Yale Club in New York, on Saturday, May 6. 
At this spring meeting of the Board the busi¬ 
ness of first importance was the confirmation 
of Fellowship awards made by the Applica¬ 
tions Committee and the Fellowship Jury in 
America, and by the associated bodies in Den¬ 
mark, Norway and Sweden. Professor Will¬ 
iam Hovgaard, Chairman, presented the re¬

the list of Fellows for 1922-1923 as printed 
in the June Number of the Review. It is 
planned to publish within the next year a 
complete list of alumni of the Foundation, a 
catalogue of 250 students who have received

study. 
An American Linnean Committee 
The Swedish Linnean Society has under¬ 
taken to restore to their original glory the 
botanical gardens of Linne and to assemble in 
a museum at Uppsala memorials of his life 
and work. The Society has addressed to the 
Trustees of the Foundation a request for as¬ 
sistance in the enrollment of American mem¬ 
bers. In October a group of American scien¬ 
tists and representatives of garden clubs will 
be called together to consider ways of co¬ 
operating with the Linnean Society. 
In Memoriam 
The following resolution was entered on the 
Minutes of the May meeting of the Board: 
“The Trustees of The American- 
Scandinavian Foundation have learned 
with deep regret of the death of Pro¬ 
fessor Oscar Montelius, former Anti¬ 
quary of the Realm of Sweden. Pro¬ 
fessor Montelius w T as chairman of the 
Swedish Advisory Committee of the 
Foundation from its formation in 1913 
until 1920 when, its functions being 
taken over by the Sverige-Amerika- 
Stiftelse, Professor Montelius became di¬ 
rector of that organization and a member 
of its Stipendium Jury. 
By the lustre of his name as one of 
the foremost scholars of the world in his 
field, and by the high esteem in which he 
was held by his countrymen, Professor 
Montelius contributed greatly to the 
prestige of the Foundation in Sweden, 
and by the wisdom of his counsels he 
helped to guide the further development 
of that Fellowship Exchange in which he 
was active from its inception. 
The Trustees of the American- 
Scandinavian Foundation wish to record 
their deep appreciation of the services 
Professor Montelius rendered the cause 
of the Swudish-American friendly inter¬ 
change and to extend to Sverige-Ameri- 
ka-Stiftelsen their profound sympathy in 
the loss which the Stiftelse has sustained 
through his death.” 
By a rising vote, the Trustees also passed 
this resolution recording the death of their 
former associate, Consul General Ravn: 
“The Trustees of The American- 
Scandinavian Foundation have learned 
with deep sorrow of the death of Consul 
General Christopher Ravn, Trustee of 
the Foundation since its incorporation, 
March 16, 1911, till February 7, 1920, 
when, illness having forced him to resign 
from his various activities, his resigna¬ 
tion w r as regretfully accepted.
