Every day we come 4 in contact with those whose viewpoint is wide- ly different from ours. Their interest, their class, their literary society, their social set, their political clique must share the pages of this book with our own. We are living in a college of principle. Here we soon become imbued with the idea of the broader life. Here we are trained in those sterner things that make for true man- hood and true womanhood. We are living in a college of traditions. The old St. Olaf Elmg the old Ladies' Hall and the hollow elm hard by itg the carved rock on the campusg the Hbautastenn in the parkg the peaceful Norway Valleyg the records of victories fought and wong these are constant reminders of those who have gone to the really Greater Collegeg of those whose influence still affects us in that something we feel when we sing All Hail St. Olaf. In this book we have endeavored to picture whether those principles and tradi- tions are hollow mockery or living, throbbing, impelling forces. Reader, the Viking introduces you to a Christian Col- lege where the great things of college life are not lost in the frivolous frenzy of the campus.

The Story of St. Olaf College By PROP. O. G. FELLAND. ,N'I'2 E celebrate annually the birthday of St. Olaf College on the sixth of November. On that day, in the year 1874, a clergyman, a merchant, and three farmers formed themselves into a corporation by adopting a charter un- der the laws of Minnesota for the purpose of establish- ing an institution of learning in Northfield under the name and style of St. Olaf's School. By virtue of this charter St. Olaf was officially recognized as an institution of learning, although it had no real estate or building, no president or faculty, and no students. It was somewhat like Lichtenberg's famous knife, Messer ohne Klinge, wo der Stiel dran fehlt. But it was not to remain long in this condition. The very first official act of the board of trustees was to issue on the same day a call to Reverend Thorbjorn N. Mohn to be the principal of the new institution. That call meant success. Mr. Mohn promptly accepted, and within a month he had arrived and taken up the work of arranging for the opening of the school. The first requirement was to secure rooms, and on the seventeenth of December the trustees bought the old Pub- lic School property, including the four lots on which the Congregational church now stands, and which were then occupied by two school buildings. These were furnished and fitted up to receive the students. Two thousand and five hundred dollars was the amount paid for the property. January the eighth, 1875, had been fixed as the opening day of the school. At ten o'clock the students and others gathered in one of the class rooms for the dedi- cation service, which was conducted by Rev. B. I. Muus, of Holden, Goodhue county, the father of the new institution. In the afternoon another meeting was held in the same room, on which occasion the principal, Reverend Mohn, delivered his inaugural address, and in the evening they gathered once more for divine ser- vices, conducted by Rev. H. G. Stub, now president of the Norwegian Synod. At the first roll call there were 38 students present, and the total enrollment for the first year was 50, of which I2 were girls. The arrangements thus made were looked upon as only temporary. To secure a permanent location was the next step, and naturally the wooded 'hill west of town, now known as Manitou Heights, attracted attention. Mr. H. Thorson, a member of the board of trustees, negotiated the deal whereby St. Olaf became the owner of the twenty acre lot on which the Main building now stands, and the ten . cg- 1 - .

Real estate has gone up some. Half acre lots are now selling at the rate of 31,200 an acre. Having secured the grounds, the next step was to erect the permanent building thereon. The corporation, however, had neither funds nor endowment, and although all the members of the board belonged to the Nor- wegian Synod, they could not count on any direct contribution from that body for a private venture. The only way open for them was to solicit subscriptions from thoise interested in the success of the project, the town people and the adjacent territory within a radius of 25 miles. In Northfield about 36,000 was subscribed, while the congregations of Reverend Muus and Reverend Quammen subscribed about 316,000 With this sum the Main building was erected in the years 1877 and ,78. The cornerstone, which may be seen in the northwest corner at the top- of the basement wall, was laid by the president of the Norwegian Synod, Rev. H. A. Preus, on the fourth of july, 1877. In the fall of 1878 the building was occupied and dedicated, although not finished. In fact, the tower was not completed till 1884. As soon as the old buildings in town were vacated, the lots were sold and the buildings torn down, and with this material Mr. Thorson, at his own expense, erected the Old Hall, which is practically the same building in which the school first started. With this equipment the school carried on its work for more than twenty years. 7 During these years it grew and gradually developed into a college, which had been the aim of the founder from the beginning. Up to 1890 the course required three years, after that it became a four years' course. The college course was launched in 1886 and of the Freshmen who entered the first class three completed the course in 1890. In 1889 the charter had been amended by an act of the Legis- lature of Minnesota, and the institution was henceforth officially styled St. Olaf College. At first the work of the college department was made possible by annual con- tributions from the Anti-Missourian Brotherhood, consisting of those congrega- tions and ministers who had separated from the Norwegian Synod on account of the controversy concerning the doctrine of predestination. Upon the organiza- tion of the United Church, in 1890, St. Olaf was made the college of the United Church. But a part of the Norwegian-Danish Conference, the so-called Augsburg element, did not look with favor upon this move and soon found a pre- text for openly opposing St. Olaf. The consequence was that St. Olaf was aban- doned by the United Church in 1893 and lived in exile till 1899. These were years of hardship for St. Olaf, and had it not been for the cordial support of its old friends and the strenuous efforts of Prof. Ytterboe, the financial secretary of the college, it would be hard to tell what would have happened. As it was St. Olaf kept on working for the best interest of the United Church, and was rewarded by re-adoption in 1899. 10 .1- N X -Sl - 1 , -ci. -5f ' 1' -3,-3:f.- T '-,ye U Mff.:2-f A --ll-.- Y:-f-,,-f-- agar, . . J Z: The man who, under God, had guided the destiny of St. Olaf College during :,,b E? the first twenty-five years of its existence was President Mohn. Few realize how much we owe to this man. Let future generations of St. Olaf Alumni try to re- alize their indebtedness to him who gave his life work to the upbuilding of the Christian college. I-Ie laid the foundation, and whatever St. Olaf is or ever will become must rest upon that. Besides what has been mentioned he prepared for the future expansion of the college by adding forty-seven acres to the campus, most of which he secured privately and afterwards deeded over to St. Olaf Col- lege. A new era of expansion began with the year 1899. The undergraduate stud- ents of the United Church Seminary were to be transferred to St. Olaf. This meant an immediate increase of about 2oo students, and to accommodate these the Boys' Dormitory was erected in 19oo. In this year the presidentls residence was also built. Then followed the Steensland Library in 1902, costing approximately SI3,000, which was given by Consul Halle Steensland, of Madison, Wisconsiii. In IQO5 the central heating plant was built. The next year saw the completion of the Hoyme Memorial Chapel, erected by the United Church in memory of its first pres- ident, Rev. Gjermund I-Ioyme, mainly through the efforts of our late lamented vice president, the Rev. Nils J. Ellestad. i . In 1907 the St. Olaf I-Iospital was built under the auspices of the St. Olaf As- sociation. A substantial barn was the next building. Then came the Finseth band stand, and last but not least, came the Mohn I-Iall, named in honor of the first president of St. Olaf College. This outward expansion has been accompanied by a corresponding expansion in other lines. The number of students has increased more than tenfold, and the number of teachers in proportion. The curriculum has developed new courses, and added new departments to the different courses from time to time. The li- brary has grown to Io,ooo volumes. Three laboratories for the teaching of sci- ence have been equipped. Independent student activities have been fostered in various directions. The students have taken a leading part in oratorical contests and intercollegiate debates. The St. Olaf College Band has gained an enviable rep- utation. Athletic sports have been cultivated. Society work lias prospered. Re- ligious organizations are making their influence felt in the uttermost parts of the earth. The banner of St. Olaf still floats, and on it are inscribed the words which President Mohn selected for inscription on the official seal of the College, the old battle cry of King Olaf: Pram, Pram, Cristmenn, Crossmenn! 11 X - ,1 N.- Rf 'xv-. g, -- .,..v-:F ..g A7-A, fLL.,.,. -7 , .- .,.x,s .. - N.,-CK ,F - St. Olaf College a Christian College By PRES. 1. N. KILDAHL. T. OLAF COLLEGE is a church school. It is the college of the United Lutheran Church. Why does the church maintain a col- 45, lege? Because the church believes in Christian education. What is the work of a Christian college? It is, of course, in many respects the same as that of any other college. Its work, i of course, must be college work. But, as logicians would express it, the term Christian college is wider in intention than the term college, because a Christian college has all the characteristics of a college, plus those characteristics which make it a Christian college. And what are the characteristics of a Chris- tian college? Or, in other words, what work must be done in a college in addition to general college work in order that it may be termed a Christian college? The special Work of a Christian college is to impart Christian knowledge, to inculcate Christian doctrine and Christian principles, to teach Christian morals and to in- fluence the students to lead Christian lives. This is what St. Olaf College is trying to do. It ought to be the aim of a college to develop symmetrically the whole man, and thus to produce the highest and most nearly perfect type of manhood and womanhood. The highest and most nearly perfect type of manhood and woman- hood is that which most resembles Christ. But this type of manhood and woman- hood can be obtained only by a thorough knowledge and constant practice of the Christian religion. It is evident that the college which neglects to develop the religious and spir- itual life of its students does not develop the whole man, and does not aim at pro- ducing the highest and most perfect type of manhood and womanhood. The ed- ucation which students of such a college get is very defective. And not only is de- velopment of the most important part of man neglected at a non-Christian college, but even the knowledge which is imparted at such an institution is very one-sided. The students of such a college study the works of Xenophon, Caesar, Goethe, Shakespeare, Longfellow, and Ibsen, but they do not study the greatest and most Wonderful book that has ever been published. They learn to know who Charle- magne and Henry VIII were, but they learn nothing about Moses and Paul, the two men who have influenced the world by far more than any other two men. They are instructed in regard to the relation between mind and body, but they are taught nothing as to the relation between man and God. The non-Christian college cannot give the best and most adequate education. ,. ,..-- 12 .f '?' '-if X -Qsfi?-'i1I,5.':'-E.c7-ily? V if , ,,.. J .--T- ff.:c1?'- '.LJ:', Qiif'-.75 .J 4. For such an education we have to look to the Christian college. But not only is instruction in the Christian religion eliminated from the non- Christian colleges, but in many of them anti-Christian ideas are inculcated and the students are taught to look upon the Bible as a book which cannot be trusted. It is simply impossible to teach some of the subjects offered at a college Without touching on matters pertaining to our attitude to the Bible. It is often taken for granted and spoken of as an admitted fact that science and the Bible do not agree. You cannot, of course, expect that a student in all cases should be able to discriminate between mere hypotheses and facts, and stud- ents who are not especially interested in religion do not, as a rule, know much about what the Bible really does say. They hear and read all the time that modern science has done away with the old belief in the Bible. And they take it for granted that it is so. They do not stop to consider that scientific theories held a hundred years ago are ridiculed by scientists of to-day, and that theories held to be true to-day will be proved untenable a hundred years hence. It is the privilege of the Christian college to show its students that there is no conflict between religion and science, but that the most beautiful harmony exists between the two. In an address delivered two years ago at the North Dakota University Mr. I. I. Hill said : - I have a warm spot in my heart for the Christian colleges. It is a serious matter to send your boy to college, and many a young man comes back a skeptic, not because he has learned too much, but because he has learned too little. You may tind out many things by your laboratories and investigations, but when We come to spiritual things we are limited to revelation. Because St. Olaf College is of the same opinion it tries not only to help its students to read the Book of Nature but also the Good Old Book containing God's revelation, and it tries to show its students that the two books are by the same au- thor. 13 2- 1. ,SSC ..,-,vQ-Ei- 'E-T 75 lf .- fi K ssr9g,,lgiliI5-l-i:frf?f.'ftS-1ieiir-- r ,ME 7, A.: ti T-C, -fy-22 . r. -5? Opportunities of St. Olaf HIS topic bids us think as idealists and optimists about our college. The realist is too much interested in things XX as they are to think of the opportunities of the X future, and the pessimist does not see the oppor- tunities. However, we must not be idealists to ' 'I - such an extent that we forget the realities of the ' present and proceed to build our castles of oppor- tunity in the air. The small colleges in our country are apparently facing some serious conditions. On the one hand we note the remarkable development of the public high school. By the multiplication and lengthening of its courses, by seek- ing a close adjustment to the rural schools as well as the grades, and by adapting itself to the special needs of the people it is fast becoming a people's college. On the other hand we see the professional schools increasing both in numbers and species and offering economic advantages that attract many. Between these two classes of schools the pessimist sees the small college of the future lose its being as if between the upper and nether millstone. A struggle for existence does not mean, however, the absence of opportunity. The multiplication of high schools will mean an increasing number of young peo- ple ready to seek an advanced education, and the constituency of the college will increase rather than decrease, provided the college offers the education that the future high school graduate wants. As technical schools develop, in which only specialized training is given, and more and more people take advantage of them, there will also be greater demand for the more general and liberalizing education which the college tries to give. Someone will say, that in the struggle to meet the new demands many of the present colleges will fail. This will no doubt be true. Some so-called colleges will cease to exist altogether, others will become academies and junior colleges, some will become technical schools. But this very struggle will be an opportunity for the colleges that can meet it. It will compel them to advance and adapt them- selves to the changing conditions, and this compulsion is the very essence of op- portunity. What are some of the specific demands which in this struggle will come to St. Olaf College and which, if it meets them properly, will constitute its oppor- tunities? Will, there be a demand for more buildings, better equipment, more efficient teaching? Undoubtedly, and all of these will result in a general demand By PROF. JULIUS BoRAAs 14 gf W G-NZ N.

Fortunately, there seems to be a growing conviction among peo- ple, that many, if not most, of the social problems of to-day can most efficiently be solved by educational methods. Consequently, there is an increasing tendency among those who have means and the disposition to use them for the good of society to make use of educational institutions as the agents. The numerous and large donations annually given to the cause of education give abundant proof, that an institution which performs a worthy service and does not keep its light under a bushel need not fail on account of the lack of financial support. A college that shall prove its right to exist and grow must, however, have more to its credit than the things which have been mentioned, indispensible as they are. It must be an institution that stands for definite ideals and offers a definite and real service. It must be the bearer of a specific message to the growing gener- ation, a message which is peculiar to it as an institution and which it can voice bet- ter than any other institution, a message which will stamp itself upon the charac- ters of teachers and students, control the spirit of the school, and form the center of its life. In olden times, when educational work was less organized than it is now, and the individual teacher counted for much more than he does at present, it was cus- tomary for students to wander from one place to another in order that they might listen to this or that famous teacher, who was not a school master only but a teach- er in a wider sense, a prophet with a message for his time. He was best taught who best succeeded in carrying forward the spirit and the message of the master, and so definite was the influence of the teacher over pupil that people could tell by it whose disciple a young man had been. While this is yet true in certain lines of special education, such as music and art, it is no longer true of education general- ly. The individual teacher is merged in the institution. As there seemed to be a loss of soul when the individual business man was lost in the corporation, so there has apparently been a loss of spirit when the teacher was lost in the institution. We are beginning now to complain of the fact that the corporations are so soul- less. Will it not be well also to inquire of institutions as to what manner of spirit they have? And, will not that inquiry, whether expressly and consciously made or not, be an opportunity for the college that can meet it well? St. Olaf College is an organ of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church. As such its possibilities for service are merged with the life and the ideals of the church. Two distinct opportunities may be discerned in this relation. One con- sists in conserving the present ideals of the church and transmitting its message so as to make it a vital force in the coming generation as it has been in the life of the one that is passing. This service aims principally at the continued existence of the church. There is another and more difficult opportunity for service. Its aim is not only the conservation but also the growth of the church. The demand is made of public education to-day that it shall not only transmit to the coming generation 15 -W .adggf 5 , N f be 9 . 4- I x 15 .1 X WX xx T' 'N,f- A . i xy-. sjtm.f?Fe'ElTT-'S'7.' - live?-3 JSZ xy' ' ' ' ' 'if'-A19 V4 the heritage of the past, but that it shall so interpret the message of the past as to Q 42 create an inspiration which will make the life of the descendant better than that of Q? the ancestor. As a good steward it is not to return its talents without interest. That church college is an unworthy servant which does not make possible a better church than the one which laid its foundation. This is an opportunity before which any college or institution needs to stand with humility and reverence. St. Glaf College is also a Norwegian-American institution. As such it has a unique service to render. An individual, as a race, must be well rooted in the past to live completely and effectively. By circumstances of immigration the Nor- wegian-American has been separated from his ancestry and his country. He adopts his new country as readily as it adopts him, but it is for him a country without a past in any real sense such that he can feel the influence of its history as a stamina in his very marrow and bone. He needs some agency which will con- serve and interpret for him the history, the spirit of the two civilizations that he represents and so adapt the one to the other that the joint result shall excell either constituent. just such a work is a part of the functions of our college, and, if it is performed not narrowly and selfishly, but broadly and ideally, it will constitute a very valuable service not only to the special class to which it ministers, but also to the citizenship, the intellectual and spiritual welfare of the country as a whole. One of the criticisms made concerning American colleges in general is, that they lack individuality, show no variety in type. Our college is fortunate in hav- ing a particular work to do, a definite message to proclaim. It is not a duplicate of any other college. This prevents destructive competition and at the same time gives a specific character to the institution. It will be noticed that we have spoken of opportunity almost exclusively in terms of service. There are no better terms. According to this view our college will have its greatest possibilities and be worth the most when it renders the great- est service to mankind g for it is true of institutions as of individuals, that whoso- ever will be great let him be as one that serves. Our age is rich in inspiration for service. We are experiencing in this coun- try a revival of righteousness such as the world has scarcely seen before. Educa- tional, social, economic, and political problems are urgently demanding solution. All of them are vital to the welfare of the mass of the people, and all spring from a quickened conception as to the duty of a man to his neighbor. Our country is literally hungering for righteousness. In business, in labor, in professional life, in politics, in social relations, everywhere is heard the question, Who is my neigh- bor and how may I be to him as a brother? Ou-r time needs men and women who have much real knowledge, who have broadness of vision, who are dominated by high ideals, and who are filled with sympathy and the spirit of true service, to study and analyse these problems and to give themselves to the labor of their so- lution. 16 .f 5-I -243 ,,. i:- -.:1'-Xf.'lE.. ,-.-,,,,,. ,--- ,. -A.,--f-f ,f ,,,-A , ..

Foundations for a new stage of development are being laid. There is demand for honest and intelligent workers to survey the field, to stake out the corners, and to establish the lines, so that the new building may be better than the old. What a glorious opportunity our college will have if it can rightly interpret the signs of the times so that it may inspire and efficiently assist young men and women to prepare for answering the call to service! May St. Olaf College heed the clarion call of the age to every institution as to every individual to leave the low-vaulted past and build more stately mansions as the swift seasons roll, to stand bravely for the cause of progress, to take a real part in the struggle of mankind for salvation. 126 Most Urgent Material Needs of St. Olaf College By P12012 P. G. SCHMIDT I-IE marked increase in attendance in the college department at 1 St. Olaf College during the last three or four years is very ' I gratifying indeed to all friends and supporters of the M jy f g' -1 institution. In IQIO-II the enrollment in the college gg ' was 220. The next year saw this number increased to f' 261, and this year the total enrollment will be above 330. In two years, the attendance in the college has increased about 100. Three years ago the number of students in the Freshman class was considerably below 100. Last year the number was 107, while so far this year nearly 150 have enroll- ed in this class. While this remarkable showing is a cause for intense gratification, it must nevertheless be admitted that it causes some needs that have been felt at our college already for a number of years, to become more and more imperative. The following brief summary of the present material needs of St. Olaf is written, not in a spirit of dissatisfaction or ingratitude because these needs have not been supplied as yet, but rather, first, in a spirit of thankfulness that our col- lege has prospered so much and continues to prosper, and that new needs are con- tinually arising, and secondly, in the hope that some solution may speedily be found for supplying the needs to which attention is here called and which are so keenly felt. St. Olaf has much in the way of material equipment for which we all are truly thankful. Its large and beautiful campus of nearly 140 acres of land, can 17 I 'MV r-fi R. xi 11 IA . .. ,.f'?.s ..,-1'-'L E- ess. ...X ff: 9 1 .Z K X Y ,.-.

The dormitories, chapel, library and central heating plant compare very favorably with buildings for these purposes found on the grounds of other institutions similar to our own. Students coming to St. Olaf College are surely provided with a beautiful home as long as they remain here. Possibly in this respect as much is done at our college as is done at any other college in the state. The need for dormitories here was felt some years ago and ample provision has been made to supply the wants of the institution in this respect. At the present time, the needs of St. Olaf are better equipments for carrying on the real work of the institution. In the buildings which are now found on the campus an attempt is being made to carry on work for which these buildings were not intended. The boys' dormitory for instance serves not only as a dormitory, but also as a gymnasium, a boarding establishment for the entire institution and a music hall. The old Main building was erected when the school was first estab- lished. The boarding department was located in the basement, a part of the first floor was occupied by the families of the faculty, the second floor was used for recitation purposes, while the third floor consisted of dormitory rooms for boys. That was in the days of small beginnings and such an arrangement was possible because the number of students was very small, and few recitation rooms were needed. This building has been somewhat remodeled since that time, and it now serves as our administration and recitation building. In it are now located the administration offices, all of our laboratories, and almost all of our recitation rooms. Although S-t. Olaf College is one of the largest colleges in these western states, it is probably as poorly equipped so far as buildings and equipment for ed- ucational work are concerned as any other college. In the two buildings mentioned above, namely, the men's dormitory and the main building, the college is trying to carry on work which many other colleges are doing in five or more buildings, and we shall briefly call attention to the three buildings which- are lacking here at St. Olaf. Manifestly, our first and greatest need is better provision for recitation work. There are now too few class rooms and most of these which we have are too small. Many are not at all suited for recitation work as they were originally not at all in- tended to serve this purpose. Our largest class room will seat comfortably no more than 40 or 45 students, yet there are many classes in which the enrollment passes the 60 and 70 mark. A class in one of the languages recited all last year with an attendance of over 100. One of our scientific departments is located in a room about the size of an ordinary class room. The entire equipment of this de- partment is found in this room. There are enrolled in one of the classes in this department over 70 students, and these are expected to do efficient laboratory work here where there is hardly room for the class to be properly seated. It is impossi- ble to divide these large classes into sections because obviously an increased num- 18 -.f N. -wr' j f-if ,, If '- ' ' ' 4-f I- ':i Oh -Trl' f J Q...- -erifjk-3 il Q Aw., Qjs- lfL':f- lv!!! gp ' ,tria- ,R W --e Trix? -ffl:-A figs!!-3 -J 1 ber of sections requires additional rooms, and now, as it is, every room that can - A Eg, possibly be used for recitation work is occupied. Wlien we remember that this building was erected in 1874 and that there is absolutely no ventilation in it what- soever, except by means of open windows and doors, it is seen at once that here we have a condition of things that demands immediate attention. To remedy this condition of things, a new building is in great demand-either a science building or a building for the language and historical departments. Another need that has been felt for some years is a gymnasium. When the boys' dormitory was built, a gymnasium was provided for in the basement of one of the wings. The room served a good purpose when the number of students was smallg but the number of men who need physical training has increased very much since then, so that now the gymnasium room has become entirely inadequate and the shower and bath and locker rooms have become altogether unsanitary. At present, furthermore, the girls have no gymnasium and are therefore prevented from get- ting the benefit of this kind of work. All the colleges in Minnesota, I believe, now have well equipped gymnasium buildings. St. Olaf College stands alone with no gymnasium. Some of the colleges even refuse to send teams to compete with our men in this so-called gymnasium of ours. A new gymnasium is needed indeed. A third imperative need at St. Olaf is a building for the Department of Music. Our music department is large and thriving and is doing splendid work-a work that means much for our people and for our church. But no adequate room has been provided at St. Olaf for carrying on this work. Up to this time a number of rooms in each of the dormitories have been occupied by the music department, and the instruction in music and the instrumental and vocal practice work, is taking place here. This arrangement is, however, becoming more and more unsatisfac- tory, as there are now more than' 150 students studying music at St. Olaf. Not only would the work be less annoying if it could be carried on outside of the dor- mitories in a separate building, but it could also be done more efficiently, for a music department such as ours needs rooms which they now do not have, for in- stance, rooms for private rehearsals, recitals, etc. A 19 5 Vc...s , n,,P54 H K 2 -af X .

As winter came on our Viking spirit became more manifest and having discovered the origi- nal purpose of the library road, we could be seen on our class bobs, the Comet and the Coquette, braving its perilous turns at all hours. Indeed, we were even ac- cused of venturing out after a class party given by our honorary members. The hour was late and we were in our party frocks, still we were only Freshmen, so it might have been. Like all good Freshmen we won the track meet in the spring, 40 -J 4 .Q deaf N- N . ,f -n-,,,-::L, 1 LC!

The next two years passed only too swiftly. Gf work there was plenty but good times were never lacking, not even when we had to fall back on a technicality for a picnic breakfast. Many of our members left us but we were glad to welcome others into our midst and in the winter of our junior year we had a grand rally, or as we called it umenighets mote. The Olson, Fladager, and Schlitzberger families were all there, as well as Pastor Peder Dass and family, Klokker Grinde and family, and even the Flannigans. After a heated discussion Ole Huseby and wife with twelve children were admitted into the congregation whereupon we cele- l I THE SENIOR-JUNIOR RECEPTION HALL 1912 brated in true ,I3 style. As a parting tribute to the class of 1912 we tendered the junior-Senior banquet, the first to be given in Mohn Hall, and I trust that the memories of that evening will not soon be forgotten. Now we are Seniors and as we look back we realize how short we have fallen of the standard we as Freshmen set for ourselves. We have been represented in all student activities coming first, sometimes g last, sometimes. We have been naughty but not too naughty, good but not too good. This year we have our laurels in oratory to win, but if it should please fate' to withhold them from us, we will still have done our best, more than which angels cannot do. If we could point out the one thing which has been most worth while in our college career it must be the friendships made. When Mrs. Browning asked Charles Kingsley what was the secret of his life, that she might make hers beauti- ful, he replied: I had a friend. May we never lose that rare friendship of our 41 ' . i, yi Ima.. '3s:f,.'3' T, J + -iii' z ,-J i- Fifi 1, j 'fm ai EE - -71 x, N:-f xy., 'v'v:.i, -rx?-A .-v.N7Z- -. ' '. f1L,,.,. -:7 L, ,- wi EN -K.

