X ' f V , R.. if - nu s 1 Q 'Ebe Sccmoinavicm Club Ever since the beginning of tradition, the Scandinavian people have been known to be an active race. The Anc1entV1k1ng on his venture far from his own strand, left nothing as unconquerable nor did they know of any- thing too difficult to overcome. It will be found that the people of Scandinavia, who have come to this country to build their homes, perpetuate the tradition of their fore- fathers represent the western divisions of the numerous descendants of the Vikings who frequented the North Sea so many centuries ago. 1 Wherever there are Scandinavians there is also pros- perity but better than prosperity is the peace and con- tentment found in the homes and among the neighbors 1n such communities. This is especially the case in the rural districts of such states as Nebraska. The Viking blood is also represented in the School of Agriculture. More than fifty pupils can rightfully boast of their direct lineage to these mighty giants of old, and some of them have still preserved the lofty character- istics But not only in stature do they surpass. In the class room or in the school activities they will be found to be leaders. ' p - This aggregation of students felt the necessity of some form of union in which the best element of the school could get together. To meet this need, the Scan- dinavian Club was organized toward the close of the term 1914 15 Swedes, Danes and N orwegians were urged to Join and they responded quickly. Mary Nelson was chosen the first president of the club and has continued to serve in that capacity until the present time. Morris Rosene and Marie Johnson have officiated as secretary and treasurer, respectively. We had first planned to meet very third Thursday evening in each month, but this was against the regulations, so we compromised on four meetings per annum with no fixed dates. Programs have been given at these gatherings con- M s1st1ng of readings, sketches and songs, mostly in the Scandinavian languages. We had long planned a joint social with Tegner and it was finally effected on March 11 after many postponements. It gave us great pleasure to meet with the older society of the University. The whole affair was planned to have Scandinavian atmo- sphere about it, terminated by eats appropriate for the We have still a pending meeting and with the origin- ality of the Viking descendants at work, it will be a live affair Our Motto ls: Wit, Wisdom, and fun.
