YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE DAY.
You don't remember the day, of
course. But your father and your
mother do remember when, according
to the Boston Transcript, the college
life o fthe SO's and "JO's was "an idyllic,
haphazard, humorestic existence, with
out fine imagination, without any fa
miliar infusion of scholarship, without
articulate religion; a flulter of intelli-1
gence flying into trivial play, in order j
to drop back, when college days were j
over, into the drudgery of affairs."
In a recent editorial in a college,
paper it is said that the "good old j
college days" as referring to that un-;
tangible University atmosphere is ;
fading, Perhaps it is fading. How-1
ever, it seems that it is giving way to J
a new interpretation of the same ,
thing.
There were no cars then for every
other student; there were no movies
which took up a quiet afternoon of j
studying. Instead there was Old :
D.dihin and the road shows, which we
kn.'.w took up a larg( share of the
indent's atti'lition and helped to con
!r!li:ti' to the atmosphere of "dear old ,
col;. s- days."
Ii is on'y different today because in
t . t-; 1 1-1 m f it'll is different. Times have

MEDALS THAT ARE USEFUL.
Medals may be essential or non
essential from the standpoint of use
fulness, even though they still are
symbolic of victory. In the recent In
door Relay Carnival held at I'rhana.
HI., at which three Nebraska men car
ried off two first places and a thirl
tally, medals that spell more than
honor were given. These medals ca t
bo termed "useful."
An Elgin watch, with an inscriptiiei
if victory iiiion it was one of th
nr.it-p'aee medals given at this carni
val. Every time this watch do s tie
owner a service he will think of th'
manner in which it was won. lie-1,
much more sensible are medals that

which they are providing for tie- u

irom all jiarts of Nebraska who will
travo lto Lincoln this week for th
l irg -st. tourney ever attempted at th:
chool. The doors of fran-rnit
l,oi..-es have hec-n thrown open to re
ceive these mn. Each fraternity has
a-'t-ii! t hon--- an n tire learn, in

With thirt'.-' n classes of eight teams
each entered in this gigantic tourna

can be deduced.
It is important that the best enter

iters because it will encourage
them to consider Nebraska first win -n
they are thinking in terms of college
days ahead. Wo should make each
Tisitor feel that Nebraska University

What Is Air Pressure
THE air is composed of moiecu: :s. They con?.tc:'y
bombard you frcm r.ll A thousand tnps by a ,
thousand knuckles will ci-:,:--c ;. barn door. The laps
as a whole constitute a push. So tho : onstant borabarenv. ::t
of the air molecules co:;stitutcs a pus'i. At sea -It vel the air
molecules push agcinr-t every soi:ai2 inch of you v:th a
total pressure of nearly fifteci pou:ids.
Pressure, then, is merely a matter of bombarding mole
cules. Wh.cn you boil water you make its molecules fly off.
The wat T molecules collide with t he air molecules. It takes
a higher temperature to boil water at sea-level than on Pike's
Pt nk. Why? Because there are more bombarding molecules
at sea-level more pressure.
Take away all the air pressure and you have a perfect
vacuum. A perfect vacuum has never been created. In the
b-'t vacuum obtainable there are still over two billion mole
cu.wL of air per cubic centimeter, or about as many as there
are peop'e on the whole earth.
Heat a substance in a vacuum and you may discover
properties not revealed under ordinary pressure. A new
field for scientific exploration is opened.
Into this field the Research Laboratories of the General
Electric Company have penetrated. Thus one of the chem
ists in the Research Laboratories studied the disintegration
of heated metals in highly exhausted bulbs. What happened
to the glowing filament of a lamp, for example? The glass
blackened. But why? He discovered that the metal dis
tilled in the vacuum depositing on the glass.
This was research in pure science research in what
may be called the chemistry and physics of high vacua. It
was undertaken to answer a question. It ended in the dis
covery of a method of filling lamp bulbs with an inert gas
under pressure so that the filament would not evaporate so
readily. Thus the efficient gas-filled lamp of today grew out
of a purely scientific inquiry.
So, unforeseen, practical benefits often result when
research is broadly applied.
