membership of the fraternity,,the fraternity as a whole had made its presence known on the Augustana campus. The fraternity was represented on the football, basketball, and tennis teams, on the Wlennerberg chorus, on the Observer staff, on ROCKETY-I staff, in dramatics, and in intra- mural competition. The present active group holds regular meet- ings once every two weeks at the homes of members, who live in the tri-cities. Alumni members also have invited the active chapter to hold meetings at their homes occasionally throughout the, year.

Since that time it has been prominent in school activities of all kinds, con- tributing debaters, orators, musicians, athletes, journalists, and actors to the common cause. Although accomplishing much in scholastic as well as in extra-curricular affairs, a characte1'is- tic refusal to take themselves too seriously de- veloped among the members which has been belied by their growing successes in their after- school life. A great number of OSO's have gone into the professions, the ministry has claimed eighteen of these. Education also has its share, executives, professors, teachers and research men being drawn from the OSO ranks. One of the outstanding occurrences of the 1933-1934 school year was the official merging of the OSO and PAR fraternities. Since only two of the latter organization returned to school that year, it was deemed best to merge. The logical result of this would be a welding of the alumni groups. The other major accomplishment of 1933 was the procurance of a large and imposing fraternity house at 3025-10th Avenue.. The first OSO house was occupied during the two years following 1929, but the organization was then without one until the present residence was obtained. Although the fraternity is one of the young- er groups on the campus, it is proud of its al- ready distinguished record. The active chapter of Omicron Sigma Omicron is one of the largest and livest of the social organizations at August- ana. This year its forty-nine members and pledges have been' unusually prominent in school Donald Smiley, president, Brice Johnson, vice- president, Russell Johnson, secretary, Vincent Bergman, treasurer, and Gus Larson, historian. For the second semester, Brice Johnson served as president, Kenneth Jolmson as vice-president, Philip Johnson as secretary, Pete Denger as treasurer, and Eugene Kempe as historian. Bergman served as house-manager for both semesters. Socially the members enjoyed themselves at both Stags and parties. Outstanding were the steak-fry and stag in September, the breakfast party October 6, and the PUG-OSO stag March 1'7.' The traditional spring formal was held May 17. OSO's are especially prominent in both the Augustana Choir and the second chorus, some play in the band and orchestra. They hold sev- eral class oilices, and number both the editor and the business manager of the ROCKETY-I in their group. To athletics they contributed foot- ball, basketball, and track men, swimmers and golfers. Many are engaged in debate, extem- poraneous speaking, and other branches of for- ensics- They have taken prominent parts in all the recent plays, and must it be added, they formed the nucleus of the now defunct Aesthete organization. The fraternity house continues to Hourish as the center of the activities of the group. Meals are regularly served and are well patron- ized. The intramural program of school ath- letics has found wholehearted support in the fraternity, which won the touch-football cham- pionship as well as first place in the B bas- ketball league.

During the school year 1915-16 the men stu- dents at Augustana felt that a fraternal sys- tem was needed on the campus. This desire was realized in the organization of two' groups, one which was the Pugs. The organization began: with nine charter members, and was held to a maximum number of 12 membersf until the year 1923, at which time a housex was taken and the membership increased to fifteen. The house, at that time, was located just above the site of the new VVallberg Science. hall on Ninth Avenue. After a year the housle was abandoned, and headquar- ters were maintained in the Old Dormu. In the fall of 1930 the fraternity took over the present Pug House, on the corner Of 38th Street and 7th Avenue. This house, at the present time, has a capacity of 23 men and has been filled for the past 2 years. Until the year 1929 the membership was entirely composed Of out-Of-town men, but at that time the first tri-city pledge was admitted. The Fugs have always maintained a well- rounded group in its activities on the campus, being well represented in the Wennerberg chorus and other extra-curricular groups. The Pugs have always had approximately one-third of their members in the VVennerberg chorus. In the athletic program of Augustana, the Pug fraternity has always been well repre- al ll D -.anal sented, as well as in the intramural activities. The Pugs have won the intramural track meet ever since the event was started. The all-sports intramural trophy has been held by the Pugs ever since its introduction in 1931. This trophy is awarded under a point system, under which points are given for participation in varsity sports and for winning intramural sports cham- pionships. The past years have found the Pugs well rep- resented in every field, and this year is not an exception. We have the President of the Stu- dents' Union, the CO-Captain of football, the Captain of basketball, the Captain-elect of bas- ketball for next year, the Chairman of the Pep Committee, and the President of the Tribe of Vikings.

During the spring semester, twenty-eight men, thirteen ac- tives and fifteen pledges, were afliliated with the Bos. During the fall of 1929, twelve upperclass- men conceived the idea of organizing a new fraternity. A constitution was drawn up and presented to the Board of Control of Social Activities and later to the college faculty. For- mal recognition as a new fraternity was accord- ed these twelve men on December 10, 1929. Two days later the charter members appeared on the campus wearing sweaters on which were printed the Greek symbols of the fraternity and thus introduced the new organization to the students. The charter members of the fraternity are: Frederick Swanson, Duane Tooley, and Reuben Strombeck of Molineg Fred Rolf and Richard Miller of Rock Island, Dale Johnson of Cam- bridge, Evers Hushman of Silvisg Donald Han- sen of Cordovag VValdo Johnson of Swedes- burg, lowag Helge Lundberg of Dallas, Texas, Lawrence Norlin of Putman, lll.g and Dick Steinbrecker of Burlington, Iowa. The purpose of the fraternity as stated in the constitution is purely social. It was organ- ized for the purpose of promoting fellowship and a friendly spirit deeper and more lasting than can be obtained through class or school activities. In five years, Beta Omega Sigma has in- creased its membership from twelve to seventy- one. Efforts have been made each year to select candidates for membership who have interests in varied fields in order that the fraternity might not become a specialized group. This year Beta Omega Sigma has been represented in the Augustana Band, the Augustana Choir, journalism, debate work, football, and religious activities. Beta Omega Sigma has never been strong as an athletic organization, although a few varsity lettermen are generally found among its active chapter each year. The showing made in in- tramural athletics has been somewhat better. Beta Omega Sigma won the touch football championship in 1932 and obtained the intra- mural basketball crown in the 1931-32 season. tlllick, Stevenspn. S. Carlson. Farh, Rolf.

