Tho final celebration of the com pletion of the football season comes next Friday evening when the Univer sity men gather for the Cornhusker banquet and the women stage their annual Cornhusker party. These two celebrations on the same night are traditional for this school. Tales are told of past affairs when the Cornhuskers, tfte men In their way and the women In theirs, made merry at the close of successful foot ball seasons. The glorious record made by the toan this year, the out look for a new Memorial Stadium for next year and the loyal spirit which the student body has exhibited give reason for a climax on Friday night which shall far exceed any previous Cornhusker celebration. The arrangements to hold the ban quet at the Scottish Rite Temple will make it possible for a far greater num ber of men to attend than it has been possible to accommodate in the past No limit is placed on the number of women who may attend the Girls Cornhusker party. Every woman in the University is expected to come to the Armory Fridajnight. Is is a time for every woman to show her own originality in costuming for the affair. If there are those who have always had a suppressed deBire to be a man. a dainty Japanese or an Indian maiden, they may live for the night as the character of their imagination. Plenty of entertainment will be pro vided at both of the celebrations. Only one reort can be given on the wind up to the gridiron season. Everyone goes "a good time is had by all." montal adventure, as only a groat genius can, when ha wrote: "No gen erous mind can stop in itself; it ever makes claims and goes beyond its strength; it has sallies beyond its effect; if it does not advance and press forward, and retire and drive home, and recoil upon itself and turn about, it Is but half alive." In other words, Montaigne realized that the are minds in existence which live from day to day in comatose state; and that the owners of such minds suffer from mental lethargy, which terminates only when they pass out of existence Into the definite eternity. But these is yet another aspect to this problem of mental adventure. When once we have left the land of peaceful ignorance there is no return. We must either keep striving for fur ther truth and knowledge, trying- to overcome the most serious of prob lems and trying to conquer in every mental struggle, or we must admit detent acknowledge ourselves beat on and the captives ot our ment'.l foes. As Edward Powden, in nil es say on Montaigne, so aptly says: "We cannot return to the simple state of tho pleasant: having once eaten of tl.e insane root which ravages tlie brain with (he disease of speculation, we can heal our malady only by pur suing the problems that harass us tin til we have solved them or ascer tained that they are insoluble. A hasty agonist icism is, indeed, treason against the intellect of man." Thus we se that we are confronted by two alternatives we must ad vance further and further into the realms of knowledge or we must stand still in our tracks, the owners of semi-developed mentalities, the half-completed products of partial ed ucation. The latter alternative is bound to be ill-fated and men who have chosen to do this have caused disaster to f.nll upon themselves and upon their fellow-men. The reason is simpl They are like ships that are only half constructed and when storms aris thev do not survive. They are men living in the light and half !n the lark, possessing partly formed ideas, coming to illogical conclusions and formulating unsound judgments. And this is all the result ot stopping off at the convenient intermediate sta tion between sound understanding, at which few of us arrive, and blissful ignorance, from where we all start. We, as students, are still in the middle region and the heights of at tainable knowledye are far distant We must remember, however, not to choose the unfortunate alternative. We can never attain mental perfec tion put the extent of our develop ment depends entirely upon ourselves. Let us take care that we do not stay in the middle region of mediocrity.

Louise round of the Depart ent of English, as western vice pres ident of' the American Dialect So ciety, has arranged a meeting, in joint session with the Central Di vision of the Modern Language As sociation at Chicago, December 29.

Mrs. Walter F. Meier (Anna L Jones. '02). wife of the corporation counsel of Seattle, recently visited the campus for the first time in twenty years. She remarked that there is one place that looks just as it used to the Library reading room whhh was so crowded twenty years ago that students had difficulty find ing seats. THE FORUM. The Forum, the new organization backed by the Freshman Laws, has met not only with the popular ap proval of a large number of interested students but also it has attracted at tention outside of the University. This is evidenced by the prominence given to the first meeting in press reports. The Nebraska State Journal on De cember 8 usee the results of the first discussion as a basis for a long edi torial comment on 1h subject consid ered. "The University student.-; who went to hear a debate on the Nebraska code came away convinced by two to one' that the code is a good thing and should stand. This is the op'r.ing sentence in an editorial which goes on to give arguments in support of the code. The Torum has scored a distinct triumph in this first meeting by the instruc tive discussion of a topic which Is of vit;il Interest in Nebraska at the present time Announcements of topics for discussion, already made, indicate that equally up-to-the-minute, inter esting and important topics will be taken up it future meetings. As well as serving to help clarify the thinking of University students on topics of importance the Fonim will serve as showing those outside of the University that the students can and do interest themselves in present day problems.

A university Is an institution which exists fundamentally for the ad rancement of learning and as such it should hare no nooks or crannies for dormant mentalities or 'dead-wood personalities. And rightly bo. Stu dents are essentially those who are In erch of knowledge and la order to be successful must be In posses sion of keen, active minds which do not hesitate to tackle the most diffi cult problems with tenacity and per severance.
