CONTRIBUTORS TO THE JULY NUMBER 
Meir Goldschmidt’s centenary was celebrated in Denmark in October of 1919; 
his “Henrik and Rosalie’’ was published in 1867. It comes from a series of “Love 
Stories of Many Lands’’ and is one of the characteristic Goldschmidt tales of “that 
which happens and that which seems to happen.” Although emphatically Danish in 
its spirit, the story may remind Americans who read it now for the first time of the 
whimsical, not unphilosophical tales of O. Henry. 
The novels of Johan Bojer are now naturalized Americans and speak English— 
unfortunately one at least, “Dyrendal,” has changed its name. But Bojer’s short 
stories have until now been only visitors to our shores and have spoken only their 
mother tongue. “Skobelef,” translated by the author’s permission for this fiction 
number of the Review is not unlike “Dyrendal.” The stately farm of Dyrendal gave 
dignity of character to a gambler in horses; Skobelef educates an entire parish. It 
is taken from a series of short stories, several of them animal stories, published in 
1920 under the title of Stille Veir. 
Sigfrid Siwertz is one of Sweden’s younger authors, one of those who have 
won their places during or since the war. His novel of 1920, “The Selambs,” easily 
took the lead among Swedish novels of that year and readers of the Review may turn 
back to the November Number for a careful analysis of this psychological history of a 
family. In “Leonard and the Eisherman” is to be found evidence of that sense of 
structure and clear portrayal of mood and persons which are characteristic of Siwertz. 
Dr. Gudrun Friis Holm has told the tales of Hans Christian Andersen to 
many club and school audiences throughout the United States, and especially on the 
Pacific Coast while studying at the University of California. Of the “Two Brothers,” 
one, Hans Christian Orsted, by his discovery of the magnetic action of electric currents 
became the father of the science of electro-magnetism; and the other, Sando Orsted, 
became a distinguished statesman. 
Teresia Euren is author of a popular group of St. Birgitta poems and trans¬ 
lator of French and German lyrics. 
John Finley is Commissioner of Education in New York State and President 
of the University of the State of New York. During the latter part of the war he 
was in Palestine as the head of a relief commission sent out by the Red Cross, and in 
1921 he made an expedition on foot, by ship, train, automobile, and airplane from 
the west coast of Ireland to the edge of Russia, and then returned through Finland and 
Sweden, Germany, Poland, Austria, and Russia. 
Charles Wharton Stork, who has translated the story by Sigfrid Siwertz and 
the poem by Teresia Euren, is known to friends of the Foundation not only for his 
contributions to the Review, but for three volumes in the Series of Scandinavian 
Classics. Sigurd Bernhard Hustvedt, whose study of “Ballad Criticism” was 
published as a Scandinavian Monograph, has been awarded a Fellowship of the 
Foundation for study in Norway. Miss Minna Wreschner has contributed many 
sympathetic translations to the pages of the Review.
