Dr. Martin Luther College believesthat all education, if it is to be really beneficial to the individual, to the Church, and to the community, must make the human soul conscious of its sinful nature and inspire it with livingfaith in Jesus Christ, the Savior. Dr. Martin Luther College is persuaded that only such education enables man to face life's problems wisely and to appear before his God confidently and eagerly. Dr. Martin Luther College knows that the Holy Spirit alone can so educate and that He works only through the divine, verbally inspired Scriptures.

HISTORY Minnesota Synod Although Dr. Martin Luther College is now owned and operated by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, the actual founder was the Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Minnesota and other States. At its 1883 convention the Minnesota Synod resolved to establish an educational institution for the purpose of supplying ministers of the Gospel to its congregations and mission fields. Besides the ministerial course, other courses were to be included in the curriculum of the institution. Through the zeal of the Rev. C. J. Albrecht, the pastor of St. Paul's congregation in New Ulm and also the president of the synod, the new college was located in New Ulm and was ready for dedication and occupancy in the fall of 1884. Wisconsin Synod The second phase of the school's history began eight years later. In 1892 the Minnesota Synod entered into a close federation with the like-minded Wisconsin and Michigan Synods for a more effective stewardship of resources. At that time Dr. Martin Luther College became the teacher training institution for the newly formed joint synod, a function it has fulfilled without interruption to the present time. After the Nebraska District Synod had become the fourth member of the joint synod in 1904, the federation developed into an organic union by 1917. This union, then known as the Evangelical Lutheran Joint Synod of Wisconsin and other States, later, in 1959, assumed the name of The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. At the time of the federated merger, a three-year preparatory curriculum was adopted together with a two-year college course, both of which were open to male students only. In 1896, however, the need for women teachers caused the school to become co-educational. In 1919 the preparatory department was expanded to a four-year high school while the two-year college curriculum was retained with the hope of expansion to a four-year college as soon as possible. The first of two steps in expansion became a reality with the graduation of the first three-year class, the class of 1931. The completion of the expansion was thwarted to such a degree by the effects of the great depression and by World War II that the addition of the fourth year was not accomplished until 1950, with the first four-year class graduating in 1954. As a result of a synodical resolution in 1962 the separation of the high school from the college, each under its own administration, was effected although both schools continue to use the same facilities as heretofore.

