General Information HISTORY AND AIMS FUNDAMENTAL AIMS T h e educationai purposes of Augsburg College and Theological Seminary spring from the conviction that Christianity is rhe fundamental force for good in human life. All rhe aims of rhe College, as well as those of the Seminary, are bound together by this principle. To express more distinctty the meaning of this, the following statement of aims has been formulated by the College faculty: T o lead the studemt to a deeper understanding and pe~sonal realization of the truth and power of the Chr3stian Gospel, to the end that he may become an effective participant in the evangelical and missionary task of the Church and an earnest advocate of the Christian way of life both for the individual and for society. To fawiliarize fbe d t ~ d e n twith the rult7~r.cof 01tr owrt a d other rhilizothtr~,not only for the enjoyment this knowledge a£fords but also for the development of a more sympathetic understanding of our fellow men throughout the world. T o dmelop fbe student's ititeresf it# flse attainment of t h ~ r o ~ ~ ~parposes w m of m&rcu?~.rr.try, so that he may work f o r the wetfare of our institutions and for the preservation of our liberties in communiry and nation, and also develop an enlightened interest and participarion in human affairs throughout the rest of the worId. T o cultivate in the student a Cht-istian social spirit, in order that he may realize in his life a right balance between what he expects of others and the service he will render his fellow men. T o teach the shcdefzt to discijlitre his own urges, interests, ambitions, and Aemunds in a way that will effectively contribute toward the development of good character. T o train the studercf in scientific methods of study and also develop his understanding of the relations of science to the welfare of humanity. To stirnd.de intellectuul iderest and dewelup schhzrly insight, so that the student may learn to think with accuracy and comprehension at the same time as he experiences an understanding of truth which will help him to integrate the findings of science with the deepest spiritual reality. T o a w b n and foster in the student an intelligent appreciatfon and enjoyment of the best in the fields of the fine arts. T o guide the student in the 1cnderstading of sochd relationsb@s in order that he may take his place in groups and gatherings with propriety and grace, motivated in his conversation and conduct by the principles of Christian courtesy and sincerity. T o provide guidance for the studeat in the discovery and clarification of his aptitudes and his Zife purposes so that as early as possible he may plan his educational program wisely. T o t r h s t d e n t s in voc~tionaland professicmctl lines, giving full preparation for high school teaching, business administration, home economics, and parish work; furnishing partial training towards the study of medicine, dentistry, nursing, engineering, law, and social service, and offering a four-year college course preparing for the study of theology. T o help the student develop certain skills, as in language, music, physical activities, use of the library, laboratory work, and typewriting, together with other skills, which will increase his egciency in the various relationships of life. T o aford tbe student wblesome r e m e a t i d experieme which will contribute toward an effective use of leisure time and develop such qualities as leadership, sportsmanship, and self-control, with good recreational habits, thus providing a constant source of social and personal satisfaction. T o iastrzcct the student in principles, attjtudes, and ideas pertaining t o health, and also to train him in practices and skills which will promate his physical and mental well-being and make him better fit to meet the responsibilities of life. The work of the whole institution, both the Seminary and the College, is done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with the distinct tlnder~tanrl;agthat&M*tisb&ginall* ~ a r e o s f t e d t o ~ ~ ~ y i n t h t p r o g r a m o f t h 6 - mwmhthotend, T h e e a t i r e p r o g r o m o f t h e ~ ~ S L C t d exm~,andtEtt~Zinethou~twkindertom;rke &ble~~guutoftbkprognan,springfrcau&esim"to see&thin&~thmu&tHe~&of~" h o b e u t in Aupburg G k g e d Thabgid ! b i n a r y p s rmponthepwtdche~tfdl~donimtfteway~ prlscriM for the a m k m e u t of t h e e aims.

