St. Ansgar's Academy, Board of Trusstees (Carver County, Minnesota)
Date Created:
1863 - 1875
Description:
St. Ansgar's Academy was opened in 1863 at East Union, Carver County, Minnesota, where it remained until 1876. It continued a parochial school founded in 1862 at Red Wing by Rev. Eric Norelius and served primarily as a preparatory secondary school for those wishing to enter teaching or the ministry in immigrant Swedish communities and congregations. It was owned and largely controlled by the Minnesota Conference of the Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod, which nominated members of its board of trustees for approval by the Synod, received annual reports from its principal and its board president, provided financial backing, and had a say in its operation. During its thirteen years at East Union, St. Ansgar's Academy was also known variously as Minnesota Elementar Skola, St. Ansgarii Skola, Minnesota Preparatory School, and sometimes simply as "Swede School". In 1876, the school moved to St. Peter, where it was renamed Gustavus Adolphus College. Written mostly in Swedish, with some entries in Norwegian or a mix of the two languages, by various appointed secretaries, the minutes constitute a single bound volume covering the period in Carver County, August 1863 to May 1875, with the exception of 1865, for which no minutes were entered. It opens with the school's Constitution, which had been adopted at the Augustana Synod meeting in Chicago on June 23, 1863. The minutes include committee reports and reports regarding the Bevens Creek Mill, which operated to support the school. Edi Thorstensson, Librarian and Lutheran Church Archivist, Gustavus Adolphus College, transcribed and translated the minutes in July 2006 for the Minnesota Digital Library.
