Welcome to Nebraska high schools!
Several hundred sUdents from over
the state are mere attending the
basket-ball tournament. Many cl
them -will be future students of the
University. It Is up to us to show
them the University at its best.
The Daily Nebrastam La devotios
this issme to the religious phases of
oar University life has attempted to
make it as representative as possible.
We believe that the stadent body are
in sympaihy with any movement to
develop relijtous ideals, and we feel
that the Ro Mps" cam saiga is a decided
step in that direction.. Any movement
that will help us pet in closer touch
auad harmony with those ahout us is a
frt of our social edacataom- At all
events, let us be charitable, and if
we do not feel like supporting this
anoTemeiat, at least refrain from say
ing or doing anythir'f that will pre
vent its success.
If a university training does any
thing for a person, it should widen
his cental borixon. In so doing it

The difincSiiiatiaa ia

tenia usurp the place of the living
become the cerements of religion. For
religion is both a belief and a life.
As a belief.lt represents the most
fundamental and comprehensive hy
pothesis conceivable touching the re
Ijrtion of man to the universe and pred
icates the spiritual nature of both; as
a life, it exhibits the effort of the indi
vidual to realise the highest possible
development of his spiritual nature, to
put the highest spiritual conteut into
life. If religion bo conceived in this
large way, it should be clear that a
man can not be "religious, but not
moral." nor can he be "moral, but not
religious." for. in the latter case, if his
conduct be of a high order, he is
clearly influenced by an unconscious
belief in the supreme importance of
spiritual values in life. His morality,
"touched by emotion." has become re
ligion. A genuine belief in the spiritual I
character of life ren-.lers obligatory a
course of conduct that shall contribute
to the highest spiritoal development of
the individual and of society. Spiritual
values, the effect of action on char-
j acter and of individual action on the
I well-being of society must serve as our
guides of conduct. Such great spiritual j
values are the sayings: "Is not life ;;
more than meat and the body than j
raiment?" and "What shall it profit a
man. if he gain the whole world and
lose his own soul?"" How well the lives
of Socrates and Giordmo Bruno stand
the test when tried by these values!
What seemed fol'y to their contempo
raries becomes their greatest giory ia
the eves of posterity. How contempt
ible cur evasions of the demands of
right condact seem ia the light of their
supreme sacrifice! If the develop
ment of a finer charae'er is one of the
main ends of life, how can we, with
our eyes open, indulce our baser pas
sions, paying with the life-blood of the
spirit for petty temporal gains! How
can we so lose the sense of proportion
and make such a botch of life, if we
really believe that litfe is above all a
spiritual thing? In him who belfeves
that life is base, ba? conduct is. at
least fcteCicihle: but for him who
professes to believe that life has a
spiritual content to give the lie to his
belief by base condact is to commit the
unpardonable sin. Conduct is the test
of the vitality of belief; there is no
escape from the jndgmenL ""by their
fruits ye shall know them."" The fruit
of religious belief should be coble
conduct; the fruit of coble condjuc't. a
fine character.
And when all has been said, is not
the acquisition of a fine character the
grandest thing that mortal man may
strive for? Men teav- alwajs judged
so arod they have judged rightly. They
have set their spiritual leaders on the
highest tedesls; they have refused
Ksfetra on the same level with Jesus
and Sot-rate. The world lias realised
fatuitively. no doubt, bnat it has real
ized that the great leaders of hmman
ity must not fall shrrt when the tet
gTtat spiritual valre-s is applied to
em. for the Mind can not lead the
KM and tie great need os tte mo

wayward will feel obliged to keep the

This all seems like r.n act of loving
obedience, but an undertone of dis
content hovered over the campus,
many of the girls declaring that it
was simply a choice between their
fortaal and a Vogue party, and they
naturally chose the former. Some
maintain that an hour and a half ot
dancing which gets one home at the
same time as an O-pheutn date Is
more beneficial mentally and physlc-
allv than the show.
The Vogue party was called off late
yesterday cn account or the objections
raised by Dean Graham.
The Vogue dance for this week has
been given up on account of the Uni
versity authorities being opposed to
mid-week dances.