The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the in 1879. In ~ g o a high EIChPoIcawme covering three years was e s d i & d which in 19x0 w a ~ w a standard four-pr came, This was Wntieaed in 1933. In the years I ~ X & E ~ Xthe ~ cnlIep first class was graduated course was thoroughly revised in conformity with modern developments. As a result of this and of subsequent growth, the strictly classical course has been largely modified and supplemented by social and scientific studies and a more general emphasis upon the study of the humanities. During 'the past ten years Majors' have been added in the fields of Business Administration, Sckiology, Physical Education, Music, and Home Economics. Until 1921 only men were admitted, but in that year coeducation was introduced. In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been introduction of new courses and enlargement of the faculty. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor's degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved such an arrangement mutually wholesome and stimulating. Five Presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its history. The terms of oflice of two of these cover a span of over half a century. The first President was August Weenaas, who served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, I 876 t o 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 191I and was followed by George Sverdru~,whose term extended from I 9 I I to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937 until the election of Bernhard Christensen in 1938. From I 870 to I 890, Augsburg was supported by the NorwegianDanish Lutheran Conference. The merger of that church body with two others, in 1890, resulted in the aililiation of Augsburg with the newly created United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due to ditFerences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose, and in 1897 congregations whose sympathies were deeply rooted in Augsburg formed the Luthcrzn Free Church. The resulting close association, in educational and spiritual activity, of Augsburg and the Lutheran Free Church has been marked by complete harmony of purpose and ideals for more than haIf a century. The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. The Annual Conference of the Church nominates the members of the Augsburg Corporation and the Board of Trustees. The Cor- poration through the Board of Trustees exercises direct control over property, finance, and personnel. Academic control is vested in the President and the Faculty. In addition to the income from student tuition and fees, which has materially increased with the growth and development of the College, the chief hancial support of the institution comes from the congregations of the Lutheran Free Church. In recent years a' growing circle of friends also outside the Lutheran Free Church, both alumni and others, have contributed financially t o the support of the school. Augsburg welcomes and invites such support on the part of all who believe in her program of vital Christian education. Augsburg College is a member of the Association of American college& the National Lutheran Educational Conference, the Association of Minnesota Colleges, and the State Council of Minnesota Colleges. BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT LOCATION Augsburg College and Theological Seminary is located in the Riverside Park area of South Minneapolis, across the Mississippi River from the University of Minnesota and within walking distance of the main business section of the city. Science Hall, containing the administration oaces, is located at the corner of Seventh Street and Twenty-first Avenue South. Augsburg students have the advantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections. They may hear the best music and lectures. They may contact modern life at one of its focal points. BUILDINGS The Main, erected in 1900, contains the Chapel, the Library, the Seminary classrooms and osces, and a number of college classrooms and ogces. Science Hall, erected in 1948-49 and taken into use at the beginning of the present school year, is a large and completely modern college building. I t includes, besides the administration offices, well-equipped laboratories for Chemistry, Physics, Biology, and Home Economics, as well as the student organization offices, the Student Center, a small auditorium, classrooms,. and faculty offices. On the fourth floor is the Tower Prayer Chapel. Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a modern, fireproof dormitory affording living quarters for about 150 men. On the ground floor of this building is the college cafeteria and dining hall. Sivertsen Hall, acquired in 1939, is a splendid dormitory accommodating about 50 women. Plans are under way for the erection of an addition to this dormitory. Morton Hall, erected in 1888, and Edda House, purchased and remodeled in 1948, are smaller dormitories for women, each accommodating about 2 0 students. During 1947 two new buildings were added, both located on 23rd Avenue across the Square from the older part of the Campus. The Gymnasium, a well-built and well-equipped temporary structure, was erected for the College by the Federal Works Agency as a part of a program providing educational facilities for veterans. The Music Hall, formerly the Tabernacle Baptist Church, was acquired by purchase, and remodeled to serve the needs of the Music Department. Quite a number of dwellings have been acquired in recent years in the expanded campus area, which are used for faculty and student housing until this need can be met through more permanent structures. Also three temporary housing units have been erected by the Federal Works Agency on the campus ground. The President's Home, a beautiful residence of modern architectural design, located at the south of the Square, was erected in 1949. Some years ago the beginning was