Appointment of New Fellows 
On another page of the Review appears 
an announcement of twenty travelling schol¬ 
arships for 1922-1923 to be awarded to Amer¬ 
ican students. This will be the fourth year 
of the Foundation’s enlarged exchange of stu¬ 
dents with Sweden, and the third year of the 
exchanges with Denmark and Norway. In 
the summers of 1919 and 1920, pledg.es to the 
amount of more than $200,000 were given to 
the Foundation or turned over to the sister 
organizations in Denmark, Norway, and Swe¬ 
den. By a series of annual payments the 
signers of these pledges undertook to main¬ 
tain for five years an exchange of students 
between Scandinavian and American univer¬ 
sities and colleges, twenty students being des¬ 
ignated as Fellows on each side. 
Each year, competition for these scholar¬ 
ships has been tense. In America there have 
been ten applicants for each appointment; 
and in Sweden there are 140 applicants for 
the ten stipends for study in America during 
the year 1922-1923. 
Sverige-Amerika-Stiftelsen 
Professor Martin Lamm has been appoint¬ 
ed to take the place left vacant by the death 
of Professor Montelius as an expert on the 
committee for awarding the American Ex¬ 
change Fellowships. The applications for 
Fellowships to study in the United States in 
the academic year 1922-23 number 140, which 
is 60 more than last year. 
A meeting of the Stiftelse, presided over by 
Professor Arrhenius, was held November 22 
at the Grand Hotel Stockholm. Among those 
present were Prime Minister Branting and 
American Consul-General Murphy. These 
pleasant meetings are in part social, but the 
first hour of the evening is generally devoted 
to a lecture in English on some American sub¬ 
ject. On this occasion Valdemar Ekvall, who 
studied business efficiency as Swedish Ex¬ 
change Fellow for 1921-22, lectured on “La¬ 
bor and Production.” Afterwards there was 
dancing. 
A small collection of modern American 
books, donated chiefly through the efforts of 
our New York office, is to be found in the 
quarters of Sverige-Amerika-Stiftelsen at 
Malmtorgsgatan 5, and is loaned to members 
of the Stiftelse free of charge, to other re¬ 
sponsible persons upon payment of a small 
weekly fee. 
Students’ Tour 
Information on any matters connected with 
the Students’ Tour to the Scandinavian coun¬ 
tries during July and August, 1922, will be 
furnished by Mr. Irwin Smith, Director of the 
International Students’ Tours, 30 East Forty- 
second Street, New York City. An eight-page 
bulletin describing the organization, purpose, 
itinerary, and conditions of the tour has been 
prepared and will be mailed to all persons 
directing their requests to the Foundation or 
to Mr. Smith. The plans for this tour, to 
which the endorsement of the Foundation has 
been given, have been outlined in the Yule 
and January Numbers of the Review. 
Guidance and instruction throughout the 
tour will be carefully planned. On ship¬ 
board there will be lectures on the history, 
art, culture, and industry of the Scandina¬ 
vian countries. During the trip on land, the 
group will constantly be under able interpre¬ 
tative leadership, and under the occasional in¬ 
struction of some of the most distinguished
