"I was asked to speak concerning
the ideals, the traditions of the Uni
versity. Three treat forces underlie
your presence here today: first,
the people of the state who belive
in education, second the education
and forethought of your parents who
madde it possible, and third your
own efforts.
"Along the line of University
ideals my mind recalls the remarks
of a noted educator who, speaking
before the biflforeat congregation ever
jsthered in this assembly, stated that
elementary education rests on three
supports, the body, the soul, and
the intellect. A sound and vigorous
body is necessary for all educational
work. The highest spiritual and re
ligious desires may be secured from
the agencies organized for such pur
poses. It is necessary at all times
to work in harmony with the other

able the students to reach the high
est, the best, and most worthy planes
of educational attainment.
"If you succeed in reaching these
you will satisfy your own aspirations
and receive the applause of the com
monwealth which makes this higher
education possible."
Following the address by the Chan
cellor, an ode to Nebraska Univer
sity was read by Genevlcvo Clark,
president of Mortarboard. Miss Clark
was followed by Miss Amanda Hepp-
ncr, dean of women, who addressed
the freshmen girls.
Miss Hcppner said, "On behalf of
the women of the University I ex
tend to you a cordial welcome. The
campus belongs to you. This meet
ing must convince you beyond a
doubt that tho faculty and students
are vitally concerned in your happi
ness and success. The nature of this
success will depend in a lnrgo mea
sure upon your attitude towards the
new environment and your readiness
to accept the spirit of friendliness
and helpfulness which confronts you
on every side. Your problem then
is tho matter of proper adjustment.
The young women are fortunate In
having a social center, Ellen Smith
Hall, where they will find many op
portunities for self-expression and
enduring friendships."
Miss Heppner said thnt the best
medium for this self-expression is
participation in activities. Holding
aloof from all activities would bo as
serious a mistake as indulging in too
many activities.
It is unnecessary to make any
compromise in the ideals and princi
ples which have been inculcated by
previous training. The failure to
adhere to proper standards would be
an irretrievable blunder. Your chief
reason for coming to college was the
desire to acquire learning. The stu
dent must realize that studies must
come first. Too often the student
talks of "getting by," too rarely of
getting superior grades. Your ad
justment weald be a failure unless
you are equally successful in develop
ing the mind and the personality.
Four wonderful years with immeasur
able opportunities lie before you.
Will you not make the most of
them?"
Guy Chamberlain, one-time presi
dent of the Innocents, .spoke to the
ireshmen on the subject of Univer
sity scholarship. In brief his talk is
as follows:
"Imagine a group of people as
large as this group buying tickets for
the Notre Dame game. Imagine them
coming from many miles, paying rail
road fare, hotel bills, and all manner
of expenses and then staying away
from the game or sitting at the game
and paying no attention to it What
would you think of them?
'Yet a large number of students
come to the University, pay for a
room, cav the University fees, and
all other expenses necessary to attend
and yet pay little or no attention to
their studies."
The taxpayers maintain this great
institution at enormous expense for
lone purpose, to make it possible for
vou to receive a better education.
There are many traditions of the
school and one which the freshmen
are expected to uphold is the tradi
tion of scholarship. Nebraska gradu
ates are holding important places in
all fields of the educational world.
It is up to this class to see that none
of its members drop out, to see even
that none fail to pass an hour."
"Anyone with due application can
secure a passing grade. The great;
reason for poor scholarship is lack .
of application. Will-you raise the
institution, through higher scholar-1
ship, in the minds of the people of
the state and the legislature and
mk it 100 ter cent effective in
reaching the educational ideals of a;
great university?"
Ed Weir, football captain, said,
"On behalf of the athletic teams I
welcome all the freshmen. We want
you to fall in line with the rest of
the school and show the spirit that
m'n tramps. Remember school worn
work is first. We know tha on the
athletic field where many good men
are lost each year through pnor work
in their studies. Let's get together
and make it a big year for Nebraska!"
Captain Weir was followed by
Coach Bearg who told of his pleasure
at entering the school with the fresh
men. He said. "You freshmen are
the ones who will make this school
in the next few years plus the fresh
men who will come in the next years
The freshmen and I are enemies until
Saturday I hear. But after Satur
day let's all be friends."