made of a Museum for the school. Members of the Alumni Association have presented manv valuable gifts. There are several collections: a Madagascar Col- lection, a Santal Collection, and a considerable collection of rare minerals, curios, etc. Contributions should be sent to Prof. L. Lillehei, Curator. In the spring of 1929 the Augsburg Archive Society was organized. The purpose of this organization is to gather and preserve documents, books, and other articles of historical value. To house the Archives a fire-proof room which was provided in the Main has been replaced recently by a large room on the ground floor of Science Hall. Here are now found a fine collection of periodicals, old and rare books, manuscripts, letters, and pictures, and also about ~ , o o ovolumes of Norwegian-American literature, affording rich resources for scholarly research. Further contributions to the Archives should be sent to Prof. L. Lillehei, Archivist. The collectio~sin the Library aggregate about 26,000 volumes exclusive of pamphlets. Two hundred of the best periodicals, and pamphlets dealing with popular subjects, and a number of serials devoted to the interests of special fields are received currently. Students have access to the Library daily from 7:45 A. M. to 1o:oo P. M. On Saturday the Library closes at 4:00 P. M. In the Twin City area other libraries are located which make their holdings available to Augsburg students, notably, the St. Paul and Minneapolis public libraries, the latter of which issues library cards to out-of-town students for each school year; the James Hill Reference Library in St. Paul, which has one 'of the finest reference collections in the Northwest; and the University of Minnesota Library, which is within walking distance of the Augsburg campus and is a splendid source of materials for research papers. Each year Augsburg students make extensive use of all these libraries. The laboratories of the Natural Sciences are located in the Science Hall. Three laboratories and two storerooms for Biology are located on the second floor; three laboratories and a large storeroom for Chemistry, and a laboratory and the two storeroams for Physics are located on the third floor. To facilitate instruction the callege provides many excellent visual and auditory aids. Available for classroom use, and for the use of other college activities, are the following: 16mm. sound movie projector, 3 I / q q inch slide projector (several), 2 y ' ~ 2 yslide y projector, Balopticon, sound ampliiication system, film strip projector, magnetic tape recording machine. There is also a well equipped photography department. The Auditorium in Science Hall is fully equipped for visual education classes and lectures. Several classrooms are also provided with facilities for projection. The Book Shoppe of The Messenger Press is located at 2120 Riverside Avenue, one block from the campus. Here are readily available not only text-books, stationery, and supplies, but $50 a fine selection of Christian literature. EXPENSES For Theological students, tuition is free.

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 definite 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 development and thus contribute toward the prevalence of a vital and happy Christian atmosphere on the campus. I t is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at- GENERALINFORMATION mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerfully fostered in the life of each student. 23 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. Regular attendance is expected of all students. All students are required to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses &red in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities in which students are urged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis Week is heId twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly. CULTURAL OPPORTUNITIES Augsburg's location in Minneapolis gives its students unique opportunities to make use of some of the finest educational and cultural advantages which the Northwest has to offer. Excellent art collections are to be found in The Minneapolis Institute of Arts and the Walker Art Gallery. The Twin City libraries are large and extensive in their services. The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large collections of historical material. In the Twin Cities are located both the University of Minnesota and several colleges, affording contacts which are conducive to intellectual and cultural stimulus and development. CONVOCATION Regular convocation programs are held a t Augsburg &roughout the year. These programs aim to acquaint the campus community with outstanding personalities and problems in various fields. A wide range of interests is covered, including the scientzc, political, social, religious, and artistic. STUDENT PERSONNEL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION The coordination of the many ~ersonnelservices is the responsibility of a twelve-member Faculty Council headed by the Dean of the College. Individual members of the Council or subcommittees direct the various activities, which include academic and personal counseling, housing and food service, recreation and health, employment and placement, and student activities. 