FRESHMAN LAW STUDENTS HANDICAPPED
Although University of Nebraska law students pay $25 tuition
the first semester and $20 the second term for the use of texts and
reference books in law library, these books have scarcely been avail
able this year. Students in the college of law have been working
under a mighty handicap for this reason, and rapid and accurate
case work has been almost impossible. At this time there are only
a few case books on reserve for each subject taught this year, and
more than 150 freshman "laws" have to be accommodated.
Because of this great shortage of books, a large number of
texts have been ordered by the students through the Regents Book
Store, which was able to supply them at cost. The number of books,
however, In these orders, is strictly limited and only a few copies
are forthcoming from the publishers in Chicago and Boston. After
Dean Hastings had sent an order for copies of Blackstone, he was
disappointed to learn, when the books finally arrived, that the order
had been cut down and that some of the books were second-hand.
The largest law classes in Nebraska's history makes it imperative
that this book shortage be relieved as soon as possible in order to
secure the highest type of student efficiency.
THE WOLFE FELLOWSHIP
The movement launched by alumni and students to establish a
modest $10,000 endowment fund to support a research fellowship in
philosophy in the University of Nebraska in memory of the late
Harry Kirk Wolfe, for many years head of the department of philos
ophy, is encouraging. It indicates under standing of a singularly
fine and noble character and gratitude for brave and devoted service
given the university and state for more than a 'quarter of a century.
It is a sign of a basic defect in our modern society that it pro
duces so few men like Dr. Wolfe. It is, at the same time, to its
credit and glory that it produces any.
Dr. Wolfe was not a money grubber. He was not in any way a
self seeker. He was a seeker after the Truth. He was a servant
a teacher who sought to train minds to think, to compel them to
think, and to build character. His impatience with the sluggish mind
was surpassed only by his contempt for the cowardly mind and the
selfish heart. He dreamed of a university that would inspire men
and women with ideals and convictions and the courage to stand for
them at whatever cost. He was himself the embodiment of his own
dream. Fearlessly treading the weary ways of earth hand in hand
with Truth and Duty. He was gifted with a remarkably well-equipped
mind, thoroughly trained and nicely balanced. He hated cant and
pretense and humbug with all the ardor. of a great nature. When
he believed that conventional opinion was wrong it could not serve
to sway or swerve or dismay him in the slightest degree. As a brave
and honest man should, he stood up and fought, and fought as the
gentleman fights, with a smile on his lips and a kindly tolerance in
his generous heart not, for what be believed to be the error but for
those who were its victims. He went to his death with his head bloody
but unbowed. Cruelly and wickedly assailed with a preposterous
slander by those whose friend he was for he was the friend of all
men and women charged with a lack of patriotism when no wiser,
braver patriot ever lived he died with his serene philosophy un
shaken, with his heart pure of bitterness, with his faith in humanity
and its destiny as firm and unclouded as in his days of youth and
enthusiasm and dedication.
There are many men and women in Nebraska, in all the West,
throughout the land, who have known and benefited immeasureably
from the inspiration of personal contact with Harry K. Wolfe. It Is
these who can esteem it nothing but a great pleasure to contribute
to the little fund that is to bear his name. Their task of love and
gratitude will not be ended with the raising of the fund and the mak
ing provision for Its administration. It will be their further duty
to help in the weaving of a tradition about that fund and the fellow
ship it Is to support the tradition of brave and patient devotion to
the truth, of the open mind, of unblemished character, of the generous
heart, of kindly, unselfish service, of the courage to fight unflinching
ly for lofty ideals, that Dr. Wolfe exemplified so superbly. If
throughout the years there could be ever one student in the Uni
versity of Nebraska not alone supported by this fund but inspired by
its meaning, dedicating himself in his fellowship to a discipleship,
thus insuring that the influence of this truly great man might abide
with us through the generations, there could be no way of guessing
the far limits of its beneficence. Onaha World Herald.
