CUSTODIAL HISTORY

According to a letter dated November 3, 1976, the Mauritzson papers were housed in the Lutheran Church of America for “several decades” before the materials relating to Mauritzson’s career as a professor and dean were sent to the Augustana College library in the 1950s. The Lutheran Church of America also returned Mauritzson’s personal books to his family, but how they became part of his papers in Special Collections at Augustana College library is unclear.

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH

Jules Göthe Ultimus Mauritzson was born on July 19, 1868 in Balkåkra, Sweden to Anders Wilhelm and Gustava Lovisa Mauritzson. He attended the Gymnasium in Hällsingborg, Sweden from the fall of 1884 to May 21, 1886, then continued his education in the Philosophy department at Lund University, Lund, Sweden from 1886-1889. In February 1889, Mauritzson enlisted in the Lund infantry. After he served in the military, he attended the Axel Eklund Accounting Institute, Lund, Sweden, beginning on October 21, 1894. During that same year, he was certified as a journeyman bookbinder in the 2nd degree from the Fobriks-Och Handtverks-Föreningen in Ystad, Sweden. He then travelled to Germany, where he attended the Horn and Patzelt Institute for Hand Illumination, Gera, Germany from May 26 to October 4, 1894.

On May 3, 1895, Mauritzson applied for a passport to America. He received permission from the government, and began his trip to Chicago, Illinois on June 8, 1895 at the age of 26. He settled in the city, where he worked as a bookbinder. There, he was befriended by Mrs. Emmy Evald, wife of Dr. Carl A. Evald. Dr. Evald was the pastor of the Immanuel Lutheran Church in Chicago, Illinois, which Mauritzson soon joined. Mauritzson possibly met his future wife, Maria, a Chicago public school teacher, at Immanuel Lutheran. She was confirmed there in 1885, and presumably attended the church. Mauritzson then attended the Augustana Theological Seminary, Rock Island, Illinois. He graduated on June 1, 1899, and married Maria the same year. He was then the pastor for the Augustana church in Kiron, Iowa for two years, from 1899-1900.

In 1901, Mauritzson became the head of the Swedish Language and Literature Department at Augustana College, where he taught courses until his death in 1930. He was given two years leave of absence to study in Sweden, from 1902-1904. Mauritzson studied at several universities, including Lund and Uppsala. He gave many lectures and sermons there, including a series of talks on Swedish-Americans and the history of Chicago. Upon his return to Augustana, he resumed his position as the Swedish department chair. In 1909, he also assumed the responsibilities of enrolling officer. During the next decade he published several books, including textbooks on the Swedish language. He was also the founder and chairman of the Society for the Promotion of Scandinavian studies. On December 9, 1924, he was awarded the Order of the North Star, a Swedish award, for his promotion of the Swedish language and Swedish studies at Augustana College. Mauritzson then became the first dean of the college in 1920. He was also vice president from 1928-30, and assumed the position of acting president while Dr. Gustav Andreen was out of the country raising money for Augustana College. Tragically, on February 7, 1930, Mauritzson was hit by a car on a street corner in Rock Island, Illinois. He died from his injuries later that night. In honor of his work at Augustana College, the Mauritzson Exchange Fellowship was established in order to bring Swedish students to study at Augustana.

Mauritzson had five children with his wife, Maria. Mia and Tyra Mauritzson graduated from Augustana College, and moved to Jamestown, New York to teach high school. Elsa Mauritzson graduated from the Moline Lutheran Hospital, and married Henry Arp, the mayor of Moline, Illinois. The Mauritzson’s only son, Anders B., also attended Augustana College. After graduating, he worked in the Horst & Strieter Co. of Davenport, Iowa. Their youngest daughter, Gunhild, never left home due to an illness.

Jules G.U. Mauritzson’s father, Anders Wilhelm Mauritzson, was born on 26 Aug 1827 in Vinslöv, Sweden. He married Gustava Lovisa Lagerlöf (1833-1881) in 1857. The couple moved to Balkåkra, where Anders W. took the position of rector. During their marriage they had seven children, Jules G.U. being the youngest. Anders W. died in Balkåkra on July 4, 1902.
