The personages under these bright headgears were Freshmen at the University. Green caps have been a tradition at Nebraska for many years and first-year students are quick to grasp the idea of school spirit and class loyalty which these caps represent. When the Freshman appears on the campus with his newly pur chased covering upperclassmen recognize in him the qualities that make good future upperclassmen. Strong upperclassmen are de veloped only from Freshmen who appreciate the value of the school's traditions. Freshmen should not feel that the wearing of the green caps inflicts on them a punishment for being "green" or that the color of the caps is symbolic of those who wear them. If every Freshmen man buys a cap. the poor fellow without one becomes a curiosity. The caps are the link which is the beginning of a long chain of true University friendships. If Freshmen become acquainted through "the wearin' cf ihe grern." this alone will be worth many times more than the price of a green cap. Think how many friendships $1.00 can buy until Saturday night! "NEBRASKA'S PRAIRIE ARCHITECTURE." The Literary Digest of a recent date and the New York Times allude to NebrusUii newly planned capilol building as a "radical de parturethe beginning, perhaps, of a new school of prairie architec ture .... a four-hundred-foot tower crowned by a glittering dome .. visible fifty miles across the flat country upon which it stands." Just what does this singularly effective definition include? It is easy to see that the skyscraper capitol departs from the "more or less standard Washington model" and that its mighty shaft will present an odd and picturesque silhouette against the blue sky of the Corn husker state and perched upon the broad fiat prairies. The Literary Digest comment to me is an enthusiastic comment. It declares that "Nebraska has dared where other states have bought their capitols more or less ready-to-wear" from Washington. Mr. Goodhue forgot the prosaic when he submitted the winning plan in. the competition in which many of our foremost artists were rep resented. Those conservative Nebraskans who looked at the new design with horror and exclaimed, "It looks like a fortress." are beginning to see that the level prairie lands ara an excellent background for the building "with high visability as its motive." They are beginning to like its grotesque shape and massive tower. They are beginning to see that Nebraska has adopted a new form of architecture which is "neither Egyptian, Romanesque, nor yet the ruins of Roman con struction in northern Africa." The Literary Digest adds that "equally daring in originality. ' perhaps is the model designed by Mr. Louis J. Bourgeois for the Eahai Temple to be built for Chicago. It is the first new idea in architecture since the thirteenth century." Don't we feel just a little pride In the fact that authorities from all parts of the globe concede that two Middle-Western states have originated and accepted a new type of building construction? Don't we feel Just a little proud that Nebraska is one of these states and her new capitol one of the new styles of architecture? IS NEBRASKA A SCHOOL FOR BUTTERFLIES? To the ears of one not hankering for gossip little comes that is really heard and repeated if such volunteered information is purely valueless. But during the summer months a strange question was pur to me by one who knows something about colleges, college life and college ways. He said: "Did you know they grow butterflies at Nebraska?" I replied that I had not heard tha; such was the case, not being acquainted with work in the Zoology Department. Thn I listened while he explained that it was only in the figurative sense in which he used "butterflies." He had heard from parente and I rominent educators that Nebraska was known as a sort of school v here the social butterfly was brought to life, nurtured and developed. His words seemed to have wisdom. He said that it seemed to him th.-t social affairs dominated at the Cornhusker school. Then he ixplaind thst they were entirely necessary, for tired brains need recreation and lazy feet need dancing -but he added "even if you dance three times a week don't live a dancing mtster's life in the laserooiTi " And sometimes it seems htat he was mighty nearly correct.
