THE HYMN THAT HELPED MAKE A GOVERNOR A youth entered Gustavus Adolphus College with the purpose of taking a brief business course. The singing of "A Mighty Fortress Is Our God” by three hundred voices in the chapel of the College so impressed the young man that he determined to continue his studies and get all the College could give him. That young man is now Governor Eberhart of Minnesota.
