As soon as a young man enters Augsburg Seminary, he at once finds himself surrounded by religious in- fluences, tending to lead him and guide him in his in- tellectual development and his spiritual growth, so that during those precious years of youthful enthusiasm he may by earnest study and religious consecration be- come fitted and strengthened for the hard work and self-sacrificing life of a Christian minister. The ex— ample of the Master himself and his first devoted fol- , lowers is daily set before the students in order that they may become imbued with the Truth and its sav- ing power, and be filled with the desire to declare it before all men in order to satisfy the greatest wants of the human soul. Spiritual life and Christian character are consid— ered of infinitely higher importance than mere knowl— edge. No amount of reading, no memorizing of facts, no mental or intellectual ability are of any real value to the Christian minister without personal experience of saving grace and firm and manly conviction of the truth as it is in Jesus. 'At the same time there is needed the most thorough study of the Word of God, and no branch of human knowledge, which may pre— pare the student for his special work, or be helpful to him in it, can be considered indifferent. It is also an essential principle of Augsburg Sem— inary, that no so—called higher education, which tends to develop aristocratical or hierarchical tendencies among the students, is Christian in character or in ac— cordance with the highest interests of a free people and its institutions. It is necessary always to retain the Christian conception of true greatness: “Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant,” and not use higher education as a means of introducing any caste-division among the people and especially of caus- ing any estrangement between ministers and the be— lievers in the Church.

The New Seminary Building occupies the south— west corner of the Seminary grounds, fronting towards Eighth Street. It is built practically on a level with the other buildings on the grounds and presents a rather imposing elevation when seen from the street below. This impression cannot be conveyed by any photograph, as a camera necessarily must be placed at some distance to be able to focus such a large object. Furthermore, the large and symmetrical scale on which every detail of the building is drawn, the simplicity of construction, and the uniformity in dimension (about IOOXIOO feet) combine to deceive the eye both when the structure is seen from a distance and as a solitary object on an engraving. Of architecture and construction on the whole the engraving of course gives a “sufficiently .clear idea. The architecture is uniformly classic, leaving on tlie mind that impression of simplicity and harmony which especially characterizes purely. Greek architecture. The material used in construction for exterior walls above foundation is mottled brown or old-gold colored pressed brick with Kasota stone and terra cotta. The cornices, acroteria on porches and roof, and railings on porch and projections are of galvanized iron. The roof is slate. The ornamentations by which the wall surfaces are relieved, aside from arches and belts in the brick—work proper, consist mainly in panels of terra cotta above the first story windows and between the windows of the gymnasium and the chapel on the west side and a long frieze over the middle group of first story windows on the east wall. The principal orna— ment of the building, however, is the exceedingly ef- fective relief given to the front by the prostyle portico with its columns of polished red granite in front. The rear elevation is made to look finished by a buttressed projection surrounding the entrance and forming a diminutive balcony under the large and artistic win— dows lighting the first and second story halls from this side. - However, the true character of the building must be judged by its interior plan and construction. Here we find the designs in perfect harmony with the exterior. The symbolical figure of a lighted torch in the terra cotta of the exterior is again found in the only orna- Show less

Show more4 AUGSBURG SEMINARY Augsburg Seminary subordinates all its work, its whole curriculum, its management and its discipline, to these principles. They are underlying and deter— mining every detail of the work of the school. No branch of study is taken up, and no arrangement of time or work is made without this purpose. Thus it is attempted to educate ministers, who combine thor— ough knowledge of the divine word with Christian character, and who know how to work in the spirit of brotherly love and sympathy with the people in the churches. HISTORICAL. Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869 at Mar- shall, W’is. Prof. A. \Venaas was placed in charge. The aim was to educate ministers for free Lutheran Churches. The idea was new to the Norwegians, and the school could not be modeled after the institutions of the established church of Norway. The school has, therefore, had more difficulties to contend with than the Seminaries established later. The supporters of Augsburg Seminary were at first connected with the Swedish Augustana Synod. When in 1870, they parted from the Swedes and organized the Conference, the school was left without buildings, and for about two years was conducted in a rented hall by Prof. VVenaas. But the energetic and practical Rev. 0. Paulson, at that time in charge of a church in Minneapolis, took up the work of securing suitable quarters. He obtained grounds in Minneapolis, raised about $4,000 in cash, and in 1872 had a three—story brick veneered building ready to receive the school. This gave courage to the supporters of the Sem— inary, and the following year at the annual meeting of the Conference at second chair in theology was created, to which Prof. Sven Oftedal accepted a call and began work the same year. i In 1874 two more theological professors were ap— pointed: namely, G. Sverdrup and S. R. Gunnerson. The school now had a theological faculty, composed of four able, energetic men. But experience soon made it clear that a theological faculty, however able, was not Show less

