my own advent into the city or Lin

tion to the aute L'niveralty, of
boe avlatence up to that time, I
waa totally Ignorant.
On conaulling an old diary I find
that I arrived In the town on the
evening of Augual SS. 18S6. A
younger brother and myaelf were
brlrklayera by trade, and had apent
the aunimer working on the Insane
Aaylum which was being erected
at Norfolk. Neb. Thla work had
been flnlahed and we were on our
way to Wichita. Kansaa, In search
of another.
Aa It happen, the train we were
traveling on raa only af far at Lin
coln, and Inquiry revealed the fact
that we would be unable to con
tinue our Journey until the follow
ing day, ao that there waa nothing
for us to do but to at ay orer. We
put up at St. Charlea Hotel on O
atreet, a block or two from the de

huilding with a cupalo. It was com
pletely dark with the exception 01
lirhta showing in the upper atory
ui hmh ends of the structure. Cur-
j iosity led. me up a rather muddy
path to the entrance which was on
the side, and after climbing the
I stairs leading to the entrance. I
found mynelf In a hall lighted by a
gas Jet and apparently deaerted.
I The hall ran the full length of
1 the buildinp with a stairway going
up the center. I was standing at the
i foot of these stairs when a young
i man came running down and stop
I ped and spoke to me. I asked him
'what 'he hnildinj waa. and it waa
1 then that I learned of the existence
jof the L'niveralty of Nebraaka.
I It seemed as though the fall terra
i as just beginning and that the
two literary societies were holding
their meetings on this particular
-evening. It waa the lights from
their respective halla that I had
: seen from the outside, and I after
I wards learned that their namea
i were the Union and Palladian. I
1 was to learn of the Phllodeciao a
! terwards. The young student, for
i such he turned out to be, asked me
1 during the course of our conversa
tion, where I was from and I told
him Pittsburg. Pa.
Whereupon he Informed me that
there were a couple of young men
reentered in the school who were
from the same place. He lncldently
told me that the number of stu
dents was about 400, boys and girls
and that a number of them were
In the preparatory department.
After a few- minutes of conversa
tion he returned up the atairs and
I left the building. Such waa my
firat ellmnse of the University.

I Later on in the fall I attended a
few of the society meetings partly
I out of curiosity and partly for some
place to go for I was a complete
stranger In the place, and while I

I ings were less occupied. It waa
'during one of these visits that I

May Tibbies.
Her father was a ell known
lecturer and ni-wtpap"r tiiun who
some years later was nominated
on the Populist National ticket as
Ita candidate for vice president. Mr.
Tibbies had Just gone on a led ure
trip to Kngiaed while lU mo
daughters bad entered the Uiiivi-r-
llllir viriii VII, ailtl wiirn w r u-ii I iiv
institution we were married. She
is still with me and with the ex
ception of the gray hair would still
fit Into the picture as I saw her
coming down the stairs on that oc
casion and which waa the incentive
for me "scratching" her name on
the "society alate" on may occas
ions. 1 do not know whether thia cus
tom Is still In vogue or not. but any
how It was a precedure which en
titled me to the privilege of es
corting her to the meeting of the
literary society the following Fri
day evening. The alate went on file,
aa It were, on Monday morning and
before long I was very early on the
ground on that day looking for the
young man who carried it.
Going back to the time I was
making my first visits to the liter
ary societies. It was on one of
these occasions that the thought
struck me that there was no reason
why I should not be attending the
classes. Cold weather was about
due when the building' business
would cease until the following
spring, and in the mean time I
would have nothing particular to
do.
I wrote to Chancellor Manai. and
as I was busy during the day, he
was kind enough to invite me to
his home In the evening. He seem
ed to take a sincere interest in me,
and while we discovered that there
were some branches In which I
was deficent. he suggested methods
by which they could be remedied.
My diary telle me that I paid my
matriculation fee of $5 (my only
expense for tuition at any timelon
the morning of January 5. 1S87 and
that I registered In the afternoon.
I still have the registration card
which Is signed by Ella Smith as
registrar. At the aame time if I
remember rightly, she acted as li
brarian. Incidentally, my diary tells
me that at the time I was register
ing, the themometer registered
thirty degrees below tero.
My studies were devoted to an
endeavor to qualify for the fresh
man class the coming fall. One of
the branches required the prepara
tion of a couple of essays. These
I wrote; and the marks on them
show that they were corrected by
J. G. White who at that time was
an instructor In physics. At pre
sent 'tnie he Is internationally
known as the head of one of the
largest financial institution of this
city. His wife was a former stu
dent of the University so that he
and I. together with not a few
others, can testify to one of the
great advantages of co-education." j
The remainder of the letter. In
which Mr. Barrls tells more of his
experiences, will appear in the next
issue - of the Daily Nebraskao.
