THE CAMPUS BEAUTIFUL.
Kvcry city has seme particular thin
to which it points with pride: every
class ras iis particular "shining light;"
and now the University ynf Nebraska
mn bo:ist of a "cam pas beautiful" that
iS wnm'nff .1 re-.il it v. For many lous i
vears it was only written
that our 1
campus would be ext-nd. d and beau
tified. rat when you buin
the Fcraring of 'lows, the click of;:1'"191,1
spades and :;n see something moving,
it is then that your spiiiU begin to
soar and j.ia say to poar.-i !f. "It haj
conir t j pass."

The Greater Nebraska program is
being fulfilled and a Greater Nebraska ;
is within view.
When the dust or
hard work clears away in a few years,
a lasting monument to a great insti
tution will be revealed.
Little would yoi suspect that the
champion butter producer of the state
lives at the school of Agriculture in
Lincoln, judging from the amount of
o'eomargarine used each day by fra
trenity, sorority and moarding houses.
Nebraska wil meet Iowa in debate
the latter part of this month. An
attempt will be made to defend th3
saying: The pen is moightier than
the sword." The members of Neb
raska's Think Shop are already pen
ning heir lines in preparation for the
contest, under the guiding hand of
Professor M. M. Fogg.
We regret the resignatio of Dean
Fordyce of the Teacher's College but
are glad that he will remain at Nel
braskaas profersor and chairman of
the Department of Educational Mea
surements and Restarth. in which
he has faithfully worked since h?
came to the Cornhusker school.
THE HAPPENINGSG OF TODAY...
University students ulect history
courses and read about things that
transpired hundreds even thousands
of years ago. yet they are ignorant of
the things that are happenings in thj
United States at this very moment
The study of history is very inter
esting and intellectual but it shoulJ
not entirely replace the study and
reading of the present-day problems.
How many college students read the
newspapers even enough to get the
gist of the main happenings of eaca
day? You will say you haven't the
time. It takes but fire minutes to
scan a good newspaper and digiest
tbe most important news litems, with
a few non-essential paragraphs thrown
in for good measure. It is lucky for
some of us that the news reel was
invented. Otherwise we would b3
fools living in a scholar's paradise.
How can we talk intelligently oon
present day affairs without knowin;
something of what is going on about
ns. How can we meet our friends?
We should not be so absorbed in our
own University and our own limited
existence that we are totally ignorant
that there is an outside woorld with
live people in It. 11 the things do not
happen on the campus. Don't neglect
the history of today.
The Daily Iowan advocates the plan
of each father giving his son a car for
his last two years of college. Very
good, but then remember that al
though Iowa has more cars than any
other state In proportion to her pop
ulation, there are not quite enough
to supply each family with two ma
chines, ad again, let as remind Iowa
that in such cases the advent of the
car into school life makes an Invi
tation to the Dean's formal a certain
thing in some cases, and often gnaws
it the pocket-book until a good-sized
hole is made.
A FRATERNITY ROW.
Suggestions have come to us that
it would be desirable to create a
"Fraternity Row," at Nebraska, anl
S street has been sugested as a de
sirable street. Many universities havo
a certain thoroughfare that is fronted
by each sorority and fraternity home.
Student opinions and controversoy
on the matter is invited by the Daily
Nebniskan. Would a fraternity row
be a good thing for Nebraska an,:
would S street be a suitable street?

AN HOUR'S WORK.
Just as there are a thousand and
one avenues of expenditures in whicii
our money ran either be wafted or put
to advantage, there are all kinds o'i
ways to use our time. Many a student
fails to keep track of his finances an l
niore
oftrn than not is inclined to
throw dollars to the winds, practically j
regardless of consequences. And the
same student, along with a host of.
fellows
often handles his tun
witn tlio same lacu or nistTinuiriumi.

and certainly the- average college stu

some basis 011 which to ground himself
in seeking the ultimate attainment ot

An hour spent in leisurely dreaming
over the pages of an open textbook
does not mean that an hour has been
ppent to good advantage. It is only
the time we give in earnest concentra
tion that does us any real good; and
that sort of' work means, first of all.
a definite interest in the subject at
hand coupled with a desire to improve
our knowledge of it, and secondly, 1
willingness to devote some real time
and effort toward securing that know

TO DECIPHER MANUSCRIPT
AT P. B. K. BANQUET
A descriptive deciphering of the
famous Woynich Rcger Bacon manu
script by the distinguished Prof. Will
iam Romaine Newbold. will take place
in May at the Phi Deta Kappa ban
quct. Professor Newbold's address
will elucidate the system of ciphers
in which the Voynich manuscript is
written and will show that many cf
Paeon's ostensibly alchemical works
are in fact written in the same system
differently applied.
The celebrated Voynich manuscript
is a small quarto English work of the
thirteenth century, written in cipher
profusely illustrated with drawings
touched up with water color. It was
discovered some years ago by Wilfrid
Voynich who has attributed it upon
good evidence to Roger Bacon, the
famous English philosopher and scien
tist who died not long after 1292.
Portions of the text deciphered by
Professor Newbold confirm this attri
bution, it is said. The drawings prove
that the author possessed a micro
scope of high power and a telescope,
and that with their aid he saw and
drew celestial and anatomicaj objects
which, so far as is at present known,
had never before been seen by the
human eye and were not again to be
seen for centuries.
