Faculty Work
For Last Year
Is Collected
In order that alumni and students
may know what the members of the
faculty have accomplished in re
search and scholastic work, a collec
tion is being compiled of the names
of all subject matter printed in 1927,
which has been written by members
of the faculty.
More than 550 letters have been
sent to the faculty of the University
and Medii al College in Omaha ask-
jng them to send in the names of the
articles of their authorship which
have been printed. About 40 answers
have been received by V. Royce
' West, ed.tor of the Nebraska Alum-
nus, who is sponsoring this activity
in conjunction with the magarine.
The list will be published in the Feb
ruary issue of the "Nebraska Alum
nus". West yesterday declared that
he is assured of the success of the
project because of the interest the
!' faculty is already taking in it.
A blank form is sent to each mem
ber of the faculty requesting him to
list the title, publisher, place, date,
periodical, and volume of essays.
