UNIVERSITY HALL
After a number of days in which
investigations by various University
officials have been conducted, the re
gents have finally decided to close
and condemn University Hall. It was
found, when the plaster was torn off
from the walls and the brick exposed,
that the bricks were crumbling and
bulging, and the mortar was little
more than powder. In such a con
dition, it was said, a strong wind
would have caused the building to
collapse. The walls, built half a cen
tury ago and never especially srtong,
had deteriorated to such an extent
that further use of the building
would have been folly and would
have endangered many lives.
The action of the regents was un
doubtedly the only method possible.
To have continued to jeopardize the
lives of the students would have been
inexcusable. Even unoccupied, the
building,' because of danger of col
lapse, would have been dangerous. In
order to save some classroom space
the regents have ordered the demol
ition of the building by degrees that
is that the upper two floors will be
removed and the first floor and base
ment temporarily continued in use.
With one floor and a flat roof, Uni
versity Hall, which we consider now
the most beautiful building on the
campus, will be converted into a flat,
ugly shelter. Nebraska Hall is un
lovely enough, but University Hall
will, in its new form, emphasize this
lack of proportion.
The aesthetic value of University
Hall, because of the aura of scholar
ship and tradition that surrounded
It, is not to be minimized. It typi
fies the older type of "uiversity
building, with its bell tower, slated
roof, and long narrow windows. Its
benches and desks are carved with
the .initials and symbols of fifty
years ago, and from the yearly bat
tering of thousands of students it
seems to have a kindly, mellow as
pect, that a new "brick, steel or a
glass" building lack. "University
nail," said a professor of aesthetics,
"si the only architecturally complete
building on the campus." It is, we
believe, for there is about it a sym
metry and grace that the new build
. ings do not possess. The chemistry
building makes little pretense of any
beauty; Bessey Hall is grimly util
itarian; Social Science Hall is decor
ated by a number of pillars, which
seeiii out of place, for they support
nothing. There is indeed, little of
beauty in the architecture on the
campus.
Within the next few years, un
doubtedly a number of new buildings
on the campus The present acute
lack of space mages that a certainty.
In the planning of these buildings
architectural beauty should be con
sidered as well as service, in order
that there may be something on the
campus to take the placo so long
K-enpied in the affections of student
ind alumni by old Universit yHall.

iwimming, aa collegiate sports, have
been temporarily abandoned at Ne
braska. The reason stated is that
there are no facilities on the campus
for these sports and that the incon
veniences of obtaining them is great
er than the benefit derived there
from. We regret that the department has
seen fit to do this, for sports for the
average student are few enough at
Nebraska now. Football, basketball
and wrestling usually take exception
al strength, while track, usually
takes an inherent aptitude. Tennis
is about the only minor sport left in
which the average student can par
ticipate successfully.
At the present time the provision
of the facilities on the campus for
the sports abandoned is probably im
possible, and the athletic board un
doubtely had good reasons for iu
decision. But when the new field
house is paid for and money is avail
able the restoration of these sports
immediately will be welcomed by the
students.
AVERY WRITES IN
ALUMNUS MAGAZINE
Chancellor Point Out Fallacies of
Critic of Education in
November Issue
Chancellor Samuel Avery points
out fallacies of modern critics of edu
cation in an article published in the
November issue of the Nebraska Al
umnus. He writes:, "The failure to
use the methods of inductive science
in securing facts, and arranging them
in an orderly way before attempting
to draw conclusions, is the chief
criticism I would make of the major
ity of critics.
"I may illustrate what I have in
mind by a few specific examples.
Occasioned by the crime of two
young men in Chicago, both of whom
had spent some time in college, much
was said about godless modern edu
cation and the crime itself was at
tributed by some to the materialistic
tendencies in our school system.
Even an editorial writer in a sane
New York paper laid the crime at the
door of education, while speakers
before popular audiences drew simi
lar conclusions ad neauseam. At
about the same time one minister

committed an equally atrocious crime
and another fell under grave suspi
cion, while reports of crimes from
the relatively ignorant were on the
first front pages of every newspaper.
A very slight study made in the spirit
of Bacon would have shown that
crimes on the part of those who have
studied biology, and crimes on the
part of those who have studied the
ology are exceedingly rare, and that
crimes on the part of those who know
little of either are shockingly numer
ous. "To recapitulate, I plead not for
a cessation of criticism, but that criti
cism be made in a scientific spirit
after a careful analysis of the data
available."
