Show more10 AUGSBURG COLLEGE AND SEMINARY bers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest. It soon became evident: that in order to get stu' dents 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 professions. The latter course, however, had to be dis' continued, 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 estab’ lished which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four year course. This was discontinued in 1933. In the years 191611919 the college course was thoroughly revised in conformity with modern develop! ments. The student body was growing and the faculty was en' larged. Up to 1921 only men were admitted, but in that year coeducation was introduced. In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been introduc’ tion 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 preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, yet the Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved such an arrangement mutually wholesome and stimulat' mg. Four Presidents served Augsburg throughout the main portion of its history of seventy'one years. The terms of office 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 followed by George Sverdrup, whose term extended from 1911 to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937 until the election of Bernhard Chrisr tensen in 1938. Support and Control From 1870 to 1890 Augsburg was supported by the Norwegian' Danish Lutheran Conference. From 1890 to 1893 it was supported by the United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due to differences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose, the minority faction continuing to support the school. In 1897 these congrer gations organized the Lutheran Free Church, which since that time has supported Augsburg. The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. Show less

Membership in the choir is based upon successful tryouts, mur sical aptitude, academic standing, and rating as a regular college student. Choral Club. The Augsburg Choral Club is a distinct organiza' tion, functioning as a concert group. Each year it is heard in a number of Twin City performances in addition to its short concert tours into other parts of Minnesota and neighboring states. Band. Students interested are given opportunity for active par ticipation in the band with its concert performances and playing at various functions. Miscellaneous Groups. In addition to the Choir, Choral Club, and Band, there are at Augsburg many smaller musical groups, both vocal and instrumental, ranging from men‘s and ladies‘ tries and quartets to organizations of greater membership. For many years Augsburg has sent out among the churches duos, trios, quart tets, and similar groups. These organizations are usually formed and directed by the students themselves. Journalism For those with interests in Journalism several avenues are open for securing practical experience in Campus publications. The Augsburg Echo, the College paper, is best adapted for this purpose. Besides serving the need of such a publication at the school, it is given considerable circulation among high schools in the Northwest. The Augsburgian is published as a biennial, giving a story of Augsburg life in word and picture. The Dial is a literary magazine published regularly by the Writers' Club. The Press Club functions as a news circulating agency. Items of information concerning students are relayed to their home comr munities. Show less

Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION 1 5 CAMPUS COMMUNITY LIFE Christian Environment The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of class room, 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 Augsr burg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerv 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 ofered in Christianity. There are numerous voluntary religious activities, too, in which students are urged to participate. Special Religious Emphasis Weeks are held twice each year. It is as sumed 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 eifort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. Show less

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT Location Augsburg College and Seminary is located on Eighth Street and Twentyrfirst Avenue South, in Minneapolis, within walking dis— tance of the business section of the city. Students have the ad' vantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections. They may hear the best music and lectures. They may contact modern life at one of its focal points. Building' s The main building, erected in 1900, contains the offices of the administration, the chapel, the library, class rooms, chemistry and physics laboratories, and a gymnasium. The Old Main, erected in 1872175, is the oldest of the dormitories. It also houses the music department, the biology laboratory, and certain offices. West Hall, erected in 1874, and Morton Hall, erected in 1888, are used as dormitories for women. The Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a thoroughly modern, fireproof dormi' tory affording living quarters for over a hundred men. In the basement of this building is a modern cafeteria and a large dining hall. In 1939 the school acquired the Sivertsen Hall, a dormiv tory for women.
