Transcription

Back in 1935 President Brown and Professor Holvik donned high silk hats and sat uneasily before the royalty of Norway while abroad, with the result that Concordia has most graciously been designated as a place of stop-over for Crown Prince Olav and Crown Princess Martha, when that royal pair tour America next spring. No definite date as yet, though it will be sometime just before May 17. Anyway, with the characteristic frenzy of folks in a democracy, we shall most likely outdo ourselves in craning our necks at royalty. And you Viking descendants, whether you hale from Oslo or Lofoten, prepare to come to Moorhead and Concordia then, for remember: Even a cat may look at a king nowadays.
