Lutheran Ladies' Seminary papers, 1894-1920
Biography/History:
First opened in November 1894 as a finishing school, the Lutheran Ladies’ Seminary in Red Wing, Minnesota became a full fledged college offering a Bachelor of Art Degree. The seminary had a renowned Conservatory of Music that was well known throughout the midwest. The ladies who attended gave the institution a nickname “prestefru fabrikk” – meaning the pastor’s wife factory.
On June 8, 1920, there was a fire that destroyed the schools. Efforts to rebuild were discussed but nothing came to fruition. The last president of the seminary, Pastor Thoralf Hoff, was a leading figure in bringing coeducation to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. The Conservatory’s music director, Carl Youngdahl, moved to Augustana College in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and built a well known program there.
