Með því hefir verið stigið stórt spor til að styrkja menningartengslin milli Austur-íslendinga og Vestur- Islendinga og til að viðhalda ís- lenzkri menningu í Vesturheimi. Það sýnir og vel hug Vestur- íslendinga til þessara mála, að kennarastóll þessi er til orðinn vegna frjálsra framlaga þeirra. Merkur maður, sem er þess- um málum nákunnugur vegna dvalar vestan hafs, séra Jakob Jónsson, minntist þessa atburð- ar nýlega í útvarpsræðu á at- hyglisverðan hátt. Hann sagði m. a.: Eins og kunnugt er kom Árni Eggertsson lögfræðingur frá Winnipeg hingað til þess að vera meðal þeirra, sem heilsuðu Gullfossi. Á meðan hann dvaldi hér, notaði hann tækifærið til þess að flytja okkur gleðitíðindi, sem eru svo merkileg, að telja má til mestu viðburða, -Bem hér hafa skeð í menningarlegu tilliti á síðustu árum, og það í fleiru en einu tilliti. Ég á við það, að hann skýrði útvarpshlustendum frá því mikla afreki Vestur-ís- lendinga að stofna kennarastól í íslenzkum fræðum við háskól- ann í Winnipeg. Árni skýrði vel og skilmerkilega frá gangi máls- ins, en ég efast um það samt sem áður, að landsmenn hafi gert sér það fyllilega ljóst, hvað hér er um að vera. 1 fyrsta lagi er hér að rætast draumur, sem allt frá landnáms- árunum vestra hefir búið íslend- ingum í brjósti. Það var átakan- legt en þó hugnæmt um leið, að heyra um þá seiglu, þá óbilandi þrautseigju, sem landarnir hafa sýnt. Áratugum saman lifir hug- sjónin, og við og við er um hana rætt, unz ástæðurnar eru að lok- Books Donated Dr. Richard Beck, Grand Forks, N.D.; Fru Stefania Sig- urdson, Forest Hills, L.I., N.Y.; Wallace Warner, Attorney Gen- eral, Bismarck, N.D.; Mrs. F.

Við marga háskóla vestan hafs er kennaraembættunum haldið við með sérstökum sjóð- um, sem þurfa þá að vera svo miklir, að ekki sé nein hætta á því, að leggja þurfi kennarastól- inn niður í miðjum kliðum. Vextirnir einir verða í raun og veru að nægja til þess að launa prófessorinn og standa straum af öðrum kostnaði, sem af em- bættinu hlýst. Hér á landi erum vér vön því, að embætti séu stofnuð, ef þurfa þykir, og féð er síðan tekið með sköttum, án tillits til þess, hvað hver ein- staklingur vill af hendi láta. Það væri fróðlegt að vita, hve margir íslenzkir auðmenn vildu leggja það á sig að stofna kenn- araembætti í einhverjum fræð- um við háskóla íslands, sem ekki gæfi þeim nokkurn skapað- an hlut í aðra hönd í efnalegu tilliti. En meðal Vestur-íslend- I inga er alls ekki um eintóma auðmenn að ræða. Margir þeirra, sem láta fé af hendi rakna, eru menn, sem hafa spar- að saman nokkrar upphæðir, sem enginn mundi ásaka þá fyr- ir að nota handa sjálfum sér, ef þeir kysu það heldur. En þeir eru hugsjónamenn, sem unna tungu sinni og menningu. Það hefir mikið verið um það rætt, hve vel landar vestan hafs brugð ust við þegar Eimskipafélag Is- lands var stofnað. Ég hygg, að það séu ekki miklar ýkjur, þótt ég segi, að þetta sé engu minna átak og sýni engu minni ætt- jarðarást. — Stofnun íslenzka kennarastóls ins í Winnipeg er vissulega at- burður, sem Austur-íslending- um er skylt að meta að verð- leikum. Hann mætti og vera þeim ný sönnun um vilja íslend- inga vestan hafs til að viðhalda tengslunum við gamla heima- landið. Nú ber Austur-íslend- ingum að sýna, að þeir virði þennan vilja og sýni það í verki, að ekki skortir þá síður hug og dug til að viðhalda þessum frændsemisböndum, er geta ver- ið báðum aðilum til mikils gagns og menningarauka.
