Literary, de- bating, oratorical, educational, and athletic societies, as well as musical organizations, and literary so- cieties have all had their share in shaping the de- velopment of the school, and increasing its useful- ness. The Students’ Missionary Society, organized in 1885, deserves special mention, as it has done much to foster the missionary spirit among Nor- wegian Lutherans in America. The Augsburg Alumni Association was organized in 1891. It meets, generally, the day after the Col- lege Commencement. Its function is mainly of a social character; it endeavors to further good-fel- lowship among the graduates of the school. It also seeks to create a greater interest in the work and aims of its Alma Mater. In 1870 two young men were graduated from the Theological Seminary. The total number of gradu- ates up to and including 1927 is 466. Almost all of these have become pastors, teachers, or missionaries, and a great majority of them are serving the Church at the present time either at home or in foreign lands. The College curriculum had a steady develop- ment during the first years of its existence, class after class being added, until in the year 1879 five young men were graduated with Bachelor of Arts degrees. The total number of College graduates up to and including 1927 is 360, more than 50% of whom have subsequently taken up the study of Theo- logy. Among the other graduates from the College are teachers, physicians, engineers, lawyers, and men in other callings of importance and trust. Show less
