The fair ones grace
The wreathed place
Where ivy tendrils cool are

The years are sped,
The paths we tread"

We crown the May,

Of life begun, new harvest

White petals fall.
Brave voices call
Hail and farewell hoping,

IVY DAY SPEECH
Senior in College of Arts and
Sciences Speaks on Needs
Of University
SUGGESTS NEW METHODS
Annual Ivy day oration was given
for the 1928 Round-Up week by
Evert M. Hunt, Lincoln, senior in the
College of Arts and Sciences. Mr.
Hunt's oration was delivered from
the platform erected for Ivy day in
the area north of the Administration
building. The oration, "Nebraska's
Most Important Investment," was
transmitted through loudspeakers to
the crowd that had gathered for
events scheduled for the afternoon
of Ivy day.
Evert Hunt emphasized to his list
eners the fact that the University of
Nebraska is, in reality, Nebraska's
most important investment. Those
who are trained in this institution
will be fitted for the positions at the
head of this state only as well as the
instructors can train them, he said.
It is, therefore, requisite that satis
factory and eligible professors be en
gaged. Reviews Statistics
Mr. Hunt reviewed statistics to
show that Nebraska has less re
sources at hand than many institu
tions whose enrollment is much smal
ler. The Ivy day orator impressed
those present at the traditional talk
with the importance of the Univer
