1923, summa cum laude, received the
Helene and Cecil Rubel Fellowship;
‘Mary Albertson, of ‘Magnolia, N. J.,
Bryn Mawr, 1915, cum laude, received

The. Rubel Fellowship, awarded to
Bryn Mawr graduate students, may be
used in any centre of learning or in trav-
eling and for any purpose approved by
the faculty. Although Miss Burr has nev-
er done any graduate work in Bryn
Mawr, she is regarded by the faculty
and by the donor of the scholarship as
eligible, since her graduate work in Ath-
ens has been done as holder of a Bryn
Mawr fellowship.
So competent was Miss Burr’s first
year of work that she won the fellow-
ship of the American School at Athens
against other candidates, men and wom-
en. Several of these had much longer
experience in graduate and field work
than she. “Her second year is being spent
with a record equally brilliant,” said
Miss Park.
Exceptionally brilliant was Miss Burr’s
record throughout. She was Sheelah Kil-
roy ‘Memorial Scholar in English, and
_ Special Scholar in 1921-1922. In 1921 she

DR. STEWART DISCUSSES STORM
CENTERS AND THEIR PERILS
Germany is Bitter; Russia Crippled.
‘Hungary Very venoms
"AS you look at the map of rope,
there are four storm centers,” said Dr.
George Stewart, of the Madison Avenue
Presbyterian Church, speaking under the} *
auspices of the Christiah Association, in
Pembroke West _ Sitting Room, last
Thursday night: erate si pr engmaaiy
“There is the triangle between. Eng-
land and France and Germany, then Hun-
gary, Russia and the Near East. Their
quarrels rest on geographic and economic
difficulties. England is an_ industrial
country with a million- unemployed. As
one-third of her frade is with Germany,
she naturally wants to see her on her feet
again. France, on the other hand, is self-
supporting, and wants to: see Germany
kept down for the sake of security and
reparations.
“Germany is one of the great nations of
Europe today, when you consider her
high birth-rate, her disciplined population,
and her distinguished artistic and mili-
tary history. She is always to be recog-
nized. °
“The grodp mind is a myth. The Ger-
man people are not repentant.” They are
very bitter because of the violation of the
fourteen points, because of the blockade,
and_beca of the quartering of black
troops on the Rhine. .
“It. is almost a religion among young
Hungarians to restore the truncated re-
mains of old Hungary. It was shaved
away two-thirds, after the plebiscite ar-
ranged by the peace treaty.

PLAYED AT FOURTH CONCERT
Members of Phila. Orchestra With Mr.
Alwyne and Singer Perform
At the fourth concert of the series under
the auspices of the Music Department, in
Taylor Hall on Monday. evening, March
16, a delightful and finely balanced pro-
gram was presentéd, by Horace’ Alwyne,
Piano; Mardel Tabuteau, Oboe; Walter
Guetter, Bassoon; William Kincaid,
Flute; Daniel Bonade, Clarinet; Anton
Horner, Horn, and Baron Hesse von
Schencheney, Baritone, accompanied by
Agnes Clune Quinlan. Beginning with
Beethoven and ending with Honegger and
Roussel, , the. program was thoroughly
interesting; it included works by two
famous musical associates, Cesar Cui and
Rimsky-Korsakow, and songs by another
Russian composer, Taskin.
The large audience were particularly
enthusiastic over the Rhapsodie by Hon-
egger (for Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, and
Piano), with its very modern and _ in-
tensely complex rhythm, and the Diver-
tissement of Roussel (for Flute, Oboe,
Clarinet, Bassoon, Horn, and~ Piano),
which had a very beautiful part for Flute.
Baron von Schencheney in response to
the demands of his audience, sang an en-
core after his first group of songs, ‘and:
repeated the second part of a “Spanish
Serenade” at the end of his second group,
The program was as follows:

CONSTITUTION OF SELF GOVERN.
MENT CHANGED MARCH 18
Dress and Chaperone Rules Relaxed;
Studies Still Closed to Men
At a meeting of the Joint Undergradu-
ate and Self-Government Legislatures
held in the Chapel, Wednesday, March
18th, several rules*regarding undergradu-
e conduct were amended. ‘
The ‘Little Chop Houses were sided
| to the tist-of-places-where-one-may—dine-+
with men unchaperoned. H., Hough, ’25,
president of the Self-Government Asso-
ciation, announced that as long as there
was any doubt about the abvisability of}
adding the Russian Inn to this list the
board had decided not to suggest it.
She also announced that the Board of
Directors had approved the theatre rule
passed at the last meeting. Three or
more students may now go to the theatre
at night unchaperoned, except to the
Chestnut Street Opera House and the
Walnut Stréet Theatre. They approved
the amendment to the Constitution,
passdiat the last meeting, to increase
the size of the Executive Board. By the
new election rule any candidate receiv-
ing nominations to the number of 15
more than the sum of all the other nomi-
nations is considered elected.
The rule against taking a hitch or lift
will apply in the future only to students
in -parties of less than three. Hockey
skirts-may be worn in Cartref and. the
Infirmary.

