Faith and Objectives

North Park College and Theological Seminary confesses its faith and objectives as a Christian school as follows. Confession a. We believe in the Holy Scriptures, the Old and New Testa ments, as the Word of God and the only perfect rule for faith, doctrine and conduct. b. We believe in the spiritual realities affirmed in the Apostolic Creed as they are revealed to us in the Word of God and interpreted through the Holy Spirit within the fellowship of the Church. Objectives a. To be a Christian community in action, committed to the will of God as revealed in Jesus Christ. b. To persuade others through the life, work and testimony of our fellowship to accept Christ as Saviour and Lord. c. To develop Christian maturity in the personal relationship to God and the responsibilities of life. d. To discover and clarify the relevance of the Christian faith to learning in order effectively to educate young men and women as witnesses and servants in their various vocations.

CAMPUS North Park College and Theological Seminary is situated in North Park, a residential section in the northwestern part of Chicago. Its proximity to the center of this great metropolis brings within easy reach musical and cultural, commercial and general educational ad vantages of the greatest value. It is readily accessible from all parts of the city, its campus lying between Kedzie and Spaulding Avenues on the great east and west highway of the North Side, Foster Avenue, whose buses make connections with both the North Side and the Ravenswood Elevated Lines and with north and south surface lines. The campus consists of about fourteen acres, beautified by many trees and shrubs and bordering the north branch of the Chicago river. Ample space is provided for the twelve buildings already sit- THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 11 uated upon the campus as well as for the several new buildings contemplated.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The Theological Seminary is organized primarily for the purpose of training ministers and missionaries for service in the churches and mission fields of The Evangelical Mission Covenant Church of America. The first attempts to provide ministerial education among the Mission Friends in America were the Swedish Lutheran Mission Institute in Keokuk, Iowa, 1873-1875, and Ansgar College in Knoxville, Illinois, 1875-1884. The latter school was forced to close in 1884 because of lack of funds. When the Mission Covenant was organized a year later, it was decided to accept the offer of the American Congregationalists to train Covenant ministers in the Swedish Department of Chicago Theological Seminary. By 1891, however, the Covenant had found increasing evidence of the im practicability of having another denomination train its pastors and decided to take over the Skogsbergh school in Minneapolis. The school remained in Minneapolis until 1894 when it was moved to its present site. The policy of the Covenant leaders from the be ginning, has been to relate theological education closely to academic studies. Consequently, the Seminary has remained an integral part of North Park College to the present, although in 1947 it was given its own building. Nyvall Hall, an impressive brick complex holding Isaacson Chapel and the Mellander Library, as well as class rooms and offices, was erected that year at a cost of $300,000. The Seminary has been fortunate throughout its history in the quality of instruction. The first teachers were David Nyvall and Axel Mellander, the former an original personality of large dimen sions who made an unforgettable impression on his students, the latter a methodical and careful scholar, whose work was less cre ative than Nyvall's, but immensely significant nevertheless. During David Nyvall's absence from the campus from 1905 to 1912, his courses were handled by Carl Hanson. With the death of Axel Mellander in 1922, Nils W. Lund assumed the teaching burdens in the Seminary. The present staff has eight members called to full-time duty by the Annual Conference of the Covenant. 12 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

Academic preparation for the ministry has increased considerably since the denomination was founded. Fixed educational require ments for Seminary entrance did not exist in the beginning, but two years of high school became mandatory in 1913. The completion of Junior College was required in 1925, and by denominational de cision, college graduation is required of all students entering the Sem inary after the academic year 1952-53. The Seminary course was extended from two years to three in 1932 and a year of interneship was added in 1935. The Seminary hopes to graduate its first B.D candidates in 1957. The Seminary is recognized as an associate member of the Amer ican Association of Theological Schools. OUR TRADITION The distinctive spirit of the Seminary can be traced through the choices made within the historical Christian tradition, choices re flecting the spiritual experience of the founding fathers in the re vival movements of Northern Europe in the nineteenth century with their subsequent free church development. The Covenant adheres to the affirmations of the reformers re garding the centrality of the Word of God as the only perfect norm for faith, doctrine, and conduct. Although the denomination, em phasizing the sovereignty of the Word over all human interpreta tions, does not bind itself to any creedal position, it has traditionally valued the historic confessions of the church. Within this larger context of classical Christianity it has partic ularly cherished the pietistic restatement of Luther's doctrine of justification by faith as basic to its dual task of evangelism and Christian nurture. It has consequently resisted unrealistic doctrines of sanctification and perseverance. Such traditional rootage, however important for the maintenance of an identity, has not violated the freedom in Christ or the fellow ship with all the saints in the spirit of the text used at the organ izing conference of the church in 1885, "I am a companion of all them that fear Thee, and of them that keep Thy precepts." —Psalm 119:63 The Seminary, as a servant of the denomination, considers the first and deepest human need to be a personal commitment to Christ THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 13

