Historical Note
The Class of 1916 was an Augustana College club founded in 1912 by members of the freshman class of the Collegiate Department. Membership was open to any student “properly enrolled in the said class and not affiliated with any other class.” The only committee created in the Constitution and Bylaws was for “Entertainment,” with the provision that other committees could be created if needed. Conrad Bergendoff, fifth president of Augustana College, signed the freshman class roll in 1912 but graduated with the class of 1915. There is no evidence of the organization’s activities in any of the yearbooks during their time at Augustana.
