George Washington Birthday
Tradition is Celebrated Today
George Washington's birthday with
historic connotations of axes, cherry
trees, and the tradition that once there
was a man who couldn't tell a lie,
has rolled around once more.
It has always seemed a criminal in
justice that a day so significant and
commenorable as this, should be spent
in school. Today is the anniversary
of the birth of the man who is called
the "Father of His Country." We
were going to say what anniversary
it was, but no one in the immediate
neighborhood knew when George was
born. The most correct reply was
"February 22" but no one knew what
year.
At any rate, the hero of Valley
Forge and the man who crossed the
Delaware amidst floes of ice was born
February 22. At a lecture Tuesday
evening, Mr. Peter Golden, the Irish
republican leader, told his audience
some things about George Washing
ton that we have never found in his
tory books. Golden said that Wash
ington really represented a minority
in the United States in the fight
against England. He declared that
American barristers wrote a letter to

STAGEDJY PLAYERS
"The Meanest Man in the World"
to be Presented at
Temple.
"Love Laughs at Locksmiths."
But Love goes farther than this in
"The Meanest Man In the World'
which will be presented by the Uni
verslty Players at the Temple theatre
Thursday. Friday and Saturday of
next week. Love laughs at million
aires, and at tightwads who want to
steal fortunes. It laughs at all man
ner of obstacles and in the end surr
monts them.
"The Meanest Man iu the World,"
produced by .Ceorpe M. Cohan and
written by Augustin MacHugh, au
thor of "Officer 666" and "Value Re
ceived," will be presented by the
Temple Stock company as a comedy
offering to the students and friends
of the University. The play deals
with life In New Tbrk and in a small
Pennsylvania town.
Miss H. Alice Howell, director of
the production, has secured the plans
of the original New York company.
and the presentation of the play is
based on these plans. Miss Howell is
not only director of the play, but Is
business manager as well. She is the
head of the department of expression
of the University.
The story of "The Meanest Man in
the World" revolves about a young
New York lawyer who has made a
failure of his profession because of
the fact that he Is encumbered with
numan svmnathy and the milk of
kindness. He is sent to collect a bill
from J. Hudson and Company in a
small Pennsylvania town. When he
arrives there, primed for what he
considers his last chance to make
good and loaded to the muzzle with
the heartless collector's methods he
finds that J. Hudson and Company
is a young and extremely attractive
girl who will be thrown out penniless
if the big million dollar concern he
represents succeeds In collecting
its bill. Of course he falls in love
with her. He also finds that Leeds
iho viilaw millionaire and the
world's tightwad. Is - trying. In con
innrtinn with his own employers, to
fleece this girl out of an oil field
that is hiding a fortune. The man
ner In which he fools these men, gets
the girl's rights for her. falls In lov
and marries her, and puts the town
on the map, forms the rest of the
story.
When "The Meanest Man in tne
World" was originally preseniea it
Sew York by George M. Cohan, oftek
called the roaster showman of Amer
ica, he became so enamored with the
piece that he appeared in principal
male role himself. The play enjoyed
an exceptional New York run and af
terwards went on tour where it
reached still further successes and
afforded entertainment ror nuuoreus
of thousands of theatregoers.
The Players have mastered tneli
lines and an now devoting all their
energies to the hundred and one little,
details of direction that wHI assure
an unusually finished performance

