IIORIV, DAIVISII ROTARY SCHOLAR
FL>^US READY WELCOME AT MEREDITH
BARBE WHITE
It is the opinion of those of us
who know her that all Meredith stu
dents should become better ac
quainted with Anne Horn. Anne
hails from Troldhed, Denmark. She
is here for a year of study on a Ro
tary Scholarship, and is con
centrating in the field of psychology.
Early last fall Anne applied for a
scholarship to the American Fund
in Copenhagen, who in turn re
ferred her application to the Inter
national Institute in New York. It
was on May 28 that she received a
letter telling her of her scholarship
award. At that time she was in the
midst of a three-week “vacation”
studying for her final exam, how
ever she took a day off to celebrate
the occasion with her best girl
friend.
Her first feelings of elation” were
somewhat sobered by the thought
that she would be leaving home for
a whole year. But she soon lost her
self in research on North Carolina,
and to find “where in the world
was Raleigh.” She had been given
no information about Meredith be
fore coming here except to learn
that it was a Baptist college. But
shortly after arriving all earlier
doubts were cleared away, and now
she says that she is “very happy to
be here.”
Anne has observed that attend
ing college is more common in
America. She was also rather sur
prised that while in Denmark
there was a school for each field
of specialization, here in America
one might specialize in any num
ber of fields, all within one college.
After her year of work here she will
return to Denmark to study in a
training school in education which
will prepare her to teach in either
primary or secondary schools. An
other feature of American life
which impressed Anne was the fact
that there were so many different
churches, and that so many people
went regularly to church. In Den
mark the Lutheran is the state
church, and church-going is in
many cases a matter of tradition.
Anne told me that in her country
there was nothing unusual in going
to church in low heel shoes, with
out 'gloves or a hat. When she ar
rived in this country she found us in
our everyday casuals, and so nat
urally assumed that our Sunday
dress was similar, and so she wore
flats and her student cap to church

on her first visit only to find to her
great embarrassment that everyone
else was quite dressed up. The total
effect, she thinks, is that we seem
“more lady-like.”
Anne is favorably impressed with
the way the students here have tried
to make her feel at home, have
gotten her right into the midst of
things (extracurricular activities).
In talking further with Anne about
her feelings toward Meredith girls
I heard one of the finest compli
ments that could be said of friend
ship, for Anne said that the girls
had not just been understanding, but
that so many times they had sensed
her problems before she had voiced
them. Their interest and help had
eased her over most periods of
homesickness. The fact that the
teachers also exhibit a great deal of
personal interest toward students
was another of her happy reflec
tions. In general, she likes the over
all informality of Americans, and
has been delighted with their
hospitality.

Gives Concert Here
Tomorrow Night
How did you like the Roberta
Peters concert? In addition to Miss
Peters’ marvelous voice, there was
grace and poise in her stage man
ner and a friendliness in her per
sonality that put the audience
Immediately at ease. Her stage ap
pearance was stunning, and many
have said that here must be an un
usual combination of musical talent
with beauty. The Chamber Music
concert presented by the Alden
Quartet was also a high point in
musical enjoyment. The program,
which included works of Bach,
Beethoven, Brahms, and the con
temporary composer, Martinu, was
well-performed and interesting.
Our musical organizations have
resumed activity with McDowell
Music Club sponsoring the sale of
Civic Music bus tickets. S.A.I.’s
were busy too with the lovely recep
tion given the new music majors in
the chapter room Oct. 15. The
S.A.I. members were quite inter
ested in a report presented by Mar
gie Barnes, President, about the
S.A.I. Convention which she at
tended in Chicago last August.
As we practice so diligently our
new work, perhaps we should pause
at times to remember a thought
which the concerts recently pre
sented help us unconsciously to rea
lize. Then perhaps we may continue
work with renewed interest.
“How many of us ever stop to
think of music as a wondrous link
with God—
Taking sometimes the place of
prayer when words have failed us
’neath the weight of care—
Music that knows no country,
race or creed.
But gives to each according to
his need.”

CAMERON VILLAGE
RALEIGH, NORTH CAROLINA
College Auditorium on Saturday,
Oct. 31, have, since their arrival in
this country in 1938, earned the dis
tinction of being the most heavily
booked single attraction in the en
tire concert history of the United
States. Averaging a hundred con
certs a season in leading cities from
coast to coast, this extraordinary
family ensemble has been heard by
an audience estimated at more than
three million, many of whom return
to hear them again and again each
year in cities where an annual ap
pearance by the Trapps is becoming
something of a local tradition.
Appearing at all times, both on
and off stage, in the picturesque
folk costumes of the Austrian Tyrol,
the Trapps intersperse their a cap-
pella singing of music ranging from
pre-classical church airs and early
motets and madrigals to lusty moun
tain yodels and rollicking folk songs,
with groups of music played on the
ancient spinet, viol da gamba and
recorder—the latter an instrument
which they restored to modem con
cert use, thus instituting a wide
spread vogue for recorder playing
within recent years.
