Prayer-meetings are held several evenings a week, either by the student body or by smaller groups of students. No Sunday services are held at the Seminary. The students are expected to attend the services in the different congregations of the Lutheran Free Church in Minneapolis. They are encouraged to take active part in Sunday school work, young peo- ple’s work, and church choirs. The Theological Seminary offers a three-year course of study. The aim is to give a thoro knowl- edge of the Bible, the history of the Christian 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 obe- dience 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 Augsburg Seminary are naturally preparing them- selves 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 vacations. A number of student organizations have been formed, and several of them have attained a very Show less

To suit the conditions that exist in the school- room and to permit flexibility, the work is divided into four sets, each of which is separate and distinct. While it is necessary to complete the four sets in order that the student may have a thoro knowledge of the subject, yet he may discontinue at the end of any one set with his knowledge being complete as far as he has advanced. ELEMENTS OF COMMERCIAL LAW A study of negotiable instruments and business law is taken up in conjunction with the course in bookkeeping. COMMERCIAL ARITHMETIC The work in this branch is purely practical and covers the entire range of commercial computations, beginning with the fundamentals, including common and decimal fractions, aliquots, denominate num- bers, computations in trade and industries, percent- age, commercial discount, loss and gain, interest, commission, stock, bonds, money and exchange, and financial settlements and adjustments. Most of the advanced work in this subject is directly related to bookkeeping and arranged to meet the needs of the individual student. Five periods a week.

Dissensions which arose in connection with the organization of the Norwegian—Danish Con- ference 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 there- fore rightly regarded as one of-the greatest bene- factors of the school. The subsequent years have not only been full of struggles, but also of great blessings, as the school 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 difficul- ties 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 Professors Georg Sverdrup and Sven Oftedal. They were instruments in the hand of God to carry the school thru innumerable trials and difliculties for over thirty years. During the fifty-nine years of its existence Augsp burg Seminary has had a number of professors and instructors, many of whom have, however, served for a short time only, or as substitutes during vacan- Show less
