It was recalled in official League cir

American reservation, touching on ad-
visory opinions. especially invited the
United States to pursue the negotia-
tions, but that since then no official
word has come from Washington.
officials emphasize that the League
will welcome an expression of American
views and desires. Switzerland has in
augurated a movement to determine
whether the Council should ask advisory
opinions by a majority or unanimous
vote.

would facilitate American adhesion, be-

FELLOWSHIP FUND
University Women in Drive
to Reward Independent
Research Work.

Under the direction of its executive
secretary, Miss Belle Rankin. who has
just returned from a meeting of the
board of directors in Milwaukee, the
American Association of University
Women is carrying on a Nationwide
ship fund to endow research fellowships
subscribed from all over the country
and by the early Spring the Washing
ton branch of the association expects
to add contribution of $1,000.
These fellowships, of which there
will be about 80, are to be awarded
to women who have distinguished
themselves in their particular lines of
work ard have shown that they pos
sesS the ability to do independent re-
search work. They will carry an en-
dowment of from ST. 200 to $500 each
and opportunity for continued study in
the university. either here or abroad,
which offers the best facilities for the
special research work which is being
undertaken.
Outlines Plan Of Awards.
In aware ng the fellowships the trus-
tees will not single out any particular
branch of study, but will endeavor to
give them to women of high intellec-
tual achievement. who possess the quail
ltles most essential for research and
creative work.
At present there is a lack of out
standing scholars in this country. Dean
Virginia Gildersleeve of Barnard, chair
man of the advisory committee of the
100000 fund, has pointed out that
this Is due to scarcity of funds for
research rather than to any scarcity of
ability. Every year several hundred
brilliant woman students are forced,
through economic reasons, to give I'D
their ambition of doing creative work.
In 1927 there were 166 applicants, all
OF them highly qualified women, for
the II fellowships which the Amer
ican Association of University Women
has in its power to award. The field
In which the applicants wished to
pursue, advanced study included art
archaeology. classics, economics, educa-
ton, English literature, foreign Ian
g1lages, mathematics, music. medicine
philosophy. psychology, public health
science, sociology and theology. The
association was forced, through lack OF
funds. to deny the opportunity for
further advanced study of 154 women
