CONTRIBUTORS TO THE MAY NUMBER 
Villestrup, one of the famous old manors of Denmark, was built by Axel Juul 
in 1540. The magnificent portal is from 1620. 
The gracious and dignified portrait of Dr. Egan reproduced as a frontispiece in 
this number has been sent to the spring exhibition at Charlottenborg and after that 
will be placed in one of the permanent galleries in Denmark. The artist, Ernest L. 
Ipsen, is no stranger to Danish art-lovers. Though born in Massachusetts, of Danish 
parents, he studied at the Royal Academy in Copenhagen under such masters as 
Vermehren, Bache, and Exner, and has exhibited at Charlottenborg. He has, how¬ 
ever, lived and worked for thirty years in American cities, first in Boston and, since 
1910 in New York, where he was made an associate of the National Academy of De¬ 
sign. In 1921 he won the Thomas R. Proctor prize for the best portrait at the Winter 
exhibition of the Academy. 
Christian Rimestad, who has twice before given our readers a survey of current 
Danish literature, has recently been awarded one of the two prizes, each of 1,000 
kroner, given out on Georg Brandes’s eightieth birthday from the Otto Benzon Authors’ 
Foundation. The award was given him in recognition of his sensitive and exquisite 
poems, which have recently been gathered in a large volume, as well as of his 
descriminating criticism of French and of modern Danish literature. 
Matthias Jochumsson, who died in 1920 at the age of eighty-five, was one of 
the most prolific and popular writers in Iceland. In addition to his duties as pastor 
of his church, he found time to write several volumes of poetry as well as to translate 
Shakespeare, Byron, Tegner, Topelius, and Runeberg into Icelandic. Jakobina 
Johnson is most highly praised by Icelandic critics for the fidelity and sympathetic 
quality of her translations. 
Johan Mortensen, instructor in the history of art and literature at the Uni¬ 
versity of Lund, is a regular contributor to the Review. 
Fred L. Holmes is a young Wisconsin writer. He was city editor of the 
Wisconsin State Journal in Madison and afterwards managing editor of La Follette’s 
Magazine. He has published in serial form a history of his state. 
Gilbert P. Chase is lieutenant-commander of the United States Navy, retired, 
and is a resident of Boonton, New Jersey. 
Johan Nordahl-Olsen, representative of the Christiania daily Tidens Tegn 
in western Norway, is the author of numerous historical books and articles dealing 
principally with Holberg and the Bergen of the seventeenth century. Mr. Nordahl- 
Olsen took the initiative in establishing a Holberg room in the Bergen Museum and 
donated to it his collection of five hundred volumes of Holberg literature. 
A STUDENT PILGRIMAGE 
From Kiel to Trondhjem, through the garden lands of Denmark, along Norway’s 
rugged coast; from Trondhjem to Uppsala, Stockholm, and Malmo, through Sweden’s 
forests and along her meandering lakes; and then home through Berlin, Cologne, and 
Paris—that is the course of a tour for students planned for the summer holidays by the 
Foundation and the Institute of International Education. The tour is designed to 
give a comprehensive view of all three countries, to satisfy equally Americans of 
Danish, Norwegian, Swedish, and other extraction. It is a tour for those, not neces¬ 
sarily now in school or college, who would round off a liberal education by travel care¬ 
fully planned, well conducted, and in a congenial group. The number of enrollments 
is limited, and application for reservations must be made immediately.
