   MoreAugustana College was originally established in 1860 by the Scandinavian Evangelical Lutheran Augustana Synod, and remained associated with the seminary until 1947. The 1890s saw an influx of Swedish immigrants and the college came to be a safe haven, aiding in the establishment of the Swedish-American community and its unique identity. Today, Augustana College is renown as one of the country's top private liberal arts institutions, and offers a variety of educational programs in the fields of anthropology, biology, business, graphic design, journalism and more. The college campus in Rock Island, IL, lies sprawled over 115 acres (46.5 hectares) of wooded land by the banks of the Mississippi River, studded with beautiful historic buildings, the most notable of which is the late-19th-century Old Main. The campus is also noted as the home of the Fryxell Geology Museum and the Swenson Swedish Immigration Research Center. The college has played an important role in the lives of the early Swedish-Americans and remains to this day a source of much pride not only for its students, but also those who have been associated with it over the years.
