THE GLORY THAT IS NEBRASKA'S
Salesmanship and advertising have become vital
keynotes to modern business. Technical and profes
sional fields bave been forced to admit business cru
sades In order to retain their economic position.
Even Institution! ot higher learning find It necessary
to adopt sucto. methods to keep In touch with those
benefitted.
Selling Itself to its students is a peculiar task
ot Ue University of Nebraska, Freshman convoca
tion Thursday morning Is one of the few occasions
whea the University has such an opportunity. It
Id practically the only time during the University
course that ft large university group Is fathered to
gether expressly tor the purpose ot being Informed
aa to the Qualities and Ideals ot the University.
The glory that Is Nebraska's Is tho glory of the
youth of the state assembled at the University for
the development of such qualltlse and training as
will make tot a continued development of the state's
cltiienry.
Perhaps HO finer opportunity than the treshmsn
convocation is given for a realisation of the signifi
cance of the University. During less than two
hours, the aew student has a chance to see painted
lor him the panorama of university Idealism; the
background ot its traditions, baslo element ot uni
versity loyaltyj and the possibilities hero eitend to
him as an Integral part of the state's greatest educa
tional institution,
" COLD AND CRUEL
"Toil n get by your desn. and the chancellor
w iih an alibi but the business world looks at your
excuses and forgets you," declared Chancellor K. H.
Lindley of the University of Kansas in the opening
exercises of the Jayhawk institution last week.
The average student has a wail In his mind
that would surpass the howling of a coyote if trans
ferred to vocal expression when professors insist on
assignments being in on time, or even that students
make their classes on time.
Ye) the same student expects to compete with
s host ot other young men and women upon comple
tion of the college course. Students who hare
learned the ralue of producing, without alibis, are
conceded to have an advantage in business. Vet a
thousand kinds of advices by experienced instructors
can not hope to bring near this fact so effectively
as a week's experience as a graduate employee.
And they say tt is a cold, cruel, world.
THE HEART, THE HERO
Character is a great legacy. It is above learn
ing and wealth. It it one of the greatest motive
powers la the world. If A man has learning and
not character be la poor, indeed, for character in
its noblest embodiments exemplifies human nature
in its highest forms. It exhibits man at his best.
the ages, speaking as a voice from the dead, and in
fluencing minds living thousands of years apart.
Moses and David, Solomon, Plato and Socrates. Xen
ophon, Seneca, Cicero and Eplctetus still speak to
mankind. They still arrest the attention and exer
cise an influence upon character, though their
thoughts be conveyed In languages unspoken bj
them and In their time unknown.
It Is the heart that rules life. A man may not
have either money, or property, or learning, or
power: and yet, he msy be strong In heart and rich
in spirit, honest, truthful and dutiful. Intellectual
culture has no necessary relation to purity or ex
cellence of character. Education of the heart as
well as the education of the mind embodies the high
est Ideal of life and character. There may be noth
ing heroic about it, but the common lot of men is
not heroic.

THE IUGGKR: "The Sidewalks of w York"
may be all over the country but the University's
sidewalks are still too small to accommodate the
student body.
University of Nebraska bulletins with new life
have been carrying the message of parts of the In
stitution to the state during the past six months.
Interesting bulletins on the College of La, the
School of Journalism, and religious Influences on the
campus were released during student absence from
Ihe campus.
Each member of the University of Nebraska
faculty Is now having to teach nearly twice as many
students as in 1914. Student enrollment lias in
creased faster than state support ot the Institution.
