Show moreAUGSBURG COLLEGE AND THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY la LI STUDENT COMMUNITY LIFE CHRISTIAN ENVIRONMENT The influences which mould life and character on a college cam- pus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory, and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but very real supplementary influences have much to do with creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg definite em- phasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious attention to this personal and spiritual side of their development and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus. It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augs- burg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at— mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayer- fully fostered in the life of each student. In order to help toward attaining these goals the faculty and students gather in chapel every day for a brief meditation upon the Word of God and the deepest needs of the human soul. Reg- ular attendance is expected of all students. All students are re- quired to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses offered in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious ac- tivities in which students are urged to participate. Spiritual Em- phasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed that every Augs- burg student will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly. CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES Augsburg’s location in Minneapolis gives its students unique opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and cultural advantages which the Northwest has to offer. Excellent art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to in— tellectual and cultural stimulus and development. Show less

The entire program of the school, curricular and extra-curricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim “to see all things through the eyes of Christ.” Enrolment in Augsburg College and Theological Seminary pre- supposes on the part of the student full cooperation in the ways prescribed for the attainment of these aims. HISTORICAL SKETCH Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869, at Marshall, Wiscon- sin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed in the academy building. Students who needed further prepara- tion in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out satisfactorily; so the theological group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers for the Lu- theran congregations which were being organized in growing num- bers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest. It soon became evident that in order to get students who were adequately prepared for theological study a college de- partment was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare stu- dents for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for the pro- fessions. The latter course, however. had to be discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too few students selected the course. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879. In 1900 a high school course covering three years was established which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college course was thoroughly revised in conformity with modern develop- Show less