About seventeen 'years ago a great commotion was aroused on the campus. VVhen the smoke had cleared away a new organization stepped into the activities of Augustana College. The Gamma Alpha Betas came in strong and ever since have been one of the very active social groups on the campus. Wlienexfer something is doing there is a Gab', around somewhere. The charter members were Ruben' Bergen- dolff, Hugo Larson, James Fitzpa-tric, Carl Fryxell, Marvin Lyon, Robert Olmsted and Paul Youngberg. These members formed the organization to further the spirit of brotherhood among the students of Augustana. In one issue of the official fraternity publi- cation known as the Gabzette, the following 441,139 4' A Q gjfar statement was made, The Grabs have been un- usually Well represented in whatever branch of activities they have entered, whether social, scholastic, athletic or literary. This was writ- ten in 1923 and since then the group have kept up the tradition. Last fall the fraternity had ten members out for football of which number eight earned their letters. One of these was the co-captain. Several Grabs were out for bas- ketball, one of whom was a regular player. They were also well represented in track, swimming and tennis. Although they were stronger in athletics than in other activities, the Grabs have not devoted all their time to the sports. They also claim strong representation in both choral and dra- matic work. 1 ' Y- - Q .Y T' 1' ?Sf?'Ji.1'vSBl5? ff1' it 'is -. . - .1-ffl, X ,-f'sfsfs,,. vp -- fa ss., Ag W e ll?

The Runic Honor Society was established in the spring of 1933 by the seven highest ranking senior men, with the assistance of Dean VVald, and Dr. Fryxell, who have since served as ad- visors. E The purpose of this society is to provide an incentive for and a recognition of high scholas- tic achievement, as well as to provide an oppor- tunity for fellowship and constructive activity of a scholastic nature for those honoredi The limited membership of eight is chosen each year by the active members from those Juniors who have attained a 2.0 average for their first tive semesters or a 2.2 average for the two last semesters of that period. Although scholarship is an important factor in the selec- tion of members, other things such as qualities of leadership and character are taken into con- sideration. Although only now entering on its third year, the Runic Honor Society has established it- self as an important organization to the mem- bership of which many underclassmen aspire.

The House Council, made up of six girls, one from each corridor, meets frequently with the Club officers and the Dean to prepare pro- positions to submit to the club as a whole. In 4411577 1 this way the residents there have their own government with Miss Esther Sundberg, Dean of VVomen, as the final authority. At Homecoming open house was held, when everyone was welcome to visit the rooms and attend the tea. Later in the year the Dorm Club members were hostesses in their annual party, games and stunts providing the enter- tainment. After the games, lunch was served in the girls' rooms. Every year at Christmas time, the club and their tri-city friends go caroling, visiting the professors, homes, the Seminary, and the fra- ternity houses, clirnaxing the evening with re- freshments in the living room of the dormitory.

The VVomen's Club, which was founded in 1917 through the efforts of Mrs. Florence An- derson of VVakefield, Nebraska, is one of the most cosmopolitan and popular organizations of the school, being a group to which every Augie girl is eligible. Monthly teas are held in which excellent speakers on various topics furnish the entertainment. In the beginning of the fall term, each mem- ber of the club is assigned a Little Sister , new girls on the campus to help them become acquainted with Augustana. VVhen the Little Sistersn have become familiar with campus life, they are entertained by the VVomen's Club at a Big Sister Teav. Park. Minarfl. Kastmzan. Carlson, Blomquist. This year the Annual Augie girls, Co-ed Ban- quet, held in the Y. VV. C. A. of-Moline, March 15, was carried out on a St. Patricl-is Day theme. Keen rivalry between classes was ex- pressed in toasts by class representatives, songs, and yells. The principal speaker of the evening was Mrs. J. Vincent Nordgren, whose subject was The VVishing VVel1',. During the year the VVomen's Club under- took and successfully accomplished the task of furnishing the women's lounge in the Denkmann Memorial Library. Rugs and a studio couch were purchased, and the various sororities do- nated through the club, lamps, tables, drapes, pillows, and pictures.

It was practically impossible to gather together all the big shots of the classes for it is found that as soon as anyone is given a little power he becomes one of the unapproachables. As you see by the picture, a few escaped the eye of the camera, but still there is a sufhcient number by which we may judge the calibre of our worthy administrators. Behold in all his dignity, Mr. Johnson, the prexy of the intelligent seniors. He has that serious far-away look of the philosopher. No doubt he is mulling over the expletives he is go- ing to hurl at the Senior play committee. Flank- ing him are the Vice-President and the Secre- tary, Lindstrom and Sudlow, who often accom- pany Mr. Johnson to see that he does nothing rash. On duty in picture. Sit still, Chester Otto. Mr. Dowie, the handy man of the campus and guiding light of the Juniors, is seated in the lower left hand corner of the picture. By the expression on his face, dear reader, you may take it that his mind is a blank. Blinkity Blank, no doubt when he thinks of the Junior- Senior Banquet. His stooges, Johnson and Wfalgren, are seated at his left enjoying life. Immediately behind Mr. VValgren, one of the Mills Boys, is the renowned Peter Denger. He is goggling at the photographer, daring him to mention the fact that he QDengerj has no necktie around his manly throat. Mr. Denger realizes that as a Sophomore his im- portance is not very great and for this reason he' has been trying to overcome this inferior standing by dressing as an uneducated, but nevertheless, manly lumberjack. Naturally he wears no throat strap. VVe would suggest, how- ever, to Mr. Denger, that if he wants to make the illusion perfect he must dress the part com- pletely and discard his civilized sweaters and suits for boots, flannel shirts of bright hue, tuck in overalls, and a sturdy weather-proof hat. It is indeed a disgrace to have to include the insignificant freshman executives in such a col- lection of scintillating administrators. But then it is said that even the lowest tribes in Africa have their Chiefs and that ants have their Queens. So who are we to belittle the neophyte ofiicers? Perhaps they will some day grow up into senior politicians comparable to the aforementioned Mr. Johnson and crew. Yes, indeed, to Mr. Ed, to Mr. Moe, and to Miss McClean we extend our hearty hopes that they will some day be seniors. Dowic, C. Johnson, XValg:'en, M. Sudlow, C. Ioimson, Linclstrom.

CLASS CDFFICERS 44 an .l 'mann , -. a 1A mm A STUDENTS' UNICDN President: MELVIN CARLSON Vice-President: GRANGER WESTBERG Secretary: MARGARET SUDLow Treasurer: HERBERT LINDSTROM In 1892 the Students' Union was organized at Augustana for the purpose of discussing stu- dent problems and making rules governing stu- dent conduct. Meetings are held every Friday morning im- mediately following Chapel from ten to ten- twenty olclock. The sessions are democratic and are conducted according to rules of parli- mentary procedure. Because of the Small amount of time allotted to the meetings, the consideration of business is made as brief as possible and the remaining time is devoted to entertainment provided by both student and outside talent. During the first few weeks of the fall semester impromptu entertainment is provided by the freshmen as directed by mem- bers of the Enforcement Committee. It is in Students' Union that nominations and elections are held for membership to col- lcgc groups such as the Pep Committee and the Athletic Board. General committees are MGR also chosen here. At Homecoming the group elects the Vi-King and Vi-Queen. The history of the Students' Union has been interesting, and old minutes of past meetings furnish information concerning student life and activity in college affairs of earlier days. In 1898 the Students' Union elected a com- mittee of three to petition the city council for an electric lamp in front of the college build- ing . In April, 1900, the group was consider- ing setting aside a day in the following May to be designated Swedish Day . The minutes of January, 1903, record that a motion was made and carried that voluntary subscription be taken up to raise a sufficient amount, decided by the faculty, in order to procure a physical directoru. Three years ago an attempt was made to abolish the Students, Union and form a new organization known as the Augustana Union. The purpose of the change was to include faculty members in the meetings and develop a really effective organization. The plan was impossible, however, due to the fact that separ- ate faculty meetings are held simultaneously with the students meetings, so the organization has remained a Students' Union. f....'!

