C. X. Hansen
Christian Hansen (November 8, 1869 - August 15, 1941), commonly known as C. X. Hansen, was an American educator and historian in the Lutheran church. He was integral to the formation of the Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America (the North Church) and the United Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church (United Church).
C. X. Hansen and Peter Sørensen Vig led the United Church to establish an educational system as a fulfilment of one of its top priorities. Elk Horn Højskole in Elk Horn, Iowa, had been founded in 1878 as the first Danish folk school in America. In 1894, Pastor Kristian Anker, then owner and principal of the Elk Horn Højskole, sold it to the newly formed Danish Evangelical Lutheran Church in North America for use as a seminary and college. Dana College in Blair, Nebraska, was begun as a preparatory school. When the North Church merged with the Blair Church in 1896, the seminary was consolidated with Trinity Seminary in Blair, Nebraska.()
==Background and education==
C. X. Hansen was born on a farm near Lyons, Nebraska where he graduated from Lyons High School. The reason he referred to himself as C. X. Hansen was because there were quite a few men in the area named Chris Hansen. So to distinguish himself from the other Chris Hansens, since he was not given a middle name, he put an 'X' for his middle initial and was always referred to as C. X. Hansen.
In the school year 1886-1887, C. X. was a member of the first student body at Trinity Seminary, Blair, Nebraska. Later on, he entered Midland College, Atchison, Kansas, where he graduated in 1897 with a Bachelor of Arts degree. In 1921, he received the honorary degree Doctor of Humane Letters (L.H.D.) from Augustana College, Rock Island, Illinois and in 1937, C. X. received the honorary degree Doctor of Law (L.L.D.) from Midland College.