Dr. Martin Luther College is now a four-year teacher training college which grants the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education with transfer recognition by the University of Minnesota.
PRINCIPLES
AND PURPOSES
Principles Dr. Martin Luther College, the four-year teacher-education institution of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, exists in fulfIllment of pedagogical principles based on the Word of God. These declare that education is inseparable from religion. They demonstrate that all knowledge in all areas of human thought and endeavor is worthy of inquiry when viewed in the light of human sin and divine grace. They assert that such evaluation of all things is granted alone through the God-revealed Wisdom of the Bible, the God-man Jesus Christ. They affirm that education, a basic function of the Christian home, is also a concern of the church, namely, to equip the entire person in mind, body, and spirit for time and for eternity. Purpose Dr. Martin Luther College, in the eighty-seven years of its existence has witnessed many changes in personnel, plant, and facilities. Yet amid the numerous changes one aspect has remained unchanged: the purpose for the college's existence. Its one function still is to serve the church, specifically the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. It does this by educating men and women exclusively for the teaching ministry in keeping with its expressed philosophy, principles, and purposes. Hence its students are specially prepared for the ministry of the Word in the Christian day schools of the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Objectives 1. To be properly qualified requires, first of all, a consecrated spirit of love to Christ and the fellowman which is gained alone through searching the Scriptures, the faithful record of God's will to save all men. 2. In addition, there must be academic competence drawn from a learning exp~rience.sufficiently broad and deep for acquiring the attitudes and skills that will meet the high standards of Christian education and Christ~ responsibility to society. This includes familiarity and facility with the techniques and tools of teaching. 3. There should also be willingness to render assistance in the worship program of the congregation. Our Lutheran heritage of music in the service of
-12-
Christian faith emphasizes the need for developing an ability to play and conduct appropriate church music. In carrying out these objectives, Dr. Martin Luther College seeks to provide a Christ-centered school atmosphere for spiritual growth. Every academic subject is taught from a background of conviction for Christian truth. The total school experience of the student is guided by the Word of God. Teaching com-
petence is sought through a curriculum which undergirds the courses in professional methods, student teaching, and applied music with a strong program of study in literature, science, and the arts. Indispensable to the entire teaching and learning experience at Dr. Martin Luther College is a thorough foundation in Holy Scripture, in history, and in the heritage of the man of God from whom Dr. Martin Luther College takes its name. All students are committed to intensive study of the Bible as the only source and norm of absolute truth. From the divine portrayal of sin and grace in Holy Scripture, from the record of God's continued manifestation of wisdom and love throughout history, and from the theological and liturgical treasures inherited from Martin Luther, students are led to the proper evaluation of human achievement and human failure by which their educational endeavors can contribute most to the glory of God and the welfare of the individual and the community, the Church and the world.
Function
Consistent with its principles and purpose, Dr. Martin Luther College endeavors to serve the educational needs of the constituency operating and maintaining it. To this end, its scholastic program, though unified in purpose, is fourfold in structure. Its regular sessions offer a four-year teacher education course enabling graduates, with full synodical certification, to teach in the Christian day schools of the WisconSinEvangelical Lutheran Synod. By means of annual summer sessions it affords opportunity to work toward gaining the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education as well as to continue studies after graduation. The synodical certification program offers those who have only the required academic background an opportunity to take the religion courses required for gainingthe status of a certified teacher in the Synod. The summer school curriculum is always arranged with this in mind. It is primarily in the interest of synodical certification that a fourth program, a correspondence study program, has been developed and is being expanded. Dr. Martin Luther College is likewise aware of the current trends in the field of elementary education and particularly of the. increased emphasis in certain disciplines. These factors, together with the conviction that a curriculum per-13-
mitting concentration in certain areas is beneficial for graduates, have occasioned the revision of the curriculum currently under way. Other programs are also under study so that the college may continue to exercise the kind of educational leadership the Synod has every right to expect of it.
ORGANIZATION Administrative Organization
Dr. Martin Luther College is owned, operated, and maintained by the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod. This church body has its headquarters at 3512 West North Avenue, Milwaukee, Wisconsin 53208. The administration of the college is vested in a board of control elected by the Synod in convention. This board consists of three pastors, two male teachers, and two laymen. Briefly stated, the Board of Control is responsible for the calling of faculty personnel; for decisions regardingmajor curriculum revisions;for property acquisitions, building construction, and major maintenance items; and for the establishment of general policies under which the college is to operate. The Board of Control discharges most of its functions in consultation with and through the president of the college who represents the faculty and is directly responsible to the Board and to the Synod. Divisional Organization
Faculty The faculty is primarily concerned with the academic life of the institution and with such policies as are an integral part of campus life in keeping with the college's stated philosophy and principles. Normally the faculty discharges its responsibilitiesin these areas through regularly scheduled meetings. Academic Council The work of the various academic divisionswithin the college is co-ordinaccd through the Academic Council. It is composed of the division heads, the registrar, and the academic dean who is the chairman. This council is responsible to the faculty and its president..

