C.J.JANSSON PRIZE                                                                             

In 1925, the engineer Ingwald Sourander had commissioned the printing of a new edition of C.J. Jansson’s book, “A practical handbook on paper production and boardmaking from white mechanical groundwood”. The book, which first appeared in 1878, was the first work published in Swedish dealing with groundwood production and boardmaking. At the summer meeting on 17 July 1925, Ingwald Sourander donated the entire edition to the Association. A fund was to be established from the proceeds from the book’s sales. Ingwald Sourander made further donations to the fund in 1926 and 1927.

The rules of the fund were approved on 21 November 1925. Amendments were made to § 3 subsection 2 of the rules on 26 April 1941 and again on 27 November 1943 with the consent of Ingwald Sourander.