the English parliament in the heat
of the Revolution and pointed out
that there were actually more Ameri
can Tories in the British ranks than
there were in the army of the Contin
ental Congress under Washington. '
Golden also said that at a time when
Washington and his men were walking
with bare and bleeding feet through
the snow, and eating hard tack and
cheese, American merchants and peo
ple living in the cities were calling
him a fool and a fanatic.
We do not know the source of Mr.
Golden's information, but in no meas
ure does it detract from the just honor
which is due to the first American
patriot. We disapprove of the policy
of some people who attempt to show
that Washington had false teeth and
that he often lost his temper.,
February 22 is not the time to think
of such things as toupees, false teeth,
or wooden legs. It interferes with
idealization and surely no one is more
fittingly idealized today than George
Washington. Let us honor the man,
whose dogged determination and dy
namic energy is responsible for the
fact that we are free American citi
zens and not dependent colonies.
FEATURE JACK BEST
L
Record of Month's Activities and
Alumni Program Included
in February Issue.
The February issue of the Alumni
Journal, published monthly by the
Alumni Associaation of the University
of Nebraska and edited by Wilbur
Petersen, carries a picture of Jack
Best on its cover, and devotes a gen
erous share of its space to the mem
ory of "The Grand Old Man."
The Journal publishes a complete
summary of all the University activi
ties during the past month for the
benefit of the alumni who are unable
to keep in closer touch with Univer
sity affairs. It has been carrying a
program for a greater Nebraska and
bends its activities toward those ends.
A new museum heads the list of those
things that the alumni consider neces
sary for the Nebraska which would
be a fulfillment of their program.
Other things of much importance, ac
cording to the Journal are: A new
stadium for 1923 that is assured, a
dormitory system that has been mem
tioned in the present session of the
legislature, and a new gymnasium that
has also been a topic for discussion
among the law-making body.
Plans are already being made for
the- big roundup which will be held
the last days of May and the first
days in June. It is the plan of the
officers of all the twenty-year classes
to put on special programs. This will
include the classes of 1873, 1878, 1883,
1888, 1893, 1898, 1903, 190S, 1913,
1918 and 1923. It is the plan of thost
in charge to make this roundup the
most successful reunion.
The new stadium is being pushed
strongly by Harold F. Holtz in the
Journal. Most of the counties in the
state have responded and many of the
high schools over the state are taking
an active interest in the construction
of the new memorial. It is suggested
that the structure be named in honor
of Jack Best.
A new alumni directory will be pub
lished as .;oon as the necessary infor
mation can be compiled with the aid
of the people who have graduated
from school. There is an information
blank inside of every Journal, which
is to be filled out and sent in to the
alumni office so that the directory
may be published soon.
The story' of the building of Uni
versity Hall is developed as a follow
up to the story in last month's Journal
on the manner in which the Univer
sitr was founded by acts of the leir-
slature in 1868.

GIRLS TO RAISE
GRACE COPPOCK
AEMORUL FUND
Sixteen Teams Under Direction
of Mary Whelpley Will
Conduct Drive for
$1,600.
BEGINS NEXT TUESDAY
Late Missionary Alumna Was in
Charge of Y. W. C. A. Work
in China for Four
teen Years.
The Grace Coppock Memorial Fund
campaign begins Tuesday morning,
February 27 and continues through the
week. The goal for the drive is $1,G00
and will be raised by personal solici
tation from every girl in the Univer
sity. Sixteen teams under direction of
Mary Ellen Whelpley will conduct the
drive.
The Nebraska Y. W. C. A. has been
represented in China by Grace Cop
pock since 1907 until the time of her
death in October, 1921, Miss Coppock
had charge of the Y. W. C. A. work in
China with ninety-six secretaries
under her supervision. She graduated
from the University of Nebraska in
1905 and during the fourteen years of
her service, Nebraska students felt
in very close touch with the foreign
mission field. Wherever the highest
interests of Chinese girls and women
w ere at stake, Miss Coppock was sure
to be concerned, not only in her ca
pacity as the head of a large women's
organization, but as a human being
of the most democratic sympathies
and friendships, said all those who
came in touch with Miss Coppock and
her great work.
The Memorial Fund raised last year
in recognition of the services and in
memory of Grace Coppock was used
in the support of Misr Maude Klatt,
who teaches English, does Girl's Club
work and teaches Chinese girls for
eign cooking. She is not a graduate
of the University of Nebraska and the
funds raised this year will be used
for the furtherance of Vera Barger's
recreational project The work of
physical education is very new in
China and no work could be of more
importance to Chinese women, says
Miss Barger, who is a graduate of the
University of Nebraska and who has
given her attention to bettering the
physical condition of women in China.

