A MONTH'S INVENTORY
One month ago today marked the opening of classes at the Uni
versity. More than four weeks of school have gone by anil with them
have gone some precious moments in a student's life, times when he
has been forming the basis of his college career and laying the foun
dation for his future work. Opportunities have slipped by and mis
takes have been made but it is not too late for students to re-direct
their steps if they find that they have been following the wrong path.
It might be well for every student to halt for a moment and take
an inventory of his first month of university life this year by asking
himself these questions:
"Have I kept my scholastic work on a high standard, in class
recitation, laboratory and reference reading?
"Have I gone to classes faithfully and punctually, never skipping
on the impulse of having a better time outside?
"Have I been trying to bluff professors and 'pony through courses
on the former good work of someone else?
"Have I handed all my work in promptly, and has this work been
the result of my own efforts and thought?
"Have I supported all campus activities and worth-while univer
sity interests?
"Have I made any effort to promote a real University of Nebraska
spirit?
"Have I entered into university activities and tried to make my
self a representative student of the institution I have selected for my
training?
"Have I cultivated friendships, taken a stand for democracy on
the campus and contributed to the solution of college problems?'"
It is a time for serious thought and deep deliberation. An in
trospection of the past month may reveal mistakes and bring about
methods of remedying the things that have been neglected. A deci
sion reached now may prove to be invaluable in the ultimate course
of things to follow. Think it over.
REMEMBER YOUR HONOR
With the open season for the classroom written quiz coming upon
us it is becoming necessary once more to remember that the Honor
System is in use at Illinois. There are few. even among the newest
freshmen, who do not know what the Honor System is, what it stands
for, and how it operates. The system was installed last spring by a
popular vote of the student body and although it has passed through
two ordeals of final examinations already, it is still In its infancy, still
in the experimental stage where every detail stands out in large per
spective. This year will determine largely what the future of the
Honor System is to be.
The plan places the student wholly on his own honor not to crib,
nor to give aid to any other person during examination. The respon
sibility falls entirely on the student body; the instructor in practically
every case will be absent from the room while the examination is be
ing given, allowing the student perfect freedom in taking the quiz,
unwatched because he is on his honor. But if the student is given the
right to take the examination like an honest man, there is also the
duty of accepting that right at its full value and acting like an honest
man while taking it It doesn't hurt the instructor if one cribs; he
loses noithlng by it. But the individual and the student body lose
by every dishonest act. The student may pass the course but he loses
something bigger, his honor. Though he may not have a conscience to
bother him, he is hardening himself against all finer feelings of honor
and duty, while at the same time he injures the student body by
stamping it as being unable to assume the responsibility that is placed
upon it because one of its members fails.
If one cribs or is dishonest In any way in the quiz and is caught
in the act, he involves not only himself but the man who saw him,
putting the latter into an embarrassing position and forcing him to ex
pose the other. No matter how well the honor commission does its
work nor how many men are forced to leave school because of dis
honesty, every one who proves incapable of conducting himself hon
orably in examination brings to the University's good name one more
blot Every case that comes up and is proved is just that much more
evidence against the good name and the character of the student body,
and every point of that nature that is brought up means Just one more
mark against the success of the honor system.
The Honor System for this year, possibly for the next two years,
or even longer, will be but an experiment, and yet, in this year, or the
next the fate of the system will be decided. Perhaps, It will take Bome
time to educate some to appreciate the finer points and to show them
that cribbing is not essentially different from stealing, but whether
it take weeks or months to educate the delinquent members, they
must be educated up to the honor system and the quicker that edu
cation is completed the better. The success of the plan lies entirely
with the present generation of Illinl. We have been commended for
our good work in establishing it Are we now to be condemned be
cause we have not the moral strength to support it? Illinl are nard
ly so weak as all that; they can and will succeed if everybody helps.
It is the universal duty. When you enter the next quiz remember
that we are operating under the honor system. The Dally Illinl.
The above editorial shows, in a measure, the sentiment of stud
ents at the University of Illinois in regard to the Honor System
which is being tried out there for the first time this year. The
first definite action taken by the student council at Nebraska fndi
cates that the student governing body favors the establishment of
some such a system lei-. The council wacts the movement lo come
from the student body; it wants to know how student? feel about it
The Dally Nebraska will be to recel-'e .jpial.m on the subject

YANKEE STANDARD FOR CHINA
Rockefeller Foundation Means of Ed
ucating Orients
Shanghai, ' Sept. 5. following an
Investigation of the activities of the
Rockefeller foundation m China ana
the Phillipines that was conducted
thru the summer months by Dr.
George E. Vincent, president of the
foundation, it is understood extensions
of the educational work in the far
east, particularly in China, will be au
thorized at the annual meeting of the
Rockefeller foundation in New York
in December.
Existing medical schools and hos
pitals at various places In China have
been receiving contributions and aid
from the foundation. The two most
important enterprises of the organiza
tion in China are the Peking union
medical college, under construction at
the Chinese capital, and the Shanghai
medical colege, the erection of wnich
is expected to be authorized at the
annual meeting.
The main purpose of the institu
tions is to train Chinese as practition
ers of medicine, according to the
standards of American schools of the
best class. The development of an in
digenous medical profession of a high
order and the ultimate transfer of this
form of education to Chinese hands
are the announced aims of the foun
dation In China. Three of the main
buildings of the Peking union medical
college will be opened this fall.
The project has been under con
struct ion since 1915, but the difficulty
of obtaining materials from abroad
has prevented the beginning of build
lng. The Rockefeller foundation is
expected to decide at its December
meeting when work will be started on
the Shanghai institution.
