THE TOURNAMENT IS HERE
The 1927 Nebraska high school basketball tourna
ment, one of the biggest athletic ventures of the Uni
versity of Nebraska, get3 under way today.
The tournament is not only one of the outstanding
athletic events here but it is probably the largest high
school tournament in the country. The requirement
that a team win forty per cent of its games to be
eligible for the tournament may reduce the number of
teams sufficiently to keep the tournament from being
the country's biggest this year.
But it's a big tournament nevertheless. Twenty
two hundred sixteen contestants are entered. They
v ; t :i AmMoA Viv over three hundred
coaches. More than two hundred officials are required
rmrMle the meet. This doesn't mention me nu...u
of spectators who will come to Lincoln from towns of
the state. It makes no reierence 10 ie
paper publicity which will go over the wires m covering
with its usual policy the
me iirccu ' - ,.
School of Journalism is supervising the sending of
special reports to each of the Home-town paper,
teams represented in the tournament. Last year a
total of 181,000 words on the tournament was sent to
271 Nebraska newspapers, by students in the School
of Journalism.
The tournament is one of the best opportunities
high school students have to see their university. We
need not add that their opinion of the university is
quickly formed and decisively formed. Students know
this too well from their own experiences.
It is regrettable that the high school students do
not have a better opportunity to see the university as
it is than they do. The very nature of their engagement
here prevents their doing more than skimming the sur
face. A few of the teams may be here for pleasure.
But the bulk of them are here for business, serious
business to them, the winning of games. Their every
interest is centered on basketball and their every move
is 'made with the intention of utilizing it to their ad
in tha trmrnament.
Under such conditions sight-seeing tours into the
educational phases of university life are practically
non-existent. The student, fortunately, is given every
opportunity to gain a favorable impression of the uni
versity from the athletic side. He is the center of
interest. Every effort is made to make his stay a pleas
ant one. The Nebraska "N" Club performs a highly
efficient service in its work on the tournament both
directly and indirectly.
The "N" Club will have many opportunities to
give the high school athletes of the state an insight into
Cornhusker spirit, friendliness, and hospitality. It will
have some chance to reveal to them what the University
means to the state and what it may mean to them.
On the general conduct of the rest of the University
in doing everything in its power to make the tourna
ment a success, to convey to the athletes and their
friends from out in the state what the university really
is, will rest the final meaning of the tournament to the
high schools and to the University ttself.
THE OLD AND THE NEW
Tk nhr,cr from the old European university to
the modern American university is as profound, as
:,i.QT,f n it Vina been extensive. It is one of the
distinguishing marks of American civilization.
The F.urooean university was secluded, apart.
In many cases, the university students were governed
entirely by university laws. They were not responsiDie
to the civil laws of the city in which the university
was located. They had no extensive system of athletics.
ol lif was carried on in a limited manner
nH above all without ostentation. Extra-curricular
activities such os the university of today supports were
not. vn dreamed of let alone supported.
All this doesn't mean that the old European uni
versity was better than the university of today. It was
different Utterly and entirely different! It had a
oincrla aim and a ninele tmrDOse. the training of scholars.
It did so in a rather thorough and efficient manner. The
bulk of scientific knowledge acquired in the last cen
tury has come to us as a result of the thorough training
and the development of the spirit of a search for the
truth implanted in the students in European univer
sities in the infant days of science.
Th aim of the modern university are as multi
fold as its interests. Development of scholars is no
loiurer the sole aim of university training. Popularly
unnnrt.nH. schools have meant the extension of unt
versiufce along; lines wmtu wuuiu uj;fvi.iu.i,
an ever larger numDer 01 stuaenis.
The training of scholars still remainif an impor
tant item 5n TTnivers-tv training, although often over
looked in the clamor and bustle of more brilliant side
lights. In the graduate school, we find this phase 'most
exemplif "d. In the research laboratory and the ad
vanced seminar, scholarship becomes the vital instead
f h sernnrfartr interest. On the development of care
fnl nd Tuell-trained thinkers, future development tlong
all lines of scientific and cultural development must
rest.
But with the extension of the domain of the uni
versity for the benefit of mass education, new and un
vvazl opportunities have been developed for a type
of student who was formerly unprivileged. Vocational
