General Inf ormatian
HISTORICAL SKETCH
AUGSBURG
was begun as a seminary in 1869, at Marshall, Wisconsin.
It was the first theological school founded by Norwegian Lutherans
in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known
as Marshall Academy, the Seminary was at first housed in the academy
building. Students who needed further preparation in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. In the autumn of 1872 Augsburg Seminary was removed to Minneapolis, Minnesota, where a
building had been erected for its use. In the same year the school was
incorporated under the laws of Minnesota. Its aim was to train ministers for the Lutheran congregations which were being organized in
growing numbers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading rapidly
over the Northwest.
The College was established when it became evident that in order to
get students who were adequately prepared for theological study a
college department was needed. In 1874 a curriculum was planned
which provided for one year of preparatory studies and four
years of college work along two lines, a classical course to prepare
students for theology, and a scientific course to prepare for other
professions. The first college students were enrolled in 1874 and the
first class was graduated in 1879.
In 1900 a high schaaI course covering three years was estabkhed
which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four-year course. This
was discontinued in 3833. In the years 1916-1919the mlIege course
was thoroughly revised. A s a result of W w and of subsequent growth,
the earlier clcsieal course was geatIy modified and suppIemmted bp
social and ~ i e n t i f i cstudies and a more general emphasis upon the
study nf she humanities. Tn recent rears there has been continuoas
stud? and modification Q £ the curriculum including the introduction
of a number of new majors to meet the developing needs of the ~tuderits.
The divisional organization was adopted in 1945. At the present time
26 majors are offered.
Coeducation was introduced in the College in 1922.
8
/ General information
Recent years, especially since the close of World War 11, have witnessed a greatly increased enrollment and a corresponding expansion of
physical facilities both in campus area and in buildings.
In the Theological Seminary there L s likewise been a continuing
revision of the curriculum and the addition of new courses to meet
changing needs. The requirement of a six-month period of internship
was added in 1939. A bachelor's degree or equivalent is the required
scholastic preparation for admission.
While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, the Seminary and the College continue to function in close cooperation and as
integral parts of one institution.
Five presidents have served Augsburg during the course of its history.

FUNDAMENTAL AIMS
THE EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES of Augsburg College and Theological
Seminary spring from the conviction that in the Christian religion
there are revealed the most basic truths concerning both man and God,
and that Christianity is the fundamental force for good in human life
and society. All the aims of the College, as well as those of the Seminary, are integrated with this principle.
Students who enroll at Augsburg are invited to take up their work
with the distinct understanding that the Christian spirit is determining
in all things. They are expected to cooperate wholeheartedly in the
program of the school towards that end. The entire program of the
school, curricular and extra-curricular, and the discipline necessary to
make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim
"to see all things through the eyes of Christ."

The library subscribes to about 425 of the best periodicals dealing
with a large variety of subjects, as well as a number of serials devoted
to the interests of special fields.
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 Jerome Hill
Reference Library in St. Paul, which has one of the finest reference
collections in the Northwest; and the University of Minnesota Library,
within walking distance of the Augsburg campus. Augsburg students
make extensive use of all these libraries.
NATURAL SCIENCE LABORATORIES
THE LABORATORIES of the Natural Sciences are located in the
Science Hall. Three laboratories and storeroom and office space
for Biology are located on the second floor; three larger laboratories
and two special research laboratories for Chemistry and two laboratories for Physics are located on the third and fourth floors. A chemistry library is located near the research facilities. Storerooms and
faculty offices are also located here.
Financial Information
A
CONSIDERABLE PART of the income on which Augsburg operates is
derived from endowment and from gifts, a major part of the latter
coming from the supporting church. Therefore, the fees charged the
student do not constitute the whole cost of his education, for he enjoys
the benefits of the gifts of those who believe in and support the work
of the school. For theological students, the church assumes the full
cost of tuition; a statement of other expenses in attending the seminary
is given in the Seminary section of the catalog.

