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 de' finite 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 de' 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 offered 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 pro, duct of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. W"? H ER COLLEGE LIBRARY Show less

Through all, the priv mary aim sought is the welfare of the individual student. Employment Service A large number of college students find it necessary to secure part'time employment while carrying on their studies. The Augs' burg Employment Service was organized some years ago to help meet this need, and has been successful in placing hundreds of men and women students in part'time positions. Many Minne' apolis institutions and firms have gladly cooperated in this enter' prise. The types of work secured are of many kinds, including restaurant work, house positions, sales work, clerical work, switch» board operating, janitor service, and so on. As far as possible student assistance is utilized for the various types of service needed on the campus. For these positions, up, perrclass students who have maintained a good scholastic average are given preference. Application for partitime employment is made upon a regular form which may be secured from the Regis' trar's Office. Loan Funds To assist students in meeting their financial problems in emer’ gencies several revolving funds have been established through which shorttterm loans, at a reasonable interest rate, may be ar' ranged. The Augsburg College Women‘s Club Loan Fund extends as' sistance especially to members of the Senior class. The John and Anna Iorgine Gregory Theological Student Loan Fund is available to students who are preparing for the ministry. The Student Aid Fund of the Zion Lutheran Hour, established under the auspices of Zion Lutheran Church of Minot. North Dakota, likewise extends loans to students preparing for the minisr try.
