Rely on Scholarships
50% of B. M. European Fellows
Depend on Scholarships
for Education
WIN ENTRANCE AWARDS
Statistics show that fifty per cent,
of the European Fellows and seven-
ty-three per cent, of those doing the
best work in their major subjects
from 1914 to 1932 would have been
unable to go^tfirough college without
the aid of scholarships. It also seems
to be a significant fact that of the
twenty European Fellows in the
years 1914 to 1932, only one had
held or won ho previous scholarships
| in college. Fifteen had won the Ma-
ria L. Eastman Brooke Hall Memo-
rial Scholarship for the highest av-
erage in all work done through the
(Junior year, and seven had won the
Charles S. Hinchman Memorial Schol-
arshop for the most excellent work
in their major subjects.
Eight had been Matriculation Schol-
ars on entering; three had won the
Sheelah Kilroy Memorial Scholarship
in English; and two the Elizabeth
Duane Gillespie Scholarship in Amer-
ican History. Two had won Eliza-
beth S. Shippen Scholarships, one in
Science and one in Foreign Lan-
guages, and one of the Sheelah Kil-
roy Scholars also won the Horace
White Prize in Greek Literature.
Three had enterd on Alumnae Reg-
ional Scholarships, two on Trustees'
Scholarships, and one on a Philadel-
phia City Scholarship. Four had
held the James Rhoads Scholarship in
! their Sophomore year, and five in
their Junior year. Of the ten Fel-
lows who held scholarships through
College, all but two won the Maria
L. Eastman Brooke Hall Scholarship,
With SwatthniOre, 3-2 and seven won the Charles S. Hinch-
man  Scholarship.
In. the years 1918 to 1933, there
have been twenty-six Charles S.

Faculty Show Evokes Unrestrained Applause
and Laughter From Appreciative Audience
Show Comparable to Democratic National Convention in Effer-
vescent   Enthusiasm;   Warburg
Praised for Verve
REPETITION  RECOMMENDED   EVERY   FOUR   YEARS
(Especially contributed -by. Miritnit
Dodge, except for the Warden's Skit,
which was reviewed by J. E. Han-
nan.)
A hardened theatre-goer, I have
never witnessed such an ovation as
greeted the Faculty Show last Wed-
nesday night. As a matter of fact,
the closest this old traveler has ever
come to experiencing anything of the
sort wae last summer at the Demo-
cratic National Convention, when no
amount of heat and crowd could re-
duce the public ardor for the man in
the brown derby. The cultivated
gentleman who has since become the
hero of this volatile nation was ob-
viously a put-up job and met with a
calculated reception�but not so "the
people's Al!" Buxom belles and
creatures whom I can scarcely call
gentlemen vied with each other for
yelling-space. Faces were stepped
on, but the marvelous wave of sound
swept on and filled the huge stadium
to its farthest corners, with the ef-
fervescence of enthusiasm about
something, about anything�it didn't
matter. The expression was its own
excuse. No one could speak definite-
ly of the future, but the genial little
man with the red face was the pro
pie's chosen symbol of their un-
quenchable interest in living. I hope
Dr. Fenwick will not mind my com-
paring him with Mr. Smith, but his
entrance with the balloons really
seemed to inspire us in like manner.
Title notwithstanding, I think the
Faculty Show made the student body
toss the cap of its admirable restraint
over the mill completely. And the
stimulus was much needed; I can
only hope that it was the opening
shot of the war that I have been on
the point of declaring these several
years.
On the eventful evening, the wel-
coming shouts of the audience were
finally checked by the winning master
of ceremonies. And here I can do
no better than felicitate Mr. War-
burg, whose inimitable verve nevci
flagged for a moment throughout the
evening and completely obviated the
pauses inevitable in the most brilliant
amateur revue. With Mr. Warburg
at the helm, there was never a mo-
ment of ennui, and we will cherish
the information that shredded wheat
calls imperatively for cream, and the
timely advice about the riddance, of
mice. And I could never tire of the
wistful and gaping goldfish. But the
audience took Mr. Warburg to, its
bosom and he needs no futher com-
mendation from me. One thing I
should like to know�is that a spe-
pecially-tailored suit? And might I
venture to suggest that he try Harpo
Marx next?
When the curtains parted, the
opening chorus was greeted with
cheers. The assembled multitude was
apparelled in sombre cap and gown,
but they were engaged in an unfa-
miliar performance, which proved to
be a gay parody of Gilbert and Sulli-
van. Their song was infused with a
feeling for unity, never attained by
the prosaic hirelings of Of Thee I
Sing. Mrs. Tennent sang the solo
part with grace and contagious spirit,
so that benevolence spread to the au-
dience, and the mood for the eve-
ning was definitely established.
When Mr. Warburg pulled back
those beautiful red curtains with the
assurance of a magician about to �pro-

duce a series of animals from his
hat, the atmosphere was electric�
but none was quite prepared for the
appearance of Miss Park in a black
velvet evening gown. Previous dis-
plays faded into insignificance, for
the audience went berserk. Duse's
most inspired public never offered a
better demonstration, I feel sure.
Nothing  less  than  a   Delphic  utter-
j ance  was  expected  at  that   moment
I from our president, whose response,
however, was as unpredictable as
genius. When she could be heard,
she did render a Greek song, not a
classical number, but a catchy tune
learned from a muleteer. * It had
great   charm   and   its   sweetness   of
I tone  should  place  it  among the  old
j favorites.
Mr. King was the next feature on
| thf program, and Mr. Warburg care-
j fully enunciated Mr, Samuel Arthur,
'� so   that   no   one   should   mistake   him
i for the artist of our magnificent post-
lers or any other of that proud fam-
� ily.    Mr.  Samuel  Arthur King then
gave us a narrative poem, using such
I a  variety of  gesture,  in addition  to
! his  expressive  voice,  that  no  subtle
shade of meaning was left undefined,
The  coat-tail   motif was  particularly
i provocative.

As for the Men's Quartet, compris-
ing Messr.s. Herbon, Blanchard,
Watson and Turner, I can only say
that we were all horrified at the type
and tint of the sheets which those
gentlemen were perusing. Our faith
in their integrity was only partially
restored by the round from the col-
lege catalogue with which they fav-
ored us.
The Buildings and Grounds skit
was one of the cleverest of the eve-
ning. Mrs. Smith wore a handsome
costume, very Red-queenish, and her
lines were extremly amusing, while
Dr. Smith and Dr. David were ap-
pealing in their impersonations of
workers on the old plantation. Dr.
Di"Z was impressive as the effulgent

looking statue we have ever laid eyes
