Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION 1 7 FUNDAMENTAL AIMS The educational purposes of Augsburg College and Theological Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is the fun- damental force for good in human life. All the aims of the College, as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this prin- ciple. To express more distinctly the meaning of this, the follow- ing statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty: To lead the student to a deeper understanding and personal realization of the truth and power of the Christian Gospel, to the end that he may become an effective participant in the evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and for society. To familiarize the student with the culture of our own and other civilizations, not only for the enjoyment this knowledge affords but also for the development of a more sympathetic understanding of our fellow men throughout the world. To develop the student’s interest in the attainment of the common purposes of our country, so that he may work for the welfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our liberties in community and nation, and also develop an en- lightened interest and participation in human affairs through- out the rest of the world. To cultivate in the student a Christian social spirit, in order that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men. To teach the student to discipline his own urges, interests, ambitions, and demands in a way that will effectively con- tribute toward the development of good character. To train the student in scientific methods of study and also develop his understanding of the relations of science to the welfare of humanity. To stimulate intellectual interest and develop scholarly in~ sight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy and comprehension at the same time as he experiences an un- derstanding of truth which will help him to integrate the find- ings of science with the deepest spiritual reality.

During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on 23rd Avenue across the Square from the older part of the Campus. The Gymnasium, a well-built and well-equipped temporary struc- ture, was erected for the College by the Federal Works Agency as a part of a program providing educational facilities for veterans. The Music Hall was acquired by purchase and remodeled to serve the needs of the Music Department. Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and student housing until this need can be met through more per- manent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground. The President’s Home, a residence of modern architectural design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in I 949. THE MUSEUM Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented many valuable gifts. There are several collections: a Madagascar Col- lection, a Santa] Collection, and a considerable collection of rare minerals, curios, etc. Contributions should be sent to Dr. B. J. Kleven, Curator.

STENSVMG, Chairman Through the study of religion and philosophy, the individual is apprised of the central realities of life and encouraged to build on the certainties of the Christian faith. The work proceeds on the assumption that Christianity alone can furnish a unifying principle which gives meaning to human existence. The student is challenged to accept this point of view—to relate himself to Christ as the center, to evaluate all his studies and experiences in the light of revealed truth, and to make a consistent use of all his talents and training. The goal to be desired is the development of an informed and integrated Christian person- ality dedicated to the realization of God's kingdom on earth. Department of Christianity Mn. STENSVAAG, Mn. HELLAND, MR. OLSON, MR. SONNACK, MR.

All full time students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses offered in religion during each semester of their studies.
