Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION HISTORY AND AIMS Fundamental Aims Augsburg Seminary is the training school for pastors and mis' sionaries of the Lutheran Free Church. Augsburg College aims to give a fourvyear college course as the foundation for the theological study. Augsburg College also 05ers training to young people who wish to prepare themselves for graduate work in certain specific fields or for high school teaching. The College further provides a general cultural education for those who do not wish to pursue any of the abovementioned lines of study. This work is all done on the basis of Christianity. The students who come are invited to take up their college work with this distinct understanding that the Christian spirit is determining in all things. They are asked to cooperate willingly in the program of the school towards this end. The entire program of the school, curricular and extracurricular, and the discipline thought wise in order to make possible the carrying out of this program, spring from the aim to see all things “through the eyes of Christ." Upon this understanding the student is invited to come, and enrolment in Augsburg College and Seminary presupposes on his part full cooperation in the ways prescribed for the attainment of these goals. History Augsburg Seminary was founded in 1869, at Marshall. Wisconv sin. It was the first theological seminary started by Norwegian Lutherans in America. Through an arrangement with a private institution known as Marshall Academy the Seminary was housed in the academy building. Students who needed further preparat tion in academic subjects were to obtain this in the academy. This arrangement failed to work out harmoniously, so the theological group moved to a private dwelling, where classes continued until 1872. In the autumn of that year the 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. The aim of the institution was to train ministers for the Luv theran congregations which were being organized in growing numv Show less

Show more10 AUGSBURG COLLEGE AND SEMINARY bers in the pioneer settlements that were spreading rapidly over the Northwest. It soon became evident: that in order to get stu' dents who were adequately prepared for theological study a college department was needed. So in 1874 a college 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 the professions. The latter course, however, had to be dis' continued, partly for lack of funds and partly because too.few students selected the course. The first college students were en! rolled in 1874 and the first class was graduated in 1879. In 1900 a high school course covering three years was estab’ lished which in 1910 was expanded to a standard four year course. This was discontinued in 1933. In the years 191611919 the college course was thoroughly revised in conformity with modern develop! ments. The student body was growing and the faculty was en' larged. Up to 1921 only men were admitted, but in that year coeducation was introduced. In the Theological Seminary there has likewise been introduc’ tion of new courses and enlargement of the faculty. Standards of admission have been raised so that a bachelor’s degree or equivalent is now the required scholastic preparation. While the Theological Seminary has its own organization, yet the Seminary and the College function in close cooperation. Long experience has proved such an arrangement mutually wholesome and stimulat' mg. Four Presidents served Augsburg throughout the main portion of its history of seventy'one years. The terms of office of two of these cover a span of over half a century. The first President was August Weenaas, who served from 1869 to 1876. He was succeeded by Georg Sverdrup, 1876 to 1907. Sven Oftedal served from 1907 to 1911 and was followed by George Sverdrup, whose term extended from 1911 to 1937. H. N. Hendrickson served as Acting President from 1937 until the election of Bernhard Chrisr tensen in 1938. Support and Control From 1870 to 1890 Augsburg was supported by the Norwegian' Danish Lutheran Conference. From 1890 to 1893 it was supported by the United Norwegian Lutheran Church. Due to differences concerning the control of Augsburg a division arose, the minority faction continuing to support the school. In 1897 these congrer gations organized the Lutheran Free Church, which since that time has supported Augsburg. The control exercised by the Lutheran Free Church is indirect. Show less

BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT Location Augsburg College and Seminary is located on Eighth Street and Twentyrfirst Avenue South, in Minneapolis, within walking dis— tance of the business section of the city. Students have the ad' vantage of getting their college education in a metropolitan center pulsating with industrial, social, and cultural activities. They have access to libraries, museums, and art collections. They may hear the best music and lectures. They may contact modern life at one of its focal points. Building' s The main building, erected in 1900, contains the offices of the administration, the chapel, the library, class rooms, chemistry and physics laboratories, and a gymnasium. The Old Main, erected in 1872175, is the oldest of the dormitories. It also houses the music department, the biology laboratory, and certain offices. West Hall, erected in 1874, and Morton Hall, erected in 1888, are used as dormitories for women. The Sverdrup-Oftedal Memorial Hall, erected in 1938, is a thoroughly modern, fireproof dormi' tory affording living quarters for over a hundred men. In the basement of this building is a modern cafeteria and a large dining hall. In 1939 the school acquired the Sivertsen Hall, a dormiv tory for women.

