in this new field."

er sale than any previous year, ac
cording to David G. Richardson,
business manager. Over 2,850 copies
have been sold and a few are left
which will be disposed of this week.
This total is five hundred more than
last year. A few extra copies are
left and can be obtained this after
noon in the basement of the Admin
istration building.
The feature of the annual is the
complete history it gave of every or
ganization on the campus. The
founders, activities, prominent
alumni, and purposes of each or
ganization is included with the pic
ture. A full history of the Univer
sity, from its start with one building

the first article of the book. Some
interesting pictures of the campus
and campus life in former years
were obtained from alumni.
The quality of the material in the
book is better than before, says the
business manager. Better paper and
cuts make it more readable and at
tractive. Some beautiful scenes of
buildings on the campus are a pleas
ing introduction in the book. Tints
of actual views of University build
ings are effectively used as beck
ground for pictures in the class sec
tions. 1

RUTH TROTT GIVEN
SCHOLARSHIP PRIZE
Complete Text of
Ivy Day Address
(Continued from Page 1)
freshmen who will be worthy Nebras
kans. The upperclassmen have not
only the responsibility for them
selves, but also the responsibility for
the underclassmen.
"We must also endeavor to keeep
a proper balance during our school
life. Much critieism is being directed
at Universities today for the amount
of time spent by students in college
activities. 'Work of administering
activities successfully absorbs the
energies, initiative, plan1 . and
originating powers of the men
among the undergraduates.'
So Many Diversions
" 'The born leaders are drafted off
"to run a college" and the instductors
get only the residuum of their atten
tions. These are secondary matters
which in many instances have become
first The side shows are so num
erous, so diverting, so important, if
you please, that they have swallowed
up the circus.
"It may be that we are setting
too great a price on popularity. It
is a tempting occupation to center all
your interests on achievement of
campus honors. The results are quick
returns and flattering recognition,
won instantly, while a closer appli
cation to academic work brings only
an intangible reward in insight and
intellect, upon which there is no real
ization until in the vague future.
"A sacrifice of study for an absorp
tion in student activities amounts to
little more than mental dissipation.
But nowhere are we advised that
they should be eliminated. They
should be merely subordinated.
Taken in their proper relation, the
social experiences and capicity for
leadership which they give are valu
able. If we take no responsibility
and effective part in them, we miss
the pleasantest, and in some respects,
the most profitable part of what is
offered us.
Make Reputation of School
"Then upon us is the obligation for
the reputation of the University. Its
reputation can be no better than the
average reputation of its students.
As we are part of the student body,
our actions reflect directly upon our
school. To the state we represent a
picked number of young men and wo
men who are expected to be leaders
when they have finished their training.
"Such a body, rightly or wrongly,
is looked to for a leadership in moral
standards of young people. Any di
gression by a student is news and
seized upon as a means for exaggera
tion and comment Thee circum
stances frequently cause -an unfavor
able light to be cast upon the whole
University, due to the acts of a few
foolish individuals who are in no re
spect representative.
"And again we students may give
wrong impressions to outsiders. We
are as one said, 'inverted hypo
crites.' That is, appearing worse
than we really are. We are still at
that age when we get a delicious
thrill out of seeming wicked and so
phisticated. This tendency has
caused us to be unduly criticised and
misjudged.
Jeweler Awards Gold Watch
to Senior of Arts and
Sciences College
Rcth A. Trott was awarded a $75
watch by F. A. Hallet University
jeweler, at the Ivy Day festivities
Wednesday afternoon. The presen
tation was made by Dr. Laura B.
Pfeiffer, chairman of the faculty
committee which decided that the
award should go to the senior girl
in the College of Arts and Sciences
who had the highest scholarship for
her four years and who had been
financially independent
The watch is a production of the
Hafis Watch Company and may "Be
worn as a ring, a wrist watch or a
pendant The case is white gold.
The company has aranged to have
a similar presentation made in insti
tutions of size throughout the
United States. -
Miss Tiott is a member of Alpha
Delta Theta sorority. She was
awarded Phi Beta Kappa honors and
was chosen as an associate member of
Sigma Xi. She has been an assist
ant in the registrar's office through
out her college course. Her home is
in Blair.
A faculty committee was appointed
by Chancellor Avery to decide on the
basis of presentation. Dr. Pfeiffer
acted as chairman and Dean Amanda
Heppner and Dr. Louise Pound were
members.
Students Fundamentally Sound
"One educator remarked that be-
hind the mask of lightminded.iess and
self-assertion, which is assumed, the
student is fundamentally sound; that
in order to help him the public must
believe in him, even though he does
not believe in himself.
