ward Mems Dancing.

Cambridge, Mass, June 6.-Stu-
dents at Radcliffe are aroused over
the statement made by Mrs. Laura
Chandler of this city that of all wom-
ems colleges, Radcliffe harbors about
the poorest dancers.
Mrs. Chandler has been teaching
Harvard men. the art of dancing for
the last rs years, and her ire was
stirreds over a recent editorial pub
Iished in The Radcliffe Magazine,
which charged that college men and
those of Harvard in particular were
poor dancers and should take lessons
in department.
Mrs. Chandler say in part:
1T is absurd for the Radcliffe girls
t. write such articles. claiming hat
the Harvard men should take dancing
lessons in order to themselves
with becoming department on the
dancing floor. 1t is likewise absurd
for them to talk of the men doing the
Bunny Hug and the Grizzly Bear
Such dances as these are not in n
of our respectable dance halls.
Harvard men have the distinct rep
utation of being the best dancers CT
any group of young men in this coun-
try. The Radcliffe girls have the wide
reputation for being about as poor
dancers as there are in any of
the woman colleges of this part of the
country"
