Show more59 AUGSBURG ,THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY PRINCIPLES AND ORGANIZATION General Augsburg Theological Seminary, the training school for the pastors and missionaries of the Lutheran Free Church, offers a regular three'year course of preparation for the Christian ministry. In harmony with the Principles of the Lutheran Free Church it aims to stress particularly the training of spiritual leaders and pastors dedicated to the ideal of building Lutheran congregations where the spiritual Gifts of Grace are freely cultivated and nur' tured under the authority of the Word and the guidance of the Spirit. Admission The normal prerequisite for admission to the Seminary is the Bachelor‘s degree from a liberal arts college.1 By special arrange' ment, however, it is possible for a student to complete both the Arts course and the Seminary course at Augsburg in six years. According to this plan, the three years of college work must in, clude a minor. The major is granted in the field of Christianity. All candidates for admission to the Seminary must have achieved a good academic record in their preparatory studies in college. Applications for admission to the Seminary should be addressed to the Secretary of the Theological Faculty and should include the following documents: 1. A transcript of their academic record in college. 2. Two letters of recommendation from pastors. One of these should be from the pastor of the candidate's local church. 3. A personal statement by the candidate concerning his back, ground, spiritual experience, and doctrinal convictions. The Committee on Admissions consists of the Faculty and the Board of Directors elected by the Annual Conference of the Lu- theran Free Church. 1 During the war period, this is modified to three academic years of college work.

Under the direction iof the Department of Physical Education a Wide range of activities of a recreational nature is arranged for general student participation.

Co'recreational activities such as skating parties, winter sports days, skip day, informal hiking, and community singing are part of the program.

Augsburg is a member of the :Mim nesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The college is rep’ resented annually by teams in football, basketball, baseball, track, tennis, and golf. The “A” Club. Membership in the " “ Club is limited to all men who have won a major A at Augsburg. The aim of this organization is "to bind the ‘A’ men of the past, present, and future into a more intimate bond of fellowship, and to keep the athletics of Augsburg on the highest possible plane."

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 der 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 the Word of God and the deepest needs of the human soul. Reg' ular attendance is expected of all students. All students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses ofiered 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 eliort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. Show less
