Students who have completed the course receive upon graduation the degree of Bachelor of Arts. and ar‘ admitted to the graduate departments of universities both in America and l‘iurope. Augsburg Seminary endeavors to awaken and nourish the spiritual life in all its students. For this reason it not only makes attendance in classes of religious instruction obligatory. but it also seeks to surround the young men entrusted to its care with a truly Christian atmosphere liach class in the Academic and College Departments is given religions instruction two hours a week. and besides this a voluntary class for the study of missions has been maintained for several years. led by one of the liaculty members. livery morning. except Sunday. all stu— dents are required to attend chapel exer- l cises. which are led by one of the professors. Frequently visiting pastors and others are invited to speak to the students in chapel. l‘raycr—Ineetings 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. as the students attend the serv- ices in the different churches of the 1.117 theran Free Church in Minmapolis. where a large number of them also take active part in Sunday school work. young people's work, and church choirs. The 'l‘heological Department of .\ugs— burg Seminary offers to its students a three— year course of study. The aim is to give them a thoro knowledge of the ’iible. 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 lll'l\'.

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 God’s house. The majority of the 'l‘heological students of Augsburg Seminary are naturally preparing themselves for service either in the home Church or in foreign mission fields. But many of the students in the Academy and College also have the same calling in view. lior this reason many of them are engaged in Church work during their vacations. and. PAGE NINETEEN Show less

And yet the load was growing too heavy. On the evening of the 25th of May. 1871. the president summoned the school to discuss an important matter. The very existence of the institution was at stake. “I see no alternative but to quit." said he, after having explained the situation. It was a dark night. And grave was the hour. Young. huskv men sat with tear-filled eyes. Then Saugstad. I believe. broke the silence. "Day is com- ing." said he. Others chimed in. All spoke words of cheer. “No, we cannot quit." "Then let us join hands and promise to work faithfully for the cause of the Kingdom." said the president. And as we stood with hand in hand he read a scripture passage and ended with an earnest prayer. Augsburg Seminary was saved. V 0f the nineteen young men who on that memorable May evening clasped hands. three entered other callings. but the rest have served the Lord as ministers in His church. and have. as we hope. done a work of no small blessing. It was not to be expected that men of such strong individuality should work along the same lines: but they were all under the spell of that one great ideal. to glorify (lod by working for the salvation of souls and the upbuilding of (lod's kingdom :unong our people. Of the teachers and students who were present at the opening of the school in 1869. many have passed away. but some are yet living. among them the founder of the seminary and for many years its president. A. \Veen- aas. who up till a short tiine ago was a pastor in the Church of Norway. but now lives as pastor emeritus near Christiania. Norway. Only one of the flock is still active in the service of the church. and he has grown old and gray. But it gives him pleasure to join in this jubilee and on behalf of himself and fellow students to express our deep—felt gratitude to God and to Augsburg Seminary for what it was to us. May the rich blessing of God rest on the school. its teachers. and its students. l'AG FZ’I'\\'I€N’1‘Y-FOUll rm: m‘ ' awn; .ta—L ‘ Show less

The same eternal. unchanging voice, which spoke to the prophet. speaks to us. in this day of divers calls and attractions. Thru the multitude of sounds issuing forth from the turmoil of our intense and turbulent life, we haw heard the calm, iinpelling voice of God. The Lord has abundant use for men in times like these. He has gigantic tasks for those who are willing to enter into His service. The magnitude of the challenge given to this generation of men is appalling. 'l‘ho cognizant of these conditions, we have ventured to say. “Here am I; send me." l’.\lH-I 'l‘llllt'l‘Y-'l'\\'() Show less

Bonds of convention have been loosed and the uses and standards of the past are crumbling before the onset of strong materialistic forces. Criterions which have obtained during many centuries are cast into the shadow of doubt. Man is endeavoring‘ to build a new structure of social and moral theory. It is our belief that the elemental truths still remain constant and im— movable in the face of every wind of doctrine. The various ludicrous theories which are being promulgated are evidences of a weakened race of men. whose minds are unable to penetrate the mist—clouds of narrow human thought and see the eternal verities. It is the aspiration of all thinkng men to find the truth, and having found it, to make it the determinant principle in life. A man is as strong as his conviction of the truth. PAGE ’l‘Hl RTY-ON l“.
