84 The leaders of pioneer Nebraska
laid the basis for a truly state univer

the betterment of the state, mater

that the "advantages of the Univer

commonwealth, free of charge for
their tuition, without regard to sex or
race, on condition only of possessing
the intellectual ana morai quuxic
tions requisite for admission."
Tuition Made Free
It was a school of equal opportun
ity established in a state of great op
portunities. Tuition was made free.
It was felt that it was the duty of
the state to supply educational ad
vantage to students who were unable
m.i nrnvision for it themselves.
It was felt that the aid given these
jnnls would Drove of benefit to

the state. No narrow, partisan limi
tations for entry were maae. ADiiuy
and character were the sol qualifi
cations. Freedom, the keynote of intellec
tual development, was the foundation
stone of the University. Qpen to all,
the University opened the way to in
tellectual achievement of the highest
order. Open to ail, it opened the way
to the progressive betterment of the
whole society, the entire state.
The University was founded not as
a school for the exceptional but as
a school for all. It was designed to
furnish the higher instruction from
which the exceptional individual could
profit. But its purpose did not end
there. It was also designed to furnisn
the average individual with a chance
to acquire such training that he
would be of more value to society or
such cultural development that his
life would be of more value to him
self. School For Whole State
It was a University for the people
of the state, not just for the gen
iuses of the state. At first its courses
were limited. But the fundamental
idea was there. As students were
drawn to the University, so new cour
ses were added to meet their needs.
The ideal of the University was fun
damentally different from the old
European university. There, training
was offered which interested students
came to take. The State University
attempted to furnish training which
the youth of the state d-ired It did
so, not by sacrificing the established
educational standards, but by adding
to them work to meet the differen

PHARMACY MADE
LONGER COURSE
College of Pharmacy Removes
Three-year Course; One
Degree is Offered
Dean Rufus A. Lyman of the Col
lege of Pharmacy announced yester
day that beirinning next year the Col
lege of Pharmacy will give only the
four year course as the minimum in
the college.
Since the organization of the col
lecre, about eighteen years ago,
courses were given for two, three and
four years. Two years ago the two
vear course was dropped and this
year is the last that the three year
course will be given. This action puts
all students on an equal basis, the
only degrees will be the Bachelor of
Arts and Pharmacy degrees.
A movement to have only the four
year course in the universities and
colleges of the country is being con
sidered, but as yet Ohio, Minnesota
and Nebraska are the only ones that
have adopted this system.
According to Dean Lyman the time
will come when a year of pre-college
work will be required for admittance
to the College of Pharmacy.

N. Y. BACKFIELD
HUSKER THREAT
Chick Meehan's Crew Presents
Formidable Lineup For
Saturday Clash
New York, Nov. 16 Five men, the
"Four Centaurs" who make up the
backfield, and Al "TNT" Lassman,
star tackle, are expected to bear the
brunt of the attack which Coach
Chick Meehan's New York University
football eleven will launch against
the Nebraska Comhuskers in the
game at Lincoln next Saturday.
In Lassman, Meehan has one of the
best tackles in the east. An amateur
boxer of more than local fame, Lass
man has developed into a valuable
lineman on the gridiron.
Ltiimta Tower of Strength
His effect on the team was best
seen in the New York U. victory
over Fordham. Late in the second
period, Lassman was injured. The
Mechanites were trailing 3 to 0 at
that time, and they continued to
hold that relative position in the scor
ing until the fourth quarter when the j
boxer tackle returned to the game.
Then the New York U team ran wild
and scored 27 points to win.
The "Four Centaurs" as the Mee
han backfield has been named, con
sists of Captain Frank Briante, re
garded as one of the best line plung
ers in the east; Jack Conner, the
quarterback about whom- Meehan
sr.ys h's team is built and of whom
the New York U coach says, "he is
one of the smartest quarterbacks I
have ever seen; he always does the
right thing at the right time"; Ken
Strong, halfback, one of the longest
and most accurate kickers on any
gridiron, and Archie Roberts, half
back. This quartet can plunge, pass,
kick, back up a line, and do most
anything else a good backfield should
be able to do. The four are expect
ed to give Nebraska plenty to worry
about next Saturday.

