The fifth Olympiad: the official report of the Olympic games of Stockholm, 1912: "At a meeting held on the 16 October 1911, the Swedish Olympic Committee decided to appoint a special Press Committee. Colonel Baron S. D. A. Hermelin was chosen President, and 10 other members were also elected; 5 from the Swedish Association of Journalists, and 5 representatives of the sporting press of Stockholm. The Press-Committee considered it necessary to appoint a salaried official for the period 20 June to 20 July 1912, andecommended that Dr. D. Wahlberg, of the Stockholms Dagblad, should fill the post. The Swedish Olympic Committee approved of r the proposal, and Dr. Wahlberg was elected a member of the Press Committee, and at once began to take part in its labors, especially by assisting the chairman in the very extensive correspondences sent abroad. Dr. Wahlberg began his work as Press-Commissioner on the 17 June 1912, while the bureau at the stadium was opened on the 20 June, a few days before the Games began, and from that date until 17 July, Dr. Wahlberg was engaged at this office almost day and night. Two special assistants were placed at Dr. Wahlberg's disposal; in addition to which, the club-attendant of the Swedish Association of Journalists was also sent to help at the office, where his experience in attending to the wants of journalists was of great service."[1]