The activities of a new field, dramatics, have come under the supervision of the body. A subsidiary group has been the committee in charge of the lecture program. Containing both faculty and student members and headed by Professor C. A. Fryxell this committee has endeavored to maintain the program at its pres- ent high level. ln addition to approving the regular lecture program the Board voted to set aside a fund for departmental lectures. Under this plan the various departments have been enabled to obtain noted lecturers in their re- spective fields, from the Universities of Iowa, lllisconsin. Illinois, and Chicago.

Included in the membership of this board is the president of the institution, the director of athletics, the coach of womenls ath- letics, two other faculty members and four stu- dent representatives. Due to the growing need for general phy- sical recreation and a program of gradual ex- pansion into other branches of intercollegiate athletics, the importance of the board increases considerably from year to year.

The whole celebration was carried on with a great amount of gaiety and success.

Anderson Miss L. Cervin Prof. O. L. Nordstrom Dr. C. A. Serenius A CHALLENGE One of the most important and yet one of the most difficult tasks that confronts an educa- tional institution is that of maintaining a loyal and active alumni organization. This fact was early recognized by the graduates of Augustana College. Motivated by a love and devotion for their Alma Mater, the members of the first graduating class organized the Augustana Alumni Association in the spring of 1877. Ever since that time the Association has been en- deavoring to maintain a close fellowship be- tween the graduates of our institution. Often it is true that when graduates leave a school, they seem to acquire an indifferent at- titude toward the institution's welfare. The alumni organization attempts to maintain the old college spirit and loyalty. It must be ad- mitted that Augustana's greatest source of energy should be derived from those who have gained their inspiration in her halls. The lack of such a co-operative alumni group may be- come particularly evident to the faculty mem- bers and administrative ofiiicers, in whose hands the active guidance of the institution is en- trusted. lt is, therefore, of utmost importance that these officers receive the continuous support of the alumni group. The work of the Alumni Association may Well find expression in various ways. Alumni scat- tered throughout the nation can be of incalcul- able assistance to their Alma Mater by attempt- ing to instill in young men and women an in- terest in choosing Augustana College as the in- stitution in which they will continue their high- er education. Another contribution which alumni may make is to evidence willingness to give financial assistance to the various projects which the institution sponsors. Still another way for alumni to identify themselves with the work of the institution is to exemplify through their own lives the value of the Christian edu- cation which they have received at Augustana. The Augustana Alumni Association offers a real challenge to its members to lend their sup- port to the task of making Augustana College an institution of which they shall ever be P1'0Ud- 441309 teh Q. LECTURE SERIES A change from the old type Lyceum program to a Lecture Series program was made three years ago, and in honor of the Diamond An- niversary Year an exceptionally attractive pro- gram of lectures under the auspices of the Augustana Lecture Bureau was presented. The season opened on November 9, with a debate between two British debaters, J. Hirsch- field and D. W. Scholes, representing the Na- tional Union of Students of England, and a team from Augustana College composed of Chester Johnson and Peter Denger. The question for debate was: i'Resolved: That Science has not contributed to human happiness , Augustana defending the negative. English wit and humor and the customary evasion of the subject under discussion characterized the debate. Augustana was one of thirty-two American colleges chosen from over two hundred seeking the honor of meeting the British team. - On Decembeg 17, Dr. D. W. Morehouse, President of Drake University, Des Moines, an astronomer of note, and discoverer of the Morehouse Comet , presented his interesting and popular illustrated lecture, speaking on a phase of astronomy of present day interest. Branson DeCou appeared on Thursday, January 17, presenting one of his famous dream pictures entitled 'iAround the Mediter- ranean , a musical travelog. The lecture was illustrated by about three hundred color views, rare masterpieces of art and photography, colored by Miss Augusta A. Heyder, the fore- most artist in the world in the painting of miniature landscapes on glass. hiajor John L. Griffith, athletic commissioner of the Big Ten Conference, initiator of the Drake Relays while athletic director at Drake University, and probably the foremost authority on athletics in this country, spoke at Augustana on VVednesday, February 13. An outstanding poet, woodsman and forest ranger, 'university professor and lecturer, and one of the unique literary figures in America, Lew Sarett, made his appearance on the Lecture Series on March 8. After he received his edu- cation on funds that he earned in part by his work in the woods-at the University of Michi- gan, Beloit College, the University of Illinois, and Harvard University, he became an instruc- tor at the University of Illinois and later Pro- fessor of Speech at Northwestern University. Many of his poems are included in school read- ers and college textbooks and in the important anthologies of American literature. He has written several volumes of poetry, marked by such power and beauty that they have estab- lished his supremacy in this Held, according to the general agreement of literary critics. Hon. Gerald P. Nye, the brilliant United States Senator from North Dakota, who has won national recognition in the prosecuting of the Senate investigations of the oil scandal, campaign funds, and munitions industry, ap- peared in the Augustana Auditorium on May 10. The topic of his address was i'lVar and Pro- fits , based on his experiences as chairman of the munitions investigating committee as well as on his general knowledge of the subject. ,-,K !f 'f lin! num I 14131 D - 1 - K.. x fe' 1. . ,. . . --. .

Since then the organization has met every Sunday morning at nine-Hfteen oiclock in the reception room of the W7oman's Building. This last year Miss Clara Holterman has been the leader. She has con- ducted the meetings in a splendid manner and is to be congratulated. By means of topical study she has increased the girls' appreciation Anderson, Fransen, Bolin, Inncohs, Liljcgren. of the Bible and has helped them to grasp its significance. During the Lenten period the girls held devotional meetings nightly in the Dor- mitory. This organization has always realized that any organization, if it wishes to remain active, must have some social period in which its mem- bers may mingle and have a little fun. For that reason it has become the custom for the girls to prepare a Sunday morning breakfast for the members. This has proved to be a popular, as well as a profitable undertaking, for by this means the group have been able to al- ways keep a little money on hand for their necessary expenses.

At present this group has a membership close to three thousand persons. Members are situated in forty-six states of the Union and in several foreign countries. The purpose of the organization is to interest all Augustana people in the advancement of God's kingdom by disseminating missionary in- formation, and by the collection of membership fees, contributions, and bequests to provide the necessary funds for this important work. Since Anderson, Swenson, johnson, Trued, Farb.

Each year during the summer months a repre- sentative of the society is sent out to represent the cause of missions to the congregations of the Synod and to solicit memberships. Last summer Mr. Wilton Bergstrand served in this capacity and was very successful. This coming summer Mr. Carl Samuelson will be the repre- sentative. This year the group was very active. A membership drive was held on the campus. They also established a museum in the seminary building. The society is looking forward to its fiftieth anniversary celebration which will be held next year.

