Helene and Cecile Rubel Graduate
Fellowship Goes to D. Burr,
1921's Eur6pean fellow
UPPER    TEN    ANNOUNCED
Emily Pepper Watts is the thirty-sixth
European Fellow?~SrTe graduates magna
cum laude with 2*5 .honor points (274
on 111 hours if her advanced standing
is counted). She is the first European
Fellow with the group of English and
French.
Miss Watts was prepared at Miss Ma-
deira's School, Washington, D. C, and
at the Shipley School. Bryn Mawr. She
has been the holder of the Sheelah Kil-
roy Scholarship, the English Prize and
the Brook Hall Scholarship.
Last Friday in chapel Miss Park an-
nounced the fellowship awards. Doro-
thy Burr, of Philadelphia, Bryn Mawr,
1923, summa cum laude, received the
Helene and Cecil Rubel Fellowship;
Mary Albertson, of Magnolia, N. J.,
Bryn Mawr, 1915, cum laude, received
the Garrett European Fellowship. Rosa-
mond Tuve, of Minneapolis, graduate
scholar in English, Bryn Mawr, 1924-25,
received the President M. Carey Thomas
Fellowship, while the Bryn Mawr Eu-
ropean Fellowship went to Emily Watts,
'25, who will graduate magna cum laude.
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-
slyp 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 Nationalistic
an-c
"As you look at the map of KWope
there are four storm centers," said Dr.
George   Stewart, of the  Madison Avenue
Presbyterian Church, speaking under thei ^8th, several rules? regarding undergradu-
auspiccs of the Christian Association, irt
Pejuhroke Wist Silting Room, last
Thursday night.
"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 trade 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 group 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 became 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.

he Little Chop Houses were added
to "the list of places where one may dine
with men unchaperoned. H. Hough, '25,
president of the Self-Government Asso-

board had decided not to  suggest it.
She also announced that the Board of

YALE PROFESSOR DISTINGUISHES
BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD JAZZ

technically, was beaten here 31-40, by the
Swarthmore  tearii last Saturday.

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 presented, 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:
Quintet    ......................Beethoven

Horn)
Emphasis on Shrieking Sensations is
Dangerous, Says Dr. Tweedy
COMTINUED ON PACE 5

"I am 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 wcong are meaningless words,
that truth is only the lie easiest to be-
lieve.
"I am warning you against jazz, a spirit
in part vigorous and wholesome, in part
leprous, moribund; good when it stands
for progress and a constructive future,
bad when it becomes mocking, mad,
cynical and destructive, dancing on the
ruins of humanity's Cathedral of
Rheims."
and accurate centre, Jenkinson, had the
ball aimed toward the red forward before
it came within jumping distance of S. Mc-
Adoo, '26. A brisk centre-forward pass
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-
tauson directed the ball every JUM, 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. Lecwitz, '26, in-
creasingly interfered with Swarthmore's
prompt sure passing. Several times she
snapped the hall out of the air on its way
to Brown, and sent it back, via McAdoo,
'26, and Jay, '2l>, 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 Jcnkinson'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, ����** � '����j
F. Jay, �26**��"��; S. McAdoo, '26; S.
Walker, '27; G. Leewitz; '26; J. Huddles-
ton, '28. (W. Dodd. '26, for S. Walker,

'ENOCH ARDEN" OF TENNYSON
AND STRAUSS TO BE GIVEN
Mr. Alwyne and Mr. King Will Give
Recital for Benefit of Drift
Mr. Alwyne and Mr. Samuel 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 people
I of the story being followed by character-
istic themes.
