SEGUIN, TEX. OCTOBER 1922
The Synodical Convention has
had its day in Seguin some time
ago - a long coveted goal has
been reached, the affiliation with
the University-the L. C. Con-
vention has brought a vast in-
flux of young people to premises
heretofore unknown to them.
These are three important con-
stellations in the history of the
school. Some wise acres have
had forbodings that these events
would have no bearing on the life
and radius of action and num-
ber of students. Present con-
ditions seems to justify such
forebodings. New students
have not yet rolled in by the
hundreds, as others had predict-
ed.
We hold out hopes, despite
present appearances. These ev-
ents were not futile affairs,
Some processes are slow by na-
ture. Artificial booms are not
of the lasting quality. We abide
our time. United prayers, unit-
ed efforts, united persistence
when actuated by sinersemo-
tives, has always received prop-
er recognition at eternal head-
quarters. Sometimes there is a
big difference in the time-piece,
used there and here. We are
willing to adjust our clocks.
A few new members are ad-
orning our faculty. To be
sure, they have not come here
merely as ornamental additions.
They have come and buckled
down for intensive work, mak-
ing the best of their time and
their pupils. These new mem-
bers are Miss Erna Scholz of
Temple, Mr. A. J. Briesmeister
and Mr. H. A. Knebel. Theyhave taken up work in teaching
the departments of English, his-
tory and mathmatics, respect-
ively ; the last mentioned will
take care of the coach classes.
All three members are well rec-
ommended as to qualifications,
spirit and experience. We are
glad to have them with us.
Many of our students busied
themselves during this summer
by sending us names and addres-
ses of respective students, and,
most likely, by telling them a
few things about the up's and
down's, in's and out's, and pro's
and con's of L. C. life. Such
courtesy was deeply appreciat-
ed and we feel grateful to every-
one of them. It shows the
proper spirit. Their prospect-
ives did not all come. Had they
done so our number would be
somewhere between five and six
hundred. Only a small fraction
turned in. Here is hope. Strag-
glers must be. There is still
time to start. Others need a
long time for digesting those im-
pressions and incentives. Maybe
theid decision is reached in our
favor after more mature think-
ing. Besides that often prom-
ised "prosperity" and much-
mooded "normalacy" is still in
embryonic condition. Most peo-
ple are suffering with aggravat-
ed cases of tuberculosis of the
pocketbook. Perhaps the next
war will succeed in making the
world "fit to live in."
The Rev. H. Ander of Hous-
ton has been quite a help to us
during that preparation for the
L. C. Convention, although he
never showed up for personal in-
spection and for the reaping of
our gratitude. He is a busy man
with a many-sided activity.
However, his cots and pads and
pillows were just the proper
thing to rest the weary heads
and minds and memories of our
convention people. Thank you.
Through the kind mediation of
the Rev. W. Utesch of Brenham.the College library has received
a large assortment of books and
magazines and periodicals from
the library of the late Rev. J.
Mgebroff, presented by Mrs. H.
Mgebroff. We know these books
will prove a source of encourage-
ment and information to many of
our students. Many thanks to
the kind donor and her worthy
agent.
L. L. CONVENTION
AT SEGUIN
It has come and gone-like a
huge beam of sunlight, illumi-
nating a beautiful landscape.
The representation was as
strong as ever; perhaps the im-
pressions likewise. Seguin and
the L. C. there is a message in
itself to every young Lutheran
within the confined of our state.
In more than one way it seems
to be the logical and vital cen-
ter for the enterprises envolving
the activity and co-operation of
these young people.
Over 160 people were housed
in the three buildings on the
campus; many had taken their
quarters with friends in town.
The business meetings showed
a fine spirit of conscious duty
and extreme willingness to make
good. The immediate effects,
perhaps, weer not then and there
visible but the spirit of the hour
and the atmosphere of the occas-
ion traveled home with the rep-
resentatives and numerous
guests. It will work like leaven
in the dough of the future-for
good.
The programs showed a fine
ability and refined taste in sel-
ection and execution, giving new
impetus and new standards for
future events of a similar char-
acter.
The common meals, the social
gatherings, and general round-
ups on the campus, and at the
river, helped immensely to fos-
ter the unity in spirit, and aim,
and action. It will be rather
difficult to duplicate this at any
other place.
