The Assistant Dean of Women
'MARCH OF DIMES'
CAMPAIGN OPENS
By IIUTHE HALL
Miss Edna Frances Dawkins,
assistant Dean of Women for the
past two and a half years, is a
1937 graduate of Meredith and
is interested in dramatics,
personnel work, and traveling.
Miss Dawkins says that she has
a special liking for music, and is
attempting at present to develop
a more appreciative outlook to
wards art. Two other pet enjoy
ments of our assistant dean are
drinking coffee and entertaining
informally.
While at Meredith, Miss Daw
kins was president of the Little
Theater and was very active in
dramatics. She has been con
nected with the Raleigh Little
Theater in the make-up and pro
duction of several plays, and has
also held parts in “Our Town,”
“Carrie Was a Lady,” and other
productions
acquired when Miss Dawkins
motored to the state of Oregon
with Dr. Helen Price. She ad
mitted that she did not know that
traveling was so much fun. Other
anticipated trips are to the New
England states, Mexico, England,
and maybe Europe.
Miss Dawkins enjoys taking
part in religious activities. While
she was a student at Meredith,
she was president of the Y.W.A.
and she now holds the office of
First Vice President in the
Livingston-Johnson Bible Class.
This summer, while Miss Daw
kins was doing secretarial and
personnel work in a garment
factory, she found out that
people are much the same in any
kind of work and if you show an
interest in them, they would
respond and seem interested in
getting to know you. Miss Daw
kins says, “What I consider the
Miss Dawkins’ interest in | work of the office of the Dean
personnel work began when she! of Women is not so much the
was a student at Meredith oc-! negative discipline of the stu-
cupying the position of secretary ' dents, but more a positive ap-
and student assistant to the Dean i proach towards helping each stu-
of Women, After her graduation, dent work out a good philosophy
she went to Syracuse University
to take a two year course in stu
dent personnel work. Each year
twenty girls in the United States
are chosen and given a fellow
ship to take this special course
which entitles them to a masters
degree in this field. Miss Daw
kins has done summer school
of life and develop mentally,
spiritually, and socially.” This
marks her third year as faculty
adviser to the Freshman Class
and she says she enjoys im
mensely this chance to get to
know the girls better and work
with them.
It was terribly hard to find
work and guidance at Carolina lout the dislikes of our assistant
and Oregon State College, and dean so I shall merely give her
has been acting Dean of Women;answer to the question of what
for two summer sessions at she liked best. She says, “Well,
Meredith. jj j^st love Meredith; I really
A special liking for travel was do.”

WILLIAM KAPELL PLAYS PIANO
IN JANUARY CIVIC MUSIC CONCERT
o
William Kapell, the brilliant
young pianist, appeared in a
Civic Music Concert on January
14, at eight o’clock, in the Me
morial Auditorium.
This pianist, whose fame has
swept the country with the speed
of his own swift fingers, was born
September 20, 1922. As a child
he studied with Dorothy Ander
son La Follette, who has been
one of the great musical in
fluences in his life.
He had won three major
awards before he was twenty—
the Youth Contest of the Phila
delphia Orchestra, the Naum-
burg Fo^ndation Awar^d, an_d the
Town Hall Endowment Series
Award. The summer of 1942
was the official beginning of his
career. He made his first New
York appearance with orchestra
—at the Stadium Concerts with
the Philharmonic - Symphony
under Efrem Kurtz, playing a
new and exciting Soviet Arme
nian Concerto of Aram Khatcha-
tourian.
He has completed four bril
liantly successful nationwide
concert tours and has appeared
as soloist with some twenty
famous orchestras. William
Kapell is the first solo artist
ever to hold a three-year con
tract Philadelphia

He joins other major concert
artists in regarding thousands of
miles of travel each year as in
the nature of a walk to the corner
drugstore. To while away the
time on these excursions, he of
course reads—both scores and
books—but his two favorite di
versions are playing piano works
on his knee or sketching land
scapes seen from the train
windows.
His career has made “news,”
his name has won fame. He has
stood up surprisingly well under
the limelight. He is still in
terested in only one thing, mak
ing music as the composers who
wrote the music wanted it made. * V
He plays with excitement, with
joy and with profound musical
integrity.
