The death of Doctor j. n. KildahI
on the 25th OF September took
away from Luther College one OF its
staunchest friends. DR.. Kildahl enter
ed Luther in 1873 and was granted
the A. B degree in the class OF 1879.
Although he Was separated from his
Alma Mater for number of years,
he consistently cherished a warm
feeling for 1t. At the commencement
exercises in 1919 he was present as
the commencement speaker. Those
who were present at the Alumi ban
quet on that occasion, the fortieth
anniversary of his own commence
ment will we'll remember his words,
how glad he was that affairs had
turned themselves so that he could
once more come back to his school
home" and with what pleasure he
walked the old campus where he had
spent his own school days forty
years before. At special meeting on
Monday morning the faculty OF the
college elected President C. K. Preus
as its representative at the funeral to
join with the rest of the church in
Offering sympathy to the bereaved
family.
On Wednesday morning, Sept 21.
Luther College had as it's guest at
the morning chapel Consul General
G. Bic Rayndal of Constantinople,
Turkey. Mr.. Ravndal has three sons
as students at the college, two OF
whom were graduated in the class
OF 1920. After the devotional exer-
cises conducted by Professor c. X.
Preus, Mr.. Ravndal addressed ths
faculty and student body.
Mr.. Ravndars speech took the
form of discussion Of the Bolshev-
istic tendencies now rife in Europe
and the prospects of a union among
the nations. That Bolshevism should
now hold sway was neutral out
come Of existing conditions, said Mr..
Eavndal. In Turkey and the Orient
there is little danger from such ten
denotes, for the foundation of Mo-
hammedau society is respected for
private property. However, in
Europe, it is different. Europe is af-
fiicted with the disease of nations,

sufferings and ills of the ages CEN
tered down on the present genera
tion, exhausted and discouraged
after war which they had expected
would introduce a millennium. The
DELAY in the realization of the ideal
conditions which they had expected
has disheartened them, so that they
are ready to pick up with any new
agitation which promises speedy rS
lief. Conditions have been as they are
after every great war, with a react
icn toward sanity and stability at
from three to FIVE years afterwards.
Mr.. Ravndal said that he is con-
vinced this reaction will come for
It is i'm accordance with one OF
the laws of history that it will. And
when it does come we can hope Tor
some league of nations for the arbi-
tration Of international disputes for
the prevention of wars.
