Excerpt from The Scandinavian American: With the Collaboration of Beatrice Stevenson, M. A This book is the result of a thesis presented by one of the authors for a Doctor's degree at New York University. The more purely sociological chapters have been omitted and instead such matters as properly belong to the subject have been added. The book is not intended to be a complete and comprehensive discussion of the subject, but rather its object is to point out the extensive activities of the Scandinavians in America, and in this way to serve as a stimulus towards arousing an interest in the Scandinavian influence, as well as to encourage further study of Scandinavian achievement in America. The work does not contain much with which the first generation Scandinavian is not already familiar, as it is primarily intended for the second and third generations and for Americans who may desire a concise outline of the Scandinavian content in America. As one of the writers is a Norwegian-American, the Norwegians may, at times, have received a more complete treatment than the other branches of the Scandinavian family.