Campus Life
THEINPLUEKCES which mould life and character on a college campus are
of many kind?. While rhe exercises of classroom, Iaboratary, and
library f o m ~the organizing basis of college a c t i v i ~ ?they need ro be
supplemented by ather than academic forces. T h e e intangible but
very real supplementary influrnces have n1uc11to do with ereatirg the
spirit of an institution. At .4ugsburg definirc emphasis is placed upon
thf maintenance of a rvholcmn~espirit of Christian community living*
Students are urged t o gite conscious attmtion 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.
It is the earnest desire of those who direct the policies of Augsburg
that the institution may constantly be permeated by an atmosphere in
which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerfully fostered in
each life.
All students are required to conlplete fourteen credit hours in courses
offered in Religion. There are numerous voluntary religious activities
in which students are encouraged to participate. Spiritual Emphasis
Week is held twice each year. It is assumed that every Augsburg student
will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly.
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 CHAPELSERVICE
The heart of Augsburg's program of Christian education is the daily
Chapel Service, where the faculty and students gather for united worship, prayer, and a brief meditation upon the Word of God. Regular
attendance is expected of all students.
RECREATION STANDARDS AND DISCIPLINE
At Augsburg all the work of the college rests on certain Biblical
affirmations about human nature and man's relation to God. The college
regards the Christian life as the truly significant life. This life implies
an intimate relation to the person of Christ. In the content of this
primary relationship the Christian also lives in a relationship to people,
to events, to things. The fact that God not only created the world but
became Man gives evidence that life in this world is not to be despised.
Campus Life
/ 25
The Christian liberal arts college takes seriously these relationships
and therefore seeks to educate the whole man. It follows that one of its
important responsibilities is to establish recreational programs and
policies that contribute to this end. It should be clear, however, that
in an age which is much concerned with the pursuit of pleasure, a
college like Augsburg should never subordinate its academic program
to leisure-time activities. On the contrary, the recreational program
must be in the content of, and be congruent with, the major inellectual
quests of the college; and both must have as their goal to help the
individual to live an effectual Christian life in the world.
In setting up a recreational and social program, Augsburg is conscious of its position as a coeducational Christian college of liberal
arts. The program takes into account the relationship between sexes
and seeks to provide normal and healthy opportunities for the expression
of the mutual attraction of the sexes. Augsburg offers a varied and
selective recreational and social program which gives preference to
those activities which are emancipatory rather than restrictive, those
which enrich community life rather than those which are divisive or
encourage selfish satisfactions.
The college provides a rarietr- of activities designed to meet these
requirements. The ancial p-rogam includes a number of organized allschool went5 combined with many les-structured activities designed
for specified smaller poups. Tn nttempting to meet the needs and
interests o f all Angsburg fhdenb, we make use of dl existing facilities
on campus and m a t y of those which are available in the Twin City area.
In seeking to develop a constructive recreational program, some
limitations have been placed upon certain other activities. The college
is opposed to all forms of gambling. I t forbicb the posmaion or consumption of alcoholic bererages in dormitories; in any collegeapproved place of residence, or at an? college-spansored event. Any
student found under the influence of Liquor i s subject to disciplinary
action. SociaI. or ballroom dancing. is not a part of the recreztiond
program of the college. Students arr encouraged to be digcriminating in
all types of recreation in which they engag. [hat their time may be well
v e n t . and strong moral and ethical ralues map be developed. Such
common activitie: as television vierving and movie-going. for example,
can easily become time-wasting and even detrimental to the development
of moral and ethical values.
Without attempting ta dictate to the indiridud conscience, the
college regards i t as its right to ask its students t o adapt thernselve.
to the social p r a p a m approred by the college and to follow it as memh e n of the cr~llegecommunity. Although thp college l a ~ dowm
s
specific
rules regarding most mattes only with respect to activities centering
on the rampus. it reserves the right t o dismiss any studmt whose
cnntinuation in colZegr is deemed undeirahle for social as we11 as for
academic reaFons. It i s the policy of the c o l l ~ pthat such action shall
not be taken capriciously, but only after the avaiIable campus resources
of counseling and judicial processes have been utilized. Thus, dis-
t6
/ C m W Life
ciplinary problems are first dealt with through counseling. Those not
solved in this way are channeled to a faculty-student Judicial Council
through the Office of the Dean of Students. In all such cases, careful
investigation and the privilege of a hearing precede any disciplinary
action.
RELIGIOUS PROGRAM
The Religious Life Commission, composed of students and faculty,
endeavors to promote a religious program that will stimulate growth
of Christian life in the Augsburg community. Chairman of this council
is the student Commissioner of Religious Activities. Areas for which
this committee carries primary responsibility are the Mid-Week services,
Spiritual Emphasis Weeks, prayer meetings, informal group meetings,
and a Pre-seminary club.
This Commission also serves as a coordinating agency for all voluntary Christian organizations on campus. The principal organization
is the Student Christian Association. The SCA seeks to serve as a
stimulus and outlet for Christian faith and life. Students participate
in regional and national Lutheran Student Association of America
Conferences, and conduct a schedule of meetings on campus.
The Mission Society, the service organization of SCA promotes
interest in missions through a program of study, fellowship, worship,
and service. A highlight of the year is the Mission Festival, a week-end
conference devoted to the study of missionary activity and recruitment
of workers.
The Concordia Society is an organization for all the students in the
Theological Seminary.
CONVOCATION
Regular convocations are held each Thursday throughout the year.
These programs acquaint the campus community with outstanding
personalities in various fields. A wide range of interests is covered,
including the scientific, political, social, religious, and artistic.
SOCIAL AND RECREATIONAL ACTIVITIES
Students at Augsburg are given many opportunities for social training
and recreation. The S t d e n t Council through the Commissioner of
Social Activities, assisted by a Commission on Social and Recreational
Life, sponsors each month an all-school social activity which all students
may attend. Most of these are informal. The Sophomore and Junior
classes spon:or semi-formal banquets. The Associated Women Students
and.a number of other organizations sponsor teas, dinners, and social
affairs on and off campus.
,4ugsbnrg7's location in Minneapolis gitw i t s shdmts unique opportunities to make use of some of rhe finest educational and cultural
adrantag3 which the Northwst has to offer. Excellent art coUectinns
are to he fonnd i n the Minneapolis Institute of
and the WaIker
Art Center. The Twin City libraries are evteneive in their services.
The Historical Museum in St. Paul gives access to large coflections of
historical material. The Minneapolis Symphony @ T C ~ F ~ ~ Tprograms

