Show more30 Student Community Life CHRISTIAN ENVIRONNLENT The influences which mould life and character on a college cam- pus 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 em— phasis 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 development 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 each life. All students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses offered in Religion. There are numerous vol— untary religious activities in which students are encouraged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Mnneapolis and attend its services regularly. It is expected of each student that his life, conduct, and influ- ence, 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 must be the product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. THE CHAPEL SERVICE The heart of Augsburg’s program of Christian education is the daily Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gather for united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular attendance is expected of all students. Show less
