a convocation at Luther's Center
for Faith and Life. Richard Torgerson,
president of Luther College,
will present Their Majesties with the
Spirit of Luther Award, an honor
bestowed upon individuals who have
furthered the college's mission. After
the convocation, the king and queen
will attend a luncheon on campus
and then visit Vesterheim Norwegian-American
Museum.
H^\c^ÈXVcXZ/ " The visit is
significant to us because we are the
oldest Norwegian-American college
in the United States, " says Karen
Martin-Schramm, assistant to the
president and chair of the sesquicentennial
celebration at Luther. " In our
sesquicentennial year, when we're so
proud of our Norwegian heritage,
it's a tremendous honor to welcome
the king and queen of Norway.
I hope they leave feeling proud of
this institution and the way it has
maintained its ties to Norway for
150 years. "

of pioneer pastors, farmers and
businessmen founded St. Olaf in
1874. They named the school after
King Olav II Haraldsson, who ruled
Norway from 1016 to 1030. The
founders wanted to create an institution
that celebrated the Norwegian
immigrant community and the
splendor of the Nordic Middle
Ages. St. Olaf regularly plays host to
Norwegian visitors, such as Crown
Prince Haakon in 2005, Princess
Märtha Louise in 2006 and Princess
Astrid in 2008.