"Christians and missionaries mean
the same thing. A missionary wants
to see growing life. He mast throw
Christian seed into the wind so that
it may find soil to develop in and

They must be willing to die for their
cause."
Missionaries Make Progress
"Today we have to think of mis

Daily Nebraskan
Inquiring Reporter
Every day he asks a question of
different students picked at random
on the campus.
Today's question: Do you think a
cheerleader along with the team
would help win the Washington game
Thanksgiving Day?
Asked at different places on the
campus.
Donald Russell, Law '29, North
Platte.
"If there is anybody there to
cheer, I think there, should be a
cheer-leader along, because it would
help win the game. A school the size
of Nebraska University should send
a representative of the student
body."
Edith Stander, A. S., '27. Louisville.
"Organized cheering always helps
to win the games whether it it at
home or elsewhere.'
John Shaffer, A. S., '29, Hastings.
"Some one should go along to lead
the rooters that go to Washington;
a cheer leader would ba certain to
help win the game."
Ed Cahow, A. S., '30, Omaha.
"Whether a cheer leader is needed
or not depends on the number of
supporters who make the trip. A
cheer leader couldn't help win the
game if there was no one there to
lead cheers for."
Alviaa Olson, T. C, '30, McCook.
"A cheer leader would give those
more pep who were there, this would
help win the game."
Evelyn Angle, A. '27, Lincoln.
"The team wouH know that they
have our support if there was a cheer
leader present"
Th.Ima McCoy, T. C '30, Lincoln
"If there was a cheer leader to
represent us the team would know
that we wanted them to win."
Iris Luddea, T. C '28, Lincoln.
"By all means I think we should
send a cheer leader. This will show
the team that they really have the
backing of the student body. We can
not all go to Washington, but wt can
send our pep and enthusiasm in tbt
form of a cheer leader.
BAND BENEFIT
DANCE PLANNED
University Organization May
Be Sent to Seattle For
Washington Game
Plans for the Band benefit dance
November 20, to send the band to
Seattle Thanksgiving, are well under
way. Committees are concentrating
their efforts on making the party the
biggest ever held in the Coliseum.
The ticket sale started this morn
ing. A representative in each frater
nity has been given tickets with
which to canvass that house. The
ticket sellers will also be active on
the campus the latter part of the
week. A committee has been ap
pointed to call all the fraternity
houses Thursday and Friday and
urge them to support the dance in
order that the band may make this
trip.
This is the one organization on the
campus which can best carry Nebras
ka spirit to Seattle according to Pro
fessor W. T. Quick. He also declar
ed that the band can do more good,
and spread more spirit at a game
than any other body of rooters. He
expressed the wish that the students
would realize that in sending the
band they are doing all that is pos
sible in the way of giving the team
moral support, since it is impossible
for a very large number of students
to make the trip.
Committees Are Chosen
The committee chosen to' plan the
party and work out the details are:
General chairmen Robert V.
Hoagland.

FORSTER SPEAKS ON
CANADIAN WILD LIFE
Visitor Says Photographing Animals
Gives More Pleasure Than
Shooting Them
"Photographing wild animals gives
more satisfaction than shooting
them," urged Captain F. G. Forster
of the Department of Interior of
Canada while speaking on "The Pres
ervation of Wild Life" in convoca
tion Tuesday morning at 11 o'clock
in the Temple Theater. Moving pic
tures of Canadian scenery and wild
life accompanied the talk.
Mountain scenes from the Banff
National park in British Columbia il
lustrated the work of Canada to fur
ther wild life. Captain Forster ex
plained that harm to animals or de
struction to scenery in this park is
considered a crime in Canada.
The Circle Road, part of the Col
umbia Highway, starts at Portland,
Oregon and continues north along
the coast to British Columbia and
Banff National Park. "Some of the
most beautiful country of the world
may be seen from this road," eontin
ued Captain Forster in describing the
western part of Canada.
Twenty-five years of living in these
unsettled regions of Canada have
given Captain Forster an unusual
preparation for his position as official
lecturer for the Division of the In
terior and Information, Canadian Na
tional Parks, Department of the In
terior. During the World War he
served overseas as a chaplain in the
Canadian army.
Captain Forster also talked before
150 Lincoln people Monday evening
at a joint dinner of the Ad Club,
The Izaak Walton league; and the
junior chamber of commerce held at
the Chamber of Commerce.

