Lomen presented, last year, two hundred volumes of choice theological works, the private library of her deceased husband, Prof. K. O. Lomen. This library owns now over 2000 volumes. “Idun”, a library begun in 1876 by the students, is maintained by them and every year it receives 3 respec- table number of good books. It contains about 1200 vol- umes of the choicest literature in the Norwegian and English languages. In connection with the library are two reading rooms, one for magazines, the other for daily and weekly papers. The best of its kind in the two languages is on file and the students have free access to them. The magazines can also be taken out. ’ DAILY ROUTINE. The school is in session from 8:00 a. m. to 1:00 p. m., five days in the week. 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 after 4:00 p. m. MUSIC. This important subject is duly cared for, as instruction by competent teachers is provided. Several choirs also exist and are conducted by able leaders. EXAMINATIONS. The spring examinations for the College and Prepara- tory Departments are held the first week in May, except for the Senior class. Their examinations begin a week earlier and are partly written, partly oral, while the work in the other classes is all written. Commencement takes place in the Chapel May 7th, when the graduates receive their diplomas as Bachelors of Art. The examinations in the Theological Department come in May. The preliminary work consists of a sermon, pre- pared 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 ex- aminations proper consist of written work in the follow- ing four branches : Old Testament, New Testament, Dog- Show less

The Con— ference endowed two theological professorships, the Anti-Missourian Brotherhood two, and the Augustana Synod one. But the difficulties have not all been material. It has taken time and much thought and study to plan the work of the school to suit the circumstances. The stu— dents had to be recruited from the congregations in the countrynfrom the very plow, so to speak. A preparatory training was, therefore, absolutely necessary before they could take up the study of theology. Yet this prepara— tory work must be an essential part of their education for the ministry. How to arrange this had to be solved by experience. In the course of time, after trying various methods, the following system has resulted and has been used successfully for the last ten years: A Preparatory Department comes first, into which students are admitted without examination; but as the accommodations are limited, only such as a rule are admitted as have some thought of entering the service of the Church. Here the religious trainingithe first year in Norwegian, the second in English~tends to awaken spir— itual life as much as to impart mere religious informa- tion. The ordinary practical studies are pursued and after finishing this two years’ course the students expect to obtain a second grade teacher’s certificate and during vacations to work as teachers in the congregations. The College Department, a four years‘ classical course, continues the work of the Preparatory Department. The work is specially designed for those who have the minis— try in View. Greek, therefore, the language of the New Testament and the earlyChurch, occupies a leading place in the study of languages. Latin and German rank next. As a majority of the students are true bi-linguals, their two mother tongues, 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. Show less

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 wel— fare of a school. And Augsburg Seminary has provided for these. Morning prayers are held in the Seminary Chapel every week day, being led by one of the professors. On Saturday the services include also a sermon. Numer- ous prayer meetings are also arranged by the students. The day's work closes with devotional exercises in the students‘ rooms. It can be said with reason that the “\Yord of Christ dwells with us richly.” Augsburg Seminary has in every way tried to be true to its original aim to be a Lutheran divinity school that shall be able to meet the requirements made of pastors in free congregations in a free country. Through rebuffs and ridicule. through sunshine and success, the set pur- pose has never been lost sight of, and indeed God has abundantly blessed the work. Show less
