Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION 15 CAMPUS COMMUNITY LIFE Christian Environment The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, laboratory, and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but very real supplementary influences have much to do with creating the spirit of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious attention to this personal and spiritual side of their de' velopment and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus. It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augs' burg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at! mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayer— fully fostered in the life of each student. In order to help toward attaining these goals the faculty and students gather in chapel every day for a brief meditation upon God‘s Word and the deepest needs of the human soul. Regular attendance is expected of all students. All students are required also to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses offered in Christianity. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are urged to participate. Religious Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly. Discipline The disciplinary problems of the college are dealt with in the light of the spiritual purposes and ideals stated above. It is ex pected of each student that his life, conduct, and influence. both on. and off campus. shall be worthy of a member of a Christian College. Those who do not feel drawn to this quality of life and to the fellowship in which it is nourished should not seek to be enrolled at Augsburg. A truly Christian spirit and environment cannot. of course, be created or maintained by legalistic regulation. It must be the product of the united eEort and prayer of faculty. students, and administration. Show less

An eEort is made to coordinate and correlate contributions to this service on the part of all members of the teaching and administrative staff of the school, each one in his special field. Through all, the primary aim sought is the welfare of the individual student. Employment Service Especially during later years a large number of college students have found it necessary to secure part'time employment while car- rying on their studies. The Augsburg Employment Service was organized to help meet this need, and has been successful in plac- ing hundreds of men and women students in part'time positions. Many Minneapolis institutions and firms have gladly cooperated in this enterprise. The types of work secured are of many kinds, including restaurant work, house positions, sales Work, clerical work, switchboard operating, janitor service, and so on. N Y A and Campus Employment As far as possible student assistance is utilized for the various types of service needed on the campus. These positions are re’ served for upperrclass students who have maintained a good scholastic average. For the past few years grants from the National Youth Ad! ministration, given to worthy students in return for service rent dered in selected fields, have enabled a large number of young people to go to college who otherwise could not have continued their education. These assignments, open to all students, are also conditioned upon the maintenance of a good scholastic standing. Application is made upon a regular form which may be secured from the Registrar’s Office. Student Aid Funds A limited amount of money is available in the Student Aid Fund for short/term loans to needy students. The Augsburg Faculty Women's Club has recently established a Loan Fund, intended especially to assist members of the Senior Class. Show less

As a foundation for the theological study, Augsburg College offers a four'year pre'the' ological course. Augsburg College also offers preparation in certain specified fields for students who wish later to pursue graduate work or enter the profession of teaching. The work of the College further pro, vides a number of course’schedules which lay the basis for study in technical and professional lines. Integrated with these aims is the general purpose of developing qualities of character which will lead to effective service for the welfare of humanity. 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 willingly 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 presupposes on his part full cooperation in the ways prescribed for the attainment of these goals. History Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869, at Marshall, Wiscono 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 preparav tion in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out harmoniously, 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 Concordia Society is made up of the students in the Semi' nary. To those interested in missions the Mission Group with its Sunday morning meetings is a rallying point. A Men’s Gospel Quartette represents the school in many places, especially during the summer. Other musical groups having a religious purpose are also developed each year.
