The Bridge
In the 1995-96 academic year Grand View College will

this milestone, suggestions have been made to designate
1994-95 the "Year of Grundtvig," and to formally observe
with the entire Grand View community the influence of
the great Dane upon the college and its educational philosophy.

whose most recent Academic Mission Statement proudly
declares its founding "by Danish immigrants who sought
to give the educational vision and ideals of N.F.S.
Grundtvig an institutional presence?"
