underground troops were on
hand to help the allies.

IT WAS during this period that
UNESCO was formed with Prof.
Sommerfelt as the chairman of
the committee preparing its or-
ganization.
A member of the executive
board of UNESCO for six years,
Prof. Sommerfelt explained that
its most important contributions'
have been in international edu-
cation," the help given to un-
derdeveloped countries in, both
general and higher education."
Prof. Sommerfelt also commend-

of scientific. collaboration offices
where scientists show those in local
regions new scientific methods.
* * *
IMPROVED communication be-
tween scientists throughout the
world is due in some part to UN-
ESCO, according to Prof. Sommer-
felt.
As secretary-general of the
International Organization of
Linguists, Prof. Sommerfelt is
especially interested in the Cel-
tie, Caucasian, and Scandina-
vian languages.
He cited UNESCO's part in lin-
guistics as sponsoring a bibliog-
raphy of everything published in
linguistics all over the world and
setting up of special research pro-
Jects into the nature of relations
between language and culture.

ed a great interest in the organiza-
tion of the University because he
might wish to use it as a model on
which to base the reorganization
of the now continental European-
type University of Oslo.
Speaking of student life at the
University of Oslo, Prof. Som-
merfelt said Norwegian students
"are fond of sailing in the Fjord"
and also go, skiing frequently in
the nearby mountains.
"Students are represented at all
faculty meetings where things of
interest to them are discussed," he
said
In this way the faculty is trying
to cure Norwegian students of a
shyness which, according to Prof.
Sommerfelt, is noticed by Ameri-
can professors visiting the Univer-
sity of Oslo.

There will be a meeting in the Schor-
ling Auditorium, University High School,
at 4:00 o'clock, Wednesday afternoon,
July 29, for all candidates interested in
positions now or in the future.
