GOLF INSTRUCTOR,
GIVE*S ITE I
Golf, which is fast becoming as
great a social requirement as;
bridge or dancing, cannot be learn-
ed simply by taking a few lessons
from some high-priced profession-
al, according to Miss Ella McCor-
mick, instructor in golf for women
of the Univdrsity.
"Skill isyneeded besides mere
lessons, says Miss McCormick, and
this comes only from constant
practice.
"Freshnn women now have an
excellent chance to develop their
golf during their, four years of col-
lege life, due to the new ruling
which allows them to participate
in this sport during their first year
and continue , the sport through
their four years of college.
A tournament with breakfast
served on th golf course is being
planned for either this fall or next
spring, according to Miss McCor-
mick. Last year such a tourna-
ment was held for the first time,
and Martha Fourbes at that time
announced as the winner of the
tournament with a score of 101..
Mrs. Stewart Hanley, who was
last year women's state champion,
is planning to visit the University
to help in instructing golf again
this year.
who, as their instructors, super-t
vise and contribute to such class-
room discussions," Professor Nel-
son warned. "A man like Steward
Sherman of Illinois, who died re-
cently, did much of his open-mind-
edness to pave the way for Carl
Sandberg. Such men as Sherman
wield a great influence over the
literary minds of the nation. At
the same time, because they 'come
so recently from the ultra-conser-
vative school, they bring with them
a steadiness which is of great im-
portance to the modern school of
literature.
"Nor should the work of Irving
Babbit, and Paul Elmer More, both
Harvard men who -represent the
ultra-conservative school, be over-
looked," cautioned Professor Nel-
son, "for their personalities, and
the clear depths of their thoughts
play a great influence on modern
literature. Again, I say students
should value instruction received
through the class-room discussions
of such men as these three.

Freshmen and other entering
women were entertained by W. A.
A. yesterday afternoon at the new
Field House.
The occasion was a tea given in
the reception room for the purpose
of introducing the entering women
to the Advisers of Women. The
party was very informal and bridge
and dancing provided entertain-
ment.
The staff of the physical educa-
tion department and other mem-
bers of the faculty were present.
Those who are interested in class
or intra-mural teams had the
privilege of talking and becoming
acquainted with the various in-
structors who will direct athletics
throughout the year.
About 150 women were present
at the tea.k
Her elder sister, also gifted, had
in the meantime entered "small
time" vaudeville, and after a time
Rosa left the New Haven hotel,
joined her sister, and together
they traveled from coast to coast
on the Keith circuit for about
three years, eventually becoming
reigning favorites. This was an-
other invaluable lesson for Rosa,
because on the vaudevilleystage,
she became versed in the ways and
traditions of the stage, and was
ready when the big opportunity
came to her to bid for the highest
honors within the gift of musical
America.
Caruso himself became interest-
ed in her ability, suggested her to
Gatti-Casazza, and the resulting
audition ended in Miss Ponselle's
signing "on the dotted line" for a
contract for an operatic role. With
