At the previous meeting, a mov-ing picture of Alaska had been shown. Sunday night Joan Bur-ull and June Hagen told more about the people of Alaska and the mission work which is be-ing done there.

This is the last out-of-town en-gagement for the choir this sea-son. By Virginia Caldwell Greek, Italian, Spanish, Ger-man, French, Swedish, Norwe-gian, Dutch, Danish, Flemish, Cat-alonian, Icelandic and Portuguese! That is quite a list of languages for one man to master but, not content with having fourteen tongues under his control, Pro-fessor Blegen is now working on Russian, Arabic, and Japanese. This linguistic genius all stems back to Church's Ferry, North Dakota, around 1906 when little Helmer Blegen was going to Nor-wegian Parochial school. At this time, his English was a source of constant embarrassment because he could only talk Norwegian and he didn't get along so well. So, he decided to learn English—and he did! Incidentally, he always beat his classmates in mental arith-metic. Mr. Blegen received his B. A. from St. Olaf College in 1920, and his M. A. from the U. of Minneso-ta. Before coming to Augustana College in 1927, he taught at Plea-sant View Academy in Ottawa, Illinois; Waldorf College in For- Summer school plans are near completion. They will include two terms of summer school. The first term will begin June 5 and will end July 15. The second term starts July 17 and ends Aug-ust 26. Regular first semester courses will be given during the first term, and the second term will in-clude regular second semester courses. There is a sufficient de-mand for these subjects so that this can be done. A full years' credit for subjects taken will be obtained by attend-ing both summer terms. A pre-clinical nursing course is also included in the program. This course starts June 15 and ends September 5. Chemistry, micro-biology, human anatomy, and physiology are the subjects that will be taught. The enrollment last summer was 211. This year it is expected to be smaller. A complete sched-ule for the summer terms will be posted May 1. Tea Planned For May 10 Members of the Augustana Auxiliary are having a benefit tea which is to be held May 10, in the Gymn-Chapel.

In 1930, Professor Blegen toured Europe for two years and got a chance to really use his lan-guages. While on the continent, he attended the U. of Paris and the U. at Florence, Italy. It was in Florence that he acquired his interest in Renaissance Art. This explains why Mr. Blegen has remained at Augustana de-spite many better offers.

Augustana has a great future. Already hundreds of boys and girls have discovered things like art and music for the first time here. My students have been above the national average for 16 years now in French and Spanish. I learned for the first time that President Stavig and Pro-fessor Blegen were pals in college. One summer, they hitch-hiked out to California where Mr. Blegen became the housekeeper. As soon as Mrs. Stavig came into the picture, the housekeeping im-proved. Professor Blegen took nothing but science and math in high school and college. "That's be-cause I dislike unscientific hu-manists and un-human scientists. My favorite gripe is the apotheos-is of mediocrity." You'll have to look up that one in the dictionary! Professor Blegen had a very exciting childhood. Church's Ferry was frontier territory dur-ing his early years.