CoAch Schulte said that the fresh
men class coming in 2200 strong war
to sdJ to the strength, honor, and
glory of the school. He closed with
the statements, "If you are yellow
nr a cake-eaier. tins Mu.puS L t05
large nad too fine for you. Get
off! There are no schools as large
am this in America which are as fine
as this. Come in with reverence for
the old traditions. Wear the cap or
hntton as you should. Wear it
every day. Wear it until you win
the Olympics. You entered of your
self. I ant to ask you to support
the football team and other campus
activities and to play the game as
they play it"
Fnllowing the talk by Coach
Schulte, Robert Lang administered
the "Nebraska Oath" as follows:
"I cromise that I will work strenu
ously to maintain the highest stan
dards of University scholarship, real
icing that I am here primarily to
study and to learn. I swear that I
will earnestly aUiv io La 1 fid
blooded, square-shooting, fair-playing
Cornhusker; that I will strive to
maintain Nebraska as one of the
greatest universities In the land; and,
that I will love and'honor the Scarlet
and Cream."
Professor G. E. Condra then made
a plea for the freshmen to live up
to the pledge, to "fight it out along
the lines of the pledge, to get the
Scarlet and Cream into your hearts
and minds." Professor Condra then
supervised the taking of still and
motion pictures of the class on the
lawn southeast of the administration
building.
Want Students To
Get Acquainted
placed her as one of the popular en
tertainers on the campus, has a few
special numbers for the occasion.
Dorothy Abel will give an interpre
tive dance depicting interesting side
lights in modern life.
The decorations will be designed
to pay homage to the freshman class,
fundi and wafers will be served
throughout the evening. The usual
admission fee of 85 cents will be
charged.
This party will be given In honor
of the class of '29. Both uppcrclass
men and freshmen are cordially m
vited to attend this "get acquainted"
mixer for it is one of the first oppor
tunities given to the student body
to extend the hand of welcome to
the freshmen, to aid in acquainting
them with University customs, ideal?
and spirit
The All-University parties are one
of the older traditions on the campus.
The students have shown their ap
proval of these social events by the
large attendance throughout the
year. Six parties were held last year.
Starting out with a "get acquainted"
mixer at which over 700 students
were present the parties were distri
buted evenly over the school season.
This year one extra party has been
added to the six of last year. Several
of these parties will be held in honor
of University . traditions. The cus
tom of holding the parties in the
Armory will be followed until the
new field house reaches final com
pletion. The dates for the parties
are: October 24 (Homecoming), No
vember 21, December 13 (Christmas)
January 16, February 13 (Valen
tine), March 27 (Spring party).
BANKERS AND FARMERS
CONFER AT AG CAMPUS
Ninety-three bankers and farmers
from Douglas, Sarpy, Cass and Otoe
counties, attended the second day of
the banker-farmer conference in ses
sion at the Agricultural College this
week.
These meetings ares a part of the
Nebraska Banker-Farmer Plan o
co-operation instituted within tho last
few months. The program it in
charge by members of tho College
faculty.
The interest is increasing as shown
by the increase in attendance of
twenty-three over yesterday.
yb
The program is the same each day
except for a few minor changes.
Prof. Myron II. Swenk, state ento
mologist, spoke on Hessian fly con
trol substituting for Dr. L. Van Es.
Tho Hessian fly has given some
trouble in the section of tho state
represented and it was thought best
to mnko the change.
T. H. Pollock, prominent banker
of riattsmouth, was leader of the
group.
.. FAIR GRADING ..
Even an amateur reformer can
find plenty of reform, though some
times he cannot do much good alonq
the line of actual improvement of
existing evils. Most of them are not
reformable.
More storms of crticism probably
have been directed against the grad
ing system than even the weather.
Perhaps it would be better to say
grading systems, for the methods
used in rating students class work
averages evidently range from care-
full consideration to more simple
guesswork. Some professors have
been accused of grading the papers
by throwing them downstairs.
Charges of favorism are in nearly
all cases unjustified. A great deal
of the unsatisfactory grading occurs
because the work of the student is
not considered from enough angles
by the instructor. Most frequently
an instructor is inclined to lay far
too much stress upon the examina
tion. The more considerate teacher wat
ches the attitude of the student in
class, his interest, any evidences of
work being done outside the class
room, his comprehension of the
course. That teacher watches for
foolish remarks, signs of a poor un
derstanding of the subject, and for
carelessness.
Unexpected quizzes are unfair to
some of the class if too much (tress

dents who are really very well in
formed on the work, and cause them
to fall down badly. The more points
the instructor has with which to sup
plement examination grades, the
more fairly he can grade. '
Of course one favorite answer is
that grades are not everything, and
it is only what the student actually
knows that counts anyway. But this
is a make shift answer and is no
solution whatever.
More times than a student is aware,
his grades are used to classify him
in the opinion of his fellow students)
Even one who assumes to care the
least about his own grades, when he
wishes to give another his highest
recommendation will say, "Ho is a
good student und makes grades," and
for this reason, the capable instruc
tor will use fairness and consider as
many factors as possible every time
he makes out tho reports. Tho Okla