CAMPUS AND LOCATION Location
New Ulm, an attractive and beautifully located¡ city of 14,000 inhabitants, is situated in the south-central section of Minnesota, about 100 miles southwest of Minneapolis-St. Paul. It is accessible by two major highways, US 14 and State 15, and by daily bus service with connections to all parts of the United States at Mankato. Commercial air travel is available from the International Terminal, Minneapolis-St.Paul, with connecting service by bus or charter plane directly to the airport from New Ulm. Campus
The fifty-acre campus with an unusual natural setting lies on a wooded range of hills overlooking the city. It is a veritable park, softening the austere lines generally associated with a complex of institutional buildings. Almost adjoining the campus itself are Hermann Park and expansive Flandrau State Park, which provides excellent facilities for campers. Buildings for Instruction and Administration
The single building of which the college boasted in the years of its infancy is now but one of a complex of structures. Twelve buildings currently grace the campus, with another under construction and a second on the architect's drawing board. Academic Center Erected in 1928 at a cost of $328,000 and remodeled and enlarged in 1968 for twice that sum, the Academic Center is used for classroom, library, and assembly purposes. Its well-appointed auditorium seats 900. In the instructional areas there are fourteen rooms of average size, three double-sized rooms with dividers, two large-tiered lecture rooms, a three-room science suite, and a two-room art unit. -16-
Two areas of the Academic Center provide temporary housing for the library. The main stacks are located on the first floor. Reference works and periodicals are available in the large reading room on the second floor addition.
Old Main The first building on the campus, Old Main, dedicated in 1884, now is the administration center of the campus. The offices of the president, vice-president, academic dean, registrar, dean of students, director of special services, director of student teaching, financial aids officer, recruitment director, and the business offices are in this building. The campus health service has its offices on the second floor. Practice Hall One of the older buildings on campus, the Practice Hall is devoted primarily to practice purposes both on piano and organ. Music Center Built in 1962 at a cost of $450,000 the Music Center provides outstanding facilities for a well-balanced music curriculum necessary to the preparation of qualified students for the teaching ministry.

Luther Memorial Union
First used in 1968 Luther Memorial Union, built at a cost of $1,500,000and made possible through the generous response of the members of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod to the Missio Dei Offering, has become a center of campus activity. This building provides four facilities: cafeteria and kitchen, student union, gymnasium, and a large auditorium. Library An architectural firm has been contracted to draw plans for a new library building which will be constructed at as early a date as possible.
Student Housing
The majority qf the students live in campus dormitories. However, due to the rapid increase in enrollment it has not been possible to provide oncampus housing for all students. The college has arranged for off-campus hous-' ing in private homes, most of which are a convenient distance from the campus. Junior and senior men and women are assigned to these by the Dean of Students. Summit Hall Built in 1911 and enlarged in 1926, Summit Hall is a residence for 180 male students. An extensive renovation of this dormitory is planned for the summer of 1970. Summit Hall Annex A former residence for the Dean of Students, this building is used as a residence for a dozen junior and senior men. West Hall This dormitory, originallybuilt in 1945, was relocated and improved in 1967. At present it provides housing for thirty-four women. CentennialHall A women's residence facility, constructed in 1951 at a cost of $350,000, this structure provides housing for 160 students, some of whom are freshmen in college. This building was made possible out of thank-offering funds raised on the occasion of the Centennial of the WisconsinEv. Lutheran Synod. -18-
Hillview Hall
This women's residence hall was constructed in 1964 at a cost of $820,000. It provides the most modem of facilities for 220 women. New Dormitory
Construction for this new women's residence hall was begun in January, 1970. In construction design it will be similar to Hillview Hall. A common lobby will be shared with Hillview. Accommodations for 228 students will be available when it is finished. Waldheim
The two-story house serves a dual purpose. It provides a home for a faculty member's family on the first floor and a comfortable home for ten women on the second floor. Duplex - South Washington
This two-apartment residence is a homey and comfortable living place for twenty senior women. Hillcrest Hall
At the end of the 1969-1970 schoolyears,Hillcrest Hall, the campus home of many coeds for fifty years will be removed or razed. This is necessary because of campus building plans and the renovation of Center Street by the City of New Ulm.

