| | The Order of Runeberg - An Historical Sketch |
 | | Johan Ludvig Runeberg, one of the greatest poets of Scandinavia, was born in Finland and his name was selected to honor the new organization. |
 | | All those festivals are carried on in a spirit which advances education and culture, and so the Order of Runeberg is carrying on the aims of the two paternal organizations, and in spite of the long, drawn-out depression, is succeeding quite well. |
 | | The Order of Runeberg has held the following conventions: the merger- and organization-meeting in Waukegan, Illinois, in 1920, the next convention in.Tacoma, Washington, in 1922, one in Superior, Wisconsin, in 1925, and the latest convention was held in New York in 1929. |
