THE AMERICAN-SCANDINAVIAN REVIEW

Consul-General Ravn 
friend of Niels Poulson, and in losing 
him, the Trustees feel the loss of a con¬ 
necting link with the founder and the 
early ideals of the Foundation. His 
name on the Board carried weight not 
only by virtue of his official rank as the 
chief consular representative of Nor¬ 
way in the United States, but also bv 
virtue of the unique place in the regard 
of his countrymen which he had won by 
his long and unselfish service. In his at¬ 
tendance at the meetings of the Board 
he was most faithful. 
The Trustees desire to record here 
their sorrow and their sense of the loss 
which the American-Scandinavian Foun¬ 
dation has sustained by Consul General 
Ravn’s death.” 
Sverige-America-Stiftelse 
The second annual report of Sverige- 
Amerika-Stiftelse contains besides the offi¬ 
cial summary of the year’s activities in 1921, 
some articles contributed by Fellows of 
the Stiftelse. Docent Bertii Lindblad of 
Uppsala writes of his astronomical study 
pursued at the Mount Wilson and Lick Ob¬ 
servatories, with shorter stavs at a number 
of others; Dr. Gunnar Brandell, a student of 
the theory and practice of banking during his 
two years at the National City Bank in New 
^ ork, describes life at that highly organized 
institution; Mr. Waldemar Ekvall, who 
studied business administration at the Amos 
Tuck School of Business, Dartmouth College, 
explains the principles and advantages of the 
Taylor system. Papers of this character by 
former F ellows bear eloquent witness of the 
successful attainment of the aims and ideals 
hoped for through these exchange fellow¬ 
ships. 
At the annual meeting of the Stiftelse, Pro¬ 
fessor Svante Arrhenius was reelected as 
president. Archbishop Soderblom, P. T. Berg, 
and A. R. Nordvall were made vice-presi¬ 
dents, Consul-General E. E. Ekstrand was re¬ 
elected as secretary, and Miss Eva Froberg 
as assistant secretary. 
Consuls in Education 
When American students arrive in Christi¬ 
ania they go directly to the beautiful build¬ 
ing of the Norwegian America Line where 
are the offices of Nordmands-Forbundet and 
Norge-Amerika-Fondet, the sister organiza¬ 
tion of the Foundation. Here they are wel¬ 
comed by Sigurd Folkestad, secretary of the 
two institutions, who starts them on their 
year of study, and by the treasurer, Mr. Kop- 
perud, who sees to it that they receive 
promptly the quarterly installments of their 
stipends.
