During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on 23rd Avenue across the Square from the older part of the Campus. The Gymnasium, a well-built and well-equipped temporary struc- ture, was erected for the College by the Federal Works Agency as a part of a program providing educational facilities for veterans. The Music Hall was acquired by purchase and remodeled to serve the needs of the Music Department. Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and student housing until this need can be met through more per- manent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground. The President’s Home, a residence of modern architectural design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in I 949. THE MUSEUM Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented many valuable gifts. There are several collections: a Madagascar Col- lection, a Santa] Collection, and a considerable collection of rare minerals, curios, etc. Contributions should be sent to Dr. B. J. Kleven, Curator. THE ARCHIVES In the spring of 1929 the Augsburg Archive Society was or- ganized. The purpose of this organization is to gather and preserve documents, books, and other articles of historical value. To house the Archives a fire-proof room which was provided in the Main has been replaced recently by a large room on the ground floor of Science Hall.

STENSVMG, Chairman Through the study of religion and philosophy, the individual is apprised of the central realities of life and encouraged to build on the certainties of the Christian faith. The work proceeds on the assumption that Christianity alone can furnish a unifying principle which gives meaning to human existence. The student is challenged to accept this point of view—to relate himself to Christ as the center, to evaluate all his studies and experiences in the light of revealed truth, and to make a consistent use of all his talents and training. The goal to be desired is the development of an informed and integrated Christian person- ality dedicated to the realization of God's kingdom on earth. Department of Christianity Mn. STENSVAAG, Mn. HELLAND, MR. OLSON, MR. SONNACK, MR. STROMMEN The courses in Christianity are designed to give the student a working knowl- edge of the Bible, to acquaint him with the history, doctrines, and ethics of the Church, and to prepare him for efiective service in the congregation. The fun- damental aim in instruction is to lead as many as possible to personal faith in Christ, and to nurture the Christian life. All full time students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses offered in religion during each semester of their studies. Registration in New Testament Greek satisfies this requirement. Major, 28 credits; Minor, 22 credits. Credits in New Testament Greek, ex- cept the first semester, Course I, may be applied toward a Christianity major or minor. 1, 2. BASIC BIBLE. Fr. 1, II. 4 Cr.

Students must meet certain requirements to qualify for loans or scholarships. The college gives assistance to students in securing work both on and off the campus. LOAN FUNDS Several loan funds have been established to assist students in working out their financial problems. Loans may be arranged at a reasonable rate of interest for various periods of time. The General Student Loan Fund, established through the gifts of many individual donors, is chiefly maintained by contribu- tions from the Augsburg College Women’s Club. It extends assist- ance to members of all classes. The Iohn and Anna [orgine Gregory Theological Student Loan Fund is available to students who are preparing for the ministry. The Student Aid Fund of the Zion Lutheran Hour, established under the auspices of Zion Lutheran Church of Minot, North Dakota, likewise extends loans to students preparing for the min- istry. Arrangements for the loans are made through a conference with the Dean of Students, chairman of the faculty committee on student loans. In addition to arranging loans, the committee counsels students on financial matters with the objective in mind of helping the student work out a satisfactory plan for his finances. SCHOLARSHIPS AND PRIZES Prize Scholarships, amounting to tuition for the second half of the Freshman year, are offered to the highest ranking boy and the highest ranking girl in each Minnesota high school graduating class. Outside of Minnesota a limited number of scholarships of this kind are awarded to students of superior ability. The George Sverdrup Graduate Fellowship was established by the Board of Trustees of Augsburg in 1947 to honor the memory of George Sverdrup, President of Augsburg from 1911 to 1937. Show less
