ing your truthfulness and honor, stay

This statement reminds us of one
recently made within our henring
concerning war. It was said that the
best way to stop war might be to get
nations to agree not to fight until
they were prepared and could afford
it.
If those four questions were an
swered truthfully and literally, it is
doubtful if any of us would ever be
prepared to enter college. However,
the ideal is good and deserves our I

WHATS IT ALL ABOUT?
Five freshmen at Cornell Univer
sity recently sent forth a belligerent
question to the university at large:
"What is it all about?"
The freshmen had spent two
months at the university, and in that
time had found "no coherence, no
purpose, in their college studies,"
according to The New Student. So
they wanted to know what to do.
The college newspaper answered
that an orientation course, like that
at Columbia university, should be
given to all freshmen as a rudimen
tary preparation for the real college
work.
Probably any number of freshmen
all over the country would agree,
if they wished to be perfectly honest
about it, with those Cornell students.
Especially those first year students
in state universities of Nebraska's
size would be willing to admit that
they spent their entire first year in
a daze, and that the real compre
hension of the university attitude as
contrasted with the high school view
point did not come until well along
in the second year.
Cornell's suggestion of an orienta
tion course is a good one, but it is
hardly adequate. The real cause of
this bewilderment to which the five
freshmen confessed can be found in
a statement recently made by Dean
Walters of Swarthmore. Registered
at the University of California, he
said, are 17,101 full time students;
BISHOP M'CONNELL
The University federation of
church workers and the convocations
committee of the University are to
be congratulated on bringing Bishop
Francis J. McConnell to the Nebras
ka campus. Every student should
make a sincere attempt to hear Bis
hop McConnell at least once during
his visit in Lincoln.
The Bishop's first speech at the
University convocation Tuesday
morning proved that he is one of the
most interesting speakers that has
been heard on the Nebraska campus
and that he will be remembered for
some time after he has gone.

ON BEING COLLEGIATE
(The Daily Kanaan)
"Collegiate" one dictionary gives
the meaning, "related to a college,"
and others assign a similar meaning.
We can read or hear of college lit
erature, collegiate athletics, or col
legiate drama without flinching, even
with a little pride at times; but when
it comes to hearing the word bandied
around by merchants and sales-people
as the choice adjective in regard
to the prevailing mode, it is almost
more than any thinking college per
son can endure.
To be sure, college trousers may
be greater in circumference than the
established sixteen inches, and col
lege coats may hare lost the cape
effect from the waist down, but at
that, colleges should not be blamed
for the sartorial extravagances that
sections of the "garment trust" have
managed to thrust upon the shoul
ders of their customers under the
misnomer of "collegiate." I

obviate the theory that in universi

natural corrolary being that some

take the time to tell a freshman what

Laziness I Cause of Old Age
Laziness is the cause of old age,
according to Mrs. Margaret Blair,
who has been an instructor in the
University of Montana for 25 years.
"ChooBe Your Job As You Choose
Your Course," is the answer of E.
B. Roberts, of the Westinghouse
Electric and Manufacturing Com
pany, Pittsburgh, Pa., to the requests
coming to that company from engin
eering graduates asking for infor
mation regarding the questions which
they must face in choosing their Job.
His answer is here given in full.
"A young engineering graduate
faced a leader of industry.
"Supposing', said the young grad
uate, 'that I am ambitious, am in
good health, and have probably more
than average intelligence, what
chance have I of 'getting somewhere'
in the field of engineering?'
" 'Well sir,' the leader of industry
answered, 'ninety percent of the ex
ecutives of this company, including
its vice-presidents, its departmental
managers, district sales managers,
works managers, service managers,
and engineers entered the company
directly from the engineering
schools. Now what of the work to
be done? Only forty-three per cent
of the people of the United States
live in electrically lighted dwellings.
Less than two per cent of the rail
road mileage of this country has been
electrified. Forty-two years have car
ried the central stations of the coun
try from a single station of 600 kilo
watt to a capacity of 23,000,000, andj
that is not the end. Only a fraction
of our water power has been ex
poited. It is reasonably estimated
that within the next ten years the
total output of electrical energy will
be, three times that of the present.
The engineering world of the future
will be managed by technical grad
uates. Your opportunities are limited

"Information such as Mr. Roberts
has written would have been gladh
welcomed while I attended college"

"Strange as it may seem, very little
material is readily available regard

The Wisconsin idea is believed by
many to offer a remedy for the fault
which is at the bottom of the problem
suggested by five Cornell freshmen.
That fault is that there is too big a
gap between high school and univer

which finds the true remedy for this
fault will be performing one of the
greatest educational feats of all time.
NOT PREPARED
Henry Louis Smith, president of
Washington and Lee University,
writing in McXaught's Monthly gives
tome advice to prep school boys
which should be of interest to all
oniversity students since it may very
easily apply to them.
After showing the boys the main
difference between prep school and
college, that is the difference in the
amount of freedom, President Smith
;ks them four quertions as follows:

Quantity production and ser
vice make it possible for Mr.
Harris to realize a profit at
prices which would bankrupt a
concern selling only hall as

the per capita overhead very
low. It would be practically
