The most famous of these told roadways Was the Oregon Trail blazed in 1813 by a band of returning Astorians. Over the Oregon trail came tae emigrant and freighting trains, great travel- ing cities, moving from the Missouri to the Pacific coast. The Mormon trail, another of the pioneer highways, which led from Bellevue to Fort Laramie, was blazed in 1847 by the Mormons' Pikes Peak emigrants, bound for the Colorado mines, cut the Denver trail from Bellevue to Denver. When the great Wagon trains had ceased to travel these trails the stage and mail coaches and the pony express used them. -1 , Q'-'-.eL-,s ll! lil

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.

Such has been the story of nearly all of our state universities. They were established by legislative fiat, and be- fore the ink on their original charters was dry were holding commencements. In the beginning the whole University was the College of Arts and Sciences. The College of Arts and Sciences was founded as a separate col- lege in 1871. It was not until the early nineties that the differentiation of the University into its separate colleges became a settled part of Univer- sity policy. In the year 1909 the old Industrial College, founded in 1877, was broken into the two Colleges of Engineering and Agriculture. The Industrial College was the first independent col- lege that burgeoned on the trunk of the mother College of Arts and Sciences. Since then there have been numerous colleges that have budded and then grown into independ- ent colleges-the College of Law in 1891, the Col- lege of Medicine in 1903, the Teachers, College in 1909, the Graduate College in 1909, the College of Pharmacy in 1915, the College of Dentistry in 1919, and the College of Busi- ness Administration in 1919. Each of these was founded by special act of the legisla- ture, and each has its own faculty and clientele of students. At the same time the policy of the Board of Regents has been to establish largely autonomous schools within the College. These have their own faculties and courses of study, and grant the degrees of the College, or give professional certificates. Such are the School of Fine Arts and the School of Journalism, established respectively-1884, reorganized in 1912, and 1923. These professional groups within the Liberal Arts Col- lege merely strengthen its curriculum and extend its power. Others may be added when policy dictates. In the meanwhile the College of Arts and Sciences has itself prospered and grown. The greater complexity of the University and the growth in numbers in other colleges encourage a similar complexity and growth in the mother college. In 18-90 theregwere sixteen departments including Agriculture and Biology Civil Engineeiing and Militaiy Science with English divided into two depaitments and Ancient Languages divided into two departments Most of the depaitments had but one piofessor Each of these de partments had but a fraction of its present resources The curriculum was largely fixed and revolved about the standard departments of the Classics Mathematics Philosophy and Science then almost elementaiy Today there are seventeen depaitments in which a student may select his major and each of these with a cui riculum which for iichness and variety might easily have seemed unthinkable in the eaily days It is a college whose ti aditions and ideals one may be pi oud of There has been a similar iowth in the faculty of the College In the beginning that is in 1872 there weie seven membeis Benton Chancelloi and P1 ofessoi of Intellectual and Moral Sciences Manley Professor of Ancient Languages Hitchcock Professoi of Mathematics Dake P1 ofessor of En lish Thompson Depaitment of Agiicultuie Aughey Professor of Chemistry and Natuial Sciences and Chuich Piincipal of the Latin School Theie was also a department of Germanic Lan uages in which M1 Manley will teach the Geiman and M1 Dake the Fiench In 1890 there were 28 pei sons who weiebentitled to attend faculty meetings In 1910 theie weie 101 Today the faculty num eis 167 I A af?-M-Af ,fi . . .