ADMISSIONS Policy
In keeping with its primary purpose it is obvious tha~ Dr. Martin Luther College must consider qualified applicants on the basis of a preferential sequence: 1. those who are members of the church body which governsthe collegeand who intend to prepare for its teaching ministry; 2. those who are members of other church bodies but who are in agreement with the scriptural position of the WisconsinEv. Lutheran Synod and intend to enter its teaching ministry; 3. those who are members of the governing church body but who do not intend to prepare for its teaching ministry; 4. members of congregations who are in fellowship with the governingchurch body. Agreement
Since the WisconsinEv. Lutheran Synod underwrites a substantial portion of the educational costs for its divinity students, discontinuance of studies or failure of the graduates to accept assignment in one of its schools results in considerable loss to the church. For this reason the Board of Control requires all divinity students at the time of admission to agree that: 1. they will not discontinue their studies at Dr. Martin Luther Collegeexcept by the advice, or with the consent, of the faculty; 2. they will as graduates submit to the decision of the Assignment Committee of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod and assume their calling into the church wherever assigned. Still in effect is the promise of students enrolled before September, 1969, to be responsible for applicable tuition if they should discontinue their studies, or if after graduation they elect not to accept assignment, or if they disqualify themselvesfor assignment. Procedures
Prospective freshmen, transfer students, or foreign students may secure application blanks by writing the Admissions Office of the college. All entering college freshmen are required to have written the test of the American College Testing Program, commonly called the ACT test. Information about this test is normally given to all high school seniors through their school officials. Generally these tests are administered at convenient centers in October, December, February, and May. -21-
When an application is submitted, arrangements should be made to supply a transcript of the credits earned in high school and, in the case of transfer students, also a transcript of their college credits. When an application is received, a form will be sent to the applicant's pastor for completion. This completed form together with the transcript of credits and usually the results of the ACT test is the basis for decision by the Admissions Committee. Prior to the opening of the academic year successfulapplicants will be mailed a physical health form as well as all necessary information. The physical health form is to be completed and returned to the administration office at least ten days prior to the assigned day of registration.
Married Students
Applications from married students are considered only in cases where the applicant has determined later in life to prepare for full-time service in the church. Such applications are considered only as exceptions. Aside from the foregoing, married students are not accepted. This policy is waived during the summer sessions. Registration
All students are expected to register at the time stipulated. Late registrants will be assessed five dollars. Under no circumstances will students be permitted to register later than three weeks after the beginning of a semester. The college reservesthe right to determine the validity of such late registrations. Classification
All students enrolled in courses preparatory to full-time servicein the church are classified as divinity students. This is the case because upon completion of the prescribed curriculum all qualified graduates are presented to the church for a divine call. ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS High School Graduates
A cumulative grade average not lower than C-minus must have been earned in high School. Ten or more credits must have been earned in the following fields that are of special importance in teacher education: English, social studies, science, and mathematics.

Transfer Students
Doctor Martin Luther College welcomes transfer students meeting the general requirements. It grants all transferred credits of C quality or better the grade point value of 1.000 on a three-point scale. Credits of D quality are given only a provisional acceptance. They can be validated by a year of residence work with a cumulative grade point average of 1.000 or better.

Refunding Policy - Student Withdrawal
When a student voluntarily withdraws from school, he is subject to the following policy: In each semester: If withdrawal occurs within 2 weeks, 80% is refunded. If withdrawal occurs within 4 weeks, 60% is refunded. If withdrawal occurs within 6 weeks, 40% is refunded. If withdrawal occurs within 8 weeks, 20% is refunded. If withdrawal occurs after 8 weeks, there is no refund. This policy applies on a semester basis to board and room, the education fee, and tuition. None of the incidental fees will be refunded in case of withdrawal. Financial Regulations
At least one half of all board and tuition accounts are to be paid at the beginning of the first semester, the balance at the beginning of the second semester. All fees must be paid in their entirety at the time of registration. No transfer of credits will be issued and no registration for a new school year will be enacted until standing accounts are paid in full. No June reports will be sent until the accounts for the school year concluded have been paid or satisfactory arrangements have been made. There is a charge of $1.00 for all transcripts of credits except the first, which is supplied gratis. -24-
The charge for room and board may be revised by the Board of Trustees of the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod prior to the beginning of a new school year as changing economic conditions may demand. The general fee is subject to review by the Synod in each of its biennial conventions. Previous waivers of the $300.00 tuition charge in effect for students who enrolled before September, 1969, are conditioned by the "agreement" statement on page 21. Information on financial aids for students is found on pages 35-38 of this catalog.
GRADING SYSTEMAND GRADE POINTS Grade Point Average A grade point system is used as a convenient method of determining whether a student has done work of C average. In our system the semester hour is defined as one class period of fifty minutes per week for one semester. A student's average is expressed by the ratio between the number of semester hours taken and the number of grade points earned. This ratio is determined by dividing the total number of grade points earned by the total number of semester hours taken. A minimum ratio of 1.000 is required for graduation.

