DAILY NEBRASKAN
THE
RECENT ORIGIN OF
COLLEGE ENTHUSIASM
Yal Had Wonderful Campaign Last
Year Many Universities Have
Like Campaigns.
Why ft "campaign" at all? Because
it is the most natural and normal way
to put a big proposition across In a
great institution. The Yale campaign,
led by Sherwood Eddy, was managed
so far as advertising and organization
was concerned, by the manager of the
victorious Yale crew ot last year. In
all probability all the ingenuity neces
sary for the first job was utilized in
the Becond. Certainly the campaign
was conducted with all the care re
garding details which Yale is accus
tomed to associate with any other
great event which occurs during the
year.
The preparation for such campaigns
as these may properly be said to have
begun in the class Toom of William
James. He showed how useless it
was to get men to listen to appeals if
they were not energized to act on
them. This gave a scientific basis for
registered decisions. When John R.
Mott and Sherwood Eddy dared act on
this the results were so remarkable
that there were few who did not recog
nize the reasonableness and value of
the program.
The campaigns conducted at the
University of Michigan; Ames. Iowa;
University of Texas, and University
of North Dakota were of splendid pro
portions and awakened great interest
on the part of the student body. "Dad"
Elliott had a campaign at the Iowa
State Normal which practically made
a clean sweep of all the men in the
institution. At Yale several hundred
men registered their decision, which
was of this general character: "It is
my purpose, with the help of God, to
pay what it costs to be a sincere fol
lower of Jesus Christ "
In the campaign at Vanderbilt Uni
versity, under the leadership of Brock
man, Weatherford and Mercer, the en
tire university, including professional
schools, was stirred as never before,
and hundreds of men committed them
selves to the practical Christian life.
Mr. Mott reports a wonderful cam
paign at the University of North Caro
lina, Practically every man in the in
stitution was reached by the messages
and groups of Jewish students mani
fested great interest in the addresses.
At Penn State," in addition to the
great addresses of Mr. Mott. Henry
Wright met a large group of profes
sors each day in discussion of religious
ouestions, and Professor John Douglas
Adams addressed the overflow meet
ing; 150 influential Christian leaders
were brought to the institution from
outside, and rendered great service in
personal work among all classes 01
students. More than 700 men definite
ly decided to become Christians.
Here in Nebraska we are especially
interested in the great campaign
which has just been closed in the
University of Kansas. Dr. John R.
Mott and Raymond Robins, together
with about thirty outside workers,
have stirred that institution with their
great messages. Over 2,500 students
have been in attendance at convoca
tions, and last Friday night, in the
face of a tremendous storm, over 1,000
men gathered to hn&i the speakers.
In spite of their large force of work
ers, they did not have enough men to
give the interviews to all the men that
desired them.
The campaign here is made possible
by the fact that Raymond Robins
serves without cost. The churches
and the. two associations are bearing
the incidental expense, so no collec
tion will be asked from the student
body for the support of the meeting.
How the campaign will succeed In
Nhraska remains, to be seen. When
Ames and K. U. have been turning out
1 f.on men to hear the speakers it is
very likely that the Temple theater is
going to handle some capacity nouses
this week.
Nebraska Graduates Who Are Now
Ministers In America and Mission
aries in Foreign Countries
Formerly the young men who chose
the ministry for a life work received
their training in the New England and
ether eastern colleges and universi
ties. The catalogues or the theological
seminaries now show this interesting
change in the source of ministerial
supply. Even the eastern seminaries
are drawing the greater number ot the
students from the west and the west
ern institutions. New England and
the Middle Atlantic states formerly
furnished the churches with candi
dates for the ministry, out now more
than half come from states west of
the center of population. The follow

NEBRASKA GRADUATE
WORKING IN CHINA
Miss Grace L. Coppock, U. of N. 1
905,
Is Now National secrctry v.
Y. W. C. A. of China.
It is difficult sometimes for us to
realize that before the present genera
tion of University students Vere here
there were other students who were
receiving the same kind of inspiration
which is making us eager to be of
real service to others. One of those
former students is Miss Grace L. Cop
pock, 17. of X. 1905, who is now the
rational secretary tne Young
Women's Christian Association of
frnlna. Under her leadership the asso
ciation is proving of inestimable ben
efit to Chinese women.
It has seemed a very natural thing,
therefore, that University of Nebraska
girls should assume the support of
Miss Coppock and thus have their
share in world service. The idea was
presented to a group of University
ciris last snring during the visit of
Miss Leslie Blanchard. the national
secretary for state universities, and
Miss Frances Taft, who had come to
us directly from association work in
China. Little was said at first by any
one. Then one by one the girls, with
earnest, purposeful faces, rose and
spoke. All agreed that it was an op
portunity to put into operation some
of our ideals of service
In the fall came our campaign week,
when we had Miss Blanchard with lis
again. At that time, foo, we enjoyed
a visit from Miss Abby Shaw Mayhew,
the national physical director for the
association in China. During this
week almost $800 was pledged by Uni
versity girls, and this amount has
been increased by al'imni and inter
ested people.
Through the year we have had let
ters from Miss Coppock telling us of
the work which she is doing and of
the wonderful response which Chn.ose
women are making. Thus we are con
stantly brought in touch with the
work of "our secretary." 8 nke t0
call her. As by-products there have
come to us very many benefits. It
has given us a broader vision of the
world and its needs. It has made us
want to know more about missions
both at home and abroad. It has
caused many girls to make more real
in their own lives the Christ ideal of
service.

Student Employment
From September 1st to March 1st
the employment bureau of the Y. M.
C. A. has secured one hundred and
twenty-one permanent positions for
students. To date these positions
have netted the Btudi-iits approximate
ly $5,090.00. It has also filled one
hundred and forty-eight odd jobs for
students. paying them s47.uu.
Through both classes of work the stu
dents have earned approximately $5,
3K7.00. About seventy per cent or the
students receiving these positions
were freshmen. This is due primarily
to the fact that the freshmen are not
as well acquainted with the city and
student conditions. Tt is the purpose
of the employment bureau to serve all
alike, having regard to the needs and
capability of the student, and tbe de
mands of the position offered.