as Saviour and Lord, out of which come both the church and the community of sound learning. The Seminary visualizes its educational task to be the encour agement of: 1. An understanding of the Word of God. 2. The interpretation of life in terms of this Word. 3. The historical approach to the life of the church and its relationship to the world. 4. A devoted and informed skill in Christian service. f" LIBRARY

The Axel Mellander Library is a graduate departmental collection of books in the fields of philosophy, religion, religious biography and ancient history. It now numbers 10,045 volumes, in addition to 733 bound periodicals and 539 pamphlets.

COURSE OF STUDIES Theological Four years including one year of internship are required to com plete the prescribed Seminary course. It should be clearly understood that young men who expect to be ministers and missionaries in Cove nant Churches and mission fields should be trained in our own Sem inary. However, where reasonable considerations dictate otherwise the faculty will give advanced standing by transfer of equivalent credit or by examination. In accordance with general educational practice a year of residence is required for graduation.

Field Work The students in the Theological Seminary shall spend one year of active service in the church as pastors or assistants before they begin their final year of studies in the Seminary. They are called by the churches and salaried by the churches. The purpose of the internship is to help the student understand himself and his academic prepara tion in relationship to the living church and to demonstrate that be can serve the church acceptably. During the year of internship the student is under the supervision of the Dean's office and will submit monthly reports on issued forms. At the conclusion of the year the student shall prepare a 2,500-word paper in free essay style on the subject, "The Evaluation of My Internship." Further evaluations are sought from the superintend ents and church leaders under whom he served. Candidates for mis sionary service are also required to serve as internes. Specific re quests by the Board of Missions for exemptions will be considered by the faculty.

Stu dents should profit from the wide worship experiences which are possible in the city. It is nevertheless recommended that students associate themselves with a Covenant church of their own choice to which they may be loyal.

DAVID NYVALL LECTURES

The David Nyvall Lectures were inaugurated in May, 1951, by the Seminary Forum and the Department of Religious Education Fellowship. The purpose of this guest lectureship is to stimulate greater interest and knowledge in the interpretation of the Christian message for the modern world. In order to achieve this purpose, prominent leaders in the Christian Church are invited to the school THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 27 from time to time. The lectures are published in the Covenant Quarterly. GUEST LECTURERS 1951—Dr. Conrad Bergendoff, President of Augustana College, Rock Island, Il linois: "The Christian Church and Revolution." 1952—Dr. Adolphe Keller, World Traveler and Lecturer, National Conference of Christians and Jews: "The Causes of Misunderstanding Between Europe and America," and "Have We Met Each Other Face to Face?" 1953—Dr. Edmund D.

MUSIC ACTIVITIES There are many opportunities for the student to participate in vocal or instrumental groups. The Seminary Chorus is open to all students who like to sing. During the past year the chorus sang at one Chapel service each month, gave several concerts in Covenant churches in the Chicago area, and participated in the annual campus Music Festival. The College Choir, consisting of about seventy voices, is organ ized on the basis of competitive tryouts. The choir sings regularly at the College Chapel services, gives several local concerts including one at Orchestra Hall, and tours some section of the United States every spring. The Festival Chorus is open to anyone who is interested in sing ing. The chorus presents the "Messiah" during the Christmas sea son and "The Seven Last Words" by DuBois on Palm Sunday. A number of trios and quartets, both vocal and instrumental, are organized each year. They supply special music at many campus meetings and gospel team services in Chicagoland as well as some distant churches. Seminary students may also apply for membership in the male quartet or gospel teams which visit Covenant churches throughout the nation every summer. 28 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

