Show more36 AUGSBURG SEMINARY respecting international law, and internationalism in general. Even law students usually get but a smattering of the subject, perhaps not even that. Judges are expected to be familiar with the subject only if in the higher court: their calling demands it. As a rule the theme is too remote from the interest of law students and lawyers to appeal to them. The minds of other students and profes- sional men are mostly a blank on the subject. There are exceptions; but generally our institutions of learning do not even excite an interest in internationalism. This gives to the few professors and specialists almost a monopoly of the whole field. Hence the most selfish state policy finds enthusiastic support at the ballot-box, on the platform, in the pulpit, in the press, and in political life, while the plea for international justice, to do unto others as we would be done by, strikes deaf ears.” Two times a week.

Show more22 AUGSBURG SEIINABY Testament writings. It is the intimate connection be- tween Christ and his Church, a connection spoken of by' Our Savior himself as like unto that of the Good Shep- herd and his flock and of the true vine and its branches Christ has not only done certain things for us, he has, so to speak, opened his own heart to us, so that we may get a glimpse of the depth of His love. And in so doing he has revealed the Father also. It is of the. greatest importance to realize this living connection between Our Savior and his Church, this communion, which makes the Church the body of Christ, a holy temple built of living stones, himself being the chief cornerstone. It is the realization of this connection which forms the necessary basis for the Christian faith in eternal salvation and the “restoration of all things.” It therefore naturally leads up to and culminates in the study of “the last things.” As the best material for this part of the study of the New Testament we consider the Gospel according to St. John. Church History. The first course consists of the study of the Aposto- lic Age and the history of the early church to the Middle Ages. In the second course the history of the church dur- ing the Middle Ages is studied. The third course offers the study of the history of the church after the Reformation. History of the American Church. The course gives attention to the characteristic growth of the church on American soil, particularly the Lutheran branch. History of Dogma.

This may be defined as a description of the earth from a com- mercial point of view—a study of the localization of industries or the geographic division of labor. This includes a general survey of the world, pointing out how commerce depends on physical conditions and natural resources, how it is influenced by climate and topography, by social and financial conditions, by transportation and manufacturing facilities, etc. The commercial products are described, their source pointed out, and their manufacture explained. Finally the different parts of the earth are grouped into natural provinces and studied in detail with reference to their products and trade rela- tions. Statistical tables and charts are given for each country to show its principal industries, exports and imports, and comparative trade with other countries. Textbook: Dryer’s High School Geography.

Hence, while there must be intense study of the text and much practice in the art of presenting truth, the essential homiletic preparation consists in ridding minds of worldly notions as to preach- ing and self-confidence in order that Word and Spirit may have full sway. Further the course consists in the study of the pericopes; analytical reading of representa— tive sermons; written outlines of sermons and religious addresses, and weekly sermons in class. 2. C atechetics. Catechetics as a branch of Practical Theology attempts to teach the proper methods of instructing the young in the church, especially in the Christian religion. It looks upon the educational work entrusted to every congrega- tion as fundamentally necessary and requiring careful training of teachers and patient and systematic execution. A good pastor should not only himself be able “to feed the lambs” but should also know how to teach others the same art. The course involves, first a survey of the history of Christian education; secondly, a description of the theories and methods of such education as they prevail in the church today; thirdly, the practical applica- tion of principles and methods to our educational need, so that the material of instruction may be suited as much as possible to the growing heart and mind of the child. This again involves a knowledge of the systematic use of the Bible for instruction as well as of the other books used in catechetical instruction. 3. Church Polity.

Here as in the theological department of the school progress was guided not so much by traditional systems of education as by those immediate demands of the ideals and ends for which the Seminary was founded and the special line of work it was called to perform. As a result the institution now has an academy of four years, offering the equivalents of a first class high school, a college course of four years, leading to the bachelor’s degree, and a theological seminary, designed to train candidates for the Christian ministry. Since the founding of the school forty-seven years ago, 247 have graduated from the college department, and 393 from the theological department. A large majority of the graduates are engaged in religious work in the Luth- eran churches in America or in foreign mission fields. Aim anh Biariplim. The aim of the founders of Augsburg Seminary was the education of young men for the Christian ministry. Specifically they had in view a ministry equipped and fitted for service in American Lutheran free churches and unbiased by the educational theories and church ideals of the state church. While the curriculum has been broadened and perfected in the course of time, it has been done along the lines of the foundation principles, and there has been no disposition to waver from the original aim of the institution. The three departments of the Seminary are, accord- ingly, one in purpose and not distinct schools. Yet, hundreds of young men have attended Augsburg and Show less

Students may be granted special examination on applying to the President and paying a fee of one dollar.

Examinations in the Theological department are held the last ten days of May. They consist of written work in the five following subjects: Old Testament, New Testament, Dogmatics, Church History, and Prac- tical Theology. The oral examinations follow and are conducted by a committee composed of the Theological faculty and two members selected by the faculty. 6. Honor System. The honor system in examina- tions and tests is followed. The President of the school at the beginning of each year appoints 3 students’ council, whose duty it is to try all cases of dishonesty committed in examinations or tests. This council is to report all convictions to the president of the school. Said council is to consist of five members: one from the theological Show less
