HERE are some very definite things which go to make up a worthy life. One of these things is that trait of character which is called loyalty. As young men—and it is from the point of view of young men that we speak—it is essential to have a good foundation. A good foundation for life is such principles as will make a solid and a beautiful structure when they are practised. True knowledge brings forth principles of this kind and clarifies them. Besides the way of knowledge of truth, there is also another way by which the true principles of life are grasped. The vision we see when our eyes are directed along the rays of light which emanate from divine revela- tion clears up for us these principles as nothing else can do. There is a new dignity of life, a deeper reality and a more worthy purpose in it all which we are given to see when we have the light of divine truth to guide us. But there is need of an earnest and steadfast adherence to the truth. This is a life task. Loyalty to the l)est that is in us, loyalty to the purpose formed in our minds when the vision of God is in our souls, loyalty to Christ. whose redeeming power we have felt in our lives. this is our life work. It is no easy task always in all things to be faithful. ’l‘here are so many times when troubles on the one hand and temptations on the other confuse us. Our own natural inclinations, our selfishness stands in our way. \\'e are frequently occupied with daily tasks that we cannot see clearly. Our conscience is lulled to sleep by a thousand considerations. Then it is well to have trained into our characters the spirit of loyalty When we have taken our stand and made our choice we are not easily led to forget and much less to betray that stand. It is a second nature in us to be faithful. Our choice has been made in clear light; therefore it is a good choice. In seasons of dim light loyalty to that choice will carry us through. Loyalty to our homes. loyalty to our school. loyalty to our church, loyalty to God, with no betrayal or treachery. will go a long way towards attaining for us a worthy life. GEORG -‘. SVEleFI’.

It is the oldest Norwegian Lutheran school of its kind in .\ineriea. From its foundation until 18‘“) it was the 'l‘heologieal Seminar} oi the Norwegian-l)anish Conference. and from 18"") until 18"“ it served as the divinity school of the L'nited Norwegian Lutheran Church of _\meriea. Since the latter date it has heen eouneeted with the Lutheran liree (‘hureh movement. For several years prior to 1800 the Seandinavian Augustaua Synod had maintained a 'l‘heologieal Seminary at I’axton, Illinois. This institution served both the Swedish and the Norwegian ehurehes of that Synod as a union seminary. The founding of .\ugshurg Seminary was the result of a mutual agreement to divide the l’axton school and to estahlish a separate institution to serve the Norwegian Congregations, as it was quite evident that the interests of the Norwegian hraneh of the \ugustana Synod \vould in that way he served to greater advantage.

A preparatory curriculum has been maintained from the beginning. consisting at first of a one-year course, but later on devel— oped and enlarged into complete Academic and College Departments. The beginning was quite insignificant; the congregations supporting the school were neither large nor numerous. Dissensions which arose in con- nection with the organization of the Norwegian-Danish Conference in 1870 made the existence of the new school very precarious and its work difficult. lleuce it was no wonder that “when Professor \Veenaas, who was then 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 \ugsbnrg 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 been full of struggles. but also full of bless— ings. Often attacked by enemies. and not always as unitedly and strongly supported by its frieiids 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 fulfill the mission of its calling. l’rofessor .\ugnst \\'eenaas. the founder of Augsburg Seminary and its first president, will always deserve to be remembered as a man who faith— inlly and with great courage laid the foundation of the oldest divinity school among Norwegian immigrants in America and carried the school thru the diiliculties 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 Professors (leorge Sverdrup and Sven ()ftedal. They were instruments in (lod's hand to carry the school thru innumerable trials and difficulties for over thirty years. .\ngsburg Seminary was incorporated in the year of 1872. the following persons being the inCorporators and members of the first Board of Trustees: Rev. T. H. l)al1l, Rev. Anion johnson, Mr. Knut Olsen. Rev. O. Paulson, and Mr. A. Tharaldsen. In all. twenty—eight persons [have from time to time served on the Board of 'l‘rustees. the most prominent of the older members being l’rof. Sven Oftedal and Rev. Ole Paulson. The five members now serving as trustees are: Mr. Otto Hanson (1901—), Rev. E. E. Gynild (1907—i, Mr. Knut Flaa (1909—). Rev. K. B. Birkeland (1911—), and Dr. C. M. Roan (1919—). The school owns one city block, with the exception of two lots. situated between 21st and 22nd Avenues, and 7th and 8th Streets South. On this site live buildings have been erected. The first of these was the old Main Build- ing. the west wing of which was erected in 1871-72. while the central part PAGE SIXTEEN Show less