Regulations for the Grading System A student who has received a grade that does not qualify him for credits or grade points may earn them by repeating the course and achieving a qualifying grade. The temporary grade I (Incomplete) is granted when a student doing otherwise acceptable work is unable to complete the course assignments for reasons deemed cogent by the instructor. A first-semester Incomplete must be converted into a permanent grade by the end of the second semester, and a secondsemester Incomplete by the end of summer school, or the permanent grade is recorded as an F.
SCHOLASTIC STANDARDS Chart for Academic Classifications Academic classifications are computed on a semester basis and determined by the grade point average earned in the semester just completed. The goal is the classification of student in good standing. Other ratings jeopardize the student's stay at the school. However, these semester classifications in no way change or abrogate any graduation requirements.

Regulations Regarding Academic Classifications A student on either regular or strict probation must become a student in good standing by the end of the next semester of residence. If he fails to gain
this status, he will, except in rare instances, be asked to withdraw. Application for readmittance will be considered only after a lapse of two semesters. The course load of freshmen and sophomores on either regular or strict probation and of juniors and seniors on strict probation will be automatically reduced by one course of three or more credits to aid the student in acquiring good standing. Consultation between the student involved and his advisor and the advice of the registrar will determine the course to be dropped. A student with a strict probation classification will be ineligiblefor participation in interscholastic activities, public productions and presentations of any college sanctioned organization, and will be denied automobile privileges. He may have his other activities curtailed at the discretion of the faculty. Credits and grade points earned in residence during a summer session are added to those earned during the last semester of the student's attendance. They may apply toward the removal of an academic probation status. Only such undergraduates as have the status of student in good standing and a cumulative grade point average of 1.000 will be approved for emergency or substitute teaching.

Student Services Student Activities
GENERAL POLICIES The Word of God
Student life is to be Christian life-an outward expression of inward, Spirit. worked faith in Christ. Because such faith needs continual nourishment, life at Dr. Martin Luther College is centered in the Word of God. Students attend divine services at St. John's or St. Paul's Lutheran Churches, the Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod churches in New Ulm. These congregations also invite the students to commune regularly at their altars. Each weekday at the college includes two chapel services. These devotions are designed to focus the light of the Word on student life and on the student's future vocation, as well as to meet his over-allspiritual needs. Conduct
A maturing Christian who is preparing for full-time work in his Savior's Church is expected to exercise an increasing degree of self-discipline and sound judgment. Hence it should not be necessary to surround him with a multitude of rules and regulations. Nevertheless, fruitful preparation for service in the Church requires the proper environment which develops from following certain fundamental policies and procedures. These policies and procedures are summarized in the student handbook. The Dean of Students, together with his assistants, concerns himself with campus life and activity so that they are consistent with a Christian profession. His office exists as well to be of service to the individual student. Housing
Except for those students whose home is in New Ulm, all housing is under college supervision. Since the dormitories are not large enough to house all students requiring resident accommodations, the college arranges for some off¡ campus housing. Students thus assigned pay the identical board and room fee to the college as those in the dormitories and are expected to conform to the same general rules. Personal Belongings
A bed and mattress is provided by the college. Besides personal effects, the student provides a mattress pad, pillow, blankets, and a bed spread. Students will also provide a desk lamp unless they are assigned to HillviewHall. Linen service is provided and required of all incoming freshmen and is available to all other students at a cost of $32 for the entire school year payable in full at the time of registration. Each student receiving the linen service will be furnished -31-

