CHANCELLOR EMPHASIZES
FRESHMAN'S IMPORTANCE
Chancellor Avery was the speakei
at the first Freshman lecture of the
second semester. He spoke on "The
Importance of Being a Freshman."
Chancellor Avery endeavored to im
press upon the class the responsibility
of their opsition. "The Freshmen of
today will be. the leaders of tomorrow.
They are in the infancy of their in
tellectual career." said Chancellor
Avery. "As every great man was a
baby at one time, bo every educatoi
was once a freshman."
One of the leading thoughts of the
lecture was the fact that It isn't
"how" a freshman "gets by" in his
work but that the good of mastering
a subject aids him in the work that
he follows. A great many freshman
went out from this University and
did work during the war. It was a
Nebraskan who worked out a sub
stitute for the deliwte lens in the
Liberty motor. He was once a fresh
man here.
Chancellor Avery concluded his' lec
ture by comparing the valley of the
Mississippi with the valley of the
Nile and the Euphrates. The river
valleys were the cradles of civiliza
tion because of the advantages they
offered the people. The Mississippi
has the soil climate and people for
the physical basis of a Jiew civiliza
tion.
