DEAN of MEN DEAN T. I. THOMPSON W. C. HARPER Pissistant to the Dean My Greetings and Best Wishes; fit the conclusion of another aca- demic year I take pleasure in extend- ing greetings to you. I congratulate you upon your ability to overcome the ob- stacles of one kind or another that must have beset your pathway. Many of you have endured real hardships. Many of you have also displayed a restiveness that betokens ambitions and aspira- tions. I hope that from your experiences you have learned to exercise tolerance, to examine your prejudices, and to seek after truth. 1 hope, too, that you have accumulated an appreciable amount of factual knowledge, that you have in some measure developed a capacity to think, and that you have acquired cer- tain desirable disciplines of the mind. If you have done these things, end have in addition become acquainted with your teachers and formed fast friendships among your associates, ! feel that the time you have spent here has not been in vain. Surely, no one would venture to predict what the fu- ture holds in store for you. But of one thing 1 am sure, that being into what- soever situation such a student of the University of Nebraska may come, he may be depended upon to give a good account of himself. I salute you and bid you God speed! Yours Sincerely,

The CHANCELLOR Greetings to Students and fllumni: The University has three great objec- tives: to stimulate creative power through organized study, to seek knowledge in new fields through or- ganized research, and to apply such knowledge in building a better com- monwealth. fl university is a vast storehouse of knowledge represented by libraries filled with historic lore, by laboratories and equipment with which to demon- strate the laws of matter, and by a dis- tinguished faculty proficient in a wide range of human knowledge. The moulding of a student in his uni- versity course results from human con- tacts with teachers, friends, and com- panions, and from their personalities. The Cornhusker ■ dent expression of the inspiration of represents the stu- the aspirations of the University. It is the student pulse stressing activities rather than class- room achievements. The University is a service institution. It promotes business and enterprise. It seeks to reach every fireside with its message of helpfulness and greater ef- ficiency, fls a constructive force in the young manhood and womanhood of Nebraska it makes for individual suc- cess and for civic progress. Sincerely, PROFESSOR R. P. CRAWFORD Assistant to the Chancellor JJ WdiXA

DEAN of WOMEN To the Women Students: In the relationship of members of my staff and myself with University women we have attempted to build a program upon the thesis that the province of the University is to develop a well-bal- anced personality, and that the per- sonal and social problems of these stu- dents are as much within the scope of our work as are their intellectual prob- lems. This involves a comprehension of the concept of group living and of the relationship of the individual to the group. The student ' s chief reason for coming to college should be the desire to ac- quire learning and an education. Train- ing in activities may be acquired by those who do not attend a college, but the advantages of a University curric- ulum and the daily contact with trained minds may be found in college centres only. Your intra-curricular life must al- ways supersede your extra-curricular interests. The processes of education are inti- mately bound up with the values we designate by culture. Culture is a sym- bol. It is like a musical chord, made up of various single notes. Its meaning is not in a simple separable element. It is a harmony, a sum of balanced parts, and an expression of personality. Sincerely, ' 2 cC i W- DEflN n. H. HEPPNER MISS ELSIE FORD PIPER Assistant Dean of Women
