Along Life's Journey
Ken Bird, 1972
Stained Glass
Along Life's Journey
It twists. It turns. It starts and then it seems to stop. There an be open desolate areas or
spots of incredible brightness. But despite
its ragged edges life's journey goes on. And every once in a while there are people who have
such an influence on you, they seem to pierce your very
existence. Such a person was Dr. Lucy Fryxell in my journey. With her love of language and
passion for literature, she gave me an appreciation
for boh the structure of our words and their ability to communicate. She truly nourished my
love affair with our language and taught me
one undeniable truth. What good is the greatest gift, our spirit,
unless we are able to communicate and share it?
That, to me, is the essence of life's journey.
Fryxell Portico
In the summer of 2003 the Mikkelsen Library portico was both rebuilt and refurbished to enhance the entrance into the building. Major funding for the project was provided by the Fryxell Family in the memory of Lucy Dickinson Fryxell, Professor of English, Augustana (1953-1984) and Donald Fryxell, Professor of English, Augustana (1953-1980). The stained glass window in the entry was designed and created by Ken Bird (Augustana, English Major, 1972), to honor the many contributions of Lucy & Don Fryxell.

Sacrificial Land
Bob Aldern
Oil on Masonite
Mikkelsen Library Collection
This painting, acquired in 2002, represents the northeast area of South Dakota during the early thirties; specifically, between Roslyn and Webster from about 1932-1934.
It is Aldern's interpretation of the drought days of that time. Aldern was a young kid then and experienced the crops being replaced by the cockleburs, thistles, and parched earth of the day.
