The purpose of the College is to create a healthy and dynamic dialogue between the disciplines taught through the academic structure and the Chris­ tian heritage. The College aims to produce graduates who have achieved a sound under­ standing of broad fields of knowledge, comparative mastery of a major field of study, the skills and incentives for continued study, and the capacity for adapt­ ing to new situations and expanding bodies of knowledge. The faculty strives to guide and aid the students in their search for meanings and truths within a curriculum characterized by flexibility and innovation. This faculty is representative of the high quality of educators found within the finest traditions of Lutheran liberal arts colleges. There is an emphasis on acquiring a mature understanding of the Christian faith and pondering the questions related to that which is called the ultimate concern. Through daily chapel, the services of a full-time chaplain, and aware­ ness of our Christian heritage, the College demonstrates its commitment to the Christian way of life. ACCREDITATION Gustavus Ado I phus Colege is accredited by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, The American Chemical Society, The Nation­ al Council for the Accreditation of Teacher Education and the National League for Nursing. The College is a member of the Association of American Colleges, The American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education, the National Association of Schools of Music, and is on the approved list of the American Association of University Women. HISTORY Gustavus is one of the oldest educational institutions in the state. Eric Norelius, an immigrant Swedish Lutheran pastor, founded the College as St. Ansgar's Academy in 1862. After several years in Red Wing, it was moved to East Union and then to St. Peter where it was named Gustavus Adolphus College to honor the Swedish king who defended Protestantism during the Thirty Years War. Originally under the Swedish Lutheran Church in Minnesota, the College was designed to provide pastors and teachers for the Swedish immigrants com­ ing to Minnesota. Until 1962, Gustavus was supported by the Minnesota Con- Digitized and Provided by the College Archives, Gustavus Adolphus College ference of the Augustana Lutheran Church, and aher that, by the Minnesota and Red River Valley Synods of the Lutheran Church in America. Today the College conducts its innovative educational program on a beautiful 250-acre campus. Of its twenty-two major buildings, the majority have been built since 1960. LOCATION St. Peter, Minnesota, is a community of 8,000 about 65 miles southwest of Minneapolis/ St. Paul and 12 miles north of Mankato (pop. 40,000), along the Minnesota River. Surrounded by rich farmland and wooded areas, it is an his­ toric city with parks, businesses, and fine old homes. It has produced five gov­ ernors of the state - nine if former students of the College are included. Rich in Indian and settler lore, St. Peter was the site of the 1851 Treaty of Traverse des Sioux. Programs such as the St. Peter Learning Community, and services such as tutoring at the high school and volunteering at the State Hospital and Head­ start help bring the communities of the College and town together. CAMPUS Gustavus Adolphus College overlooks St. Peter and the Minnesota River Valley from its position on the west bank. Along the crest of the hill with Christ Chap­ el in the center of the campus are residence halls, academic and service build­ ings, recreational facilities, and field laboratories. There are grassy malls and tall shade trees among the buildings and on the hillside. CHRIST CHAPEL: A striking place of worship, Christ Chapel was dedicated on January 7, 1962. Ground was broken on March 2, 1959, with Clement Attlee, former Prime Minister of Great Britain, among leaders of the Church and State gathered for the event. Christ Chapel seats fiheen-hundred people and houses a four-manual, fihy-eight rank Hilgreen-Lane Organ. A continuing program of Chapel enrichment includes a major religious sculpture program depicting the history of the Church. Paul Granlund, Gustavus graduate, Guggenheim Fellow and Gustavus Artist-in-Residence, is commissioned for this project. OLD MAIN: Old Main was constructed in 1876 to house the entire campus including the dormitory, food service, library, and classrooms. Today it pro­ vides facilities for the Departments of Reli gion, Education, and Mathematics, and the offices for the Chaplain and College counselors. THE FOLKE BERNADOTIE MEMORIAL LIBRARY : Completed in 1972, the new Bernadotte Library was designed to facilitate an expanding college curric­ ulum with an increased emphasis upon the audio-visual media. The air-condi­ tioned library currently houses over 133,000 volumes and nearly 20,000 micro­ forms. A computer terminal, five microfilm readers, three microfisch readers, and a microfilm printout machine are available for student use. Princess Chris­ tina of Sweden participated in the dedication of the library wh ich honors Count Folke Bernadotte, a member of Sweden's royal family who was assassi­ nated while serving as the first United Nations Palestinian mediator. Digitized and Provided by the College Archives, Gustavus Adolphus College THE ALFRED NOBEL MEMORIAL HALL OF SCIENCE: This one-hundred fifty room structure provides facilities for the Departments of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Geography, and Physics. Its special features include chambers for radioactive materials, a two-hundred seat auditorium, and provisions for stu­ dent research in individual student laboratories within each department. Oth­ er facilities include a five-section greenhouse with temperature and humidity controls for plant experimentation, a Foucault pendulum, and private re­ search laboratories in each professor's office. Centers of interest include the Nobel Gallery and the huge bas relief sym­ bolizing Man and his pursuit of Truth in the Universe created by the Gustavus Art Department under the direction of Don Gregory. The location on the campus of Gustavus Adolphus College of an American Memorial to Alfred Nobel received not only the official approval of the Board of Directors of the Nobel Foundation, in Stockholm, Sweden, but also provision by the Founda­ tion of important materials from its archives for inclusion in the Nobel Gallery. The dedication of the Nobel Hall of Science was enhanced by the attendance of twenty-six Nobel laureates, the Chairman of the Nobel Foundation Board, and its Executive Director of Stockholm, Sweden.

    GRANLUND — Hennes Art Company http://www.hennesart.com/granlund/ / /// / GRANLUND / / PAUL GRANLUND Hennes Art Company has been hired by the Granlund family to be the exclusive distributor of the remaining sculptures left in the artists collection. There are very few sculptures left. In addition, it was the artists' wish that there would be no additional castings made from the molds posthumously. The photos below represent the pieces currently available. For more information, please contact Greg Hennes. Best-known for his striking bronze sculptures, which merge the human and geometric forms, Paul T. Granlund began his studies as an artist at Gustavus College in St. Peter, Minnesota where he received his BA in 1952. He continued his studies at the University of Minnesota, then at Cranbrook Academy in Michigan, where he received his MFA in 1954. That year, he was also awarded a Fulbright Award to study in Florence, Italy. A Guggenheim award for 1957 and 1958 allowed him to study in Rome. For much of his career, Granlund was based at Gustavus Adolphus College in St. Peter, MN. He built his studio and foundry there, and worked with generations of students as the sculptor-in-residence from 1971-1996. Granlund was widely read and interested math, science, religion, linguistics, music, and sports, and his work reflected the connections he made between these diverse fields. Considering his interests, his studio was well-situated at Gustavus, a liberal-arts college with Swedish and Lutheran 1 of 6 08/02/2017 16:54 GRANLUND — Hennes Art Company http://www.hennesart.com/granlund/ roots and a tradition of hosting an annual Nobel Conference.
