GOVERNOR READS
PROCLAMATION
SPECIAL THANKSGIVING CONVO
CATION WAS HELD TUESDAY
NEBRASKA SEES PROSPERITY
Chorus Furnishes Thanksgiving Music
for the Occasion Governor Points
Out Many Reasons for Ne
braska's Prosperity
A special Thanksgiving Convoca
tion was held Tuesday in Memorial
hall. Governor Morehead read his
Thanksgiving proclamation, and the
University chorus, under the direc
tion of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond, sang
special Thanksgiving songs.
"I am not especially proud of any
thing I might make In the form of a
proclamation for I feel I cannot ex
press my feelings in words," said
Governor John H. Morehead, as an
introduction to the reading of his
Thanksgiving proclamtlon to the Uni
versity students.
Thanksgiving Proclamation
In a government of a free and inde
pendent people, prosperous by reason
of their devotion to their daily toll,
blessed beyond measure by the out
pouring of the gifts of God; it is most
annroDrlate that a day of general
Thanksgiving be observed. In setting
apart a day for this purpose, I deem
it expedient to mention some very im
portant facts for which the people of
this state have reason to be grate
ful.
This is an annual custom, and I
feel that no day of the year should be
more conscientiously and sincerely ob
served. Everyone should give thanks
to the Great Creator of all things, for
the blessings of health, prosperity
and peace with all nations of tne
earth.
We have reached a period in the
history of our nation with the educa
tion and intelligence of our people,
that we are fully qualified to pass in
an inmassionate way upon all ques
tions pertaining to the good of our
country. The people are no longer
carried away by sensational leaders,
hut think calmly and sanely before
they act While Europe is being de
populated of her young men in the
most destructive war in the history
of the world, our people have shown
a conservative attitude In helping the
men who serve them in a public way
to keen out of foreign complications
and to adjust our differences without
resort to force.
The oeoole of Nebraska have many
j reasons to congratulate themselves on
the bountiful crop of 1915. ine in
dustrial conditions of the state are
1 SDlendid. and the state has no finan
iclal obligations unpaid; we have near
'ly ten millions of good securities in
1 our state treasury, drawing 5 per cent
I interest, bringing an annual Income
of 3500.000 into our public schools and
'educatine our children and qualifying
them for citizenship; guaranteeing to
the state the administration of our
public affairs in an Intelligent way as
it will be governed by an Intelligent
people.
As chairman of the Banking Board.
I can report a splendid condition of
nearly eight hundred state banks, with
a deposit of more than a hundred mil
lion dollars, and but a very few fail
ures, and these for a small amount,
within the past fifteen years, a rec
ord which is not equalled by any state
In the union. The condition of the
banks Is a barometer to the real in
dustrial conditions of the country.
Also as chairman of the Board of
Educational Lands and Funds, I can
report an Increased value of the
many acres of school lands, and many
new substantial school buildings in
most all of the counties of the state.
With the state institutions in splen
did financial condition and in control
of superintendents who are ever mind
ful of the great responsibility to the
unfortunate people under their charge,
the united efforts of all the people to
raise the moral standard and to better
conditions, I feel that of all the years,
none have been- more prosperous or
more deserving of the united -thanks
of all the people, than 1915.
Therefore, I ask the people of our
great and beloved state to stop on the
day designated, and realizing their
good fortune in being citizens of such
a noble country and such a splendid
state, to remove hate and Jealousy
from their hearts and rfve thanks to
the Creator for these blessings.
In acordance with the proclamation
of the President of the United States,
a custom long established and by the
power vested In me, I set apart the
25th day of November, as Thanksgiv
ing day.
JOHN H. MOREHEAD,
Governor.

CHARLES W. POOL,
(Seal) Secretary of State.

MANY STUDENTS
HOMEWARD BOUND
EVERYONE IS DISTRACTED BY
THOUGHTS OF HOME
CLASSES FAST DWINDLING
All Trains Carrying Students Away
Freshmen Grateful for Having
Escaped the Delinquency Com
mittee Return Monday
For the last week the Freshmen's
dreams have been filled with visions
of turkey, puddings, cranberries and
pumpkin pies. Everywhere he goes
he can see them floating before him.
He has scarcely been able to study
or even sleep for thoughts of home
and turkey. At last the time has
come when those dreams are almost a
reality. No more boiled beef, no more
boarding-house fare, for a few bliss
ful days. Is the Freshman the only
one to think these thoughts? Oh, no;
but whisper it! For the older stu
dents are older and sterner and their
pride forbids them to entertain such
childish visions.
Already classes are beginning to
dwindle and behind every day, and In
every corner of the campus one may
find a bulging suitcase or a well worn
traveling bag. What do classes mat
ter when one is going home (that is,
any classes except European History
and Psyschology, and a few others of
equally great importance?)
To most people, particularly, the
Freshman, there is much to give
thanks for tomorrow, for they have es
caped safely the dread hand of Dean
Engberg. -Yet no matter how glad
they are to go home, they are even
gladder to know that they can also
come back.