The num— ber of theological professors was in'time reduced from four to two, and the number of college professors gradually increased. H. Bugge was appointed in 1882 to a chair in the college. The result was satis— factory. In 1885 two more college professors were appointed; namely, J. H. Blegen and Theo. S. Reini— stad. Then followed the appointments of. W. M. Pet— tersen in 1886, and A. M. Hove in 1887. J. L. Nydahl succeeded the late J. H. Bugge in 1891, and H. N. Hendrickson succeeded T. S. Reimestad in 1900. Prof. A. M. Hove resigned in September, 1991. In 1898 Rev. H. A. Urseth was appointed to teach theology instead of Prof. S. Oftedal, who then had a year’s vacation.’ And in 1899 the growing demand for an English Professor in theology led to the appoint- ment of Prof. Urseth in that capacity. In 1890 Augsburg Seminary became the theological school of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, formed by the union of the Conference, the Anti-Missourian Brotherhood, and the Augustana Synod. The United Church, however, withdrew its support in 1893, and established a new school. This led to a legal controversy with the United Church. which was finally settled in August, 1898, Augsburg Seminary relinquishing its Endowment Fund on con— dition that no further claim should be made by the United Church against Augsburg Seminary. This leaves the school practically in the same condition in which it was twenty—five years ago, as far as financial .support is concerned; it is entirely dependent on its friends. In 1899 the foundation was laid to a new, modern building for offices and class rooms. This building, of which a description will be found elsewhere in this catalogue, was finished in the fall of 1901 and dedi- cated Jan. 1, 1902. Since the founding of the school thirty-three years ago 150 have graduated from the college department, and 286 from the theological department. Nearly all the graduates are engaged in religious work in the Lutheran Churches in America or in Foreign mission fields. Show less

The general impression given by the interior plan is the generous proportion of halls and rooms and the easy and convenient arrangement of every detail. There are no low ceilings, not even in the basement, and no dark halls. Broad halls, the entrances to which are so arranged as to admit a rich flow of light through glass—paneled doors and well lighted vestibules, run through the whole length of all floors, and from these halls every part of the building is conveniently reached. From either front or rear the interior is reached through vestibules with inlaid colored tile floor and with white tile wainscoting. A landing opens on a flight of steps ahead leading to the hall of the first floor, and stairs to the right and left leading to the basement. With the exception of the stairs, the wood— work in all parts of the basement is of white pine. The floor is of ordinary sidewalk flagstones. Here library, reading room, gymnasium, lavatories, the nucleus of the Augsburg museum, and in the north— east corner the repair room and the boiler room. are located. The floors of all ordinary rooms here as elsewhere in the building are of hard pine. The lava— tories have tile floors and are perfectly equipped with tub- and shower baths and every other modern acces— sory. Every floor directly above is similarly equipped, the one on the second floor, however, having no baths. All baths are furnished with both hot and cold water. The gymnasium reaches nearly one. half into the first story and is consequently very well adapted to its purpose. It will simplify matters to note here that the chapel' is located directly above the gymnasium. Two immense steel girders support the floor of the chapel, and thus obviate the necessity of pillars in the gymnasium. Gymnasium and chapel, then. occupy all space from basement floor to the rafters. This is somewhat of an irregularity, but an exceedingly taste— ful and convenient one notwithstanding. Returning to the landing opening on the hall of the first floor’. a flight of broad steps leads up to this floor. Here as in the second story all wood-work, aside from floors. is polished red oak—the massive cross—paneled doors, the casings for doors and win— dows, the wainscoting in the halls, stairs, posts and balustrades, all reflecting the: same rich golden color.
