HISTORICAL SKETCH BUILDINGS AT PAXTON Most of us want no more history in an annual than that of the past year. In planning the 1940 ROCKERY-I, the Staff has kept this fact in mind. This volume, composed by students only, is but a record of days of the past year. It is an album of all of us as we lived day by day at Augustana. Nevertheless, it is fitting for us to honor Augustana on her eightieth birthday by relating, to some extent, her progress throughout her eighty years of existence. By comparing a few of these older views with the newer ones, we shall come to a realization of Augustana's marked develop- ment, and we shall appreciate in a greater degree Augustana as we know her today. We cannot give due recognition to the observance of the Eightieth Anniversary, since this is not within the scope of time covered by this yearbook. In 1860 a group of Scandinavian immigrants of the Middle West, hav- ing organized a synod, felt the need of a seminary. Thus the Augustana Theological Seminary came into being. Instruction was given in both Seminary and College subjects. The institution was located in Chicago for three years, classes being held in an old church. In 1863 the school was moved to Paxton, Illinois. Here it consisted of only two buildings, a schoolhouse and a boardinghouse. While the insti- tution was located at Paxton, the enrollment increased from ten to eighty students. There were four professors.
