Show moreSTUDENT PERSONAL SERVICES 39 COUNSELING The purpose of counseling is to give the student individual help in all areas of adjustment to college life. The insight and techniques of adjustment will also serve him later in life. Each freshman and new student is assigned a faculty member who may serve as his counselor for two years. Counselors for juniors and seniors are their major advisers. The Dean of Students and the Dean of Women act as general counselors to all students. The Faculty counselor helps the student plan his educational program and choose appropriate subjects. The student learns to understand his own abilities and aptitudes through the analysis and interpretation of test data by his counselor. Through a system of referral, students may obtain counsel from any member of the faculty, or from qualified persons within the college community. VOCATIONAL COUNSELING Vocational counseling is introduced to freshmen through the use of a vocational interest test. An Occupational Information file in the college library provides study materials for vocational planning. Career conferences annually bring many professional people to the campus for group sessions and individual counseling on job opportunities. PERSONAL COUNSELING Students who have personal problems may find help through discussing the problem with their counselor. Personal finances, housing, and similar problems are common topics of discussions. Students who have spiritual problems may confer with their coun- selors, or other faculty members, such as members of the Depart- ment of Christianity and the College Pastor. HOUSING Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall provides housing for about 150 men. Fifty women are accommodated at Sivertsen Hall, with Morton Hall housing twenty, Miriam House and Edda House each housing eighteen, and Morton Annex, twelve.

The General Educational Development tests are available to service men through the Armed Forces Institute. All tests may, however, be taken at Augsburg by arrangement with the Registrar. The College reserves the right to reject the applications of stu- dents whose previous records or aptitudes, as measured by tests, indicate they may have difficulty with college work. Deficiencies Applicants who have been accepted for admission with a de- ficiency in English will be required to register for a special course in English. Such deficiency and the requirements with regard to additional training will be determined at the beginning of the Freshman year by means of tests. The requirements include the attainment of definite standards as to spelling, grammar, pro- nunciation, and general correctness in the use of the English lan- guage. Transfer and Advanced Standing Students are accepted by transfer from other institutions if they did satisfactory work and were otherwise in good standing there. If their previous work was unsatisfactory, they will be admitted at Augsburg only under special circumstances. Advanced standing in any subject is granted to students who present satisfactory credentials from other institutions. In certain cases advanced standing is granted on the basis of examinations. This is true of veterans whose achievement in the college General Educational Development Tests warrants the granting of some Junior College credit. Admission of Veterans Veterans may study at Augsburg under the “G. I. Bill of Rights” or the Vocational Rehabilitation Act. The veteran must secure a certificate of eligibility from the regional office of the Veterans Administration and present it at the time of registra- tion.

So in 1874 a college cur- riculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for the professions. 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 I910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college course was thoroughly revised. As a result of this and of subse- quent growth, the earlier classical course was greatly modified and supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general emphasis upon the study of the humanities. In recent years there has been continuous study and modification of the curriculum in— cluding the introduction of a number of new majors to meet the developing needs of the students. The Divisional organization was adopted in I 945. At the present time majors are offered in 16 fields. Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1921. In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been a continu- ing revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses. The requirement of a six—month period of internship was added in 1939. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bach— elor’s degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic prepara- tion. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved this arrangement to be mutually Wholesome and stimulating. Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its history. The terms of office of two of these cover a span of over half a century. The first president was August Weenaas, Who served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, 1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from I907 to 1911 and was followed by George Sverdrup, whose term extended from I 9:1 to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from I937 until I938.‘ Bernhard Christensen, the present president, has served since that time. Show less
