PROF. KALMAR J. JACOBSON THE AUGUS ANA MIRROR VOL. VI. SIOUX FALLS, SOUTH DAKOTA, DEL EMBER ) , 1925. No. 11 PROF. KALMAR J. JACOBSON DIES Head of History and Sociology Department at A. C. Since 1922 The death of Prof. Kalmar J. Jacobson, removing him from us in the prime of his life and in the full vigor of his sturdy manhood, is ex-ceedingly sad and has filled our hearts with bitter sorrow. His de-parture from our midst is indeed a serious loss to Augustana college and Normal school, as he was in a very practical way identified with every activity of the institution. His love of work, his devotion to duty, and his desire to serve all with whom he came in contact, were so pronounced that he spared himself no trouble, no expenditure of strength, time, or means, to be able to render service whenever he thought his services might be re- His Christian interests were varied and intense and he never shirked when an opportunity was offered to serve his Master. Our loss is, therefore, indeed serious. Being Christians, we are, however, not without comfort. We have no doubt but that our beloved co-laborer, teacher, brother, friend is now with his Lord in Paradise, partaking of the ineffable joys of the blessed. Furthermore, our precious Saviour has assured us that if we are faithful unto the end He will give us, too, the crown of life and reunite us with the one who has departed from us. We also have the assurance that whatsoever we ask of our Heavenly Father in our Saviour's name, that shall be given us. Therefore we "give thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ." To the widowed wife, the mother, brothers, and other dear ones of our departed brother, we extend our sincere sympathy, and for com-fort we commend them to Him who always comforted and is now com-forting the one whose loss they mourn. Committee: Ola A. Solheim, Carl R. Youngdah 1, Clara Knudson, Carl 0. Pederson. Clifford J. Olson, Priscilla Mannes. CAMPBELL; MCKINNON AND GLENN SPEAK AT CHAPEL Dr. Campbell of the local health department spoke in chapel Thurs-day, Nov. 19. He spoke on preven-tion of disease, emphasizing care in the case of contagious diseases, especially measles, scarlet fever and whooping cough. He mentioned three rules of health: (1 ) Put nothing into the mouth but food, drink and a toothbrush ; ( 2 ) put nothing to the nose except a clean handkerchief__ ( 3.) always wash hands before leaving a sickroom, toilet room, and before meals. He said that most evils in this world are the consequence of our own actions—to our doing the things we should not do, and not doing the things we should do. He mentioned the work of Calu-met, a student of Pasteur, who is working in Paris, in an attempt to find a preventive for T. B. He has made successful experiments by im-munizing calves through the injec- Rion of dead T. B. germs. Dr. Campbell concluded by a few words on Citizenship, saying that America is a great country, and that it is our duty to 'be strong. Mayor McKinnon addressed the students and faculty Wednesday, Nov. 18. His topic was that of sanitation, dwelling especially on the problem of the city's sewerage disposal. He mentioned the natural advantages for health that Sioux Falls has in that regard, the hills within its limits, and the river flow-ing through it, with a fall of nine-ty- two feet inside the city. He spoke favorably of a project now -under consideration for the building of septic tanks to take care of the city's sewage. Students and teachers of Augus-tana College were suddenly plunged in deep sorrow when death cast its grim shadow over the college on Monday, November 23d. Prof. Kal-mar J. Jacobson, professor of his-tory and sociology, died at three o'clock that morning after a short illness of six days. Prof. Jacobson's death came as a distinct shock to all who knew him. He was faithfully engaged in his work up to his last active mo-ment. No sign of illness was no-ticed and no complaint was heard until he failed to meet his classes on Tuesday morning, NOvember 17. At ten o'clock he was taken to the hospital and in the evening operat-ed upon; but the intestinal disease from which he suffered could not be stayed. Prof. Jacobson had been in the service of Augustana College con-tinuously since the moment he took over the work as head of the de-partment of history and sociology in 1922 until the last hour of his active life. Besides teaching, he traveled during the summer vaca-tions of 1923, 1924 and 1925 through parts of South Dakota, Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska, dur-ing which time he visited virtually every community from which the institution draws its support. In 1924, he traveled as a member of the Augustana college male quar-tette and in 1925 as its advance agent and manager. The effective work done by Prof. Jacobson to in-terest young people in Christian education is shown by the ever in-creasing attendance Augustana col-lege has enjoyed during the years he traveled as her representative. He was also active in extra-curricu-lar activities of the institution in which his chief interest manifested itself as leader of the Mission Union and instructor of the Boys' Bible class. He conducted the Nor wegian services at Grace Chapel of the First Lutheran