N LUTHER LEAGUE Aueuswna p JUBILEE CQNFEREIXICE From California and from Wfashington, from Montana and from Canada, from Texas and from Colorado, from Massachusetts and from New York, from many a hamlet and city in the great Middle W'est-even from Africa and China-they came to Rock Island-two thous- and young people and pastors to unite hearts and hands and voices in the Augustana Luther League Jubillee Conference, the largest gather- ing of Christian youth the Augustana Synod has ever known. It was a thrill to see them arrive: two hundred and forty on the Luther League Limited from Chicago, two hundred and ten on the special train from Minneapolis, eighty in the special coaches from Kansas City, seventy in the chartered busses from Gustavus Adolphus College, other hundreds in a myriad of conveyances from all corners of the.land. Truly it was Htting that our Sy11od's youth, the children's children of the pioneer founders, should thus have ushered in the observance of the Sleventy-Hf'th Anniversary of Augustana with a great inspirational Rally. The Conference, held February lfkth to 17th under the joint sponsorship of Augustana Col- lege and the Synodical Luther League Council, had as its central theme the heartening cry, Victory through Christ -based on the words of the apostle Paul in I Cor. 15:5'7: Thanks he to God who giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. The theme was set forth in the following daily topics: Thursday, February 1-11th, Victorious Youth , Friday. The Victorious Christ , Saturday. The Vic- torious Christianvg Sunday, The Victorious Church . 44 DP 'Ii' .fir , All main sessions of the Conference were held in the Augustana Auditorium. Skillful and ar- tistic decorating sembly hall into of worship. A of the Victorious transformed an ordinary as- an attractive, ehurchly house striking illuminated painting Christ was placed in the cen- ter of the auditorium ehancel. A white-bc- decked altar surrounded by palms and ferns and a large silver cross embracing part of the pulpit completed the setting. An effective public ad- dress system carried the messages distinctly to the large assemblies, a number of the programs were brought to radio listeners by WHBF. YVhy did they come to the Jubilee Confrence -these two thousand youths? They came for prayer, for study of the YVord, for counsel. for fellowship, for inspiration. They came with a spirit of eagerness to receive what was offered, and though the day's program was longgsome- thing going on from 8:15 a. m. to 11 p. m.- there was always a large and attentive audience. Yes, they came for prayer and meditation. There was a vital earnestness evidenced in the morning and evening devotionals as well as in the impromptu prayer services held by various groups of Leaguers. They came for Bible Study. At the morning Bible Hour they heard the message of God from the prophecy of Habakkuk. They came-these Leagucrs did-with a de- sire to learn the way of victory over the haf- fling problems which beset them on every hand. At a time in which the faith of Christian youth is being sorely tried. it is perhaps only natural that the practical Discussion Hours proved to he the feature of the Conference.

They came for fellowship. And the program contained a number of informal recreational opportunities-such as Get-Acquainted Hour the first evening, Open House at the Augustana Book Concern and Moline Lutheran Hospital, Cathedral Hour, Basketball game, Oratorical contest, and Regional Suppers. They came for spiritual quickening-and truly they received inspiration in abundance. Through the singing of the splendid college musical groups and in the messages of the Spirit-filled speakers, they beheld the Trium- phant Christ set forth in all His Winsome beau- ty. At the Thursday evening session the dele- H. Victorson, Tinbcrg, Dergstrand, Gustafson, Anderson. gates were welcomed to Augustana. At the Friday morning Inspirational Hour the key- note was 'KThe 'Victorious Christu. Friday evening was given over to a large Missionary Rally. The Saturday morning Inspirational Hour had as its theme, The Victorious Chris- tianu. The Saturday evening meeting took the form of a Festival of Music. Sunday morning, in a most impressive service, some 1,250 young people communed with the Conquering Re- deemer in the Lord's Supper. More than 3,000 people gathered on the Augustana Campus for the final Convention Assembly on Sunday after- noon. The huge auditorium was iilled to its maximum capacity, and four overflow crowds listened by radio in other college buildings. In a setting between excerpts of the oratorios i'Elijah,' and Messiah,' rendered by the large Handel Oratorio Society, the speaker presented a gripping picture of the truly Victorious Church . They came to catch a vision of their tasks. And in the masterly Exhibit located in the Denkmann Library Reading Room, this vision was vividly presented. Aside from the cen- tral booth which contained a beautiful painting of The Victory of the Church and of the Christian through Christ , the complete exhibit was divided into the following ten displays: Sunday School and Vacation School, Luther League, Home Missions, Inner Missions, Ec- clesiastical Architecture, Educational Institu- tions, International Friendship, Publications and Stewardship, Music, and Foreign Missions. The following explanatory message was pre- sented at intervals over a loud-speaker attach- Iohnson, Magnuson, Hammerberg, Holmberg, Matson, Johnson. Chairmen . 44138 ,, aejgfrfs' A Conference Exhibits ment to those who visited the display: It is the sincere desire of the forty-three exhibit committee members that you catch a vision of the message presented here. Have you noticed the color scheme-red, white, and blue E'- America for Christ! Have you seen the 'Vic- tory, sign from which the streamers come? Christ is our great Victory and we are little victories because of Him. Notice the little Victory sign over each post. The long mural portrays The, Lutheran Church in its many branches of activity-this work in more detail is displayed in the various booths. The central booth contains a picture illustrating the theme of the conference. Have you noticed the sym- bolism? Almost every vital part of a Victorious Christian's life is depicted-The Cross, our propitiationg The Shield of faith, the risen Vic- torious Christ lending His benediction to the earnest praying seeker after Him who is the truth, and the Church, the visiable organization through which we may all work. The Conference was a demonstration of the mighty efficacy of believing prayer. Using as their devotional motto Ask of Men, the one hundred and twenty-Hve student committee members for months prior to the Conference had prayed for the presence and the power of the Kingly Christ at the gathering. In addi- tion, youth and friends-of-youth throughout the Synod had joined in intercession for this enterprise. And God answered with a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, run- ning over. The Conference was a call to Augustana youth to live the Victorious Life. To youths whose Christian lives are morbid and impotent, weak and poverty-stricken, the message of the Jubilee Conference rings joyously clear: It IS possible in Christ to live a radiant Christian life-triumphant over sin, temptation, doubt, and trouble-victorious in service. Let us hope that the Jubilee Conference was an evidence of an Augustana youth movement. All over the world,.youth is on the march-the youth of Hitler, of Mussolini, of Stalin-the youth of China, of Britain, of France. Truly, the youth of the world are making history these days. However, here in America, it seems that except for a few sporadic and radical stirrings, we as Christian youth have been far too listless, too apathetic. We need to rouse ourselves in a Christ-centered, cross-centered youth movement. We youth of Augustana are a mighty army- 50,000 strong. Ah, that we were knit together by a flaming loyalty to the Master, what could we not accomplish for the extension of His Kingdom in the hearts of men! May the words of the poet ever echo in the hearts of the Jubilee delegates: Not with music and shouting, Exultant trumpet and drumg But with hearts like church bells ringing Conqueror, we come. Devouring fire, Invincible Light Builder of dawn on the ruins of night, Builder of music on the crystal halls of day- Christ, we are Thine-Command and we obey. 3 C4 I r A- '- r 'I 39 A - .

