Show morefiiatnriral fitmmmt AUGSBURG SEMINARY, the divinity school of the Lutheran Free Church, was founded in 1869. It is the oldest Norwegian Lutheran school of its kind in America. From its foundation until 1890 it was the Theological Seminary of the Norwegian-Danish Con— ference, and from 1890 until 1893 it served as the di- vinity school of the United Norwegian Lutheran Church of America. Since the latter date it has been connected with the Lutheran Free Church movement. For several years prior to 1869 the Scandinavian Augustana Synod had maintained a Theological Sem- inary at Paxton, Illinois. This institution served both the Swedish and the Norwegian churches of that Synod as a union seminary. The founding of Augsburg Sem— inary was the result of a mutual agreement to divide the Paxton school and to establish a separate institution to serve the Norwegian congregations. as it was quite evi— dent that the interests of the Norwegian branch of the Augustana Synod would in that way be served to greater advantage. Augsburg Seminary commenced its work in Septem- ber 1869 at Marshall, a small village in Dane County, \Visconsin. and was at first more or less loosely con— nected with “Marshall Academy”. In the fall of 1870 it was separated from that institution. and during the summer of 1872 it was moved to Minneapolis. A pre- paratory curriculum has been maintained from the be- ginning, consisting at first of a one-year course, but later on developed and enlarged into complete Academic and College Divisions. The beginning was quite insignificant; the congrega- Show less

Dissensions which arose in connection with the organization of the Norwegian Danish Conference in 1870 made the existence of the new school very pre- carious and its work difficult. Hence it was no wonder, that “when Professor Weenaas, who was then President, could, in 1872, move his school of nineteen students into a new and commodious building in Minneapolis, the re- joicing was general.” The removal to Minneapolis marks a tuming—point in the history of Augsburg Seminary. It was thru the efforts of Rev. Ole Paulson, at that time pastor of Trinity congregation in Minneapolis, that the Seminary secured its new home, and he is therefore rightly re- garded as one of the greatest benefactors of the school. The subsequent years have not only been full of struggles, but have also been full of blessings. Often at- tacked by enemies, and not always as unitedly and strongly supported by its friends as might have been desired, the school has not always had a calm course. Nevertheless it has tried to serve the Kingdom of God and to fulfil the mission of its calling. Professor August Weenaas, the founder and the first President of Augsburg Seminary, will always deserve to be remembered as a man who faithfully and with great courage laid the foundation of the oldest divinity school among Norwegian immigrants in America and carried the school thru the difficulties of the early years of its existence. But the men who were the greatest factors in the development of Augsburg Seminary, and to whom the school owes the most, are the late Profes- sors Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal. They were instruments in the hand of God to carry the school thru innumerable trials and difficulties for over thirty years. During the fifty-two years of its existence Augsburg Seminary has had a large number of professors and in- Show less
