AUGSBURG SEMINARY was organized 1869 at Marshall, Wis., and moved to Minneapolis, Minn, 1872. It is the first Norwegian divinity school in America. The seminary nas three departments giving a complete course of nine years: A Preparatory Department comes first, into which as a rule only such are admitted as have some thought of entering the Church. Here the religious training —— the first year in Norwegian, the second in English — tends to awaken spiritual life as much as to impart mere religious information. The ordinary practical studies are pursued and after two years the student is expected to obtain a second grade teachers certificate and work as a teacher in the congregations during the vacation. The College Department, a four years’ classical course, continues the work of the Preparatory Department. The work is specially designed for those who have the ministry in view. Greek therefore, the language of the New Test- ament and the early Church, occupies a leading place in the study of languages. Latin and German rank next. Norwegian and English receive special attention. The History of the Church and the New Testament in the orig- inal form the basis for the instruction in religion. General History, Norwegian and English Literature are carefully studied. The graduates from this course receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The Theological Department.

The ex- aminations proper consist of written work in the following four branches: Old Testament, New Testament, Dogmatics and Church History. Next follows the oral work before a committee composed of the Faculty and two members, appointed by the Faculty. The degree of Candidatus Theologic’e is conferred upon the successful candidates. SOCIETIES. THE students naturally turn to societies for recreation and improvement, and several societies aside from those for debating, which form a part of the prescribed work in every class, have been organized. Among these is an association, brought into existence in 1876, to care for the sick. Every student is eligible to membership and by paying“ a monthly due of twenty cents becomes entitled to free medical care during sickness. A total abstinence society has also existed for many years and has done much to foster the Christian temper. ance work that is carried on so actively and successfully throughout the Northwest. A missionary society was organized in 1885. It has awakened among the students a remarkable interest in both home and foreign missions, and it has sent within a. few years four missionaries to Madagascar and one to China. Several are now preparing to enter the mission field. The work at home has not been neglected, however, but Sunday-schools have been organized and are now conducted by it and prayer meetings are held regularly in places where the needs are urgent. RELIGIOUS EXERCISES are essential to the spiritual welfare ofaschool. And Augsburg Seminary has provided for these. Morning prayers are held in the Seminary Chapel every week day, led by one of the professors. On Saturday the services include a sermon. Numerous prayer meetings are ar- ranged by the students. The day’s work closes with de- votional exercises in the students7 room. It can be said with reason that the “\Vord of Christ dwells with us richly”. Show less

Its aim is to educate earnest and consecrated ministers of the gospel, who shall go out and build up a living Church. The school has had much to overcome. But God has blessed its work. A host of Christian men and women have come to its support, because they be- lieve in the principles which the institution represents. Especially has the school year of 1895 96 been re- markable. There is a powerful awakening of spiritual life in the Lutheran Churches of the Northwest, and as Augsburg Seminary possesses the confidence of the young men, who led by religious motives want to prepare them- selves for the ministry of the gospel, this ever widening religious movement has brought to the school a great num- ber of young Christians; giving to the institution a new impetus of the highest character, making it more than ever a centre of religious life and activity. GENERAL INFORMATION. COURSES OF STUDY. THE SEMINARY has three departments: A Preparatory Department comes first, into which as a rule only such are admitted as have some thought of entering the services of the Church. The religious training —— the first year in Norwegian, the second in English —— tends to awaken spiritual life as well as impart mere religious information. Show less

The ordinary practical studies are pursued and in two years the student is expected to obtain a second grade teachers certificate and work as a teacher in the congregations during the vacation. The College Department, a classical course of four years, continues the work of the Preparatory Department. The work is specially designed for those who have the ministry in view. Greek, therefore, the language of the New Testament and the early Church, occupies the leading place in the study of languages. Latin and German rank next. Norwegian and English receive special attention. The History of the Church and the New Testament in the original, form the basis for the instruction in religion. General History, Norwegian and English Literature are carefully studied. The graduates from this course receive the degree of Bachelor of Arts. The Theological Department gives a thorough and scientific course of three years in Theology. And the end constantly kept in mind is to develop the spiritual side of the student and make him an earnest and consecrated as well as trained worker in the vineyard of our Lord. TERMS OF ADMISSION.

As all purchases are made at wholesale prices and as the most rigid economy is practised, the result is, that good, substantial board is obtained at a very low figure. LIBRARIES. The Seminary library was begun in 1869 with the modest sum of $217.00. It also received a number of Swedish and Danish books from the Augustana Seminary at Paxton, Ill. Important works have been added from time to time partly by purchase, partly by gifts until the library now owns over 2000 volumes. “IDUN”, a library begun in 1876 by the students, is maintained by them and every year it receives a respectable number of good books. It contains over 1200 volumes of the choicest literature in the Norwegian and English languages. Two reading rooms, one for magazines, the other for daily and weekly papers, are also maintained. The best of its kind in the two languages is on file and the students have free access to them at all times. DAILY ROUTINE. The school is in session from 8 :00 a. in. to 1:00 p. m. five days in the week. Morning prayers, led by one of the professors, are held in the chapel at 7:45 a. m., Saturdays 8:00 a. m.
