Possible Exchange Between Eng.
lish Department and Univer
sity of Baroda in India.
Possible exchange of service for
one year between Professor Joshi ,n
Baroda college. India, and Dean Philo
M. Buck of the University of Ne
braska, has been suggested by the
Carndfrie foundation. Negotiations
are now under way to accomplish the
exchange. Professor Joshi Monday
gave out a statement to the Asso
ciated press in which he said he was
considering exchanging services with
a representative of the English de
partment of the University of Nebras
ka. If everything is completed as plan
ned, Dean Buck will go to India
shorily after the completion of the
fall registration and will return early
the next spring. He wil bo gone
about four or five months, during
which time one of the senior profes
sors in the arts and science collego,
of which he is head, will handle tho
work of his college.
Chancellor Samuel Avery of the
university gave out the folowing
statement Wednesday aftornoon:
"An Associated press dispatch from
Chicago Monday morning stites that
Professor Joshi of Baroda college, In
dia, has announced that he is consid
ering a year's exchange of service
with a representative of the English
department of the University of Ne
braska. This dispatch has aroused
considerable interest in local univer
sity circles and while it is not the
intention here to give out anything
for publication during the tentative
negotiations, inasmuch as Professor
Joshi has spoken it sems advisable
to take the public fully into our con
fidence. "India has long ben a country of
great interest to the western world.
Columbus discovered America while
seking a passage to the Ind'ed. The
nime of the West Indies Wands as
everyone knows came from t"..e mis
take of the early voyagers wlio first
made America known to the civilized
world. The subject of India is es
pecially interesting now owing to the
nationalistic movement. England is
facing on a very large scale the same
rroblem that we have with the Phil
ippine islands on a small scale. The
problems of government, religion, and
commerce as well as the general in
tellectual and social development of
peoples whoso, complextion 13 more
highly pigmented that ours i3 of tre
mendous interest.
"The suggestion that there should
be an exchange of the services of
Professor Joshi with Dean Duck of
this institution came through the
Carnegie foundation. The lattei 6Pcnt
his boyhood in India, receiving a con
sidL-rable part of his early education
there, and is one of the very few,
perhaps the only, scholar In an Amer
lean university of standing who speaks
freelv Hindustani, the most diffused
medium of communication :n that
ruJifot omniro Ho is further a
i - .' r-. ' - - - --
ucoenized literary man whos writ
ines on conditions in India would be
gladly received by the press and
hence whatever he may publish in re
gard to his observations has a wide
circle of readers. Furthermore, hl3
parents are missionaries in India and
he would have private as weU as of
ficial oDDortunities of getting In touch
with Indian, conditjions and senti
ment.
"In view of all these consider
Hens the administration has looked
with favor on the proposed exchange
of professors, the overhead of which
is to be carried by the Carnegie foun
dation without expense to the insti
tutions concerned. The matter has
not been definitely settled a? there
three parties to the proposition, the
authorities of Baroda coHefc3, the Car
negie foundation and the University
of Nebraska. Inasmuch as the pro-
yosal came from the Carnegie founda
tion it is understood that arrange
menu are practically complete so fai
as this organization is concerued.
A formal invitation has not yet
come from the college lit Indil but it
is understood that the authorities
there art in a receptive mood Th
matter will be presented to tne reg
ents of fhe university for their ap
proval in the near future. In case

Armour & Co., was the first of the

had general supervision of the work
In the Omaha plant from the first.
This plan is a development of the last

large measure of regulation if com

The theory underlying thi system Is
that by giving the working force a