University Professor To Talk In
Answer to Mr. Rosborough's
Argument Last Week
Professor J. A. Rice, professor in
the classics department will speak
against the fraternity-sorority system
at World Forum this noon at the
Grand Hotel. This will conclude the
two-address pro and con discussion
of fraternities before the Forum.
Professor Rice is an Oxford grad
uate, a keen and witty speaker, and
a lively discussion is assured this
noon. He spoke before the Forum last
spring during the scries on "Pro
gress." His address provoked more
comment than perhaps any other in
that series. He is expected to meet
the arguments in favor of fraterni-
ties advanced last week by Professor
Rosborough of the University School
of Music.

And Annual Torchlight
Parade on Program
LETTERMEN TO SPEAK
Coach Schulte and George E.
Condra Named as Principal
Speakers of Session
Nebraska's annual torch light par
ade will be staged Friday night fol
lowing the final football rally to be
held in the Armory. The New York
and Washington rallies will be. held
in the form of a double rally Friday
since the Comhuskers leave follow
ing the game Saturday for the west
coast.
The closing rally of the 1926 sea
son will be most impressive with
every graduating football perform
er saying a few words before the
student body for his last time. Coach
E. E. Bearg and Dr. George A. Con
dra will be the chief speakers at the
Friday night meeting.
Parade Feature of Rally
The rally in the Armory will be
short and the torch light parade will
be formed in front of Social Science
on Twelfth street immediately after
the close of the campus meeting.
The entire student body led by the
University Band, the Tassels and the
Corn Cobs will form the parade and
will march to the Lincoln hotel where
Coach Meehan's New Yorkers will
reside while in the Capital City.
A generous welcome is being
planned for the New York aggrega
tion since it is the easterners' first
trip to the middle west. The week's
football slogan "Welcome West, New
York" suggests the prevailing spirit
of greeting to the visitors.
OLYMPICS TO BE
HELD SATURDAY
Sophomores Gain Advantage
With Addition of Games;
Push Ball Is Feature
This year's Olympics, to be held
next Saturday morning as previously
announced, will be much different
from those of any pevius year ac
cording to an announcement by the
Olympic committee. Several changes
have been made in old events and
one new event has been added.
The "push ball" is the new event
this year. In this event about 100
freshmen will do battle with a like
number of sophomores in an effort
to push a ball 8 feet in diameter
over their opponent's goal line. This
event promises to be one of the fea
tures of the program.
Numbers No Advantage
The "bull pen" has been changed
so each team instead of trying to re
main on the side of the center line
away from its goal, will try to stay
on its own side of the line. When
the whistle blows at the end of ten
minutes, the team having the great
est number of men on the half of the
field nearest the line from which it
started will win the event.
Sophomores are given a much
greater' chancellor victory this year
as the only event in which numbers
will count is the pole rush. In pre
vious years the frosh have won by
numbers in other events, but this
year only a limited number will be
allowed to compete.
Instructors have been given au
thority to excuse all first and second
year men from Saturday morning
classes.
SPECIAL COURSE TO

Automobile and Tractor Instruction
Will Be Offered Brfinning
December 27
An automobile and tractor short
course will be offered at the Ne
braska College of Agriculturi this

The first course will open December
27 and runs four weeks to January 21.

course in this manner, men can leave
their farms for a short period when
the work is slack.
The course consists of four weeks
work, eight hours a day, and will
cover ignition, carburetion, valve
timing, lubrication, bearings, batter
ies, starting and lighting, tractor op
