The :1 ngshurg .llcdh‘ul slid Emit/y, founded in 187". is an organization for the mutual aid of members in case of sickness. All students who room at the Sem— inary are members of the society. Students rooming out— side but who take their meals in the Hoarding L'lub may also be admitted as members. The fee is decided upon from year to year: it is usually $1.50 a year. The mem— bers are entitled to free medical attendance. but no stu- dent may receive aid exceeding)r $15 in any one school year. The Students" il/isxiouury Society was organized in 1885. It has awakened among the students a remarkable interest both in Home and Foreign Missions. The first missionary sent to heathen lands by Norwegian Luther ans in America was a charter member of this society. The programs, which are given once a month, consist of reports by students and lectures by prominent mission- aries, pastors. and other mission \\'orli:ers. The mem- Show less