But permit me to recall only a few of the most important occurrences that have met us as a class since we made our debut at St. Olaf College. Our registration in the fall of IQIO marks the initial step in our college career. To many of us this step seemed to be rather long, for it was a lingering one. 'We could not then quite agree with Milton when he says: They also serve who stand and wait. But our waiting must have been a case of I must wait on myself. ttf. '14-it 11' ul , 'r' la V' 7 1 ll . 11,1 l ll., ' , ll' l ,ummm llllllt in THE GIRLS ' Registration day, however, had its pleasant surprise. For the first time in the history of St. Olaf College the Freshman class numbered ninety plus. Only a few of the Academy graduates had returnedg but what a host of recruits! VVe knew too well that there would be troubles to contend with-troubles that inevi- tably corne to the Freshmen. Should we be submissive to the dictates of the upper classes, or should we ourselves plan and direct the advance? Could there be any doubt about our choice, if the enlisted were united under a fearless leader? This was our next move. Long will the class of IQI4 remember the day we organized our forces. Mr. Gerhard Peterson was elected leader. Immediately he went to work. The lively discussion that ensued gave ample proof that all were interested in the success of our class. The minor officers were soon chosen. With confidence in our leader and loyalty to our class, we adjourned ready to do and dare that respect and honor might come even to a Freshman. Our faithful leader did not wish to be sole ruler, but took several occasions to consult his force. Once, in response to his call, we gathered to select our hon- 58 N.. 'J' if N 11, 0 If T:Q.lQTf?-TQZTTJTL-f?'?:E0 ,LQ 4- ...- - -:i-L: Q :-: ,lla-1'- 'J - ' ,Ari 9? orary members. After much deliberation we chose Dr. and Mrs. Flaten. Never have we regretted this step. Both as friendly advisers and pleasant entertainers 1:-T they have royally treated us. May we prove worthy of the true friendship they iff 42 have shown and wish to show us. We had been expecting, yea, some of us had longed for an attack from would- be-wiser classes. The expected did come. The Freshmen had selected something new in theline of class caps. We had picked a cream colored hat with a cardinal ,I4. The wise old Senior thought we should have followed the custom of getting a common cap. The meditative junior condemned our hat as being impracticable. While the jealous Sophomore pointed at us with derision, saying that the hat was akin to a night-cap. But, what is a class cap? ls it a Sunday-go-to-meeting cap? THE GREEKS A Is it a thing to be carried at all times? Or is it an ornament as some would make it? It is rather a customary headgear by which we may recognize one as a mem- ber of a certain class. Still we received many a compliment on our classy hat and we were not ashamed of the night-cap. Our boys have not led in every line of athletics, but in football they deserve mention. The football season of 1910 will long be remembered at St. Olaf. The science and speed displayed by the Freshmen eleven that fall would do credit to a college team. We were proud of our players and sought to give them all the sup- port possible. The following is one of our snappy yells: ' I7ig01'! Vim! Force! 1914! Yes, of course! We have a vigor! We have a Vim! We have the force Of Simhy Jim! 59 . J N. FX. XX xx 8' xg,- .

I Our time was not only given to class spirit. just to see the large number of Freshmen who studied Latin and Greek would convince anyone that there were scholars in our ranks. Even two of the fair members dared to tackle Greek. The active part taken in the inter-society debates showed that our class would some day turn out able college debaters and orators. A The Freshman year passed by too soon. Vlfhen our honorary members enter- tained us at a lawn supper the following spring, we realized how soon the Fresh- man days would be over. Registration, the next fall, revealed the sad fact that about thirty-five of the class could not return. Especially did we miss the many fair classmates. Later we were again grieved to learn that several Sophomores would soon cast their lot ' THE CLASS with the juniors. Shall we say that they were deserters. No, the hesitation and sorrow shown at the time of promotion clearly demonstrated that they gladly would have spent another two years with the class of 1914. But a few new re- cruits were added to our list. Again at the close of the school year we were pleasantly entertained at the home of our honorary members. We have had picnics, parties, and other gather- ings of that kind, but an afternoon spent with Dr. and Mrs. Flaten will surpass any of these. This, in brief, is a sketch of the first two years we spent at St. Olaf. We have met defeats and have had troubles to contend with, but these have made us strong- er. We have accomplished great things and these have inspired us on to grander achievements. Now we have entered Iuniority. Let us march on as we have set out, ever ready to do and dare for our class, for our fellow students, and above all for our dear Alma Mater. Then we will have the true college spirit. In the pur- suit of knowledge let us remember what Milton has said: But to know that which before us lies in daily life is the prime of wisdom. HALVOR lf-IUSETH, '14. 60 EITICIIH H.

Be- fore we realized, the heavens were all aglow. Old King Sol burst forth in all his royal victory, symbolic of great achievements for the Freshman class of nineteen eleven. On this day we came! Northfield never received within its precincts a better or more handsome set of young people, nor did St. Olaf College ever receive a more noble set of Freshmen-one hundred four strong! From early morning un- til late at night every trai11 brought new recruits from all parts of the United States and of every type and form of the Norwegian-American citizen. Some were tall, some were short, some fat, some lean, some dark, some light, with now and then a glowing red-head to light up the difficult path before us. We will admit that there were overwhelming odds against us. There was much to conquer, but victory lies in strength and in numbers. These were ours. It took time to get collected, but, on the whole, things worked rather wellg for, as you may know, birds of a feather will flock together. All of us were afflicted in the same way, having a special fondness for things fresh and green. This drew us like a magnetg consequently by the end of the first week we were fully organized as a class and ready for battle-battle against the overwhelming super- iority of the Seniors, the calm, slighting indifference of the juniors, and the sense- less ridicule of the silly Sophomores. Maybe you think it was easy to fall from the exalted 1495 'K ' X54-f 'iii' SY' . Treshnianl Words cannot describe the 41 , -,- '-X 'A . ' '- .Tun , , , , . .

Our class was large and must needs be kept together, for in union lies strength. A picnic in Norway Valley helped. It rained and rained much, but all the better for us. We adjourned to the gymnasium and had more fun and frolic than at any picnic out in the open. We possess a happy faculty of making the best of everything. It was pure delight to contemplate the respect and admiration of the upper classmen as they watched us from day to day. We held our own through thick and thin. For good behavior, all around sincereness and cleverness, the faculty, too, never saw our equal. To show their appreciation they gave us a grand re- ception on the college campus on the sixteenth of May. We enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and voted our faculty the best people on earth. Much wants moref, so the saying goes. We had had much fun and wanted more, and we had it on the Thirtieth of May. This time the fates were kinder. The picnic on the thirtieth was surely a picnic in the fullest sense of the word. Weather conditions were ideal and we found a beautiful spot on the river bank where we spread our feast. Night found us at home tired and as happy as birds. Our social doings were not many. Our work took up too much time. However, we are such a jolly class that our spirit is always up in tune and ,does not require much of merry-making. We came in as lambs and went out as roaring lions. All hail to our Alma Mater and to the class of nineteen fifteen! -CLEONORA TQLEVEN, 'I5. , 5 psig 4 , , . .W . ,. .,.. . , 3 '- '. nf' fti9Yi3m!T5? 2' will 2.11214-in' ire. ami- ea., .' l Theresa B.

It was adopted in january, IQII, by the students of the college department. The purpose of the system is to eliminate, if possible, all dishonest work in Written examinations. The organization, composing all the college students, is centered in the judidial Committee of seven, consisting of three members from the senior class, tivvo .1 members from the junior class, one member from the sophomore class, an anne , , , ' ' d 4.14 member from the freshman class. The duties of the committee, as provide the constitution, are to hear all complaints of the violation of the constitution, to conduct investigations thereof. After hearing all testimony, both by accus1 witnesses for the accused, and complaining witnesses, hearsay and oi ion evidence being excluded, it is the duty of the committee to exclude all otl from the room and ballot on the question of the accused being guilty or not gu: Five votes out of seven are necessary for a conviction. The penalty for violati if found guilty is expulsion. The system was developed from the Princeton other honor systems as a basis. Thus far it has Worked Well. It has served only to elevate the standard of honor at the college, but has also served to r the standard of scholarship. 106 .f N . 5,-T l Q'- fl el- if X ' ev 1 Q-1-if , f - xi.wKA -i Z -- 'l4f5- -fffiop , ' 57.6- ':'fE X- I f?h'L'f:'T:: -.'fK-' fi, 41.

While still and sweet in all their separate places, The other stars kept vigil clear and bright, Except one naughty one who grew unruly And danced and ran about with all his might. Then inother, though she secretly was laughing, Put on a frown and very sternly said: You'll soon get all the other stars just like you, And so I'll have to send you off to bed. The night went on-one little star got sleepy And fell frorn mf his place clear to the earth. Then all the little stars began a-crying, Until of starry tears there was a dearth.

The likeness was, however, not complete. Besides other things the pine trees were lacking. This was soon to be remedied. The founder of St. Olaf, the Rev. B. I. Muus, had already furnished the school with the evergreens planted on the north slope along the driveway, and now the Rev. I. M. Dahl donated the neces- sary funds for planting the Vale of Tawasentha with the same kind of trees. Thus the maple, the oak, and the elm had to give way to the favorite tree of the founder of St. Olaf. With the planting of evergreens in this little valley the character of the place was changed and to such as were born in the Land of the Mid-night Sun, it called forth memories of their native land. And so among the students the valley became known as Norwegian Valley, soon to be changed to Norway Valley. From early spring until late fall many of the sons and daughters of St. Olaf End their way down the winding, turfy paths that lead to this sequestered valley where stand the spruces and the hemlocks, the Cedars and the pines.

St. Olaf College Women's League M N the year 1909 Miss Agnes Melby, then precep- tress at S-t. Glaf College, conceived the idea of organizing the professors' wives and the lady members of the faculty into a society, the main purpose of which was to do something in a social way for the girls connected with the college, as well as to promote their special interests and welfare. At the present time the membership includes the resident Alumni, while a few honor- ary members have also been admitted. Miss Melby, who has always been vitally interested in the St. Olaf girls, was the first president and served in that capacity until other duties called her from her position at the college. During her able ad- ministration the society made a successful beginning, and it has continued to fur- ther its purpose up to the present time. Of the succeeding presidents, Mrs. Martin Hegland, nee Miss Dieson, also formerly preceptress, may be mentioned as having accomplished much for the society, not only in a social way, but also by interesting the members in raising funds for the new Mohn Hall. Considerable money was 120 .-.r -sf -fl-7 - ,- ,gs ,- .qgw-f ..-,211 T A aw.- :'f:a-a7QL ,..- J .- raised through the efforts of the league and we are very grateful to those who so generously responded to the many letters sent out by the ladies to the United Norwegian Lutheran Church congregations. Besides giving several receptions during the school year for the girls attend- ing St. Olaf College, the League has given a reception each year for the two grad- uating classes and all visitors during commencement week. This last mentioned function gives the members an opportunity to meet the friends of the institution, many of whom come here for the purpose of being present at the graduation of some relative or friend. The private meetings, besides conducting the necessary business, have been purely social. A change is being contemplated whereby the meetings will become more profitable to the members through regular programs of an educational value. This year the society has planned to give a course of lectures by prominent women for the benefit of the girls at college. In order to maintain an organization there must be some definite purpose to work for. The purpose of our League has been so indefinite at times that in- terest in the League has often wanedg then some new impetus has been instilled into the organization and new life has been given to it. But, nevertheless, the Women's League has nlled a long felt want at this institution. Through its medium the ladies of the faculty have been able to become better acquainted with the girls, giving them that necessary aid which only the friendship of a mature person can give. It is to be hoped that the League may continue its successful career and remain truly worthy of its founder. -MRs.N1Ls FLATEN. l 121 I ...

The sombre looking Senior gown hanging on the corner-rack was il- luminated by its rays, and produced a remarkably good silhouette effect, so that Bob Camden, its owner, sat in astonishment. There was but a few minutes until the supper bell would ring, and the Senior at the table scribbled, tore at his hair, cudgelled his brains, glanced at the gown, and then dashed off another half-dozen lines. The graduation essay bearing the non-assuming title: The Psychological Relation Between Human Character and Emotions, would be ready as soon as he could find a fitting sum- mary. It was a charming May day, and since it was also the mid-week recess, the Senior longed to be done with his work. They talk about poets being subject to inspirationf' he mused, but really I believe there is something of the kind in that gown. Every time I look at it, I imagine myself up on the platform at graduation, and that makes the words come little by little. Then he smiled at the recollection of the note he had found pinned to the sleeve of the gown the previous week. It had been written by Steve Harris, his Freshman room-mate, and read thus: For sale cheap after commencement. This magic garb. Try it on, mount your Pega- rus, and ascend to the zenith of wisdom and learning. Kleider machen Leutef' His line of thought was now broken, for the author of the said note at this very moment clattered into the room, noisily whistling, Nobody Knows How Dry I Am. He was mischief personified in the form of a youth, topped with an auburn-tinted pompadour, and beautified by a pair of balloon-shaped trousers cuffed at the ankles, and with glaring tan shoes. Any mail for me ?', inquired Camden as the Freshman threw himself down on the chair. just a little bit of a sealed note. Must be from one of the fellows up here, I guess. No stamp on, and it just says 'R. Camdenf Here you go, handing him the letter. Oh, he continued breathing painfully, and rattling on as the Senior read the note, I got my linger bunged up in practice to-day right after German. I signalled johnson for a wide out-curve, and got my pointer almost broke peg- ging for it. Got to be in shape for the Sophomore game, so I went to the gym to get some alcohol.

But my, have you heard what they are saying about the janitor! He's evaporated. They say he came home last night plumb loony.

Have you heard P Senior was by this time picking up stray papers, and piling up the reference books. He looked very secretive, and his answer was absent-minded: No, I haven't. Reckon he'll be back soon. Most likely nervous prostrationf' He then carefully inserted a bookmark in one of his most important reference works, and carefully laid this one apart. 'With a yawn and a stretch, he rose from the chair and left the room saying: Well, that essay will have to wait a while yet. live got to see Will Myers about something before supper. Harris looked thoughtfully after him. About something, eh P he solilo- quized. Wonder what he's up to ? He idly pulled out Camden's book-mark, and as he read his eyes widened and a delightful grin overspread his face. It was certainly a dead give-away! Bob had certainly looked suspicious, and he had ab- sent-mindedly used the tell-tale note for a book-mark! Be down at the boat livery at six-thirty, it said. We have rented canoes and fishing tackle. While we fish we'll have the grub hidden in Swallow Rock cave, in the chimney. When it gets dark Weill go in and have a rousing camp-fire class party. Don't let anybody but Seniors know a word about it.-Will. Simultaneously with the closing words of the note an idea occurred to Harris. Here was revenge for the April fool joke that the Seniors had played on the Freshmen! With a bound he was in front of the Senior gown and had it bundled up, with another bound he was out of the room, and was scuttling down the hall- way. At sundown, sixteen Senior boys were lazily paddling their canoes back and forth on the river, sweeping around the wide bends and caves that characterize this stretch on the Glass River. Some were trolling spoonhooks through the patches of water grass and pond-lilies, but the greater number contented them- selves with the mere exhilaration of rowing. But very few bass were floundering in the boats, the reason for which all agreed was that the college songs sung were rendered in such a manner as to frighten the fish completely away. The hours stole away, however, and darkness came on. The time was come for the jolly campfire, the supper, the stories, the songs, and jokes. Every one felt the novelty of the occasion and enjoyed thinking of spending an evening in the wild, charming place, with the dancing flames lighting up the cavern walls and the wind roaring through the giant oaks and willows in the mysterious darkness out- side. Like a minature Armada the cavalcade of canoes glided up the stream, en- tered a narrow lagoon, and finally drew up on a gravelly bar in front of a high perpendicular cliff. There was the cave just ahead of them, yawning darkly at them from across the greensward. It was indeed a weird place at night. Bats and owls Hitted about their heads, stumps and rocks assumed shapes like crawling midnight desperadoes or savage beasts, while nocturnal animals and reptiles rus- 123 L I il- 'r-'-: 4' 'E-1 P if f fi' 1 .. if: R xx -' 4 Mfsksal--.-gQT-A -,..,g n ,, - ff'-N' Qs., QQ?

Long black robe! Horrible phantom! Now it speaks: Ugh, heap big chief me. Great college Senior. Me got great magic cloak. Say, got more sandwiches, fellows? Where tomahawk ? This proved too much for the Seniors. Run for your lives, boys! It's that dippy janitor! yelled Bob Camden. That the panic stricken youths had enough presence of mind to take to the canoes is to be wondered at. Never was a flight made more abruptly and on the spur of the moment. Paddles barely escaped breaking, and a second Titanic catastrophe was narrowly averted. Half an hour later the liveryman was surprised at the early return of the party. Already put in an evening of it, boys P Yep, chattered the dignined ones. Bob Camden went to bed that evening in an excited frame of mind. Seeing Harris already slumbering peacefully, he decided not to disturb him. When he arose the next morning the room-mate was already down for breakfast. Grac- ious, said the Senior, starting as he discovered the disappearance of the gown. Then his jaw dropped. f'Didn't that thing say something about a magic cloak, too? Curious coincidence? He donned his hat, and the next minute he was tearing along the crosspath to the river at a pace that suggested a mile dash. Looks like a fake contraption, believe me, he hissed. When Harris entered his room immediately after dinner, and for the first time that day, he found Camden waiting for him. You fellows certainly have gone to a lot of trouble to get some refreshments, said the Senior coldly. Where was that gown this morning? Who said something about a magic cloak last night? Guess that's a give-away, eh? What sort of mummery did you have rigged up for our benefit last night anyhow? Pu, screamed Harris writhing in convulsions of laughter. It's too good for anything.

Lykken Bedre End Forstanden NDREW JACKSON OLSON hette han. Men den sidste del av navnet blev snart sloifet og glemt. I-Ivorfor han blev opkaldt efter helten fra New Orleans, vites ikke, men det kan taenkes at hans far var en beundrer av den store jackson, og onsket at vise ham aere ved at opkalde sonnen after ham. Andrew, stakkar, slegtet ikke stort paa sin beromte navnefar-han var ikke rigtig ved de fulde fem. Og hvad i hjaelper det at ha et gildt navn naar det mangler paa vet? I nogen henseender kunde det dog siges at Andrew lignet Old Hickory. I-Ian besat nemlig i hoi grad dennes krigerske aand, fysiske mot, og fastholden ved principer. Intet kunde skraemme ham, og naar han iik en ide ind i hodet sit, sat den som den var spikret. Ogsaa hvad personlig utseende angik, var der nogen likhet. I-Ian ver lang og tynd, og forte sig med en stiv militaer holdningg hans glatklippede hode var skaeftet paa en svaer kalkunhalsg det lange ansigt var brunbarket og markert, og naesen klovde luften med et huggg men der var noget stivt og slovt ved oinene, og mundvikene var slappe. En lang, falmet frak hang og slang om hans ben, og en gammel stiv-hat, som efter utseendet at domme hadde set mange og haarde dage, var klemt ned over orene hans. I 125 if s-1 ,. rw, I4 Amt. x.

Han blev, som let kan taenkes, gjenstand for mangen spijk og vittighet, som ofte kunde bli raa og hen- synsltise. Men Andrew f6lte sig altid ovenpaa. Han skjiijnte nok at de priivde at holde ham for nar-sommetider ialfald 5 men da forregnet de sig nok. Han var kar for sin hat, han, maa vite. Han var meget godtroende, og hadde store tanker om sine egne evner. Spilopmakerne benyttet sig av denne omstaendighet, og mangt og meget kunde fortaelles om de puds de spillet ham. Vi vil kun fa-:ste os ved det som ledet op til hans stijrste bedrift. Det lyktes dem at indbilde ham at han var blit valgt til city marshal, og at det var hans pligt at holde orden i byen. ja det var ikke for tidlig om de for en gangs skuld fik sig en skikkelig marshall i byen, slik lovl6shet og leven som der var, mente Andrew. Men nu skulde der bli andet stel, saafremt der fandtes lov og ret i landet. Han skjijv hatten bak paa nakken, og som en vaerdig haandhaever av loven begyndte han sin runde omkring i byen. Og gutterne s6rget for at han lik nok at bestille. Han var altid paa farten, og altid var der noget som maatte sees efter i siimmene. Snart var der en ustyrlig gutteflok som maatte jages ut av en restaurantg snart var der et slagsmaal som maatte stanses. Vistnok lyktes det ham ikke ofte at arrestere nogeng ti det var bekjendt at han kunde vaere haard- haendt ved anledning, og urostifterne fandt det klokest at holde sig borte fra hans klijr. Men hvor stolt blev han ikke ved at se dem springe! Sandelig smurte de haser naar han var efter dem! Det var rigtig gildt at se hvilken respekt de hadde for loven. Saa kom den begivenhet som satte kronen paa Andrews virke som lovens haandhaever. Det var en vakker vaarkveld. En flok lystig ungdom sat i Knut- sons Kate i livlig samtale. Et fraekt r6veri var blit begaat i nabobyen, Mondovi, natten iforveien, og det var dette som blev diskutert. jackson sat borte i en krok og holdt et vaakent 6ie med gutteflokken. Han spidset 6ren. Var det ikke r6veri de talte om? Jo virkelig. Dette maatte undersijkes. Han naermet sig og forlangte med en myndig mine: What are you up to now, boys ? Han brukte altid en- gelsk naar han optraadte som lovens mand. ' Gutterne saa paa hverandre og blinket listig. Saa tok en av dem ordet og fortalte om r6veriet. Og hvem vet, sluttet han, kan haende vor bank staar for tur inat. De karene vet nok at vi ingen vaktmand har om natten. Men vi kan dog ikke vente at du skulde arbeide baade dag og nat. Never mind, I'1l take care of that, svarte jackson. just let 'em come! Han skulde nok passe banken, han. Kunde han bare faa fat i en bijsse, saa -Gutterne var straks rede til at hjaelpe ham. De fandt frem en gammel muske- dunder fra horgerkrigens dage, og gjorde den ufarlig ved at stoppe en plug i faenghullet. Med b6ssen paa akslen marsjerte Andrew avsted til sin post. Gutterne gottet sig over den kostelige spek, og undret sig hvor laenge han vilde holde ut. 126 5f' Q? asf f - ---lc: ,L -qi. -- f .c','S?-4-NT ? f- Q 1 r--,--f- QL . U 'Q' '45 -45.-V - Y--4,3-,Q -Y..

Men det faldt ham ikke ind at forlate sin post. Det vilde jo vaere baade spot og skam. Nei, han skulde vise dem, han. Midnat kom og gikg en hane gol i naerheten, saa en anden. Endnuy hadde Jackson ikke set eller hort noget mistaenkelig. Montro roverne ikke vilde komme? Det kunde jo vaere at de hadde hort at han var city marshal, og i saa fald var det meget tvilsomt om de vovet at komme for naer. 'fVery likely, mumlet han ved sig selv. Men det var da for galt! Som han sat og spekulerte paa dette, blev han pludselig lutter ore. Han horte skridt i det fjerne. De naermet sig, og en mork skikkelse kom tilsyne i maaneskinnet. Io sandelig-nu kom roveren. Han bar en vadsaek i haanden. Den var nat- urligvis fuld av verktoi og dynamit, den, taenkte Andrew. Med sin vaeldige musket i beredskap stillet han sig ved et hjorne og ventet paa den fremmede. Et tornende stop! 16d gjennem stilheten, og Andrew sprat frem. Manden vek uvilkaarlig et par skridt tilbake, og stod et oiebliksom, lamslaat. Derpaa snudde han braat om og tok tilbens opefter gaten. Men i skyndingen snublet han og faldt naesegrus til jorden, og forend han kunde reise sig, var Andrew i nakken paa ham. Han rystet sin fange som en rotte, paa samme tid som han utstodte de graesseligste trusler om at skyte ham sonder og sammen dersom han ikke forholdt sig rolig. Den fremmede gjorde forst heftig motstand, men blev pludselig liggende stille, gispende efter veiret. Han hadde gjenkjendt Andrew, og visste at han var i en desperat mands vold. Kunde han komme ut av denne knipe, maatte det bli med det gode. Med et forsok paa at gjenvinde sin fatning utbrot han: Nei er det du da, Andrew? Uf, hvor du skraemte mig! Men hvad bestiller du her midt paa svarte natten, da ? 1 N one of that! svarte Andrew, idet han tok et fastere tak i mandens nakke. Get up, and be mighty careful! You are pretty foxy all right, but you are in the hands of the law now. Bevares, hvad er dette for en spok ? spurgte den anden, med ilde dulgt :eng- stelse. Kjender du' mig ikke, kanske? Iovist kjender du Nels Hovland, vel? Bort med den faele bossen-den gjor mig ne1'v6s! Men Andrew horte ikke paa det ore. Han hadde nu engang faat ind i hodet sit at han hadde fanget en rover, og dermed blev det. Hans fange forklarte at han skulde paa reise, og maatte skynde sig dersom han skulde naa morgentoget. Men det var alt forgjaevesg han nk pent folge med Jackson. Han haapet at und- komme ved at passe sit snitg men Jacksons aarvaakenhet stod ikke tilbake for den store generals. Tidlig naeste morgen blev der et svare opstuds i byen. Nyheten om at Andrew hadde fakket en rover gik som en lopeild, og en stor skare samlet sig utenfor fredsdommerens hus. Andrew hadde nemlig bragt sin fange dit forat han kunde forhores. 127 S 1 f-' ,L I ,1- .a.,-,5 Z. is 'H 'D ,D-Q Q ' N .1 X- ,1 .. HT,- SL ,J 4 N.- Rf 'Sf- -S--f?i?

Hovland forklarte hurtig hvorledes det hang sammen. Han var, som ventelig kunde vaere, meget ophidset og opbragt 5 det var maate paa spok ogsaa, mente han. Han hadde hastverk og maatte skynde sig. Dommeren beklaget det forefaldne. Derpaa bod han Andrew gi Hovland sin vadsaek og la ham gaa. , jackson stod med vadsaekken i haanden, men gjorde ikke mine til at adlyde. Den var fuld av dynamit, sa han g en eller anden slags helvedesmaskine var der i den, det var sikkert. Han forsokte at aapne deng men den var laast. Men An- drew visste raad, hang og for nogen kunde hindre ham, hadde kan skaaret en lang Hxnge i saekken. Hovland blev blek og urolig, og forsokte at gripe den 5 men Andrew stotte ham bort. Dommeren kiket nysgjerrig gjennem aapningen i seek- ken. Men du store verden! hvad var dette? Den var fuld av pengesedler! Med et sporgende blik vendte han sig til Hovland for at forlange forklaring. I det samme blev der banker heftig paa doren. Den gik op,og to konstabler kom ind. Der har vi ham, sa den ene. Nels Hovland, du er vor fangef, I-lvad skal dette betyde? I-lvad vil de mig? gispet Hovland og saa sig hjaelpelost omkring. De er anklaget for roveriet i Mondovi, og faar vaere saa god at folge med os tilbake. Saa sandelig-der har vi jo hele pengesaekken, ogsaa! Andrew jackson blev dagens helt. Han blev interviewert og fotografert, og hans bedrift pristes i hoie toner i bladene. Han fik en rikelig belonning for roverens paagripelse, og folte at han var kommet paa den gronne kvist i verden. Den som vilde gjmlde for en Hgentlemanl' i Andrews oine efter den tid, tiltalte ham helst som Mr jackson. Andrew spekulerte lmnge paa at gaa ut pas. en fore- dragsturg det vilde vaere en god ting for lander at hore om hans bedrift. Hvis han tok sit traekspil med, kunde han tjene penge som sand, det var sikkert. Men folk kunde laese om ham i aviserne, ogsaa 5 og hvem skulde vel holde orden i byen hvis han reiste vaek? Nei, det var vistnok hans pligt at vaere der han var. Han kunde ikke la byen gaa rent i hundene heller. -M. A. MIDTHUN, '13. 128 .f 'Sf f'-sf k,-... C: Y qi.-x.

