1892-93 - Federation formed

The Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan Synods formed a federation and agreed to train their seminarians together. The Minnesota Synod’s college and seminary in New Ulm became the teacher training college (Dr. Martin Luther College). The Michigan Synod’s college and seminary in Saginaw became a prep school (Michigan Lutheran Seminary). A new seminary building was constructed by the federation in Wauwatosa, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee. These three synods (along with the Nebraska Synod) merged into one synod in 1917.
