Gift of Norwegian Books

The Viking Club of Boston, an association of about twenty Norwegians, who are now citizens of the United States, has recently presented to the Library a collection of one hundred and fifty-five uniformly-bound volumes of Norwegian literature. They are chiefly the works of modern authors. The object of the club in making this interesting and valuable gift is stated in a letter to the President and Fellows as follows: "To show in a simple but useful way our appreciation of the fact that courses in modern Scandinavian literature are now regularly offered by the University, and to express our hope that they may steadily grow in favor."
