Obituary: Fritz Marti, Philosopher, Dies At 97 In Tucson, Arizona

Swiss American Historical Society Review

Professor Fritz Marti passed away in his sleep November 23, 1991, in Tucson, Arizona, where he lived with a daughter since 1987. He would have been 98 years old on January 1st. Born in Winterthur, Switzerland in 1894, Marti served in the Swiss Army during the First World War as an engineer and as an intelligence officer in England at the war's outset, preventing German nationals from returning to Germany under the guise of Swiss citizenship. He took his Doctorate of Philosophy at the University of Bern in 1922 and came to the United States that year to teach at …

Switzerland's Dialogue With The New Europe, H. Dwight Page Feb 1992

Switzerland's Dialogue With The New Europe, H. Dwight Page

Swiss American Historical Society Review

In the midst of the extraordinary current political, economic and cultural changes transforming Europe, few nations find themselves in a greater dilemma than Great Britain and Switzerland. While they must participate to a degree in the process of European economic unification, both Britain and Switzerland risk in so doing jeopardizing their political and cultural identities to a greater extent than any other countries in Europe. No other European culture reveres political independence and sovereignty as much as these two. In addition, whereas the other nation states of Europe have been involved in larger supranational European empires until recent times, Britain …

Danish Folk High Schools - Their Influence In America, Joan Mcinnes Jan 1992

Danish Folk High Schools - Their Influence In America, Joan Mcinnes

The Bridge

This is a personal story. It is an attempt to trace my philosophy of adult continuing education (ACE) to my roots in Denmark and to uncover the reasons why entering the Adult Education Program at Northern Illinois University (NIU) felt like coming home after many years of trying to find a place in a society that was philosophically out of harmony with my essence. Throughout my degree program, I have noticed that whenever Highlander Folk School was discussed in classes or in the literature, it struck a chord with me. This feeling went unexplored due to time constraints or other …

The Significance Of The Private Letter In Immigration History, Niels Peter Stilling Jan 1992

The Significance Of The Private Letter In Immigration History, Niels Peter Stilling

The Bridge

The title of this paper is two-sided. The private letter is an important source for understanding the psychological and human aspects of immigration. It is also important to note that until recently historians have shown much too little interest in the documents from the immigrants themselves. My hypothesis, which I intend to discuss here, is that the private letter was the most important stimulating pull-factor in immigration history. In certain periods a call for USA was put forward in most letter series. Praising various aspects of American life, private letters were written to draw relatives or friends across the Atlantic. …

Tales From My Church, Ruth Herman Nielsen Jan 1992

Tales From My Church, Ruth Herman Nielsen

The Bridge

Those of you who grew up in the old A.E.L.C. will relate to much of what I write. You will be able to give names from your congregation to many of those whom I will describe. I will use vignettes, stories, some fact and some fiction. Hence, the title, Tales.

A Land Conquered Nebraska's Mirage Flats, 1918 -1948, Norma C. Shirck Jan 1992

A Land Conquered Nebraska's Mirage Flats, 1918 -1948, Norma C. Shirck

The Bridge

As the Civil War ground to an end in 1865 and Nebraska gained statehood in 1867, men and women turned their attention to the west, ever seeking a better way of life. Immigrants from Europe continued to swarm the shores of America and mingle with the pioneers trudging toward the western sun. The Danes, too, finding little in their homeland to keep them there, or escaping the heavy hands of the German military, flocked to the promised land.

Jens Horstrup: A Labor Legacy, Shannon Kracht Jan 1992

Jens Horstrup: A Labor Legacy, Shannon Kracht

The Bridge

When Jens Horstrup was a young man, his father Albert taught him that every worker had a right to take part in decisions made by his or her employer. It was a lesson that he carried - and re-taught - for the remainder of his life. Born in July, 1907, in Fredrickshavn to a ship patternmaker father, Jens opted for the bricklaying trade. He served a seven-year apprenticeship in Denmark, worked as a bricklayer in his country for awhile, and, seeking the challenges inherent in new opportunities, traveled to America in 1927. In his book, The Danish Americans, George R. …

My First Ninety Years, Agneta Jensen Slott Jan 1992

My First Ninety Years, Agneta Jensen Slott

The Bridge

My father and mother, John Christian and Anne Jensen and three children, Signius, Katherine and Kamille, came to America from Denmark in 1890. They settled in Tacoma for three years where my father worked as a bricklayer. Fremming, their fourth child, was born while they lived in Tacoma. After three years they came to Enumclaw, bought some wooded acreage which is now part of the King County Fair Grounds. My father cleared a space big enough to build a house. He worked in a logging camp and walked four miles to and from work. In 1893 they moved to Franklin …

Gribskov, Marius Larsen Jan 1992

Gribskov, Marius Larsen

The Bridge

Pastor Marius Larsen was one of the many Danish preachers who served Danish Lutheran Churches in the United States for a time and then returned to Denmark to accept pastorates in that country. Larsen served the Junction City, Oregon "Danish" Church in the late 1920s, and into the early 1930s, when he accepted a call to serve the Nathaniel Lutheran Church in Dagmar, Montana. He returned to Denmark in the mid 1930s and became pastor of the Als congregation located at the eastern end of "Limfjord," directly east of the city of Aalborg. While there he wrote a book about …

Weeping Water, A Typical Small Town Danish-American Community, 1880-1930, Edith Matteson, Jean Matteson Jan 1992

Weeping Water, A Typical Small Town Danish-American Community, 1880-1930, Edith Matteson, Jean Matteson

The Bridge

It is common knowledge that Danes established numerous small agricultural settlements across the United States during the period of mass emigration from Denmark that began in the 1860s and lasted through the 1920s. Yet scholars studying Danes in America have frequently devoted more attention to the institutions established in small towns in America than to the communities themselves. For example, if it had not been for Sophus K. Winther's trilogy that begins with the novel Take All to Nebraska (1936), the community established by Danes in and around Weeping Water in Cass County, Nebraska, would probably have passed unnoticed by …