Mr- ' HENRY VELD Professor Henry Veld was obtained as instructor in voice in the Conservatory and as director of the Augustana Choir in the fall of 1929. He had graduated from the Chicago Musical College, where he majored in organ under C. Gordon Wedertz, and he had done private work under Richard B. DeYoung of Chicago, YV. Bradey and Oscar Seagle of New York, and VValter Golde. ' Since Mr. Veld has been at Augustana, he has de- veloped the choruses into groups widely known and praised throughout the United States. Of his work with the choir, Edward Moore, writing in the Chicago Tribune, has said: Mr. Veld has done fine work with these singers. VVhat he has accomplished with them is to weave them into a choir of fine musicianship. MUSIC Not only has Professor Veld developed the choir. but his work in the annual oratorio has been no less remarkable. The Messiah has been presented by him every year and has had no little success. This year as a part of the Jubilee celebration he is pre- senting Tl1e Elijah . BRVNOLF LUNDHCDLM During his years as a student here at Augustana, Brynolf Lundholm distinguished himself as a student and in campus activities. Having been the accompanist of the VVennerberg Chorus for three years of his col- lege career, he was appointed, upon his graduation in 1931, to a position on the conservatory faculty to ac- company the choruses and serve as assistant director. Throughout he has been regarded as a most capable and sympathetic accompanist, and, during Mr. Veld's illness this year, conducted the choir in two splendid concerts in YVenona and Rockford, Illinois. This year he has most ably directed the second chorus, an organization to train singers for the first choir. As leader of this group, he was musical direc- tor for the operetta, The Pirates of Penzance , the chorus work of which was presented by his choir. Mr. Lundholm received his A.B. at Augustana in 1931, his Bachelor of Music degree in 1933, and stu- died at Northwestern University in the summer of 1933. AUGLJSTAIXIA CI-IOIRL The VVennerberg Male Chorus, founded in 1901, and the Jenny'Lind Chorus, organized in 1915, have, during their existence and particu- larly since Mr. Henry Veld began his work here in 1929, developed remarkably and have estab- lished for themselves nation-wide prestige. In 1934 the Augustana Choir had the distinc- tion of being the only chorus ever to appear be- fore the two leading musical organizations of the country in the same year. In the spring, they were chosen from many other schools to sing in Chicago for the National Music Super- visorb' Convention, including all elementary and secondary school music teachers. Decem- ber 28 in Milwaukee, Wisconsiii, the choir pre- sented a one-hour demonstration program for the 56th annual convention of the Music Teach- ers' National Association, an organization in- cluding all professional conservatories and as- sociations of' private music instructors. At this convention, Mr. Veld offered a paper on choral conducting, and 'the choir presented, besides their concert numbers, a twenty-five minute re- hearsal. The Augustana Choir gave its fifth annual concert March 25, at Orchestra Hall, in Chi- cago, to a capacity audience. Glenn Dillard Gunn, newspaper critic, said of the choir after its appearance, Nowhere have the qualities of delicacy, discipline, and exquislte refinement characteristic of the American choral school 44141 2 been more brilliantly exemplified than in choruses developed by Henry Veld at August- ana Collegef' And Edward Moore, writing in the Chicago Tribune, said that the choir has never failed to give impetus to a belief in young singers . The Augustana Choir gave a half-hour pro- gram' over the National Broadcasting Com- pany's blue network, March 25, and over the Columbia 'Broadcasting System from YVOC, Davenport, Iowa, April 13. Enroute to Chi- cago, four successful concerts were given. Dur- ing the year the choir presented programs for the Moline Y. M. C. A. Lyceum, for tri-city high schools and churches, besides the concerts in neighboring towns. It also gave a concert before the 1500 delegates of the Youth Con- ference. On annual spring tour, houses with standing room all sold greeted their appear- ances. Indeed, enthusiasts from Omaha, being unable to secure tickets to the concert in their home city, drove to Lincoln to hear the August- ana Choir. The itinerary of this tour included: Muscatine, Mount Pleasant, Centerville, Ot- tumwa, Des Moines, Stanton, and Iowa City, Iowa, Lincoln and Omaha, Nebraska, and Ver- million South Dakota. The outstanding success of the Choir and its component parts, thc Vifennerbcrg and Jenny Lind Choruses, is unanimously ascribed to its director, Henry Veld. 'wsu -q-gl ,C W L, 'if I 'F' T 'l Z15fa'2?

The text of the oratorio, containing many of the fMes- sianic prophecies, is taken from the Bible. The oratorio was written by George Frederick Handel in 17-L2 and was presented in Dublin that ycar. It is considered to he Handel's greatest work. The Messiah was presented at Augustana for thc fifty-fourth time on Friday, December ll. 44 up ,fu-X. - ' -i: . 'tif' Sig eq., '- - -'-'eaZ?s.f:- .

