8. Lutheran Brethren Church/Seminary - Fergus Falls, MN
(fr http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lutheran_Brethren_Seminary)

- President of LBS, E. M. Broen from 1903-1911, 1914-1926, 1930-1938
- The academic institution that would become known as Lutheran Brethren Seminary was founded in Wahpeton, North Dakota in 1903 as "Lutheran Bible School." It began as an institute for the training of Lutheran Brethren pastors and young laypeople wishing to receive a solid Biblical education.

The school was first relocated in 1918 to Grand Forks, North Dakota [hence the 1920 US Census Record], and then again to Fergus Falls, Minnesota in 1935, on the campus of the former Park Region Luther College. In 1946, the Seminary and Bible School departments moved across town to the former Northwestern College campus in Fergus Falls, leaving the high school to remain by itself on the Park Region campus. The school system was renamed "Lutheran Brethren Schools" in 1948, and the high school became known as "Hillcrest Lutheran Academy." In 1956, after ten years on a separate campus, the Seminary and Bible School returned to the old Park Region campus, reuniting with Hillcrest
