FELLOWSHIPS AVAILABLE FOR STUDY IN SCANDINAVIA
April 1920

The American-Scandinavian Foundation has just announced the establishment of twenty fellowships of $1000 each to allow college graduates to avail themselves of the opportunity of studying in one of the Scandinavian countries.

Of these fellowships ten will be availible for study in Sweden, five for study in Denmark, and five for study in Norway, and work may be followed in many branches, humanistic as well as technological.

The funds to maintain the fellowships have been pledged by Americans who desire to promote closer union between the Scandinavian countries and the United States. There will also be appointed twenty Scandinavian students for study in the United States, these students being distributed among the different colleges in the country.

The jury in the United States which will make the final appointments consists of the following men: William Hovgaard (chairman), Professor of Naval Architecture, M. I. T.; Professor H. P. Talbot, Head of the Dept. of Chemistry, M. I. T.; Professor A. E. Kennelly, Head of the Dept. of Electrical Engineering, Harvard University; William Campbell, Professor of Metallurgy, Columbia University; and Professor J. W. Toumey, Director of the School of Forestry, Yale University.

During the present academic year ten American students are studying in Sweden, representing graduates of the following institutions: Northwestern University, lowa State College, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, University of Wyoming, Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Sheffield Scientific School, Yale School of Forestry, New York State School of Forestry, at Syracuse University, and the University of Michigan.

To qualify for this fellowship a candidate must be a native of the United States or Canada, should be a college graduate and it would be to his great advantage to have a knowledge of one of the Scandinavian languages.

Graduates of the College who may be interested in this opportunity for further study can obtain on application form by writing to the American-Scandinavian Foundation, 25 West 45th Street, New York City.
