CHANCELLOR AVERY'S ADDRESS
OPENING TALK TO THE STUDENTS OF
- STATE UNIVERSITY.
HE DENOUNCES "MOUTHY MADNESS"
Higher Education DemandedInsists on Purity in
Athletics Regards Nebraska as Conserv
ative State.
Lincoln. In his opening address be
fore the students of the state untver
lty Tuesday, Chancellor Samuel
Avery said among other thlugs:
"Jvery Institution ot higher educa
tion must recognize two obligations.
Tho first must be a devotion to knowl
edge withouUregard to local limita
tions. It must be limited by neither
time nor Bpace. It must recognize the
universal brotherhood of scholars, and
regard tho mass of knowledge which
has accumulated through the ages as
the common property of the race.
"On, the other hand, the direct and
special service ot any Institution must
be more or less localized.
"Many worthy Institutions are to a
large extent educating the children of
certain sects or denominations. The
University of Nebraska is a unique
Institution, In that a larger per cent
of the Btudents of tho stato attend It
than In the .case of any other state
university. It is In the strictest sense
a state university, and is therefore
moro ablo to receive impressions from
the state and give Impressions to the
state than most other institutions.
"I believe that in Nebraska we are
coming more and more to have a
state consciousness. The university
is an important factor In developing
this stato consciousness. Hence the
part tho unlvcrBtly plays in Its forma
tiori"Is a matter of vital importance to
both present and future generations.
"Nebraska, compared with most of
Its neighbors, Is a conservative state.
In legislation wo have been wiser or
slower, according to one's way of look
ing at it than many of our neighbors,
and wo are still among the most con
servative of state Institutions In the
number of fixed subjects required for
admission but we aro gradually
changing.
"This university has never had to
face acute student situations such as
have disgraced other institutions. The
Nebraska student may be a bumptious
Individual, but he is reluctant to sink
his Individual bumptiousness In a con
certed movement All of our students
are leaders, and so there are none to
be led.
"What I havejust said simply means
that the Nebraska student Is an Indi
vidualist that he thinks for himself
and acts for Jijmself, and that he does
Hot take orders as to his Individual
conduct from any source.
"I emphasize this fact because no
little of the success, of the Nebraska
student, both in the university and
after graduation, is due to this whole
some individualism."
"Much as we may deplore Intemper
ance In tho sense In which It Is gen
erally used, yet mental Intemperance
Is an even greater evil. The nation,
It seems to me, Is Just recovering from
a great mental debauch. Extrava
gance Jn speech and In writing has
been tho rulo. Repkless denunciation
of patriotic and. conscientious men,
yellowness In .magazines and other
publications, havo disgraced our era,
Fortunately wq are now entering a
calmer and safer period. During this
time the typical Nebraskan has pur
sued his way unaffected by this pe
riod of 'mouthy madness.' To be sure
we too have had our troubles; but in
'the main our great , newspapers have
been calm; our nblest leaders have
teen snno, even wben.most.'progres
elve,' and have refrained from the
arts of the demagogue.
"Nebraska is a stato that some of
our eastern frlendB And difficult to un
derstand. How can this state be
among the first In average production
of .tho great llvo stock and cereal
cropsof tho country, when within the
memory ot those still comparatively
young eome sections ot It have suf
fered from famine? They read first
that the hot south blasts have with
ered the corn, and later that through
timely change of the. weather this
great coreal 'has come back, again' and
Is going to produce a buinpor crop.
It does sometimes seem that nature
tries to Bee how closo she can bring
us to ruin and yet spare us. There
have been occasional crop failures
ever since the state was settled, "but
we have learned that our agricultural
success depends not on what a single
year, but upon what a series of "years
will bring forth. This disregard of
present troubles and serene confidence
In the future makes the typical Ne
braskan good-natured, calm, cheerful,
optimistic. Our students take some
what the same view of examinations,
Tallures, and other college calamities.
This mental attitude makes the teach
ing of Nebraska students a delight to
the professor, and association with
' students the only relationship -which
always "cheers the heart no matter
now leaden the skies of the future
nay seem.
"The natural honesty ot our Btudents
Is shown'by the fact that nearly any
Colnmbua, O. The Astor-Force wed
ding and the whole yltal subject of
idlvorco, is to be discussed at the
Christian citizenship conference which
Is holding a session in this city,
Churches of all denominations, are rep
represented at the conference.
Having heard that ber husband,
Lemuel Goodwin, was dead, and after
mourning for him for nine years, Mrs.
Emma' Goodwin married Matthew Oh