Alpha Psi Omega, a national honorary dra- matic fraternity, organized in 1925, was chart- ered at Augustana in the fall of 1928. Only those are eligible who have taken outstanding part in the dramatic activities of the depart- ment. This fraternity endeavors to develop talent and the fine art of acting, to cultivate a taste for the best in drama, and, finally to foster the cultural values which dramatics de- velop. This fraternity was very active this year, Ossian, Harris, Holcomb, Fors, C. Johnson. Leland, Marker, Baker, Pierce, R. Magnuson CNot in Picturej. having taken in several new members. They were also active in the participation in plays. ln the Homecoming play Shakespeare? Shakespeare. Shakes-pearel , in the Mauritzson Memorial Play, The Editor , and in the Senior play, Out of the Nightn, Alpha Psi members took important parts both in the casts and in the directing. The president of this organization, John Phillip Leland, is at present the coach of dramatics at Augustana. WVith Mr. Leland at the head, this organization has enjoyed one of its most successful years. ALP!-IA PSI QMEGA PI KAPPA DELTA The earliest forensic organizations at August- ana were local debating societies which engaged one another in internecine and verbal warfare, each battling under the name of a patron saint selected from among such parliamentary plat- form heroes as Webster, Gladstone, and Cal- houn. . Feeling the need for a forensic society of a more extensive and honorary nature a group of Augustana men formed a local organization and petitioned for membership in Tau Kappa Alpha, national forensic fraternity. A charter was granted, and from 1921 to 1932 outstanding speakers at Augustana were honored with mem- bership in this body. Desiring to join a group more active and re- presentative of the west, the Augustana chap- ter relinquished its charter in the fall of 1932 and the following year petitioned Pi Kappa Delta for membership. At the national con- vention of-1934 this petition was granted. Pi Kappa Delta, the largest and most active of the three national forensic fraternities, was organized under the leadership of Professor E. R. Nichols, now of Redlands University, in 19112. The first chapter was established at Ottawa University, Ottawa, Kansas, in the same year. Since its founding Pi Kappa Delta has rapidly grown till now it comprises one hundred and fifty chapters in thirty-Hve states and territories. All sections of the country are represented, although, at present, the majority of the chapters are in mid-western universities and colleges. Activities of the fraternity are sponsored by the national, provincial, and local organizations. Biennially a national convention is held at one of the member schools. The tenth national con- vention met at Lexington, Kentucky, early in C4 D Dowie, Maucker, Rolf, Holcomb, Ekeberg, XValker. R. Johnson, C. Johnson, Denger, Denecke, Magnuson April of last year. Over seven hundred student speakers and coaches took part in the proceed- ings of the convention and tournament. Au- gustana, as a petitioning school, was represented by a delegation of five and had representatives entered in menis debate, oratory, and exteni- pore speaking. Petitioning schools were al- lowed to participate in the preliminaries, but although hampered somewhat by this restric- tion, the Augustana speakers managed to gar- ner no little glory for the school. Lloyd Sch- wiebert ranked fourth in a field of eighty ora- tors. Peter Denger fought through a welter of seventy extemp speakers and emerged tri- umphantly at the semi-finals only to be turned back by the petitioning college rule. The debating triumverate of Schwiebert, Maucker, and Johnson won three of the five debates al- lotted them. The greatest honor brought back to Augustana, however, was membership in Pi Kappa Delta, a boon denied to the majority of petitioning schools. For this achievement Pro- fessor Holcomb' is to be congratulated. In odd years, conventions are sponsored by the various provinces of Pi Kappa Delta of which there are thirteen. Representatives of Augustana have been present at the last two conventions of the Illinois Province, in which the local chapter holds membership. At the convention held this year at Carroll College, Augustana actively participated for the first time and gained honors in men's oratory. After the charter had been granted last spring the society elected officers for the en- suing year. The successful candidates were: Robert Maucker, presidentg Iverue Dowic, vice-presidentg Peter Denger, secretary-trcas- urerg and Lydia Ekcberg, corresponding secre- tarv.

Both program and performance have been distinctive in this, the Anniversary year in the history of the college. High points in the year's forensic activites are: the winning of the state debate championship, an interna- tional debate-Augustana's Hrst-with London University, high honors in all debate and ora- torical meets at which Augustana has been rep- resented, the largest number of contests in the history of forensics at Augustana-and this at no additional cost, and excellent training and experience for over twenty individuals. The season opened on the evening of No- vember 9th when over eight hundred rabid de- bate devotees, the largest gathering of such in college annals, packed the gymnasium to hear the local debating warriors take on representa- tives of London University in the Hrst inter- national debate ever held in western Illinois. The question for debate, Resolved: that science has not contributed to human happiness, was largely ignored by the speakers, to the great delight of the audience. Augustana's represen- tatives, Peter Denger and Chester Johnson, wholeheartedly collaborated with the visiting gentlemen, the Messrs. Scholes and I-Iirchfield in making the debate unorthodox. Dr. An- dreen, who performed brilliantly as chairman, echoed the sentiments of the audience when he said in conclusion: I have never heard any- thing like it V' On December 5th, three men's and two women's teams traveled to lVinI'ield, Kansas, to take part in the Southwestern Invitational De- bate Tournament. In two days' debating Au- gustana established the highest squad record of any of the 53 schools entered, with 13 vic- Sirnkins, Hetzlf-r.

In the senior tournament Kenneth VVa.lker and Arno Denecke won third in a field of 66 and were eliminated after five successive victories by Nebraska Wesleyan, who then proceeded to go on and win the title. Corinne Hetzler and Ila Simkins won fourth in the women's tournament in which 446 teams were entered. Gene Beattie and Sidney Deutsch ranked Hfth in the junior tournament. Leroy Peterson, Ivern Dowie, Marion Schiess, and Mary Jane Kirk materially aided in es- tablishing Augustana's excellent team rating. The Northwest Debate Tournament spon- sored by The College of St. Thomas at St. Paul, Minn., next became the cynosure of the debate squad, and an expedition under the com- mand of coaches Holcomb and LeVander set out for the northern capital on February 241th in the midst of a blinding snowstorm. After being marooned in Iowa drifts for 24 hours while the whole Middlewest speculated as to their whereabouts, the delegation reached St. Paul in time for the opening rounds of debates. The team composed of Russell Johnson and Robert Maucker succeeded in reaching the Sixth round, while the combination of Gene Beattie and Peter Denger were invincible till the eighth round where they were eliminated by Aberdeen, 3rd place winner in the Pi Kappa Delta National Tournament of last spring. By virtue of their versatility Beattie and Denger were awarded Hfth place honors in the tourna- ment which embraced Hfty-four of the best teams in the Mississippi valley. Four men's teams attended the University of Iowais practice tournament held at Iowa City, Marcli lst and 2nd. The men making the trip-VValker, Peterson, Denecke, Magnu- son, Goldfarb, Stevens, Deutsch, and Dowie, all acquitted themselves with rare distinction.

The menis affirmative team of Peterson and VValker made an auspicious start on the home floor on February 27th with a win over Brad- ley-by default. The following week they pro- ceeded to overwhelm Monmouth with decisive debating. The negative, represented in the brilliant and redoubtable Beattie and Denger, within the space of a week relentlessly mowed down opposition furnished by Lake Forest, Wlieaton, and North Central. On March 21 Wvalker and Maucker defeated DeKalb to clinch the state title and bring it home after three years' absencef ' The women by virtue of steady and 'consis- tent debating won four of six league contests, tying for second in the state. Mildred Clauson and Corinne Hetzler baffled and outmanouvered in succession Monmouth, Wlieaton, and North Central colleges. Marion Schiess and,Mary Jane Kirk, meeting with unexpectedly stubborn opposition, were defeated by DeKalb and Rosary but recovered to rout Eastern State Teachers of Charleston. At the Provincial, Convention held at Carroll College April lst to 3rd, Augustana was re- presented by two men's and two women's de- bate teams, two extempore speakers, and one orator. The outstanding debating achieve- ment was made by the women's affirmative team of Corinne Hetzler and Dorothy W'ilson who set up a record of three victories and no defeats. VVheaton, DeKalb, and Ripon were the victims. Peter Denger captivated the judg- es with his oration VVhy not try Love? , and came home with the third place trophy. 441492 ORATORY With Mr. LeVander again in charge of the department, the high standard of Augustana oratory has been maintained this year. In ad- dition to training the college orators Mr. Le- Vander conducted the annual Freshman Ora- torical Contest. This contest for beginning students in speech has the dual purpose of training new students in the gentle art of ora- tory and uncovering latent talent. Preliminary contests were held in class, the winners going to the finals which took place in the college chapel. The winner in the women's division was Ruth Evelyn Harris. Max Peterson triumphed in the men's contest. Both winners were presented with suitable awards betokening their prowess. In the field of intercollegiate oratory, orators were entered in four major contests. At the meeting of the Illinois lfVomen's Oratorical Association at VVl1eaton on February 14th and 15th Alice Anderson won third place with her oration, This is the Night . Miss Anderson spoke of the vicious effect of undesirable movies on youth and made an appeal for the co-opera- tion of the public in demanding motion pictures of higher quality. At the Pi Kappa Delta Pro- vincial Convention, Peter Denger won third place, presenting his creation, 'LlVhy not try Love? Mr. Denger's oration approached the question of international hatreds and distrusts from a psychological viewpoint and proposed a common-sense solution. Dr. Denger also gave this oration at the State Peace Oratorical Con- test. Melvin Carlson representing Augustana in the Illinois Menis Oratorical Contest.

