Ritstjórnarskifti
Hendrik W. Poulsen, málfrøSingur og Jóan Pauli Joensen,
fólkalívsfrøðingur. Nevndin hevur skipað seg soleiðis: Høgni
Debes Joensen, formaður, Jóan Pauli Joensen, næstformaður og
Jóhan Hendrik W. Poulsen, kassameistari. Allir tríggir sita
sum ritstjórar á Fróðskaparriti.
Nýggja nevndin ber fráfarandi nevnd sína bestu tøkk fyri,
at teir hava lynt so væl undir hana; eisini vil hon nýta høvi at
takka Mentunargrunni Føroya løgtings, sum so trúliga hevur
borið Fróðskaparrit uppi hesi 25 árini. Vit vóna at fáa eins
gott samstarv við grunnin, sum fráfarna nevndin hevur havt.
Ritstjórnin.

ber, 1977, they stepped down from the committee, and, at the
same time, retired from editorship. Sverri Dahl, our National
Antiquary, served with them as a fellow committee-member
during all those years. He was not an editor, but he wrote all

the committee. Although pressed to do so, none of the three
would stand for re-election. They felt that a term of 25 years
was long enough.
For the first ten years Hans Debes Joensen and Jóannes
Rasmussen served alone as editors, then, in 1962, they were
joined by Jóhannes av Skarði, lexicographer and teacher. He
retired from editorship in 1973 and his place was taken by