'Wo Co-eds for our
Slogan of
Most men who go to college seem
to have the tendency to choose co-eds
for wives when the time comes to
choose but not so at the University
of Wisconsin- A society with the
motto "No co-eds for our wives" has
been organized and seems to have the
express intention of leaving the co-ed
to choose a coal man for a husband
or buy a cat and a parrot
Why the ambitious young men took
such a bold step is the mysterious part
about it. Who shall be pitied is the
other question about it. Of course the
women say that the men should be
pitied and the men say that surely
it is the co-eds' hard luck. It may
be a case of sour grapes on the part
of the young men or it may be that

MM AT FOiAL
Kosmet Klub Has Sold
Tickets for Pan-Hellenic
Party.
All
Every sorority on the campus will
be notified today of the arrangements
for the decoration of the Pan-Hellenic
formal so each one of the women's
letter organizations will be repre
sented in the setting of the hall. The
sorority colors, banners, crests, and
lighted pins where available will be
intermingled with the fraternity pins
and crests in order to make the deco
rations of the party fully representa
tive of the Greek le'ter organizations
in school.
An increased demand for the tickets
to the formal at the la.t minute found
the Kosmet Klub well .-old out. A f jw
tickets were fou .d still available ac
cording to the committee on ticket
sale. More than two hundred tickets
have already been sold r.nd checked
into the student activities office. This
will insure the complete success of the
party, according to the Kosmet Klub
committee.
Several fraternity alumni have an
nounced their intention of attending
the party. Alumni tickets for each
fraternity were limited to two.
The Pan-Hellenic party will revive
the old tradition of an annual all
Greek party at Nebraska. Increased
acquaintance among the members of
the Greek organization on the campus
and a subsequent warm feeling in the
fraternity ranks is one of the ends
of the annual frolic. The party will
be continued every year under the
auspices of the Kosmet Klub.

in the Red Room of the Y. M. C. A.
About sixty-five members were pres

be held the third Tuesday in March.
Dr. Joshi, who Is himself an Episio
palian, is the son of a former Brahmi'i,
who upon his conversion became a
priest of the Church of England, the
Episcopalian church in this country.

in
Maude Royden, famous religious
leader of England, will speak tonight
at St. Paul's church at eight o'clock.
Her subject will be "Can We Set the
Word in Order." Lady Royden will
arrive in Lincoln this afternoon and
will be entertained at the home of
Mrs. B. F. Williams, president of the
city Y. W. C. A. No social engage
ments have been made.
Tickets are 50 cents and may be
obtained from the Y. W. C. A. office
and at Ellen Smith Hall. It is ex
pected that the church will be com
pletely filled. Visitors from out in
the state will arrive in Lincoln to
morrow to hear Miss Royden. Uni
versity and Wesleyan girls will usher.
Lady Royden is in the United States
on a ten weeks' tour. Requests for
lectures by Miss Royden have been
so great that she could have spoken
every day for two years in this coun
try instead of the ten weeks allotted
to her. Her management has given
the dates available to the places where
it was felt that she would have the
opportunity of addressing the largest
audiences.
Miss Royden has had a varied ex
perience as a speaker, both in the
pulpit and on the lecture platform.
At the time that Dr. Joseph Fork
Newton took over his work as pastor
of the City Temple church in London,
Miss Royden was eneaered in the
! cause of the enfranchisement of wo
I men and as editor of the "Common
Cause" she had won a place of leader
ship in the law abiding suffrage move
ment. Noted as Social Worker
She was known throughout England
for her social work, and the books of
which she was the author had found
much favor among the people of that
country. She was often spoken of as
the Jane Addams of England.
It was from these positions that
Dr. Newton selected Miss Royden to
work with him in the City Temple
church as assistant pastor. Dr. New
ton, who has returned to this coun
try to take up the pastorate of one
of the churches of New York City,
speaks of Miss Royden as being, at
the present time, England's outstand
ing woman preacher.