Returning students not using the linen service will furnish and launder their own sheets, pillow cases, and towels. Laundry facilities are available on the campus. In addition to this, school supplies may be purchased in the college book store. The college also operates a bank system for the students' convenience. Automobiles
Use of automobiles by resident students is permitted under certain circumstances. Permission to operate automobiles is to be requested from the Dean of Students at least two weeks before the automobile is brought to the campus. Automobile privileges are denied students on either disciplinary or academic strict probation. Permission to have an automobile entails payment of each semester's school expenses in advance, a ten-dollar registration fee, and proof of adequate insurance coverage, including coverage for passengers. Juniors and seniors are permitted local use of their cars for reasonable cause. Freshmen and sophomores will be permitted the use of their automobiles only for vacation and weekend trips home or for family emergency. No local use of automobiles is permitted for freshmen and sophomores. Additional information regarding the ownership and operation of automobiles while in school attendance is available upon request.
STUDENT SERVICES Orientation
An orientation program is conducted during the first days of each new school year and is continued at regular intervals during the first semester. The purpose of the program is to give information about student life and student responsibilities at Dr. Martin Luther College. All members of the freshman classand all new students in other classesparticipate in this program. Counseling
Each student has assigned to him a faculty member who acts as his advisor. The advisor assists him 'in selecting his area of concentration and course electives. The student is encouraged to consult with his advisor about his academic work and problems. Personal problems may also be discussedwith the advisor, as well as with the Dean of Students and his assistants. For counseling in spiritual matters, students are asked to consult with the Dean of Students, who is the pastoral counselor for the student body. -34-
In order to maintain close ties with the home, grade reports are sent to parents or guardians at the end of each semester. In addition the college provides mid-semester evaluations of freshmen. These mid-semester freshmen evaluations are designed primarily to indicate adjustment to college life and are sent to parents or guardians and to the pastors of the students. Health Services Each student's health history, which he is required to send following his acceptance, is on file. At the time of registration, he pays a medical fee which is used to cover authorized medical bills. This includes medical coverage for those who engage in any sports or in any on- or off-campus activities having faculty sanction. Normally the maximum payment is $100. For extended coverage, the college offers a voluntary group health insurance program with Blue Cross. A registered nurse, engaged by the college, is on duty daily. Dramatics, Concerts, and Lectures The academic community of the college presents cultural, educational, and recreational events during the school year. Dramatics include operettas, dramas, serious one-act plays, and children's theater productions. Numerous musical events take place on the campus during the year: recitals by staff members, solo performances by advanced students in organ and piano, and concerts by the several choral and band organizations. From time to time outstanding artists perform at the college. In addition to frequent displays by various academic departments, the college sponsors an annual lyceum series, representing various fields of interest. The City of New DIm offers the Community Concert Series annually at special rates to students. Mankato State College, Gustavus College, and colleges in the Twin Cities, the University of Minnesota, the Minnesota Symphony, the Walker Art Center, the Tyrone Guthrie Theater, and the annual visit of the Metropolitan Opera Company offer excellent cultural opportunities of which students may avail themselves. Financial Aids Dr. Martin Luther College is vitally concerned wi~h the financial problems of its students and their families. It is well aware of the fact that the rising
costs of education have placed a strain on many family budgets. Like most colleges, Dr. Martin Luther College believes that the primary responsibility for financing a college education rests upon the student and his family even though the Synod continuea to subsidize each student who is preparing for work in the Church. In these times of rising costs it is also apparent that other means of financial -35-
Enjoyable relaxation at the game
assistance to students must be found. Recognizing this need, the college has established a Student Aids Office and appointed a faculty member as Financial Aids Officer to administer this phase of student life. Financial aids are made available to students who, without such help, would be unable to attend college. The aids consist of scholarships, grants-in-aid, loans, and work opportunities which may be offered to the student. Eligibility for assistance is based on need and on academic promise. Need may be defined as the difference between the total cost of attendance and the amount which the student and his family should be able to provide. Scholarships
The scholarships awarded by the college represent a recognition of ability and promise. These awards are made only to such as have demonstrated excellence in scholastic achievement through at least one semester's membership in the campus family. In granting this assistance, the faculty deems citizenship a factor which dare not be omitted from consideration. The student does not apply for a scholarship but is selected by the faculty on the basis of his achievement. Grants-in-A id
The other parts of the assistance program are more closely related to the student's need. Students experiencing difficulty in financing their schooling may receive assistance by means of grants-in-aid. To become eligible the students must make application for such assistance with the Financial Aids Officer. Application forms may be secured from the Student Aids Office. To aid in determining financial need, the school utilizes the assistance of the American -36-
College Testing Service. The ACT will perform a need analysis for the college for each applicant. The application forms, known as the ACT Family Financial Statement, are available to incoming freshmen at their high schools through the principal or guidance counselor. For students already enrolled, the forms may be obtained from the Financial Aids Officer of the college.
All scholarships and other awards are made on a year to year basis. With the exception of scholarships, renewal is based on need,academic achievement, and funds available. Awards may be continued, increased, or decreased according to conditions existing at the time applications for renewal are processed. Renewal applications must be filed with the Financial Aids Officer each year. Student Employment The Student Aids Office also serves the student as an employment office. Any student desiring part-time employment for covering educational expenditures may register with the Financial Aids Officer. To aid the office in keeping an up-to-date register of all possible places of employment, students who secure employment on their own must also register with the office. A maximum of sixteen hours of work per week, unless otherwise specified, is permitted. In the interest of the student on strict probation, the privilegeof holding a position of regular employment will be subject to periodic review. FederalAids The college participates in the NationalDefense Student Loan Program. This is a fund established for the purpose of making long-term, low-interest loans to students in need of financial assistance to pursue their education. Another of the government programs utilized by the college is the "offcampus" category of the College Work Study Program. This program provides for the expansion of part-time employment opportunities for students with local non-profit organizations. Again eligibility is based upon the student's need of the income from such employment to pursue a college education. Synod Loan Program The Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod has instituted a student loan program to aid students in fmancial need. This program enables a student to borrow an amount not to exceed the refundable portion of the General Education Fee for that year. Besides the above mentioned college sponsored means of financial assistance, the student may be able to secure such aid from other sources. One of these is the Federally Insured Student Loan Program. Under this program the student borrows from his local bank or other lending agency, and the loan is insured by federal funds. Still other sources may be in the state of residency of the stu-37-

