EXTENSIVELYENTERTAINED
Tells of Growth of New Era of In
ernationalism Throughout
the World
Dr. crow K. McLean, former
chancellor of tno u,mt,u
Hrossed students and friends at a
nvo.atl.rn Hold In his honor Thurs
L morning at 11 in the Tempi. Dr.
Mclean completed a two-day visit on
the campiiB last evening. Before his
departure he expressed surpriso and
mat pleasure at the rapid growth
of the University slneo 1S99, when he
loft to become ehanccllor of Iowa
University.
After a few hrlef reminiscences and
a general greeting. Dr. McLean gave
his audience at convocation a mes
sage urging the realization of Amer
ica's international responsibilities.
Between forty and fifty faculty mem
bers who served under Dr. McLean
wore seated on the stage. The Uni
versity orchestra gave three numbers
Professor P. H- Grumann Introduced
the speaker.
Pr. McLean touched upon the fas-
eination of the plains In beginning
and continued by calling to mind sev
eral men who he left were largely
responsible for the progress of the
University. Ho pointed out that It Is
not bricks or towers or books that
make a University, but personalities
He feels that in spite of political
turmoil America will be safe through
its Universities, especially its state
Universities.
Dr. McLean sketched the growth of
the new era of Internationalism from
the three great eras which have pre
ceded It, namely the colonial era, the
era of sectionalism, and the era of
nationalism. He declared that Amer
ica did not want to be a world power,
that she did not seek it but that it
has been the will of destiny for her
to become one. "We don't want to
be there, but we are there and being
there, think of the responsibility and
opportunity involved," he said.
He pointed out that America went
into the war to escape being involved
in the great European political mess,
and that she cannot escape being in
volved in the less difficult mess
which has followed. Americans are
attempting to remedy the situation
by their gifts of money for relief
work. Dr. McLean emphasized tht
fart that prevention is better than
cure in international affairs as well
as in medicine, and that the real
good to be accomplished lies in pre
venting war instead of trying to heal
its disastrous effects.
Dr. McLean gave the Union of
American Universities as one of the
effective agencies at work in the in
terests of Internationalism, and out
lined a little of its work. Exchange
of professors and interchange of stu
dents are two of its methods of cre
ating good feeling between America
and Great Hritain, which Dr. McLean
believes is normal between two na
tions so ali'e fundamentally.
The ex-chancellor djscussed the
necessary results of a future war.
The inventions of science would
cause the annihilation of the peoples
of the world to such an extent that
civilization would have to go back
several centuries and make a new
start. The question confronting na
tions today is, then, "How shall we
win the peace" Dr. McLean's solution
of the problem Is to establish an un
derstanding between the peoples of
the world. He believes that nations
niust know each other as their citi
zens learn to know each other In
America.
The speaker finished with the plea,
"Nebraska, central, progressive, stand
for a true Internationalism.'
Dr. McLean left for Iowa City at
midnight Thursday. He was escorted
to the train by members of the Fac
ulty Men's club whose dinner guest
he was at the Grand hotel last eve
ning. Prof. E. H. Barbour was chairman
of the committee In charge of the
festivities held In connection with the
visit of the ex-chancellor.

An expertly finished twenty-Inch

from one set of castings and lnac
curate blue prints is the record of
trade-school men and mechanical en
glnoering students of the University
of Nebraska. This feat, performed
In the machine tool laboratory
attracted the attention of all
Cio schools in this part of the coun
try, as lb exemplifies the highest
:;po of machine finishing with not
cue error during the whole job.
The University of Iowa recently
sent a delegation composed of the
instructor of its machine tool labora
iory and several assistants to see
how the work was arranged and
handled. The parts were scheduled
so that all were finished in approxl
mat'y the same length of time.
Instructors in all surrounding val
ley schools have expressed their won
der that with student workmanship
but one set of castings was required.
Students usually require about three
sets of castings before obtaining a
complete machine. This achievement
was only possible because of the ex
pert supervision of Mr. Ben Hemple
in the laboratory, according to Mr.
C. A. Sjogren, instructor in charge
About 2"0 parts are incorporated in

Return Engagement for This
Company Here Play is "The
Imaginary Invalid"
On Tuesday evening, November 14,
the Coffer-Miller Players will be at
the Temple theatre in Moliere's great
est comedy, "The Imaginary Invalid."
This brilliant satire on the doctors
of the early centuries is even fun-
nlar ami more clever than "The
Rivals," which the company present
ed last year. The company, besides
Jesse Coffer and Martha Miller in
the leading roles, has one of the best
supporting casts on tour today. The
plain green curtain of "The Rivals"
is replaced by tapestry hangings
which enrich and enhance the effect
upon the eyes and the iimagination.
The popularity of the Coffer-Miller
Players Is evidenced by the fact that
they are returning to, each of the
110 cities visited last year. Our
leading normal schools and represent
ative high schools retain them os
their schedules.
The play this year will be present-
ted under the auspices of the Uni
versity Players. Seats are on sale at
the Ross P. Curtice Company at
seventy-five cents plus war tax.
Jess Coffer and Martha Miller are
building an organization to give bet
ter drama to' the American colleges
and communities. They believe In

ous companies.

American Society for the Control of
Cancer in its official bulletin de
scribes these signals as follows:
"Any lump, especially in the breast.

"Persistent indigestion with loss of
weight.
"Go immediately to a hospital, or
a reputable physician and insist upon
a thorough examination.
"Dont be ashamed to talk about
cancer."

The efforts of the committee were
hampered in the morning because of
an insufficient number of men at
tho booths.
A luncheon at noon, followed .
speaking, boxing and wrestlfrTg, Jd
the Nebraska-Kansas Aggie football
game in the afternoon, constitute the
official program of the day. There
will be room for only about five hun
dred men and their dads in the Ar

occasion of the kind to be celebrated

Pictures for the Cornhusker must

end of next week if they are to be
used before Christmas according to
announcement of the staff for the
1922-23 annual last night.
November IS is the last day that
the individual pictures can be taken
before the Christmas holidays be
cause of the rush of work which the
photographer has at that time.
Photos at the school rate will be
taken again after the first of the
vear and will be in time for inser

photographer in charge of the pic
hires for the annual to close the
period preceding the holidays to -
dent rates. This year, more picture
than usual have been taken early so
that a rush at the end Is not as
probable as usual.

for some time. Complete business
staff appointments will be given out
after midsemester reports have been

MATH CLUB HOLDS
INITIAL MEETDXG
OF SCHOOL YEAR
The Math club held its first meet
ing of the year Wednesday evening
Dean Encberg spoke to a group of

held for the election of officers for
the coming year. The following of
ficers were selected:
Geo. E. Read, president.
A. S. Metcalf, rice-president.

Helium was recovered from natural
