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.

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.

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. The college was established when it became evident that in order to get students who were adequately prepared for theological Show less