This is an age of advancement-a per- iod when almost everyone is working for the promotion of some good cause, and in line with this we note the enthusiasm over civic improvement in our cities. Last spring the students of St. Olaf College also caught the if fl spirit. When these Viking descendants plan 7' fs'-1 lii i elt ls .... it asa iel? t . 1 '.-f'-f. gl' ii.. -1 a thing they generally push it through, and Their idea was to obtain permission to have a Campus Day, a general clean-up day of the Campus. The faculty granted it with pleasure, because they were quite as interested in having the Campus appear well as the students. Due to the fact that Mohn Hall had just been completed, there naturally was a great deal to be done around that particular building. There were also various other matters to be attended to about the Campus. .Although a special care has always been taken to keep Manitou clean and neat in every respect, spring is bound to bring with it more or less rubbish. The day proved to be a great success from beginning to end. Early in the morning the Campus was alive with boys and girls who were fitted out with var- ious sorts of implements, prepared to put in a day of physical work. It was amusing to see the boys with their red handkerchiefs and queer looking working clothes which had been gathered up wherever a piece could be found. It would seem that they must have ransacked every attic in town to obtain such a collection of old clothes. And work they did with a zeal which revealed the true interest which they had in their college. Being unused to that kind of work, some naturally became a little tired, but they did not give up. They worked with en- thusiasm all forenoon, raking the lawn, digging dandelions, felling trees, and cleaning up the entire campus. At noon a two hours' rest was given, after which the work was continued as energetically as in the forenoon, the boys doing the harder part, while the girls put the linishing touches to the raking and other light Work. Later on, when work became more scarce, the time was spent taking pic- tures and preparing for a picnic supper-the girls spreading 3,ooo sandwiches for the affair. At six o'clock supper was announced, and each one was given a chance to help himself. They then sat down and enjoyed a jolly out-of-door supper, after make a success of the undertaking. 129 i VJ ' Lp-i',.T3' .T -:rj-, ':,.,i R mr-'-en 4' 2- pf' 2, 2 2-ft rw 1 2 X Nik 1 Q.

At 9 :go the festivities ceased and, although there were many tired and aching limbs that night, everyone felt that never before had St. Olaf seemed so good to them. A Our first Campus Day was a success. It proved to be a day when the con- genial side of every student predominated. It proved to further that spirit of good-fellowship which we find today among the students. It awakened the per- sonal interest, of every student, in the appearance of the campus. It awakened and stimulated their love for the school-a love intensely real on account of the opportunity afforded to do something for her. It bound our very large fainiljs of students together with links of intimacy and friendship. Thus, our first Campus Day must be recorded as a day of achievement, and of good-fellowship. -IDA SHIRLEY, '1 5, The Qld Hall N Manitou Heights, shaded by tall elms and surrounded by buildings of later date, stands the Old Hall. A casual visitor on the hill would notice its settled look of age and its plain exterior, and would perhaps pass on with the remark: Just an old building left stand- ing from past times. But if our visitor had any sentiment, and with it an imagination, he would probably say: What a fine old landmark! What an evidence of the prosperity and advancement of this college since its founding. How many faces and phases this building must have seen since it was built. And this conjecture would be true, for what is only the Old Hall now, was once the main-and only-building of St. Olaf's School, as it was then called. The Old Hall has, however, even an earlier chapter in its life history. It was erected in 1868 by the city of Northfield as a public school building, and was lo- cated on the present site of the Congregational Church. Many of the worthy cit- izens of Northfield received their early training there. In 1874 the building was purchased by the St. Olaf Board of Trustees, and was soon afterwards dedicated by Rev. B. sl. Muus, as the St. Olaf's School. This was, perhaps, the most important event in the history of our Hall. At the begin- ning there was an attendance of only 38 students, but the number steadily increas- ed, as did also the number of teachers. H 130 ' Q-if .. .--- -- z. -qc.-v -ati? -: - ...,. L,-.11-F ,fs - ,Q - .. -: -,J v AM 5s-fi -J L,- These were busy days for the Hall. Its largest room was used by the St. john's congregation as a place of worship, besides being a chapel and classroom for the students. Its upper rooms were occupied by the principal and the boys attending. In 1878 the present Main building of St. Olaf College was erected on Mani- tou Heights, and the Old Main was removed from its old site to the new upon the hill. It was re-erected near the Main, and a year later, on St. Olaf's Founda- tion Day, the sixth of November, it was dedicated to the use of the girls of St. Olaf, as their home, and since then it has been called the Ladies, Hall. In IQOO a porch was added to the building, which greatly improved its appearance. Later, modern heating and lighting were installed, otherwise it has remained unchanged. Many are the happy days spent by the daughters of St. Olaf in the Old Hall. Her family is ever changing, year after year, but the Old Hall has served them all faithfully, and has dealt out her pleasant times with an impartial hand. Perhaps it was appreciated most in those days of smoky stoves, unpainted floors, and cheerless walls, for the building was more secluded, and the pleasure, to each girl, of being one of the happy family there, far outweighed the small inconveniences. But the life at the Old Hall lost much of its cheerfulness as time went on. As the number of students increased, it became necessary to build a large boys' dormitory, and the girls became dissatisfied with their old home. They, too, want- ed a modern building with comfortable rooms. For years they worked and urged, and finally a large new home, the Mohn Hall, was built for them. This was, in- deed, a splendid addition to the campus and was much needed to accommodate at least a few of the large number of girls now enrolled. The Old Hall, which has served so faithfully for years, has been quite for- gotten by many since the advent of the new, but those who have lived within her walls look back with tenderness on the old days, and think of the friends they lived with there in the closer intimacy and comradeship which a smaller number affords, and they cannot but regret that those days can never return. School days are considered the happiest days of life, and, let us add that Hall days are not the least among these. Memory is kind, for she has a way of smoothing over the rough places in the course of our past life, and bringnig forth only the sunlit parts. Thus with the Old Hall. The walls creak and groan on frosty nights, the doors and the windows, with their panes of old greenish, faulty glass, shake and rattle in the wind until the poor midnight student is convinced that Poe's Raven', is surely coming to make a personal visit. But we think only of the cheery times in our rooms, or in the large attic, when on rainy nights we assembled there, and made the old brown rafters ring with our merrimentg we think of the happy, care-free life that we, and others before us, have led there, and we love and reverence the Old Hall for her kindness to every member of her large family. if 131 1 -ree 4' i- X ff 2 -Z ff fi i V., it x.. xx, 'xmfg ,.,..

Respect and honor is due to the Old Hall for her many years of service, and because St. Olaf College, our beloved Alma Mater, found her beginning within those walls. Let us hope that the Old Hall will remain unchanged as a landmark for the coming St. Olaf to be proud of, and as a monument of the growth and prosperity of our college. THORA GR6NvoLD, '14. The Evolution of An Idea OLUTION has become a popular word in this generation, and as plants and animals have evolved throughout the cen- turies, so have all great enterprises evolved from some idea which germinated in the mind of some man or woman. St. Olaf College evolved from such an idea in the mind of the Rev. Muus and its evolution has been sure and steady. ge, -i 4-ee: When St. Olaf ,was started the corporation bought some T if-.- J 1 -all 'old buildings, one being an old schoolhouse. The college be- ing later moved to Manitou Heights and the new Main built, . this old schoolhouse was converted into a home for the few ladies who then attended the school. Thus came about the first step in the evolu- tion of this idea, that St. Olaf, being a college for girls as well as for boys, should have a home for them. As the years went on St. Olaf was blessed and prospered, more girls and boys came, and ideas became realized in the shape of library, boys' dormitory and chapel. The only idea which languished was that of a girls' home. For a long time it was undecided whether or not the girls should be kept at the institution, but that being finally decided in the affirmative and the number of girls steadily increasing, and adequate dormitory was looked forward to as an immediate cer- tainty. The lack of money at the time was soon followed by lack of interest, and so the years drifted on and nothing was done. It was not until 1906 that the church, finally heeding complaints from all quarters, took up the matter at its an- nual meeting. Urgent as was the need it took a long time to decide and the old bone of contention, namely, co-education, was brought up the second time. jus- tice, however, gained the upper hand. It was decided to build, plans were soon .211 ii' lie .. gl-LT E 2 i-T-Q:-:-f'T4 i ii ' 7 W .H. . 132 -.f 'Sf 4A,f ., ,.. 4:,:- Q:T:.'-Q--5-f:,i..,L.

It would be hard to describe the joy of the many girls who held St. Qlaf dear, girls who rather than attend the state schools or the schools of other denominations had endured all kinds of hard- ships at St. Olaf. Their joy was short-lived, however, for like the frost which blights the hope of the growing grain came the discussion in the Lutheraneren of that well worn subject, co-education. It would seem that a discussion on a sub- ject so well threshed out would gain but little recognition, but the pocket book is ever looking for an excuse to draw its strings tight and the hope of a new hall died. THE OLD HALL OVERCROWDED St. Claf had outgrown its youth and the days of the small college, and was fast coming to its own, to the Greater St. Olaf. Everything was thriving but the new hall. Patience of women will also have an end and in the winter of IQII the girls decided to do something. The first thing to do was to talk the matter up and indeed the time must have been ripe for the idea took root again and grew wonderfully. Almost simultaneously the work was taken up by able men in the church and soon the idea was fairly bristling with life. In order to show that they could do more than talk, the girls decided upon a Tag Day, the 17th of May, requesting at the same time the various Young Peoples' Societies throughout the church to do the same. What fun it was getting ready for the big day! Songs 133 tri' 1 'NA X f EJ 'X ,wily n fiscfr-.'Z J 3, M .L 'L'-'Ric' .D- if ,.f 'E xx X R T' xma- Q,,,N , fer , .Ag - 5-A, BT aff?-1'..-Sa-:EFTX-M,:.,5'i:-p -fn 'gT '-S ssl M- - -A A + efhmy 45 xp-4 Z 'XA-5.x E2 al? were written and learned, and the intricacies of the old Norwegian drill V2eve vadmel were mastered. Fate smiled upon them and gave them a perfect May day. The May morning breakfast heralded in the success which the selling of tags brought as the day wore on. In quick succession the winning of the Luther game, the rendering of the drill under the trees, and the band concert passed by and when Manitou Heights had again reposed itself for rest, a prayer of thanks went up from the hearts of the girls. For the first Girls' Day at St. Olaf had been a triumphant success. THE FIRST SHOVEL FULL After one has been keyed up to a high tension and has been assured of suc- cess it is hard to settle back and await results. The trustees had decided to build and the new plans were completedg still, there was no sign of work upon the hill. The girls who were to be Seniors the coming year were especially anxious to have it started that they might enjoy a few months of its shelter. Finally one day after chapel exercises the student body had a small holiday to witness the taking of the first shovel full by Miss Dieson, the preceptress. It was a joyful yet a solemn occasiong for the idea which for so long had languished had at last taken the nrst step in its actual realization. The work once started went on with bounds and leaps and by commencement 134 Q1 ,J , ,asf W, cr, A.:---,4-i,.., ,...,..-N .. - ,. w-,...,- ,-ef: - ...e if . H.. ,W -J 1,19 W 4 it had progressed so far that the cornerstone could be laid. This was done by the Rev. Dr. Dahl, president of our Synod. When the girls returned in the fall the building was well under way and they were assured that the building would be ready for occupancy by Ian I, 1912. Unforeseen hindrances made this seem doubtful, however, and when school again convened after the Christmas holidays it was yet far from ready. February I2 was at last set for moving-in day, and if every subscriber to the fund could have seen the joyful procession that wound its way from St. Olaf Avenue and other points below the hill on that day, they LAYING OF THE CORNERSTONE would certainly have felt that they had aided in a good cause. The joy of moving in soon gave way to that of converting it into a truly beautiful home. As funds were needed for rugs, draperies, and the like, a house warming was decided upon and on the first Saturday after Easter vacation the hall ,was thrown open to vis- itors. The souvenir booth, candy booth, and refreshment room lured the visitors to the basement while willing guides stood everywhere ready to conduct them - 415, -neva .ffll , .P x-53 N X! .1 .H -1 - -A KL .Ee 5 N 1 . - -v- f Z' ,A .

The final realization of this idea came on November 6, when our home was dedicated by the Rev. Dr. Dahl in the presence of the numerous friends who had come to wish St. Olaf College many happy returns. At the head of Norway Val- ley stands our new home, a truly litting tribute to our first president, Prof. Thor- bjorn N. Mohn. Whose heart does not thrill at the mere mention of that magic little word-home? What is dearer to our hearts, or what of earthly pleasure do we value higher? We find nothing more noble in the college girls of to-day than their home loving instincts. They are the home-makers of to-morrow and if they THE INHABITANTS OF MOHN HALL ' are to be fitted for that larger and nobler sphere of life where every true woman hopes at some time to enter in, these instincts must be sacredly guarded, and not that alone, they must be cultivated and broadened. Only a home can perform this trust, a truly beautiful home, one with possibilities for the young and activeemind. Such a home is Mohn Hall. We waited long, but it was worth the waiting, and every St. Olaf girl is unanimous in expressing her gratitude and appreciation to the United Norwegian Lutheran Church. May it never have occasion to regret what it has done for the daughters of St. Olaf College, and may all who find a home within its walls be inspired to go out into the world upholding the standards of noble Christian womanhood. -RUTH STORLI, 'I3. 137 ' f xxCf,--Aj if in Q 5 g 'I 3-4' ,.

The Need of a New Gymnasium '25 5 if r f TUDY the past and you will ind that its wisdom suggests physi- cal training as an essential part of good education. Notice how the Greeks practiced their games and how they delighted in them. 1 7' Note to what extent they carried on their sports and how wonder- fully proiicient they became. Their wise men declared that one- third of a youth's education should consist of physical training. f The Greeks were a highly intellectual people, and yet, see what an exalted opinion they had of physical training. Notice, further, l how the Romans chronicled their games and sports. And the Ro- mans were a strong and sturdy race. In the accounts of Medieval times and in novels picturing the life in those times, we read of tournaments and contests which show how the people admired feats of manly strength and courage. In America, organized athletics are of a rather recent date. Ninety years ago there was not a college gymnasium to be found in the land. A trained physical director was unknown. To-day there is perhaps no college without a gymnasium of some kind. Physical directors are being trained to be experts in their work. The idea is growing among the people that physical training is absolutely neces- sary in the proper development of the youth. And as people become economically better situated, they act upon this idea and provide for this branch of education. And yet physical culture has not gained that hold upon the popular imagination nor the influence upon the judgment and activities of our school men which the importance of the subject unquestionably merits and ought to have. The aim of education is, as someone has said, the evolution of man. In this civilization of ours, there is a widespread division of labor. One man does this work exclusively and another that. People have a tendency to divide into classes, and the athlete will look down upon the scholar and vice versa. Therefore, we must look after both the physical and the mental. Let the youth be trained both physically and mentally so that when they get into actual life, they are stuck at nothing. We do not desire a one-sided development in which thought is sacrificed to muscle or muscle to thought. A rational man would neither advocate nor ustly admire such a course. We do not want an empty-headed athlete who is nothing but a mass of well developed flesh, nor do we like the physically disabled scholar who hates the idea of going out for a walk because he must leave his beloved book for a moment. These are not the types of citizen we admire. Physical culture takes a much wider scope than to win a place on the college team and far out-runs the strife and the victories of the college campus. These are only some of the little things that help us in gaining the goal, namely., a well 139 'ii ., ,EN rx N. Xf- - .,3..f-f NPV, -X .Xl .-, D7-+,. ..

Physical training is systematic exercise conducted under the guidance of an expert for the purpose of making us physically lit, lit for sport, fit for study, ht for business, in short, fit for any of the manifold activities of a cit- izen and a man. Physical training means more than an entrance into college sports. It has as its immediate objects the correction of physical defects and the making of physical excellencies. But in this branch of education, as well as in other branches, there is a great deal of tedious drill work under strict discipline and, therefore, it needs the physical and mental stimuli which games and sports provide. Many suffer from bodily defect and weakness. Flat chests, hollow backs, poor digestion, sallow complexion-all these things must be remedied. The cramp- ed position in school, protracted study and confinement, .must be counteracted. Lung expansion, good circulation and digestion, well nourished nerve cells, are things of moment not only to the health of the body but to the efficiency of the mind. Well regulated exercise aids in these things and, since this is so, is it un- reasonable to say that a student can do better work under these conditions? Youth is also our promotion period. Then we are to develop strong bodies as well as strong minds. And in youth only can physical training produce the best and most lasting results. The need of a new gymnasium at S-t. Olaf College is alcrying one. Our ath- letic teams are handicapped by lack of apparatus to work with and for practice room. Thus we lose prestige among the other colleges and among the people. Many a promising youth, who really belongs at' St. Olaf College, is passing her by for the simple reason that she is found wanting in the department of physical cul- ture. And who can blame this youth g for the love of athletic sports and contests is strong in the normal youngster. But further, the existing gymnasium cannot commence to accommodate even our young men to say nothing of the young ladies. Room and equipments fall far short. Many lose interest for the reason that, under such overcrowded conditions, much benefit cannot be derived. In view of all these things a campaign has been started for the purpose of raising funds for the erection of a gymnasium. This is a big undertaking and, to be successful, every man and woman connected with St. Olaf College must lend a helping hand. Remember the fact that the body is the vehicle of the mind and that it is our duty to make education what it ought to be, namely, an all-around, evenly balanced mental and physical development. St. Olaf College is not a dead thing, a meaningless name. She is a living, breathing power that moves among our people, strengthening them and broadening their visiong and this power is exactly what we make it. We can help St. Olaf College bring forth stronger and better meng and strong and better men will help make a strong and better world. Come, then, every loyal St. Olaf man and woman, put you-r shoulder to the wheel and help our school to be what it is ultimately destined to become-the thorough, the ideal College. -THEODORE SLETTE, '13. 140 .f -57 ff . al? j iilfn' ' -aff - .-.QSA --:a.--- I QAEQXL The Ladies' Hall Elm Stately and tall it stands, A veteran guard on the hill-crest, Bearing- the marks of time Yet showing a spirit unbroken: Keeping a silent watch O'er the paths converging beneath it.

St. Olaf Concert Band Tour 0f1911-12 At the early hour of 5 :oo a. m. on the 30th of December, IQI 1, the band boys were awakened from their peaceful slumbers. This was the beginning hour of the seventh annual band tour. Through the kind efforts of our friend, Mr. Stor- holt, a splendid breakfast was served before beginning our journey. After L. Larson, the faithful teamster, had taken care of all the heavy baggage, the boys picked their way to the Rock Tsland depot. At 6 :go we boarded the train for St. Paul. We had not gotten any further than Farmington, however, before we were delayed by a wreck. Out came a few kodaks, and those who dared to brave the weather, strolled in wilderness until the tracks were cleared. Having reached St. Paul shortly before noon, we were too late for our scheduled train to Menomonie, HHH so we were told to go to the St. Paul Y. M. C. A. building with our instruments. This of course meant a rehearsal immediately after dinner, in which we tried to put some polish on Die Walkure. The rehearsal over, we played two marches in the lobby of the building. Our manager then announced that we meet at the Union depot at 5 :3o. To pass the remaining time the boys scattered over the city, seeing things, hearing things, and buying things, VVe reached Menomonie at 8:15 and proceeded directly to the opera house, where we found a packed house waiting. After the concert we were dished out, that is to say, our names were called, and our Menomonie friends took us to their homes. We have been so fortunate on our trips as to be invited to the homes of our friends. This makes the trips all the more pleasant, and we are always grate- ful to our friends who thus receive us. 146 The following morning, being Sunday, we left Menomonie at 9 :5O. We got N. 'xi' t X !

The boys were ushered out from the special to have a picture taken. Some even dared to pose on a cold engine. Finally something came along which took us to Eau Claire, but we came to Eau Claire too late to get to our next town, Stanley. We were met at the depot by Mr. Bruden who made it possible for us to get to Stanley. We journeyed over to the S-oo depot, left our baggage there, and went on a hunt for some lunch. About two o'clock a special train had been put to- gether by the Soo management, and we soon rolled on. On arriving at Stanley, we were taken to the Lutheran church and Prof. Christiansen found it necessary to push a little more of Die Walkiireu into our musical domes. This being a Sunday there was no concert scheduled. In the evening we gathered at the church and a splendid reception was given us by the young people of Rothnemls con- gregation. The next day, being New Year's Day, we gathered at the church in the morn- ing. The afternoon was spent in visiting, and in the evening we played our reg- ular concert to a full house. At noon on the 2nd we left Stanley for Eau Claire. This was indeed the ban- ner town of our trip. Rev. I-I. M. Thompson, popularly known as Tommy, al- ways a friend of the Oles, was there to receive us. The time was spent in re- hearsing and seeing the city. We played to a large and splendid audience that evening. Our concert was a success and we wanted it so. After the concert, the young people of Thompsonfs congregation gathered us to a splendid reception. The band has been in Eau Claire on several occasions, and we have always had a good time, but this visit greatly overshadows all former events. Rev. Thompson and his young people had worked hard to make our visit a success, and to say that they succeeded would be stating it mildly. We shall always remember Eau Claire. The next day found us leaving Eau Claire at 10:30 a. m. We stopped long enough at Spooner to secure dinner. At about 3:oo p. m. we arrived at Rice Lake where we were to play that evening. Enoch Nord, a former St. Qlaf stud- ent, met us at the depot. Through the efforts of Mr. Nord, our stay at Rice Lake was made pleasant, and judging from the financial outcome, no efforts had been spared to make our concert a success. Cn the following day we moved to Duluth, the great port of Lake Superior. In the evening, before the concert, we were gathered in the social rooms of Rev. Nervig's church, where a bountiful reception was tendered us. The thermometer, registering degrees which I dare not mention, kept the people close to their fire- sides that evening, but a fair sized crowd gathered to hear our music. On -Ian. 5th, the last day of our tour, we expected to see considerable of Duluth, but the thermometer had crawled still lower, and we were content to sit indoors.

After the matinee we went to Rev. Lockrem's church where we partook of a splendid supper. In the evening we played our last regu- lar concert to a small but appreciative audience. Prof. Schmidt had managed to get a sleeper for us and so we made our way to the N. P. depot and awaited the midnight train for Minneapolis. Can you im- agine forty-four young men packed into a twelve-section sleeper? If not, you have missed a good roast. Some of the boys kept themselves in the smoking com- partments, others were eating lunches, while one received a cool shower bath. Sufficient it is to say that we had a good time, although we secured little or no sleep, and the next morning found us safe and sound in Northfield, ready to cram for the coming examinations. The St. Olaf Concert Band has now entered upon its twenty-third year. Dur- ing the last seven years the band has traveled over considerable territory. In the summer of 1906 it went to Norway. In our own country the trips have extended from coast to coast, between the points of Seattle, Wash., and New York City. When a boy at college is capable of entering the band, little does he realize what an education there is in store for him. Not only does he receive a good mu- sical education,-but the experiences he receives in traveling with the band boys, and all the country which he may see, also means considerable education. To have the opportunity under a director such as Prof. Christiansen means much more than the college man fully realizes. Prof. F. Melius Christiansen is indeed an inspiring leader. His baton is like the magic wand. Every expression of his face teaches you something, and it is a poor observer who does not learn some musical interpretation under his direction. It is no easy task to maintain a band of high standard where good men are graduated from year to year, and new men put in their places. Prof. Christiansen has not only been able to maintain a good band, but each year Ends the band better than ever. The band does not play rag-timel' music. Such a thing is not tolerated. Only the standard composers are studied. Ours is the ideal band, and as is said, the ideal band is like the pipe organ in which there are many parts, diverse in nature and in purpose, but all necessary and playing their part in one perfect whole instrument. As the pipe organ yields to the feeling of the organist, so the ideal band yields to the emotion of its director. The ideal band is an instrument upon which its director plays. The music is the interpretation of the director, not of its members. -KARL KILDAHL, '13. 148 lf ill l ,x lil lil!

It was decided, therefore, that the St. Olaf College Choir should make a concert trip during the Easter vacation of 1912 to add its mite to the good cause. After many conscientious rehearsals and much untiring effort on the part of F. Melius Christiansen, director, and Prof. P. G. Schmidt, manager, the party of forty-six was ready to depart on the tour, full of promise to all. Accompanied by President J. N. Kildahl, who had been secured to deliver the addresses for our sacred concerts, one in English and one in Norwegian, we left Northfield on the Dan Patch car line for Minneapolis, Wednesday afternoon, March 27. It was a happy looking bunch, you may be sure, that said good-bye to the big crowd assembled at the station. In Minneapolis, on the way from the car line to the First Baptist church, we created quite a sensation, judging by the stares and remarks of passers-by. One young man was heard to exclaim: Oh! They've all come to see the county fair! After our rehearsal in the church we went out for lunch returning just in time to don the prescribed regulation dress. Such excitement! The dressing rooms were small, suit cases were missing, and everything was in a Hurry, but finally all was arranged and we marched in very impressively for our first appearance. The church was full and many familiar faces were seen among the audience. After the concert we were whisked off to various homes where we were entertained until the next morning when we left at 8:05 for Eau Claire. Here we were Uparcelled off again to the hospitable homes opened to us. The church was packed for the evening concert, and we were told that about 1,400 people composed that night's audience. After singing to this most appreciative audience we were tendered a reception in the schoolhouse, and there had the opportunity of meeting the cordial young people of Eau Claire, who did much to make our stay enjoyable. At about eleven o'clock we left for the sleeper and we all piled in with hats, coats, and suitcases. Such a jam! Then, to make matters worse, the berths had to be reassigned and everyone had to squeeze by everyone else, poky umbrellas and other paraphernalia. The jostling and pushing of the modern game of football cannot be compared with the tactics employed to get from one part of that car to another, or with the bumps and pokes received and administered on all sides. We had received strict orders to be in the car and to cease all talking before twelve o'clock, but it was long after one before quiet reigned supreme. 150 .f 5? aw? - - --Q: A -Q-F-N-,,,,.sfe-T. va: ,.,- -,...,-.

