fellowship ^Awarded to a Zeta Qirl

E LLEN ELOISE KEEFER of Lincoln was awarded a
fellowship of $1,000 by the national organization of
Alpha Omicron Pi. This fellowship is known as the Alpha
Omicron Pi Fellowship in memory of Ruth Capen Farmer
and is awarded every two years to a member of the sorority
who is a graduate of an institution where this sorority has
a chapter. Every alternate year the fellowship is open to
those who are graduates of the same institutions but not
members of Alpha Omicron Pi. The successful applicant
is not limited to any special field of work. She is considered
on the basis of her fitness for her chosen profession, her
attitude toward life, and her general needs and qualifications.

"Miss Elsie Ford Piper, assistant dean of women at the
University of Nebraska and chairman of the national fellowship committee states
that Miss Keefer was one of twenty-eight applicants from eighteen universities and
colleges who applied this year. She was selected by a committee of seven, one from
each district of the national sorority.

"Miss Keefer received her A.B. from the University of Nebraska in 1028, and
her M.A. in 1Q29. Her major subjects were history and music. She made a good
record as a student, and was well known on the campus. She is a member of
Mortar Board, Theta Sigma Phi and Pi Lambda Theta. She was on the Y.W.C.A.
cabinet, was vice president of A.W.S., an associate editor of the Cornhusker and
a member of the staff of the Daily Nebraskan. She is teaching music and history
this year in the high school at Kensington, Kansas. Miss Keefer plans to do her
graduate work at Columbia University working for a Ph.D. in history."

Elsie Ford Piper has sent a few more facts about Ellen Eloise. Her major interest
in history is in foreign relations and of this she says, " I hope to teach after I
have secured my degree or to do further work in research in foreign relations as
connected with the whole peace movement. I feel that it is time that more women
were becoming informed on foreign affairs and taking an active stand. I have
had journalistic training and hope to combine this with my major interest.

"The line of my greatest interest is educational. I wish to become so well
informed that I can be of a definite help in the education of others along lines
of world politics or world interests."
