I if 5' Ili! W! Q15 f is 4 X HE last few years have brought about a more rapid growth in the Graduate School than in the University proper. The number of its students Cnow one hundred and fortyl, is almost three limes what it was live, years ago. The quantity of special gradu- ate work offered by the various departments has increased perhaps as much. This prog- ress in the Graduate School lessens a heretofore striking difference between the Univer- sity of Nebraska and older institutions. The well established University lays great stress on its graduate work, and the standing of a school is largely determined by the value of its higher degrees. More and more is being thoughtof an education higher than that which leads to a bacheloris degree. Perhaps, in America, we are approaching conditions existing in German universities, where none but higher degrees are granted. indeed, there is some such question now being agitated. Witliiii the last Lwo years there has been a concerted activity among the graduate students as a body. There is now a strong Graduate Club, belongirg to the Federation of Graduate Clubs, which consists of societies from all the most important universities and colleges in the United States. Last year our Hrst Gmn'zmz'e fJ7Z!ffL'fI.!I was published. It was such a success that hereafter it is to be published twice during the school year. It is useful, not only as an advertisement for the University and its Graduate School, but through it the Librarian makes many exchanges for other such publications in America and Europe. This Spring the University, and the Graduate School in particular, will feel the loss of Dean Edgren when he leaves to assume new duties i11 Sweden. Not only has he been an inspiration on account of his reputation as one of the world's scholars, but on account of present achievement. He is constantly putting out products of his own re- search work, being a most practical head of a school whose object is to foster research work and produce what shall add to 1l1611iS enlightenment.

SENIORS HE year 1900 opened up for us with an election, and as a result of the agitation Lucian J. Marsh came out as President, Edna Wetzel, Vice-President, Emma Neid- hart, Secretary, and Swallow, Treasurer. During the reign of these oihcers occurred the renowned battle of the Greeks over the junior Promenade. When the noise of the con- flict had died away it was found that Hal H. Roberts had come olf victorious as Chair- man, and Tukey was assured of his position as Master of Ceremonies. Again the sound of political thunder was raised and the contestants struggled right violently, until at last, as leader of his hosts, L. H. McKellip was made President, with Katherine McLaughlin, Vice-President, Edith Jackson, Secretary, and Lucien J. Marsh, Sergeant-at-Arms. During the whole year the Class of 1900 had been arrogant and boastful. We had been quietly trying to teach them better. A cap disappearing now and then, or a cane missing, seemed to have no general eifect on the class. So when, on the day of Hon. W. I. Bryan's famous address at the University, the Seniors disturbed the entire city as well as the University, and even desecrated the chapel with their clamor and childish chatter andactions, we rose in our might and taught them that they were not the only class in the University, that, although we were long suffering and kind, yet when patience ceased to be a virtue we could arise and assert the common justice of all with a strong hand. Their banner and vainly-hoped-for impregnable line went down pat the first charge. Their forces were left in pieces on the field. I When we assembled in our last year on the boards at the Uni. play l1ouse, we de- termined to continue in our usual quiet, unobtrusive way, and began by electing T. J. Hewitt President, H. McClenahan, Vice-President, Florence Howell, Secretary, and McKellip to guard our councils. We did not elect aTreasurer, as that office was entirely unnecessary. On the football Held we proved that we were men worthy to meet all comers. The active campaign for graduation began. Hats and canes for boys, hats, caps, and gowns for girls were decided on as the regalia. We continued to outnumber our foes at each new advance. When again we met in council of war we chose J. S. Swenson as President, Rosaline Hess as Vice-President, Lena Anthony as Secretary, and E. E. Brackett as Treasurer, with T. I. Hewitt as General Lookout. Since H brevity is the soul of wit, we shall forbear an account of the notable Pie Feed, where the hungry Juniors were able to view the good things only from afar, the renewal of the time-honored league with the Sophomoresg the Senior party, where not a Senior failed to attend because of juniors, of the Hag of 1901, which stood the test, and of the unlucky juniors who had to pay the debt which their betters incurred. However modest We may be, we must insist that we are at the head of the University-that there are no others like us. -25-