SEMINARY FORUM All students and members of the faculty constitute the Seminary Forum. The purpose of this organization, which meets one evening of each month during the school year, is twofold: to foster a deeper fellowship among the Seminary men, students and faculty alike, and to provide spiritual inspiration and intellectual stimulation. Outstanding guest speakers are invited to speak at several of the meetings each year. At the other meetings various types of programs are given. Especially interesting and rewarding are the panel dis cussions in which various members of the faculty participate. At all meetings time is allowed for an open discussion of the material which has been presented. Uusually the topics presented at the meet ings of the Forum are those which are of general interest to prospec tive ministers but which are not considered or emphasized in class sessions. "SEM WIVES" The wives of the Seminary and pre-Seminary students of North Park met together for the first time on October 22, 1942 in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Nils W. Lund. Since that time this organization has met every month during the school year. The main purpose of this organization is to provide orientation in the life and work of a pastor's wife. The wives of the Seminary faculty are present at these meetings as counselors from the resources of their practical experience. Meetings are held on the third Monday of each month, with a few exceptions, in the Nyvall Hall Lounge, at 8:00 p.m. Special music is furnished by members of the group. Meetings consist of lectures, book reviews, and panel discussions, all presented with an emphasis on the duties of the pastor's wife. In November, 1954, the "Sem Wives" joined the Covenant Wom an's Auxiliary and now participate in the activities of this national fellowship. FUNDS

THE MELLANDER LIBRARY FUND In the will of Professor and Mrs. Axel Mellander the school was the beneficiary in a bequest of $4,900. The income from this fund is to be used for the purchase of books for the seminary library. Pro- THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY 29

fessor Mellander was the first dean of the Theological Seminary at North Park.

THE NILS AND BETTY LARSON SCHOLARSHIP FUND The Nils and Betty Larson Scholarship Fund, a sum of $2,100, has been donated by Mr. and Mrs. Nils G. Larson of Attleboro, Massachusetts, and their estate for the purpose of providing an annual scholarship for a student at North Park Theological Seminary. The fund is invested and the income used for a scholarship. In the se lection of a candidate for the scholarship, preference is to be given to students preparing for the ministry.

STUDENT LOAN FUND This fund has been established by an anonymous donor for sem inary students in temporary financial need. Under regulations ad ministered by the Dean a student may apply for a loan not to exceed $100.00. STUDENT EMPLOYMENT Students desiring to earn a part of their expenses while attending school have unusual opportunities in a great city like Chicago. Every year a large number of the students of North Park secure part-time employment. An employment report must be filed with the Dean at the beginning of the school year and whenever the employment hours may change, in order that a proper balance be maintained be tween the academic load and working hours. HEALTH SERVICE The school nurse may be consulted by the students during her regular office hours in the dispensary located on the first floor of Caroline Hall. The school physician maintains office hours on cam pus. Appointments are on referral by the school nurse. Cases requiring hospitalization will be cared for in the Swedish Covenant Hospital, affiliated with North Park College and Theolog ical Seminary. The cost of such hospitalization is assumed by the student. No charge is made for the services of the school nurse in the in firmary. The student assumes the financial obligation for the pro fessional services of the school physician. 30 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

BOARD AND LODGING Board may be had in Sohlberg Commons at $15°0 per semester. This price is subject to change should conditions require it. Lodging may be had in the residence hall. The rates are $100 per semester. A key and breakage deposit of $2.00 per semester (re fundable) is charged per student. The office of the Dean of Students will assist in finding suitable neighborhood housing, but does not make arrangements in behalf of the students. Costs in the community are higher than in the campus residence hall. HOUSING FOR MARRIED STUDENTS A modest beginning is now being made to provide housing for married students. The housing situation is, however, still difficult and is expected to remain so for some time. For this and other reasons, students are urged to postpone marriage at least until after the first year of residence. If a student desires an exception to this policy he should consult with the Dean.

Department of Religious Education

With the expansion of the Junior College into a four-year Liberal Arts school, a department of Religious Education has been incorpor ated. Thus Religious Education students entering as freshmen in the fall semester of 1956 will be registered in this department. However, until the College grants the baccalaureate degree in 1960 the Sem inary will complete its present commitments to students now en rolled and will confer the Bachelor of Religious Education degree upon those who qualify. In order to meet the need for graduate courses in religious educa tion for future pastors, missionaries, and directors of religious edu cation, a graduate program in this field will be offered by the Theo logical Seminary at a later date. A master's degree will be conferred after two years of graduate work. 32 THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY
