It is well for the student to know in his Freshman year what major line of study he will pursue. Students who are still undecided as to their major choice when they appear for registration in the Junior year, should. before they register, consult with the Matriculation Com- mittee and the heads of the departments concerned, in order to determine their field of major work. When a student enters the Junior year he shall have de- termined in what field of study he will specialize, so that the work in the majors and minors may be well planned. The major subject is determined by the student's par- ticular interests and aptitudes as shown in the quality of work he has done in the Junior College, where basic courses prerequisite to the major are offered in sequences which lay the foundation for the major work. For major and minor requirements as to hours of credit see departmental statements. ELECTIVES Electives are made with the purpose of properly distribut- ing a student's choices among the iundamental fields of knowledge and culture, as well as among the correlatives of the major. Senior College students should, as a rule. choose their electives from courses designated as Senior College Courses.

A credit equals one recitation period a week throughout one semester. Honor points are computed at the rate of one honor point for each credit with a grade at C, two honor points for each Show less

Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION 23 From year to year the choir has toured in various parts or the United States, singing an average at eighteen concerts during each season. Their itinerary has included the West Coast, Canada, and a number of the Mid-western states. Under the direction of Professor Opseth, programs are selected from the masters of sacred music, from the Classi- cists, and from all schools, including the modern. Membership in the choir is based upon successful tryouts, musical aptitude, academic standing, and rating as a regular college student. Choral Club. The Augsburg Choral Club fills the role of second choir, and is a distinct organization, functioning as a concert group. Each year it is heard in a number of Twin City performanCes in addition to its short concert tours into other parts of Minnesota and neighboring states. Band. Students interested are given opportunity for active participation in the band, an organization which is growing year by year. Besides its concert performances the band has been popular at Augsburg’s athletic contests. Miscellaneous Groups. In addition to the Choir, Choral Club, and Band, there are at Augsburg many smaller musical groups, both vocal and instrumental ranging from men's and ladies’ tries and quartets to organizations of greater mem- bership. For many years Augsburg has sent out among the churches duos, trios, quartets, and similar groups. These organizations are usually formed and directed by the students themselves. JOURNALISM For those with interests in Journalism several avenues are open for securing practical experience in Campus publica- tions. The College paper, The Augsburg Echo, is best adapted for this purpose. Besides serving the need for such a pub- lication at the school, it is given considerable circulation among high schools in the Northwest. The Augsburglan is published as a biennial, giving a story of Augsburg life in word and picture. The Press Club functions as a news circulating agency. Items of information concerning students are relayed to their home communities. HONORS Honors are given each spring at the Ail-Activities Honor Banquet in recognition of students who have taken note- worthy part in student activities. Show less