We were taken to our respective places and saw nothing of each other until the afternoon rehearsal. Some of us were fortunate enough to be entertained by a former St. Olafite at six o'clock dinner at the Alpha Chi sorority house. These university girls were such splendid entertainers and such cordial hostesses that we were loth to leave for our evening concert and due to our procrastination we found that we had but a few minutes in which to cover the distance to the church, but with Prexy to set the pace we arrived just in timef The next day we spent in sight-seeing, for Madison is a beautiful city with wide, well-kept streets bordered with beautiful old trees, large mansions, and imposing business houses. Many squirrels were seen frisking up and down the tree trunks, over the lawns, and even on the porches, sortame have they become. The new Wisconsin capitol was in process of construction and the frame work of the dome was up, a dome to cost several millions of dollars and to be inlaid with pure gold leaf. The University grounds were eagerly traversed and the buildings carefully inspected. The third floor of the University library had special charms for most of us because this was the museum of the Wisconsin State Historical Society. Here was Daniel Webster's quaint old couch with its blue velvet cushions, the scales, measures, and weights used by Oliver Goldsmith, a colonial kitchen complete from an old Massachusetts farm house with the hre- place, settle, pots and kettles, and even two old stovepipe beaver hats with the big, old-fashioned cape cloak of the New England gentlemen, hung carelessly on nails above the settle, giving a homely look. We lingered long in the room of old Nor- wegian relics, and sadly regretted that the old grandfather's clock with its strange- ly carved case could not play the four old Norwegian hymns which it had played years and years before. Twelve o'clock came all too soon and after a hurried lunch we dashed madly for the depot, reaching there in time to catch the train for De Forest, a little place on the map, but a big one in our memories. It seemed 151 5 fasci- a ,?':iiT!-'Z' .J X, ...gl ik -4'--.as 4' bf- 755 ? j x r 'x tx P' Xf- -Ny- X wa M-f JIJAH - -175W-, .PZ M- --'N LL 5gt,-- - -J - - --,--Av L A 5 L, AZN., . -4: .42 that everyone had turned out to see the famous St. Olaf Choir, and we were es- corted by them all to the opera house, where we gave our two o'clock concert. We all remember with pain the inopportune but triumphant crow of a rooster during a critical pause of one of our most impressive songs, and We blamed this unfor- tunate episode to our janitor, Gerhard Peterson, for not placing the signs, Kindly do not applaud in a more conspicuous place. just before our departure we were invited to the dining room of the opera house where a wonderful surprise was in store for us. The shades were drawn and many candles were lit along the tables. There were our good old St. Qlaf colors, used in the decorations, and the tables were fairly groaning with good things, chicken, salads, cake, and innumerable other delectable things. iThe way those tables were relieved of their burden, proves conclusively that De Forest cooks are not to be surpassed. It was with genuine regret that we had to leave those kind friends in order to catch the four o'clock train for Mount Horeb where we were scheduled for an eight o'clock concert. Here, too, everyone was ready to meet us with open arms as it were, even the stores had VVelcome, St. Olaf V' in the windows, and we felt at home immediately. We proceeded directly to the opera house and found the audience impatiently wait- ing our arrival. Hence we had no time to change our traveling garb for concert dress, but rendered our concert at once. The next day was Sunday and we were asked to sing at the morning services in the United Norwegian Lutheran Church. The church was beautifully decorated with Easter lilies and white bunting. In the afternoon we were invited to the church parlors to meet the people who had entertained us so cordially. At 4:35 p. m. we left for Milwaukee, reaching this city in time for a good night's rest. The next morning everyone reported a late rising hour except Dr. Glasoe, Prof. Christiansen and a few others, who had gone out to visit the Pabst breweries. If we had but known! Milwaukee's large and numerous parks, conservatories and library were also visited and some of the young ladies took advantage of the time to do some shopping in the big depart- ment stores, even being accused of hunting bargains. Everyone bought a stein or some other souvenir suggestive of Milwaukee. That evening we sang to one of the finest audiences en tour. After it was over, we went down to the church parlors where we had a little presentation party all by ourselves. It was Prof. Christiansen's birthday and we had taken the opportunity to get him a silver lov- ing cup. Then some good rousing cheers for our director, for our hosts and hos- tesses, and everybody in general. Did we mention the fact that we smelled beer as soon as we alighted at Mil- waukee? We certainly were able to perceive at times what had made Milwaukee famous. We liked this city, nevertheless, and saw some beautiful parts of it. There were several large river steamers at the wharves on the morning of our departure, and flocks of beautiful lake gulls swooping up and down the river and over the bridges. Here, as elsewhere, the kodak was in constant use and some 152 -57 mf L-af N, X ,, If N-g'Q2L -QQ-frgfk-T, 2. - f , Qi- LA3?

Stearns, deserves mention because he very kindly presented each choir member with a copy as a remembrance of our concert there. We reached Chicago at II :3o, got off at the VVest side and took the car to the Deaconess Home and Hospital where we were warmly received by all the Nor- wegian Lutheran pastors of the city as well as those in charge of the hospital. At one o'clock a never-to-be-forgotten banquet dinner was served and the kind re- marks of H. B. Kildahl and other pastors made us feel that we would be well taken care of in the Windy City. V A-fter dinner we sang for the patients and then, with H. B. Kildahl and Prexy as guides, we took the elevated railway for the heart of the city. Didn't we use our eyes though, in looking over that sea of housetops and chimney stacks? We saw some of the slums with all their dirt and filth, whisked by big factories, and here and there caught glimpses of broad and handsome avenues. At State street we descended and were given strict orders to follow close to our guides while we saw Chicago. We visited the beautiful library with its won- derful mosaic dome, the postoffice, Marshall Field's, The Fair, the home of May Manton's patterns with its famous twenty-story pit, got a view of Lake Michigan, saw the Montgomery Ward tower, and went up and down the elevator at Mandel's, enjoying ourselves as thoroughly as does the small boy his lirst cir- cus. We acted extraordinarily verdant, and had great sport staring at the tops of the sky-scrapers, but, try as we would, we could not play the part of the unsophis- ticated as well as did Mr. A. Boe and Mr. Wm. Benson, the inseparables and in- corrigibles of our party. We had hoped to visit the Art Institute on the shore of Lake Michigan, but arrived too late for visiting hours and had to content our- selves with looking at the exterior, once gray, but now black from the soot and 153 .. f '+I fiigir- ,:-- N X v :ff f X -1, .f ' L R X xx N, 'af- K i 'x,,,-.

We strolled leisurely along Michigan avenue as though that Q Af? were our daily promenade, and we strove not to stare too hard at milady's coach Q? and four with the liveried coachman waiting stiffly outside some fashionable shop while milady was interviewing some modiste within. After a restaurant lunch and a few minutes of rest for our weary limbs we took the surface car to the Dea- coness Home, reaching there just in time for a hurried departure for our evening concert, at Wicker Park Hall. The house was packed and we had to pinch our- selves to realize that we were to sing to that vast audience which received us so kindly. The next morning, April third, we arose early, took leave of our respective hosts and hostesses and left on the 8 235 train for Qttawa. When Prof. Schmidt came to view the flock to see whether or not any were lost, strayed, or stolen, he found only Mykkeltvedt missing, but he joined us later having missed the first train because of an elevated railway accident. We reached Ottawa at noon, left our baggage at the church and then went out to Pleasant View Luther College under the chaperonage of Mr. Helgen, ,1 1. After a most sumptuous dinner and a short visit with these kind friends we returned to the church, gave our after- noon concert, had lunch and left at 6:17 p. m. As we were getting on the train the conductor called out in stentorian tones, Last car for the troupe! So the Troupe proceeded to the last car. We had been called the Company, the Party, the Singers and innumerable other names, but this was the hrst time we had the distinction of being the Troupe. The scenery from Ottawa to Albert Lea along the Illinois river would have been a beautiful picture of Shadows that evening. It was just sunset. The river had just overflowed its banks so that trees reached up here and there from the waters, casting wonderful shadows, pale pink, faint lavender, and gold with deep purple tints throughout. A few white birches stood out in striking contrast to the other dark trees. In the distance rose the hills and cliffs through the rifts of which shone the sunset sky in all its glory. Soon darkness fell to shut out this wonderful sunset picture with its restfulness and peace and our straining eyes could see no more. Then we devoted ourselves to the enjoyments of this last evening together, for which a committee had made due preparations. How we en- joyed the fruits of their labors! That was one of the most pleasant evenings spent by the Choir family en tour. We retired late because of the promise of our schedule which said: April 4th-Ar. Albert Lea 4 :o5 a. m., sleeper detached, sleep as long as you like. We awoke to find our sleeper in Albert Lea, out on a sidetrack almost sur- rounded by water due to the Hood. Rev. Nervig was there, however, to reassure us with his pleasant smile and hearty handshake, and he saw to it that we were placed in homes just in time for breakfast. In the afternoon we were entertained in the rest room of one of the department stores, with some excellent Victrola 154 -.f -xr '-'-7 records of Caruso, Tetrazzini, Homer, and other celebrities. After supper we went to the church and found that Rev. Nervig had provided a red carnation and a spray fern for each of the lady members to wear at the evening concert, a cour- tesy much appreciated. This was our last concert and we strove to make it our best, to make it a fitting close to the series of concerts delivered before audiences which had been most kind to us and had entertained us so royally. The next morning, April fifth, saw the final dispersion of the Choir, and but a small part of it returned to Northfield. The trip of the St. Olaf College Choir was a thing of the past, of memories and pleasant thoughts, to be treasured as an attempt at least to create a love for our old hymns and to sing Christ into the hearts of our Norwegian-Americans. -IDA HAGEN, '13, The J une Tour Inspired by the great success of the Easter tour the St. Olaf Choir decided to make a short concert trip after the close of school. An urgent request from the management of the United Church Annual Meeting, convened at Fargo, N. D., was sent to the Choir. We were invited to spend several days and to render music at the sessions of the meeting. Professor Schmidt as manager, with the unani- mous approval of the Choir, decided to make this trip, and also to visit various towns going and coming. Consequently an advance man was sent out to make arrangements for the concerts. The Choir left Northfield in a special car on the morning of june sixth. From St. Paul the trip was made in the Winnipeg Flyer. The time was spent in electing such officers as a stage carpenter, janitor, and postmaster. john Eltun, who had held the office of stage carpenter before, was re-elected, as one good term deserves another. The same was said of Gay Peterson, the janitor. A. Aker was elected postmaster. Every concert was a success and with hardly an exception the Choir was tendered the very best of hospitality and was entertained most royally. Special mention should, however, be made of several of the places visited. The Choir looked forward with great interest to our stay in Fargo. Nearly every member expected to meet a parent, a relative, or a friend, who was in attendance at the annual meeting. Fargo is a beautiful city and the Choir spent some time at sight- seeing. The greater part of our sojourn there was, however, spent in rehearsing with the'Choral Union and singing at the sessions of the annual meeting. Gnly a few of us had ever before witnessed the ordination ceremonies, and great in- terest was evinced on Sunday when these exercises were held. Our stay at Fargo 155 -,,.,- .1 : I QL 'LWF' 4' 5-1 P, gf 2 'gl nf . TE 5 S. 'Xa' F ,Wes JE? was very pleasant although there was much work and little pay. Moorhead was also visited, being of interest as the home of Concordia College. At Hatton and Mayville the Choir was entertained at the homes of the people X 'Suv'- n ,..,., .fxf-f ---, N-xr Sr ...ajT M 'l5-f7- '-:f - his :J 'J' r' -2 wee C11-as r '-T Q2 W9 . 69 ZS? of the United Church. At Mayville the concert was, through the courtesy of the president of the State Normal, given in the assembly room of the school. After the concert an informal reception was tendered us by the teachers and students of the school. judging from the prevailing spirit at this gathering we all think Mayville is all right. Through the untiring efforts of Rev. H. I. Glenn the reception given the Choir at Grand Forks will long be remembered. Upon arrival we were at once ushered to the church parlors, where a luncheon was served. Thanks to the la- dies of the church, for we all did 'ample justice to the repast. Automobiles were then provided and an hour was spent in seeing the city. The concert was ren- dered in the large new Lutheran Church where we were greeted' by one of our largest audiences. By special request two songs were sung twice. Arriving at Crookston we were made to feel at home by the appearance of several St.'Olaf people. Owing to a steady downpour of rain we did not see much of the city. Gur concert was well attended and the singers were well cared for at private homes. Miss Mabel johnson of the first alto section was compelled to leave us here due to ill health. The next day found us at Ada. While here Mr. Wm. Benson, our leading second tenor, quit our company and went to Forest City, Iowa, where business matters demanded his attention. At Warren, on the following day, the Choir was entertained at dinner at the home of Mr. Taraldseth, a' leading business man of the city. Due to railroad connections our concert was given at an early hour, but, nevertheless, a large crowd was in attendance. Fertile and Fergus Falls were our next stops. Here successful concerts were given. The crowd at Fergus Falls exceeded the capacity of the house, and many people had to be turned away. V Alexandria was the last town visited. We arrived there on the morning of june 18th. The day was spent at the lakes. The Choir members were loud in their praise of Alexandria and its people. After the concert a farewell meeting was held in the church parlors. This became quite a trying moment for some, as the large family was now to be broken up, and the members dispersed to their various homes. A majority of the Choir left that night on the 2 :oo o'clock train for Minneapolis. Thus ended the second successful tour of the St. Olaf Choir. If words of praise shall be spoken of any member Prof. Schmidt truly deserves them. Having never been over the territory before he found many things lacking in the arrange- ments, but through his persistent efforts the tour was most pleasant and was also 156 i .f -gf 4-.Qf gf- ---,i',1..ci.- -,--.:-:L -v- F lk... ,FRI- gf.-4 - 1' ,y,., ,, Tff'-12' -J ,M - V iv.. ,, N 1 L-- ,,... i .. a success financially. The Choir awarded him a small token in appreciation of his excellent work. Prof. Adolph Olsen assisted the Choir and was everywhere the object of much praise due to his superior skill as an accomplished violinist. Prof. F. Melius Christiansen deserves the heartiest praise and thanks from every member of the Choir. Only by his tireless zeal and endeavor did it become possible for the St. Olaf Choir to make such a tour. Through his artistic interpre- tation he gave expression to the song, which element brought boundless praise to the St. Olaf Choir. -A. G. AKER, '13, ST.

The St. Olaf Male Quartet E PETERSON VARLAND BERGE SIMONSEN ENGELSTAD YM 1912 Tour of the Male Quartet Early last winter the members of the old regiment, with the approval of Prof. Gronseth, were successful in combining four voices, consisting of Oscar T. Simonson, second bass, Gerhard Peterson, first bass, Conrad Engelstad, second tenor, and Orville L. Varland, first tenor. Work was begun immediately, but not with the intention of making a tour. The quartet was organized mainly to satisfy the demands that come for an organization of this kind. After a few re- hearsals some one suggested that we make a tour during our summer vacation. This suggestion met with approval and preparations were begun for the tour. Mr. T. O. Berge, state orator of last year, was chosen as our speaker, Thomas S. Stockdal as our tour' manager. Southern Minnesota, a part of Wisconsin, Illinois, and Iowa were chosen as the route. Unable to accomplish as much as we had expected before the close of the school year, we were obliged to return to Northfield after the Fargo Choir Tour for a few days of hard work with Prof. Gronseth. . It would be a hopeless task to enumerate all the things of interest that hap- pened. Let it suffice with the mention of just a few incidentals. On june 24 the little company prepared to make the initial start. We made our first journey overland from Northfield to Urland in an automobile. Dr. Lar- son as helmsman. We arrived at Urland shortly before scheduled time where a large crowd was awaiting us. Here we had the pleasure of meeting a number of St. Olafites, who are known to most Oles as Ram, Sam, and Geo. T-lf. D. During our entire tour we frequently happened upon old friends, and in fact there was scarcely a town or city on the whole itinerary where one or more of the boys did not discover some friends. 160 -y 0? u . --Q: ,L Q3-Q T.L.'- 'N, 'L -esT- -'T ,,. I G- Lei:- .-- - After sleeping off the effects of the first concert we made our way to Rev. I-Iauge's church near Dennison, where we sang our sacred concert. The follow- ing days our schedule took us to Moland, 'vVanamingo, and Zumbrota. At Zum- brota we were entertained by the Misses Berg, whose splendid hospitality made our stay a very pleasant one. Blooming Prairie is a fine little village. This be- ing Saturday evening the town band gave an open air concert only a block from the church. Our concert was therefore delayed until after nine o'clock. Fe- lines seemed to be quite numerous about the premises too. All together, I am E sure that the people of Blooming Prairie had enough music for one night. . Sundays were, as a rule, busy days. This Sunday found us at I-Iayneld, Rev. A. Shefve- land's charge. We sang at Rock Dell in the morning. After dinner we had a chance to visit the Dzells. This, I think, was the most scenic place on our entire tour. Standing un- derneath a large overhanging rock, facing the green valley and brooklet below, the quartet sang Naar fjorderne blaaner with a spirit that only such a place could stimulate. In the evening we sang our concert in Hayield. I suppose 'fCy and Conn made their biggest hit here. Our next stop was at Grand Meadow. I-Iere we enjoyed the hospitality of Miss Anna Myrhe and Mr. O. Skogstad. At Lanesboro Edith Glasoe met us at the station and es- corted us to her home. This is Cy's'l home town. The afternoon was spent in sight-seeing. However, Cy fell by the wayside. At Peterson we were entertained by the Thompson family, ex-Northfield people. It was also our good fortune to spend the Fourth at a picnic near Peterson. The follow- ing days we sang at Rushford, I-Iouston, and La Crosse. The next week took us from La Crosse to Le Roy. On our way to Spring Grove we were side-tracked at Reno, where we spent the greater part of the day. Reno, you may know, is not a very large place. We arrived there about II 130 a. m. Dinner was the first thing on the program. The best we could do along those lines was a box or two of sardines, a box of crackers, and each a bottle of pop. Dinner over we settled down for the day. We were the attraction of the season, in fact it was the first time that a musical organization had visited their town. It happened occasionally that we had some time to ourselves. At such times the hours would be spent in various ways. Sometimes athletic stunts predomin- l I 161 x4 V ... - -.

Much of our leisure time was spent in partaking of the social game of Som-er-set. T. 0. Berge was probably the most ardent devotee of the game, if not always the most successful. Croquet was also a pastime. I think it is safe to say that T. O. Berge ex- celled in this sport also, both as a scientific player and especially when it came to making new rules. Our next stop was at Harmony. Here we were met by a large delegation of Ules. After the concert we were invited to the home of Ella Sanderson, where we partook of a most excellent spread. At Le Roy we had a full house, due to the efforts of Rev. Swennungson. We stayed with the reverend over Sunday and we must say that he is a royal entertainer. ' WVISCONSIN. In Wisconsiii we met with some difficulty. Due to some mistake in the mail, we failed to get our itinerary from the manager. After making a few inquiries we arrived at Gays Mills, where we gave our first concert in Wiscoiisin. Our stay in Wisconsiii was not long, butnevertheless successful and pleasant. In all we gave five concerts: Gays Mills, Soldiers Grove, Viroqua, Coon Valley, and Westbyf. At all these towns we were entertained by former or present St. Olafites. ILLINOIS. After completing our tour in Wisconsin we made a big jump to Elgin, Ill. entertained by Rev. Hinderlie, the Rovelstads, and Miss Here the quartet was Stange. The mere mention of these names makes further comment On the en- tertainment wholly superiiuous. Concerts were given at Aurora, Newark, Fox River, and Stavanger. Stavanger, being the home of the undersigned, was one of 162 -9- -' 'if 'Ll-'q:g -rf-fr-1'.?fv:l kg?-I 915- - , ,.f S .. -..M the most interesting points on the itinerary. While visiting my home the boys were put to work in the harvest field. I don't know as father profited any by the experiment, as it created an unusually big appetite. As a matter of fact Con was usually the big eater in the bunch. Saturday was a night off. Concerts at Elliot, Rowe, Gardner, Morris, Freedom, Ottawa, Lisbon, and Leland ended our Illinois tour. IOWA. Iowa was one continuous round of pleasure. The initial concert was at Cal- amus with a record breaking crowd. Bill, the Viking chief, received us with a glad hand at Norway. The quartet will not soon forget the hospitality of the Tvedt family. Marshalltown, Dunbar, Cambridge, Palestine, and Slater followed. Our stay in Slater was a very pleasant one, due largely to the efforts of George Natwick. Kelly is on the map, too.. Miss Reinertson proved to be a very good hostess. Mr. and Mrs. E. Fardal were on the job at Stanhope. Sunday was another busy day, as our schedule announced three concerts, Ea- gle Grove, Lake, and Thor. This was our hardest day, its being so very hot, and such long distances to travel. At Badger we were received in the usual manner by joe Fevold. The following day took us cross country to Stockdal's home, where we were placed face to face with a turkey dinner. lfVhat could have tasted better after a fifteen-mile drive? Following this we sang concerts at Holmes, Lake Mills, Hartland, New Richland, Kenseth, and Northwood. This ended our tour and its memories are a part of our history. The little regiment broke up the same night. Back in Northfield we found that we lacked two days of a ten weeks' trip. The distance covered was about 2,ooo miles, giving in all about sev- enty-five concerts. Credit is due in a large measure for the financial success of the tour to our manager, T. S. Stockdal. In general we must say that the tour was a splendid summer vacation, an agreeable deviation from regular routine work, and a great storehouse of pleasant memories from which to draw in years to come. -ORVILLE L.

All of these parts are well represented at St. Olaf. The work is carried on with eight constituent literary societies as its basis: the Alpha Beta Chi, Alpha Kappa, Gamma Delta, Pi Sigma Alpha, Phi Kappa Phi, Delta Chi, Nu Sigma Rho, and N ormanna. The following contests are held each year under the auspices of the Oratori- cal Association, Debate Association, Norwegian Oratorical Association, Senior Ware Committee, and the Womenls Debate Board: Oratorical contest in the Minnesota State Oratorical Association. Oratorical contest in the Norwegian Oratorical Association. Two inter-collegiate debates in the Triangular Debate League. Ware Oratorical contest with Carleton College. Gratorical contest to select an orator for the state contest. Oratorical contest to select an orator for the Norwegian contest. Cratorical contest to select speakers for the VV are contest. A system of debates to select the inter-collegiate debaters. A series of inter-society debates to determine the championship in the Men's Literary Societies. A series of inter-society debates to determine the championship in the Wom- enis Literary Societies. ' Besides these contests the Oratorical Association had the honor of holding the Inter-state Oratorical contest under its auspices in the spring of IQI2. 168 .f .X, QQ? X. 5 7-Qff?-iifief-'L' ,.-,J,--- The Literary Societies lt is in the literary societies of our college that the training and experience in public speaking first takes on its definite form. Every Saturday evening from the time school opens in the fall until Easter vacation, the presidents of the various literary societies, except those conducted in the Norwegian language, which meet on Monday evenings, rap their gavels at precisely seven o'clock. At each of these meetings about ten members have the opportunity to acquire the training and ex- perience that goes with the rendition of the program. The programs usually con- sist of music, impromptus, readings, reports on the news of the week, essays, speeches, and debates. Thus training is obtained both in prepared and in off- hand speaking. To further serve as a feeder for our inter-collegiate forensic work, a sys- tem of inter-society debates has been instituted. The least that can be said of these debates is that they are of a very high order. The school year of 1911-12 saw the beginning of a new departure-that of inter-society debates in the wom- en's societies. The spirit, interest, and ability shown in these debates refute the idea that the women are not capable public speakers. VVith the growth of our college department and with the full realization of the value of the literary society came the need of more societies. Accordingly in the fall of 1911 two new societies were organized-the Nu Sigma Rho for women, and the Pi Sigma Alpha for men. Again in the fall of IQI2 two men's societies were organized-the Sigma Tau, and the Phi Delta Theta.

The oratorical gift has been contemplated from two view points. VVith the Roman world of Quintillian it was a supreme talent, to be cultivated as the way to fame and power. Witli the older Greek time of Pericles and Demosthenes, it was a practical efficiency of great service to society and the state. The periods when under either motive the orator has held the front, have been times of demo- cratic life. The oratory of England comes after the rise of the political party. The dominance of public opinion means the dominance of persuasion. The growing interest in public speaking which distinguishes American col- lege life, is therefore not accidental. As the career of our nation unfolds, it is destined to increase. For the public life of a nation like ours needs above all the testimony of which it can .judge immediately and absolutely. The living voice must supplant cold type as a means of producing conviction. Some influence is needed which can reconcile what people read and hear, and melt all doubts into certainty and definite will. Nowhere is the task so great and pressing as in our land. American college oratory is not the mere expedient of sensationalism in school lifeg it is not a mere adventitious charm added to the dry duties of the cur- riculumg it springs from the very nature and requisites of American life, and is therefore highly justified. Oratory is further a legitimate discipline in itself. Tn its higher manifesta- tions it calls for the supreme gift. Vlfhen Alexander Duff returned from his first sojourn in India he magnetized the Scottish Church with the brilliant oratory of an impassioned cause. A brief visit to America was like a triumphal progress. The value of training showed itself in two ways. Unconsciously, the readings of his youth asserted themselves, and the rolling periods of Burke, Chatham, and Erskine rang again in the ears of men. Tn his delivery it was lack of training or ideal, which asserted itself. Tn him the message overbore the manner. And this is a principle never to be forgotten. But the significance of the message does not warrant disregard of the delivery. Nor does Providence give to everyone a re- sistless message. The public speaking department at St. Olaf College expects to readjust itself from time to time to meet growing demands. The gift of annual prize money for a Freshman-Sophomore contest, provided by a certain Alumnus, will help greatly in the immediate future. The plans in formulation will appear in the catalogue as far as necessary. Certainly there is no more legitimate sphere for student am- bition than to excell in public speechg nor is there any line of discipline which brings more practical or lasting results, not merely as to particular skill, but as to the whole personality of the student. 188 .-.f Q- MQ!

