- Northwestern College was a secondary school that existed from 1900 to 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. (en)
