sesj they are merely the reactions of
some men who havo taken the cour
ses. They are advanced as guides
of some value to students selecting
courses and to professors who want
honest criticism of their methods.
Wherever the critique has been
tried it has aroused great interest.
Its criticism and praise of the
courses have caused considerable dis
cussion and thought on the merits of
the various subjects.

DOCTOR LEES
The death of Dr. James T. Lees,
for thirty-six years a member of the
faculty, takes from the campus one
of its best known and most beloved
figures. Dr. Lees served the Uni
versity faithfully, with that love of
teaching that causes men of great
ability to forsake the more lucrative
business world for the class-room.
The life of Dr. Lees should be en
couraging to those who plan to enter
the teaching profession. Seldom
well paid, its members are neverthe
less usually happier than the pros
perous business men whose lives are
less devoted to the service of hu
manity. There seems to be, for men of un
usual intellect, a delight in directing
the minds of the young, of watching
their gradual intellectual develop
ment. Certainly such men would not
enter so poorly paid a profession if
they were not. Dr. Lees -was one of
this type. He loved teaching and
because of this he was successful in
it.
Tho University Players have an
nounced that "Aren't We All, an
unadulterated comedy, will be given
as their next production in place of
the serious play. "He Who Gets
Slapped." It is said that tho change
was made at the request of the pa
trons who "want something to laugh
at." No incident could indicate
more clearly than this the deplorable
stale of the theatre in Lincoln.
Thpre are now a half-dozen movie
theaters in Lincoln showing from
one to six or seven reels five times a
day which are intended to make the
people laugh. Another house plays
a continuous stream of vaudeville,
which, if not always funny, is very
seldom provocative of serious
thought.
The Temple Theater is the only
place in which a definite season's
program of worth-while plays is pre
sented. , The Orpheum,, of course,
brings a few big productions, but
even at these the attendance is us
ually so slack that it lends the entire
production an air of failure.
The University Players have given
some of the best modern dramas in
way looms largo. Sunday should
be a day of rest and recreation, a
time of leisure to be devoted to extra-curricular
cultural development,
not to left-over study for Monday
morning. For the student who is
here in the formative years of his
life, these Sunday afternoon pro
grams and others of like nature af
forded by other departments, should
form the dessert of the weekly fare
of formal education.

UNIVERSITIES OF THE FUTURE
(Daily Californian)
Dr. Frank Aydelotte of Swarth
more College, recently declared that
the college of the future "will em
phasize quality rather than size. The
race for numbers and tho worship
of size for its own sake are rapidly
giving place to a much saner atti
tude."
That this tendency is taking root
is seen in. a Mew York project to
found a College of the Greater City,
which will be organized along the
lines of the colleges of Oxford and
Cambridge. Again, in Southern
California a plan is under way to
found the Claremont Colleges, un
restricted in number, each limited to
a low registration, and each separ
ate in administration and faculty.
These facts are worthy of thought
when coupled with the announcement
made yesterday that the University
outstrips its nearest competitor by
a manner that would do credit to pro-1 nearly 4500 resident students, and
fessionals. Their presentation of
Hell Bent for Heaven" and "Out
ward Bound" were deserving of high
praise. The plays presented have
generally been of a fundamentally
serious nature and the audiences
have seemed to appreciate them. But
because many of the patrons demand
ed something entertaining and not
provocative of thought, the change
must be made.
Educating the public's taste has
been found singularly unsuccessful
particularly in the show business, but
it seems that here, at least, it might
be attempted.
CRITIQUES OF CLASSES
Five college papers have recently
made critiques of tbe classes. The
critiques, prepared by the members
of the editorial board (who are us
ually seniors, and therefore experi
enced), are intended for the guiding
' of underclassmen. In most cases the
critiques are engagingly frank, and
often caustic. The Harvard Crimson
started the custom. The Daily Illini,
The Wisconsin Cardinal, and the
Cornell Sun followed. The Prince-
tonian then gave the idea a new
phase by publishing a pamphlet, in
which the opinions on the classes are
preserved.
The following excerpts from The
Cornell Sun's critique illustrate the
general form:
ANIMAL BIOLOGY I. A general
course in biology should be one of
the most stimulating....yet the mech
anism of this course is such as to
deaden the interest of all save the
most pedantic students devotion
of month after month to the dissec
tion of the common or household
frog produces utter ennui and finally
disgust
BIOLOGY 303. The lectures
are rather dull and attendance is
kept up by limiting the number of
allotted cuts to three. An ability
to memorize is the only prerequisite.
ENGLISH 3 Freshman English is
the most important course in the Uni
versity in the effect which it may
have in stimulating or stultifying in
terest in literature, and in the hu
manities as well. In the personality
of the instructor alone and not in
any method or subject mater lies
the value or worthlessness for the
student in English 3. May God pros
per you, oh freshman, in .obtaining
a good instructor! He may be the
best thing you will ever encounter in
the University, or he may waste three
hours a week of your time for four
months.
The authors of the critiques do not
pretend to present an authoritative
statement of the worth of the cour
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
The University museum staff and
the School of Fine Arts are present
ing a series of Sunday afternoon
programs this year. Those of the
School of Fine Arts are musical con
certs given in the University art
gallery, and those by '.he museum
staff are illustrated lantern slide
lectures on topics of popular inter
est in connection with the work of
the museum.
So popular have the programs be
come that the museum lectures have
to be given twice, once at three
o'clock and again at four, because
there is not enough room for all who
want to hear the talks. The concerts
are equally popular.
The success of these programs
shows that there is a real place in
Lincoln for something of this nature
on Sunday afternoon. In scarcely
any other city of the size are Sun
day afternoons so barren of public
entertainment. The theaters are
closed tight, and few are the sing
ers, lecturers, or entertainers or re
pute who appear on the Sabbath.
To the student, no less than the
citizen, or the stranger stranded for
the day, the problem, of spending a
Sunday afternoon in a worthwhile
is the largest university in the coun
try.
This is gratifying, perhaps, but it
is hardly important. Possibly, from
the point of view of the cynical ha
bitue of Wheeler steps, it is proper
to wonder whether statistics on qual
ity would have a like appearance,
and to envy a little the student who
can attend such universities of the
future, and yet enjoy the privileges
and advantages of a small college.

Cheaper Electricity
A 70,000 horsepower hydro-electric unit recently installed at
Niagara Falls utilizes the same amount of water as seven
former 5,000-horsepower units, yet does the work of fourteen
such units. And it saves 700,000 tons of coal yearly for the
nation.
As more and still more uses are found for electricity, larger
and more economical generators are installed. At the power
plant, as well as at the consumer's end, important changes and
startling developments have steadily reduced the cost of
electricity for light, power, and heat.
And wherever electricity has blazed its trail in towns, cities,
industrial centers, andrural communities comfort andprogress
have come to stay.
Generating and distributing electricity concern the technical
student. But electricity's application in the betterment of
industry, the professions, and home life concerns every edu
cated person. Cheap electricity mean.- many startling achieve
ments today, but countless and unbelievable possibilities
tomorrow.