Wfare of Northfield aroused interest in forensic work at St. Olaf by offering prizes to those men, of the Senior classes of St. Olaf and Carleton Colleges who, in a contest, excelled in oratory. Before this time little interest in oratory had been taken at St. Olaf. The main reason for this wasundoubtedly the fact that no beginning had been made. But the interest has never lagged since that first stimulus was given. ln that first oratorical contest victory could hardly be expected. NVe did not win. We were then entering a field in which we were strangers, while our op- ponents had been engaged along that line for several years. But nevertheless, the way had been paved, and-as it has come to pass-paved well, for now we can boast of a record in oratory that challenges that of any college in the North- west. It was after the decision of the second contest had been announced that we first received the feeling that comes through victory. ln this contest Mr. C. E. Sybilrud with his splendid oration on China Regeneratef' carried to St. Olaf her first forensic victory. From that time down to this an annual Vlfare Oratorical contest has been held. Thirteen of them, when all are told. In these contests S-t. Olaf has won first place nine timesq The following are the names that are coupled with these victories: C. E. Sybilrud, 'org A. A. Reece, 'ogg M. Hegland, 'o4g E. Nervig, 'o5g N. T. Tosseland, 'o6g E. R. Anderson, 'o8g Orlando lngvolstad, ,IOQ Olin S. Reigstad, 7111 and T. S. Slen, '12. MINNESOTA STATE ORATORICAL coNT12s'r. In the year IQO2 St. Olaf made another advance in forensic work. In that year she entered the State Oratorical contest for the first time. From a back num- ber of the Manitou Messenger we take the following: This year marks another step forward in the history of St. Olaf. VVe measured our strength for the first time with the other colleges of Minnesota in the State Oratorical contest. Mr. A. A. Reece, who represented St. Olaf, received second place. This was doing well and we were satisfied in View of the fact that it was our first attempt. But we di- rected our aim for the first place for the next year-and we hit the mark. We had seen the white of the enemy's eyes, and had fired our first shot. The following year Mr. Reece was again our representative. By his strong and forcible delivery of his oration, The Issue of the Age, he brought to St. Olaf her first victory in the state contest. It was then that the loyal student and 189 -CQ' IAQ? --213, i- Q, X ,J 1' 25 f . -51, s 1 tix. x. x.,f 'Las xgfff -1-X,-f -- .wiii L- .-:7'+,. M ..-.,aY,..f- , 5. . Az.-,,.,. -5 , ..

A contemporary chronicler describes the situa- tion in these words: We cast rules and regulations aside. We mustered out the band, and without regard for our voices or for the stillness of the mid-night air we marched to the station to await the coming of the train bearing the oratorf' Truly it was a banner year in the history of St. Olaf College. Since the year IQO4 our record in the state contest has been characterized by a few ups and downs. But as the record below will show, it is on the average a commendable record and bears investigation. Three times the banner of victory has proudly waved over. Manitou Heights, and as many times have we been hon- ored with second place. The high water mark in St. Olaf and Minnesota oratory was reached in the year 1909. In that year our orator, Sigurd T. Sorenson, with his oration, The Fight of a Good Man, after winning the state contest, wrote the name of St. Olaf College in the first column of the Inter-state Oratorical Rec- ord. Never before nor since has a Minnesota college won a similar victory. To St. Olaf alone belongs this well deserved prestige. As we reflect on the record that we have made in oratory a definite question shapes itself in our minds-how does it come about that we are able to meet and defeat the chosen representatives not only in the state contest but in the Inter- state as well? There are three main points to the answer of that question: 1. The enthusiastic interest in oratory on the part of the students and faculty, 2. Hard and diligent work on the part of the orators, and 3, the competent and untiring assistance of those members of the faculty who have gladly given their time and energy to the training of our orators. The trying years of St. Olaf oratory up to 1906 were under the guidance of Prof. I. F. Grose. It is largely due to his ef- forts that the records of those early years of oratory building are so bright to look upon. In IQO7 Prof. C. O. Solberg took the reins and proceeded to drive ahead. The fact that he coached his man to victory in the Inter-state contest of 1909 is enough to give one a small idea of his ability as a teacher of oratory. It is to these men, more than to anything else, that we owe our success in oratory. But if we are to be victorious in the future, and we have good reason to expect that we will be victorious, we must be quick to take advantage of the assistance that is so gratuitously given. We must continue our interest, our enthusiasm, and our hard and diligent work. We must realize fully that victories come only through a happy combination of interest, work, and training.

State Orator Thorwald O. Berge began his forensic career at Pleasant View Luther College at Ottawa, Ill. At this institution he was an active 'worker in the Literary and Debating societies. Here he became interested in oratory and accordingly took part in an ora- torical contest. Though not winning first place he acquitted himself ' so honorably that he was made one of the orators of his class at graduation. Fortunately, in the fall of 1909 he en- rolled as a Freshman at our college. A place in the Alpha Beta Chi Literary soci- ety awaited him. In this organization he was an ardent worker and greatly developed his talent for public speech. In his Fresh- man year he entered the Preliminary State Oratorical contest in which he received hon- ' orable mention and proved himself an ora- tor by receiving the highest marks from two of the judges. In the spring of 1911 we again find him in the Preliminary State Oratorical contest. This time he carried off first honors, won the silver loving cup, and became our representative in the State Oratorical contest held at North- field on March 28, 1912. In the state contest he won second place by a very large margin. His oration on The Wavering Balance is a strong production both in regard to composition and thought. His delivery is earnest and winning. Be- sides the cash prize, the winning of second place made him Minnesota's delegate to the Inter-state Oratorical contest. Berge has always remained a busy worker in all departments of College ac- tivity and has prominently identified himself with every phase of its life. He has served his society as president, served as president of the Messenger Board, been an active worker in the Luther League, and been a member of our track team. Besides his work in student activities Berge has accomplished the seemingly im- possible task of completing his course in three years and at the same time worked his way through college. At present he is engaged as principal of the Milan High School, Milan, Minnesota. T. O. BERGE 192 ., if an-f -.--1 --T - .q'-- -'- .,f:.?- -- .. '-1,-.irh -f .-1, I ff--- L. ,4 .,. M,--:rf ,,....,.,.

In the lit- erary societies of that institution he was looked up to as the leader, and the training he received there has made him a danger- ous man to meet on the forensic arena. That his ability was recognized was made manifest when he became one of the two I-Ionor Orators at graduation. In the fall of 1908 Mr. S-len first reg- istered at our college. Fortune, however, intervened and he was compelled to stay out of school from jan. 1909 to jan. 1910. The Alpha Kappa Literary society recog- nized his ability and persuaded him to cast his lot with them. To retaliate Slen entered the preliminary inter-society debates. In this contest he won first place, thus becoming leader of the Alpha Kappa Debate team. The following year without a try-out, he was made the leader of the Inter-collegi- ate Debate team that met Lawrence University. In 1912 he entered the Preliminary Ware Oratorical contest. In this contest he won second place and so became one of our two representatives in the Ware contest with Carleton. When we had heard him deliver his oration on The just Solution of the Immigration Problem at the Ware contest we realized more than ever before his ability as a public speaker. I-Ie easily won lirst place. Slen has been an active and conscientious worker. I-Ie has served as presi- dent of the Luther League, and of both the Alpha Kappa and the Normanna Lit- erary societies. I-Ie completed his college course in three years and at the same time has worked his way through college. At present he is studying law at the University of Minnesota. We safely say that in his chosen profession his clear and logical reasoning will win fame for himself and Alma Mater. J 1 T. S.

N: ?'D'17 ' Albert Tollevs is a graduate of our own Academy. While in the preparatory department he was a member of the Mani- tou Literary society. The skill in public speaking that he developed in this organia- ation was recognized by the faculty when they made him one of the orators of his class at graduation. As a Freshman in the fall of 1908, Tollevs joined the Gamma Delta Literary society. He immediately proceeded to win honors for himself and society by earning a place on the championship- Inter-society Debate team of that year. In the spring of 1909 he entered the Preliminary State Ora- torical contest and won second place. His ambition, however, was not daunted, for in the following year he entered the Prelim- inary State Oratorical contest again. This time he missed first place by only two points. Tollevs now resolved to tempt Dame ,Fortune in the Preliminary Ware Orator- ical contest of IQI2. In this contest he was successful, winning first honors, and thus becoming one of our representatives in the VVare contest with Carleton where he received third place. A Tollevs' ability in student activities has been recognized. He has served two years on the Debate boardg one year on the Oratorical board, been a member of the Messenger Board, served his society as presidentg and been actively interested in our Luther League. He has always been a persistent and ambitious worker, and if that counts for anything in the School of Life we will yet get favorable re- ports from his efforts. L l A. T.

Stenerson, popularly known 1 as t'Gloomy,,' will represent St. Glaf Col- lege in the State Oratorical contest of 1913. Mr. Stenerson completed his preparatory education at our own academy. In the academy he was actively interested in the Manitou Literary society. That his foren- sic abilities were early manifest is shown by the fact that he appeared as one of the class orators upon graduation. During his college career he has been an active and progressive member of the Alpha Kappa and Normanna Literary so- cieties. He won a place on the 1910-11 Alpha Kappa Debate team. In the spring of 1912 he entered the Preliminary S-tate Oratorical contest for the nrst time. He was successful, receiving the highest marks on delivery from all the judges. St. Olaf College places great confidence in Mr. Stenerson. He posesses two qualities-pluck and ambition-that are bound to win in the long run. These qualities coupled with his excellent delivery will make him a strong contender for the honors of the State Oratorical contest of 1913. Gloomy has always been one of the popular men of the college. His work on the diamond has won for him many admirers. He has been a member of the College Baseball team for three years. This year he is our captain. His work on the gridiron and on the basketball court has also been noteworthy. His judgment and authority on athletics was recognized when he was made one of the athletic editors of the Viking. He is an all-around man, well worthy to represent St. Olaf College. G. A.

Anderson, popularly known as Captain Anderson, represented St. Olaf Col- lege in the Norwegian State Oratorical con- test of 1912. Mr. Anderson comes to us from Norway, Europe. In Norway he at- tended the I-Iorten S j omilitaere-Korps Un- der OfHcerskole for four years. I-Ie then became a sailor and as such he found occa- sion to visit many points of note in the world. In 1903 he came to the United States and continued his profession as quartermaster on the Great Lakes, where he in time became pilot. In the fall of 1907 he registered as a special student at St. Olaf College and in the fall of 1911 through special efforts was able to join the class l of '13. At St. Olaf College Mr. Anderson has been an active and busy member of the Man- itou, Edda, Germania, and Normanna Lit- societies stood him in good stead in the pre- liminary contest where he won Hrst place with his oration on : Norr6na-Stammens Virkelystf' Thus he became our representative in the above mentioned contest held at Moorhead, Minn. on May 16, 1912. In this contest he won second place. The Norwegian State Oratorical Association was organized in the school year of 1911-12 through the initiative of Augsburg Seminary. Six schools are members of the association, namely: Augsburg Seminary, University of Minne- sota, Concordia College, Red Wing Seminary, Park Region Luther College, and St. Olaf College. This year St. Olaf College will have the honor of entertaining the contest. The arrangements are left with Mr. Anderson, president of the association for 1912-13. AXEL A. ANDERSON erary societies.

In the academy Miss Opjorden was a prominent and active member of the Utile Dulci Literary Society. In this organization she acquired the ease and grace that make for good reading and declaiming. During her college career she has been identified with the Delta Chi and Normanna Literary Societies. The forensic training that she has received in these organizations has stood her in good stead. In the class declam- atory contests under Prof. Eikeland, as well as in the society contests, she has been a ready winner. She represented the Normanna So- ciety in the Sigvald Quale Memorial contest. In the final contest held in Minneapolis on Nov. 30, she received fourth place and a Norwegian book as a prize. Miss Opjor- den has always been a busy and conscientious student. Thus, it was not a surprise to us that she received one of the scholarships offered to the members of the Junior class. Of her it can be truly said that she has used her college days well. The Sigvald Quale Memorial contest was instituted by Mrs. Anna Quale of Eau Claire, Wis., in memory of .her son, Sigvald, for the purpose of promoting an appreciation of the Norwegian language and literature. Mrs. Quale donated the sum of 32,500 to Det Norske Selskap i Amerika, the interest of which sum is to be used as prizes to the winners in the Norwegian Declamatory contests, which are held under the auspices of said society through some local committee. These contests may be held wherever four or more native born, or others who have received an important part of their education in the United States, young men and women, are willing to take part. The winner of the local contest re- ceives a silver medal, and is entitled to take part in the annual general contest for the gold medal, to which a scholarship at one of the higher Norwegian institutions of learning in this country will probably be added.

Tlze Inter-State Oratorical Contest The greatest forensic event ever held at St. Olaf College-the Inter-state Oratorical Contest -was staged in the Hoyme Memorial Chapel on the evening of May 17, 1912. It was not a con- test in which the chosen representatives of two or three colleges met in test, it was not a contest in which representatives of two or three states met in competition, but it was a contest in which the chosen representatives of all the states-ten in number-of that vast stretch of territory, exclu- sive of North and South Dakota, in the heart of our country, extending from the southern boun- dary of the Dominion of Canada to the north line of the state of Arkansas, and from the eastern boundary of the state of Wyoming to the west line of the state of Pennsylvania, met in battle to win the honors of the contest. A rough and con- servative estimate would place the number of schools represented at eighty, with about 30,- ooo constituent students. Such was 'the compre- hensiveness of the contest. To St. Olaf College came the privilege of entertaining this contest by virtue of her victory in the Inter-state contest of 1909, when S. T. Sorenson brought to Minnesota and to St. Olaf College in particular, for the first time, the coveted prize. The preliminary arrangements for the contest were made in the spring of 1911, when O. S. Reigstad, serving as delegate to the Inter-state Association from Min- nesota, invited the association to St. Olaf College. The final arrangements were left in the hands of Mr. Ernest Rovelstad, vice president of the association for 1911-12, and Prof. C. O. Solberg, assisted by the local oratorical board. This contest was, without doubt, the greatest lesson in public speaking that St. Olaf College has ever had. Here the different types of oratory were displayed, and we learned to appreciate more than ever before, just what is wanted in col- lege orations to-day. These orations dealt with characters as well as with prob- lems. Here were orations that were concise, concentrated, quick, clear and strong, both in unity and in coherence, here were orations that were imaginative, emo- tional, and sympathetic, as well as forceful, hard, and bombastic. Here were de- ERNEST ROVELSTAD Vice President. 198 -Q!

The various types of modern college oratory were well represented. Truly it was an opportunity of a lifetime to be in attendance at the contest. If we were to offer specific criticism on any of the orators and orations we would coniine ourselves to those representing Iowa and Michigan. The Iowa orator failed in that his style was too combative and his pitch too high, this made him incapable of the proper climax. The Michigan orator succeeded through a very strong oration delivered in a spirit that went straight to the heart of his audi- ence, but reflection brings the thought that there was a lack of the spontaneous. of the lightness we usually associate with successful oratory. Whatever faults these two orators may have possessed, they nevertheless, represent the high water mark of modern college oratory. PRQGRAM. Invocation - Dr. N.

That date also saw her win her first victory in inter-collegiate debates. The lusty Swedes from St. Peter had been invited to a dispute on the question: Resolved, that the tendencies of labor unions are a menace to our public welfare? lt was evident from the beginning that our men were to have everything their own way. Accordingly the 3 to 0 victory did not come as a surprise. From that year to this, with the exception of the year 1909, we have annually taken part in one or more debates. For five years-1904 to 1908, inclusive-we had an annual tussel with Gustavus Adolphus College. Out of these five debates we have won four. The time was now at hand when we were looking for fields to conquer. But entering a little late we were unable to book a debate for the spring of 1909. However, in 1910 we succeeded in scheduling two debates-one with Fargo Col- lege and one with the Shakopean Society of the University of Minnesota. Both these debates were hard fought, but resulted in victories for our men. In 1911 we took on the heavy schedule of three debates-one with Lawrence University, one with Fargo College, and one with Macalester College. Though defeated in two of these debates, we nevertheless learned a valuable lesson. VVe learned that the polish of the Lawrence men and the pluck of the Fargo debaters are essential ele- ments in present day contests. VVe, however, succeeded in adding the scalp of Macalester College to our collection, which proved to be a soothing balm. During the early months of the school year of 1911-1912 we made another advance in debating. In those months the Tri-angular Debate League between Fargo, Macalester, and St. Olaf Colleges was organized. In this system each college puts two teams in the field, one team, upholding the affirmative and the other the negative side of the question. Thus the championship in the league can be definitely determined. The system has another commendable point and that is that the expenses are equally distributed among the colleges involved. The question discussed in the League in 1912 was: Resolved, that the Unit- ed States should establish a central bank. This very popular question proved to be a rather unfortunate one in that it invited wrangling and left little time for clear-cut argument. Nevertheless, the system is an admirable one and raises inter- collegiate debating to a high level. The championship in the league in 1912 fell to St. Olaf by virtue of her victories over Fargo and Macalester Colleges. This year a change has been made in the league. Fargo College has been eliminated on account of the great expense involved in travel- over such a long distance, and 203 N. N ., X ., 'C!,1.

The membership fee, at pres- ent, is fifty cents. This fee is usually paid in connection with the season athletic ticket or with the basket-ball ticket. The business of the Union is centered in the Athletic Board, comprising the officers of the Union and three professors chosen by the faculty. The purpose of the Union is to promote physical training and to co-operate with the college authorities in the control and management of athletic sports at St. Olaf College. The various departments under the control of the Athletic Union are: Athletic store, baseball, basket-ball, tennis, track, football, and gym team. 218 ...f 'xl' an f- Spf -Qafiieiff ' fl- ,A-, -5 ,- T' 'fr - - -lfggjrlbgfj The St. O.

It takes hard and patient Work under the present rules of the Athletic Union to Win the coveted St. O. In baseball and in basket-ball practically two years of team work is required. The reserve is usually given for one year's work. The Held and track candidate must not only win a first in an inter-collegiate event, but also make a good record in the same. The average tennis man plays with the team for three seasons before he can decorate his sweater with our sign of athletic hon- or. To many the requirements for winning an St. O. may seem difficult, but the prize is valued accordingly.

Anderson is a graduate of St. Olaf Col- lege. After graduating in the spring of 1909, he studied physical training at the Y. M. C. A. Train- ing School at Springfield, Mass., for two years. In the fall of IQII he was called to take charge of the Department of Physical Education at St. Olaf Col- lege. The department of physical education aims to develop the health, strength, and vitality of the stu- dents. The Work is divided into three branches: Physical examination, physical training, and lectures on hygiene. I I-PHYSICAL EXAMINATION. Every male student upon entering school is giv- en a thorough physical examination, which consists of a physical diagnosis, measurements, and strength Y V 4 tests. Any abnormality or weakness of the consti- tution is given special attention. II-PHYSICAL TRAINING The work in physical training is divided according to the seasons of the year into fall, winter, and spring activities. The fall Work consists of cross-country running, rugby and soccer football, and tennis. The winter Work is carried on in the gymnasium and consists of graded gymnastic work in tactics, calisthenics, apparatus work, tumbling, and indoor games. The spring Work consists of cross- country running, field and track athletics, baseball, and tennis. I I I-HYGIENE Lectures and talks are given from time to time, and deal with such topics as will teach the student to reverence his body and care for his health. 220 -Ry ms? -.-- -.,. .Q-..x,, gi--A ifi.-.,-.-'vx' ,Q 5 - , I-T.,-, -Q7-c'7'-f'-TE 1 ff ,.: - ---- S-4'1 -A-gd.

'lm' Qwfhf ,J 1, ,- 3 Review of the Baseball Season 'We tied with Macalester for the baseball championship in the season of IQIO, in 1911 we did not do as well, and last year our team again fell somewhat below par. The cause for the showing of last season can be found in the lack of willing- ness in practice and the absence of pep in the game. This was due chiefly to the fact that there was no coach to keep the boys on their toes, and also to serve as a general manager and boss of the team. The result of good coaching was shown in the excellent work of the 1910 team. Nevertheless, the team last season, as usual, received' good support from the students. There is not a student who does not save his lustiest yells for the baseball season, for what football is to other schools baseball is to ours. Our season opened on April 27 when St. Thomas came to town. They, being well along in their schedule, were veterans by this time while our boys had a com- plete schedule before them, and although they scored IO hits to St. Thomas' I2 our nine ended the race four tallies in the rear. On May 4th the Macalester athletes were taken into the St. Olaf camp where they had to drop a game before departing. This time our ball tossers started things right off the first bat, and after an exciting third inning everything went nicely, the game ending with the score 7 to 8. May 7th found the Oles visiting at St. Thomas where they presented their hosts with a loosely played game. The Hamline-St. Olaf game played here on May 13th had an interesting finale. The eighth inning closed with the score 2-3, favoring St. Olaf. Hamline tied by batting in the ninth, and St. Olaf with two men down at their last bat saw 'fGl0omy draw a pass, proceed to and succeed in stealing second and third and come home on Stub Undemls drive over second. The 17th of May game was a real live baseball game. This game is the an- nual event in which the rival teams, Luther and St. Olaf, strain every effort to tuck the game away. The tension of this rivalry always makes the game the most interesting of the season. E, Erickson curved for Luther while Undem cast the elusive sphere for the Oles. Both pitchers were given air-tight support and thus the outcome of the game was a guess to the 1500 fans until the last man was down. In this game the visitors made three errors, four hits, and two scores. The St. Olaf men made the same number of errors, five hits, and one score. Every St. Olaf supporter felt that their ball tossers made the game well worth winning. In a snappily fielded game the Vikings again overcame the Hamline crew on May's twenty-third day. The score was 8 to 9. May 27 was a dark and rainy day and in a muddy contest Luther gained a second victory. A short while after 223 ,Ji I Q -:ra fb'-P 2 ,.1 L S., ig Q 3. 1 14 xg ,f ,.

On Monday, june 3, our athletes, with blood in their optics, journeyed to Laird field. There they started proceedings by batting Lewison out of the box. For past grievances they took revenge on Shirley in the same manner. It was left to Schroeder to save the day for Carleton. The Oles had the game tucked away in the eighth by a score of 10-2 but such prosperity seemed too much for them and the game ended in favor of our fellow citizens across the river by the score of II to Io. If we were to single out any of the players and venture to pass judgment on their work of the season, we would ind that four or five of the men have played consistent ball. Stenerson deserves special mention for his work in the left gar- den as well as with the stick. He finished the season with the record for number of hits made. Heimark at first base was steady and could usually be counted up- on to push out a hit when it took the best with his followers. Undem on the slab did some excellent work, and generally fielded his position well, while Fevold, the stonewall backstop, did the receiving stunt in major league form. Anderson, who won the batting honors, made a promising beginning on the second corner. The Whole team gave us snatches of snappy baseball which revealed the fact that with a good coach the baseball history for IQI2 would have been different. The outlook for the season of IQI3 is bright. Only two men, Captain Heimark and Conrad Rogne leave the team. Our pitchers and our catcher will be on duty. With Gloomy,' S-tenerson as captain and a raft of material with which to fill the vacancies, the prospects for pennant winners is the brightest possible. IN THE DAYS OF REAL SPORT 224 Julius Heimark IB. CLARQKFIELD, MINN. f!Hei!3 Captain Heimark coach- ed the team from the in- itial sack. I-Ieretofore Heimark has done the receiving stunt, but last year he held nrst base down in a manner that demonstrated that he is an all around player. With the stick, likewise, he Was feared by the op- posing pitchers, and it was not unusual for him to pound out a hit when it was needed the most. The Players Conrad Rogue S. S. STURGEON BAY, XVIS. Con Con's main asset is his awful whip. When he lets loose of the ball there is not much time lost. At times he ac- quitted himself Well at the stick. Besides Work- ing at short he was oc- casionally shifted to the center garden. 225 X -sf sf asf f t 1Q:f,qC7 l V J A' ll' if -Th' -T -'T-vii? :T-1 az Jar' -. ,, .. ,JL AT- ii E- :iff Gustave A.

Last year he found a steady berth be- hind the bat, Where he showed himself a persis- tent and steady worker, receiving the speediest offerings with ease. He has a strong quick arm for second and it is sel- dom that an opposing player is able to steal on him. ZB. COTTON XVOOD, MINN. Endre Endre is a new man on the team. He tried out in the spring and made good. He is an earnest and steady player, al- ways Working for team glory. He made a prom- ising beginning on the second corner, and with the stick his work is commendable-he finish- ed the season at the head of the batting list. 226 Ralph Unclem P. 8: S. S. COTTONWOOD, MINN. Stub Stuff, was the main- stay of the pitching staff last season. He has good curves and offers them with abundant smoke.

Anderson, Coach. Review of Basketball Season The season of IQII-IQI2 did not prove a record breaker in any way. The slippery old bird of victory did not always hover near and we did not win the championship. But, nevertheless, considering the fact that new material had to be broken in, we had a fairly successful season. The loss of several star players the season'before left a gap in the line-up that was hard to fill. But by dint of hard and faithful practice a very formidable machine was built up which ended the sea- son in a very satisfactory way. Captain Enstadis first call for candidates resulted in twenty-five men report- ing for the first practice on Nov. 16th. The promptness of their response and the determination with which they worked showed the faith which they had in their captain and justified the loyalty which the student body showed to the team. 230 .1 -Ny L-:swf s --- -af-ffx'..ffl-.--. .... g- ,- -P-37,7 ,- .,.:-A-r-rd ,fl ,C 1 1.-L., --fir-'S 1 ' qv- -A-.- '- V ' ' 1' IA-' ,-,,,4! X A After several weeks of good hard drill under Coach Anderson's instruction the team made its debut of the season by meeting the Gustavus Adolphus quintet. Vlfe received the small end of a 38 to 21 score, but were not disappointed as it is impossible, in so short a time, to develop a smooth running machine. Two weeks later we were defeated by Luther College by a 27 to 25 score. The playing on both sides was both fast and furious and neither team had a commanding lead at any stage of the game. On January 15th the Aggies nosed out a victory in the final moments of play in a game that was characterized by fast and clean play on both sides. Qur first victory came on january 27th when Stout Institute went clown to defeat' before the defenders of the Old Gold and Black by a 30 to I7 score. The first meeting with a team representing the University of North Dakota resulted in a I2 to 35 defeat for our boys. The weight and speed of the University team were too much and they rornped away with the game. The return game with the Aggies was played on Feb. toth and resulted in a clear cut victory for our team. The smooth team work of our boys was a revela- tion to the rooters and the Aggies were completely out-classed in every department of the game. Our first encounter with Carleton was on Feb. 17th and resulted dis- astrously, we receiving the meager end of a 20 to 8 score. The team was demoral- ized on account of the absence of one of the regular players, which necessitated a sudden shift in the line-up. Playing in the Carleton gymnasium on Feb. 22nd our boys took ample re- venge on Luther for the beating received earlier in the season. In this game Luther made only one field goal and at no stage of the game were they dangerous. The final score was 23 to 12. Stout Institute was met for the second time on Feb. 24th and their endeavors were successful in a 20 to I5 game. Superior team work won a spectacular game for the Vikings in the second encounter with Carleton. It was without doubt one of the fiercest games ever played between the two schools. But when the smokerof battle had cleared away the Old Gold and Black waved triumphpantly after a 21 to I8 victory. The second game with Gustavus Adolphus on March 4th, also resulted in a victory for the Swedes', by a score of 29 to 13. The last game of the season was played with St. John's University and re- sulted in a victory for our team. The final score was 22 to 14. The prospects for next season are exceptionally bright. The loss of Captain Enstad and Heimark will be severely felt, but from the wealth of material on hand, Captain-elect Walledom will be able to find men who possess more than usual ability in basket-ball. 231 6 i I XX., l 1 , ,nv as -W-if 31- 'F' 4 qi ,Q ..-'L 5 1 ah Q 4.

