  Augustana College papers, 1889-2002

  Biography/History: 

  Augustana College was founded in Chicago in 1860 by Norwegians and Swedish Lutherans. In 1863, Augustana moved to Paxton, Illinois. Eventually, in 1869 the Norwegians withdrew and moved to Marshall, Wisconsin. Divisions among the Norwegians led to several seminaries breaking off, and Augsburg moving to Minneapolis in 1872. The group which stayed at Marshall in turn moved in 1881 to Beloit, Iowa; and three years later to Canton, South Dakota. The 1917 church merger brought a merger of Augustana and the Lutheran Normal School (founded in Sioux Falls, in 1889) and a move to Sioux Falls. The preparatory function was later returned to Canton, merging with Canton Lutheran Normal, founded in 1920. This complicated history is traced in Beulah Folkedahl's article, "Marshall Academy: a history" (Wisconsin Magazine of History, Spring 1964).
