Miss Laura Drake Gill, chairman of the
General Federation's education committee,
has issued the following formal announce
ment which will be especially gratifying
to Nebraska club women:
Miss Juliet Stuart Points Of New York
has been awarded the English scholarship lp
of the General Federation of Women's
Clubs. This is the first scholarship ever
granted to an American woman under the
exact forms Of competition by which the
Rhodes scholars are chosen from among
our American men.
While the Officers of the Rhodes trust
were generous enough to examine the can
didates for the federation scholarship, yet
they have no responsibility for scrutiny

the so-called highest promise to distinc-
tion" among those candidates who have
successfully passed the qualifying exami-
nations.
petition-six of these women took the full
from each Of the states
of Alabama, California Iowa, Minnesota,
While Miss Points has clearly won her
supremacy, and thereby receives an award
of $1,000 for years study in England
for the coming academic year OF 1901,
yet she has had an able second in the
candidate from Ohio. Miss Mary Treudey
of Athens, graduate of Ohio university
in the class of 1906 and at present a grad
uate student in the University of Chicago.
The third in standing, who also deserves
recognition for her attainment in the ex-
aminations, is Miss Lillian Matherson
Lotspeich OF the University of Alabama.
The competition has genuinely proved to
be a national one. as these facts show.
Miss Points. the successful candidate,
was born in Omaha in 1885, fitted for col
lege in the public schools of Jersey City,
graduated from Barnard college in 1907,
worked for two years under the United
States commission of immigration, and Is
now teaching in the department Of history
of Barnard college and completing her
work for the doctorate of philosophy. Her
research in England will deal with the in
dustrial revolution of the last century
and its bearing upon the labor of women.