Captain joe has been a member of the team for four years. His weight and his knowledge of the game have made him a tower of strength in every game. Last season joe was switched from center to forward, but he prov- ed himself equally a star there. His accurate basket shooting combined with his aggressiveness have made him a player to be feared by all opposing teams. He graduated last spring and his loss will be keenly felt. Julius l-leimark l... F. 'juli' has played on the team one year. He received his preliminary training in inter-class basket-ball and as a member of the second team. He passes the ball ac- curately and with precision. He is light, but his quick- ness and accuracy of play cover up the deficiency in weight. He also graduated last spring and we are sorry to lose him. V 232 John Walledom L. G. Captain-Elect When Wallie is at his best there is some- thing doing all the time. He has played on the team two years. His ag- gressiveness a 1 w a y s plays havoc with the op- posing forward, and time after time he holds his man to no basket. He was unanimously chosen captain for the coming season by his team- mates and he possesses their full confidence. Carl Aabye C. Aabye is one of the new men on the team. He has been a member of the academy basket- ball team and his work there gave evidence of his value as a player. His speed and grit com- bined with his unerring eye for the basket make him a very valuable man of the team. Aabye has several years yet to play and much is expected of him before he graduates.

That was the goal toward which the eyes of the St. Olaf racquet vvielders Were strained when practice opened for the season of IQI2. Miserable Weather made consistent Work impossible and, now that the season is a thing of the past, we may say in retrospection that most of the practice was obtained in actual tournament. When Jupiter Pluvius closed the flood-gates for a breathing spell, we were treated to a bewildering assortment of healthy, aggressive Winds, and when the Wind took a vacation alongside the rain, then cold and chill settled on the courts, producing a combination of disappoint- ments. Yet the team candidates nervily stuck to the task of overcoming the weather man, and with the initial victory over Carleton the right sort of confidence took hold of the men. Five tournaments were Won in quick succession and on May 30th the stage was set for the real test, when Macalester was engaged for the title. After many brilliant flashes of real tennis it was left to Rovelstad and Roe in doubles to clinch the honors for St. Olaf. Richards of Macalester pushed an alley drive over the back line and the match was decided. St. Olaf had Won her first state collegiate tennis championship-. The season was remarkable in sev- eral respects: more tournaments were played than ever before in one seasong six tournaments were played and won in the exceptionally short period of three weeksg in no tournament were more than two matches lostg tennis was resumed at Carle- tong and Macalester and St. Thomas took up the game as an important feature of school athletics. The schedule: May 5-St. Olaf - 5 Carleton - - I May 25-St. Olaf - 4 Shattuck - - 2 May 13-St. Olaf - 5 St. Thomas - I May 26-St. Olaf - 4 Luther - - I May 24-St. Olaf - 6 St. Thomas - 0 May 30-St.Olaf - 5 Macalester - I The second Carleton date that had been arranged had to be cancelled on ac- count of threatening weather, but this did not alter the claim to supremacy in the least. Mohn and Olson played excellent doubles throughout and linished the sea- son With a string of five victories. Rovelstad's standing in six single matches was unmarred by defeat. We are especially pleased to note'the increased interest in the game as evinced by both faculty and student body. The courts looked far bet- ter this spring than ever before. All four of them were used continually during the past season and the attendance at tournaments was good, taking into consider- ation the lack of conveniences. The enthusiasm for tennis at the other colleges in the state was stimulated wonderfully, largely through the efforts of our manager, and we hope to see state inter-collegiate elimination tournaments in the near fu- ture. 236 ,1 :-- 53-Q 1 1' - 1 X ig uf - ,Jw -2 -Q-1'tifn'f skid , tfgiiiii , :ga ,- Q ' A S.

In former years great interest was shown in the early part of the season, but it soon vvaned and the full schedule was never played. In 1911, however, the l 3 1 '12 TEAM-CHAMPIONS 1911 playing of games Was arranged systematically, and the complete schedule was played. The championship of the season was won by the Senior team. The Vffv -THIN . ' I ' ' X13, - -. , Sophomores made a strong bid for first honors, but were defeated by the upper classmen in the final game. . All of the games were well played.

Line plunging and open- dj X? , style football were both used to good advantage. The teams were all pretty well matched. The Freshmen were light, but made up this dehciency by a speedy back- '13 TEAM field. The other four teams had heavy and powerful lines, but their back Held men were not as fast as the Freshmen. ' On October 21 the Seniors and juniors lined up for a game which was hard fought from the very start. Both teams relied mostly on forward passes and end runs. The Seniors out-played the Juniors in the line, thus enabling their back held men to get plays off to better advantage. The junior team, however, put up one of the best tights of the season. In the second quarter the twelvers scored a touch- 242 Q.

The juniors f fa Eg fought desperately in an effort to score, but were unable to carry the ball over the goal line. Iust before the close of the last quarter the Seniors annexed a safety, J making the final score 8 to o. f E - -r- rr x ' :fam -' ' xl! , '14 TEAM T I ' On November 6th the Sophomores and Freshmen gave an excellent exhibi- tion of old style football. The field was wet and slippery, and line bucking was relied on entirely. The Sophomore backs and tackles plowed through the Fresh- man line almost at vvill, but could not score. Whenever their goal was in danger the Freshmen braced and held. In the kicking department the Freshmen had the edge on their rivals. The game ended in a scoreless tie. The season of IQI2 was just as successful as the season of 1911 in every re- spect. The teams played consistently and gave good exhibitions of football throughout the entire season.

Taking a glance back at the seasonls of IQII and IQI2 we find that St. Olaf College has splendid material for an inter-collegiate football team. There is a large number of big, scrappy men from which a powerful team could be built. A good share of these men have played football at high schools and know the game. Few Minnesota colleges playing inter-collegiate football can boast of better mate- rial for a team than we have at St. Olaf College. Furthermore, there is a disa- greeable spirit of sectionalism that eventually creeps into the classes of a college where the interest of the classes is centered in inter-class games. The loyalty and spirit of the students for their college should be fostered and not endangered by athletics. S-uch a spirit is apt to be the result of inter-class football. There can be but one solution-that of establishing inter-collegiate football at St. Olaf Col- lege. A football team representing the College and chosen from the best football men in the College would not only call forth and foster College spirit, but it would also be an advertisement and drawing card for the College. Soccer Football at St. Olaf College Soccer football is the latest athletic activity taken up at St. Olaf College. With the coming of Physical Director Anderson in the fall of IQII soccer foot- ball was introduced. The men seemed to take to it eagerly, and a large number elected soccer in preference to cross-country running as their physical culture work. The result was that Director Anderson had a large number of men out to learn the game. From a spectator's standpoint it seems that it must be a trifle embarrassing for the shins, but the players say that such is not the case. It is a good healthful game and provides exercise for men who are not physically fit for rugby football. There was no organized teams during the season, but at the close of the sea- son two teams were picked, one to represent the College and the other to represent the Academy. A game was played between these two teams which resulted in a 1 to O victory for the collegians. It was a hard tussle from whistle to whistle and anybody's game until the final gong. just before the close of the first half the col- lege team scored a point by a rush of their forwards. Both teams played a good game. The liberal number of spectators were satisfied that soccer was a good sport as well as a healthful exercise. i 245 75 N., 'Nuf- xy-L Ex .1 - - -' -'X'- - -XX,- Nk Va-.W 'V' Jw' 1 1- s W VJ' Q x-'4' Q g, 1.-A ff K-N Q Q. V X. si? - -Ass -gi -- The season of 1912 was marked by great progress in soccer. The men were more familiar with the game and played with more confidence. Then, too, soccer football was taken up in much the same manner as rugby. A series of games was played between the classes of the College and the Academy. The latter team was finally credited with the championship, after defeating the junior team in the last game of the season on November 11. COLLEGE TEAM, 1911 Looking over the seasons of 1911 and 1912 we see that soccer football has grown steadily and become popular with the men. Wlien we judge by the inter- est taken in soccer, we must say that the sport has a place at St. Olaf College. It is a good, healthful sport and provides abundant exercise for a large number of men. 246 .1 'if af-.Z - . - -4: F- -xr. -v . ,.fi- A - - --- if--:rf .,...,.,. ear.: 1 '-Nh. - Mwlgf-. J Mya!!

T lze Track Team Although St. Olaf has never turned out a championship team in this line of athletics there always has been a growing interest in track and field sports. In the early days of St. Olaf track teams the weights received the burden of atten- tion, but after the new quarter mile track was completed in 1907 every one of the regular track and field events were crowded with Olympic champions in the rough. Still, track athletics have never reached the pinnacle attained by baseball, basket- ball, and tennis. t Our history of track work begins with the present century. In IQO3 the Manitou Messenger prints some interesting rules governing this team: QU, All who wish to become members of the track team must apply for membership before the end of the Fall semester. Czb, All absences must be excused by the captain. Cgj, Any member who has more than five unexcused absences in one term will 248 wg- 'N' asf N. 1 x ! f' X ...----g-::, ..: 1 ff l. J ,' g.,-4+ ,-:- ,,..,-- 'X--'.,, - fx-L., -F B be dropped from the team. Tn the spring of 1904 we read that the track team and pole-vaulters are doing as well as can be expected, Grondahl and Knutson are tossing the hammer, shot, and discus in such a manner that even Manager Holland is compelled to smile with satisfaction. But practically all the showing made by St. Olaf teams in the early days was made by Knut Christenson, the giant weight man who for a long time held the state record of 114.5 feet for the hammer. New enthusiasm was injected into track work by the completion of the quar- ter mile track in 1907, and by the arrival of Alfred O. Anderson from the Uni- versity of' Chicago Where he had been a member of the Midway team for one year. Staggfs enthusiasm for this line of activity was thus brought to St. Olaf and our track teams began to pick up. In 1907 Hamline was met at Hamline with the odds against St. Olaf after a good meet ending in a 44 to 87 finish. In the following year, 1908, Carleton was tied in a dual meet on Laird Field, 54M to 545, this be- ing the best showing to date made by a St. Olaf track team. Since 1908 the team has gone into various dual and triangular meets with Carleton and Shattuck, but with results not worth bragging about. The bright- est part of track Work of late years has been the annual inter-class track meet. The championship banner and the prizes have always been the object of much ef- fort. During the first three years of this meet the class of 1909 carried off the honors, in 1910 the class of 1913 won, in 1911 the class of IQI4j and in 1912 the class of 1915 were ready winners over the 1913 squad, their closest competitors for victory. A summary of the inter-class meet in 1912 proves conclusively that St. Olaf has the making of a first class track team. VVith Coach Anderson's knowledge and experience in track work a husky lot of athletes were prepared for this meet. After the smoke of battle had disappeared the Freshmen came forth with the greatest number of blue, red, and white scalps on their breasts, all of which amounted to 50 points. The juniors came second, and with four men captured 39 points. Then came the Sophomores with 30 points and the Academy with I2 points. The individual stars were Natwick, with 18 points by winning the 120 hurdles, pole-vault, high jump, and second in the shotg Norby, who captured I5 points by Winning the 220 hurdles, shot, second in the broad jump, and third in the discus and high hurdles, jorgen johnson, who took I5 points, taking the two dashes and the broad jump 5 and Walledoiii, who had no difiiculty in carrying off the prizes in the 880-yard run and the 440-yard dash, besides taking second in the broad jump. Although no state records were broken, and although many of the previous St. Olaf records were not touched, yet this meet, with the large number of entries augurs well for the future track teams at St. Olaf College. 249 , ... -- --Z-'-'?'1 --+4 O l r , , ...L,-zzxvi. 3-- Nlf' TA, ' 4, 2 51.

T he First St. Olaf Gym Team If Ludwig jahn, the father of German turning, could have witnessed the activities of the St. Olaf gym team during the winter of IQI 1-12 he certainly would have been highly pleased. For St. Olaf is now represented by a gym team, which, for a new organization, made a splendid record during its first year of ex- istence. Gymnastics, which have hitherto been nihil at St. Olaf, now bids fair to become one of the important activities on Manitou Heights. It was some weeks after November Sixth, IQI I, that the first meagre-attempts were made by Physical Director Anderson to kindle interest in a gymteam. Those of the students who had on them anything of the contortionist line were urged to keep at it. A few shoulder stands on the parallels, coupled with some knee circles 250 .J- .xy 0'-:gf ..., -.. - -if-.. ' ,. - 5-.. -stil? .- -1 -- . -f- - ' -.-,cf ,.- - - awk., ,., ..:4 - -. - ,gh . r' .K on the high bar were the only indications of German turning present. Among the pioneer gymnasts were Martin Bergheim and Oscar Hofstad ,I2, together with Karl Kildahl '13, and Endre Anderson JI4, the latter being able to walk on his hands. But it was not until the following February that a special practice period was set aside in the gymnasium for the prospective gym team and this moveigave im- petus to gymnastics. Some twenty men responded to the call for candidates. From now until the last meet was finished the development of the gym team was rapid. Plans were put on foot to give a home exhibition, to meet Carleton in a dual, and to enter the Northwestern Gymnastic Meet held at the University of Minnesota. Sixteen men were used for the home exhibition. This was given on Saturday night, March 16, in connection with a reception to the victorious debating teams. An orchestra furnished music as Captain Martin Bergheim and his followers of Father Iahn began their fancy marching drill. A beautiful free hand ,drill with the men in pyramid formation on the floor followed. The work on the parallels surprised those who had expected to see an amateur performance. The spring- board stunts were also of the hair-raising type, being topped off with a flying som- ersault by Endre Anderson over six men. Pyramid building on parallel bars con- cluded the performance. The following men took part in this initial show: Capt. Bergheim, O. I-Tofstad, Endre Anderson, A. Christopherson, Rude Hauge, L. Hof- stad, W. Mauseth, K. Kildahl, G. Peterson, S. Skaar, M. Vevle, S. Kaldem, F.. Torblaa, and L. Myhre. Philip Nelson was also a member but had sprained his ankle in an attempt to learn the somersault. On March 23 the gym team together with thirteen other teams competed in the Northwestern Gymnastic Meet at the University of Minnesota, and made as good a showing as could be expected under the circumstances. The team had a central location on the great Armory floor when the mass drill was given to the accompaniment of the band. In the individual exercises on the horse, high bar, and parallels the 12-man team made a good showing although winning no medals. All of the men except two were awarded certificates of merit representing work that was above the 75 average. St. Olaf secured tenth place, defeating St. Johnis University, the Minneapolis Y. M. C.A., and the Hope Chapel teams. This great meet, more than anything else, added to the growing interest in gymnastic work at St. Olaf. A mock meet was pulled off with Carleton the following week with the advantage in points going to the team of many years standing. G ' Thus it is that gymnastic work received its first boost at St. Olaf. When the great value physically of this kind of training is understood by the future students at St. Olaf, there is no reason for thinking that this team will not flourish as other deserving teams have succeeded among the well-built Sons of the Vikings. 251 1 -:Al -Ab? ? fl 71. 4- 4 ,., 5 1 ' rr. fi 60 ?'?

In February of that year a number of enthusiasts organized a Winter Sports Club. The aim of this club was to promote out-of-door activities during the winter months. They thought that a sport that brought with it health, and kept up the spirit of the sturdy Viking ought to be encouraged. Prominent among the fac- ulty enthusiasts were President Kildahl, Professors Schmidt, Rolvaag, T-letle, and Noakes. A constitution was drawn up and accepted, a board of control for the following year was elected, and plans were made for the following season. As this season was short, not much was done. Two coasting bobs were invested in, and the Freshmen spent their spare moments coasting. In the fall of the year a few coasting enthusiasts set to work to build a new coasting road. The location of this road was suggested by Prof. I. Noakes and much praise is due him for its completion. By the sweat of their browsf' the coasters finally made a coasting road comparatively free from danger and every- thing was in readiness for a successful season, but as we were not favored with much snow that winter, the season was short. Five more bobs were purchased, however, and the short season was thoroughly enjoyed. As a concession to a few ski riders, and at the recommendation of Prof. Noakes, a twenty-five foot wooden ski scaffold was erected. The total appropriations for the year were two hundred dollars, and at the end of the season the club was owing one hundred dollars. The officers for the year were: President, E. Hervigg vice president, Ed. Tngvalsong secretary, T. S. Stockdal, treasurer, E. Rue 3 coasting road constructor, Lars Meyer , constructor of ski scaffold, Christian Anderson, assistant treasurer, Ruth Storlig skating manager, W. Tvedt. In the fall of the following year, nineteen eleven, the club was discouraged. It faced a debt of one hundred dollars and its membership had dwindled down to but a few loyal coasters. But a new board of control was elected and they imme- diately began work. The board elected were: President, T. S. Stockdal, vice president, E. K. Wickltindg secretary, Iorgen Johnson, treasurer, I. Lundeg as- sistant treasurer, Esther Gulbrandsong coasting manager, Ole johnsong skiing manager, W. Tvedt.- ' student body in chapel and asked for their manager, T. B. Bondhusg and skating The board called a meeting of the support in the execution of their plans. The board planned to improve the coast- tournament, and to rid themselves of the ing road, to boost skiing by giving a debt. The students, as usual, responded loyally and the membership of the club was swelled to over two hundred. The coasting road was made as safe as it was 254 -.f xy .253 - ---Q: :- -4-i ' .7-1 .. - f- '-f-,...,-'N '-'--: Cv:--.f -sac:-P .J..,,.,. -.-.- i,.i:-- f':.- - .--A - -..- gf- possible to make it. It was lighted by electric wires, safeguards were put along the road, and rigid rules for safety were drawn up and enforced. The coasting season of 1911-1912 was a success. A formal opening was held one line Saturday evening at which one hundred and fifty students enjoyed them- selves. Coasting at St. Olaf is not simply a matter of sliding down to the foot of a hill on a small sled and then pulling the sled up again. Our sleds are from twelve to sixteen feet long and accommodate up to eighteen passengers on each. The sleds tear down the road at the rate of fifty miles an hour and finally come to a stop about three city blocks below the foot of the hill. Then of course come the draw-backs. But horses can be used for this part of the coasting. No person can deny that coasting is a hne, invigorating sport. During the entire winter the road was kept in excellent condition by the volunteer work of the students. But the real success of the season was in skiing. The club planned a tourna- ment, and were highly elated by receiving the volunteer service of tive profession- al ski riders of Chippewa Falls, VVis., including Anders Haugen, the worldcham- pion, and his brother, Lars Haugen, the present holder of the national champion- ship. A preliminary contest was held in the early part of january in which the amateurs were chosen for the nnal tournament on january 15. The day of the big tournament was cold, the temperature being 20 below, but in spite of this the largest crowd that ever gathered on the Heights to witness an athletic contest came to watch our first great tournament. To show their enthusi- asm the most important places of business in the city, including the banks, closed during the tournament hours. The amateurs delighted the spectators with their falls, which were not always graceful. Some, however, completed the jumps suc- cessfully, and received medals as acknowledgement of their endeavors. But it was the professionals that interested the crowd the most. 'The grace and ease with which these air-men made the leaps through the air 'ftook the crowd and instilled in the amateurs a desire to equal their feats if possible. Other tourna- ments were planned, but unfavorable weather conditions prevented their taking place. The club, however, feels satished. Its great aims were accomplished- the coasting road was improved and made safe, the debt was cleared, and skiing became a popular sport at school, even among the fair sex. To prove this point it is needful merely to mention that two hundred dollars worth of skis were sold in the co-operative store of the club during the season. Much of the success of the season is due to the professionals, especially An- ders Haugen, who secured the service of his fellow professionals in order to in- troduce the skiing sport into American colleges. But were it not for the energetic leadership of its president the club would probably never have secured the assist- ance of the experts, the tournament would not have been staged, the debt would not have been removed, and skiing would not have been the popular sport it came to be after the tournament. 255 L. wif ,Ji .-,.,g-.-. ,-, HA Xi.. +12 4' 5- Q 5' t-S 'I rf WX mx But great as was the success of last season the club is not yet contented.

The board elected to serve for the season of IQI2-I3 are: President, E. K. Wickltindg vice president, Ole johnson, secretary, Ruth Storli, treasurer, Stanley Ramseth 3 assistant treasurer, Marie 'Tangjerdg coasting man- ager, Richard Idtseg skiing manager, T. B. Bondhus. The club plans to do more for the skaters but at the present it seems an im- possibility to improve conditions. It seems best to co-operate with the down town rink and secure reductions in rates as was done last season. The club also plans to form an inter-collegiate skiing conference and to enter into competition with the other colleges of this and neighboring states. Not much can be said as to the success of this plan until next season, but it is thought that other colleges will take up the sport as enthusiastically as St. Olaf College, and that skiing will be as pop- ular an inter-collegiate sport as football and baseball are at the present time. 256 .if C-Q41 ..-Q-, QQ: ,...- - .--, ggi- --.W Bl J... k?

Pd lx. .fox-A -121, 7 Cv 51 The Moniton Messenger is the St. Olaf representative in the field of College Journalism. it is no new-comer, for it has been making its representative calls since 1887, and it has always proved to be a welcome guest, not only among the students, but also among the Alumni and friends of St. Olaf College. The Illaniton .Messenger is published each month during the academic year, and has as its avowed purpose to publish the best literary work accomplished by the studentsg to chronicle and comment on the news of the Collegeg and to serve the Alumni Association and the St. Olaf Association as a means of inter-communicationf, The Manitou Messenger is a growing publication. This is true not only in regard to size, but also in regard to matter, number of departments, and general excellency. In reviewing the different departments, we have the Literary department in which is found the best ora- tions, essays, stories, and poems of student authorshipg the Editorial department, which gives recourse to the anonymous writer, and has always been characterized as the strong and reliable section of the journal, the Locals department, which is perhaps appreciated more than any other part of the Messenger, because of its newsy and spicy nature, the Athletic department, which also comes in for a good share of the interest, especially during the basket- ball and baseball seasons. Then we have the Societies, the Exchanges, the Religious Organizations, the Seminary Notes, the Alumni, and the Association departments, all which have their place in the Messenger, and offer their special attractions. On the Whole the Manitou Messenger can be classed as truly representative of our College, and as such it deserves the support of all students, alumni, and friends of St. Olaf College. 260 +- ery :5 f' 'SLS' . . ..f G!

A Luther League No Sunday at St. Olaf would seem quite complete without the regular meet- ing of the Luther League in the Chapel amid the quiet and peace of the twilight hoursgwhich seem so eminently appropriate for this period of sacred service. The Luther League is a religious organization of the students and conducted by them. It aims to enroll every student at the institution among its members and secure his active participation in the work. Aside from the Sunday school service which constitutes a regular part of every service, the program consists of a paper or a reading, a music number, and a short talk. The topics published by the Na- tional Luther League, or those used by the Young Peoplels League are frequently used as the basis for these talks and papers. Often, however, subjects irrespective of these are treated, dealing with problems that are of vital consideration in their relation to the Christian life, and particularly in their bearing upon student life. Occasionally addresses are given by members of the faculty or outside speakers. In this connection it may be mentioned that one of our meetings last year was con- ducted by a number of the students attending the United Church Seminary. To develop mission interest and activity among the students addresses by returned missionaries are at times given under the auspices of the League. Furthermore, the reports of delegates to the various conventions, such as those of the Young People'sLeague, Students' Union, and Student Volunteer Movement, regularly constitute a part of the Luther League program. It is likewise under the aus- pices of the League that St. Olaf as a member of the Students, Union is helping maintain Missionary Erik Sovik in Sinyang, China. Thus in all its lines of activ- ity it can be truly said that the aim of the Luther League is the widening of the spiritual vision and the development of a broader, deeper, and fuller Christian life among the students. 263 ,.f-5. x15- X f .r f-- 'W ,2 .

W. C. A. As the result of a long felt need, the Young VVomen's Christian Association was organized at St. Olaf College in the fall of IQOQ. Too much credit cannot be given the group of earnest young Women, now Alumnae of this institution, who made the Association possible to the girls at St. Olaf. The organization is a pure- ly local one and has no affiliation with the great state and national associations, yet is striving in a small measure to live up to the ideals of the world Wide move- ment. Though still in. its infancy the association has a membership of 114, nearly 75 per cent of the girls enrolled at school. The average attendance at the regular Thursday evening meetings for the year 1911-1912 was fifty. The weekly meetings are devotional in character. Through them it is intend- ed that every girl shall get the spiritual aid and inspiration which she so much needs in her college life. The meetings are for the most part in the hands of the girls themselves, but occasionally faculty members and others are invited in to Y. W. C. A. Cabinet l 1 Standing-Anna Kildahl, Agathe Stange, Ella Hjertaas, Nora Knutson.

