Show moreHISTORICAL STATEMENT AUGSBURG SEMINARY, the divinity school of the Lutheran Free Church, was founded in 1869. It is the oldest Norwegian Lutheran school of its kind in America. From its foundation until 1890 it was the Theological Seminary of the Norwegian- Danish Conference, and from 1890 until 1893 it served as the divinity school of the United Norwe- gian Lutheran Church of America. Since the latter date it has been connected with the Lutheran Free Church movement. For several years prior to 1869 the Scandinavian Augustana Synod had maintained a Theological Sem- inary at Paxton, Illinois. This institution served both the Swedish and the Norwegian churches of that Synod as a union seminary. The founding of Augsburg Seminary was the result of a mutual agreement to divide the Paxton school and to estab- lish a separate institution to serve the Norwegian congregations, as it was quite evident that the in- terests of the Norwegian branch of the Augustana Synod would in that way be served to greater ad- vantage. Augsburg Seminary commenced its work in Sep- tember 1869 at Marshall, a small village in Dane County, Wisconsin, and was at first connected with “Marshall Academy.” In the fall of 1870 it was separated from that institution, and during the sum- mer of 1872 it was moved to Minneapolis. A pre- paratory curriculum has been maintained from the beginning, consisting at first of a one-year course, but later developed and enlarged into complete Academic and College Divisions. The beginning was insignificant; the congrega- tions supporting the school were neither large nor Show less
