that these students and their opinions

Following the speeches of these men
always opportunity was given for
questions and comments. During these
periods Nebraska spirit and Nebraska
thought soon asserted itself. The fact
that Nebraska students did assert
themselves both for and against vari

we are centered solely in the limits
of our schools, but that Nebraska
thought is blending with the worlds'

Members of the Publication Board
will have a large part in the selection
of the students to guide the Nebras

The importance of this to the whole
school will easily be seen and no snap

polls on February 20.
The alumni Association deserves the
hearty backing of the students in its
efforts to make Charter Day the an-; oursoves an acUve mcmber of tlie

With the departure of these three
European guests we are left with new
thoughts, and new appreciations of
Europe and her problems.

the state and, as far as possible, over
the world. In days past, Charter Day
was celebrated as a University holiday
but in recent years not much interest
has been shown as February 15 drew
near.
The Alumni Association plans a
fecial radio program which is to be
broadcast to Nebraska alumni far and
wjde from the classes of the '70's to
the classes of the 1020's. In the fu
ture, the local alumni associations will
each have a meeting on Charter Day

starting a new twelve-month cycle
at the same time as the University it

The closing lines of the address of
the Chancellor to the alumni last eve

for Nebraska: "The University of
Nebraska will continue to progress

people, will maintain its position as
One of the great intellectual centers

Last summer a group of American
college men representing all of the
universities in the United States made
an extensive tour of Europe for the
purpose of studying the conditions of
European students and schools, and
with the plan of exchanging ideas and
Opinions. During their tour from
June to September they were received
with every degree of hospitality nd
extended every welcome that was pos
sible under sometimes almost impos
sible conditions. Germany, Russia,
Poland and all of the other countries
were alike in that they each tried to
surpass the other in the reception of
this American Student Tarty. What
was the result of the tour? Not only
did the students of the party see and
learn the existing conditions first
hand, not only did thoy become farther
sighted in international vi.-ion; but
they returned to the United States
leaving behind them in every country
visited, a more understanding people,
a more internationally sympathetic
humanity. In this manner America
and American feelings were carried
with success to Europe who returned
Europe and European sentiments.
Medical science has taught us that
it is possible and often necessary to
transfer the blood of one person into
another. In such an operation the
person giving the blood loses nothing
eventually while the receiver is greatly
benefitted. In like manner the science
of international relations teaches us
today that each country must by sacri

f tradition and a different hlstorlcnl
background. "School life thero has
lwuys been a serious matter. Because
wer s'udonts in European coun
tries have the opportunity to attend
university, those that do attend ap
predate more keenly tholr advantag
os. In America, social life nnd other
activities are more strongly stressed
than in Europe, but this is due to the
frontier spirit here which likes the
-inn that does . things. The trouble
with many Europeans, however, is
that they judge American students
subjectively regard them from the
point of view of a European back
ground and do not see the facts as
they are.''
Trofessor Jones said his experience
had been under pre-war conditions
and that he had no authoritative in
formation with regard to the present
standards of European students. "Be
fore the war, however," rrofossor
Jones asserted, "the European stu
dents, especially the Enelish and the
German, were much given .lo sports
and dueling. Taking the European
students as a whole, I don't believe
they are any more serious than out
students here. Before the war,, tin
majority of European students made
no pretense to study. The great body
of them went, or did not go to lec
tures, Just as they liked."
Professor Fling, In reply to the
question, declared:
"The difference of university life on
the continent and here is so profound
that one must go through it to under
stand it. German universities art
not colleges. College work there Is
taken up in their secondary schools.
Much higher standards are main
tained In German secondary schools
than in our high schols. Before the
r, the instructors were required t'
lave a doctor's degree and to pass a
tate examination before they could
teach in a gymnasium. German stu-
ents when they entered university
were much better equipped than our
freshmen are who enter from high
school. American students are no
where subjected to the stiff discipline
that obtains in European secondary
chools. The immaturity and igno
rance of our students here is astound-
ng. Their inability to do real ork
and to. think for themsolves Is dis
tressing. However, I do not believe
that the advantage possessed by the
European student his taking hlmselr
seriously is dn to a difference of
ability. It is due to a difference In
preparation."
The last man to whom we put the
question was Chancellor Avery. He
said that his experience with German
universities had been gained twenty
five or thirty years ago. At tlmt time,
he said, the German students spent
their llrst year doing nothing "re
cuperating" from the severe discipline
they hud beeu subjected to In their
secondary schools. "If we had the
the hilarity and frivolity hero in Uni
versity of Nebraska that were com
mon in Heidelberg twenty-five years
bko," the chancellor declared, "the
Legislature would put us out of busi
ness. There was a common tendency
there to take things easy until the
final examination at the end of the
university course, and in a herculean
effort to prepare themselves for this,
the students would do some terrific
cramming. Here, our students ilon t
get to wait till the time for receiv
ing a degree before they are checked
up on, we send them homo at the mid-
semester examinations. I think on an
average our students are more near
ly representative. They ae not so
profoundly learned, nor are they so
profoundly frivolous as the Eureopean
students whom I knew."
Well, there's the evidence. Are
we American students as serious ns
European students? We agree, with
Mrs. Malaprop, that "comparisons
