Perhaps nowhere is the presence of the Finn more evident than the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. where the climate and the striking natural beauty reminds one of Finland. As a result thousands of Finns chose upper Michigan as their new homeland. Northern Michigan University. located in Marquette on the shores of Lake Superior. chose to focus upon the manifold contributions of the Finn. in its sponsorship of Finnish Culture Week. December 1621. It was part of the universitys yearlong 75th anniversary observance. One of the features of the week was an address by Dr. John I. Kolehmainen. professor of political science at Heidelberg University. Ohio. a noted scholar and authority on Finnish immigrant culture. I ask unanimous consent that the address be printed in the RECORD.
