The number of theological professors was in time reduced from four to two, and the number of college professors gradually increased. J. H. Bugge was appointed in 1882 to a chair in the college. The result was satisfactory. In 1885 two more college professors were appointed; namely, J. H. Blegen and Theo. S. Reimestad. Then followed the appointments of W. M. Pettersen in I886, and A. M. Hove in 1887. J. L. Nydahl succeeded the late I. H. Bugge in 189I. After the change in the appointment of professors to the college was made, the attendance grew from year to year, and the school prospered in every way. In 1890 Augsburg Seminary became the school of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America, formed by the Union of the Conference, the Anti—Missourian Brother— hood, and the Augustana Synod. The United Church, however, withdrew its support in 1893 and established a new school. Since this time the school has again made progress. The attendance has steadily increased until the accommo— dations have become inadequate. Contributions for the support of the school have come more freely from year to year. In August, 1898, the controversy with the - United Church was finally settled, Augsburg Seminary relinquishing its Endowment Fund on condition that no further claim should be made by the United Church against Augsburg Seminary. This leaves the school practically in the same position in which it was twenty- five years ago as far as financial support is concerned: It is entirely dependent on its friends. Since the founding of the school thirty years ago 111 have graduated from the college department, and 245 from the theological department. Nearly all the graduates are engaged in religious work in Lutheran Churches in America or in Foreign mission fields. Show less

Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869 at Marshall, \Nis. Prof. A. \Nenaas 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 estab- lished 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. Wenaas. 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 Seminary, and the following year at the annual meeting of the Con— ference a second chair in theology was created, to which Prof. S. Oftedal accepted a call and began work the same year. The following year two more theological professors were appointed: namely, G. Sverdrup and S. R. Gun- nerson. The school now had a theological faculty, com- posed of four able, energetic men. But experience soon made it clear that a theological faculty, however able, was not enough to make the school equal to the demands made uoon it. But the lesson had to be learned through years of experience. Show less

The aim of Augsburg Seminary is the education of ministers, qualified for work in a free Lutheran Church. As soon as a young man enters Augsburg Seminary, he at once finds himself surrounded by religious influences, tending to lead him and guide him in his intellectual de— velopment and his spiritual growth, so that during those precious years of youthful enthusiasm he may by earnest study and religious consecration become fitted and strengthened for the hard work and self—sacrificing life of a Christian minister. The example of the Master him— self and his first devoted followers is daily set before the students in order that they may become imbued with the Truth and its saving power, and be filled with the desire to declare it before all men in order to satisfy the greatest wants of and heal the deepest wounds in the human soul.
