MEET GRACE COPPOCK TODAY.
Nebraska "co-eds" have as their guests today, Grace Coppock.
one of Nebraska's best-known women graduates. She was sent to
China in 1907 to organize Y. W. C. A. associations and Is now the
head of the work there, with many branch organisations in her
charge. Miss Coppock has visited here often but has never spoken
before the student body. We wish to recommend her very highly to
the students on this campuB and to urge that many hear her, for she
is a fascinating speaker, has a truly wonderful personality and will
be able to tell Interesting stories of many climes. Let's show our
Coinhusker loyalty, pride and "pep" and give Grace Coppock a royal
welcome. We may well be proud of her and we should show our
appreciation for her great work in a practical,"" demonstrative way.
GO TO CONVOCATION.
THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Do you ever stop in the midst of your "busy school life to think
of the simple life of the "good old days?" That was the time when
the only trouble with the cream was that it was too thick, and bacon
and eggs were necessities instead of luxuries. Then one had real,
yellow butter and a dollar's worth of steak couldn't be pushed
through the key-hole. Those were the days of hard work, simple
life and homely pleasures, but in those days this great nation was
built on a firm, solid foundation. Remembering them that because of
that simple, wholesome standard of living we have our present ad
vantages, we should think a little of our modern life. In spite of its
oleo, patent breakfast food and hash, it is interesting, but how un
inspiring in so many cases! This generation has gone mad over
efficiency. Everything Is done by machinery and the process of dis
tribution is altogether too complicated. Moreover, we like to see
the other fellow do the actual work while we direct it. A youn , man
wants to be able to always wear a white collar he wants a "pisition"
not a "job," although at the present time, wages buy more necessities
than salaries. We are in search of hollow pleasure instead of hap
piness, and by the Bolshevistic attitude of many people, this pleasure
is not proving the most satisfactory thing. The world has too much
specialization and not enough humanization!
CRITICISM AND THE GREAT MAN.
"In all ages men have never been great and good for nothing, but
they are often ingrates and good-for-nothings. Fame is a spot light
that magnifies a man's merit, and makes him look like a monkey
when it catches him without his make-up on." If the general public
would remember this when they start to criticise a public man for
the least mistake and apparently forget the truly great things that
the man may have been doing before! As long as everything goes to
suit the individual, then the world is all right, but the minute the
tables turn, he becomes bitter. Moreover, when a man is in the
public eye, he must bear patiently the brunt of just and unjust
criticism because he is expected to always please everyone, contrary
to human possibilities. All men must make mistakes, for he who
never does, loses his greatest chances to learn and no matter what
his rank may be in life, the world must always be generous enough
to allow some lapses and trust to his previous experience and good
judgment to make things right. Someone is forever tearing through
Piesident Wilson's decisions; the returned soldier who has a petty
grudge against his treatment from Uncle Sam, puts the blame on
General Pershing; the overseas Y. M. C. A. received much uncalled
for censure because of a few small local delinquencies, and so it
goes. The greater the person, the movement or the organization, the
more the complaints. Don't acquire the habit of "crabbing" every
thing and everyone that does not agree with you be broad-minded
and try to see the other side of the question.
IS COLLEGE WORTH WHILE?
A recent editorial in The Minneapolis Journal on the subject:
"Is College Worth While" had this to say:
"College as a polishing establishment is not worth four years of
anyone's time. As an entertainment club it is Inferior to the enter
tainment that can be had at less waste of time and money. As an
admission to good society a college diploma is not worth the vellum
on which it is engrossed."
A bulletin recently issued shows that less than one per cent of
American men are college graduates. It sets forth that 55 per cent
of our presidents, 7 per cent of the speakers of the House, 67 per
cent of the attorney generals, and 69 per cent of the justices of
supreme court have been college men.
Data gathered by the United States Department of Education
from a hundred business houses covering only a few years indicates
that only 25 per cent of those who rose to responsible positions and
high salaries were non-college men.
The same source shows that among 150,000 men, to every 84 of
high school education who find a place in "Who's Who," there are
800 college men who receive that honor.
It has been truthfully Bald that college -will not make a man,
but a college will make a good man a better man.
To those who enter college with innate abilities and who attempt
to improve themselves by every opportunity .the college offers then
college Is worth the cost. To others it is a waste of time and
money. Daily Cardinal.

of Gaylord Davis is nearly completed
and will be the best of its kind ever
printed m a year-book. The staff has
whispered that there are few stud
ents who will not see with horror
stricken eyes some unbecoming snap
shot of themselves which "really is
not at all like me" and which they
thought safe in the family album.
The story which was told a stude
nts best friend and which she was
never to reveal will in some mvstei-
ious way find itself into the most
conspicuous place in the volume. All
the scandal published orally about "so
and so" will be fully explained and
no friends or relatives will be spared.
The 1920 Cornhusker will represent
practically every student in the uni
versity. With this personal reason
for buying a Cornhusker. in addition
to the desire for having so complete
a record of Nebraska student life and
such an excellent history of Nebras
ka men and women who have and are
taking leading parts in ibis greatest
of all periods the reconstruction per
iodit seems likely, that every stud
ent will buy the "1920 Reconstruction
Annual."