and other concerts affnrd rich npporiuni~yfor the e n j o y e n t of music.
Many students and faculty attend Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
concerts by virtue of a special college season ticket arrangement.
Season tickets are available also for other University concerts and the
University Theater drama programs.
A monthly bulletin, Augsburg Plus, listing programs, concerts, art
displays and exhibitions is compiled and issued from the Student Personnel Office.

special use to him in such r*oc;rtions as teaching and coaching or
recreational leadership, or in his own recreational activities. Far from

THEWORK in the Seminary should be regarded as a full time vocation.
However, when a student's circumstances require it, a limited amount
of remunerative work will be permitted. This must be arranged in
consultation with the Dean. Occasional preaching engagements may be
accepted, but a student is not allowed to supply a vacant parish more
frequently than every other Sunday.
CONDITIONS AND ZNCOMPLETES
A
CONDITION or an incomplete received at the end of the semester
must be removed within the first six weeks of classes of the following
semester or within a year if the student has not re-enrolled. If incomplete~and conditions are not removed within the time allowed, the
condition automatically becomes a failure and the incomplete will be
recorded as a passing grade only if the average of previous work is
sufficiently high.
SEIWINARY INTERNSHIP
IN ADDITION to the three years of theological study in the Seminary
each student is required to spend six months in practical service, as
appointed and supervised by the Committee on Service. This work is
done during the summer vacations between the beginning and conclusion of the Seminary course.
A limited amount of assigned collateral reading is required during
the in-service period.
The Seminary students are also encouraged to engage in a limited
amount of practical church work during the school year either in the
Twin Cities or in nearby communities.
STUDENT ACTIVITIES
ALL SEMINARY STUDENTS are members of the Concordia Society. A
principal purpose of this organization is "to promote and strengthen
a deeper spiritual fellowship among its members." The weekly meetings
are devoted to prayer and to the consideration of student affairs. The
Seminary joins with the College in a daily chapel service.
During his seminary years, each student is associated with a specific
congregation and is encouraged to serve there. As a united project,
the Concordia Society has recently assumed responsibility for conducting Saturday noon services at the Gateway Mission.
The Concordia Society promotes student participation in the InterSeminary Movement and in the Association of Lutheran Seminaries in
America. On a more local level, the student body participates in a
fellowship of five Protestant seminaries in the Twin Cities.

connected to the Middle Ages, but must examine it with professors from at least three different disciplines. The
traditional disciplines that comprise medieval studies are art history, English, history, music history, philosophy, religion,
and theater history, but students have also completed projects involving professors from other disciplines, such as
149
sociology and psychology. Experiential approaches are encouraged but not required. For example, past students have
built medieval musical instruments, medieval suits of armor, and Renaissance commedia dell’arte masks, and then
written about the process.

Strategic Management
3 Semester Credits
We all observe that some organizations (public/private, for profit/not-for-profit) are more successful than others. These
organizations generally survive over the long term and meet customer/client needs effectively, securing and maintaining
a competitive advantage over alternatives. This is accomplished in the context of an environment that changes rapidly.
These organizations continually adapt to new circumstances, usually coordinating change in a variety of different
functional areas. Strategy, in its broadest sense, is a major determinant of long-term performance differentials. Strategy
matches the organization’s capabilities to its market position, facilitates resource allocation, and provides guidance for
decision-making. Student learning experience two is embedded in this course using a business simulation.
