Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION History and Aims FUNDAMENTAL AIMS Augsburg Seminary is the training school for pastors and missionaries of the Lutheran Free Church. Augsburg College aims to give a four-year college course as the foundation for the theological study. Augsburg College also ofiers training to young people who wish to prepare themselves for graduate work in certain specific fields or for high school teaching. The College further provides a general cultural education for such as do not wish to pursue any of the above—mentioned lines of study. This work is all done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with this distinct understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things. They are asked to cooperate will- ingly in the program of the school towards this end. The entire program of the school, curricular and extracurricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim to see all things “through the eyes of Christ." Upon this understanding the student is invited to come, and enrolment in Augsburg College and Seminary presup- poses on his part full cooperation in the ways prescribed for the attainment of these goals. HISTORY Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869, at Marshall, Wis- consin. It was the first theological seminary started by Nor- wegian 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 preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out harmoniously, so the theological group moved to a pri- vate dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to Minne- apolis, Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the inn '0! Minnesota. A - ‘ Show less
