Interesting contributions to suojec;;,
requiring deep thinking, at the three
convocations to be held for various
groups. Jorgen Hoelk is ill and wr.s
forced to give up all of his engage
ments for yesterday and today.
Those students do not represent a
majority, but they do represent a
thinking rtou p of young people of
ficials of th Student Forum state
This group is gaining force and mo
mentum and will some day be a de
ciding factor in all situations in Cen
tral Europe. Not one of these three
representatives is here asking for
sympathy from the American student
Thry do not request aid rather they
are the guests of America, and of
this particular university.. It will be
a very easy thing for these young
fellows to get an entirely biased and
unfair opinion of this school from any
discourteous or impertinent remar
or questionput to them, a member
0 the faculty said yesterday and Ne
braska must not mar her record for
impartial hospitality to everyone.
The point they ere suiving tc
pound home,' they say. Is the change
in the attitude of foreign students
towards America. They are trying tc
keep students in the United State
Informed of things happening In neigh
boring countries. Not in any sense
of the word are they spreading any
form of German propaganda.
Jasper King, the American reprc-.
sentative of the National Student
Forum will appear in the two convo
cations today. His talks will be
chiefly in the interests of the Na
tional Student Forum, and erplain
the ideals and aims of the Youth
Movement found in European conn
tries.
Mr. Tiesler has been the center of
interest for a number of reasons. He
is intensely sincere, he believes so
in the ideals and aims of the Youth
Movement that his presentation of
the subject is very forceful. In ex
planation of the movement in Ger
many and the conditions there, he
f-aid. "I could spend all your time
telling you about the deplorable con
ditions in my home country, but thai
is not what I came here for. I came
to tell you about the German Youth
Movement. It started about thirty
years ago in a little town near Ber
li.n with a group cf fifteen peop
This movement was at the time of
its birth mainly directed against thic
very thing."
He told how there was a longing i
th ir souls which could not be satis
fied by that system and bow those in
this organization lived different lives
than usual. People kept joining them
until, when the war broke out, then
were about twenty thousand member
"The German revolution was not a
revolution but merely a change ii;
t-ystems. What the German peopk
'ed is a leader, not a system. The
system was made by a man, and not
the man by a system. They want e
free thinking Independent man. It is
the aim of the organization to ad
vance education. It has no politita;
aim."
A Lenten Thought
For Every Day
"Whatsoever things are true.
Whatsoever things are honrable.
Whatsoever things are just.
Whatsoever things are pure.
Whatsoever things are lovely,
think on these things.'
From St. Paul's letter to the Fh:i
ipplans.
Story of the Founding of the University
On February 15, 1869, the bill au
thorizing the founding of an Institu
tion, the University of Nebraska, was
signed by the governor of the state,
says an article published l: the Uni
versity Journal, of which Wilbur
Peterson is editor.
Fifty-two years ago, for the first
time following the removal of the site
of the Nebraska state capttol from
Omaha to Lincoln, the Nebraska state
legislature met in regular session. It
was but two years after Nebraska had
been admitted to statehood, and for
that reason alone was a most histor
ically Interesting session. But, for the
University of Nebraska, that session
of the legislature was probably the
most significant of any since the Uni
versity's establishment, for it was
then that the act to charter the Uni
versity was passed. The bill. Senate
File No. 86, was introduced by E. E.
Cuningham of Richardson county, was
passed and signed by Governor David
Butler February 15, 1S60. On the last
day of the legislature, just two years
and six days following admission ot
the state to the union, the bill be
came a law. The bill read in part.
"The object of such institution shall bo
to afford to the inhabitants of the
state the means of acquiring a ther
ough knowledge of the various branch
es of literature, science, and the arts."
The charter of 1S69 provided for six
departments or colleges: A college ot
literature, the sciences, the arts: ot
agriculture: of law; of medicine; of
the practical sciences, and of the fine
arts. The latter college was to be
established when the annual Income
of the University reached $100,000. In
1S75, the college of agriculture was
united with the practical sciences,
making but five colleges.

"The men are judged on their ap
pearance and deportment, their ath
letic ability, and their efficiency ia
military subjects," stated Captain
Forbes of the Military Science de
partment- "The points count cn the
rating of the college, of the man him
self, and of the unit to which he be
longs."
Missouri won the best rating at th
camp last year, by nosing cut Nebras
ka in the last day of competition. Th
men who are to go to camp hif
year are being given a little etr;
attention in order to give them a bet
ter chance to beat Missouri.
The camp is about seven miles fro'

Is in Control of
Elections.
Filings for the class elections to be
held February 20 must be turned in
by noon today at the office of Stu
dent Activities, according to a notice
issued by the Student Council, which
controls all student elections. Filings
arc coming in slowly, perhaps due to
oversight.
At these elections, each class will
choose its president for the second
semester. The members of each ot
the three lower classes will elect
one from their number to serve on
the Publication Board. The senior
class will choose the Ivy Oay Or
ator. The junior and senior president
will assist the Ivy Day Orator in
planting the ivy on Nebraska's tra
ditional srring fete day. The orator
delivers the principal speech of the
day, and custom has made him a
leading figure in the ceremonies.
This honor has gone to men in the
past. The part taken by the presi
dents of the two upper classes makes
their selection of special interest dur
ing the second semester.
Four faculty members in addition
to the three students elected next
week will make up the Student Pub
lication Board "of next year. This
croup selects the board of editors for
the Daily Nebraskan. and. under the
new ruling, the Cornhusker officials.
All campus publications are under its
general jurisdiction. The faculty
members are Prcf. M. M. Fogg, Prof.
S. B. Gass. Prcf. II. E. Bradford, and
Prof. M. G. Wyer.
The student Council will announce
the places ot voting later. It has full
authority to regulate student elec
tions. Campus Is Not So
Small as It Seems
The average student associates the
size of our University campus with
those tracts containing the city cam
pus, the College of Agriculture, and
the Medical College at Omaha. The
University campus in itself is a side
issue, regarding the size of the cam
pus. The Agriculture Extension De
partment alone has a territory which
is included by the boundaries of the
state. The boundaries of the Univer
sity includes not only the United
States and those countries bordering
it, but also those countries to which
information in the form cf books and
bulletins are sent. The size of the
size of the tract of ground upon which
the buildings are lorated, then, be
comes a minor detail in the actual
size oi the University campus.
