Eng. Council
Aids Norway
By Paul Taylor
Thanks to the efforts of the
English Council and members of
the faculty, a little Norwegian
school has received a bit of Amer¬
ica in the “person” of famous
American authors.
Ben Rude of the English De¬
partment faculty taught at the
Hamar Laerskolen, a small Nor¬
wegian college, on a Fullbright
grant, last year. While he was
there he noticed that the library
had only one American book in
the English section. All other
English books were of British
origin.
WHEN Rude returned to PCC
he started a drive for American
books for Hamar Laerskolen.
Rude’s first step was to get in
touch with his colleagues on the
faculty and ask them to donate
any books they cared to give. The
call was answered and the books
came pouring in.
The English Council donated
$56 to be used as Rude saw fit.

THE MONEY was used for
postage, for putting hard covers
on the paperbacks, and for fill¬
ing the gaps in the representative
literature.
Rude said, “I tried to give a
representative selection of Amer¬
ican literature, with such authors
as Melville, Hawthorne, Twain,
Baldwin, and others— both con¬
temporary and classical. I’m very
happy that our students and fac¬
ulty responded favorably to the
request to send a little bit of
America to Norway.”
