By the Associated Press. NORTHAMPTON, Mass,, February 15.—Miss Anne ncer Morrow earned the distinction of being the outstanding undergraduate poet while at Smith Col- lege, where she was graduated last year. Following in the footsteps of her mother, Elizabeth Cutter Morrow, who also at- tended Smith, she devoted to poetry the tame usually bestowed upon ath- letics or social activities. Last year she won the Mary Augusta Jordan prize, given annually by the alumnae to a senior for the most origi- nal piece of- literary work in either prose or verse, Miss Morrow won the prize with a poem written for the Smith College Monthly, of which she was an editor. Mother Also Writes Poetry. During her junior year a series of poems appeared regxhrly in the maga- zine, which brought her high praise from competent critics of the faculty. Her mother before her won similar at- tention and has since contributed oc- casionally to magazines. Miss Morrow’s literary work was by no means confined to poetry. Her in- terest in eighteenth century French and English literature prompted her to write an essay upon the women of the time of Dr..Samuel Johnson, which won her the Elizabeth Montague prize. Her poem, “Height,” follows: When I was young I felt so small And frightened, for the world was tall, And even grasses seemed to me A forest of immensity. Until I learned that I could grow, A glance would leave them far below. Spanning a tree’s height with my eye, Suddenly I seemed as high. And fixing on a star I grew, I pushed my head against the blue. Still, like a singing lark, I find Rapture to leave the grass behind. And sometimes, standing in a crowd. My lips are cool against a cloud. For her graduating class at Smith College, she wrote the following: IVY DAY BSONG. Ivy we plant, remembe: these, All beauties here "flfll i Purple of hill and btu{‘h:k' boughs It isn’t just a question of sending you the best we've got—for we won't have here to send any but the best in beef, lamb, veal, pork, poultry, Partridge Brand hams, Jones’ Farm little pig sausage, etc.—but welll select the particular cut you want—and prepare it properly for your cooking.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ©, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1929 Against December skies. Hour of trailing willow lace Reverently we name And white April burning out In chestnut-candle flame. Patterned on a twilight slope, Shadows on the grass, And after dark along the walks Laughter and steps that pass. Not ours alone, we leave to you Shadows and hills and trees; We plant the ivy here today Remembering these. Another of her undergraduate poems follows: REMEMBRANCE. Your hands have curved about this 1 bowl. Your lips have left a kiss upon this teacup’s rim. Frail and inanimate things that can outlast your beauty. Have lthcy no memory of you singing About them, echoes of your melody, If I might catch my breath and bow my head to hear? Do their bright surfaces remember not 8o faint and tremulous flutter of the Wwings Of light and shade and color that were you? No print of touch, no perfume lingering That beauty’'s ghosts joined hand to| hand might serve As beauty’s self, refashioning your love- liness for me? Mute bowl! Mute cup! 1 might as vainly ask ‘The scent of some late jonquil to recall lost April. “Dublin Cycle,” a miracle play trans- lated from the Gaelic, was produced by the Harvard Dramatic Club December 19 and 20. AROSS BONDED DIAIX)IIQND ol EDUCATOR SAYS U. S. SAFE AS DEMOCRACY Dr. Edwin Mims Declares Many Pioneer Adventurers Keep Alive American Traditions. By the Assoclated Press. ATLANTA, Ga., February opinion that the world tendency in government is away from democracy, but that the democratic Government of the United States is secure in the hands of present leaders, was expressed last night by Dr. Edwin Mims of Van- derbilt University, in an address before 15.—An the Southeastern cltizenship conference | here. g “There are many adventurous, pio- neering leaders in this country today who are keeping alive one of the main traditions of American life—the spirit of initiative, of self-reliance, of experl- ment,” he sald. “In arlu of the complacency and su- perficial optimism and conservatism of the average American on the one hand and the skepticism, disillusionment and pessimism of many intellectuals and artistic people on the other hand, such men are blazing trails, bringing fresh material for the solution of old and new problems. “As long as that is true, American democracy is safe.” Couple Gets License to Wed.
