Weil-Known
The cn-t for the production of
Outward Bound" which will be pre
sented by the University Hayers
Thurs.'.av, Friday and Saturday eve
ning nd Saturday afternoon has
been announced by Miss H.
Alice Howell, director 'of the play.
The cast is as follows:
gcrubhy Harold Sumption.
Ann-Tauline Barber.
Henry Herbert Yenne.

Mrs. Cliveden-Banks Helen Cowan.
Rev. William Duke Theodore C.
Diers.
Mrs. Midget Martha Baird.
Mr. Linglcy Ray Ramsay.
Rev. Frank Thompson Charles
Youngblut.
The scene of the play is on board
a small ocean liner. During the
first act the eight characters discover
that they are on a ship but why,
when, and how they do not know.
Scrubby is the steward of the ship.
He acts in the capacity of the cap
tain and the crew.' He knows more
than the other passengers on - the
ship but he keeps his knowledge to
himself.
Tom Prior is typical of a. youth
who has kept himself going with
constant stimulants. He is pleasantly
communicative and is the first char
acter to discover that he is dead.
Mrs. Cliveden-Banks representing
the organized snobery of the upper
class, receives a setback with the en
trance of Mrs. Midget, a humble
charwoman, who is out of place in
these strange surroundings. Mrs.
Cliveden-Hanks feels that the Rev
erend Dukes will bring some inis
fortune to the ship. Reverend Dukes,
i sincere and earnest clergyman,
friend to ail t,e !

proves himself a
passenpers in the end.

The Board of Regents has given

"Rag" is Campus Name
For Daily Nebraskan
Through Many Years
Why is "Rag" the universal cam
pus name for the Daily Nebraskan is
a question asked not a few times
by campus visitors and new students.
For, though, dignified as the Nebras
kan may strive to be, the nickname
persists with a virility scarcely ef
fected by twenty-five years of usage
in a constantly changing and ever
new student body.

DEAN POUND

AT BANQUET
"The Pioneer Spirit and the
Problems of Today"
Is Subject
W. E. HARDY PRESIDES
President of Historical Society Re
views Accomplishments of
Past Year
Declaring that what is held up as
inherent lawlessness today is but an
outcropping of the pioneer spirit of
individual independence, Dean Ros
coe Pound of the Harvard Law Col
lege, last .night addressed the Ne
braska State Historical Society and
the Native Rons and Daughters of
Nebraska at their point banquet in
the Lincoln Hotel on the subject,
"The Pioneer Spirit and the Prob
lems of Today."
The gathering was the first joint
banquet of the two societies, Presi
dent W. E. Hardy of the Historical
Society presiding. Dean Pound's ad
dress was preceeded by President
Hardy's review of the society's ac
complishments during the year, Gov
ernor McMullen's greeting to the
two organizations, and a short talk
by Dr. M. E. Vance, president of the
Native Sons and Daughters.
"I suppose when a professor ap
pears in public, he is expected," sta
ted Dean Pound, "to appear s" -e of
three roles; the role of a , of
a pedant, or of an amiable moron.
It is very likely that steady thorough
going study will make him oppose '
what is orthodox in the common
thinking of the mass. So he is like
ly to appear a heretic.
"He is very apt to talk in unusual
words of many syllables, to speak in
a language with which the common
person is rather unfamiliar. So he
is likely to appear a pedant But in
dodging the charges of heresy and
pedantry, it will be much easier for
him to appear as an amiable moron."
With the broad whimsical smile
which characterized the most of
Dpan Pound's utterances he stated
that "in the role of a pedant I have
prepared a manuscript which I will
California .turn over to the president of the so
of White ciety. But in the role of an amiable
moron I will try to give the grist of

Einstein he said
was puzzled over
signs "two-minute lunch." He did
not believe it was possible that any
man should try to eat a lunch in two
minutes in our present civilized
state.. Walking along the streets of
one of our big cities, he found a sign
jannouncing "one-minute lunch." In

newsboy same
up with the daily pa-
nf-r
containing Einstein's uicture.
, Recognizing the man, he boldly and
confidently approached, thrust out
his hand and said "Shake hands, Re
lativity." Einstein knew then he
was in a new world," Dr. Pound said.
"What he saw in essence is the spirit
of the pioneer.
"What a poinc-er is, Is described
lop;?. Dickens, and many others. But
we know him. All of us have lived
with him. The characteristics of his
that we have observed moreover are
the same things that the European
sees which makes him re:iliz that
this' is a different countrv.
"The poineer was independent.
He was self-reliant. He had to be.
There were no other agencies to look
after him. Either he did thi
himself or they were not done. Ha
was compelled to he self-sufficient,
to lead an independent life.
"The pioneer was versatile. He
had to be equal to every emergency.
From the nature of things he was
forced to be an all-around man.
'Again he was restless. He waa
physically restless, mentally rest
less. He was always in search of
better lands, of better natural re
sources. He always hunted for the
greater opportunities. At the same
time he was always wasteful of na
tural resources.
"Agriculture was extensive, not
intensive. Mining was carried on in
an extremely wasteful manner,' ex
tracting only ores which yielded a
rich return. Hie development of gas
and oil resources was very ws tul.
The word 'conservation' was 'n
his vocabulary. Development s
his aim, not conservation. It is only
a crowded order of society which had
made us think of conservation.
"He had no use for form. He felt
that pomp and display detracted
from military efficiency. If you
