“All through the night the Trondhjem was straining and tugging at her anchor chain and we learnt later that the captain was fearful that at any time his boat would be dashed to pieces on the rocks.
Foolishly the Trondhjem’s sails were lowered, and the current must have been setting in hard towards land, for the vessel was drifting shoreward in great troughs of swells that were frighteningly large.

The result was that Trondhjem town, or Nidar-os, as it was then called, became populous and rich, too, through the generous expenditure of money by wealthy visitors.
Tradition says the place grew until there were fourteen other churches besides this, and five flourishing monasteries, the latter being maintained largely as inns for pilgrims.
The thirty-five thousand people who live here are well-to-do property owners, or thrifty wage-earners, and they have contributed generously toward the restoration of the stately and splendid old house of worship, though financial responsibility for the undertaking was shared by the whole country.

 Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem (meaning "The student society of Trondheim"), or Samfundet for short is Norway's largest student society.
In the beginning, membership was limited to NTH students; this was later expanded to all students (over 18) in the Trondheim area, and thus, in 1912, the name changed into Studentersamfundet i Trondhjem ("The student society of Trondheim"), which still is its current name, although the city has switched names twice since.
In the first two years, Samfundet did not have its own building, but in 1912, they bought an old abandoned circus building (only called "Circus"), and 17 years later, in 1927, one began the building of the characteristic red round house which is today known as Samfundet.

As a city name "Trondhjem" (pronounced Trōnyěm) seems melodiously beautiful to the sturdy Norse citizens who live there, on cheese and fish pudding, almost within the Arctic Circle.
Soon 25,000 irate citizens (nearly half Trondhjem's population) mass-met under a lowering sky, furiously handclapped speeches of indignation as rain began to patter, signed under umbrellas a potent petition of protest.
The reactionary country folk of Norway whose representatives dominate the Storthing are bent on restoring the almost prehistoric names by which Norwegian cities were called before the fatherland came under the rule of Danish and later Swedish kings, from which it emerged independent only in 1905.
