Show more12 AUGSBURG SEMINARY Dissensions which arose in connection with the organiza— tion of the Norwegian Danish Conference in 1870 made the existence of the new school very precarious and its work difficult. 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-three 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.

The Augsburg Alumni Association was organized in 1891. It meets, generally, the day after the College Com- mencement. Its function is mainly of social character; it endeavors to further good-fellowship among the gradu- ates 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 graduates from this division up to and including 1921 is 438. Al- most all of these have become pastors, teachers, or mis- sionaries, 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 development 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 degree. The total num— ber of College graduates up to and including 1921 is 277, more than 54% of whom have subsequently taken up the study of Theology. Among the other graduates from the College are teachers, physicians, engineers, lawyers, and men in other callings of importance and trust. Show less

Among those who plan to become teachers it aims also to develop professional in- terests and to give knowledge of the principles and methods and of the best educational literature, preparing for practical school work.

Show more82 AUGSBURG SEMINARY SPECIAL COURSES BOOKKEEPING The object of the 20th Century Bookkeeping is to teach the student the fundamental principles of book keeping and accounting. To suit the conditions that exist in the schoolroom and to permit flexibility, the work is divided into four sets, each of which is separate and distinct. While it is necessary to complete the four sets in order that the student may have a thoro knowledge of the subject, yet he may discontinue at the end of any one set with his knowledge being complete as far as he has advanced. The first set teaches the student the fundamental principles of bookkeeping and accounting. The second set teaches the student the principles of partnership bookkeeping, the advantages of special rul— ing in the cash book, the carbon copy sales book, etc. The third set teaches the principles of corporation bookkeeping and the special accounts required in a cor- poration set of books. The fourth set teaches the principles of cost account- ing, as practically applied in modern business, a subject that has never before been presented to the student of bookkeeping and accounting. The transactions are so arranged that the student de— votes practically all his time to the cost feature, which enables him to obtain a thoro understanding of the prin- ciples in a reasonably short time. The student who has worked out these sets need not hesitate to accept a posi- tion in any office.
