experience that totaled only two years but would serve him for a lifetime. In 1936, at age 16, Marvin Ramstad left the family farm in North Dakota after graduating from high school. He was headed to Pacific Lutheran College where his cousin, Anders Ramstad (for whom Ramstad Hall was later named), was a professor of science, mathematics and religion and dean of men.
