Eebication ELMER BERRY, B.S., M.P.E. ROFESSOR BERRY was born near Lincoln, Neb., on October 9, 1879. When about live or six years of age his parents moved to Northwestern Kansas, traveling in a prairie schooner. As soon as Elmer was old enough he was sent to school, the building being of sod and the school teacher being the wife of one of the pioneers. Some years later his parents moved back again to Nebraska. Here he finished his country school education. He was always ambitious and eager to learn and would allow nothing to stand in the way of his advancement, once he had made up his mind to do any particular thing. His father was always in sympathy with boys and their sports. Young Elmer always had his Saturday afternoon off, when he would go to town and play baseball and other games. He organized and captained a baseball team that was a winner. His father felt the handicap of a lack of education and always said that if his youngsters wanted an education, he would do all in his power to help them and would not stand in their way. VVhen Elmer had finishedigrammar school he was urged to attend the pre- paratory department of the University of Nebraska at Lincoln. His parents sacrihced many things to let him go, in fact they made it possible for him to secure his education through giving up many necessities of life. Mr. Berry affirms that he owes all to his parents and their sacrifices and pays them a high tribute. He took the two years' preparatory work and then the four years of University work. For a couple of years, during hard times and poor crops, his mother used to drive back with him in the fall to the University to save train fare, and get him again when he returned home for the holidays. At this time his sister was at- tending sehool and they boarded themselves, their parents send- ing in supplies of food from the farm. During the latter part of his University course, his parents moved to Western Nebraska, and at this time they endured great hardships to allow Elmer to keep on with his studies. He worked nearly all his way through by helping on the University farm on Saturdays and by being an assistant instructor in the gymna.sium during the latter part of his course. 6 .
