The year 1896 when Olaf Broch was appointed Reader in Oslo (then Kristiania), marks the starting point of Slavic studies in Norway at university level. The centenary, intimately linked with Broch's name, was solemnly celebrated at an international symposium in September 1996 on the premises of the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters where Broch had been Secretary General for more than twenty years (1924-45). Opening addresses were given by the Rector of the University of Oslo, Professor Dr. Lucy Smith, and the President of the Academy, Professor Dr. Bjarne Waaler. A speech of welcome was delivered by the Chairman of the Department of East European and Oriental Studies at the University of Oslo, Professor Dr. Jan Ivar Bjørnflaten. Twenty-two papers were read by distinguished scholars from 15 countries, both from Europe and overseas. Some of the papers were devoted to linguistic topics investigated by Broch and underscored his pioneering, often innovating achievements, whereas others were not directly associated with Broch's work. The symposium was arranged as part of the series of Academy symposia. Both due to this fact as well as to the special role of Olaf Broch at the Academy, the contributions are published in the Skrifter utgitt av Det Norske VidenskapsAkademi. II. Hist.-Filos. Klasse. The volume appears as the result of a fruitful cooperation between the Department of East European and Oriental Studies and the Academy. We highly appreciate the interest and positive attitude taken by the Academv in the matter. Jan Ivar Bjørnflaten, Geir Kjetsaa, Terie Mathiassen. Artikel-Nr. PGNOV102
