All applications for admission must be made to the President at least one month before the opening of the school. No student will be admitted to the Theo- logical Departmeut unless he can furnish to the Faculty evidence of moral character and Christian experience. EXPENSES. The expenses for one year are about as follows: Tuition . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .8525 00 ‘Board at $1.50 a week for 30 weeks. . 45 00 Books, etc . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. 25 00 $95 00 :The theological students and the seniors, who are pre- paring for the ministry, pay no tuition. BOARDING. The students have conducted the boarding since 1872. As all purchases are made at wholesale prices and the most rigid economy is practised, the result is, good, substantial board at a very low figure. LIBRARIES. The Seminary library was begun in 1869 with the modest sum of $217.00. It also received a number of Swedish and Danish books from the Augustana Seminary at Paxton, Ill. Important works have been added from time to time, partly by purchase, partly by gifts until the library now owns over 2,000 volumes. “ IDUN,” a library begun in 1876 by the students, is maintained by them and every year a respectable number of good books is added. It contains over 1,200 volumes of the choicest literature in the Norwegian and English languages. Two reading rooms, one for magazines, the other for daily and weekly papers, are also maintained. The best of its kind in the two languages is on file and the students have free access to them at all times.» Show less

Morning prayers, led by one of the professors, are held in the chapel at 7 :45 a. m., Saturdays 8:00 a. m. The students observe study hours I after 4:00 p. m. MUSIC Receives due attention, as instruction by competent teachers is provided. EXAMINATIONS. Examinations for the Greek and Preparatory Depart- ments are held the first week in May, except for the Senior class. Their examinations begin a week earlier. Commencement takes place in the Seminary Chapel May 7th. The examinations in the Theological Department are held in May. The preliminary work consists of a ser- mon prepared in the course of two weeks on a topic, assigned by the Faculty; and of a sermon, delivered before the class and the Faculty, after three hours prep— aration. The examinations proper consist of written work in the following four branches: Old Testament, New Testament, Dogmatics and Church History, and oral work before a committee composed of the Faculty and two members, appointed by the Faculty. The degree of Candidatus Theologicc is conferred upon the successful candidates. SOCIETIES. The students naturally turn to societies for recreation and improvement, and several societies aside from those for debating, which form a part of the regular work in every class, have been organized. Among these is an association, organized in 1879, to care for the sick. Show less

The Seminary has three departments. THE PRE- PARATORY DEPARTMENT offers a course of two years in the ordinary practical studies. The religious training— the first year in Norwegian, the second in English— tends to awaken spiritual life as well as to impart mere religious information, As a rule only such are admitted, who have some thought of entering the services of the Church. THE GREEK DEPARTMENT offers a classical course of four years. The work is especially designed for such as have the ministry in view. Greek, therefore, the language of the New Testament and the early church, occupies the leading place in the study of the languages. Latin and German receive due attention. Norwegian and English languages and literature are carefully studied. The History of the Church and the New Testament in the original, form the basis for the religious instruction. General History is given due consideration. The gradu— ates from this department receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. THE THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT gives a thorough course of three years in theology. The end kept 0011-, stantly in mind is to develop the spiritual side of the student that he may become an earnest and consecrated as well as a well-trained worker in the vineyard of the Lord. TERMS OF ADMISSION. Students are admitted into the Preparatory Depart- ment without examination. Those desiring to enter Show less

Show moreAUGSBURG SEMINARY. 7 Every student is eligible to membership and by paying a monthly due of twenty cents becomes entitled to free medical care during sickness. A total abstinence society has existed for many years and has done much to foster the Christian temperance work that is carried on so actively and successfully throughout the Northwest. A missionary society was organized in 1885. It has awakened among the students a remarkable interest in both home and foreign missions. Within a few years five missionaries have gone to Madagascar and one to China. Several are now preparing to enter the mission field. The work at home has not been neglected, how- ever, as Sunday schools are now conducted by it and prayer meetings are held regularly in places where the needs are urgent. RELIGIOUS EXERCISES Are essential to the spiritual welfare of a school. And Augsburg Seminary has provided for these. Morning prayers are held in the Seminary Chapel every week day, led by one of the professors. On Saturday the services include a sermon. Numerous prayer meetings are arranged by the students. The day’s work closes with devotional exercises in the students’ rooms. It can be said with reason that the “Word of Christ dwells with us richly.” Show less