to allow men in students’ rooms for three

YALE PROFESSOR DISTINGUISHES
BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD JAZZ
Emphasis on Shrieking Sensations is
Dangerous, Says Dr. Tweedy
“Tam no foe of jazz in general; jazz
of the right sort and in the right place,”
said the Rev. H. H. Tweedy, professor
of Practical Theology in Yale Univer-
sity, speaking in Sunday evening chapel
of March 22. “Good jazz is just an ex-
pression of rollicking youth, not intoxi-
; cated, but indulging in a perfectly legiti-
mate spree.”
The difficulty is that the modern world
is not confining itself to wholesome
forms, but is jazzing life itself. We
may apply this test: “Is this good or
bad jazz,-and ought it to be jazzed at
all?” Are syncopated hymns, jumbled
cubist paintings, meaningless free verse,
part of the advancing tide of human
progress or only its encumbering froth
and foam?
Even more dangerous is this sledge-
hammer emphasis on shrieking sensa-
tions. There are multitudes of mad, de-
structive apostles of jazz who cry that |.
no virtuous man can be an artist, that
right and wrong are meaningless words,
that truth is only the lie easiest to be-
lieve. 5
“T am warning you agairiet jazz, a spirit
in part vigorous and wholésome, in part
leprous, moribund; good, when it stands
for progress and a constructive future,
‘mocking, mad,
cynical and destructive, dancing on the
ruins of humanity’s Cathedral of
| Rheims.”

| SWARTHMORE GAME ie
DEFEAT FOR VARSITY
Red Team’s Superior Passing Turns
Their Time to Advantage. Play
Begins with Jenkinson
te
VARSITY GUARDING LIVELY
Varsity, outdistanced t Girysicaity and
technically, was beaten here 31-40, by the
Swarthmore team last Saturday. =
The first two baskets were made auto-
matically by Swarthmore. Their very tall
and accurate centre, Jenkinson, had the
ball aimed toward the red forward before
it came within jumping: distance of S. Mc-
Adoo, ’26.
brought the ball to Jolls at a good angle
with no time wasted.
With the score 2-0 in as many minutes,
Varsity adjusted itself to the game. * Jen-
mson directed the ball every jime, and
it was a scramble in the centre to keep
it away from the red forward. A long
hesitant pass down the field was lost on
a Varsity foul, and a “Swarthmore out”
sent the ball into the opposite goal.
The lively work of G. Leewitz, '26, in-
creasingly interfered with Swarthmore’s
prompt sure passing. Several times she
snapped the ball out of the air on its way
to Brown, and sent it back, via McAdoo,
26, and Jay, ’26, to be quietly dropped,
by the long arm of C, Remak, ’25, into the
Varsity goal. The direct obstruction of-
fered by G. Leewitz, ’26, and J. Huddles-
ton, '28, while delaying the throw of Jolls
and Brown, did. not, in general, divert
their aim.
In the third quarter, Varsity’s passing
improved. S. Walker, ’27, was on the ball
as soon as Jenkinson’s fingers left it. S.
McAdoo got it from her to send up in a
long pass to C.-“Remak, ’25, who stayed
by her goal.
.W. Dodd, ’26, was put in at the last and
worked a neat pass to F., Jay, ’26, who,
on three red fouls, had raised Varsity’s
score five points. The last valuable mo-
ments and points, however, belonged to
the reds.
The line-up was:
Bryn Mawr: C. Remak, '25°*#*##se+#:
F. Jay, '26********, S. McAdoo, '26; S.
Walker, ’27; G. Leewitz; ’26; J. Huddles-
ton, ’28. (W. Dodd, '26, for S. Walker,
27.)
Swarthmore: The Misses Brown,
FETESEERE, Jolls, AFESTSEOES. Jenkinson,
Robarts, Pollard, and Syostrom.
“ENOCH ARDEN” OF TENNYSON
AND STRAUSS TO BE GIVEN
Mr. Alwyne and Mr. King Will Give
Recital for Benefit of Drive
Mr. Alwyne and Mr. Sampel Arthur
King will repeat the performance of
“Enoch Arden,” Tennyson’s poem, with
piano. accompaniment, which was given
with such success two years ago, on April
6, in Taylor Hall, at 8.15, for the benefit
of the Music Department and Auditorium
Drive, The performance will be a remark-
able opportunity, both for undergraduates
and. for “people outside college, to hear a
superb recitation of “Enoch Arden,” with -
the very beautiful music of Richard
Strauss written for it. The accompani-
ment is based in a very interesting fashion
on a kind of leit-motif system, the
of the story being followed by eh
istic themes.