STUDENT ACTIVITIES In addition to the activities demanded by the variouscourses, participation in various extra-curricular activities renders possible for all students an interesting and pleasant school life. All activities and organizations are directly or indirectly under the supervision of the faculty and its Student Service Council.
Collegiate Council The Collegiate Council exists to provide opportunity for self-expression, for exercise of initiative, and for the development of a sense of responsibility toward the general welfare of the school. . Regular meetings are held in which the responsibility for planning the regular student activities receives prominent recognition on the agenda. Student Union Sociability and entertainment keynote the Student Union. The Joust-a-bout (a game room), lounges, offices for student organizations, the Round Table (a snack shop), and a post office are housed in this new facility. A Student Union Board sponsors recreational activities in the union and governs its general operations. Student Organizations Music activities are many and varied. The Marluts and Aeolians are singing groups for men and women respectively. These groups, under student direction, concentrate on secular music, supplementing the curricular choral program. The band program includes the Pep Band, Marching Band, and the Concert Band Ensemble. The newly remodeled auditorium provides excellent facilities for theatrical productions. Plays and musicals are staged by the Drama Club. The Children's Theater, which gears its programs to an elementary school audience, is an organization whose objectives are especially relevant for prospective teachers. Membership in the Debate Club furnishes experience in public speaking. This student organization engages in interscholastic debate in the Twin Cities Debate League. Representing the school through its publications is the privilege of those working on the D.M.L.C. Messenger, the college paper. Journalistic skills of another kind are developed by working on the Excelsior, the college annual which by word and picture recalls the highlights of the year. The Art Club, Camera Club, Chess Club, Creative Writing Club, Pep Club, Ski Club, Stamp Club, and "L" Club for lettermen have been organized for those with these special interests. -39-
Athletics
Athletic competition for both men and women is offered on an intramural and an interscholastic basis. Intramurals are offered in such activities as basketball, softball, volleyball, badminton, tennis, free-throwing, horseshoes, shuffleboard, archery. At present, men's interscholastic competition is carried on in soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, and golf. Women compete interscholastically in volleyball and basketball. The college holds membership in the Southern Minnesota Soccer Conference and in the Minnesota River Athletic Conference. Plans are underway to incorporate college football in the athletic program in the near future.

