This is the last issue of The Daily Nebraskan for this year. Since January first, the paper has made an unprecedented record in its achievements. It has left the ranks of the mediocre publications that are so common and has become the best University paper in the coun try. It has been fair, treating all items of news with no semblance of favoritism or prejudice. It has changed its form it is larger, with more space for the proper expression of individuality, the thing that distinguishes any newspaper. It has attempted to be a newspaper for its readers. The Daily Nebraskan has been helping to make history for the University community. The mid winter and spring will hold many things for us all, and The Daily Nebraskan will continue to be the best University daily in the country. Just a reminder. It will be difficult, if not impossible, after Christ mas vacation, to secure tickets for the lecture by Sir Rabindranath Tagore, the world's famous teacher, poet and philosopher, at the Oliver theatre, January 8th.