This is shown by the unwillingness of some individuals to pose for pictures, even when they are not asked to pay for the privilege. For the benefit of such stu- dents, picture appointments this year were posted on the bulletin board, announced in chapel and the individuals themselves were notihed. Even then they refused to show up at the campus studio. This continued until it was too late. Then these persons wanted their pictures taken. The same thing occured in the case of some individuals who were asked to pay for their pictures. Of course, they did have some reason for their attitude. Perhaps it yscems that the writer is becoming a little bit too condemnatory. He hopes that the reader will forgive him, for it is merely another editor blowing off steam . After all, everything isn't covered with a pessimistic hue. The editor and his staff have 1'eally enjoyed publishing this Anniversary ROCKETY-I. It has given them a dehnite feeling of accomplish- ment now that the task is completed. If there are students who grumble a little, that only makes the editor and his staff feel that, after all, they are of some importance if they can cause such rumblings to come from the inner- most souls of their public. If by any odd quirk of fortune anyone should enjoy this book and notify the editor of his enjoyment, the editor would say, with a sob in his voice, I regret that I have only one year to give to my readers V' In all seriousness, the ROCKETY-I staff would like to thank the students and the faculty for the co-operation they have given us, If it had 44151 ry' w'Z' ' ff m'?

Magnusson and other faculty members, and the assistance and encouragement of Dr. G. A. Andreen, this publication would not have gained any of the little value it now may have. Next year the ROCKETY-I will probably be one of the few good books to be published at Augustana in the last five years, for with an editor by the name of Merrill Anderson behind the desk and a manager called Vincent Berg- man making collections, the year-book couldn't be anything but good. Merrill has gained much valuable experience from working as assistant editor of this book and has already started to make plans for the nineteen thirty-seven ROCKETY-I. Merrill hails from Moline and besides his literary abilities he has proven himself on the tennis courts and on the basketball Hoor. . Vince is another Escanabian. It seems that we are never free from these creatures. Last year the editor, Lund, was another of these ever present hometown boosters. Overlooking the fact that his home is in Escanaba, Mich., we can see many reasons why Bergman will be successful as the manager of the Rocksfrv-l. Vince has, for the past year been the house manager of the OSO fraternity. 'With this experience he has learned many valuable things which will help him in his work as the manager of the year-book. He has also shown on the track squad that hc has strong determination to keep going. lf he will just translate a little of that determination into his job next year everything will be as it should bc. lVe wish you luck boys. mi . f..:11,l -f v f A U- 'td --1 ' Aid-is?

This group of singers was organized the first semester of the school year and has been un- der the leadership of Professor Henry Veld. The quartettei with his guidance, maintains a high standard of music appreciation, both in style and quality of music, chosen and in the expression and interpretation of songs. i It is desired to establish this quartette as a permanent organization and with the instruc- tion of Mr. Veld it promises to be another ex- cellent music group. The quartette has been active during the spring term supplying entertainment for many organizations in the Tri-Cities. It has also sup- plied music for various high schools near the Tri-Cities, in co-operation with the Student Solicitation Department. This summer the boys are to tour the central states for a three months' period. Their pur- pose is to strengthen the spirit of Christian interest between our college and our churches and to acquaint our congregations with the standards and the activities of our school. . fr . f iis-B. . 51-QXK, -:D , . .-:'- , , ., ,Q Lp .i J ca- it- 9 -- s ff 'aff'-2ff'1 4-Ar'i1'i, i . eff- 1 ', Q , n mx, if., -,fy ll It -,ll 4, x ln., V, i .,.

