The Agricultural Club Is an organl
zation of the men of the Agricultural j
College for the promotion of college j
spirit, good fellowship and for the de
velopment of interest In general agri
cultural topic-:. It is to build up a
common interest among the men for
the things that concern the welfare of
the college, and develops a more inti
mate acquaintance than can be gained
in the class room.
The club meets every other Thurs
day night at 7:30. and adjourns at 9,

and at the same time are snappy and
full of interest. The first part of the
hour Is usually devoted to an inter
esting address along agricultural or
other topics given by some capable
and well-informed man. After a short
period of general mixing and conver
sation, any business that may come
up is dealt with, after which the meet
ing adjourns.
At various times during the year
the club gives hops to which the Uni
versity public is at all times cordially
invited. Good music is furnished, and
SCHOOL OF AGRICULTURE
POWERFUL FACTOR IN STATE
School of Agriculture Is High School
College of Agriculture Is Part
of University
Between the School and College of
Agriculture there is a distinction that
is not generally known even among
university students.
The School of Agriculture is in re
ality an agricultural high school. It
was founded about fifteen years ago
with a small enrollment, and has
steadily grown until today its enroll
ment is approximately five hundred.
The same progress has been made in
i
buildings and equipment as in enroll
ment. At present there are five good
buildings and several minor ones on
the campus. It would be well to men
tion the fact, however, that these
buildings are used by the students of
the College cf Agriculture as well as
by the students in the school.
This institution, with its buildings,
equipment and force of instructors,
offers splendid opportunities to those
between teams selected from the two
htcletles, and a cup is given to the
winners. The spirit of unity In the
student body Is encouraged by an an
nual banquet or reception given joint
ly by the societies. This spirit Is fur
ther advanced ly the work of the
Young Mens and Young Women's
Christian Associations, the school par
tics and dances, and last, but not least,
athletics. A strong football team has
been In evidence for the last two or
three years. Their basketball teams
have also made a very creditable rec
ord, standing out quite prominently,
especially during the season of nine
teen thirteen and fourteen, when they
won the pennant in the city league.
The knowledge gained thru these vari
ous organizations is considered sec
ondary, but nevertheless an education
would be incomplete without it.
Taking everything into considera
tion, the School of Agriculture has had
a great influence in the improvement
of agricultural conditions in Nebraska
in the last five or ten years, and the
prospects seem bright for a still
greater influence in the future.
What is protein?

it would soon be so big and fat and

used for the temporary building. Plans
are not yet sufficiently developed to
determine exactly what buildings will
take precedence in this plan alter tin
three buildings above mentioned.
The growtli of the work in Home
Economies makes it Imperative that
the Home Kconom'cs building shall be
modified, permit ting new laboratories
to take the place of some cf Hie rooms
now used for the dormiiory. When
these are finally equipped, the laiili
ties for the Home Kconcmics work
will be greatly increased.
The dep 'ment cf Agricultural
Chemist n is much better provis
ions for its work. Should funds te
available for the erection of a bu Id-
I 1 . L,
wig io nouse mis department, it may
follow as the fourth permanent build
ing to be provided for.
Agronomy also needs additional
room, which must be provided either
by vacating some of the laboratories
now in use b other departments or
by the erection of a new building.
The new Horse Barn which is likely
to be built next year will be located
north of the present beef cattle barns
and possibly north of the central lane.
These several buildings will require
large additions to the boiler plant, and
the question of relocating the boiler
house has been seriously discussed.
If a new boiler house is to be built, it
will be located to the northeast of the
new campus.
Additional greenhouse facilities are
required by several departments, but
the permanent location for green
houses has not yet been determined.
It is proposed, upon the vacation of
the present Dairy Hall, to develop this
building for a dining room and cafe
teria to serve the needs of the Agricul
tural College. The location of this
building does not necessitate its being
destroyed in the development of the
new campus, and it can readily be
fitted up to furnish excellent accom
modations for feeding students at a
minimum cost.
"N" FOBS TO BE PRE
SENTED TO TEAM MEN
Thirteen Men Will Be the Proud
Wearers of Fobs List of Can
didates Mentioned
The "Ag" Club will present "X" fobs
to thirteen men this year. The dairy
team contested with teams from fif
teen states at the aXtional Dairy Show
on October 1'3. The apple team went
to Des Moines this week with the ex
pectation of retaining the loving cup.
Due to foot and mouth disease, and
consequently the postjKming indefi
uitely of the Chicago and Kansas City
shows, the fat stock team had to sat
isfy Its desirt? for contest in winning
first In a local one held November 21.
The following men will receive fobs:
Dairy Team A. C. North, E. W.
Kuhn and H. H. Thompson.
Fat Stock Team C. It. Weber, J. J.
Wren, II. K. Harley, J. B. Kice and
L. L. Aker.

