A trainer of Nebraska football ma.
tor- thirtv-thren years. Jimmie, has
been an inspiration to the generations
of Nebraska athletics thut have gone
through the weary gn.ui of athletic
ss.vscns.
Those who read the words that he
gave to the men yesterday can easily
see why he has such an influence on
Cornhusker athletics. Mis speech fol
lows: "It Rives me great pleasure to con
gratulate one of the best teams Ne
braska has ever had. You are all fina
boys and I am mighty proud of the
way you have all worked together
and fought for the grand old scarhit
and cream. I look for a team that
can't be beat next year and will be on
the job to do my part."
on the larger book that have been (Lincolnshire,
written of the doedB of ones life. A Commercial
duplicate of ones school career will
be noted In It, and though It may be
it minor part, succeeding deeds will
have been Influenced by It.
Whether or not we may have
white leaf to our credit depends upon
our individual conduct; our conduct
depends upon our knowledge or right
and wrong and upon our ability to
direct ourselves along that which we
know to be right. Surely education
then will be one of our chief trainers
and advisors.
A blotted page Is truly a sad thing
to behold. It la doubly sad for It is
Indellhlv written and cannot bo
erased. However the Intensity and the
frequency of the blots is the factor
that determines the value or the lack
of value of th page.
Each of us Is our own architect, our
own printer, and our own engraver.
If only we might realize the welgir.
of our every deed, if 'fl might as
sume our obligations less lightly
knowing that in the future we might
receive even more reward than prid
for having added a clean white page
to the book of life! And finally when
our night conies may the morning of
another life be the brighter because of
the reflection of the spotlessness of
the previous day.

Yesterday's Editorial.
Already student opinions are pour
ing into the Daily Nebraskan office in
reply to the editorial which quoted
a letter written in protest to the pro
test to the statement that there was
true democracy at Nebraska. Today
and for several days to come tho
best of these letters will be published
for the thoughtful consideration of
Nebraska's student body.
There is no question but that the
condition brought out so well yester
day in the student opinion exists to
a certain extent. Many times in the
past and at the present time criticism
has been given of the snobbish feel
ing existing here at Nebraska, and
prospective students who would make
fine Cornhuskers are going to other
schools rather than to Nebraska for
just that reason.
What are the fundamental causes
for such a condition existing at Ne
braska? It is nothing new, for ever
since the founding of our mighty
school, one claas or another has been
looked upon as grasping and too dom
inant. "In the first, few years of our
history, the literary societies picked
only a few members each year and did
what it is said the fraternities do at
Nebraska today and were critized for
it.
Is it ignorant selfish youth that i'i
the cause of this condition? Is it org
anization, against no organization,
that does this? Is I lie housing ami
and boarding system wrong here at
Nebraska? Is our school becoming too
large and should there be a restriction
placed upon those attending?
Possibly the charges made are not
as true as they might be. Maybe the
workers of today really do love their
school? Maybe they are working for
it because they love the scarlet and
cream and not because they want to
take some position that means a great
deal of work, from some one who
could do it just as well, perhaps, but
who has not made the attempt to get

The Daily Nebraskan welcomes opin-'
ions of all those interested in this
question. Prom day to day this ques
tion will be discussed from different
angles and along with this discussion
the paper will publish letters both

STUDENT OPINION
Editor Daily Nebraskan:
May I add a word to the discussion
ever "democracy" at Nebraska, which
seems to be largely the old borh
Greek fight embers, smoldering still?
I would like to Include especially the
men's honorary societies in the di?
cussion, though this is not the first
article of this sort appearing on the
campus, nor will it, probably, be the
la3t, for human nature was ever thus.
That the fraternity man has' a great
er opportunity to get into student ac
tivities cannot be denied, since they
are pushed by (heir fraternity brotlKi'
upper-classmen The barb has no oiu
to start him, usually, and, unless
helped, will not start, to the detri
nient of the school activities and of
those already engaged in work of this
sort.
The. barb will always envy, in a de
gree varying with the individual, the
social times a man in an organization
has. But the Greeks have no right to
go further and take advantage of the
barbs lack of organization and run
the school activities without consult
ing the barbs who outnumber the
frat men by a ratio of 3 to 1 and
then expect everything to go smooth
ly, the barbs submitting docilely to
Hie decisions of committees made up
of frat men only: and such are ttn
men's honorary societies, and usually.
cla3s committees.
The girl's societies include fin lit
erary societies among their represent
ed organizations; occasionally an In
nocent is a barb, and often a Motar
board. But the men's three under
class organizations are still "inter
fraternity class honorary" and not
"class honorary." For what reasons
do these organizations, otherwise,
claim that no barb is ever worthy hon
orary ranking? Either the barb shon!d
be represented or these organizations
admit themselves to be a one-horse
team as far as 'honor' is concerned.
Representation of the lits, as in tie
girls societies, and kindred barb org
anizations cannot harm the groups al
ready existing, and will bring thorn
into contact with a larger proportion
of the campus, bring more men ii'io
school activities, and relieve one of
the chief causes of irritation between
barbs' and 'Greeks.'

Chemistry Chairman Discusses New
Field of Chemical Engineering.
Doctor Upson, chairman of the de
partment of chemistry, spoke before
the freshmen engineers Monday eve
ning on the field of the chemical en
gineer. Chemical engineering is the
newest branch of engineering and is
last becoming one of the most import
ant. Doctor Upson compared the chem
ical industry before the war, tho great
impetus given by the war, and its
present status. Before the world wax
the chemical industries were largeiy
continued to the inorganic field and
here they were well developed but
tho organic lield was in a state ol
experiment in most countries. Two
(.'In hiiial industries were well de
veloped, namely tiie sulphuric acm
and the caustic alkalis and these were
ery iinpurtunt as these materials
with their products play a very im
portant part in our modern indus
trial life.
In the organic field there were only
two important chemical industries,
the manufacture of alcohol und the
refinery of petroleum.
On the outbreak of the war, 90 pei
cent of the world's supply of djes was
controlled by Germany and they hati
patents on r.ll the better method.-'
then known fur their product lcn. Tut
textile industry was entirely depend
ent upon tiiese supplies for the dyes
and thus the war dealt a serious
blow to this industry and we were
almost forced to wear white clothes.
The dye industry is also closely al
lied to the explosive industry and a
dye works can easily be changed so as
to produce explosives or vico verm.
The same raw materials are used
and in many cases the by-products
from the dye industry are used in the
making (,f explosives. This is one
reason why Germany was so well
supplied with explosives on the out
break of the war while England was
not.
Soon after the outbreak of the wnr
chemical experts went to work to per
fecting plans for the preparation and
making of dyes in this country and
they were so successful that we now
have a drug and dye industry winch
is equal to that of Germany but due
to the large quanltlty that the Ger
man had on hand at cessation of hos
tilities the price at which they are
capable of selling them is far below
that possible to produce them in this
country and thus the government
should put an embargo on drugs and
dyes for five years, as England and
France have done, to protect the in
fant industries in this line.
Doctor Upson also read an article
from the Blue Print which ho wrote
some time ago, defining the duties
and qualifications of the chemical
engineer.
