In a series of articles in Christian Work, 
Dr. Frederick Lynch as “The Observer’’ has 
described his spring and summer months in 
Sweden, Norway, and Denmark. Dr. Lynch 
is a Trustee of the Foundation. He went to 
Sweden in May on the invitation of Arch¬ 
bishop Soderblom to give a series of lectures 
on Christian unity under the Olaus Petri 
Foundation. He then went to Norway and 
later to Denmark wdiere he attended the inter¬ 
national conference on world peace called by 
the Church Peace Union. The King of 
Sweden has conferred on Dr. Lynch the 
decoration of the Order of the North Star. 
Mr. Holt and Mr. Moller in Scandinavia 
In the middle of August, there appeared 
in the newspapers of Copenhagen a compre¬ 
hensive interview on the work and policies of 
the Foundation given out by Hamilton Holt, 
President of the Foundation; and H. Esk. 
Moller, Treasurer. Mr. Holt was in Copen¬ 
hagen as a delegate to the conference of the 
Church Peace Union and Mr. Moller spent 
the summer in Denmark. 
Mr. Holt landed in Bergen in mid-July, 
and was welcomed by friends of the Founda¬ 
tion in Christiania. At the conclusion of the 
conference in Copenhagen, he went to Stock¬ 
holm. This was his first visit to the Scandi¬ 
navian countries. 
The Students’ Tour 
The adventures of eighteen representatives 
of American education who travelled through 
Denmark, Norway, and Sweden in July and 
August will be the subject of a brief article 
in another Number of the Review. This tour 
was made under the auspices of the Institute 
of International Education and the Ameri- 
can-Scandinavian Foundation. The party 
sailed on the Cunard liner Saxonia with 
more than 300 other student travelers going 
to England, France, and Italy. Committees 
of reception met and welcomed the American 
party in Copenhagen, Christiania, and Stock¬ 
holm, Dr. Vincent Naeser acting as chairman 
in Copenhagen, Mr. Nils Parmann in Christi¬ 
ania, and Minister Harald de Bildt in Stock¬ 
holm. Mr. Creese, Secretary of the Founda¬ 
tion as leader, and Professor A. B. Benson of 
Yale University as official lecturer, accom¬ 
panied tlie group. 
In the Summer Periodicals 
From May to September, Dr. Leach was 
travelling in central and southern Europe, but 
even at that distance he spoke for the Scandi¬ 
navian North. In the Churchman for July 8, 
appeared his article “A New Danish Experi¬ 
ment’’ describing the International People’s 
College at Elsinore; readers of the Review 
for August saw his “Iwana Rapponen—A 
Visit to a Finnish Co-operator’’; and in the 
Outlook of September 20, was a review of the 
work of Prince Eugen of Sweden. 
Anton David Udden, 1886-1922 
It is with regret and sympathy for his 
family and friends that the Review records 
the death of Dr. Anton David Udden, 
McFadden Fellow of the Foundation to Den¬ 
mark, 1921-1922. Dr. Udden was a graduate 
of Augustana College and had received the 
degrees of Doctor of Philosophy from the 
University of Pennsylvania in 1922. His last 
year was spent in physical research at Copen¬ 
hagen under the direction of Professor Bohr. 
He was stricken just at the conclusion of long 
preparation for a scientific career which 
promised to be unusually brilliant. 
In Geography and Geology 
“A Map of the Distribution of Population 
in Sweden’’ is the title of an article in the 
Geographical Review the journal of the 
American Geographical Society. The author 
is Baron Sten De Geer, Fellow of the Founda¬ 
tion from Sweden for 1922-1923. Baron' 
De Geer was at the University of Chicago 
during the summer session and delivered there 
a series of lectures. His research in America 
is concerned with the relations between geog¬ 
raphy and the industrial concentration of 
population. Professor Gerard De Geer, his 
father, has published in Stockholm a report of 
his geological expedition to America in 1920, 
“Correlation of Late Glacial Annual Clay- 
\ arves in North America with the Swedish 
Time Scale.” The American studies begun 
bv Professor De Geer are being carried on by 
his assistant, Dr. Ernst Antevs, Fellow 1919- 
1920, who recently conducted an excursion of 
American geologists in the Connecticut Val¬ 
ley.
