HYMN TO NEBRASKA
(Editor's Note: The following poem has been adopted as the
Nebraska state poem by a committee headed by Dean L. A. Sherman,
of the state university. It is the composition of Reverend Buss, of
Fremont, and will receive the prize of $100 offered by John D. It.
Haskell, of Wakefield:)
Now laud the proud tree planter state,
s Nebraska, free, enlightened, great;
Her royal place she has in song;
The noblest strains to her belong;
Her fame is sure. 1 (
They sing Nebraska through the years;
Extol her stalwart pioneers;
The days, when staunch and unafraid,
The state's foundations, well they laid,
To long endure.
The land where Coronado trod,
And brave Marquette surveyed the sod;
Where Red Men long in council Bat; " ,
Where spreads the valley of the Platte
Far 'neath the sun.
The land, beside" whose borders Bweep
The big Missouri's waters, deep,
Whose course erratic, through Its sands,
From northland on. through many lands,
Does seaward run.
T
The foothills of the Rockies He
Afar athwart her western sky;
Her rolling prairie, like the sea,
Held long in virgin sanctity,
Her fertile loam.
Her wild-life roamed o'er treeless plains;
Till came the toiling wagon-trains,
And settlers bold, far westward bound,
In broad Nebraska's valleys found,
Their chosen home.
Now o'er her realm and 'neath her sky,
Her golden, harvests richly lie;
Her corn more vast than Egypt yields;
Her grain unmatched in other fields;
Her cattle rare:
Alfalfa fields, by winding streams;
And sunsets, thrilling poets dreams;
These all we sing, and know that time,
"Has ne'er revealed' a fairer clime,
Or sweeter air.
O proud Nebraska, brave and free;
Thus sings thy populace to thee.
Thy virile strength, thy love of light;
Thy civic glory, joined with right,
1 Our hearts elate.
Thy nanly wisdom, firm to rule; ;
Thy womanhood in church and school;
Thy learning, culture, art and peace,
Do make thee strong, and ne'er shall cease
To keep thee great!

READING THE PAPER
No man can complete a college
course without acquiring some abil
ity to assimilate information from the
printed page. This faculty he ap
plies" in his course, but how often does
he fail to use his developed talent be
yound the pale of the curriculum.
What a contrast there is in teh av
erage college man's method of reading
a newspaper to his method of attack
ing work required in a course. He
usually glances at the headlines on
the first page and then, unless he be
longs to that small minority who have
no athletic interest, devours the main
items on the sporting page; next he
glances over the headlines in the rest
of the paper, reading in full any items
of especial interest to himself, regard
less of their real moment. What in
formation he does takein is not likely
to be retained long, because of the us
ual absence of effort to remember def
initely and to co-ordinate rationally
what has been read.
clsely, even without going much into
detail, the main developments in the
war? How many can talk intelli
gently on European relations during
the war and produce any real facts to
back up their statements? How many
have at their tongues' end much other
important and useful information?
Familiarity with past events, prog
ress and philosophy, can have little
value for the man of today yif his
learning is wholly divorced from pres
ent day developments, if he does not
use it as a background for his own
knowledge, views and actions regard
ing modern problems. With the col
lege man the remedy for his lack of
perspective is not more time spent
with the newspaper, but the applica
tion to his newspaper reading of the
same principles he applies to reading
done in connection with a college
course memorizing important facts
and continual co-ordination of events.
