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 Au gustana 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

Show moreAUGSBURG SE MINARY. 7 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

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
