As I look back 3, , A ,g and compare the present with the conditions of say ten f1 l gQ,3 Q 1 'Q or iifteen years ago, I marvel at the advance that has 1 Q , been made in nearly every direction. Vices then common , are now conspicuous as rare exceptions. Animosities en- ij J . gendered by political bickering and mutual distrust have greatly diminished. There is a better spirit of good will pill 1: ge 4 and democracy among the students. The poor student, who 'fi' 2 5' must make his own way, and succeeds is now the one , i Miki most highly honored among his fellows. 'V , Greater attention is being paid to scholarship, for the IL 1 ' ' students seem to realize more and more that success in iw' .5 i life can be built only on a solid foundation. Hand in hand VT Q 1 ' li with this increasing seriousness of purpose there has been 9 ' a remarkable development of athletics, and it is a signin- ' ' ' if cant fact that the fraternities ranking high in the recent j ,j , inter-fraternity track meet were generally the ones who 5 , K ' also stand high in scholarship.

Different minor changes have been brought about by the regents in their power of government, -and with the aid and advice of the chancellor. Engineering and Teachers Colleges have been provided for, and the Industrial College of times gone by has been made over into the Agricultural College where students are taught on the campus and by instructors and professors on the other agriculture grounds. The name of the main college has been shortened to the College of Arts and Sciences, and two new colleges have been provided: Dentistry and Business Administration. The legislature has not been content that the institution should serve only those who could comeito it, but has enabled it to reach out also and serve those at home through the agricultural extension, through the conservation and soil survey department, and through the University extension division. Loyal Cornhuskers, loyal Nebraskans, and loyal Americans are developed, and have been made through the efforts of the University, more or less directed toward that end. It is impossible to name a field not entered into by some one or more of our alumni. Particularly in the great crisis of the Professor Brace - One of NcbrasIca's great scientists II h honor Brac Lab- n w ose e oratory is narncdl. World War, alumni, students, and faculty gave their services to their government. Engraved on the walls of Memorial hall are the names of fourteen Cornhuskers who made the three gold stars, and 2,300 blue stars mark our service flag, in symbolism of the loyal soldiers who entered camp, trench and hospital, willing to give their lives if necessary for the country of which they were loyal citizens. Fifty members ofthe faculty and administrative offfice forces entered the service, and many others were called to Washington for service. The de- partment of physics was practically empty, and Chancellor Avery was one of the dollar-a-year chemists in the nation's capital. For correlation in the growth of the institution, after the regents could no longer exercise the personal supervision of former days, and when the N book, after 1913 when it no longer told the freshmen, when in doubt as to what to take, to go to the chancellor, the office of executive dean was established. To regulate the many social problems which arise in the large institution that Nebraska has become, the regents also in 1898 created the office of dean of women, and a dean of men in 1921. Today, in the University of Nebraska, with an enrollment cf something more than 8,000, with an expenditure in excess of 33,000,000 every biennium, with 390 faculty members :besides 333 full time employes, all personal contact with regents is lost. In Nebraska's small college days, Dr., H. K. Wolfce organized the first .undergraduate psychology, laboratory of the United supreme sacrifice. Forty- Professor Harry K.

His colleagues were at that time organizing graduate laboratories in at few of the larger eastern schools, and even in Europe, it was still considered a graduate subject. Prof. E. H. Barbour began his individual investigations of the most famous bone beds of the world about the same time. In a little more than a half century the college of twelve students and seven faculty has grown into one of the largest institutions of its kind in the west,-one that every Cornhusker can be proud to call his own. We proudly share the glories of the institution, but never forget that it could not be except for those legislators who made possible a great Nebraska, realized by a liberal support of higher education, to the men who as members of the Board of Regents have successfully guided the University through its year of development, to those who as chancellors have devoted of administration, yet never lost sight of the vision of a greater institution. their energies to details A PANOTIADIA or rim PRESENT Nsrsmxsxm CAMPUS Page 14 -of W We P . ffm, f .. 1. ..-nf ,wi W7

The council shall also act as a student court to investigate and make recommendations in such cases of minor discipline as shall be referred to it by the executive dean and the dean of Women. The council is composed of seven junior men-one each from the Colleges of Agriculture, Arts and Sciences, Engineering, Law, Pharmacy, Dentistry, and Business Administrationg four. junior Women-one each from the Colleges of Agriculture and Arts and Sciences, the School of Fine Arts, and Teachers Col- legeg four seniors-two men and two Women. The council was established May 25, 1917, at the University of Nebraska by an almost unanimous vote of the students. This year the council has continued to direct drives on the campus-all organizations Wishing to conduct drives for funds on the campus must first receive permission and then arrange for dates. The council played an active part in starting a fresh- man convocation for both first-year men and Women. A judi- ciary committee from the Student Council aided in enforcing the Wearing of green caps by freshmen men. The Student Council also investigated plans for Working out a point system for the Whole school, single-tax and for publication awards. ' l x, I Iljt.
