HISTORICAL SKETCH Augsburg was begun as a seminary in I 869, at Marshall, Wiscon— sin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed in the academy building. Students who needed further prepara- tion in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out satisfactorily; so the theological group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. The aim of the institution was to train ministers for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest.

RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS In order to aid one another "to see all things through the eyes of Christ” and to work together for the realization of the spiritual purposes inherent in the Christian faith, the students of the College and Seminary have formed a number of organizations. The Concordia Society is an organization for all the students in the Thological Seminary. To those interested in missions the Mission Society is a rallying point. There is also during the school year much opportunity for bringing the Christian message to Gospel missions, churches, and other organizations. The Luther League afiords the student an opportunity to share in local and general Luther League work. The Student Society is affiliated with the Lutheran Student Association of America, and Augsburg students participate in the various regional and national activities of this larger fellowship. All students may find inspiration in the Midweek Meeting, Bible Study, and other regular meetings for prayer and fellowship. The Religious Emphasis Wee/as and the Annual Mission Festival are outstanding religious events of each school year. A Men’s Gospel Quartet represents the school in many places, especially during the summer. Other musical groups having a re— ligious purpose are deveIOped each year. Also during the summer, a number of students do parochial school teaching, carry on home mission work, travel in Gospel duos, or engage in similar types of Christian service. Show less