A mission meeting is held once a month that the girls may keep in touch with the great evangelization movement. The nature of the programs is illustrated by the following subjects discussed in the meetings of last year: The Pearl of Great Price, Christ as a Man of Prayer, The Value of Daily Bible Reading, Purity of Heart, College Girls' Idols,', f'The Still Hourf' Slum Work, and Indian Missions. And since it is true that there can be no sincere christian life except it find expression in works, the Association seeks to be of service in a practical way. At the opening of the school year the membership committee is at the stations to meet the new girls, care for their baggage, and direct them to their places. The social committee has as its special charge all girls who are ill or homesick. A Hower, a bit of fruit, or an Association card with a helpful verse of Scripture upon it has often radiated a great deal of sunshine. The holidays are observed in some special way. At Thanksgiving, a needy widow was remembered with a box of delicacies. The Christmas joy in the hearts of the girls found expression in a box of toys for the boys and girls at Wittenberg, and a barrel of clothing to be distributed among the poor in the slums of Chicago. Neither should the social side of the Association work be forgotten. It is the only organization at school to which all the girls are eligible. Its democratic spirit is its strong point. Class and society distinctions are forgotten and the girls meet on common ground. S-everal informal social functions are planned each year, the most novel one for last year being a watermelon spread held for the new girls in the fall. The Association also conducts a reading room where the girls have access to some of the best current literature of the day. The Young Wo1nen's Christian Association, the world over, has certain ideals for which it strives. Religiously, it should mean closer communion with God, more love, faith, and peace. Morally, it should mean an elevation of the standards of living, higher ideals of right conduct. Socially, it should mean a feeling of sisterhood, less of the condescending, partrician attitude, and more of the Christ- like humility toward our fellowmen. How far the local organization has succeed- ed in the realization of these ideals is not for us to say, yet those who are familiar with the work recognize the Association as one of the great, vital forces for high- er and better things in the student life at St. Olaf. 265 W titfkfr uw, , kiwi' -241, -T'-RL'- lb- psf E- X -gf -4 :I ,. fi. ,-...,-:-.- Wk X x .I f y - fig JN, - -1Lz- x I W V ., ,wi '25 T 3 T459 Jax? Mission Classes I-CHINA AND INDIA MISSION CLASS. We as college people in the continual turmoil of pressing duties are apt to forget the urgent Macedonian cry for help in the mission fields. To broaden our mission interest, to make our duty as Christians more vital, the China and India Mission Class has been organized so as to acquire a better knowledge of the ex- isting conditions in those far off countries, Still, to a great extent, held in bondage by the powers of darkness. With renewed interest, with hearts burning with zeal and love, the class has met week after week during the past school year. The first study was that of the mysterious land of China, which for twenty-tive hun- dred years has been isolated from the world, but which the power of the Gospel is awakening to a new life, a new destiny. Later the study of India was pursued. We have been brought to see how the hand of the Almighty has wielded the sceptre there also, and how Christianity is destined to conquer, if we but offer our fervent prayer, our humble service. If we can but let into some soul a little light, If we some pathway dark and clreatry can 7'67'lfCi67' bright, If 'we to one in gloom cah show the love of Christ, Though ho 1'e'wa1fd we win, we shall be satisfied. II-I-IOME MISSION CLASS. The class in home missions is composed of about thirty-live members who meet every Friday evening for the purpose of studying every phase of this broad subject. To make the meetings interesting and profitable, a different leader is chosen for each session and reports, readings, papers, and discussions are given by four or live members. The work has been treated under the topics of seamenls missions, frontier missions,'missions among the Indians, immigrant missions, the Negro in the South, city missions, etc. Increased knowledge of these subjects has not only awakened sympathy for the need of immediate evangelization, but has also created an interest in the various ways used to uplift the modern large city, such as those of slum work, social settlement work, night schools, the Y. M. C. A., the Y. W. C. A., and Boys' clubs. Several reference books have been used and the students have shown their interest by making free use of magazines and cur- rent periodicals. During the first half of last year the class made a thorough 266 'Na .., 1 jj , .---ig-15: QCTI l I ij :ZETAYT lf? ?jfi,fs3'f,,.' study of Mohammedanism, and the countries under its sway, as given by Dr. :za Sf-x Zwemer in his Islam. These lessons were found to be broadening, because many 3, Q E new ideas of the intellectual, social, and spiritual condition of the natives of these J countries were gained, and many hearts were touched by the plea for workers in the unoccupied fields of the East. With last yearis progress as an incentive, and with committees appointed which began work immediately after school opened last fall, the class is well under way to do more eflicient work in the future. Prayer Meeting The prayer meeting, as its name suggests, is a time set aside for the set pur- pose of communicating with our Lord and God. Such a meeting is conducted by the boys every Thursday evening, with the purpose of interesting as many young men of the school as possible in true Christian living. The meetings are informal, and the program consists of the singing of hymns, offering up of prayer, and dis- cussions on a religious topic suggested by the leader. It seems at times that such an organization is entirely superfluous, since we have weekly services on Sunday, daily chapel exercises, and besides a study of religion required in our curriculum. But we are reminded of a saying of Luther which reads, Well prayed is half learned. And so we feel that even when we are the busiest, the time spent in prayer and supplication is not wasted. May the work of this organization be crowned with success, so that it may be a blessing to many. The Students' Union Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. Phil. 4 :8. These are the words of introduction through which we must make our acquaintance with the 'Students' Union. They form the motto of the organization. We need no further assurance that the subject before us is an extensive one, and in our lirst lesson we can only consider some of the most important facts, each one of which could be expanded and treated as a theme of an essay, a paper or an oration. Although great and extensive in its present state of being, our Students' 267 X x.. X' - xyfff A.,-N,-f -L --1.1.4 -N .,-L7'-+,. .-,,a,h,-..1- - '.

It really seems to have reach that of its imago, and can then be compared with an adult form which still changes and expands before it is fully matured. We know the nature of its heart, the spirit which it breathes forth, its purpose for existing, and we can even guess at the appearance of the main features of the mature body 3 but we do not yet know even the number of its final appendages. Its life giving germ sprang into existence only eleven years ago, when the students of the United Church felt the need of some organization that would serve as a bond of union between them. This could only be affected by creating some common aim that would appeal to the interest of all, and as a result the first stages of the Union was formed. It had no homely Ugrub-stage. The- very first visible form was a beautiful chrysalis, to which the aim of the body might be compared after it was expressed in these words: The aim of the Students' Un- ion shall be to foster the spirit of unity among the students at the schools of the United Church, and to awaken a more intelligent interest in the various activities of that great church bodyf' This was the beginning which expanded-not by en- tire changes and stages of metamorphosis-but by the process of, rapid addition. The chrysalis finally burst open and revealed an extensive, living, and active body which to-day comprises all the students, graduated members, and professors of the United Church, and joins them in a rally for the accomplishment of one great obj ect, Tn our study of the history of this development we ind that the first ques- tion to be decided was that of membership. The aim, as it was framed and ac- cepted, included Hstudents at the schools of the United Church,', and the original membership article considered students, graduates, and professors of all schools that are supported by the United Church fit material for the body. Later it was realized that this excluded many persons who are active members of the Lutheran Church, but who study at our universities and state schools. These students do not only greatly need the inspiration and support that they might receive as mem- bers of such an organization, but the Union needs them for the additional benefit they render. To remedy this fault, the membership article has twice been amend- ed. In IQO4 at Canton, S. D., the first change was made, and finally at Waldorf in IQI 1, the following amendment was added: Lutheran students at institutions of higher learning organized on the principles laid down by the constitution of the Students' Union may be admitted to the Union on equal terms with students of the United Church schools. W'e have now considered a Union with a motto, an aim, and an extensive and complete membership. What about its activities? During the first six years of its existence little was accomplished. This was the stage in the development of our organization which after all does resemble the grub-stagei' of the butterfly in the fact that it only consumed and added to its own dimensions, gathering ma- 268 ...f 0'-Q? K' terial with which to nourish and shape itself for the next stage of altruistic activi- ty. Or, this first might be called a Hsubjectivel' stage as compared to a later ob- jective one. The first sign of readiness for this change appeared at an animal meeting of the Union which, according to the rotary order of such meetings was held at Madison, Minn., Normal in February, 1907. Mr. C. Tharaldson, who was then a delegate from St. Olaf College, made a motion that the Students' Union support a missionary in China. This motion was carried, and gave shape to the first objective aim of the Union. To provide a fund with which to accomplish this aim, the system of an individual tax was suggested, but the amount to be levied was left to the decision of the next student body. Another motion followed which stated that all the schools of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church should be urged to join the Union. These motions added to the constitution changed the nature of the organization such that in place of a body with lofty aims we now have one of actual deeds. Witli this beginning real life manifested itself rapidly, and new activities and wider aims have been attributed each year. At this point our lesson changes. Vlfe continue to study the history of the devel- opment of our organization by studying the evolution of this new object, as the concernment which directs its activities, and consequently its growth. The next annual meeting of the Union was held at St. Olaf College, Feb. 24, 1908. A motion was carried to the effect that the Students' Union extend an offer to the Mission Board to support a missionary in China. But at this same meet- ing reports from the various schools revealed the fact that suflicient funds for this purpose could not be raised by levying a uniform tax on each student without danger of making the burden seem heavy to those of smaller means. It was there- fore decided that no tax be levied, but that the students of the United Church con- tribute voluntarily. If this donation should be found insufficient, it would be left with the Mission Board to supply the deficiency. The missionary then chosen to represent the Students' Union in the foreign field is a St. Olaf Alumnus, Rev. Erik Sovik of China. At present the Union is not only interested in this one mis- sionary, but in its missionary family comprising four members. Mrs. Sovik, whose native city is St. Paul, has for nearly seven years proven herself to be a faithful and successful co-worker. The year nineteen hundred and twelve she is spending in America on her first furlough, while Rev. Sovik is devoting his time to further study in Leipsig, Germany. Many members of the present student gen- eration have learned to know Mrs. Sovik during her visit to her native country, and through this acquaintance the interest and esteem with which we regard our very own missionaries has been greatly animated. The two junior members, who accompany their mother, deserve prominent places as well. Little Miss Gertrude is not yet of school age, but she can converse intelligently in four different lan- guages. Baby Edgar is just big enough for his first overalls. He has only invent- ed a language of his own as yet, but promises to astonish the world some day. 269 1 T1 f4 1 : H 'TL'-P Q'- 'Ef sf K. i ,- Tfk X 'ex N.

At the meeting of 19o9, held at Concordia College, financial secretar- ies were elected at the different schools. On Feb. 27-28, IQIO, at Canton, S. D., a suggestion was made to amend the constitution so that Lutheran students and those closely affiliated with the Lutheran Church in our state schools may become members of this Union by submitting to its rules. This was framed as a motion to stand for consideration until the next regular meeting, when it was added to the constitution as an amendment to the membership article in the form already stated. At the meeting of IQIO it was further decided to establish a field secre- taryship to encourage mission studies at the various schools, and to inspire general interest in missions. It was further resolved: That we urge the publication of a text-book in the English language, containing the history and needs of our mis- sions in China and Madagascar. At this same meeting a hnal revision of the ar- ticle on finance arranged for the apportionment of a definite missionary contribu- tion to each school. This system has now been twice tried and seems to prove successful. ' The last convention of the Students' Union was held at the U. C. Seminary, St. Paul, in the winter of 1912. This might be called a session of review, of self- inspection, and of revision. The organization proved to be far-reaching in its ex- tensiveness, and far-advanced in its development. It has a motto, an aim, a com- plete body of members, and a definite object as a center of interest and ambitions, but there seemed to be a certain looseness in its construction. To remedy this de- fect a committee of three was appointed to revise the constitution. Because of this ever growing state of existence our Students' Union may resemble a body con- stantly changing its exterior form by developing new appendages, but the great and general features here mentioned will ever remain the same. It will ever breathe forth the same significant message as a motto: Whatsover things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. -IOHANNA L.

Your Alma Mater greets you. To you, who have gone far upon life's pathway, who have begun to realize that life is earnest, who, may- hap, have gotten hoary-haired and bent in shouldering your end of the load, to you she sends her greeting. To you, who have but just entered upon life's duties, who vividly retain the memories of college days, to you, also, she sends her greet- ing. Though the years since you left your Alma Mater's care be many or few, and even though yourrmemories of her are bedimmed, she loves you still. She keeps her vigilant eye upon you still. Time has wrought many changes in these thirty-eight years of her existence. The 'fforest primeval no longer covers the Heights of Manitou, to be the home of wolves, and the place where St, Olaf maidens might get lost should they wan- der too far from the Old Ladies' Hallf' A well laid out campus, unequaled in its natural beauty, is hers to-day. You old-timers may remember the time when the Old Main housed all the students and some of the faculty members, and served the combined purpose of a recitation hall, dining room, dormitory, and of- fice. As sciences were not dealt with then as now, those days did not have need of laboratories. Its dormitory and culinary functions were eliminated from the list of its duties when the Men's Dormitory was built, and then it was elevated to the position which it now holds, the exalted position of administration building and recitation hall. A , There was a time when the gym', was the St. Olaf auditorium, when that was the only place where recitals, chapel exercises, and commencement exercises could be held. This, too, has been changed, and the Hoyme Memorial Chapel built to meet the demands. Then came the Library, and, last but far from least, the Mohn Hall. Those who were instrumental in erecting the Chapel little real- ized that the day was so near when an increased study body would necessitate the use of every seat on the main Hoor and even some in the balcony. At one time a graduating class of fifty was a dream. This year will see that dream come true, for the class of 1913 numbers more than sixty strong. Other changes have followed these. The front hill no longer satisfies the ski- jumper. A steel scaffold has been erected to satisfy his fastidious taste. The Nroad by the library is too gentle a slope for the more ambitious coaster, and to- day we have a half-mile slide, which is also equipped with electric lights. Origin- ally baseball was the only form of college sport, basket-ball, tennis, and inter-class football have now been added to the list. In the forensic field, too, the sons and daughters of the Vikings have shown themselves able to cope with their Yankee neighbors. 274 N., -gel' if X awk r' f -- -- 4: L q3'TT f 1 if ,L- -KEFAT 2' - ,,.,,- ,VW gg ' ,tagc- ,-1 N:-Q' -2- - - a- -,jLli1'.-,:,- But, in spite of these material changes, in spite of the rapid expansion of her ii field of activity, it is the same Alma Mater who greets you to-day, oh ye Alumni, that welcomed you to her fold perhaps years ago. Her students may come and go, her faculty roll may increase from time to time, but her spirit remains the same. The fun-loving spirit may change the fashion of college pranks, but her ideals will remain unalterably the same in the future as in the past. It was a goodly ves- sel, strong and staunch, that her worthy founders built, to have withstood the vicissitudes of these thirty-eight years. Your Alma Mater has done well in pre- serving the principles for which she stands. Thus, as the undergraduate, we may, by reason of time and distance, be widely separated from you, sons and daughters of St. Olaf, yet our common inliuence forms a band of union between us. Though our lot in life be cast here or in the foreign field, the same storms will lash us, the same sun warm us. A common scholastic training makes a common view- point through which the great facts of life must appear much alike to us. We all bear the same honored ear-mark. Thanks to the wisdom of our loving teachers, who seek to provide strength of character rather than mere finish So we, who have yet a while to remain in the places we love, bring to you, who have gone be- fore us, the sincerest wishes of our Alma Mater. Hail, and farewell. THE ALUMNI GARDEN 275 ,L X. 'LWR C QP- 1. .,: . T-5 -4- 5 'B . X ,f-N,-f --,:7- . N, ww,- 'fwf- --3,-2-X-.A -wwf -.,47 :'tq?

I simply couldn't do it. But please remember my present sur- roundings, and believe that the class of IQIO has no member more loyal than this one, and you will understand partly. I too, have been teaching-not aborigines as yet-but three of the most wide- awake, intelligent young folks that it has ever been my good fortune to meet. It is fortunate that none of you claim to have the most wonderful school in the world, for I am positive that there is not another school like mine on this side of the globe. You may be almost ready to agree with me when I inform you that I did not have a single pupil who did not rank highest in his class. VVe are on excellent terms, we who belong to the Kioshan School, and I have scarcely found occasion for even a frown during the entire year. My pupils left for their home on june first, and since then I have been trying to apply myself to my studies again. I find the language very interesting, and en- joy studying as much or even more than before. Some of you complain about missing Lutheran Church services and Norwe- gian people. What shall I say about that? Regularly, twice on every Sunday, I have attended the Chinese services in our chapel down town. Can you imagine how much I have been gathering out of that? It is only since my school closed that I have been able to understand part of what has been said. Now I can actually understand quite a little and am able to read the first six chapters of the Gospel of john without help from the teacher. I do not mean to say that I can read that well, because the tone has so much to do with this language, and I am told that a person who does not have a keen ear for music never can learn to speak well. I wonder if Mat-1-had any particular person in view when he spoke of the least musical member of the class. I should not have felt one bit hurt if that re- mark were aimed at me, because nsandheten maa taalesf' Until now Iihad actually planned not to break the three-hundred-word rule, but just now a friendly Chinese dignitary entered and handed me a brilliant, scar- let piece of paper. I could not make out all the characters written on it, but I've seen similar cards before, and knew that it was an invitation to a banquet. I'll just send the invitation with the letter. I hope you will pardon my lengthy epistle, but I must describe that feast. Was it anything like our Senior-junior banquet ? I seem to hear someone ask. 277 v A51 ..,.,-f ,-.3 511 If .-Q.,-thx if x 4- Q NL ,J 'Ts 5 sa- xr S,v-- ee- ra..1gjif-ifgriiljjj - :mmm v'-1,-tfljzr 'fer - 1' fa.--.a :N-fs fi GTM I No, you scarcely would have noticed any similarity. But one thing may have ap- ? 9 pealed to certain members of our class. The guests were not required to bring Zi? partners-in fact our worthy host would have been scandalized if they had. I-Ie had prepared, according to the good old Chinese custom, to entertain the ladies and the gentlemen in separate rooms. ' The banquet took place this afternoon. We waited politely until a messenger brought us word that the meal was ready, and then we set out. As soon as we had arrived at the home of our host, we were asked to be seated and a servant brought in the tea. The cups in which this was served had evidently been in use some time since they were washed, and some of them still contained a little cold tea and some tea leaves. Our kind host wished our tea to be good and warm and so poured the cold tea and the grounds on the floor-under the table, by the way, where we would not be apt to step in it. VVe sat there sipping our tea, chatting, and waiting for the next two hours. Now and then our host would appear, make some com- plimentary remark, and fill our tea cups again. I-Ie could not stop very long at a time, however, because the more important guests, the masculine department, need- ed his attentions. Finally the time-blackened table was wiped almost free from dust, and a pair of chopsticks was arranged for each guest. Then came the sweet- meats-several plates full of them-and we were invited to sit up. The seating of the guests took some time, as we must be very polite and push each other into the seat of honor. Finally we were settled down, and the meal began. I for one found it somewhat difficult to handle the chopsticks as yet, and my kind neighbors felt themselves called upon to come to my assistance. Each one would use her own chopstick and pile up the goodies on the table in front of me, and soon I found a pyramid of good things there. Meats, candies, rice, fish, pickles, bread, eggs Qsliced, hard boiledj i broderlig samdraegtighetf' I really tried my best to do jus- tice to this wonderful mixture in order to show my appreciation of the kindness of my new friends, but, believe me, it was not exactly an easy task to do. I should really have preferred boarding-club fare at St. Olaf, served according to our methods, especially now since Mr. Storholt has charge of the culinary department there. The last course consisted of soups--many different qualities of soup. We were all supposed to dip out of one bowl, and each of us was supplied with a little rough wooden ladle. There was one ladle that had been treated to a coat of var- nish and had a gilt handle. The tool was given to me because I must be among the well-read people since I am able to instruct the children of the foreigners. I felt in duty bound to say this, not because I am trying to compliment myself, but because I wished to show that the members of our class are honored even here in China. Seriously speaking, I am learning to like these wonderful people more and more in spite of their peculiarities. There are many good, noble men and women 278 .f 0'-mf K' L.--g:,L lg .n,.,.,. , -Qqaf g f ma., ig -H- ,tv,f- Qi -, ij -e.:-- .... ,,. -5 '- ,., - --- -f: - ,.,- J4- among them. I only hope and pray that I may get the right kind of love for them, such love as a true missionary should have for his fellowmen. I wonder how many of our classmates were gathered at St. Olaf for com- mencement. My thoughts were certainly with you then. We will never all meet at our Alma Mater again. Already one member of our class has gone to the eter- nal rest, and who knows how soon others will follow? May we all be truly great here on earth, and may every member be present at the great reunion in the King- dom of God. Greetings to all from MINA IORDETH-NOLD. The Present Trend of Medical Education A Not very many years ago all physicians, of whom a few are still active in the professiong were trained much as plumbers are now, that is by serving an appren- ticeship under a preceptor. The states did not care a great deal who practiced medicine and surgery nor how they were fitted for the work. With improving facilities for study the states made their license requirements more and more rigid. During the early eighties New York State required that a man attend four courses of lectures, two during each of two school years. As the school years lasted only six months a student could enter a medical school in March, attend until September, then take his second year at another school whose course conven- iently .began in September and ran to March. In this way it was possible to ac- quire a professional education with but one year of professional study. Prelim- inary education barely considered. As the loop holes were discovered the remedy was also found. This consisted in more rigid license requirements. It must, however, be said that as there were in the early days men whose ambition spurred them on to fit themselves as well as the existing limitations per- mitted, so there have been schools that were not contented with training men up to the requirements set by law. They went on ahead showing the way, and it is to them rather than the law making bodies that we are indebted for the care with which the state now hedges about the public. Not all present day medical schools are such Path Finders? The following story is told of one which escaped being discredited until july, IQI2. When Abraham Flexner called at the place while preparing his report on Medical Education for the Carnegie Foundation, the name Carnegie Foundation on his card gained him ready admittance. In his conversa- tion with the head of the school Mr. Flexner asked to see the department of physi- 279 g P ,1 -A 1 ,L :Xi :i-1:- -'-Fe L'- m 'f-.vf Qui' lf-9, is T' 'jmfx-Q. 'i I. N., xgs ology. His host pushed a button and spoke a few words to the man who answered the call. But, interrupted Mr. Flexner, I should like to see the department. Certainly, in just a minute. Presently the messenger returned carrying the SX ,. -,Ivy 'Wm ,aft -ff' , -M-evff -.VET imffa-L,vg: v 15C1, -..Q mn - that --f f'- J N - A-,,--Az? vb f 4-M si Q K5 ff GTC Q- Department of Physiology in a box as large as a safety razor case. Less than a mile away is a real Pathfinder whose department of physiology is worth as much as a section of good farm land. The modern trend in medical education includes more than the expenditure of fabulous sums for modern equipment. There are two other elements that give it color. One is a growing tendency to encourage independent research even in the undergraduate days. In this way the double purpose is served of working out many scientinc details as well as developing a keen appetite for future study. As the public's greater need is for men to prevent disease rather than cure it these laboratory-trained physicians are proving to be the best contribution of our age. The other element in the modern trend is an effort to replace what we lost when the system of apprenticeship went out of vogue. The reason for the change lay in the rapid development and a growing appreciation of the tremendous im- portance of the allied sciences. As these were best taught in schools the preceptors became antiquated, but with their passage went also the intensive bed-side train- ing that constituted their strong claim to existence. It is this loss that we are try- ing to make good, while retaining the good features of school training. Early efforts with this in view provided clinics. With the growth of hospitals opportun- ities for practical training also increased, allowing the more ambitious students to acquire bedside experience as internes. The plan of having recent graduates serve as resident staff has usually benefited both parties, but there are some who go directly into practice without such training. To obviate this several schools have instituted a system providing that a great part of the fourth year be spent in a hospital in clinical clerkship under the direct supervision of the faculty. This method can be followed with great profit if properly managed but otherwise can be a mere waste of valuable time. Still more recently some schools have required a fifth year devoted to hospital work under the direct supervision of the faculty or in a hospital approved by them. Where the school records show that many of the graduates either can not or will not serve a regular eighteen to twenty-four month interneship such a fifth year is greatly to be desired. Where, on the other hand, school records show that almost all go in for an interneship such a ifth year is apt to serve as a substitute for the longer term otherwise elected. At present the tendency is toward providing a wider range of experience and a greater efficiency before turning the fledglings loose on the unsuspecting public. A few schools set the pace and a host of others are making them scramble to main- tain the lead. NATHANAEL FEDDE, B. S., M.

What will you 'ave for breakfast, Sir ? The voice of the Scout with the slamming of the tub on the floor breaks rudely in upon the slumbers of the Oxford man and wakes him to the realization of another day. If the realization is slow in coming, the invariable cold tub will help to quicken the sluggish circulation and drive away any mists of sleep that may still be clouding his consciousness. At five minutes to eight the chapel bell begins to ring, and reminds him that a certain number of chapels or rollers are required per week or per term, and that if he through inadvertence or inertia falls short of the required number he will be gated, i. e., not allowed out of the college after curfew, until in this way the number has been made up. Rollers or roll-call may be done by those who 282 Af 5!' ,sf M have conscientious scruples against attending chapel services, and they consist in going to the Dean while the bell is ringing and wishing him good morning. The chapel services last twenty or twenty-live minutes and are purely liturgical in form. To one who is not acquainted with the English prayer book service it may at f1rst seem very formal or even perfunctory, but with growing acquaintance comes also increased appreciation of its beauty and dignity at least, if not more. If it is a cold and wet day, such as are not altogether uncommon, especially in the winter months, the chapel-goer will be glad, when he comes back to his rooms, to find the fire burning brightly in the sitter. In addition to the sitting room, which is usually large and comfortable, there is always a bedder and oc- casionally a study or Hthirderf' To these must be added the scouter or cup- board, where the dishes and necessary supplies are kept, for every man is a house- holder, prepared' on occasion to play the part of host. For this social part the system is admirably adapted, for the college. W'hile resembling a hotel in respect of having a common kitchen and buttery where one may order anything that wants suggest and purse permits, it is also much like a flat, in that most of the meals are taken in one's own rooms, and a certain part of the cooking, such as making tea, coffee, etc., is usually done there. But a college may also be said to partake of some of the characteristics of cloister and fortress, for if the old idea of a scholar pursuing his studies in quiet, apart from the noisy world has been changed by the growing recognition of the value of contact with humanity, the buildings and walls are still there, surrounding quad and college g and if there is no longer that bitter rivalry and enmity between town and gown, which sometimes resulted in deadly riots, the barred windows and ponderous gate still testify that the college can at will shut the populace out-or the undergraduates in! - And so it is mostly within his own college that the Oxford man gets his ex- perience of student life. Each college is an institution enjoying much indepen- dence, with its own endowments, its own administration, its own traditions. Of such colleges there are twenty, ranging in size from Christ Church with three hundred resident members, to Corpus Christi with eighty, and in addition there are two small halls for the few non-collegiate students. But where, as an American tourist is said to have asked after seeing several of the colleges, where is the university, the famous Oxford University ? The answer, that the colleges are the university, was substantially correct, for apart from them it really has no existence. They have much the same relation to each other as individual states to the federal state in our great republic. The university has its administration- and fees 5 it sets the examinations-unhappy thought! and grants degrees g but in their own sphere the colleges are independent. All lectures, however, whether given by university professor or college don are, with few exceptions, open to everyone. To the foregoing may be added that to be matriculated in the univer- sity one must first be a member of some college, unless admitted as non-collegiate. 283 T 1 : : -'L-f.-aw if E 2 -'Q nf .

