It will be equipped to be ready for use by the fall of 1940. This beautiful modern building is located three short blocks from the main campus. It is plan- ned that this residence shall accommodate about forty up- per class students. The rooms will be furnished except for bedding and linens.

It soon became evident that in order to get students who were adequately prepared for theological study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college curriculum was planned which provided for one year of preparatory studies and four years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare students for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for the pro- fessions. The latter course, however, had to be discontinued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too few students selected the course. The first college students were en‘ rolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879. In 1900 a. high school course covering three years was established which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four year course. This was discontinued in 1933. In the years 1916-1919 the college course was thoroughly revised in con- formity with modern developments. The student body was growing and the faculty was enlarged. Up to 1921 only men were admitted, but in that year coeducation was introduced. From that time on the enrolment has steadily increased. In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been in- troduction of new courses and enlargement of the faculty. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor’s degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic prepara- tion. While the Theological Seminary has its own organiza- tion. yet the Seminary and the College function in close co- operation. Long experience has proved such an arrangement mutually wholesome and stimulating. Four Presidents have served Augsburg throughout the main portion of its history of seventyoue years. The terms of oflice of two of these cover a span of over half a. century. The first President was August Weenaas, who served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, 1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was fol- lowed by George Sverdrup, whose term extended from 1911 to 1937. After the death of President George Sverdrup in 1937, H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President until the election of Bernhard Christensen in 1938. SUPPORT AND CONTROL From 1870 to 1890 Augsburg was supported by the Nor- wegian-Danish Lutheran Conference. From 1890 to 1893 it was supported by the United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Show less

For the pur- pose ot proper classification all freshmen must take the entrance tests on the day designated in the Calendar. REGISTRATION GENERAL RULES Registration means that the student accepts all the rules and regulations established by the school. Students are required to complete their registration on the days designated in the Calendar for this purpose. Students who in either semester register later than a week after classes begin shall pay a late registration fee of $3.00. The normal minimum for which a student is required to register is 16 periods per week; the maximum, 17 periods. (See Curriculums.) All students register under the direction of the Registrar together with the Matriculation Committee. No credit will be given a student for any subject for which he has not registered. Students workng part-time are required to arrange the amount of their registration accordingly. AMOUNT OF CLASSWORK Special permission to register for less than the normal minimum or for more than the maximum may be granted a student upon the consent of the Matriculation Committee. The privilege of taking more hours than the maximum may be granted to students who have gained an average record of B, or two honor points per credit, in their previous col- lege studies. No student is permitted to carry work for more than 20 credits per semester. This includes taking complete courses outside of claSS. In order to obtain any credit for a complete course taken outside of class, the student must have the permission of both the instructor and the Registrar, so that he will be duly registered for the course and can do the work during a defi- nitely determined time. Although the course may not be on the schedule for a given semester, the student must register for it, or forfeit the credit he might have gained.

In certain cases, students who fail to attain the minimum scholastic requirements as to grades and honor points may be permitted to continue on probation with a limited pro- gram during the next semester. Students on probation are not allowed to take part in extra-curricular activities. CLASS ATTENDANCE ABSENCE AND TARDINESS Regular attendance in class is required. However. ab- sences for sufficient reasons will be excused. Such reasons are to be stated on the regular absence slips and presented to the instructor upon the student’s return to class. The instructor passes upon the validity of the excuse. He may require that the excuse be signed by a member of the ad- ministrative staff. No student is allowed to take any so-called “cuts” or to absent himself from class without handing in an excuse. Classwork lost on account of late registration or because of necessary absence must be made up. The work in each subject shall be assigned by the teacher of that subject, and no credit shall be given until such work has been completed. Whenever a student has been absent from class for a week (two weeks in a one~hour course) without the reason for such absence being known and approved by the instructor, the instructor should notify the Personnel Office so that a proper check-up may be made. Each unexcused absence reduces the grade, so that when a student has incurred four unexcused absences in a course, this is reported to the Registrar who will then drop the stu- dent from the course with a grade of F. Absences before and after vacations will be counted double. Three unexcused tardinesses equal one unexcused absence. Students who are tardy must report to the instructor at the end of the class period, or they may remain marked absent. ILLNESS Illness which necessitates absence from classes should be reported on the day of such illness. The women students report to the Dean of Women, and the men students to the Show less