Mindful of these conditions, let us,
as University citizens, concern our
selves with the reputation of our
school, and let those outside be less
hasty in their judgment.
"In the background, overshadowing
our obligations to the University
tho duties by reason of Unfc
training which we owe to ou
and our nation. The state
right to demand that we offer h.
trained intellect. The modern wona
needs for its execution of varied and
difficult business, men with great ca
pacity and readiness for rapid and
concentrated exertion of a whols
series of faculties; faculties of ad
justment and adaptation; a working
knowledge for. things they had not
seen, or could not have seen.
Premium on Adaptability
"Rapid changes have made it pos
sible for a skilled mechanician to be
come unskilled over night, through
some new invention. Modem life
puts a premium on a readiness to turn
this way or that and not lose momen
tum. The state does not ask that we
all be brilliant, outstanding successes.
Very few can be that. But it does ask
that in whatever community we settle
into whatever profession we drift
this gift of education which we have
received, may be used to solve the
problems, big or little, confronting
us, to help raise the standard of liv
ing, to create a richer sense of ser
vice. Education should enable us to
formulate public policies based upon
calm reason and unbiased judgment
It should be our duty to defend our
country against any program of pre
judice or intolerance which may
stalk the land under robes of false
patriotism and pretenses of high
calling. We should be able to dis
tinguish between progressivisra
which builds up, and radicalism
which tears down.
Need Ideals
"Not only must we offer a trained
mind, but also vision and ideals. A
keen intellect devoid of moral con
trol is the greatest menace to so
ciety. Our nation's servants who
have undermined public confidence
in positions of trust and responsibil
ity, have failed, not because they
lacked power of analysis or brilliant
faculties, but rather because they
lacked the simple qualities of hon
esty and intergity. They have wor
shiped idols instead of ideals.
"If we as graduates go ww$ into
society without a deepened sense
of right and wrong, which will be
guides for our future actions, then
we have failed in our University
course. In us, the state would have
developed possible leaders in graft,"
corruption and intrigue. But when
we quit our course at school, if we
can say to Nebraska that we have
honestly tried to live up to the obli
gations imposed upon as, what sat
isfaction will be ours. f
"Through a deepening of intellect
a broadening of mind, and devotion
of vision, we are better fitted to take
our place in society. Our obliga
tions have in reality been privileges
since they have shaped and molded
our characters. May our training
and observance in University citizen
ship equip us for the more import
ant fundamental duty, American citizenship."
Twenty-year Class" Will Occupy
Stage Center at Annual Roundup
Nineteen-four is the honor class for
the third anual Roundup and they will
ocupy the exact center of the stage.
Thir uHll hi much for then, to talk
about for their class has done things
which no other class has attempted
and some of the members have at
tained fame.
Not many classes have descended
upon a carnival ana leit it in a
wrecked condition as did the class of
'04. Nor have any others the honor
of having had the last successful
sneak day with a grand scrap on the
campus after the festivities.
Many honors have been received by
'04 graduates. Among the men is
'mory Stanley who is commander of
the U. S. Naval mission to Peru. His
career reads like a story. He and his
wife, Eva Coper Stanley, '05, have
lived in every continent except Aus
tralia. Mr. Stanley was captain of
the Pershing Rifles and of Co. A.,
which won "compet" twenty years
ago. He nas not attenaea any re
unions since his graduation because
it is too far inland and too dry for a
sailor." ,
Is Illustrator
Among distinguished women of the
class is Bemice Branson Ferris whose
home is in Washington, D. C, and
who is an illustrator and designer for
the government She is in the Sec
tion of Illustrations and at the same
time is doing outside sketching.
After a year in the university, Mrs.
Ferris went east to study art but re
turned at different times for a se
mester of work and it was then that
she helped to make illustrations for
the Cornhuskers.
Jay Brownlee Davidson, professor
of agriculture engineering at the
Iowa State College of Agriculture
and Mechanics Arts at Ames, will
attend the reunion of his class with
his wife, Jennie Balbridge Davidson,
ex-'Oo. He was recently called to
Washington to serve on a committee
investigating Muscle Shoals.
Distinguished Lawyer.
Another graduate of twenty years
ago was Emory Buckner who is one
of the most distinguished of the
younger members of the New York
bar, being managing member of the
law firm of Elihu Root
The former president of the class,
A. I. Myers of Caldwell, Idaho, will
be unable to attend but he writes
that "the names of my friendV,
Emory R. Bukner, Phillip J. Harri
son, Koy A. Bickiord and Leon W.
Chase all look very familiar to me in
print I used to scrap with Roy A
Bickford in the Palladian literary so
ciety and the Union debating club
and best of all, in the class basketball
tryouts in the Old Armory."
These and many others have served
to bring much honor and fame to the
honor class.
