* Northwestern College was a secondary school that existed from 1900-1932 in Fergus Falls, Minnesota. The school was built based on a need for a local academy for Scandinavian immigrant children within the greater area. It offered Academic, Normal, Preparatory, Commerce, Music, and Art departments of study, and was funded by the Northwestern College Corporation of the Minnesota Conference (Red River Valley Conference after it was formed in 1912) of the Augustana Synod.〔 Northwestern was one of four small "colleges" (although more like high schools) affiliated with the Augustana Synod in the late 1800s and early 1900s, along with Hope Academy, Minnesota College, and North Star College. These schools aided Scandinavian immigrants with assimilating into American culture. Over 500 students graduated from the school out of the 1500 that had attended, and many students went on to enroll at Gustavus Adolphus College after attending Northwestern. About one fifth of the Academy department graduates entered the Christian ministry. ==Student Life== Northwestern's academic requirements were recognized by the University of Minnesota〔 and students could enter the University without entrance exams after graduating.〔 Each dormitory at Northwestern had a student council, and staff supervised students' studies in the evening. All students were expected to "conduct themselves as Christian young ladies and gentlemen at all times."〔 Although Northwestern did not enroll many students (178 students was the highest number in 1907), students kept active.〔 They participated in two literary societies, Aurora and the Tegnerförbundet, and the latter was directed in Swedish.〔 The students also participated in prayer circles,〔 the Chorus, Band, Orchestra, Mission Study Class, Gladstone debating society, Glee Club, the Athletic Association, and the Handel Oratorio Society.〔 Since Northwestern did not have a gymnasium and no requirements for physical fitness, students rented the gymnasium of a local high school once a week. Students practiced basketball, sometimes had two baseball teams, and played tennis on the school's two tennis courts.〔
