Topic: Georg Sverdrup


  
  The Georg Sverdrup Society
The Georg Sverdrup Society was organized in December 2003 and is open to anyone interested in the life and work of Georg Sverdrup (1848 - 1907), considered as among "the ablest theologians" in the history of Norwegian-American Lutheranism..
A hundred years after his death, it is difficult to assess what the passing of Georg Sverdrup meant for Augsburg College and Seminary as well as for the newly formed Lutheran Free Church.
Coupled with the pain of Sverdrup's death was also the recent death of the much-loved Rev. Ole Paulson, often referred to as "Augsburg's Grandfather." Paulson had been responsible for moving Augsburg Seminary in 1872 from the small, central Wisconsin town of Marshall to Minneapolis.

Georg Sverdrup was not in the forefront of the legal battles and proceedings that centered around Augsburg Seminary in the 1890s.
Sverdrup, it can be argued, thought that Augsburg Seminary had developed a program of theological education that would meet effectively the needs of a free people by producing pastors without the class consciousness that had hindered their work in earlier settings.

Sverdrup felt that the long years in the Arctic and the heavy responsibilities of his work as chief scientist were justified by the firsthand experience he gained in field research and data taking, but seven years away from home would seem to have overdone it.
Sverdrup's contributions to physical oceanography were many and varied, as his publications list indicates, but his major breakthrough in the interpretation of ocean currents was his demonstration that the systematic use of the curl of the vector current greatly simplified the understanding of the movements.
Sverdrup recognized that the curl of the surface wind stress was the primary agent in transferring mechanical energy to the ocean, usually labeled as the wind-induced curl.

Georg Sverdrup (born Jørgen Sverdrup, April 25, 1770 - 1850) was a Norwegian philologist, responsible for building the first Norwegian university library.
The University of Oslo was established in 1811, but due to the Napoleonic War it was not until 1815 that Sverdrup could receive the 50,000 volumes, then in Copenhagen, intended for the new university library.
It took another year for the government to provide adequate housing for the collection, and not until 1828 was the library finally completed, with a total of 90,000 volumes.

 St. Johns Free Lutheran Church - Duluth, Minnesota
Professor Georg Sverdrup and Professor Sven Offedal had a vision and dream of free and living congregations being planted throughout America:
Sverdrup and Offedal's concept was to offer Christians the chance to make a "new beginning" by returning to the New Testament pattern of Christianity.
Sverdrup and Offedal had faith that this merger would be an open and free church, but in practice the church was anything but free.