Church previous to the arrival of Dr. Iverson in 1924 and preached as supply pas-tor in many congregations through-out the surrounding country. In that same capacity, he preached at Harlington, Nebraska, on the Sun-day preceding his illness. Kalmar J. Jacobson was born JOSEPH HERMANSON IS NEW MANAGING EDITOR Joseph Hermanson, Dell Rapids, a member of the junior class, has been elected by the student body as managing editor of the Mirror. This position was left vacant at the re-signation of Alvin Rogness, Astoria, a member of the sophomore class, who has served in that capacity for about a year, and as forensic re-porter the preceding year. PHILOMATHIANS AND DE-MOSTHENIANS WIN CONTEST The Philomathian Literary soci= ety won first place in the first in-ter- society contest, the women's oratorical, held at 4 p. m. Monday„ Nov. 30, in the college chapel. The Philomathians, having two orators, won a total of 130 points, and the Athenians, having one representa-tive, gained 95 points. The winning society was repre-sented by Agnes Crane and Esther Loftesness, they getting 70 and 60 points respectively. The Athenians were represented by Beulah John-son, who was given 95 points. The Demosthenian Literary soci-ety won the second contest, the men's oratorical, gaining a total of 166 points. They were represented by Carmi Lawrence, with an ora-tion on "The Educated Misfit," and Alvin Rogness, speaking on "The Black Scourge." Their opponents, representing the Websterian Liter-ary society, were Clarence Johnson, who spoke on "Locarno," and Carl Pederson, with the oration, "A Uni-versal Brotherhood of Man." They gained a total of 148 points. Judges for the men's oratorical contest were Rev. Glenn, Rev. Pres-ton and Prof. Moore. These two contests were the first this year. Each society will meet its opponent in four contests. Seminary, he served as editor of the "Hemnica" and as a part time teacher and also found time to re,)- resent his alma mater in inter-school oratory. In 1917-18 he taught at Jewell College, Jewell, Iowa and in 1x18-19 at Park Re-gion Luther )College, Fergus Falls, Minnesota. From 1919 to 1921 he was instructor and principal of Lu-ther Academy, Albert Lea, Minne-sota. He then studied one year at Luther Theological Seminary, St. Paul, previous to his coming to Au-gustana College in 1922. During the World War he served for a period at Camp Pike, where he received a commission as second lieutenant. About a year ago he was promoted to the rank of first lieutenant in the reserves and was also a member of the Officers' Mess, Sioux Falls. Miss Marie Toohey and Miss Dag-na Berg, members of the Augustana faculty, gave a joint recital in the college chapel on Monday evening, November 30. Their work was that of artists, of which the school can be justly proud. The delightful solo work of each took well with a large audience. The third group, Ave Maria, was especially 'beautiful as the sweet 'cello quality of Miss 'Berg's voice blended with the clear sweet tones of Miss Toohey's instru-ment. Miss Jahren's sympathetic accompaniment was a pleasing back-ground. The following program was pre-sented : Hejre Kati Jeno Hubay Miss Toohey Care Selve ( Atalanta) Handel Adieu, Forets! ( Jeanne D'Are ) _ _ Tschaikowsky Miss Berg Father Almighty ( Ave Maria ) _ _ Bach-Gounocl Misses Berg and Toohey Uncle Rastus Cecil Burleigh In a Cotton Field_ _ _Cecil Burleigh Samoan Lullaby Tod Boyd Minuet David Hochstein Rondo Mazart-Kreisler Miss Toohey By a Lonely Forest Pathway_Griffes Sandman Is Calling You_ _ _Roberts Wedding Song Rosa Love Is the Wind MacFadyen Miss Berg TENTATIVE ARRANGEMENTS MADE FOR NEW DEBATES Prof. Carlson has made tentative arrangements for several new de-bates, namely, with St. Thomas at St Paul ; with Macalester at St. Paul. There is also a tentative dual .debate arranged with Northern Nor-mal. Prof. Jacobson leaves to mourn his death. his wife, his mother, Mrs. George Jacobson, of Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, and three brothers, Ar-thur and Oscar, both of Pelican Rapids, and the Rev. Joseph Jacob-son of Hendrum, Minnesota. The latter together with Mrs. Jacobson were present at the time of his death. The Choir made its initial ap-pearance in a concert given Sunday afternoon, Nov. 22, at West Nida-ros. The program was as follows : 'Hymn of Praise. Listen to the Lambs. Vocal Solo—Clifford Olson. In Heaven Above. Wake ! Awake ! Vocal Solos—Miss Oldre. 'Going Home. A )Capella number from cantata. VIKINGS HOLD MARINERS TO LOWEST SCORE, 6-0 The Vikings held the Columbus Mariners to the lowest score of any game since football relations were established between the two insti-tutions in the final contest of the 1925 season, Saturday, Nov. 21. The Mariners scored their only touchdown in the second period as the result of an intercepted pass. Scobell, 'Columbus fullback, "Mark the Mighty," was forced to plunge into the Viking line four times to gain the last three yards, just bare-ly crossing the line on his last trial. The deciding play came in the second quarter, a long Viking pass, Harvey to Levorson. The Vikings gambled with chance for victory, and lost by a matter of inches. A strong wind blowing across the field made an aerial attack practically