they are always managed in a strictly
businesslike way, while everybody is
treated in the most democratic man
ner. Tomorrow night the second Ag
Hop of the season will be given at
Rosewilde Hall. The committee have
spared no efforts to make this one of
the best hops of the year.
Another activity is the publication
of "Agriculture." This little magazine
is full of life and is one of the best
publications In the University. Each
month, for nine months of the year
"Agriculture" presents a compilation
of Ag student sentiment, and articles
of general agricultural Interest, sub
mitted by agricultural students. So
far this year, under the management
of Editor-in-Chief It. J. Posson ana
Business Manager it. O. Smith, the
paper has been a marked success.
Every year the club awards gold
"X" watch fobs to the men who have
made the fat stock, dairy or fruit judg
ing teams. To become a member of
any one of these teams the student is
required to try out as he would to
make any athietic or debating team.
These teams compete with other col
leges In contests, and in representing
their college they must work alone,
for no audience can cheer them on.
The wearer of an "N" fob has striven
alone.
At present the membership of the
club is about seventy-five; however,
membership Is not necessary to attend
who wish to secure a practical educa
tion and return to the farm as well as
to those who wish to prepare for col
lege. Credits from an eight grade
school are required of a student who
wishes to enter. With this credit, the
course offered can bf finished in four
years. Students having high school
credits can finish in less time. To
secure a diploma a complete course in
the agricultural subjects must be
taken. Only such high school subjects
as the student lacks credit in are re
quired. If registered in the college
preparatory group, the graduate is
eligible to register as a freshman in
the university, and has a good founda
tion on which to build a higher edu
cation; while if a graduate from the
practice group, where the course in it
self is quite complete, the student may
go home well equipped to become one
of the most successful farmers in his
community.
The social side, which is so neces
sary to the successful career of a man
or woman, both in and out of school,
has not been neglected. Within the
school are various organizations. Prom
inent among these are the Davisson
and Ophelian literary societies. Every
student is urged to become a member
of one or the other of these societies,
and after becoming a member is ex
pected to take a part in their programs
as often as possible. To encourage
better work an annual debate Is held

the build. ng are more advanced than
any others under discussion.
The urgent necessity for an Audito
rium and for additional library facili
ties has led to the discussion of a
Library and Auditorium building, to
be located at the south end of the
campus, near the main entrance to the
grounds. The architects' plans show a
building located across the south end

street. If this plan should be finally
adopted, the Auditorium and Library
would be the building to occupy this
site. This building would be devel
oped to furnish additional room for
administrative departments and class
rooms for the general use of the School
and College work.
The need for an athletic building
and drill hall icr the use of the School
of Agriculture has led to the consid
eration of an Armory and Gymnasium
which would satisfy this demand. The
location provided by the architect for
the Armory is at the north end of the j
main quadrangle. If a permanent I
building is erected at this time to
take care of physical training and drill,
it will be located upon this permanent
site. There has been some discussion
of the erection of a cheap and tem
porary building for this purpose, and
should this arrangement finally pre

It was a day long to be remembered
in the life of the lonely freshman.
As he steped out upon the deck of
the Noble ship, a brisk breeze from
the Lee-ward told him that he was
entering the harbor of Agri-Col. The
day was still Young; far off before
him Loom(i)s up the Beach, upon
which was now visible a Pier, which
he reached with the Dean it the Helm.
In order to Gain time he Hopt quickly
ashore and looked for a place in the
Avery. This being crowded, he took
his Seat-on the Hood. On the way to
the farm the car lost a Burr, and he
continued his way on a Clyde Filley.
Crossing the Brad-ford, he saw a Baer,
which was shambling Woodward, and
gave Chase- He was soon lost in the
Wood. Now Morr-ill appeared he
was famished, with nothing to eat but
a Plum. This was no Love-land for
the little Medlar. He soon became
downhearted and sobbed, "Dad Burn
ett, I wisht I -was home." A. V. K.
The fruit judging team, accom
panied by Prof. J. R. Cooper, left Mon
day for Des Moines. Iowa, to take
part in a fruit judging contest to be
held there. Kansas, Missouri, Iowa
and Illinois are the other states send
ing teams. The squad has been put
ting in some very hard work with the
result that a strong team has been de
veloped. The silver lov ing cup offered by the
Twentieth Century Farmer to the
:eam winning first place three con
secutive years is now held by Ne
braska. It is to be hoped that the
team this year will uphold last year's
record. The men who represent Ne
braska are: Paul H. Stewart, Henry
A. Jones, C. W. Smith, Stephen H.
