MILITARY TRAINING.
From the time that man first real
ized that ho needed protection ami
must defend himself until tho twen
tieth century when elaborate plans
are made for self-preservation In case
of necessity' the male population has
always been trained in the art 01
warfare. The further development
of society has helped somewhat to
abolish the troubles between stales
but the recent war has diminished
the hope of forever banishing the
shadow of war.
In our own University, military
training is compulsory. It not only
broadens one's conception of the var
ious phases of life hut creates or
augments the desire of a person to
be physically fit. The intricate meth
ods of modern warfare, the care with
which each elements of the whole
system is chosen and cared for, all
help to remove the science from the
category of the undesirable. The
rude soldier of the Elizabethian age
has been replaced by a clean, healthy
and morally fit man that would be
capable of putting to rout the entire
body guard of the famous queen.
Officers are chosen with care so
that anyone in charge of men is a
capable person. Education is put be
fore the mere numbers of the force.
The first training is oji the why or
every thing and not the command to
do it. Advancing civilization lays
more and more stress on education
and military science has been keep
ing pace. Cliff dwellers first threw
stones with little sense of reasoning.
The Greeks were the first to fight
in a definite formation but the art
declined again and was revived nfti
the Dark Ages to be developed into
the scientific methods used in the
recent conflict.

The street-cars were jammed befors

Opinion
A Man and His School,
There are two two pood reason1,
why traditions, customs, and cere
monies are valuable to a collece.
The first one is that they serve to
draw the student into college life.
They make him feel he is really a
part of the institution. They iden
tify him with the spirit, the soul, of
the school. They draw out the best
that is in him. Through them he
learns the rules of give and take,
when to get mad, and when to hold
his temper: when to submit, and
when to protest, lie begins to feel
the influence of these customs, tra
ditions, and ceremonies entwining
themselves about his heart, so that by
the time he is a senior they have
become a part of him, their infh
once is stamped on him forever, and
he has taken to himself an intang
ihle part of his alma mater.
The second reason is that these
tr.nlitions. customs, and ceremonies
are the things that bind him most
strongly to his school long after lie
has passed out of it. They are the
last thing he forgets and the first
thine he wants to see and hear about
when he comes hack. His greatest
successes of life are forgotten in the
memory of his college activities, the
solemnity of this or that ceremony.
Or the squalor and hardship of his
position can be easily pushed from
his mind by a flood of reminiscence
that brings back again to him the
days of his college life. Teachers,
curricula, methods, and facts change
and are replaced, but the influenc.
the memories of college ceremonies,
customs, and taditions remain forever.

U-NOTICE
THE OLD BLEACHERS.
The old bleachers and the grand
stand on Nebraska' Field have seen
their last football game. When the
Round of the din after the Thanks
giving game had died away, and the
Jubilant throngs had filed out of the
gates, the farewell had been taken
and its service ended.
Next year a new stadium will have
been erected. There was not one
person in that crowd of 15,00(1 that
Jammed the stands last Thursday
that did not realize the pressing need
of such a structure. Yet the very
thought that this was the last pame
at which such crowded conditions
would exist somewhat mitigated the
disappointment over the hopelessly
Inadequate accommodations at the
Notre Pame game. The new stadium
Is a fond dream long cherished and
anticipated, and its imminent realiz
ation brings rejoicing to the hearts
of Cornhuskers.
The history of the old bleachers Is
crammed with triumphs, sprinkled
defeats and seasoned with disappoint
ments. The glory that has been Ne
braska's during a long vista of years
1b carved upon its escutcheon.
We are glad that the last game
played within its confines ended to
Nebraska's credit. The frenzied
cheers that rolled across the gridiron
from the old stands in salute to the
victorious Scarlet and Cream were a
fitting and a glorious valedictory.

JUST AT the time.
WHEN I was swamped.
UNDER THE rush.
OF A busy day.
A MAN breezed in.
WHO SMILED at me.
AND HELD out his hand.
AND MADE me guess.
WHO HE was.
AND I knew.
I SHOULD have known.
BUT I was afraid.
I'D MAKE a mistake.
IF I tried to guess.
AND HE asked me.
IF I remembered.
TWELVE YEARS ago.
THE TIME we were out.
IN THE automobile.
AND I said sure.
BUT OF course I didn't.
AND I asked him how.
HIS BROTHER was.
AND HE told me.
HE HAD no brothers.
AND THEN came back.
AND ASKED me.
HOW I was coming.
AND A lot of things.
THAT MADE him sound.
LIKE A questionnaire.
AND ALL the time.
I WAS trying.
TO MAKE out who he was.
AS HE went on.
TO TELL me.
HE HAD an hour.
IN BETWEEN trains.
AND HAD looked me up.
TO TALK old times.
AND TO help things on.
I SAID to him:
"HOW'S YOUR brother?"
AND HE told me.
HE HAD no brothers.
AND I didn't listen.
BECAUSE I was wishing.
HE'D HURRY up and go.
SO I could get back.
ON MY busy day.
BUT HE rambled on.
TELLING TO me.
WHO DIDN'T care.
JUST WHERE he'd been.
AND AFTER while.
HE SAID it was time.
FOR HIM to go.
AND HE took my hand.
AND JUST for something.
TO SAY I said .
"HOW'S YOUR brother?"
AND HE said fine.
AND AS a reunion.
IT LACKED a band.
AND A lot of things.
I THANK you.

Jeweled Pin Is Good
Gift for Christmas
Is it possible that good Queen
Elizabeth received a fraternity pin
as a Christmas present way back in
15S0?
At any rate, we are told by the
historian William Sandys that she ro
ceived a "Jewel of gold an alpha and
omega garnished with sparks of din
monds." Whether or not tho pin had
her initials and the Burr, Paterson
monogram on the back, history does
not tell us.
Other gifts which, according to
Sandys' this famous queen received
on Christmas and New Year's Days
were a prayer-hook richly bound and
Illuminated, embroidered smocks, col
lars of gold, silver, and silk, and
a quince pie! Tho last was the gift
of her sergeant of tho pastry nnd
represented tho custom of glvinc
presents associated with the giver's
profession.
From her aporticcary, for example
we are told the Queen received a box
of lozenges, while her doctors favored
a pot of orange blossoms or a pot of
ginger. The silk stockings presented
by her silk-woman in 1560 are said
to have been the first pair ever worn
in England.
The thrifty Queen even received
gifts of money from her more pecun
ious subjects as well as ornate purses
in which to keep it. However, those
about her apparently were well aware
of their sovereign's delipht in per
sonal adornment for we find that
jewelry, mantles, and gowns were tar
in the majority among gifts. In
deed, so many were the gowns which
this fashionable lady acquired during
her life, that she is said to have left
2,000 behind at her death.
We are told that on accasions the
Queen's gifts did not please her nnd
then she was very frank in makina
known her displeasure. The prayer
book she received, for example, was
considered as violating the imperial
decree against religious images, pic
tures, and relics and the Queen mad
known that she wished no repetition
of such a breach.
This must not be taken as evidence
of impiety, however, for we are told
that when the new Queen made her
stately entrance into London just be
fore the Christmas festival In
there was arranged a beautiful page,
ant to express her Christmas devo
tion; from one of the triumphal

In justice to Elizabeth it must be
