their decendants, you can be of better
serycie, more valuable citizen by
keeping posted on the conditions of
your mother country or the fatherland
and as patriotic citizens give us the
benefit of your knowledge.
The Scandinavians are known as
good citizens and still we have great
admiration for the country whose sub
jects we once were. We have learned
much by studying the simple life of
these people. not from the aristocracy
but from what has been developed
and sprung from the common people.
It is gracious and graceful thought
that this date, the 18th of May, has
been selected for the opening exercises
of q new institution connected with
our state university. the Scandinavian
library. The 18th Of May is indeed
the national holiday of the Norwe-
CLANS but 1t has also been more or less
observed by their brethren from other
parts of Scandinavia, especially when
In foreign ports, as Norway was

could more properly be selected for
the dedication of Scandinavian
library and on the other hand It ia
emtnently proper that such an insti-
tuition be established in this country
and especially in the state of North
Dakota. We are all. who are present
mere today, well aware of the fact that
our country was first discovered by
Lief, the happy, and there can be
no doubt that the old Norsmen landed
and tried to settle on the shore of
New England 900 years before their,

tual descendants, the august Pilgrim

families, within the borders of our
state.
Present conditions are perhaps be-
yond our expectations in the early
days. We should be satisfied and con-
tent. and not easily influenced to
imaginary and visionary ideas which
excites person not to the Hottest
aims.
Now what wish to point out is the
fact that the establishment of a Scan
dinavtan library as part of this uni
versity signifies much more than the
mere acquisition of SO many thousand
dollars worth of Scandinavian books.
1t is an offspring of the wish that our
students should become familiar with
the intellectual achievement, the
moral endeavor, the ideal aspirations
OF the Scandinavian people. 1t is
more particularly an expression of
the desire to bring to clearer con-
seriousness, the common origin of the
scandinavian and American and the
continuity of the kinship in it's various
developments and manifestations.
Most of our American universities
have established chairs in the Scan
dinavian language and literature and
they as we'll as the larger public
libraries have collections of Scan
dinavian- books. The first Scandinavian
library in this country was established
by George Perkins Marsh. We find
In Appleton's Cyclopedia that this
diplomatist was born in Woodstock.
VT, March Is. 1901.
Mr.. Marsh achieved a reputation
through his pathological studies, es-
pecially in the languages and litera=
ture of the north of Europe. Hes was
an admirer of the old Norsemen.
whose presence he traced to whatever
is great and peculiar in the character
OF the founders of New England. His
work in this department began when
ne was young lawyer in Vermont
and his first publication was Com
pendion Grammar of the Old Ice
landic Language" compiled and trans
lated from the grammar Rask in 1888.
He owned the finest collection of
Scandinavian literature except those

mately became the property of the

formation of the library: In 1926 Mr..
Marsh was admitted to the bar and
took up his residence in Burlington.

that is highest and truest in the Eng
lish character and that of the yam

This view has now become more
familiar through deeper study and
more wide spread knowledge of the
languages, literature and history of
the Scandinavian people. l wish to
point out another important fact that
can hardly be too strongly emphasized,
knowledge of the Scandinavian Ian
guage introduces the student to a
galaxy of writer's of the highest emin-
ence in the literary and scientific
world.
will briefly mention a few of them,
quoting from paper by the we'll
known American writer. Prof. R. B.
Anderson. in his first chapter of Nor
wegian immigration. 1t will demon
stlate the fact that the Scandinayians
though comparatively few in number,
easily rank with the most prominent
nations in the domain of science. art
and literature.
There is the great Danish astron-
omer. Tycho. Brahe one of the most
prominent scientists of the sixteenth
century. From his observatory,
Uranienborg on the little island Of
Tween. his fame spread throughout
Europe and savants from all lands
made pilgrimages to his home.
Through his services to astronomy his
name has become immortal. For
I thirty years he made regular and
careful observations in regard to the
movements of the planets and it was
only on the foundation of his vast pre-
liminary labors which accuracy sur
passed all that practical astronomy
had previously achieved. That KEEP
| pier was able to produce his celebrat-
ed Theories and laws.
With perfect justice it has been said
that Tycho Brahe made the obserya-
tions that Keppler discovered the law
and that Newton conceived the nature
| of the law.
The devotees of geology should not

About two years ago 1t was suggest
ed that it would be fitting to establish
Scandinavian library at the state
i university Of North Dakota. l had the
honor Of being a member of the board
OF regents at that time. This idea APP
pealed to me and at once prepared
and made one of the most effective
speeches ever made before that hon
orable body in favor of the establish
ment of a Scandinavian library. The
members of the board at that time
was composed of Bartlett, TOwle, Col
Inns and Bulge. My speech was espe-
cfally effective on Messrs. Bulge and
Collins. A liberal sum of money was
appropriated for the purpose of pur-
chasing Scandinavian books. per-
sonally agreed that a like sum of
money would be raised by us.
We have become great nation. SIM
ply because the United States has per-
mitted people from all parts of the
world to share and participate in the
great wealth and blessings which this
country had in store. Millions of peo-
pie have come to our shores but those
who together with the Yankee have
made the country what 1t is and have
