Boyesen completed his preparation

city. Meanwhile his father. who had
great enthusiasm for the United
States had spent two or three years in
this country, and determined TO give
his sons a chance TO decide for them
selves whether they wished 10 live here
or in Norway. He therefore deposited
a sum of money with friend in Chi
cago, TO be paid to any of them who
should come to claim it in person.

versity in 1861 the professor went on.

was at my disposal, and advised me to
