Show moreHISTORICAL STATEMENT 17 student are expected to attend the services in the dif- ferent congregations of the Lutheran Free Church in Minneapolis. They are encouraged to take active part in Sunday school work, young people’s work, and church choirs. The Theological Division of Augsburg Seminary offers a three—year course of study. The aim is to give a thoro knowledge of the Bible, the history of the Chris— tian Church, and the teachings of the Lutheran Church. and also a practical training in dealing with the principal questions that arise in pastoral life and in the pastoral leadership of the congregation. As far as possible the Bible is studied in the original. It is clearly realized, however, that mere knowledge is not all that is necessary for the complete equipment of a worker in the vineyard of Our Lord. The all-important consideration is to awaken and foster in the student true loyalty to Christ and absolute obedience to the Holy Spirit; for without these qualities no man can become a “good and faithful servant" in the house of God. The majority of the Theological students of Augs- burg Seminary are naturally preparing themselves for service either in the home Church or in foreign mission fields. Many of the students in the College and Academy have the same calling in view- For this reason many of them are engaged in Church work during their vaca- tions. A number of student organizations have been formed, and several of them have attained a very respectable age. The Students’ Society and the Boarding Club are among the oldest. Literary, debating, oratorical, educational, and athletic societies. as well as musical organizations, and library societies have all had their share in shaping the development of the school, and increasing its usefulness. The Students' Missionary Society, organized in 1885. de- serves special mention, as it has done much to foster Show less

Show more14 AUGSBURG BEMINARY Dissensions which arose in connection with the organiza- tion of the Norwegian Danish Conference in 1870 made the existence of the new school very precarious and its work difficult. Hence, “when Professor Weenaas, who was the President, could, in 1872, move his school of nineteen students into a new and commodious building in Minneapolis, the rejoicing was general.” The removal to Minneapolis marks a turning-point in the history of Augsburg Seminary. It was thru the efforts of Rev. Ole Paulson, at that time pastor of Trinity congregation in Minneapolis, that the Seminary secured its new home, and he is therefore rightly regarded as one of the greatest benefactors of the school. The subsequent years have not only been full of struggles, but have also been full of blessings. Often attacked by enemies, and not always as unitedly 'and strongly supported by its friends as might have been desired, the school has not always had a calm course. Nevertheless it has tried to serve the Kingdom of God and to fulfil the mission of its calling. Professor August Weenaas, the founder and the first President of Augsburg Seminary, will always deserve to be remembered as a man who faithfully and with great courage laid the foundation of the oldest divinity school among Norwegian immigrants in America and carried the school thru the difficulties of the early years of its existence. But the men who were the greatest factors in the development of Augsburg Seminary, and to whom the school owes the most, are the late Profes- sors Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal. They were instruments in the hand of God to carry the school thru innumerable trials and difficulties for over thirty years. During the fifty-four years of its existence Augsburg Seminary has had a number of professors and instruc- tors, many of whom have, however, served for a short time only, or as substitutes during vacancies.

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 the proceedings of the investigation conducted by the Student Council shall be kept secret. Student are promoted on the basis of credits and not on the basis of classes. Grades The alphabetical scale is used in reporting the final grades; each letter constitutes a grade and has the fol- lowing significance: Excellent. Good. Fair. Passable. Conditioned- Failure. Incomplete. All conditions must be removed within the next quarter. No student shall be allowed to continue his work as a regular student if he is conditioned in more than two fifths of his work.
