6?- :T N 3.21 1 t o 1 Www C. Renius Berggren was born in Minneapolis on March 28, 1898. He finished grammar school and entered South High School, Minneapolis, in 1917. Then it was that he first became interested in Y. M. C. A. work and did Buoys Work in the Nlinne- apolis association. In Augustof 1918 he enlisted in the Aviation corps and was stationed at Austin, Texas, receiving his discharge Christmas week,A1918. He re-entered Y. M. C.

He came to Des Moines Col- lege in September, 1919, and While here he became connected with the city Y. M. C. A., and remained with them in several capacities while in the city. In the summer of 1921 he acted as field Worker for Des Moines University and while at Iowa Falls at the Baptist Assembly he hurt his hand While working on the car. Blood poison set in and three serious operations resulted. He arrived at his home in Minneapolis on the fourth of August. He, the doctors thought, had recovered from his illness, and on September 3, 1921, he was married to Miss, Ingeborg Sund, of Minneapolis. He died on September 11, 1921. The first few days of school year this September were hard ones' when we realized that our leader of the past few years would not return. We would miss his song leading in chapel, we would miss him as the enthusiastic president of the College Y. M. C. A., welwould miss him as the yell leader. The loss of his abundant personality has been felt throughout the year by those who knew him best among faculty and students. He was a man of sterling, character and of far-sighted vision and a man of cherished ideals.
