The Students’ Society and the Boarding Club are among the oldest. Literary, debating, oratorical, and athletic societies, as Well as musical organizations, library so- cieties, and other associations, have all had their share in shaping the development of the school, and in increas- ing its usefulness. The Students’ Missionary Society, organized in 1885, deserves special mention, as it has done much to foster the missionary spirit among Nor- wegian Lutherans in America. 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 grad- uates of the school. It also seeks to create a greater interest in the work and aims of their 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 1920 is 431. 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 as Baccalaurei Art-ium. The total number of College graduates up to and including 1920 is 273, more than 54% of whom have subsequently taken up the study of Theology. Among the other graduates from the College are teachers, physicians, lawyers, and men in other callings of importance and trust. 1 M‘W‘W' can". Show less

The President of the Seminary at the beginning of each year appoints a Student Council, whose duty it is to try all cases of dishonesty committed in examinations or tests. This Council reports all con- victions to the President of the Seminary. Said Council consists of five members, one from the Theological Sem- inary, two from the College, and two from the Academy. Every student shall, upon registering, sign a state- ment giving his word of honor that he will not use, give, or receive aid during examinations or tests, and that he will report all such irregularities as come under his notice to the Student Council. The name of the one reporting and theproceedings of the investigation conducted by the Student Council shall be kept secret. Students are promoted on the basis of credits and not on the basis of classes. Thesis Candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts shall present a final thesis, in English or in Norse. The sub- ject must be approved by the respective instructors and shall be selected before the end of January. The thesis is due at the end of the second quarter. Class Standing In determining the standing of a student in any sub- ject, the average monthly standing shall be combined with the results of the final examination in the ratio of two to one. The alphabetical scale is used in reporting the final standing: each letter constitutes a grade and has the fol- lowing significance: Show less
