Show more4 AUGSBURG SEMINARY cordance with the highest interests of a free people and its institutions. It is necessary always to retain the Christian conception of true greatness: “Whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant,” and not use higher education as a means of introducing any caste—division among the people and especially of caus- ing any estrangement between ministers and the believers in the church. Augsburg Seminary subordinates all its work, its whole curriculum, its management and its discipline, to these principles. They are underlying and determining every detail of the work of the school. No branch of study is taken up, and no arrangement of time or work is made without this purpose. Thus it is attempted to educate ministers, who combine thorough knowledge of the divine word with Christian character, and who know 110W to work in the spirit of brotherly love and sympathy with the people in the churches. HISTORICAL. Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869 at Mar- shall, Wis. Prof. A. Wenaas was placed in charge. The aim was to educate ministers for free Lutheran Churches. The idea was new to the Norwegians, and the school could not be modeled after the institutions of the estab— lished church of Norway. The school has, therefore, had more difficulties to contend with than the Seminaries established later. The supporters of Augsburg Seminary were at first connected with the Swedish Augustana Synod. When in 1870 they parted from the Swedes and organized the Conference, the school was left without buildings, and Show less

The aim of Augsburg Seminary is the education of ministers, qualified for work in a free Lutheran Church. As soon as a young man enters Augsburg Seminary, he at once finds himself surrounded by religious influences, tending to lead him and guide him in his intellectual de- velopment and his spiritual growth, so that during those precious years of youthful enthusiasm he may by earnest study and religious consecration become fitted and strengthened for the hard work and self—sacrificing life of a Christian minister. The example of the Master himself and his first devoted followers is daily set before the students in order that they may become imbued with the Truth and its saving power, and be filled with the- desire to declare it before all men in order to satisfy the greatest wants of the human soul. Spiritual life and Christian character are considered. of infinitely higher importance than mere knowledge. No amount of reading, no memorizing of facts, no men- tal or intellectual ability are of any real value to the Christian minister without personal experience of sav— ing grace and firm and manly conviction of the truth as it is in Jesus. At the same time there is needed the most thorough study of the Word of God, and no branch of human knowledge, which may prepare the student for this special work, or be helpful to him in it, can be considered indifferent. It is also an essential principle of Augsburg Sem— inary, that no so—called higher education, which tends to develop aristocratical or hierarchical tendencies among the students, is Christian in character or in ac— __ @J Show less