Show moreGENERAL INFORMATION 1 5 CAMPUS COMMUNITY LIFE Christian Environment The influences which mould life and character on a college campus are of many kinds. While the exercises of class room, laboratory, and library form the organizing basis of college activity, they need to be supplemented by other than academic forces. These intangible but very real supplementary influences have much to do with creating the “spirit” of an institution. At Augsburg definite emphasis is placed upon the maintenance of a wholesome spirit of Christian community living. Students are urged to give conscious attention to this personal and spiritual side of their de velopment 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 Augsr burg that the institution may constantly be permeated by an at mosphere in which the quest for Truth as it is in Christ is prayerv fully fostered in the life of each student. In order to help toward attaining these goals the faculty and students gather in chapel every day for a brief meditation upon God's Word and the deepest needs of the human soul. Regular attendance is expected of all students. All students are required also to register for two class hours per week in one of the courses ofered in Christianity. There are numerous voluntary religious activities, too, in which students are urged to participate. Special Religious Emphasis Weeks are held twice each year. It is as sumed that every Augsburg student will find a church home in Minneapolis and attend its services regularly. Discipline The disciplinary problems of the college are dealt with in the light of the spiritual purposes and ideals stated above. It is ex' pected 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 cannot, of course, be created or maintained by legalistic regulation. It must be the product of the united eifort and prayer of faculty, students, and administration. Show less

Pictures, lamps, and rugs are op’ tional. All articles should be marked with the owner’s name. Sivertsen Hall A new residence hall for women was acquired in 1939 through the generosity of Dr. Ivar Sivertsen. This beautiful modern build ing is located three short blocks from the main campus and ac, commodates about forty upper class students. The rooms are furnished except for bedding and linen.

An effort is made to coordinate and correlate contributions to this service on the part of all members of the teaching and administrative stall of the school, each one in his special field. Through all, the primary aim sought is the welfare of the individual student. Employment Service Especially during later years a large number of college students have found it necessary to secure part’time employment while carr rying on their studies. The Augsburg Employment Service was organized to help meet this need, and has been successful in placr ing hundreds of men and women students in part’time positions. Many Ivfinneapolis institutions and firms have gladly cooperated in this enterprise. The types of work secured are of many kinds, including restaurant work, house positions, sales work, clerical work, switchboard operating, janitor service, and so on. N Y A and Campus Employment As far as possible student assistance is utilized for the various types of service needed on the campus. These positions are re— served for upper’class students who have maintained a good scholastic average. For the past few years grants from the National Youth Ad ministration, given to worthy students in return for service renr dered in selected fields, have enabled a large number of young people to go to college who otherwise could not have continued their education. These assignments, open to all students, are also conditioned upon the maintenance of a good scholastic standing. Application is made upon a regular form which may be secured from the Registrar's Ofice. Student Aid Funds A limited amount of money is available in the Student Aid Fund for shortvterm loans to needy students. The Augsburg Faculty Women's Club has recently established a Loan Fund, intended especially to assist members of the Senior Class. Show less

This organization directs all the extracurricular activities of special interest to the women students. Religious In order to aid one another to see “all things through the eyes of Christ" and to effectively realize the spiritual purposes inherent in the Christian faith, the students of the College and Seminary have banded together in a number of organizations. The Concordia Society is made up of the students in the Semi» nary. To those interested in missions the Mission Group with its Sunday morning meetings is a rallying point. A Men’s Gospel Quartette represents the school in many places, especially during the summer. Other musical groups having a religious purpose are also developed each year. All students may find inspiration in the Midweek Meeting and other regular meetings for prayer and fellowship. The Religious Emphasis Weeks and the Annual Mission Festival are outstanding religious events of each school year. The Students Society is affiliated with the Lutheran Student Association of America and Augsburg students participate in the various regional and national activities of this larger fellowship.
