E. Bale Cicero said, "Man was born for two things: thinking and acting." This statement is worthy of consideration. For ex-ample, in civilized society is it sufficient to be just a thinker or an actor without regard to which course one's thoughts or actions take? The criminal who carefully plans and executes his robberies is thinking and acting, but we say his acts are perverted and his energies misdirected. Likewise is it with the man who practices dishonesty in business, or spends his time in illicit liquor dealing On the other hand, we say, the man who plans and works to make his farm productive, or to expend his business in a legitimate way is doing something to benefit civilization. It becomes quite apparent that thinking alone is not suffi-cient to build a useful life, but it is the direction which one's thoughts and acts take which is the deciding factor. CONCORDIA'S HOME-COMING. The two-day home-coming at Concordia college will celebrate the achievement of the college in raising an endowment fund which went beyond the expectations of the most optimistic mem-bers of the college board and faculty. A banquet, speeches, a football game and a parade are but a part of the program ar-ranged. Among the outstanding speakers is Senator Henrik Shipstead, whose ability as a speaker is well known to many Moorhead people. The presence of a United States senator will add dignity to the occasion. • ' * The committee in charge of the home-coming is to be con-gratulated upon securing Senator Shipstead as the speaker for this important event in Concordia's history; but that is not all they have done, for Hans Hobe, Norwegian consul at St. Paul will be present to confer upon Prof. J. A. Holvik, head of the Norse department of the college, the order of the Knights of St. Olaf. Prof. Holvik has won this distinction by his work in spreading Norwegian culture in this country and because of his untiring service during the Norse Centennial held in Minneapolis last year. Students of the college—past and present—will long remem-ber the festivities of 1926, which will stand out because of the noted speakers, the splendid program, and the fact that it marks the celebration of the successful completion of the drive for en-dowment. Citizens of Moorhead will rejoice with the college board, faculty and students of Concordia. They will hope that the weather may be favorable, that the response of past students may be hearty, that the football team may win and that the occa-sion may advance the progress of the college. ;J This will be a great occasion for the alumni whose hopes for their alma mater are being realized. They are of the past and look to the future, conscious of the inspiration of their teach-ers and looking to the days when the college, enlarged as to fac-ulty, student body and buildings, will be taking a larger place in the life of the northwest. In this growth they have had a part for their enthusiasm helped to put across the endowment drive. They will meet once more with others who passed through the halls of Concordia, sentiments will have their play and around the bonfire memory will recall stirring struggles on the field, diffi-cult problems of the class rooms, friendships that endure, and influences that live. Stirred by such memories they will thank God for the past, rejoice in the present and envisage a greater Concordia of the future.

FORMER CONCORDIA TEACHER TO DO MISSIONARY WORK IN ALASKA (Continued from Page One) one Eskimo at our table, that is Earn-est, our two year old. He is a very interesting little man and so good. He is just learning to talk and learns English and Eskimo at the same time. He is a pretty good teacher for me because he says only one word at a time in place of long sentences and then he keeps on saying the same word over and over. "B" means "all gone" and "akikak" means "pretty." You say these aa if they were Norwe-gian. "We are kind of far away from the rest of the world here, but with something to do it will not be so bad. We have a nice location. Back of us and to the sides are high hills with mountains behind. In front of us across the bay we sec Teller and back of it are high mountains. I have not been to Teller yet, but every time I hear about the population, it grows less. "I will have eight beginners in school this year. It will be hard at first for me to remember that these children have seen so little. They Cobbers Hold Oles To 26-0 Scores (Continued from Pace 1) 25 yard line.
