own hands. He resigns, severs connection with both
school and Synod, and moves to Chicago. The
Scandinavian students stand solidly by him; and all leave
the University except one Norwegian and one Dane. A

the Augustana Theological Seminary is founded in
Chicago. [1]

A new and more important period had begun. If
we could follow it a little further we should see the
beginning of a higher education among Swedish
Methodists and Baptists. A little further still, and we should
see Ansgarius College, a Swedish Lutheran institution,
but outside of the ranks of the Augustana Synod, arise
in Illinois. We should further see how this institution,
was connected with the beginning of higher education
among the Swedish-American Mission-Friends. [2]


[1] On the beginnings of the Lutheran work, note
especially Erik Norelius, De svenska lutherska
församlingarnas och svenskarnas historia i Amerika
, particularly
Vol. I; articles in Korsbaneret for 1885, 1886, and 1888;
Minnesskrift med anledning af Augustana-Synodens femtioåriga tillvaro.
[2] Dr. C. G. Wallenius has sketched the main lines of
the later development in his article “Den högre skolverksamheten
bland svenskarne i Amerika,” in the Yearbook
of the Swedish Historical Society of America, 1911—13.
