The object in view is to develop in the Student a habit of exact definition and the ability of logical and continuous argument. Memor- izing of demonstrations is discouraged, and at every point the attempt is made to throw the student back on his own resources, thus developing in him the faculty of invention and discovery, so necessary in our modern life. Prob— lems are worked both synthetically and analytically. The course includes lines and rectangular figures, circles, loci, ratio, proportion, limits, problems in construction, similar polygons, and area of polygons. Five times a week.

On the other hand it is the duty and the object of all truly reformatory forces within the church to unceasingly point back to the days of the first love and to turn men away from the false notion that the time—honored mis- take or the mistake of the many is no mistake at all. Reformation is to bring back to its original, ideal form, whatever has drifted away from it. It is the aim of Augsburg Seminary to be a truly re- formatory force within the Norwegian Lutheran church. This force may not be strong, and may not be felt by many, but that is no reason why we should not honestly endeavor to do what we consider our God-given duty and calling. For these reasons church history has been given a very prominent place in the curriculum of the Theological department. Besides church history in general the Apos— tolic Age is studied thruout the entire course by means of the Acts of the Apostles and the Apostolic Epistles. The first course consists of the study of the Acts of the Apostles and the history of the early church to the Middle Ages. It is the immediate result of the impres- sion which the Master and His disciples made upon the heathen \v0rld, with its astounding results, showing Him forth as “mighty in deed and word before God and all the people." In the second course the history of the church during the Middle Ages is studied. besides some of the Apostolic Epistles. The beginning of the Middle Ages marks the time of the great missionary movement as the result of which the Germanic world was conquered for the king- dom of Christ. It is only too true that this conquest was not always very Christ-like, and that the results were not in all instances of great intrinsic value, but nevertheless 39%,:AWM. s, A V .4 2‘4 ;,.,_0~';_-.r v.4 Show less

Special Examinations. Students desiring exam- ination after the regular examinations can do so only by permission of the President and by paying a fee of one dollar. This rule aplies to conditioned students and those who have made up work by themselves and wish to take examination for credit. 3. Examinations in the Theological department are hchl the last ten days of May. They consist of written work in the five following subjects: Old Testament, New Testament, Dogmatics, Church History, and Prac- tical Theology. The oral examinations follow, and are conducted by a committee composed of the Theological faculty and two, members selected by the faculty. 111. Class Standings. In determining the standing of a student in any sub- ject, the average monthly standing shall be combined with the results of the final examination in the ratio of two to one.

As the best means of studying the life of our Lord and especially His training of true workers for the King- dom we regard the Gospel according to St. Mark. It is studied synoptically; i. e., the history as recorded by the three other Evangelists is constantly referred to and taken into consideration. In connection with the history of Christ’s life on earth the lipistles of St. Paul are studied historically. This means neither exegesis nor merely introduction. They are studied as historical documents of the greatest value to those who wish to become acquainted with the Apos- tolic Age and to judge it rightly, especially in regard to its conception and teaching of the Gospel of Christ. Both the Gospels and the Epistles are preeminently historical and not dogmatic documents and should be studied as such. But the Gospel record'relates not only to Our Lord; as "good tidings" it stands in a most intimate relation to all mankind. It not only tells about the Messenger; it is in itself a message to a fallen race. This viewpoint is given a special attention in the study of the Gospel ac- cording to St. Luke, which forms the most important part of the second course of New Testament Theology. Under the same viewpoint some of the Epistles of St. Paul are also studied as a part of this course. There is yet another eternal truth of the highest im- portance revealed in the Gospel record and other’New Testament writings. It is the intimate connection be- tween Christ and His church, a connection spoken of by Our Savior himself as like unto that of the Good Shep- herd and his flock and of the true vine and its branches.

