Mr. Artur Rubinstein Beverly Wilshire Hotel Beverly Hills, California

Dear Mr. Rubinstein:

First, let me again tell you how honored and pleased we are to have you with us.

I am sorry you did not receive any of our communications. However, this is understandable since your schedule takes you to all four corners of the world.

For your information, there is a private dais reception from 6:30 to 7:30 PM in the Brentwood Room of the Century Plaza Hotel. Invitations have been issued only to those individuals who will be seated on the dais. Both you and Mrs. Rubinstein, of course, will be among our distinguished dais guests.

I am enclosing the agenda for the evening. The actual programs will not be ready until Wednesday. This should provide the timing and sequence of our program. The eve­ ning is one in which you will be honored with the Scopus Award, the most coveted and prestigious award of the American Friends of the Hebrew University.

I am also pleased to tell you that we were fortunate in securing for our musical program one of your protegees, Janina Fialkowska, whom we were fortunate to hear during our recent visit to Jerusalem this past summer.

Her concert on November 2nd in Pasadena made it possible for her to be with us. I must tell you that she, too, felt WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 5,1975 ♦ LOS ANGELES BALLROOM • CENTURY PLAZA HOTEL
