Waldemar Ager, ca. 1920s

"I ask you to remember that those emigrants whose highest ideal and desire was to be swallowed up in the new society into which they had come are all forgotten. No President comes to honor them and no foreign minister to speak for their country. It is because the Norwegians have desired and have been able to preserve that which was good and noble in their Norwegian cultural heritage that they are honored and remembered in America today."

—Waldemar Ager, speaking at the Norwegian Centennial, 1925
