THE DEPARTURE OF COACH 8TIEHM Coach Stiem's departure brings to the minds of Nebraskans five years of football history that have meant much to the university. When the lengthy mentor came to Nebraska he found a team that had won the Mis souri valley championship one year, but had been defeated regularly by Minnesota. During his stay, Nebras ka has had a clear title to the val ley championship each year, and for the last three years has not met a defeat. Nebraskans should not, therefore, during the excitement of the change in our system, fall to give credit where credit is due. It was under Coach Stiehm's regime that Nebraska was placed on the football map. The fighting spirit that has made the Stiehm roller so effective in the past few years is at Nebraska to Btay, and it was Stiehm who brought it. Nebraska has been in better ' condi tion than any team it has met in three years, and Stiehm produced the system that made it possible. All told, Jumbo Stiehm has worked won der for Nebraska, and the institu tion that failed to recognize that fact would be ungrateful indeed. The best wishes and kindest re gards of every thinking Nebraskan go with the coach to Indiana, and where ever his path may lead. The golden days of the Stiehm roller will never be forgotten here, and we prophesy that In a very few years Indiana will be a strong contender for the foot ball honors of the west. UNIVERSITY NIGHT FINANCES The report shows that the Univer sity Night committee suffered a fi nancial loss at the recent perform ance. This is not the fault of the committee. They were no doubt as efficient as any that can be had on the campus. The fault lies in the system, and not in the people in charge. The committee cannot be expected on so short notice to estimate the support of the students, the cost of the theatre and supplies, and manage to make the occasion a paying one t from the treasury's standpoint. Un der the Single Tax the committee would know just how much money they can have. With this much defl- See the NEW U.ofN.

Vote for the Single Tax, and help to put this legitimate activities on a sound basis. FORUM GERMANY AND SCIENCE To Editor of The Daily Nebraskan: Many- students of our university are Inspired by some German profes sors to believe that Germany leads In science. Therefore, I take the liber ty to write a few lines for the bene fit of those who have not time to in vestigate the subject for themselves, and let them decide which nation has contributed most to the world of science. Science must be judged by the earlier discoveries. Let us go back to the discoveries of the fifteenth century the date of the revival of learning in Europe and mention the most prominent men in the science of physics, chemistry, biology and medicine. In physics, the chief names are Galileo. Torlcelli, Volta (Italian); Ba con, Newton, Napier, Boyle, New- comen, Franklin, Watt, Wheatstone, Cooke, Faraday, Joule, Thomson, (British); Descarte and Ampere (French); Huyghens (Dutch); Bell, Edison and the Wright Brothers (American); Helmholtz and Bunsen (German); Marconi (Italian and Brit ish ) -only two Germans In the list, and neither of them a discover of prime importance. In chemistry, the principal names are Paracelsus (Swiss); Lavoisier and Gay Lussac (French); Boerhaave (Dutch); Cavendish, Priestley, Davy and Dalton (British), and Liebig (Ger man). In biology, the chief pioneers were Vesallus, a Belgian, who has been called the- founder of modern anat omy; Malpighi, Falloplus, Cuesalpinus and other Italian anatomists; Casner, a Swiss zoologist and botanist,' Har vey, the English discoverer of the circulation of the blood; the French naturalists, Buffon, Cuvier, St. Hllaire and Lamarck; the Swedish botanist, Linnaeus; the German poet and nat uralist, Goethe; and the English nat uralists, Darwin and Wallace. Haeck- el is simply a writer on evolution, not an originator, and Weismann's views on heredity are open to crit icism. Mendel, who formulated the laws of heredity known as Mendelism, was an Austrian. In medicine, the chief pioneers have been Harvey, Hunter, Jenner and Lis ter (British); Pasteur (French); and Metchnikoff (Russian). The modern science of bacteriology is founded on the discoveries of Pasteur and Metchnikoff. Radium was discovered by Madame Curie, a French woman. Gunpowder was invented by Roger Bacon, an Englishman, and nitroglycerine, the basis of modern explosives, was in vented by Sobrero, an Italian, and further developed by Nobel, a Swede. In fact, the Germans are not orig inators, but copyists. Their chief tal ent lies in making use of other peo ple's discoveries. In Invention of in struments of slaughter, the Germans have not produced anything original, but have made use of the discoveries of others. Summing up, I would say that the Germans have made no scientific or medical discoveries of the first im portance. They have produced few really first class scientists. Felix Newton.
