Pro Peer Stromme or Madison,
Wis.,, delivered two lectures in this
city last week at the solicitation OF
his many Canton friends. One adj
dress was In English and the other in
and both were given in
College Chapel. Prof.
.tromme Is a fine specimen OF the
rugged Norsemen, an eloquent speak
er and has a fine platform presence.
He discussed Norway past and pres
ent and pointed with pride to the
fact that Norway's recent separation
from Sweden placed Norway before
the world as a free and ~indedendent
nation, and her noble sons at home
and abroad feel the inspiration that
goes with national pride. Norweg-
ians In America feel that they came
from a county whose people love lib
erty and independence just as dearly
as any people on earth, and while
joined with Sweden in a political
union, never considered that union
more than a simple form Of dual gov
eminent to be severed when the rights
of Norway were infringed upon. Prof.
Stromme reviewed conditions with
the conscious pride OF a Norwegian
American who sees beyond the sea
one of the oldest nations rising into
prominence as a republic with a peo-
pies King. Prof. Stromme enjoyed
his visit to Canton and hopes to visit
our people again in the near future.
