THE LEAGUE OF THE
SECOND GENERATION
As the readers of The Nebraskan
may have noticed, we are trying to
organize a League of the Second Gen
eration. This will be composed of all
students one or both of whose par
ents attended the University of Ne
braska. The work of organizing
should take place in the near future.
But to proceed It is necessary to
know how many students there are
on the campus who are eligible to
membership. There is no way of so
knowing at present except by the
students volunteering the Information.
All students, therefore, one or both
of whose parents attended the Uni
versity of Nebraska, will please re
port at The Daily Nebraskan office
during this week. If there is no one
present, leave your name and address
on a spindle. Get In line and help
work for a Greater Nebraska.

UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
AND CUSS WORDS
At the recent opening of the West
ern league, a member of The Nebras
kan staff chanced to sit near three
other students of the university. No.
matter what the topic of conversation
was, the remarks of these three in
dividuals were constantly so punctu
ated with profanity as to be exceed
ingly disgusting. Their mastery of
the vocabulary of rough talk was such
as to make the street bums in their
vicinity sit open-mouthed with envy
Such habits as this do not win any
one favor with - evert' a bleacher
crowd. Such a vocabulary does not
even lend emphasis. It. is such con;
duct as this in public places that
leads parents to keep their sons andi
daughters away from large schools.
If you must carry on in such a man
ner, do it In private, where those
who are innocent of it will not share
the blame.

(By C. J. Pope)
One effect of a university education
should be to make' the student more
analytic. He should be able the bet
ter to distinguish between the essen
tial and the incidental, fact and the
ory, reality and the expressions in
which reality may clothe itself. This
power should assist him to appraise
things with their relative values.
The need to do so is as apparent
in the realm of religion as in other
phases of life. Indeed, there are few
common subjects about which there
are more popular misconceptions than
about the subject of religion. The
cause for this may be found, pos
sibly in part, in the fact that religion
finds expression through institutions
of various names differing somewhat
in organization, in ritual, in the rela
tive emphasis which they place upon
the different religious teachings. With
the inherent right of each man to in
terpret the Bible for himself these
differences are inevitable. Moreover,
with the natural interest which men
have to ascertain the truth and to im
part their conceptions of truth, It is
just as inevitable that there should
be discussion of religious subjects in
which varying views are advocated.
Possibly this presentation of vary
ing views has Jed to confusion of
thought concerning religion because
there has been lacking in the popular
mind the ability to distinguish be
tween that which is essential and
that which is incidental. It is im
portant to note that the greater part
of religious discussion has been rela
tive to those things which are inci
dental. Much of it has not been con
cerned with the inherent nature of
Christianity.
Christianity is essentially nothing
more nor less than a personal rela
tionship between the individual and
God. Since man is inherently religi
ous this relationship is most natural,
simple and direct. The institutions
of religion are important in assist
ing one to realize this relationship.
The forms of worship and of religious
rituals, whether elaborate or simple,
help one to maintain that relationship
more vitally and constantly. Religious
creeds lead one to more vivid concep
tions of truth and to better stand
ards of life. But all these may vary
without affecting in the least the es
sential nature of Christianity, for
that is a personal relationship be
tween the individual soul and God.
The task for the university student
is to think clearly through any con
fusion which may be in his own mind,
to distinguish between the essential
In religion and the incidental, be
tween the' fact of religion and theories
about it, between the reality and the
forms in which that reality may clothe
itself. He needs this for his own re
ligious, development. He, like the
tree, grows most normally when se
curely rooted. He needs this, too,
because of his influence upon the re
ligious thought of others. One task
of the university man and woman is
to help others to think clearly.

Some of the un-poetic souls that
read this column, couldn't see why
there were so many poems about
spring a couple of weeks ago. We
can't help It If spring insists upon
coming, and since it does come poets
and fools will forever rave.
Oh, sweet (?) strains of music that
come on the breeze
From the conservatory across the
way;
We oft wish that Pan had bursted his
reed,
When we hear thee screaming all
