The Augsburg Seminary Library comprises the books of the Old Library, the Heggtveit Addition, the Idun Library, the Missionary Library, and the nucleus of a Temperance Library. Additions are being made from time to time. The encyclopedic, the literary, and the historical collections are especially valuable. The matter at present unbound will, when bound, materially add to both the quantity and the quality of our books. By special arrangement students of Augsburg now have the privilege of using a large number of the Public Library’s books, without having to go to the Library for them. For this we are under special obligation to Miss Countryman, Librarian of the Minneapolis Public Li— brary. THE MUSEUM. Some years back the beginning was made of a muse— um for the Seminary. The Alumni association became interested, and its members made many valuable gifts. There is a Madagascar collection, a Santhal collection, a considerable collection of rare old books, minerals, curios, etc. Professor Nydahl is the curator. Contribu- tions should be sent to him.

At least two hours of regular gymnasium work is required of all students taking work in the Preparatory department and the first year of the college. The gymnasium is also open to all students in the upper classes who desire exercise in order to build up their general health. BOARDING CLUB. The students have conducted a boarding club since 1872, the necessary accommodations being furnished by the Seminary. The club is managed by the students on the co—operative plan, and each student gets table board at actual cost. As the club is able to obtain supplies at wholesale prices, it can furnish board at lower rates than can be done by restaurants or private boarding houses. LITERARY SOCIETIES. The Students" Union is an organization of the whole student body. The Union meets twice a month, once to transact business in which the whole student body is in- terested, and for parliamentary practice. The Second meeting of the month usually consists of a literary and musical program, a lecture or a public debate. The Alpha Sigma consists of Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. During the last year this society has offered very interesting programs and has mani- fested great zeal in its work. The society meets twice a month. The Lyceum draws its membership from the Third and Fourth Preparatory classes. It meets twice a month. The Forward is the literary society of the first and second classes of the Preparatory Department. Meet- ings are held twice a month. Show less

The meet- ings are very interesting and helpful. The Oratoflcal Association. A growing interest in public speaking and debating has deVeloped among the students of late years, due in large measure to the stimulus given by the prizes offered by the Free Church Book Concern and the annual! con- tests held by the Prohibition League. To unify and promote the work in public speaking, The Augsburg Oratorical Assmiation was organized in 1908. Under supervision of the faculty it has charge of all oratorical contests and debates. M USICAL ORGANIZATIONS. The Augsburg Glee Club is composed of students who show marked musical ability and interest. Those who would become members must possess good voice, good car, and fair ability to read music at sight. Several of the masterpieces of choral music for male voices are studied during the year and rendered at the various so- cial gatherings and concerts at the Seminary and in the local churches. Harry Anderson is leader- The Augsburg Mole Chorus is the oldest musical organization in the Seminary. Its aim is to drill stu- dents in practical chorus work and develop their taste for good music. All students who have good ear and some knowledge of musical notation may became mem- bers. Harry Anderson is leader. The Augsburg Bond was organized in 1904.

The Augsburg [Medical Aid Society, organized in 1879, is an organization for the mutual aid of members in case of sickness. All students who room at the Sem« inary are members of the society. Students rooming outside but who take their meals in the Boarding Club may also be admitted as members. The fee is decided upon from year to year; it is usually $1.50 a year. The members are entitled to free medical attendance, but no student may receive aid exceeding $15 in any one school year. The S tudeuts’ Missionary Society was organized 1885. It has awakened among the students a remarkable interest both in Home and Foreign Missions. The first missionary sent to heathen lands by Norwegian Luther— ans in America was a charter member of this society. The programs, which are given once a month, consist of reports by students and lectures by prominent missiom aries, pastors and other mission workers. The Prohibition League. This society seeks by lec- tures and discussions to educate students in practical temperance work.
