THE JUBILEE YEAR, 1910, found Augustana celebratin its first fift ears with five buildings and an average student body of 540. g y y 1860 - 1960 Prologue VIEWS OF A CENTURY One hundred years have passed in the history of Augustana-a century of dreams realized and of progress unforseen. From humble beginnings in Chicago, Augus- tana has grown to be a large and respected Christian liberai arts college. This, the centennial issue of the Rockety-l, offers a contrast between the Ohi and the new, a review of the Augustana of yesterday and a glimpse into the Augus- tana of tomorrow. The purpose of the book is to give in- sight into the Augustana of today through a better understanding of the school's rich heritagel For the his- tory of Augustana is not merely the recitation of location, dates, and names. It is more than just the life story of a liberal arts college. It is the history of one hundred years of America as seen and symbolized by a growing college community. And it is the story of a people, a reverent people, who wished to proclaim and spread the truth as they found it in their Christian faith.
