<p>Dear all,</p>
<p>Those of you on social media will already be aware of this, but
something that press coverage of yesterday's shooting at Charles
University in Prague for wider audiences does not include: it
largely took place around and at the Department of Finnish Studies
and tragically, Jan Dlask, distinguished scholar, translator, and
teacher of Finnish and esp. Finland-Swedish literature, lost his
life. On the social media platform formerly known on Twitter,
people are finding solace in the beautiful words of Z. Topelius's

<p>There clearly are no words for such an unspeakable tragedy. All I
can think of is to share the warmest possible thoughts with his
family, friends, colleagues, and students, and with all those to
whom other victims of this senseless brutality were near and dear.</p>
