The ordinary practical studies are pursued and in two years the student is expected to obtain a second grade teachers certificate and work as a teacher in the congregations during the vacation. The College Department, a classical course of four years, continues the work of the Preparatory Department. The work is specially designed for those who 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 languages. Latin and German rank next. Norwegian and English receive special attention. The History of the Church and the New Testament in the original, form the basis for the instruction in religion. General History, Norwegian and English Literature are carefully studied. The graduates from this course receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The Theological Department gives a thorough and scientific course of three years in Theology. And the end constantly kept in mind is to develop the spiritual side of the student and make him an earnest and consecrated as well as trained worker in the vineyard of our Lord. TERMS OF ADMISSION. Students are admitted to the Preparatory Department without examination. Candidates for advanced classes must pass a satisfactory entrance examination. All appli~ cations for admission to the College and Preparatory De- partment must be made to the President by Sept. J5th. Those desiring to enter the Theological Department, must apply to the President before Aug. 15th. Applicants must furnish evidence of moral character and Christian experi- ence to the Theological Faculty, before they can be ad- mitted. EXPENSES. The expenses for one year are about as follows, Tuition and room rent . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..$25.00 Board at $1.50 a week for 30 weeks. 45.00 Books, etc . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..25.00 Total . . . . . . . . . . . . . .$95.00 The theological students and the Seniors who intend to study for the ministry, do not pay tuition and room rent.

It contains over 1200 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. DAILY ROUTINE.

The students naturally turn to societies for recreation and improvement, and several societies aside from those for debating, which form a part of the prescribed work in every class, have been organized. Among these is an association, brought into existence in 1876, 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. ' A total abstinence sooiety has also existed for many years and has done much to foster the Christian temper- ance work that has been carried on so actively and suc- cessfully 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, and it has sent within a few years four missionaries to Madagascar and one to China. Several are now preparing to follow them. The work at home has been pushed as well. Sunday-schools have been organized and conducted by it and prayer meetings have been held regularly in places where the needs were 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 also a sermon. Numerous prayer meetings are also arranged by the students. The day’s work closes with devotional exercises in the students’ room. It can be said with reason that the “\Vord of Christ dwells with us richly”. Show less
