This organization directs the activities of special interest to the women students, all of whom are members. RELIGIOUS ORGANIZATIONS In order to aid one another “to see all things through the eyes of Christ” and to work together for the realization of the spiritual purposes inherent in the Christian faith, the students of the College and Seminary have formed a number of organizations. The Concordia Society is an organization for all the students in the Theological Seminary. To those interested in missions the Mission Society is a rallying point. There is also during the school year much opportunity for bringing the Christian message to Gos- pel missions, churches, and other organizations. The Luther League affords the student an opportunity to share in local and general Luther League work. The Student Society is affiliated with the Lutheran Student Association of America, and Augsburg students participate in the various regional and national activities of this larger fellowship. All students may find inspiration in the Midweek Meeting, Bible Study, and other regular meetings for prayer and fellowship. The Religious Emphasis Weeks and the Annual Mission Festival are outstanding religious events of each school year. A Men’s Gospel Quartet represents the school in many places, especially during the summer. Other musical groups having a re- ligious purpose are developed each year. Also during the summer, a number of students do parochial school teaching, carry on home mission work, travel in Gospel duos, or engage in similar types of Christian service. Show less

In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which has materially increased with the growth and development of the College, the chief financial support of the institution comes from the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church, both alumni and others, have contributed financially to the sup- port of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian edu- cation.
