Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION HISTORY AND AIMS Fundamental Aims Augsburg Seminary is the training school for pastors and misr sionaries of the Lutheran Free Church. As a foundation for the theological study, Augsburg College offers a four'year pre'the' ological course. Augsburg College also offers preparation in certain specified fields for students who wish later to pursue graduate work or enter the profession of teaching. The work of the College further pro, vides a number of course’schedules which lay the basis for study in technical and professional lines. Integrated with these aims is the general purpose of developing qualities of character which will lead to effective service for the welfare of humanity. This work is all done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with this distinct understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things. They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school towards this end. The entire program of the school, curricular and extracurricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim to see all things "through the eyes of Christ." Upon this understanding the student is invited to come, and enrolment in Augsburg College and Seminary presupposes on his part full cooperation in the ways prescribed for the attainment of these goals. History Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869, at Marshall, Wiscono sin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed in the academy building. Students who needed further preparav tion in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out harmoniously, so the theological group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that year the Seminary was removed to Minneapolis. Minnesota, where a building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was incorporated under the laws of Minnesota.

It soon became evident that in order to get stuv 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 1916,1919 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 introducv 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'three 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 Chris- 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 Show less

In 1897 these congre' gations organized the Lutheran Free Church, which since that time has supported Augsburg. The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. It nominates members of the Augsburg Corporation and also the five persons who constitute the Board of Trustees. Permanent members of the Faculty are elected by the Annual Conference of the same church body. Direct control is exercised by the Corporation through the Board of Trustees, who control property, finance, and personnel. Acade' mic control is vested in the President together with the Faculty. Membership in Educational Associations Augsburg College is a member of the Association of American Colleges, the National Association of Church-Related Colleges, the National Lutheran Educational Conference, the Association of Min, nesota Colleges, and the State Council of Minnesota Colleges. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT Location Augsburg College and Seminary is located on Eighth Street and Twentyvfirst 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. Buildings The main building, erected in 1900, contains the offices of the administration, the chapel, the library, classrooms, chemistry and physics laboratories, and a gymnasium. The Old Main, erected in 1872'75, is the oldest of the dormitories. It also houses the music department, the biology laboratory, and certain oflices. 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 dormit 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 dorm: tory for women. Show less

Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION 15 CAMPUS COMMUNITY LIFE Christian Environment The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of classroom, 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 Augs' burg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at! mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayer— 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 offered in Christianity. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are urged to participate. Religious Emphasis Week is held twice each year. It is assumed 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 eEort and prayer of faculty. students, and administration. Show less
