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

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.

These positions are re’ served for upperrclass students who have maintained a good scholastic average.

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.

To learn to en- Joy the right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. At Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards the use of leisure-time in general. Wholesome social activities of many kinds are fos- tered and encouraged. A definite attempt is made to achieve a true integration of the spiritual with the purely recrea- tional. Also in this area the goal is to "see all things through the eyes of Christ." CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique opportunities to make use of some of the finest educa- tional and cultural advantages which the Northwest has to offer. Excellent art collections are to be found in The Min- neapolis Art Institute and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large collec- tions of historical material. There are several colleges in the Twin Cities and also the State University, aflording con. tacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stim- ulus and development. CONVOCATION During the school year 1939-40 a series of Convocation programs was inaugurated at Augsburg. These will be con- tinued during the coming year, aiming to acquaint the campus community With outstanding personalities in vari- ous fields.
