taxation end of the Cornhusker case,
the Press Citizen says:
"The last named speaker is but 17,
scarcely above the normal high school

of facts and eloquent presentation of
them. He was one of the spectacular
elements in Nebraska's fine showing.'

ES TALKS TO
MEMBERSOF AG CLUB
Block and Bridle and Dairy Clubs
Hear Head of Veterinary
Department
Dr. L. Van Es addressed the Block
& Bridle and the Dairy Clubs of the
University on "The Role of Veterin
ary Medicine," at a meeting held Tues
day evening, April fourth, in the Judg
ing Pavilion. This is the first of a
series of joint meetings to be held by
the two organizations semi-monthly.
Each will be addressed by a speaker
of note in the live stock world.
Dr. Van Es, who is head of the Vet
erinary department of the Ag College,
'briefly reviewed the rise of veterinary
medicine from the days of the quack
or medicine man who cured by -magic,
thru the days of farrier dootoring
with its "kill or cure" practices, up to
the present time of skilled medical at
tendance upon sick or injured ani
mals.
"War has been Europe's main in
dustry thruout the ages," declared the
ootor, "and it was primarily to meet
the need of the militarists for good
horses that veterinary science was
developed." The first veterinary col
lege was established at Lyons, France,
in 1780 by army men. Later these
lost control, but it is yet a state in
stitution. Similarly in all other Euro
pean countries the government retains
control.
But in the United States," the
doctor continued, "private parties have
established veterinary schools as a

Yov Can't Make A
Out Of A Sow's Ears Says Engraver
"You can't make a silk purse out of
a sow s ear.
This is admittedly a homely expres
sion, but these are exactly the words
used recently by the man who has
charge of the engraving for the 1922
Everybody's Cornhusker.
"The reason many college annuals
fail is because they display art work
that is not only cheap, but out of
harmony with the rest of the book.
That is why the 1922 yearbook at
Nebraska University will be sue
cessful.
"It would be unfair to give students
an idea of the vast amount of artis
tic work that will appear in this
year's annual. However, we can as
sure you that the art work will be
in keeping with the symbols of the
Cornhusker institution and will ex
press tho connecting link between
printed matter and Illustrations.'
The borders of each page of the
1922 Cornhusker deserve a special
paragraph themselves. They will not
be vari-colored, loud, almost repulsive
in their clash of colors and gaiety
FOUR CORNHUSKERS
WIN MAT LETTERS
Several Men Awarded Wrestling
Emblem Prospects Bright
For Next Year
Four Cornhusker grapplers, Captain
Floyd Reed, 158-pound class, Stanton
Troutman, 175 pound class, Thomas,
145-pounder, and rickwell, 115 and
125-pound class, were awarded "N's"
at a recent meeting of the athletic
awards board. Dale Renner, Isaac
son, Whealy and DeFord, other Husk
er wrestlers, were awarded "W. T.'s,"
the wrestling emblem. A meeting of
the wrestlers to elect a captain will
be held soon.
Prospects for a winning mat team
next year are exceedingly bright.
Only one regular, Pickwell, will bt
lost by graduation. With the rest of
the team back, and a number of prom
ising freshmen out for wrestling,
chances for a strong grappling team
next year are strong. Harry Trocnd
ley, wrestling coach, will leave the
Husker school this year, but will
coach the mat men throughout the
spring.
The open wrestling meet, in which
ar,y man can compete except those
who have been on the team, begins
tomorrow. A large number of good
grapplers have signified their inten
tion of entering the meetin, and some
hard-ofught bouts are expected. Dr.
Clapp and Coach Troendley are in
charge of the meet.
ORPHEUM HAS FEATURE
PLAY FORJIS WEEK
"The Last Trail," by Zane Grey
Starts Wednesday With
an all Star Cast
There are varying social levels, so
to speak, among highwaymen as well
as in other walks in life. The mod
ern holdup man of the city's dark
thoroughfares is generally, as we
know, a brutal ruffian. But there are
exceptions, in which he is found to
be a man of some culture and educa
tion, impelled to ward his unpopular
trade through persistent misfortune.
Both history and old time fiction
have thrown a glamor of romance
around the "knight of the road" of
former days who operated in the open
country, "far from the maddening
crowd." Most of us have met, in our
reading, the gentlemanly pursuer of
stage coaches or equistrians the
man who, in language and tones of
the drawing room, would rob a lady
of purse and jewels with a low bow
and a sweep of his hot, meanwhile
assuring her gently of her absolute
safety if she "stood and delivered."
The polished Claude Duval, who
was hanged at Tyburn in England in
1670, achieved fame and the admira
tion of the ladies in a degree for sur
passing many a man of genius in' the
learned professions. "Sixteen-string
Jack." has his niche in romance. One
Brennan was acclaimed in song of
old:
"Bold, brave and dauntless stood
Young Brennan on the moor."
And Robin Hood."Robin Hood and

and on the other hand, they will not
be comber and uninteresting. Espec
ially, the borders and designs on each
division sheet and on the frontispieces
have been worked out by experienced
artists.
The borders will be Indian in char
acter and represent a design used by
the redskins in their early rovings
on the Nebraska plains. They will
be something that will not detract
from the rest of the page because of
their brilliancy, but they will be dis
tinctive enough to catch the eye of
the most unobservlng.
Those who have not ordered their
1922 Cornhuske-s still have an op
portunity to enter theirsubscriptions
at the Student Activities office at t'je
southwest entrance of Administration
Hall. Students are urged to subscribe
at once before the few books left are
taken.
News in regard to the appaerance
of the annual will be forthcoming
soon. It is reported that a surprise is
in store for students in regard to the
debut of Everybody's classic.

ment and nervous strain of an all-day

NON-FRATERNITY MEN TO

An "All Barb Smoker" for the non-
fraternity men of the University of
Nebraska is being planned for the
near future by the committee of twenty-five.

of the school acquainted w-itb each
other for the mutual benefit of all
non-fraternity men and women in the
