through the week.
Biblical Literature.
The study of the Bible as a body of
literature, as the most comprehensive
and many-sided book of life in the
world, and as the most influential
single work in the making of western
civilization, is a subject of such obvi
ous importance that it would seem
impossible that it could be omitted
from the curriculum of any college
aiming to give a liberal education.
That it has been and is so omitted is
due to several causes. First among
these is the tradition of the Arts Col
lege, which from its foundations in
Renaissance Europe has been mainly
concerned with profane, learning
especially with Creek and Roman lit
erature and thought. Along with this
was the assumption that knowledge
of the Bible was to be properly given
by church authorities, and by each ac
cording to its own conceptions of Bible
teaching. In recent times in America
denominational prejudice has had
some effect in deterring state institu
tions from offering work in this field.
But there is abundant evidence of a
change in public spirit in the matter.
More and more men are realizing that
church, Sunday school and household
instruction reach only a portion of the
youth of the land; and that in any
case they do not meet all the possibili
ties of the student's interest. Famil
iarity with the Bible is an essential of
culture; and there is a growing de
mand that Biblical literature be made
a subject of systematic lectures. In
response to this, and in answer to re
quest, an introductory course of this
nature is to be offered next year by-
Professor Alexander of the depart
ment of philosophy. There will be lec
tures on the historical, literary and
cultural meaning of the Bible, to be ac
companied by readings of the Bible
text and such commentaries as may be
chosen. The university pastors are to
assist, as special proctors, with such
students as elect to work with them
directly. The course will be based on
two lecture sessions per week and will
continue through the year.

bers. Each man fires ten shots at
standing position and ten shots prone
position with a 22-calibre army gal
lery rifle at a target fifty feet distant.
The five high scores are taken for the
team total.
The Nebraska team has so far won
four out of seven matches, winning
from Lehigh, Mississippi, Idaho, and
Arizona, and losing to Kansas, Michi
gan, and Yale. Two more matches
are still to be shot with Rhode
Island College and the University of
Washington.
The final standing of the different
teams will decide the class they- will
be put in for next year. Nebraska's
standing is now above 90 per cent.
The Secretary of War is the presi
dent of the National Board which reg
ulates and controls the matches. Two
thousand dollars is appropriated year
ly by the government for the neces
sary expenses of the teams in differ
ent universities and colleges of the
United States.

Such value as may exist in a special
emphasis of this kind probably can be
tabulated in the fact that it gives the
churches a chance to see approximate
ly the total size-of their student con
stituency; It. perhaps also helps the
students to derive whatever satisfac

majority of the students in the Uni

or intermittently, it does not Beem to
be a bad Idea to have them try to
