CONANT UPHOLDS SCHOLARSHIP IDEA President of Harvard Ad- dresses Alumni at Club Dinner. Privately-endowed institutions have a common duty with State universi- ties to provide the best possible educa~ tion for the Nations promising and ambitious youths, without regard to their financial status, Dr. James Bryant Conant, president of Harvard, declared last night at a dinner held in his honor at the Washington Hotel by the local Harvard Club. He urged establishment of selective gcholarships, such as has been done to some degree at Harvard, to af- ford this opportunity to persons de-~ sirous and worthy of higher educa- tion. Differing from State universities, | however, private colleges have the peculiar function of offering their facilities o -students from a wide geographical arca, Dr. Conant stated. Draws From Other Sections. He said Harvard already is edu- eating many boys from outside its own geographical section, both in its | college and its graduate schools. { “It is my desire to increase further the number of students who come from outside New England and in particular to make available our edu- cational opportunities to those whoj would like to come to us from &} distance but have little or no rcadyl money,” said the educator. With this in mind, Harvard has‘ yevised its scholarship policy and es- tablished for a period of years the Harvard College Prize Fellowships in Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin, the club was told. Dr. Conant added that these fellowships will be extended to Towa and Kentucky next year, and» that he hopes eventually may be ex- | tended to the entire country. Four-Year Study Permissible. The fellowship, which is awarded on a merit basis, year's study, and, if the student proves for three more years.

HERE'S a fellow we admire who lives in the vicinity of Eighteenth street and Colum- bia road. We've never seen him and never will. But we like him. We realize he’s & man of action—an im- pulse obeyer—a man who sees what to do and does it—bang-bang, just like that. We imagine him to be a man who won't allow his sleep to be dis- turbed—a man with true artistic taste and a foe of dilly-dallying. We came to these conclusions re- cently as we walked along the side- walk beneath his window. For there, on the pavement before us, its squall- ings and croakings silenced for all time, lay a smashed radio set. Happier than before, we walked on whistling what might be our hero's favorite tune, “Out the Window You * % X ¥ D. A. R. MEMORIES. HE D. A.

Then there was that host of per-| plexed-looking men who did & lot of sightseeing during the convention and saw a good many motion pictures. | them, with a sort of Spartacus look, venturing into a session of the D. A. | R, always with a glance-this-way- | and-thn expression. One particularly typifies them. He handed a member of the House Com- mittee a ticket to enter a night session, and, with a note of futility in his voice, whispered, “Just another ‘ husband.” | And what confusion amid the House | Committee on Doors Wednesday mghl | just before the Pages’ ball. ‘Washington was a funnel that; ! poured youths to the gala affair. We | | quote the reminiscence of one mem- | ber of the buzzing Door Committee: | “All I did was hunt pages for boy | friends. One good-looking youth | wanted ‘Marion’ Another stuck out a piece of paper, saying, ‘Where'll I 1flnd her? I can't pronounce her last name, but she’s swell”” It will be a long time before we for- get the delegates singing lustily to the tune of “The Last Roundup”—“Git | along, all you Daughters, git along.” * Ok Kk ‘ | A BIT OF HISTORY. i NE feature of the D. A. R. con= vention took place when Wil- liam Tyler Page told how he wrote “The American's Creed.” One Saturday in May, 1917, a friend asked him why he didn't enter the National creed contest. Leaving church the next morning, with the echoes of the Apostles’ Creed ringing in his ears, he thought of it again. A oational creed should be similar, but shorter. There were 109 words in the Apostles’ Creed and in the first draft of the American’s Creed, Page required 137 words to handle his idea. | After leisurely tinkering., he com- pleted his Creed in August, 1917. In March of the following year he was informed he had won the $1,000 prize, which was presented to him by Mayor James H. Preston of Baltimore on April 3, 1918, in the House Office Building here in Washington. | Three days later Page used the | | prize money to buy the first of the | | Liberty Bonds in the Third Liberty Loan drive on the front steps of the Capitol. * K | | THIS MONKEY BUSINESS. ' | ¥T'S NOT “monkey” business when | one monkey examines another. Visitors at the monkey house | in Zoo Park often have seen monkeys | carefully plucking away at the fur of | each other, as though searching for | vermin. In fact, the impression hu‘ been rather widespread that such is the case. But zoologists insist it isn't so.