1 The Luther League, the Mission Society, the Lutheran Student Association, the National Student Association Council, and a large number of departmental and special interest clubs are directly supervised by the Student Council. A Student-Faculty committee of eight members promotes and supervises student activities serving as a liaison between the Faculty and Student Councils. The counseling program for new students begins as soon as the Admissions and Scholarship Committee has approved their applications. All available data concerning each prospective student are combined with test results obtained during Freshman Week for use during registration. Each new student is assigned a faculty counselor, generally on the basis of mutual academic interest. This assignment continues for the first two years. At a scheduled period during Freshman Week, the student meets with his counselor for registration. At least three additional counseling periods are scheduled for each semester. Whenever he feels the need, the student is encouraged to see his counselor for help to discover and develop as fully as p a sible his latent abilities. Upper-class students are counseled by their major advisers. Additional counseling is provided for the students by the use of student counselors. Each entering Freshman is assigned a student counselor, who works with a faculty counselor in each instance. The program is organized by a Student Counselor Steering Committee working with the Personnel Committee. Adjustment to college is one of several subjects introduced during Freshman Week. The various phases of this important problem of personal adjustment are given thorough study in the Orientation course which meets one hour per week throughout the first semester. Vocational possibilities within the divisional organization of the College are presented and course sequences are discussed. Personal and health probl&s, social adjustment, vocational and educational aims are examined from the point of view of individual needs. Special problems in counseling are referred to the Personnel Committee, which is composed of a member of the Department of Christianity, the Registrar, a professor of Psychology, the Director of Physical Education, the Dean of Women, and the Dean of Men, who serves as chairman. The administration of the counseling program is the work of the Personnel Committee. A system of referral makes available to any student the resources and special abilities of the entire faculty. Through all phases of the counseling program, the primary aim is the welfare of the individual student. The personal problems of the students are dealt with in the light of the following spiritual purposes and ideals. It is expected 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 must be the product of the united effort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. The Christian ideals of Augsburg give no room for such demoralizing practices as gambling, drinking, frequenting of public dances, indiscriminate attendance at movies, and objectionable card playing. Students enrolled at Augsburg must, therefore, not participate in such practices. Augsburg reserves the right t o dismiss or to discipline any student who is not amenable t o advice and direction. The school likewise reserves the right to dismiss any student whose general conduct or influence is unwholesome. Such a student may be removed although no formal charge is made against him. RECREATION AND SOCIALLIFE "No man is a hypocrite in his pleasures." To learn to enjoy the right form of recreational activities is an important aspect of preparation for life. A t Augsburg there is a definite attempt to encourage the formation of helpful recreational habit-patterns, not only as regards the definitely planned play-program supervised and directed by the Department of Physical Education, but as regards the use of leisure time in general. Wholesome social activities of many kinds are fostered and encouraged. Also in this area the goal is "to see all things through the eyes of Christ." The Stdent Center, in the new Science Hall, serves as a social, cultural, and conference area for students. During the day, students use the Center as a general reading and committee room. The campus post o6ce is adjacent to the Student Center, as are also The Student Council Room and The Echo and The Augsburgian o0ices. The Prayer Chapel in the tower of the new Science Hall is open at all times for quiet meditation and prayer. Smaller groups may request the use of the chapel for devotional meetings. A room for off campus men is located in Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall and for off campus women in Morton Hall. All students who are not living at home are required to room in the College dormitories, unless permission to room elsewhere is granted by one of the Deans. Such permission must be secured before final arrangements are made. Residents in dormitories are required to take their meals in the College dining hall except those students who are employed away from the College. The charges for room and board are payable in advance. The residence halls are open for the occupancy of students on the day preceding the beginning of registration. Temporary arrangements may be made for students who have permission to come early to seek employment. Meals are served commencing on the morning of the first. day of registration. Dormitories are officially closed daring all vacations within twenty-four hours after the last session of -class work except by special arrangement with the Deans. Dormitory residents are held responsible for breakage or injury to the furniture and furnishings. The College believes in the educational value of group living under faculty supervision. It is expected that life in the dormitories should foster the development of Christian character, selfcontrol, and consideration for the rights of others. SVERDRUP-OFTEDAL MEMORIAL &L This dormitory for men, erected in 1938, accommodates about students. The modern arrangement of the dormitory, with its suites of two rooms for every three or four students, helps to make this an inviting College home for men. The rooms are furnished except for bedding and linen. I 50 HOUSINGFOR WOMEN The college operates a cottage plan of supervised residences for women, pending the building of the planned additions to Sivertsen Hall. College-operated residences for women include Sivertsen Hall, 2323 South Sixth Street, which houses fifty; Morton Hall, 730 rznd Avenue South, which houses twenty; Edda House, 2222 7% Street South, which houses twenty-four.
