Reginald Fessenden
Reginald Aubrey Fessenden (October 6, 1866 – July 22, 1932) was a Canadian-born inventor, who did a majority of his work in the United States and also claimed U.S. citizenship through his American-born father. During his life he received hundreds of patents in various fields, most notably ones related to radio and sonar.
Ditmar Meidell
On 1 January 1855, "Krydseren" ended and in its place came the newspaper "Aftenbladet". Meidell edited the newspaper together with Børge Hjelm, then with Ole Richter, then with Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson. Bjørnson did not last for long in "Aftenbladet" because of political differences, but wrote in 1870 that Meidell was "the finest and wittiest pen" in Norwegian journalism. From 1860 to 1879 Meidell was the sole editor. However, his successor J. Sandberg soon died, and Meidell was again editor from 1880 to 1881, when the newspaper became defunct. From 1884 to 1885 Meidell published a periodical named "Norsk Maanedsskrift for Literatur, Kunst og Politik". Despite that "Krydseren" and "Aftenbladet" were liberal-leaning, "Norsk Maanedsskrift" has been called a "Conservative reply to Ernst Sars' "Nyt Tidsskrift"". Meidell was also head librarian at the Deichman Library from 1884 to 1898.