impossible—and unexpected. On the first Viking play with the wind in their backs, after changing goals, Harvey received the ball from cen-ter, set for a run. Suddenly he stepped back from his interference and threw a long pass, far over the Mariner backs, toward Levorson, flying end, who, seemingly un-noticed, had already passed the (Continued on page 4). JACOBSON MEMORIAL STARTED BY STUDENTS To honor the memory of their late friend and teacher, Prof. Kal-mar J. Jacobson, the students of Augustana College and Normal School have started a memorial fund. This action was taken by the students immediately after the sad news reached them. This fund will be donated as the first contribution to the new five hundred thousand dollar endowment drive for Augustana College. The income from the fund will be used to purchase books, to be known as the Jacobson Memorial Books, to be placed in the college library. Donations are being received dai-ly from the students. The Boys' Bible class, of which Prof. Jacob-son was instructor, has given ten dollars as an organization. The student body voted to invite the faculty and alumni of Augus-tana College and -Normal School to join with them in honoring the memory of Prof. Jacobson by aid-ing in establishment of this fund. Contributions have already been received from members of the alum-ni, and they have expressed their appreciation of the privilege to re-member their teacher thus together with the students. Below is printed a letter accom-panying the contribution from H. Gerhard Mosby, '24. "I am enclosing a check for two dollars for the Jacobson Memorial fund. Thanks for asking me to come in with the students. I con-sider it a very fitting way in which we, his students, may remember him, in a way he would approve of, I am certain. Trusting that Augustana may find a man to fill his place, I am, Sincerely, 1c,-1-^rd Mosby. The following are the contribu-tions received thus far from the alumni: H.

The Augustana Mirror : Your first issue of the paper is at hand and I wish to rattle off a few lines to tell how glad I am to get the little sheet by which I can from afar follow some of the activities and developments of Augustana. You may be surprised at the great length of time it takes for the pa-per to reach me, and then for my letters to reach you, but I guess the distance between Sioux Falls and Tripoli has something to do with it. I usually figure on eight weeks for a reply to any letter I send home, although I do occa-sionally get letters from home in only three weeks. I sent for this typewriter, on which I am writing, some time be-fore Easter this year, and my moth-er sent the machine in May, and here I got it the other day. Sucb a great length of time, of course, is not necessary but the mission board held it in New York till they had a chance to send it out in a shipment of goods to the mission here. And how eagerly I shall follow every column inch of the paper to see how things are going at Au-gustana. The alumni column is of greatest interest to me—to see where all my schoolmates and friends are going. I even like to look over the ads that shout out their messages and as I look over the firm names I think of the days when I myself trotted around from place to place soliciting ads, get-ting copies, or collecting the legal tender. But I miss that familiar cut in its usual place in the upper right hand corner of page four. Changes in the faculty are as in-teresting as they are inevitable, and I sometimes wonder "Why?" I can understand why Mr. Carlson accept-ed the position he did, but I can't see any reason north of the Mason- Dixon line why Dr. Keiser hiked off way down there to that North Caro-lina city, if its name means any-thiIn g. watch with keen interest the (Continued on page 3) STUDENTS AND FACULTY OFFER CONDOLENCES Rev.

Solberg read messages and resolu-tions from the college faculty and students, Prof. L. A. Vigness, sec-retary of the 'board of education, and the Rev. Myrwang, former prerddent f board of trustees of Luther Academy. Pall bearers were Dr. Iver Iverson, Prof. J. G. Berdahl, Prof. A. S. Moore, Prof. G. H. Gilbertson, Prof. Carl Ander-son and Prof. J. A. Johnson, all of the Augustana College faculty. Memorial services were held at the college at 10 : 30 a. m. and at the First Lutheran Church in the afternoon, on Wednesday, while burial took place at Pelican Rapids, Minnesota, his boyhood home, on Friday, November 27th. Dr. C. 0. Solberg and Dr. Iver Iverson of the college faculty spoke at the college service. All present felt with the speakers that the college had suf-fered a real loss in that Prof. Ja-cobson had been more than a teach-er. Rev. J. 0. Tweten of Luther Academy brought a message from that institution. Carl Pederson, president of the Boys' Bible class of which Prof. Jacobson was teach-er, spoke in behalf - of that class. "We loved Prof. Jacobson," Mr. Pederson said, "because he was a brother to us and wished to be con-sidered as a brother." The male quartette, of which Prof. Jacobson had been a member, sang. The re-mains lay in state in the Adminis-tration building with a student hon-or guard, chosen from the Boys' Bible class, in charge until the re-moval to the First Lutheran Church in the afternoon.
