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