The Sea-Cows officially known as the Jellyfish, have made a distinct contribution to the varied and many-sided social life of the college. Foregathering each Friday in the local tank these aquatic stars have intensified the general atmosphere of Augustana by lashing the tremulous wavelets into a turmoil and mak- ing the welkin ring with their glad, well-modu- lated cries. The entrance qualifications of this organiza- tion have been commensurate with the aquatic prowess of the charter members and therefore are unusually high. Neophytes have been con- ducted through a series of extensive tests grad- uated on an ascending scale of increasing com- plexity. Beginning with simple ducking the prospective Sea-cow demonstrates successive- ly his skill in the dead man's Hoat, dog paddle, and culminates, if adept, with an exhibition of plain and fancy cannonball and spread-eagle diving. Having thereby won his fins the suc- cessful candidate enters into the fellowships of the order. Meetings of the club are conducted with decorum and due regard for parliamentary procedure. Following the business session a social hour is passed pleasantly in harmonious diversion. The favorite pastime, by popular acclamation is aquatic pursuit and momentary manual assault known more commonly in local circles as water tag. Running a close second in popular esteem is ducks and drakes. The aims of this new organization are the Herrick, H. Victorson, Leland, F. Victorson, Hammer. Lewis, Case, Holder, VVesterberg, Sanford. promotion of brotherhood fand Sisterhood? at Augustana, the inculcation of high ideals of sportsmanship and fair play, the teaching of social habits of responsibility and all attitudes of mutual consideration, thru development of poise and self-reliance, and Hnally, the forma- tion of appreciations. The ends of this program are achieved by means of the Mixed Plunge repeated periodical- ly at weekly intervals. The aura surrounding and characterizing the picture is not caused by structural defects or excellencies of camera or photography, but consists rather of emanations of spiritual power, created and set into motion by the es- sential genius of the group. The leading spirit in the organization is the young lady in the extreme southwest corner. Although she con- ceals her triumph with that enigmatic smile she, through indefatigable efforts, has trans- lated the mixed plunge concept from a nebu- lous hope to a glorious reality. Challenging her supremacy is the young man securely ens- conced in the front row, whose F. D. R. smile has evidently been assumed for the benefit of his female admirers. Seriously disputing his aspirations, however, is the sparsely-topped gentleman with the conndent smirk and expan- sive chest who stands in the back tier and is flanked on either side by the similar Lotharios from the Windy City. The furry animal on the extreme left is the club mascot and answers to the name of Roscoe. The consumptive looking youth on the other wing has just had all the starch taken out of him when refused the pri- vilege of taking the picture. The remaining members defy all attempts at characterization. That far-away look is focused in part, on the aims of the club, some attention, no doubt, be- ing bestowed on our sorrel-maned photographic artist. SWIMMING CLUB 44 :Q Wim' it lCC011tiHHCd from Pass ai. WALLBEIQG HALL QE SCIENCE Associated with this large laboratory is the green-house. This is equipped for culture of both terrestrial and aquatic plants and will ultimately house a teaching collection of living plants, as well as plants for experimental use, Opening onto the large laboratory, and also the main hall, is the Biology dispensing room, Wllere the iHSt1'11H1CH'CS and II1al3C1'i21lS for Cu1'1'er1t Courses are stored for distribution to the students. General stock, which is stored in the basement store-room, is transferred to this dispensing-room via dumb-waiter, as needed. Naturally, also, the Biology department shares the work shop in the basement. Here new apparatus is built, or repairs made, in a shop well-equipped for work in either metal or wood. DEPARTMENT CF GEGLCGV By FRITIOF FRYXELL The Department of Geology occupies seven rooms, six on the second floor Ccomprising the north halfj, one in the basement Qsoutheastern cornerj. In addition it shares, with other departments, the use of the general lecture hall, the library, the machine shop, the stockroom, and the photo- graphic darkroom. Central in position and intended to coordinate all of the activities of the department is Geology Ilall, one of the largest rooms in the building. It is in the northwestern corner of the second floor, is exceptionally well-lighted, and is equipped with modern dust-proof museum cases. Here the department will maintain temporary and permanent exhibits devoted to the various divisions of earth science: systematic collections of ores, minerals, rocks, and fossils, exhibits explaining local geology and illustrating the geologic work of the wind, glaciers, streams, etc.5 examples of folding, faulting, and other aspects of dynamic geology, etc. Just inside the main entrance to Geology Hall is a library table, with chairs. Here will be kept new publications, the current numbers of the Journal of Geology, and similar material of special interest to the department. Geology Hall will be open throughout the day to visitors and to students who may wish to consult its exhibits, read the current literature, or use it for study purposes. Wall desks make possible the use of the Hall for instructional purposes when desired, and it is intended that laboratory work in paleontol- ogy be carried on here, where the fossil exhibits are available at Hrst hand. Geology Hall com- municates with the other rooms of the department by three exits. In the northeast corner of the second floor is the General Laboratory, equipped with geology desks, sliding blackboard, projection facilities, and museum wall cases. The latter are intended to hold plaster models and casts, and also, when necessary, to supplement the display facilities of Geology Hall. The Professofs Ojfice affords easy access to all other rooms in the department. As furnishings it contains desk, chairs, workbench, filing cabinet, typewriter stand, and bookcases. There is also an Advanced Labofratory, especially intended for the teaching of minerology but equally serviceable for other classes and seminar groups. ln addition to the usual equipment this room houses the mineral and rock cabinets. Midway between the departments of geology and physics is a Class Room, serving both de- partments. Across the hall from the Advanced Laboratory is the spacious Store Room. lt contains no less than ten carefully planned cabinets, each designed for its special purpose and in their details incorporating several new features. In these Cabinets are filed the collections of ores, invertebrate fossils, fossil plants, topographic maps, geologic maps, mineral models, lantern slides, geologic folios, as well as special collections. The room communicates with all other Hoors, and with the basement unpacking room and stockroom, by means of the dumb waiter. lt is sudiciently large so that it may serve, if desired, as an office fOr Sflldent assistants, or as a private research laboratory. The large basement room assigned to the department is a Geology Workslzop. lt may hc used for storage purposes, for the preparation of vertebrate fossils and other geologic materials. for the construction of relief models, for experiments in sedimentation, etc. Mention should also be made of the complete equipment in the machine shop for the grinding and polishing of rock specimens. 44 'I 5 5 rs .

Some time ago, the Illuminating Engineering Society, a na- tional non-commercial group, deterniincd to devise an ideal lamp for the students of this land. The 'committee of experts selected to carry out this task niadzr numerous experiments. They found that the old 'Kgoose-neck type of study lamp in popular use was basically incorrect. After con- siderable labor and expense, they drew up specifications for a new type of lamp-a lamp which would assure 'fperfectn light for read- ing, study, or other close work. This new lamp is equipped with a 100 watt Mazda bulb and a translucent glass bowl, which provides for both direct and indirect light. The shade is open at the top in order that some of the raYS be diffused from the ceiling, It is wide at the bottom so the direct light spreads over a large surface. The inside of the shade is white-to reflect better. The height of the lamp? Exactly IQVZ inches from the desk to the bottom of shade-high enough to con- ceal the bare bulbs. A number of leading manufacturers are following these speci- fications. Electric dealers everywhere are offering this certified study lamp at nominal price.

THE NEW' PLAN Courses will be conducted through individual or group conferences with the instructor, the frequency and length of these conferences be- ing determined by the nature Of the subject and the needs of the indi'viduo1.l student. In general it is expected that not less than two meetifngs with the instructor each week will be advisable. T-fines and places for confer- ences will be a matter of arrangement between instructor and students. Each 'instructor w'll ojer two, three, or four courses. For each course U. syllabus with reading lists will be prepared and copies 'made available for the use of students. Each student may register for two Courses, earning normally sim credits for the sinr weeks' session. In the case of four-credit courses, the work will be continued a proportionate length if i'l7'Il0 beyond the sim-week period. W'h.ere a special arrangernent with the instructor can be made, a second term of work may be com- pleted on the same plan. A mid-term test in each Subject will be given- at the end of the third week. The last two days of the session will be used for three- hour oral and written 6ID!t7'll.l7lfttl071S, two 032- amnation periods being scheduled for ea-ch day. ADVANTAGES OF THE NEW' PLAN With a larger nuznber of course offerings and all possibility of class conflicts remowd, the student's range of course choices will be very greatly increased. Under the i-ndepenrlent study plan the needs and problevns of th.e incl-ividual student can be gizien primary consideration and each stu- dent is enabled and encouraged to proceed at his own- best -rate. The freedom. allowed each instructor as to schedule provides the obvious advantage, in enrtremely hot weather, of using the cooler hours of the day for conferences. The erzrcellent book collections of the Denlc- mann Library in. ea-ch field, made more coin- pletely adequate by recent new additions, with ideal study conditions in its spacous and well- venlilated reading room, open throughout the day, provide an adm-iralnle situation for the successful realization of the new plan.

The Augustana School of Music takes pleasure in announcing its forty- eighth season. Since its founding in 1887 many students have shared in its growth and have added to its name in all parts of this country. Many changes have been made and our growth continues. The faith and courage of the founders are a steady incentive and the present generation finds new scholastic and professional advan- tages that are in accord with the most recent developments. Full courses leading to the degrees, Bachelor of Music and Bachelor of Music Education, are offered both during the regular session and the summer session. A professional staff of serious and routined musicians is available throughout the year. The School of Music takes this oppor- tunity of greeting its many friends and former students and thanking them for sincere co-operation and continued sup- port.
