Abstract
THE 97TH ANNUAL MEETING of the Society for the Advancement of Scandinavian Study was held 26-28 April 2007, in Davenport, Iowa. The local organizer was Prof. Larry Scott of Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois and the academic program was overseen by Prof. Jason Lavery of Oklahoma State University. was our Nordic government host this year and the keynote address, Education in a Modern Multicultural Iceland was delivered Thursday evening by Anna Bjartmarsdottir Sveinbjornsson, Nordic Studies Librarian at the University of Washington. As is traditional, the officers of the Society and the Advisory Council met on Thursday afternoon, 26 April, and the business meeting for the membership was held on Saturday morning, 28 April. Both meetings were presided over by President Christine Ingebritsen of the University of Washington. Jason Lavery is the Vice-President elect, and Carol Gold (U of Alaska) will serve out his remaining year as a member of the Executive Council. Merrill Kaplan (Ohio State University) and Tracey Sands (U of Colorado) are the newly elected members of the Executive Council and will serve from 2007 to 2011. The Advisory Council meeting began with a pre-conference report from Larry Scott and Jason Lavery. Overall there were 186 registered participants at the meeting, which is a good number. Past-president Mary Kay Norseng (UCLA) and Secretary-Treasurer Richard Jensen (Brigham Young University) reported on the ACLS Conference in 2006, and noted that Karin Sanders (UC Berkeley) was appointed this year as the SASS delegate to the Montreal conference in May 2007. As we are relatively new members of ACLS, our procedures for nominating the ACLS delegate have not been formalized, but this should happen during the coming year. President Ingebritsen then reported on plans to have a joint meeting with the Association for Advancement of Baltic Studies in 2010 in Seattle. The Norwegian-American Historical Association has requested that SASS take over the administration of the Einar and Eva Lund Haugen Memorial Scholarship. The Council voted unanimously that we take on this task and a committee was appointed, consisting of Terje Leiren (U of Washington), Mary Kay Norseng, and Richard Jensen, to work on adapting the scholarship guidelines, which is a prerequisite for transferral of the funds to SASS. This measure was unanimously affirmed by the membership at the Saturday meeting. Secretary-Treasurer Richard Jensen put forth a proposal that SASS initiate a Capital Fund-raising Campaign in order to create an endowment to ensure the survival of the Society, in the face of dwindling membership and the rising costs of publishing the journal. Past-president Michael Metcalf (U of Mississippi), who was not present at the Davenport meeting, has agreed to lead the effort and will be assisted by Mary Kay Norseng, Terje Leiren, Charles Peterson (Northpark College), and Richard Jensen. The Secretary-Treasurer went on further to present his financial report for the past year, which has been a good one, thanks to a robust stock market and royalty income. The Birgit Baldwin Fund has performed well and the conference in Oxford, Mississippi was able to contribute a surplus of around $3,000. Unfortunately current membership in the Society has decreased to under 600, hence, the suggestion for the Capital Campaign. The Secretary-Treasurer also proposed a constitutional amendment that would make the calendar year equal to the fiscal year. …
