DR. CONRAD BERGENDOFF, PhD. College President 55c 8nduring Contrast Our country has gone through tremendous changes since 1860, the year Augustana came into being. A bloody Civil War, rapid development of the re sources of an expanding nation, a world war, an incredible depression, a second world war, international instruments, the atom bombi unprecedented prosperity coupled with uncertain security-a mere mention of thsse outstanding happent ings of the century suggests the kind of a world Augustana has had to find itself. Even more important is the change in human thought throughout this cen- tury. Men,s ideas, attitudes, ideals, faith have altered. Today the question is be- ing debated if anything remains certain, if any fixed star may guide the voyage of man. In contrast to an age where, to use Walter Lippmarfs phrase, mWhirl is King? Augustana still believes in certain enduring verifies which do not change as life changes. It joins in the search for truth wherever the mind of man may go, but it also bows in faith and obedience before the Author of Truth and re- joices in the grace of the Word of Godt The real meaning of either the old or the new lies in that which endures in both old and new.