of them will tell you frankly the ac
tual condition ot student affnlrs. As
a rule they do not do things which at
tho moment do not strike them as
ethical. 1 make this statement' ad
vlsedly.
"The charge Is sometimes made that
tho University of Nebraska Is undemo
craticthat the fraternities and soror
ities represent an aristocracy of
thought and feeling; that the literary
societies and tho associations aro
bourgeois, as It were; and that the
students not belonging to organiza
tions are the peasantry. This classi
fication contains only slight elements
of truth. Yet, It docs contain slight
elements. Tou could hardly expect a
young man whose father belongs to
several clubs, or a young woman
whose mother may be equally addict
ed to the club habit, to resist tho en
ticements of fraternity or sorority
life. -It 1b the most natural sort of
thing for young pcoplo to wish to asso
ciate themselves together. Thcro need
be nothing undemocratic In these or
ganizations. Nebraska Is a democrntlo
state. Few states In the world aro
moro democratic in heart and feeling.
Our young people who come from
farms where the hired man and the
hired girl cat at the family table are
not likely to be made snobs by such
fraternities or sororities. The frater
nities and sororities intensify student
life. They are now on trial. Let them
remain and Increase In number, but
let them stand for scholarship and for
the expression of a wholesome social
life, not for the -monopolizing of stu
dent society.
"Educational institutions have never
entirely escaped tho almost universal
tendency of officeholders to endeavor
to conduct the business of the public
for the personal advantage ot them,
selves and their friends. From all of
these things Nebraska has been rela
tively free, and only enough Instances
have come to light to empnaalze the
need of eternal vigilance, along these
lines.
"Many of us who feel comparatively
young recall a time when the Nebras
ka pioneers were traveling with ox
teams. We have witnessed the tran
sition from this to our present auto
mobile era.
"It Is often observed that when any
group of successful Nebraskans
Judges, professional men, teachers,
bankers, merchants, farmers get to
Indulging In rcrnlnlrcences of their
boyhood days, you will find that nine
out of every ten had tho same ex
porlence on the farm, attended similar
country school houses;' have painful
recollections of cowhide boots, and
very Joyous recollections of bucking
bronchos. Our students are largely
children of the successful pioneers.
Comparatively few of them have been
Injured ' by luxury. In demanding
hard study, the university authorities
havo the moral support of the parents,
and fairly good, encouragement from
the students themselves.
"The state universities, represent
ing as they do all the people, must
of necessity endeavor to conduct them
selves on all Important questions In a
manner acceptable to all tho people.
Denominational colleges are expected
to encourage their students to become
adherents of the denominations they
serve; and because the state univer
sity serves no special denomination
and has no theological bias, it is aomiv
times assumed that a religious life iu
not possible or desirable In such an
Institution. On the contrary, the au
thorities unofficially encourage the
student (o exemplify to the best of his
ability tho faith In which he has been
brought up.
"Those who crltlclso our athletics
may be divided Into several classes.
Some of the opposition to football Is
actuated less by fear of Injury to the
players than by n dislike of tho great
Joy the gamo gives the student body.
Another and .larger class has confused
athletics with exercise. Physical cul
ture and sport are two separate and
distinct things. The question of main
taining Intercollegiate athletics is
largely a question of whether it Is
better to have clean, officially regu
lated excitement for tho student body,
or to permit young people to secure
such excltemont as they may .without
official sanction.
"Athletics carried on without ex
cesses, but with clean, wholesome en
thusiasm, should be a Nebraska Ideal.
"It Is. obviously impossible In a short'
address to do more than give a broad
outline" of some ot the Ideals that
should govern Nebraskans, both as stu
dents and as citizens. Some of those
I have tried to describe are as yet
only In the germ, but I think fertile
soli for the growth of all of them is to
bo found in our commonwealth and
our university. We can no more man
ufacture them outright' than we can
manufacture traditions they must
come through growth and develop
ment." New York. Attorney General Wick
e'rsham declines to commit his depart

sible prosecution of the United States

SECRET OF PASTORS' SUCCESS I
Writer Is of Opinion That Proper Man
ner Has Much to Do With
the Matter.
The reason why a good many min
isters of fair ability aro out of a Job
is bocauso they do not want to visit,
because they aro looking for a church
that will fit their own notions rather
than trying to fit themselves to tho
needs of a church. It Is true that a
good many men do not know how to
call, they do not know how to behave
when they get Into a house, they do
not like It and will shirk It every
chance they get. Yet calling Is the
secret ot success In almost every par
ish today not the samo kind of call
ing in all places, but Borne kind in
every place and If our seminaries
had wisdom they would fit, their stu
dents to do their work in the best
way, in tho only way in which It can
bo done In tho country at least. Glvo
ono year to sermon-making and threo
years to making gentlemen In tho
truest sense of that word. Thus send
out men who can adapt themselves to
tho needs of tho place whoro they are
called, and can thus servo human
souls, who, being as they are, want
to bo better. The problem of tho
country church Is to bo solved by tho
paEtor rathor than tho preacher.

HANDS BURNED LIKE FIRE
"I can truthfully say Cutlcura Rem
edies have cured mo of four long
years of eczema. About four years
ago I noticed somo little pimples
coming on my llttlo finger, and not
giving it any attention, it soon becamo
worse and spread all over my hands.
If I would havo thorn in water for a
long timo, they would burn like fire
and largo cracks would como. I could
lay a pin in them. After using all
the salves I could think of, I went to
thrco different doctors, but all did
me no good. The only relief I got was
scratching:.
"So after hearing so much about the
wonderful Cutlcura Remedies, I pu,r
chased ono complete set, and after
using them three days my bands wcro
much better. Today my bands are
entirely well, one set being all I used."

Red Cross Christmas Seals.
The National Association for the
8tudy and Prevention ot Tuberculosis
will this year for the first time be na
tional agent for the American Red
Cross in handling the sale of Red
Cross seals. A new national office has
been opened in Washington, and an
initial order has been placed for
60,000,000 seals, although it is expect
ed that doublo that number will be
sold. The charge to local agents for
the seals will be 12M per cent ot the
gross proceeds, the national agent fur
nishing the seals and advertising ma
terial, and taking back all unsold seals
"at the end of the season. Postmaster
General Hitchcock has approved of
the design of the seal. Owing to the
fact that many people last year used
Red Cross seals .for postage, the post
office department has given orders
that letters or packages bearing seals
on tho face will not be carried
through the malls.
