DEATH OF KATHARINE REEVES. '19 Katharine Reeves. 1919. died at her house In West Philadelphia, on March 14th. of pneumonia. Miss Reeves was Charles E. Ellis scholar and was prepared at the West Philadelphia High School. She lived In Radnor Marian Clementine Kleps, 1916, holder of the highest average grade in the class, has been awarded the Bryn Mawr Euro- pean Fellowship and will be graduated magna cum laude. The announcement of the European Fellow and of the winners of the graduate European Fellowships, to- gether with the roll of honour of the Senior Class and the eleven Seniors graduating with distinction, were given in Chapel on Friday morning, March 17th, by President Thomas. European Fellow Very Young Miss Kleps' group is Latin and English and she was prepared by the Girls' High School, Philadelphia. She is just twenty years old. "Her age", said President Thomas in the course of her address, "would be approved by President Lowell of Harvard. In his last president's re- port he has made a study of the Harvard men who enter college at sixteen as com- pared with the Harvard men who enter at eighteen and has reached the conclu- sion that the man who enters the college youngest wins a greater proportion of ac- ademic honours than the man who enters older. This does not mean that if every- body entered college early the grade would be raised. It means only that an exceptional student is exceptional from the beginning. An exceptional student enters college before an ordinary student because she possesses th* kind of ability that will mark her out In college". Graduate Fellowship* The Anna Ottendorfer Memorial Re- search Fellowship In German and Teu- tonic Philology was awarded to Ruth Perkins, of Ahington. Massachusetts. Miss Perkins took her A.B. at Wellesley in 1912, her A.M. at Radcllffe In 1913. and has been doing graduate work at Bryn Mawr for the last two years, scholar in German. 1914-15; fellow In German, 1915-16. "She is particularly well equipped", said President Thomas, "for the study of German philology. She has the advantage of also having studied Anglo-Saxon. The Teutonic dialects In which she has made a beginning ace Old High German, Middle High German, and Norse". "The next fellowship", continued Presi- dent Thomas, "the Mary Elisabeth Gar- j rett European Fellowship, which is given j in the second year of graduate study at Bryn Mawr, has been already given twenty-two times. The faculty has nomi- nated Elisabeth Beatrice Daw. Like Miss Perkins, Miss Daw represents a number of different colleges. She Is A.B., Vas sar. 1909; A.M., University of Pennsylva-. nia, 1910, and has been a Fellow in Eng- llsh at Bryn Mawr for the last two years. Her special work Is English and the sub- jects that she is studying In connection with It are old French Philology and f French Literature". The President's European Fellowship j was awarded this year In Geology to Helen Mornlngstar, of Columbus. Ohio.: Miss Mornlngstar is a graduate of Ohio State University: A.B.. 1913; A.M.. 1915; and is now a Fellow in Geology at Bryn Mawr. In speaking of her work. Presi- dent Thomaa said. "When we send abroad Miss Mornlngstar, we are sending a scien- tific woman who ha* already given prom l*e of the power to do independent re- ^ search work in *clence". DRAMA TOO PICTORIAL Mr. Houaman Criticise* Modern Stagecraft "The drama", said Mr. Lawrence Hous- i man Saturday evening in his lecture on 'The Moral and Immoral Influence of the j Drama', "has shifted from the plastic to I the pictorial, with a consequent loss of j reality. We must subordinate our back- ground and revert to the plastic repre- sentation of the past". In .defining "too pictorial". Mr. Houa- man explained that the drama is pri- marily Intellectual in appeal; it should not depend on costumes and scenery. "The fault of the modern drama", he said,- "is that it over-visualizes in the direction of illusion, and undermentalizes. It is mere pictorial chatter; we think too little and see too much. Dramatic reality cre- ates its own illusion; modern scenery chucks It at your hesd st so much per yard". Living Drama of the Past "The drama to be real", he went on, "must be spontaneous as the Elizabethan or traditional as the Greek. The stage limitations of those times were really as- sets. The Greeks had no sharp division between actors and audience. The ad- vantage of a conventional background Is (Continued on Pagt 3) NO ONE FOR BOTH FOURTH ORAL8 ASSESSMENT MOTION LOST Infirmary to Be Screened by Voluntary Contributions As a result of the third orals, no one will have to take both French and Ger- man In May. Ten people are left, three for French and seven for German, but all of those taking French have passed Ger- man and vice versa. The statistics of the third orals for the last three years are as follows: French 1914 1915 1916 Passed .... 14 10 12 Failed ..... 2 9 3 Merit........ 1 German Passed ___ 14 22 10 Failed ..... 4 5 7 At a meeting of the Undergraduate As- sociation last Thurseday the motion to assess all the members of the College 50 cents to screen the Infirmary was lost, but a motion was passed to raise the money by voluntary contribution. This first motion passed a meeting two weeks ago, but, according to the consti- tution, any assessment of more than 25 cents must pass two meetings before it can go into effect. The motion of as- sessment was not passed because it was felt to be the beginning of a new prece- dent by which, In the future, the College might call upon the Undergraduate Asso- ciation to furnish or repair the buildings at any time. But since the College 1b again in debt this year and the need for screens Is so pressing, It was voted that the Advisory Board consider paying for them by contribution. A motion was also passed that the rules of the Association should be read st the same time as that of the constitution, within the first month of the first sem- ester of each year. The Association also voted to send to the family of Katharine Reeves, '19, a res- olution expressing sympathy and sorrow at her death.

MASEFIELD WILL NOT COME BACK John Masefleld will not pay a second visit to Bryn Mawr to award the Mase- fleld prizes, for on Frldsy, March 17th. he sailed from New York for England. The famous English pcet was given a farewell ovation the day before he sailed by an audience of 2000 In the University of Pennsylvania gymnasium. Mr. Mase- fleld did not give a formal lecture, but told tales of "Bill", a sailor friend of his before the mast. Mr. Masefleld is returning to continue his work among the wounded on the Eu- ropean battlefields. Like old Mother Hubbard who found her cupboard bare, the Alumna? and Var- sity water-polo teams found an empty pool when they were ready to begin the game on Saturday. Among the sugges- tions which were offered for filling the pool rapidly was to run water from the fire hose In, but this was considered slightly cold and any one who saw the stream on the campus at a recent drill will know that it is of a dark, muddy color. Mr. Foley encouragingly said that by 8 o'clock he could have three feet of water. As no possible solution for the difficulty could be found, the two teams played a game of basket-ball.
