Dr. Martin Luther College believes that 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 living faith 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 WisconsinEvangelical 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. 11
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 WisconsinEvangelicalLutheran Synod, exists in fulfillment of pedagogicalprinciples 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-revealedWisdom 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-eight 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 WisconsinEvangelicalLutheran 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 saveall men. 2. In addition, there must be academic competence drawn from a learning experience sufficiently broad and deep for acquiring the attitudes and skills that will meet the high standards of Christian education and Christian responsibility to society. This includes familiarity and facility with the techniques and tools of teaching. 3. There should also be willingnessto 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 competence 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 Wisconsin Evangelical 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 per13
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.

Luther Memorial Union First used in 1968, Luther Memorial Union, built at a cost of $1,500,000 and 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. The campus post office is also located in this building. Library The new library, built and dedicated in 1971, is a two-level building surrounded by a shallow dry moat with ramps leading to the main entrance on the second level, facing the Academic Center. The lower level holds the stack areas, audio-visual room, curriculum materials library; the upper level contains the reading area, circulation desk, periodical, reference, and reserve sections, lounges, seminar rooms, and committee rooms.

Student Housing The majority of the students live in campus dormitories. However, due to the rapid increase in enrollment, it has not been possible to provide on-campus housing for all students. The college has arranged for off-campus housing 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.

ADMISSIONS Policy
In keeping with its primary purpose it is obvious that 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 Wisconsin Ev. 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 Wisconsin Ev. 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 themselves for 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 successful applicants 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 applicant has determined later in life to prepare for full-time service in church. Such applications are considered only as exceptions. Aside from foregoing, married students are not accepted. This policy is waived during
the the the
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 two 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 service in 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 HighSchool 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.

Student Withdrawal Students who find it necessary to withdraw from the college must report first to the office of the Dean of Students for instructions on procedures. A student who does not follow the official withdrawal procedure, and scops attending classes without authorization, will receive failing grades in all classes for which he is enrolled. Students are not permitted to withdraw officially during the last two weeksof any semester. If a student under 21 applies for withdrawal, the collegewill require authorization, in writing, from his parents.
Refunding Policies When a student voluntarily withdraws from school, charges relative to room and board and general educational fees will be calculated on a per diem basis. This policy applies on a semester basis to room and board, the educational fee, and tuition. However, in addition, a $25.00 severancewill be charged. None of the incidental fees will be refunded in case of withdrawal. Financial Regulations At least one-half of all board and tuition accounts is to be paid at the beginning of each semester, the balance before the close of each semester. If the balance is not paid in full, the student will be required to sign a note with interest charges at the prevailing rates before he is allowed to enroll for another academic year. All fees must be paid in their entirety at the time of registration. 24
No transfer of credits will be issued 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. 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 the
1971-72 catalog.

GRADING SYSTEM AND 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.
A student may be permitted to carry an additional course provided he has a' cumulative grade point average of 2.000 or better and other conditions make it advisable. Such permission is obtained from his faculty adviser and the Registrar. 25

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 other. wise acceptable work is unable to complete the course assignments for reasons deemed cogent by the instructor. A first-semestar Incomplete must be con. verted into a permanent grade by the end of the second semester, and a second. semester 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 ineligible for 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. Credit Hour Load The normal average academic load per semester is as follows: Freshmen - 16lh hours; Sophomores - 181/2 hours; Juniors - 16 to 18 hours; Seniors - 16 hours. A student may be permitted to carry an additional course providing he has a cumulative grade point average of 2.000 or better and other conditions make it advisable. Such permission is obtained by the student from his faculty adviser and the registrar. Exception: A student who is not concentrating in music may obtain approval from his adviser and the Music Division Chairman to elect piano or organ if he has a cumulative grade point average of 1.000 or better.

Student Services Student Activities
GENERAL POLICIES The Word of God
Student life is to be Christian life-an outward expression of inward, Spiritworked 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 WisconsinEv. Lutheran Synod churches in New DIm. 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 S<1 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 DIm, 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 offcampus 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 is available to all students at a cost of $32.50 for the entire school year, payable in fullat the time of registration. Each student r_eceiving the linen service will be furnished fresnry laundered, each week, two sheets, one pillow case, two large bath towels, one small hand towel, and two
31
wash cloths. The college feels that this is the most convenient economical and healthy method of providing the student's linen and towel needs and urges
all resident students to take advantage of it. 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. 32
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 "BlueCross. 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 Ulm 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 with 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 continues 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

assistance to students must be found. Recognizing this need, the college has established a Financial 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. 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-Aid 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 Financial 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 Financial 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, Federal Aids
The college participates in the National Defense 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. Non-College Sources of Aid
Students of Dr. Martin Luther College are eligible for: Federally Insured Student Loans Social Security Educational Benefits Veterans' Administration Programs Bureau of Indian Affairs assistance. Also, the student may be eligible for assistance from the state of which he is a resident through:
37
State Guaranteed Loan Program State Scholarship or Grant-in-Aid Program Vocational Rehabilitation Department Programs. Some business organizations offer scholarships and grants to children of employees. Further information or aid in securing assistance from any of the above sources may be obtained from the Financial Aids Officer. Currently, the following funds provide the monies for the scholarships and grants-in-aid: Synodical Funds Wisconsin Ev. Lutheran Synod Scholarship Fund Wisconsin Ev.

38
STUDENT ACTIVITI ES In addition to the activities demanded by the various courses, 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, MarchingBand, Symphony 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, Junto, 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
REGULAR SESSIONS BasicCurriculum Requirements Course Descriptions SPECIAL SERVICES Certification Summer School CorrespondenceStudy
REGULAR SESSIONS Basic Curriculum Since Dr. Martin Luther College is maintained for the purpose of training ministers of religion to serve as teachers in the Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod, it offers one basic curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science in Education degree. The first two years of this program provide the 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 congregationsof the WisconsinEv. Lutheran Synod.
