Fellows Appointed for 1922-1923 
When the Fellowship jury of the Founda¬ 
tion met in Boston on April 8, the application 
papers of one hundred and sixty American 
students were submitted to them, and from 
these the jury selected eighteen Exchange 
F ellows and tw r o Special Fellows for study in 
Sweden, Denmark, or Norway. The list of 
successful candidates, giving the home uni¬ 
versity and subject of study of each, is printed 
on another page. Here also are given the 
names of the Swedish, Danish, and Nor¬ 
wegian students to whom have been awarded 
Fellowships for study at American universi¬ 
ties next winter. 
This student movement between the United 
States and the Scandinavian countries stead¬ 
ily becomes more impressive and more im¬ 
portant. In the course of eleven years the 
F oundation has built up an alumni association 
of two hundred and fifty men and women 
students, for whom a year of foreign study 
has been made possible by substantial grants 
from the Foundation. Many of these stu¬ 
dents have made important contributions to 
international scholarship: two of them have 
collaborated in translating a book of Danish 
poems, another has established in Christiania 
a Scandinavian scientific journal, and one 
who studied library methods in America is 
drawing up the preliminary plan for the ad¬ 
ministration of the new city library in Stock¬ 
holm. In making application for a Fellow¬ 
ship of the Foundation, each student must 
prepare a definite plan of study. Among the 
appointees for next year are Dr. Westergaard, 
who will collect from state archives data 
on the history of sea power in the Baltic; 
Olive D. Campbell, who will bring from the 
Danish Folk Fligh Schools principles of edu¬ 
cation to be applied to the schools for moun¬ 
tain whites in the South, and Anders Orbeck, 
translator of Ibsen’s Early Plays, who will 
continue in Norway his study of Norwegian 
drama. 
California Chapter 
“In San Francisco,” writes Ivar Herlitz, 
Fellow for 1920-1921, “I met Mr. Frisell and 
also had the pleasure of addressing the Cali¬ 
fornia Chapter at one of its meetings. I tried 
to point out the benefit to be derived from the 
exchange of students in my own profession. 
. . . I also had an opportunity to attend a 
meeting of the Scandinavian Club at the Uni¬ 
versity of California. I was very glad to see 
the keen interest in the Scandinavian coun¬ 
tries of which this club is evidence, and I was 
impressed b}^ the work done by its members 
toward the establishment of a department at 
the University for the study of the Scandi¬ 
navian countries.” 
Mr. Herlitz is now studying at Stanford 
University with Professor Ryan, one of the 
foremost authorities on electric transmission 
problems. 
Sverige-Amerika Stiftelsen 
Dr. Amandus Johnson, of Philadelphia, 
and Dr. A. G. Brodeur, Fellow for 1921- 
1922, have both addressed recent meetings of 
Sverige-Amerika Stiftelsen. Dr. Johnson’s 
account of the American Indians was received 
with much interest in Stockholm.

tary and now Trustee of the Foundation, 
visited Mexico City in April with Dr. C. S.
