DR. STEWART LIKES
NEBRASKA SPIRIT
NEW COACH ARRIVES FOR A
WEEK'8 VISIT
Believes University of Nebraska Will
Have Winning Teams for
Years to Come
I have not been here long," Bald
Dr. E. J. Stewart, Nebraska's new all-
year coach, yesterday, "but the one
thing which has Impressed me most
at Nebraska Is the spirit I find in
this university. Spirit is the thing
whch turns out good teams and Ne
braska has the right kind of spirit.
I believe that with this, Nebraska
will have good teams for years to
come."
Dr. Stewart arrived Monday morn
ing and intends to stay until the end
of the week. He expects to be in
Corvallls on next Monday, in order
to take charge of his track squad. His
program is full while here and he
will be kept busy filling his numerous
engagements.
The new athletic mentor has been
in the coaching game a long time. He
coached Mt. Union college, Alliance,
Ohio, during the football seasons of
1907 and 1908. Allegheny college,
Meadville, Pa., employed him as foot
ball coach in 1909. He remained there
three years and then went to the Ore
gon agricultural college at Corvallls.
While there he has put the school on
the map in football, basketball and
track. He will come to Nebraska
next fall and will have charge of all
the major sports in the university.
Dr. Stewart is greatly interested in
the high school basketball tourna
ment, staged this week. He is enthus-
The Student and the University
To The Nebraskan
"What is the most important thing
that a student may get out of his
university life?" For myself, I answer
without hesitation: The most import
ant thing for a student to get if lie
can get It is an impetus toward
continued development; a habit of ac
quisitlon; a settled necessity of in
ner growth; a quenchless appetite for
more of something; a will to achieve
more and more of something.
The intellectual life is the only dis
tlnctive thing in university training
All else is ordinary. If Intellectual
development ceases with graduation,
little is achieved. Foundations crum
ble without superstructures. Germ!
nal ideas die without development.
Languages are forgotten. Literatures
come back to us in fragments only.
The sciences they scarce trouble us
after a few years by returning at all.
Our boasted mental development is
a fact, but a little one. If it cease
at graduation it will not need a mon
ument Nor our culture, that Inner
essence and result of all things it
will indeed be but a feeble auriole
round our brow if it derives only from
four years of university life.
All of which is not knocking, but
Just suggesting the natural limits of
a brief course of development The
better and best thing a student can
get is an Impetus to carry him be
yond these limits.

TICKET SCALPER
REFUNDS MONEY
Although two tickets for Univer
sity Night, which are supposed to re
tail at 10 cents apiece, were sold
for $1 in the Btudent activities office
Saturday, the seller, on direction of
Dean Engberg, called up his prey and
restored 80 cents yesterday. There is
a strict rule against any tickets for
university functions being sold at
more than their regular price, and
the dean was very glad to have an
opportunity to enforce the rule in this
instance. His attention was called to
the breach of the rules by reading the
story of the scalping In The Dally
Nebraskan.
"CHINA" SUBJECT OF
OR, VERITY'S TALK
Third World Outlook Seminar Meet-
ing at Temple Tonight
Dr. George W. Verity, of Tai An Tu,
China, will speak before the World
Outlook Seminar at its third meeting,
which will be held in the Y. M. C. A.
room at 7:15 o'clock tonight. Dr.
Verity has recently returned to this
country after twenty-five years spent
in the oriental empire. He is one
of the pioneers in the North China
conference of the Methodist Episco
ual church and Is thoroughly in
formed on conditions throughout
China, for he has traveled in nearly
every part of that vast land with the
express intention of learning about its
people. From the ipovertytricken
agricultural classes to the wealthy
mandarin aristocracy he can speak
with authority.
Every phase of the changing politi
cal, social and religious conditions
of the Chinese empire has been stud
ied by him and it is therefore ex
pected that he will treat his subject
from a strictly modern point of view.
The future of the orient is dependent
upon China. Her actions will deter
mine the future of the yellow race
and the attitude and activity of the
United States will have no uncertain
influence upon these actions. Just
what our people as a nation and as
individuals should know as factors in
molding this coming empire will be
brought out in Dr. Verity's address

the Popularity of Ex

with an enrollment of twenty
five. Professor Hoffman lectured on
"Power Plant Design" and Associate

work in the power laboratory.

branches, each consisting of ten les
sons, is planned to give the mechan
ical workers in such plants as the
Cushman Motor Works and Havelock
shops, a more intimate technical
knowledge of their craft. The move
ment Is a natural outgrowth of the
desire upon the part of the shop
workers to get a better grasp of
things, and upon the part of members
of the faculty, to' branch out along
this line of practical instruction.
The five courses to be offered are:
Power plant design; work in the pow
er laboratory; metallurgy of foundry
and forge work; pattern making and
allied wood working; and gas engines.
The first two will hold classes every
Monday; the next two will meet on
Tuesday, and the lecture course with
laboratory demonstration in gas en

lectures and laboratory demonstra
tions by Asistant Professor Bunting,
