The second number of the Mid-West
Quarterly la now out. This Is pub
lished by the University. Pror. Frye
is editor and Dr. Alexander and Trof.
Buck are associate editors. It is
issued four times a year, in October,
January, April, and July. The present
number contains seven excellent
articles, all of them worthy of carerul
reading.
The number starts with an article
on "Joseph Chamberlain the Radical,"
by Cephas. D. Allin of the University
of Minnesota. It is a glowing tribute
o the great English statesman about
to retire from the House of Commons.
Ruth Shepard Phelps of the same
school has contributed a fine biography
of Giosue Carducci. Her treatment of
this recent Italian poet is very skillful
and sympathetic.
"The Renaissance," by E. Benjamin
Andrews Is a well thought out piece of
work. Whether all of his statements
and conclusions will find acceptance
in the minds of his readers is open to a
little question, nevertheless it is none
the less valuable because it show's
very clearly his interpretation of that
movement.
"Sociology and the Law," is the title
of Arthur W. Spencer's article. It is
an article that appeals in interest to
both laymen and lawyers. The author
has eliminated the profuse technicali
ties which very often characterize such
works.
The article entitled "The Mantle of
Browning," is very good and deserves
mention. It is contributed by Hardin
Craid of the University of Minnesota.
,A most intersting article and one
revealing a keen critical sense is the
contribution of George D. Morris of
the University of Indiana. Under the
caption of "American Traits as Seen
by the French," he takes up the char
acteristics that have appeared to the
French as fundamental in the Ameri
can people. Prof. Morris impartially
discusses the justice or unfairness of
these views. It is a very cleverly
thought out piece of work.
Louise Pound, of our own school.
ends the number with an article on
" Emerson as a Romanticist" The treat
ment is novel and original and of much
interest to students of American men
of letters. Her article is a fitting close
to this most excellent and worthy
number.

From beginning to end It is full of
grace and humor, fire and passion. It
Is the expression of happiness which
Beethoven was experiencing at the
time he composed it and which was
to be changed within a short time to
deepest unhapplness through misfor
tunes that came into his life. He had
Just become engaged to the Countess
Theresa, sister of his friend Franz von
Brunswick and the future seemed full
of light and Joy.
The symphony is much lighter and
shorter than the third, but in no way
less perfect in form and composition.
Schumann is said to have spoken of
It In reference to the Third and Fifth
symphonies as "a slender Greek
maiden between two Norse giants." It
is so light and graceful compared to
these more serious and dramatic ones
that it Is often almost overlooked.

ing to weekly concerts by the Univer
sity Band. Captain Hines has an
nounced that the band will give public
recitals every Thursday evening in
the Temple. The recitals will start
at eight o'clock and will last about an
hour and a half. Nebraska may well
boast of the best University band In
the West. Even Iowa, who has a most
excellent band, admitted
braska had a duch better when the
two companies of musicians met on
the Iowa athletic field. The occasion
was the celebration of Nebraska's
former football victory by another one
of like nature over her eastern rivals.

music by Clifford Scott.
Inasmuch as this is the only event
scheduled for this date the fussera

dates for this social event. The cast
this year is exceptionally good and for
those who are acquainted with past

the University public. . For the others
we can assure you that a Kosmet show
is the one thing In school that should
not be missed.
Several of the fraternities have
spoken for blocks of seats. However,
everyone will be given an equal chance

The pamphlet reached Dr. Peterson
recently, and was brought up for dis

hearing of the savage and counter
arguments were advanced against his
stand. He said that such a method

plan cut down expenses on the battle
field, and also was of importance since
it was a divine institution.
According to the stand taken by the
shocked students In the class the war
rior's statements were fundamentally
wrong since such a method would not
always cull out the unfit but would
also remove a number of the physical
