Secondly, the course involves a systematic study of the essentials of preaching as testifying of Christ, properly designated as Homilet— ics. It is constantly borne in mind that the power of preaching does not lie in human art but in the divine authority of the Word and the Spirit of God. Hence, while there must be intense study of the text and much practice in the art of presenting truth, the essential homiletic preparation consists in ridding minds of worldly notions as to preaching and self-confidence in order that Word and Spirit may have full sway. Further the course consists in the study of the pericopes; analyti- cal reading of representative sermons; written outlines of sermons and religious addresses, and weekly sermons in class. 2. CATECHETICS Catechetics as a branch of Practical Theology at- tempts to teach the proper methods of instructing the young in the Church, especially in the Christian religion. It looks upon the educational work intrusted to every congregation as fundamentally necessary and requiring careful training of teachers and patient and systematic execution. A good pastor should not only himself be able “to feed the lambs” but should also know how to teach others the same art. The course involves, first, a survey of the history of Christian education; secondly, a description of the theories and methods of such educa- tion as they prevail in the Church to—day; thirdly, the practical application of principles and methods to our educational need, so that the material of instruction may i l Show less

The President of the Seminary at the beginning of each year appoints a Student Council, whose duty it is to try all cases of dishonesty committed in examinations or tests. This Council reports all con- victions to the President of the Seminary. Said Council consists of five members, one from the Theological Sem- inary, two from the College, and two from the Academy. Every student shall, upon registering, sign a state- ment giving his word of honor that he will not use, give, or receive aid during examinations or tests, and that he will report all such irregularities as come under his notice to the Student Council. The name of the one reporting and the proceedings of the investigation conducted by the Student Council shall be kept secret. Students are promoted on the basis of credits and not on the basis of classes. Grades The alphabetical scale is used in reporting the final grades; each letter constitutes a grade and has the fol- lowing significance: Excellent Good Fair Passable Conditioned Failure Incomplete All conditions must be removed within the next quarter. No student shall be allowed to continue his work as a regular student if he is conditioned in more than two fifths of his work. HWMUOUJ> ms:- Show less

Show more14 AUGSBURG SEMINARY tion of the Norwegian Danish Conference in 1870 made the existence of the new school very precarious and its work ditficult. Hence, “when Professor Weenaas, who was the President, could, in 1872, move his school of nineteen students into a new and commodious building in Minneapolis, the rejoicing was general." The removal to Minneapolis marks a turning-point in the history of Augsburg Seminary. It was thru the efforts of Rev. Ole Paulson, at that time pastor of Trinity congregation in Minneapolis, that the Seminary secured its new home, and he is therefore rightly regarded as one of the greatest benefactors of the school. The subsequent years have not only been full of struggles, but have also been full of blessings. Often attacked by enemies, and not always as unitedly and strongly supported by its friends as might have been desired, the school has not always had a calm course. Nevertheless it has tried to serve the Kingdom of God and to fulfil the mission of its calling. Professor August Weenaas, the founder and the first President of Augsburg Seminary, will always deserve to be remembered as a man who faithfully and with great courage laid the foundation of the oldest divinity school among Norwegian immigrants in America and carried the school thru the difficulties of the early years of its existence. But the men who were the greatest factors in the development of Augsburg Seminary, and to whom the school owes the most, are the late Profes— sors Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal. They were instruments in the hand of God to carry the school thru innumerable trials and difficulties for over thirty years. During the fifty-four years of its existence Augsburg Seminary has had a number of professors and instruc- tors, many of whom have, however, served for a short time only, or as substitutes during vacancies.
