AG COLLEGE RESENT
NAME OF STATE FARM
The University of Nebraska college
agriculture resents being termed
the "State Farm." The following from
the college of agriculture explains to
erase "State Farm" from the campus
vocabulary:
The college of engineering is . not
referred to as the "State Machine
Shop" the college of pharmacy as the
"State Drug Store," the college of
medicine as the "State Hospital," nor
nor the college of law as the "State
Court Room."
Some 30 or 40 or 50 years ago the
University of Nebraska acquired a
farm out northeast of Lincoln to be
used as the agricultural experiment
station of the industrial college. For
a number of years it was merely an
experimental farm, and was natural
ly called "University Farm." This
name was then abbreviated to "State
Farm," notwithstanding the fact that
in many states the term "State Farm"
designates a prison or similar insti
tution, and that in Nebraska the name
County Farm" refers to an institu
tion of a nature not exactly educational.
About 20 years ago the school of
aericulture came into being as a sec
ondary school under the industrial
college. About 12 years ago the re-
cents, by authority or tne legislature
split the industrial college into the
college of engineering, to be located
on the main University campus, and
the college of agriculture, to be locat
ed on the farm campus. Since that I
time the educational pHnt on the farm
campus has grown to such an extent
that another farm northeast of Unl.
Place was purchased for experimental
DurDoses to make room on the origin
al tract for the growing college of
agriculture. In various parts of the
state are 5 or 6 other experimental
AP.h-nf which Is
ill 1 vl OH " -
designated in its respective locality
as the "State Farm." In addition to
this there are under the board of con
trol several charitable, corrective, or
penal institutions each of which is
located on a "State Farm."
Does not the conege of agriculture
Reserve to be labeled as a college of
the University, rather than as penal
institution?
Several years ago the Lincoln Trac
tion DoniDanv banished the names
Cemetery," "Asylum." and "Peniten
tiary," fro tne street cars, substi
tuting therefor the names "Wuyka,"
"Sfatfl Hospital" and "Lancaster."
The company has recently promised
to eliminate "State Farm" and substi
tute therefor "AgrL College."
Join the campaign to eliminate
from our vocabulary (both spoken
and written) the curreDt expression,
"University Farm" and "State Farm,"
substituting therefor "College of Ag
riculture," "Agricultural College," or
Strange tho it may sound, the Ne
braska University museum is scattered
over the campus. Part of the museum
is housed In the building north of the
Armory, part is in the rooms of the
state historical society in the base
ment of the library, and part in art
hall. Not only that, but specimens are
Ptored in the basement and attics of
buildings, and in the steam tunnels
which ronnect the buildings. There is
enough material on display and stored
to house four buildings, each at least
fou rtimes the sizs of the present
museum building. A new building is
the plan to be carried out in some
future year.
There are many valuable and rare
specimens in the main museum, that
of tho giant hog, for instance, in the
C. H. Morrill collection, being one of
the two known specimens, and worth
$50,000. The four horned, antelope,
found in Sioux county, is the only spe
cimen of the kind in existence. This
exhibit was donated to the museum by
Howard J. Cook. There is a partial
fpecinietn the head and tusks of
the elephantus columbi, the giant ele
phant, on view. The tusks are each of
them something over ten feet long.
This speciment was found at Campbell,
Neb., at a depth of twelve feet, when
excavating for the new school house.
The first floor of the main museum
is devoted almost entirely to fossils,
most of them found in Nebraska
many of them donated, some loaned,
by people interested in the university
collection. The second floor is devoted
in the main to pottery, minerals, and
kindred materials. An exhibit of agate,
in the natural state, and in finished
articles, forms a case of interest. A
large case of drip stones formed by
dripping water in caves presents a
pleasing picture. Students will find
much of interest to them on this floor.
Practically the whole of the third
floor is devoted to birds and reptiles,
with a beautiful and complete collec
tion. Some of the mountings are very
natural, and an Imaginative person
could easily place himself In the actual
surrounding, and deem the exhibits
living creatures.
The entire museum is crowded so
that what exhibits are on display are
not adequately displayed in some in
stances, and all cases are crowded and
placed close to each other.
The state historical society collection
concerns itself mainly with the early
history of Nebraska. Besides a large
collection of relics, there are files of
Nebraska newspapers, in many cases
reaching back for twenty or more years
many documents of value, pictures,
photographs, and historical material
that could probably never to replaced
should it be lost.
One of the interesting relics is the
piano donated to the museum in 1914
by Mrs. A. N". Ferguson of Omaha.
This piano was brought to Nebraska,
to Sarphy county, in the spring of 1855,
on the first boat in. The edges of the
center keys are scalloped, showing the
constant practive. Mrs. Ferguson
writes that she was greatly in love
with her piano, and that she often
played. Sometimes, she continues, the
room would be suddenly darkened,
whUe she was playing. She would look
up to find the windows crowded with
Indians, who gathered to hear her
music.
Many of the relics deal with the
early history of the state. Probably
what was the first job printing press
in the state is shown. Spinning wheels
'are there. A great many Indian cos
tumes, robes, moccasins, pipes, and
headdresses fill the cases. There is
also a large collection of territorial
guns used by the pioneers.. Those who
are interested in arrow heads, pottery
and beads, will find many beautiful
specimens of the Indian art in the
several cases.
- That part of the museum concerned
with painting and scupture and some
branches of the fine arts is found in
art hall, second floor of the library
'building. Here are found some original
paintings, some good copies, and some
original and copied sculpture. The
room is arranged primarily so that the
specimens get the best lighting effects,
in order that the subjects may be
Viewed fiom the best angle.
The university museums are open
at regular hours to the university stu
dents, and no student can count his
education complete until he has spent
many hours in the museums, in the
study of the specimens and of their
history. All of the learning which is
gained here is not gained from text
books or from the lassrooms. The
museum and other things offer a part
of that knowledge which is gained out
side. .
Plumb-Schmidt The oldsr students
of the University will be interested to
know that on last Thursday evening
Mis3 Florence Plumb, 19 and Mr.
Frederick Schmidt, '20, were married
at York, Nebr. Tho First Method ist
church at York formed the netting lor
tho very pretty wedding. The wed
ding was one of the prettiest ever
witnessed in York.
The wedding was attended by h.;v
eral Wesleyan alumni and students.