CURRICULA
Bas;c Curriculum Typical Program Course Descriptions SPECIAL SERVICES Certification Summer School Correspondence Study
REGU LAR SESSIONS Basic Curriculum Since Dr. Martin Luther College is maintained for the purpose of training ministers of religion to serve as teachers in the WiscoJ1.SinEvangelical Lutheran Synod, it offers one basic curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. A new curriculum, outlined on pages 4245 was instituted beginning with the freshman class of 1968路69. The first two years of this program provide t~e student with a broad general education with the final two years adding to general education but also including specialization in the field of education and a concentration in one academic area. The areas of concentration from which a student may select one are English, mathematics, music, and social studies. Included within the basic curriculum are music courses so that, as far as gifts and abilities permit, students may in the future serve as organists and choir directors in our Lutheran congregations. The program requirements outlined on the following pages are that of the new curriculum and will be followed by freshmen, sophomores, and juniors during 1970路71. Course descriptions for the new curriculum are on pages 46路56. The descriptions for the senior courses of the old curriculum are on pages 56路58.

SPECIAL SERVICES The Division of Special Servicesoffers programs in addition to those of the regular school year. Amcag these are the Summer School, the Certification Program offered in conjunction with the Summer School, the Correspondence Study Program, workshops and institutes. CERTIFICATION PROGRAM
The Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod practices a system of certification to identify those who possess both the academic and religious training desirable for teachers in its parochial schools. Graduates of Dr. Martin Luther Collegeare automatically certified. To assist those who still have a program of education to complete so that they may achieve certified status, a special certification program has been established in connection with the Summer School. The Correspondence Study Program is also designed to aid in certification. For those who have not graduated from Dr. Martin Luther College,guidelines for achieving certified status have been established by Synod's Board of Education and the Conference of Presidents. "To qualify for listing as a certified high school (or elementary) teacher in the Wisconsin Synod, a male teacher shall have had 1. the equivalent of the academic and religious training of a graduate of Dr. Martin Luther College; or 2. if he is a graduate of a secular college, he shall be held to take at least fifteen semester hours of credit in the fields of religion, education, and social studies, especially church history, as prescribed in the 'Regulations for Certification' adopted by the Conference of Presidents." The same general principle applies to women teachers who have been trained in secular schools, particularly part (2). Additional details regarding the regulations for certification may be obtained by writing the Registrar.

CORRESPONDENCESTUDY PROGRAM
In an effort to better serve the Church and more specifically the members of the WisconsinEvangelicalLutheran Synod, Dr. Martin Luther Collegehas established a correspondence study program. This program is intended to better prepare men and women as teachers in our Christian day schools and high schools and as lay leaders in our congregations. Description
Correspondence courses aid an individual in achieving an educational goal through home study under professional guidance. The correspondence courses offered by Dr. Martin Luther College are prepared and taught by regular members of the faculty who usually teach the same courses on campus. The content, work requirement, and credit offered for courses in the correspondence program are equivalent to the same courses in the regular program of the college. Normally, a three-credit correspondence course is divided into twenty-four lessons, a mid-term and a final examination. A.one and one-half credit correspondence course normally consists of twelve lessons, a mid-term and a final examination. Eligibility
Enrollment into the Correspondence Course Program for credit shall be open to all who would qualify for admission into regular and summer school sessions of Dr. Martin Luther College. Sunday School teachers and laymen are also encouraged to apply even if they are not interested in academic credit. Admission
Application for correspondence study may be made at any time. If the demand for correspondence courses availableshould exceed the manpower available at present, preference will be given to those who are working toward the Synod's certification program. -62-
Cost
The fee for a three-credit correspondence course is $45; the fee for a one and one-half credit course is $25. Other costs for the student include textbooks, materials, and mailing expenses. Further Information
Complete information concerning the Correspondence Study Program may be obtained by addressing your request to the Director of Special Services.