Since the life of the student is so bound up with the college one would naturally expect to find some college spirit, and it is found at Oxford to a considerable de- gree, though it may not express itself in just the same way as on an American campus. But meanwhile our undergraduate is waiting for his breakfast, or he may perhaps be expecting some guests who are late. Breakfast is a favorite time for entertaining, and is, then, a rather elaborate, or at least substantial meal, quite dif- ferent from the Continental coffee and rollsf, Oatmeal porridge, ish, eggs-and- bacon fnot bacon and eggsj, and orange marmalade, with tea, coffee, or cocoa, would be an ordinary typical menu. Marmalade or jam is the invariable last PEMBROKE COLLEGE, OXFORD course. The former, also called squish, does not usually appeal to the foreigner at first, but soon comes to be classed with necessaries. 1 When no one wants any more marmalade the breakfasters come to sit or lounge a while before the fire. This is always the center of attraction in a room, so much so that when in the warmer summer months there is no fire it is greatly missed, just on that account. I say sit or lounge, because most of the Oxford man's furniture-also handed down from generation to generation-is of the kind built for comfort. This helps to give what has been called that air of repose, so characteristic a part of the Oxford atmosphere, and an element of which our American institutions, not to say our life in general, might well have a little more. From ten to one is the regular time for lectures-three periods 5 only occa- sionally do they begin at nine. Most students will have one or two lectures a day, more or less. This might seem to be rather a slight program, but the fact is that under the tutorial system attendance at lectures is not the most important 284 'X W J Y 'V X 7.41 ' av 1 U , -qc: L- Qi.'RA ':: f cj gg- .YQF-A-I Q ' fre,-- ,If J-2245,-T-gli gg vtvfintf. ff- , ,--.- -fi S- -- , Lili,-T -H -J N part of one's work. Each student is assigned a tutor to whom he goes for a pri- vate hour once or twice a week, and who more or less definitely directs his work. Some do not even think it worth while to attend lectures at all but prefer to use the time for reading. But most men do have some lectures, and in the forenoon they may be seen in High Street, Cornmarket, or Broad Street, biking or walk- ing, usually bareheaded, and wearing or carrying a gown, bareheaded because, although the university Stattlta et Decrem require cap as well as gown, it is not conventional to wear the cap and so the rule is not enforced except on certain oc- casions. The gowns themselves are rather remarkable, but not for their graceful folds or well-pressed prininess. There are two kinds, scholar's and commoneris. A scholar is one who holds a scholarship from his college. His gown has wide sleeves and reaches to the knees. The commoner's is a sleeveless affair, hardly as long as an ordinary sack coat. Rhodes scholars, by the way, rank, except in one college, as commoners, because the scholarship is administered independently of the colleges. As already suggested, these gowns are not notable for their neat- ness. Quite the contrary, the more ancient, the better. Here is a case where handing down clothes--if they can so be called-is eminently satisfactory. The only fear one has when seeing some of them is that there may be nothing left to hand down, for they hang in ribbons and tatters, a condition not always due to time or accident. Academic dress must be worn at all college and university func- tions, and during official intercourse with college and university dons. If on such occasions an undergraduate comes academically naked he is liable to cen- sure or fine-or both. After lunch, which is only a slight meal, the afternoon till tea-time is given over to sport. In this sphere, too, each college has its own organization, its own teams, crews, and equipment. This makes athletics very expensive, but they could hardly be carried on in any other way, and then it adds to the interest, for the colleges compete with one another. In some colleges the entrance fee to the Amalgamated Cathleticj Clubs, in which membership is not compulsatory but obligatory, is five pounds. In practically all, the terminal dues are two pounds. One can hardly imagine the student of, say, one of our western colleges paying some fifty dollars his first year towards athletics. But here it works because it is the tradition, and because conditions on the whole are different. Besides this, one must pay for one's own paraphernalia-uniforms, colors, blazers, and extra fees to the university clubs for the use of the track, rowing in intercollegiate races, etc. Thus, contrary to American practice, athletic advancement here means also increased expense. The 'varsity organization, of course, stands above those of the colleges. It is something to make one's college teams or crews g but the height of ambition is to row or play for the Varsity, and so get one's blue With hundreds of men taking part in the college sports it can easily be imagined that this is not so easy 285 5 -cff, Qi L- .

Those who come up with a reputation from one of the large public schools have a great advantage. Of last year's crew, for instance, all but two were Eton men. But there is a good deal of scope in the college sports for whatever ability one may have, and practically everybody turns out for something. The universal desire for decker is due partly, no doubt, to that beastly Oxford climate, but also to the Englishmanis love of outdoor life. So after lunch there is a general exodus to the river, playing fields, golf links, or, if nothing else, to the country for a walk. The playing fields are usually some distance from the colleges, for these are nearly all close to the center of the city. Games are always played on BOATTRACE-TETLIE FIRST OARSMAN the beautiful turf, which has gained its velvety softness through decades or gen- erations of cutting and rolling. Two things will strike the American visitor who goes out to the fields 5 the students are not practicing' at games but playing them, and there are few, if any, onlookers to encourage the teams. The lack of system- atic practice and coaching is due partly to the shortness of the terms which are only eight weeks each, but still more to the fact that the English boy learns his games at school. The absence of onlookers is easily explained, for those who are not taking part in one game will usually be found playing somewhere else. And even when some more important match does draw a crowd of supporters the noise produced is limited to hand-clapping, interspersed with an occasional well- played ! In regard to practice, field and track work necessarily forms an excep- tion. Rowing alone offers exceptions to both the foregoing statements. There are not so many good rowing schools, and then as the undoubtedly chief sport at 286 .f Af 7453af?r xi- --.V , 6 'J Oxford it has the greatest amount of time and attention devoted to it. Six days a week it takes, going on throughout the academic year, and systematic coaching is given from the beginning. Then during the week of races in the spring, and Eights week in the summer term the whole college turns out to run along the bank with its boat and cheer on the crew. But even here one listens in vain for that systematic encouragement which is so inseparably associated with American college sports. Coming back about half-past four ierl e r , rr -A' from a strenuous rugger game, a hard ' pull on the river, or a ten-mile cross- country tramp, a normally healthy young man is ready for tea. Tea - l how effeminate that sounds to many of the readers of this book! But after- noon tea or something equivalent is really necessary for those who, only slightly fortified at lunch, could with difliculty hold out till dinner at seven or seven-thirty. The other and more im- material aspect is even more important, for tea is also a great social institution. Given two or more congenial fellows together, with at least moderately good appetites, hot tea and something sub- stantial to satisfy the same, and a cheer- ful fire casting its genial glow over all, you get a condition peculiarly well- adapted for drawing people together. Of course I am not now speaking of the conventional society tea which has been so fittingly described by Mark Twain, and where there may be neither friends, food, nor fellow-feeling. But at the college tea many of one's acquaintanceships are formed, some of which may ripen into lasting friendships. Between tea and dinner comes an hour or two that may be well used for work. Then at seven or half-past, as the case may be, the bell rings for hall and soon the quads are alive with men in scholars' and commoners' gowns, all making in one direction. Most of the college halls are in the style of the picturesque medi- eval banqueting hall, with lofty open ceiling, elaborately timbered, and walls pan- elled in oak. The undergraduates' tables are arranged lengthwise, and benches serve as seats, while across the upper end on a raised platform is the high table for the dons. All around the walls are hung with portraits of royal personages, 287 , V JZ J ': Ls: fr--3 T11 2 1. ' i. '-'L'-1: fl' 15-52 ig, 3- ,J E.

One sometimes wonders what they think of it all as they look down upon genera- tion after generation of passing students. The junior members of the college may not be seated as soon as they come into the hall but remain standing till in due time the head servant calls out: High Table, please, Gentlemen I and, the dons solemnly enter and walk in dignified pro- cession up the hall. When they have reached their places a Latin grace is read by one of the scholars. At first no doubt a religious performance, it has become a formality through which the reader hurries with the apparent intention of breaking all previous records. Pro hoc cibon is as far as I have yet been able to follow, not altogether on account of the speed, but still more because of the- to us-weird pronunciation which is entirely peculiar to Great Britain, and which like so many other things good, and not as good, is probably due to the fact that the said country is an island, altogether surrounded by water. VVhen the last word of grace has been said no time is lost in getting seated. Nor is 'fFletcherism the rule when once the meal has begun, but steady murmur which sometimes reaches the dimensions of a noise does indicate that there is time for conversation, and now and then too, someone will interrupt proceedings long enough to shy a piece of bread across at another table. As to drinks, beer and non-alcoholic beverages of various kinds may be or- dered from the buttery, only wine and spirits are not allowed in hall. These drinks are served in silver mugs, or if a table desires, in a large silver pot which goes around the table from hand to hand, and is called a Hsconcef' Even water, which after all, is the common drink, is most often served in solid silver beakers or tumblers. Indeed, in earlier times, it has been said, when distinction was to be shown a guest, he was given a glass to drink from. Many of the colleges have very valuable collections of plate. At the time when Charles I made Oxford his headquarters the colleges were no doubt loyal, and may willingly have given up their plate to be converted into the sinews of war, but it is rumored that some of what now exists is older than the Civil War. After hall most of the students stop in the quad, congregate in smaller or larger groups, to talk and smoke a pipe, both of which occupations will be con- tinued by many over a cup of coffee or cocoa in the junior Common Room or in some of the students, rooms. For those who are so inclined there is nearly al- ways the possibility of attending some club or society meeting. Especially if it is Thursday evening many will go to hear the debate at the Union, the great uni- versity debating society at both Qxford, and Cambridge. The proceedings are strictly parliamentary in form, including a division of whole house at the end, and the debates are almost always carried out on sharply defined party lines. There one may hear some of the best speaking, cleverest debating and most 288 -.f -xl 5'-saf ., ,-.., -2 1 ..-:,,- ,. . '- ..,i.!--. - -STFLXTT AQ,-, ,Q' ,L Z hi - f-1, F - sparkling wit that the university affords. Many of the leading British statesmen, past and present, have been Union presidents at Oxford or Cambridge. However, the larger number will soon retire to the libraries or to their rooms for work. If less has been said about this element of student life it is partly be- cause it has been taken for granted, and partly because it does not appear so much on the surface. But if it should seem to the casual observer that the social ele- ment predominates too much he must first of all remember that the ideal of Ox- ford is to produce not only scholars but gentlemen 5 if possible, scholarly gentle- men, and then he must also remember that the Oxford term is very short and it is during the long vacation that perhaps the larger part of the work is done. The high standards which are rigorously maintained in the honor schools really re- quire a very fair amount of work from those at least who are seeking honors. At five minutes past nine f'Big Tom booms out the curfew from Tom Tower of Christ Church College. A hundred and one strokes are rung-the original number of scholars on the foundation, after which most college gates are closed. Then no undergraduate may leave college without special permission and those who are outside must pay a gate fee to come in, not large but increasing with the lateness of the hour. After twelve the gate opens no more, and alas for him who is not in by that time! He will be liable to a fine of five pounds, or he may even be sent down. At twelves, then, the Oxford day closes. To write about Oxford is not an easy task. It is difficult to begin, and once started one hardly knows where to make an end. I have therefore chosen what seemed the least difficult way, and ha-ve sought to give some general idea of the every-day life, but even this must necessarily be inadequate by reason of limits of space, even were it not of ability. The most interesting, as well as the most significant aspect is also most intangible, the atmosphere of the place, in which the elements of past and present are so closely intermingled. Oxford has been in prose and verse the theme of unnumbered writers, and it has also offered sub- jects worthy of the brush or pen of countless artists who here sought for beauty, whether in the realms of nature or in the works of men. It has in the past appeal- ed differently to different generations and to different men. Nor can all be capable of the same appreciation. But almost without exception, to a greater or less ex- tent the charm is felt by all. If one remains too long, the charm may grow less, but after three years one will not leave without regret. What it means to be an un- dergraduate here will depend to the greatest extent on the individual, not on his purse but on himself. Here, as everywhere, if one would receive much he must also give much. What Oxford has meant for one personally one will better realize later, but at least one may say with confidence that one is very glad to have had the opportunity of being here. .

B jornstad is one of the many ex-students of St. Olaf who have made good. Even during his early college days he was often spoken of as the man with fine physique and soldierly bearingi'-intensely interested in his- tory, reading everything in that line on which he could lay his hands, exponents of his life's work to be, gradually working upward with great zeal and skill. It was not luck but hard work, a putting energy to power latent within. The flag of our college was hung at half mast in 1898 while Capt. B j ornstad was engaged in the Philippines. He had been reported dead by the war depart- ment. This proved, however, to be a false alarm, although he was twice wounded during the war. He was commander and governor of a province one year. In the meantime 293 4- Nfwwl K' w . it lllil l ,ge l ral ,ll Wi ll -x..,, N, Nv- he entered the army as first lieutenant and became captain of the 28th infantry in 1903. He took part in the early Moro campaign in 1902-03, returning to the United States by way of India and Europe, spending six months enroute. In 1905 he was married to Miss Sabin of San Francisco. In 1906 he went to Cuba with the army of Cuban pacification at the time of the revolution against the gov- ernment of President Palma. He returned to the United States in IQO8, entering the army school at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. This army school is a school for higher militant command, in which the student officers are selected captains of the regular army-competitive system, based on tactical work in the field. This course Capt. Bjornstad finished with honors, being at the head of a class of forty. He also took up post graduate work at the same school, which he completed in july 1910. After serving as chief of staff at a large maneuver camp at Atascaderos, Cal., he again returned to his na- tive state, rejoining his regiment at Fort Snelling. Last spring Captain B jornstad was appointed military attache to the American embassy in Berlin. The Berlin assignment is regarded as one of the most desir- able in the service. Captain Bjornstad is the originator of the new infantry drill regulations, and Secretary Stimson, recognizing his ability, decided to send him to Berlin with special instructions to study the infantry regulations of the Ger- man army. No better selection for the Berlin detailf' said Representative Ste- vens of St. Paul, could have been made. Captain Bjornstad is an accomplished officer and a progressive military expert. He has recently been recalled on ac- count of the new ruling by Congress which provides that no officer who has not served at least four of the last six years in his own regiment shall be eligible to appointment to a detached position. He will now either serve on the general staff as right-hand man to General Wood, or return to his regiment at Fort Snel- ling. We are ardent believers in Carnegie's peace movement, but if there is to be war we shall ind Captain B jornstad ever ready with his daring and skillful head to ight for the right. A -MRS. C. A.

Of her it could be truly said: To know her was to love her. It is only fitting that some word should be said in appreciation of what she did andiwas. Hilda Solverson was born at Nasha- tah, Wis., Oct. 22, 1885. Shortly after- wards, the family moved to Oconomo- woc, which was her home until her death. She attended the public schools of this city and in spite of poor health was able to graduate from high school with her class. The following year she entered Northwestern University at Ev- anston, Ill., to take up the study of dra- matic art. She met with unusual success, and being urged by her teachers and others, returned for a post-graduate course, graduating in the spring of 1908. The following fall she took up her work at St. Olaf. Of her work much might be said. She was ambitious for the success of her department and had her health permitted would have done even more than she did towards building it up. Those who knew her will remember her as ever ready to help, whether in society or in any other student activity. She was willing and glad to read for any occasion. Her interpretative reading won for her the praise and admiration of the simplest child as well as the severest critic. No only by her reading, but by her charming personality as well, she made many and lasting friendships. Even strangers felt her charm, and were happier for meeting her. Her health failed gradually, and in pMay, 1910, she was obliged to give up her work. If it might seem that she had received more than ordinary gifts and that she knew more than ordinary of the j oy of living, then surely, dur- ing the long summer months she knew more than ordinary suffering. Together with the flowers she passed from the springtime of life to its autumn and with them she fell asleep.

EDITOR VIKING :- In response to your esteemed favor of the 3rd inst. requesting me to write an article for the next issue of the Viking , I wish to say that it will afford me pleas- ure if I may confine myself to a subject which has occupied my attention ever since I left St. Olaf College in 1893. I was only a young boy when the question of doctrine arose between the two great factions of the Lutheran Church. As a young boy I heard it discussed between neighbors in the community in which I lived. At that time people were somewhat wrought up over it and the two fac- tions formed into what was denominated as the Missouri and Anti-Missouri branches of the church. My father's family belonged to the Anti-Missouri faction of the church, which was probably one reason why I was deposited at St. Olaf College. While I attended St. Olaf I noticed that nearly every member of the faculty had been graduated from Luther College andto me it looked as though the divorce, if legal, was at least unnatural. Luther College was then running the same as before and was justly entitled to be called the mother college of the church. Luther College has produced some distinguished men during its existence,aand it has rendered signal service both to the church and state. St. Olaf College has also rendered a great service. It is entitled to as much credit as Luther College, but for years of service. St. Olaf is a worthy son of a noble sire. During the last number of years repeated attempts have been made to bring these two factions of a great church together. At first it was not thought possible that this could be done. When an invitation was extended by the old war horses of one faction, the veterans of the other side replied in substance and effect like the young man who had just entered society but who found it necessary to decline an invitation to a reception on account of a previous engagement. The young man used in substance the following language: Mr. Smith declines with pleasure the invitation extended to him by Mrs. jones and thanks her very sincerely for having given him the opportunity to do so. This embarrassing situation, however, has been overcome and within the last year the respective committees have agreed so far that it is very probable that the different factions of this great church body will get together. The thought which has been entertained by me is that all the different branches of the Lutheran Church should unite into one composite body. I am frank to confess that I am not familiar with the line points of distinction 296 -f , 5? cgi ff' L x X T-gqfieili '12-2-M651 ff, XE Z---2 I2-::t? --'.-145-KW?-B which have so long separated these different factions on the question of predesti- nation. I shall not brief up the case to prepare for a joint debate on the question either. Don't I wish to learn wherein one side claimed to be right and the other wrong? No. There are so many questions in religion which I cannot understand or comprehend that I am not going to burden my mind with the question of pre- destination. There are so many questions which the distinguished leaders on both sides of this religious controversy can neither understand nor comprehend, then why demand a bill of particulars on predestination? In illustrating how little we know and how little we understand both of religious and worldly things, Mr. Bry- an in his lecture on f'The Making of a Man puts the following pertinent question ': 'II-Iow can you explain that a red cow eating green grass will produce white milk which in turn will produce yellow butter ? I have long felt that but for stubborn leadership on both sides of this controversy we should have been together long ago. The church should unite not only in faith but in temporal affairs as well. VVhat an enormous strength the Lutheran Church would present if it were one organization having title to all its properties in one name. A system of schools should be established beginning with the smallest and ending with a Lutheran university which should be equal in rank with our state universities. A great ser- vice can be rendered by the alumni associations of St. Olaf and Luther Colleges toward bringing this about. It is greatly the product of these institutions which must do this work. My influence to render assistance in this respect is reduced for the reason that I early left one of the church schools and took advantage of the public schools furnished by the state. It belongs to the 'gprogressiveu men of the church to carry this work through. I have a fond hope that some day I may live to see this work accomplished. . O. A.

'A ' , ' x' -ixd Erhiratinn Yb Zlze Boarding Club One score and eighteen years ago our Viking grand-dads brought forth on Manitou Heights a new boarding club, conceived in debt and dedicated to the proposition that through a man's' mind and not his stom- ach is the road to success. Now we are engaged in a terrific struggle, testing whether that club, or any club so conceived, can long endure. We are met in the dinning battlefield of that club. VVe are here in behalf of our heating plant to throw a Little light on the club and dedicate the tables of this club as a final monument for those who gave their lives and cashfedj in in order that the club might survive. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should be good boys and girls and do this. But in a boarding club scents we can but hesitate, we dare not procrastinate, we cannot dedicate this book. The brave men living and dead who struggled and ate here have raised the price far above our poor power to add or subtract. The student will little note nor long remember what we say here, but he will never forget what he got here. It is for us the living rather to be devoted here to the unfinished food which they who strug- gled here have so nobly attacked. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. That from these pages we may have increased devotion for the club for which they gave their last full C FD measure of devotion, That we resolve that the past be forgotten, the present endured, and the future feared in order that this club under the Dorm on Manitou Heights shall have a menu of grub, and that a board- ing club by the student, in the student, and for the student, shall not per- ish from the earth. -The Editors. 300 . f' M gkfigmlk fwwx W' I..

Sunday evening games generally being the rule. Last season saw some clever nelding carried out. The stars being Sam, Tossie, Frank, and Grant, who finished the season without an error, excepting every chance that came their way. During the early part of the season good material showed up, and after a few practice games, could always be relied upon to make a hit. Among the pinch hitters, Spike, Tommy, and Melby 328 Sf -.f G-.gf -.--:LL -:if-1 V ..-::.-,. ' '-.,-' QQ.,-,. Kf- X. Lag, a - s.. secured doubles in every game, and occasionally Tommy would make a triple. We have not the averages at hand, but Rolvaag, we fell sure, heads the list in catching runners out at home. During the spring season records were smashed for base stealing. lfVhen it comes to home runs Art S. made the fastest time for the circuit. But all honors must go to Osc, who, when he failed to make a hit, sac- rificed to Bill and stole home while all the crowd looked on and applauded. In the extra-inning games, Sam and Paulson, and Ram and Detlie usually starred, the games ordinarily being called on account of darkness. In one of the most ex- citing games of the season Huseth and Huus were called out by phone, Rude got 'llazyn and was benchedg Frank and Ruste were called up fnot outj. At some times close decisions had to be made by Miss Glasoe regarding team work of the boys and girls, who balked at her decision but were content to take a walk. In the field Gloomy made several good assists. Regarding -fast time of play the Misses Larsen, Gulbrandson, and Anderson made good, although some innings seemed to drag along. In the opening game of this season Wallie was chief box artist, but the coach decided to replace him with Natwick. The scouts outside have been busy, and Kaldie, joe, Kork, and VVallie have been signed up for the Domestic League. just a few words in closing for you new Freshmen who have signed up this year. You may not be caught at first, second, or third: You may slide safe, but if Glasoe and Thompson are catching there are big dangers of being caught out in stealing home. It is better to let Prexy do the coaching, for to play the grand stand does not appeal to the spectators. Get your signals straight and keep your head, for this is a national pastime. Regarding the squeeze play we have nothing to say. - Art, Tossie, Marv, and Aker were never as bad as their house is painted. Look, who's here. Of course you know them. Ram in his long pompadour was a combination that made good from the start. As for Sam-well he al- ways was a heart smasher. You simply couldn't blame the girls. 329 I .1 : 3 , -Q'--,nw fb-Q f , ,L X'-.. ff ,J EL 'N X4 3. i ,. Ti 4 .Q Yi 'ite ll la l 'ml ,M r JY ' x ,i if LI ZX.. . 4 .1 Xf -va,-.

Dear Sir:- Your letter of recent date received and contents pertaining to the matter of lecture course ticket noted, In reply I wish to state that your demand to settle at once for same is ridiculous. For one of your intellect 1 would suppose that you would know that as 1 was dismissed from that institution on December 10th, it would be foolish to expect me to pay for something I received no benefit from. All the lectures or lecture course numbers took place 2222! I left the school as you know very well. With these facts in View I certainly am surprised that you should have the audacity to attempt a collection on said tickets. I do not know your personal attitude in regard to the matter but even though you may be officially interested in receiving the pay for same, your common sense will surely tell you that that would be the last thing to expect from one who has been fortunate enough to be released from that institution. Hoping that this will end the farcical claims from the lecture course mamagers, I mildly remain, Yours truly, ,F.A.S.fM.M.O.

On the 17th of May, 1914, a famine of practical intelligence being imminent, the boarding clubs united in mutual agreement to establish this Aggie Department. The success of this project was apparent from the beginning. And now after live years of ex- perience we can point with pride to this branch of our greater St. Dlaf, which every year turns out such useful spreaders of knowledge. To Dean Larson, whose faith- ful service has placed him at the head of the department, we are indebted. For nine years this overall dean has held the reins and carried upward along the rocky paths the baggage and the cabbage heads to which we all lay claim. His able assistant Abraham, like the patriarch of old, has been always on the job in trying to raise it to the higher plain which it holds at present. AIM To teach the young idea how to dig GENERAL INFORMATION-LOCATION Northfield, a city, situated on the northern border of a Rice County map, contains about 4,000 natives and four railroads, which run away from the town. The Cannon River shoots through the city, making it somewhat w-holy. The city has an appearance of sleep and disorder, and the students take pride in making it as unpleasant a place of sojourn as any citizen may expect to find in the Northwest. There are saloons in Dundas. GROUNDS The Aggie School is situated about three quarters of a mile too far from the postoffice. We have an affectionate campus, embracing 138 acres overrun by na- tive sons. The place is never frequented twice by the same visitors on account of the dizzy heights and the dangerous paths which lead up to them. 338 417- ,.f- Horticulture QAD Botanical Research. Students are required to search for their apparatus and specimens. In order to make room for the large increase in numbers of stud- ents the faculty has seen lit to do away with all equipment. The Mary CBJ Course has been discontinued. Ev- ery little move-ment has a mean-ing all its own. The work this year includes the cutting up of Goldberg. Marks have gone for much in the past and additional credit will be given to all that is cut out in the coming year. CCD A special day Csee illustration for Marshal of Clean-up Dayj is set aside each year for the pur- pose of landscape gardening. Thirty-six acres in and about the buildings have been set aside as experimental grounds forthis work. Exhibit No. I shows the beauty spot of our campus. Much care and labor has made it what it is, an object of beauty and of comment. Exhibit No. 2 illustrates actual demonstration in manipulating the special apparatus which is provided for the students by the business manager. On account of the over-abundance of round heads which interfere with the beauty of our campus, attempts are being made to remove the same. Exhibit 3. A class in setting out of plants and How- ers is shown here. The Spike-Holtan method is used and designs are studied from the Ruth-Tossy text book, The Home Garden.

But because of the influx .of soil disturbers in our college it was considered a necessity. The central building, which was erected for heating purposes, seemed to have outgrown its usefulnessg the hot air producers supplying sufhcient heat for the dormitories. , With the removal of the large clock in the Main Building Prof. Leivestad found a great deal of extra time on his hands. Naturally he was the unanimous choice for head of the newidairying department. Because of his long experience with such intric t h' ' a e mac mes as the gas plant of the Chem Lab, Prof Leivestad has had a wonderful success in turning out prize winning butter and cheese He has dis covered a new method of removing the last traces of cream from milk d 'lk , an mi only has been found on the tables of our spacious dining room.

The advanced and most difficult course is that of mixing dairy products. This course is open to Senior girls who have always proven them- selves adepts in the art of Hmixingi' and the process of separation In all prob- ability this course will not be offered next year. To those who have been planning to .take this course We refer to the graduates of this year who are in a position to do tutoring after their valued experience in the course. 342 5,- if asf 1. ---Q: .L Q4-1 ,, 1 .. ,. 51- .....- '. --- .NT 3 ffl, H, - Y - Y , - 1,94 Agricultural Chemistry Professor Foxy Head'Chemist 4 Professor Minne - - Instructor The main feature of this course is special work in the Laboratory with all mod- ern' improvements, including fresh paint. The equipment consists of several desks and very little room. Special facilities are of- fered in the testing of dormitory brands of food. This offers opportunity for students to investigate human food problems. Ex- perimental Work is required, but the wise student need not work these if he is able to Work Foxy This Lab is equipped with a number of hoods for the purpose of re- taining all gases which may have collected. A student soon becomes immune to h t ese and the olfactory nerves become so keen that he can scent trouble twenty hours in advance of the actual time.

Empty thoughts like empty sermons deserve empty seats. Once a student, not always a liar. It seems perfectly natural for some girls to be artificial. There are spots on the sun, yet some people expect a German student to be perfect. Many a Fresliie has acquired some very good habits by not following in the footsteps of the Seniors. St. Olaf College is built on a bluff, and some students recite on the same principle. Save your money and your chancesg the social committee Will never regret it.
