New Fund for Swedish Studies Set Up in Honor of Gustav VI

The University has received a gift of $50,000 to support instruction in Swedish language and literature, Provost Paul H. Buck announced yesterday.

The Gustav VI Adolf Lecture Fund has been established in honor of Gustav Adolf, King of Sweden, by Gustav von Rois, Detroit industrialist. It will be used for extended teaching in the Scandinavian languages, especially Swedish.

Gustav VI Adolf, now 70, holds an honorary degree of Doctor of Laws at Harvard. He visited the United States in 1938.
