HISTORY AND AIM.
Augustana College was, for thirty
years prior to 1890, a school of the
Lutheran Augustana Synod. At this
date it came under the management
of the United Norwegian Lutheran
Church of America, formed by the
union of the Augustana Synod, the
Norwegian Lutheran Conference, and
the smithsonian Brotherhood.
Prior to 1869 it's history is identical
with the Swedish Augustana College
of Rock Island, III. 1t was establish
ed in Chicago, ILL.,, in 1860, moved to
Paxton, ILL.,, in 1868, separated from
the Swedish College and moved to
Marshall, Wis, in 1869, to Beloit, Ia,
in 1881, and to Canton, S. d. in 1884.
Augustana College believes only in
a thoroughly Christian education,
and as a school of the Lutheran
Church, it's aim is to be of the great
est possible service to our many young
men and women who are eagerly seek
ing a preparatory education for some
vocation in life or for further study
at some higher institution Of learn
ing.
LOCATION.
Canton being the center of a strong
ly Norwegian Lutheran community
and otherwise a most desirable place
for a church school, Augustana Col
lege was moved to this place in the
fall of 1884.
Canton is the county seat of Lin
coin county, and n of the most
beautifully located cities in the west.
1t is snugly situated in a bend of the
Big Sioux river opposite the Iowa
bluffs. 1t is justly noted for its many
well-built homes, rejecting an enter
prising, intelligent and temperate
community. 1t has no saloons. The
city is supplied with such modern
conveniences as local and long dis
lance telephone lines, electric lights
and water works and sewerage sys-
tens. It has railroad /. connections
north, east, south and west, being
located at the junction Of the Iowa s.
Dakota division of the G. M. s. ST. p.
r. r. with the Sioux City & Dakota
division of the same railway. Its
population of about 1900 is composed
of a highly moral class of people, and
the city commends itself to those who
are anxious that their sons and
daughters shall be surrounded by
good moral influences when attending
school away from home. The college
site is in the eastern portion of the
city overlooking the Sioux Valley.
BUILDINGS AND EQUIPMENT.
The new college building, or main
building, a cut of which appears in
the catalogue, is a beautiful struc-
ture, built of Sioux Falls granite. 1t
is 1O4 feet long and so feet wide con-
tanning four stories with a basement.
The building is a~rtiicially ventilated,
heated by steam, and lighted through
out by electricity. It is provided
with fire escapes and fire extinguish-
ers, and and every floor supplied with
water from the city water works. 1t
has a complete sewerage system.
The third aud fourth floors OF this |
building are used for boys dormitory

he arrived, I can't go In and push the