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 relinquish- ing 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 condition in which it was thirty years ago, as far as financial support is concerned: it is entirely dependent on its friends. In 1899 the construction was begun of a new, modern building for offices and class rooms. This building was finished in the fall of 1901 at a cost of $43,000 and dedi- cated Jan. 1, 1902. Since the founding of the school forty years ago, 194 have graduated from the college department, and 346 from the theological department. A large majority of the graduates are engaged in religious work in the Luth- eran churches in America or in foreign mission fields. AIM AND DISCIPLINE. The aim of the founders of Augsburg Seminary was the education of young men for the Christian ministry. Specifically they had in view a ministry equipped and fitter] for service in American Lutheran free churches and unbiased by the educational theories and church ideal of the state churches. While the curriculum of the school has been broadened and perfected in the course of time, it has been done along the lines of the foundation principles, and there has been no disposition to waver I ITTI’ T'IIIYT‘ : r7 Show less

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 considerable collection of rare old books, minerals, curios, etc. Professor Ny— dahl is the curator. Contributions should be sent to him. GYM NASIUM. The school recognizes the fact that the physical wel- fare of the students must be given attention, and in View of this a large gymnasium has been provided for. Be— sides the regular instruction, which is given six hours a week, some time is devoted to gymnastic games such as basket ball, hand ball, and the like. 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. Show less

Five times a week. Second Preparatory II. RELIGION. PROFESSORS BLEGEN, HELLAND, HENDRICKSON, HARBO, and EVJEN. Augsburg Seminary is a strictly religious institution, founded and supported by Christian men and women for the distinct purpose of educating young men for the min- istry in Lutheran free churches. It is conceded, however, that many will avail themselves of the instruction in the preparatory and college departments without ever enter- ing on the study of theology. It is therefore the aim of the Seminary to give to all its students a thoro religious instruction, which extends thruout the entire preparatory and college courses. For we firmly believe that Chris- tian experience is the one thing needed for all men, and that godliness is profitable unto all things; therefore we consider religious instruction necessary and essential to a sound and safe development of a young man, especially at college. Furthermore, our students are eagerly sought by the congregations as teachers in their parochial schools. and for this reason we regard it as the duty of the Sem- inary to enable the students to meet this demand satis- factorily. At Augsburg Seminary, therefore, there are not only regular devotional exercises, prayer meetings, missionary meetings, etc., but religious instruction forms an essential part of each of the courses of the Seminary.

The fee is decided upon from year to year; it is usually 50c for the first semester and 75c for the second. The members are entitled to free medical attendance, but no student may receive aid ex- ceeding $15 in any one school year. The Students’ Missionary Society was organized in 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 mission- aries, pastors and other mission workers. The past three years the society has raised neat sums for a missionary library. The Prohibition League. This society seeks by lec- tures and discussions to educate students in practical tem- perance work. It has been very successful in its efforts to enlist students in the movement for temperance re- form, and several of its members have rendered good service in this cause thru the Northwest. THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION. For the purpose of fostering and regulating athletics in general, the students have formed an association called The Augsburg Athletic Association.

AUGSBURG SEMINARY was organized in 1869 and began its work at Marshall, Dane county, Wis. In 1872 the school was removed to Minneapolis, Minn, to its present location corner Seventh Street and Twenty-first Avenue S. Prof. A. Weenaas was the first president. He was succeeded in June, 1876 by Prof. G. Sverdrup, who has served continuously since. The faculty as at present constituted, consists of Prof. S. Oftedal, elected in 1873, Prof. G. Sverdrup elected in 1874, Prof. J. H. Blegen and Prof. Theo. S. Reimestad elected in 1885, Prof. W. M. Pettersen elected in 1886, Prof. A. M. Hove elected in 1887, and Prof. J. L. N ydahl elected in 1891. The aim of Augsburg Seminary is the education of ministers, qualified for the work in a free Lutheran Church. As soon as a young man enters Augsburg Seminary, he at once finds himself surrounded by relig- ious influences, tending to lead him and guide him in his intellectual development 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 exam- ple of the Master himself 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 deep- est wounds in the human soul.

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 sermon 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 preparation. 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 Theologioe 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. Every student is eligible to membership and by paying a monthly due of twenty cents becomes entitled to free medical care during sickness. Show less
