PREPARATION FOR LIFE
In any discussion of the purpose of
an education some one usually ad
vances the idea that a university
should "prepare" its students for
"life." Just what is meant by this
convenient, but vague, phrase is of
ten not clear in the mind of the
speaker himself. It may denote a
theory which is the result of the com
bination of two ideas. The first one
is that at least a part of education
should be vocational in character.
The other one and the one which is
often foremost in the speakers mind
is that the university should pre
pare its students for the experiences
they will meet after graduation. The
student should feel no surprise, no
bewilderment at what he encounters
after Commecenvut; the transfer
from the college should be made
without rude and unnecessary jolts
and shocks. To accomplish this it is
necessary that the atmosphere within
the university be as much like that
on the outside as possible.
Superficially, sufh an idea seems
to be both harmless and reasonable.
A closer examination, however, shows
lual it has jume potentialities which
are neither so reasonable nor so in
nocuous. These become apparent
when the nature of the "life," which
the students are being prepared for,
is considered. The true character of
the world outside the school can, of
course, be accurately described only
by those whose experience and matur
ity fits them for the task. Never
theless, it is not unreasonable to as
sume that it is not all that it should
be. It may not be the dark and
wicked place the professional refor
mers paint for us, but it certainly is
not so virtuous and so perfect as the
equally profesional optimist would
have us believe. Beyond doubt there
r in it certain tendencies and con
ditions which call for and demand
correction.
A hope that education will make
these corrections possible is one rea
son, at least, why the older genera
tion has seen fit to send the younger
to school. This hope is based on the
assuiron that young men and wo
men who have been trained to re
spect high standards in the univer
sity will not be satisfied with lower
ones when they leave it. But the
idea that they should be prepared,
for "life" as it is defeats this veryi
hope. If the students are to be so
prepared they must be trained not
only for what is good in the existing
order, but for what is bad as welL If
they are not their transfer from the
university to the street will be mark
ed by those jolts which this doctrine
seeks to avoid. This means that with
in the school there should be, as
nearly as possible, an exact replica
of life outside." Football should
teach students sportsmanship, but it
should also teach them how to spike
an opponent in a business deal Work
on publications should give experi
ence not only in writing and editing,
but also in blind subservience to au
thority, and the suppression of dis
tasteful news. Campus politics should
stress the higher qualities of citizen
ship, but they should not neglect
slate making, machine tactics, bribery,1
ard political hypocrisy. How vicious,
how disastrous this doctrine might be
is adequately indicated by this des
cription of what a practical appli
cation of its principles would mean.
Those who see the dismay and the
bewilderment of the student, who has
not been prepared for "life," when
be first encounters evil do not always
see ha ultimate results. In many
cases this first experiene. is followed
by the development of a cynical de
fense mechanism. In many others it
is followed by righteous anger and a
desire to see changes for the better.
It is from this anger and this desire
that progress must come. The uni
versity will never contribute to this
tremens if it brings into it halls all
the ilihonesty, the stupidity, the chi
Cfctiery wUch exists outside. If Vhere
it t-y i'.ace whose sanctity should

, it is tie t: 'vcrtl'.y. Its real
ROSE BOCDANOFF
Miss Rone Bogdanoff, Russian
stagecraft artist, who has conducted
special classes in the fine arts de
partment during the past few weeks,
will return soon to the Carmel-by
the-Sea School of the Littlo Theater,
where she will make final prepara
tions for opening stagecraft classes
in Boston this summer.
During her visit to the University,
Miss Bogdanoff made a genuine con
tribution to the dramatic department.
She is an exceptionally gifted artist
with a clear understanding of the
fundamental principles of design,
and through her work in California
she acquired practical knowledge of
the mechanical problems of the thea
ter. Nebraska students have profit
ed by the contact with one so imbued
with the true spirit of the artist, and
at the same time have learned many
things about stagecraft which will
prove valuable in future work.
No college credit was given and
majority of her students did the work
voluntarily. The absence of the cus
tomary inducement in the form of
grades may have also added to the
value of the course.

Elmore Calls On Prof.
H. Barbour
E.
Dr. C. J. Elmore, University of
Nebraska, '95, was a visitor at the
office of Dr. E. H. Barbour, chair
man of the department of geology,
Saturday. The thesis which served
as a basis for bis doctor's degree
comprises Volume VIII of the Ne
braska Geological Survey, much of
which was written by Dr. Barbour,
with contributions by E. G. Wood
ruff, assistant in the department.
"The Diatoms (Bacillarioideae) of
Nebraska" is the title of the thesis.
It covers the living and fossil dia
toms microscopic marine plants of
the algae family in the state. Most
of the work was done in geology and
botany at the University of Nebras
ka. Dr. Elmore is now professor of
geology and biology at William Jew
ell College, Liberty, Mo. He is a
brother of Rev. W. T. Elmore of
Lincoln.

"Shorty" Collins spoke before
group of women at the Vesper serv
ices in Ellen Smith Hall, Tuesday af
ternoon. He chose as tho subject of
his talk, "Inter-raclal Relationships."
After a short preliminary service,
Abbie Brich, the leader for the after
noon, introduced Mr. Collins. He
plead for the recognition of the no
gro as a fellow-being, and asked that
the audience obey the injunction in
the Bible to "Love thy neighbor as
well as thyself."
Mr. Collins blamed the newspaper
for the very biased attitude which
the average citizen takes in regard to
his colored brethren. In part, he
said, "Newspapers have a large share
in developing misunderstanding. The
ordinary newspaper only speaks
about the negro when he is accused
or convicted of a crime." He furth
er stated that more space should be
devoted to the business and social af
fairs of the negro population to pro
mote better feelinr between the t .
races.
To the question of mob violence,
the speaker devoted a good share of
his time. He quoted statistics that
showed that more than four thous
and were killed by mob violence,
three thousand of the victims being
negroes . Only one-fifth of the vic
tims were guilty of the crime for
which they were lynched.
In closing, Mr. Collins- asked,
"Why not try Christianity?"

anyone has ever suspected them of

class.
Unfortunately for tho centipede
ne of Professor Buck s students
is well versed In insect lore and im
mediately realised that the centipede
was out of place when he entered
that classroom door and that he
really belonged over in the zoolog
ical laboratory.
So while the insect hesitated, try
ing to decide whether he should take
second row or a front seat, John
Cameron, president of Phi Sigma,
honorary zoological society, crept up
behind the unsuspecting bug and up
turned a pin tray over him. Being
thus at a disadvantage, the centipede
was easily led into a bottle and car
ried over to the laboratory in Mr.
Cameron's pocket.
After close observation of this
centipede, Mr. Cameron reported to
Phi Sigma that, after moulting and
removing all fifteen pairs of legs,
with three days of rest it was able
to start regenerating an entire new
set of legs, requiring about seven
days for each leg. The insect at
the logs that came off in the moult
ing process.
Mr. Cameron also found that, with
an increase in temperature, moult
ings are more frequent, and as the
allotted number of new skins and
sets of legs is eight, lower tempera
ture prolongs the life of a centipede.
After the eighth moulting, the last
set of legs falls off and the insect
dies.
Three new correspondence courses
in hydraulic engineering were recent
