Dr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Horn Endowed Scholarship in Accounting

The Dr. and Mrs. Frederick E. Horn Endowed Scholarship in Accounting was established in 1996 in honor of Dr. Horn by his wife, Lenore Peterman Horn. The scholarship will be awarded to a third-year student with an overall GPA of 3.0 to be used toward fourth-year tuition. Dr. and Mrs. Horn both graduated from East High School in 1929. Dr. Frederick E. Horn graduated from The University of Akron in 1933. Mrs. Horn attended evening classes at The University of Akron while working as the private secretary to the superintendent of the Akron Public School system. Dr. Horn received his master’s and Ph.D. degrees from Columbia University, where he had a distinguished career as a Graduate School of Business Professor, and headed the Graduate School of Business office for several years. Dr. Horn was a CPA and Partner in the Arthur accounting firm in New York City, where he was their international personnel director. And it was in this capacity that Dr. Horn and his wife traveled to more than 150 countries — he teaching accounting to foreign employees of the firm, and she doing his secretarial work. Both Dr. and Mrs. Horn were indeed grateful to the University for their excellent educational background, and she is pleased to establish this endowed fund.
