.u. A aiiiell part uf the moiirv
rriiiid for a building would plate
a mngnituent tuiiiauile uu the
laiitimape.
Chapel Building.
"Why hut ak the legiMniure
for me of tha things?" is per
haps a Ivatuial question Jut at
this moment. Now It mual be lin
deretiMMl that the legislature aims
aa far as poamMe to provide for
the actual physical need of the uni
versity In Instruction and labor,
lory rooms before It tan possibly
teke care of eome of these finer
thing whkh, although one would
like a ee them very much. mut
wait for the art-oiiiphnhnirnt of
other ends. Always the unlvrr.ity
Is so cramped for Its actual nmea
allies in the way of rooms tlikl It
ran not pibly pruvlile for aom
of tha special buildings which
would greatly ad. I to the student
life of the Iri.t Hut lii.
We have already In a pretedlnij
paragraph of this booklet told
something of the poasibilitles of
tha chapel building. Keliglon
should play a part In a university,
but naturally the legialaiure can
not appropriate money for this
purpose. I'erhaps nowhere In Ne
braska Is there greater o;ortiin
Ity for Influencing the young life
or tha stata than at the L'nivers
Ity of Nebraska. Such a building
would not necessarily have to be
used entirely for religious gather
Inga, although that would be the
primary purpose of the building.
Where perhaps would there be the
poslblllty for a finer memorial
than In a building of this kind?
Hundreds of students would find
their Uvea benefitted and enriched
b tha religious services, music
ales, and other gatherings of a dis
tinguished nature.
The coet of a building of thla
kind would naturally vary, prob
ably from around a quarter of a
million to half a million dollars,
depending somewhat on the elab
orateness of the structure and Its
appointments.
Library.
Tha university needs a new
library, there can be no question
of that point. But If the library
is to be paid for from legislative
appropriations, it ia evident that
tha Institution must wait several
years, with tha press of other
absolutely necessary buildings
upon it. Here is a vary unusual
and striking possibility for a mem
orial building. At the present time
thousands of books belonging to
the library must be kept In rather
I n a c o essible buildings because
there is no more room in tba
stacks of the present library.
What ia the practical value of
a library? Perhaps many a man
will raise that question and it ia
here that we might aa well an
swer It. What is the use of keep
ing; so many old books? Not long
ago a mysterious disease waa
claiming the lives of score of
horses in northwestern Nebraska.
Tha matter w. submitted to our
tlnct lines Of research to be fol
lowed. One waa the Investigation
in the field and laboratory, tha
other was the investigation in the
library, both among our own and
among borrowed books. A study
of some of the old reports which
are forgotten by many people
brought forth the information that
In some isolated parts or tne
world similar outbreaks bad taken
place, and in Africa even human
being bad been eiiectea wun a
serious disease of the liver. To
make a long story short, the v ork
in the field and study In the li
brary determined that a weed, one
SDecies of the senecio, waa to
blame for the death of the horses.
That Illustrates very largely the
advantage In having available
proper library facilities. In Its
university Nebraska should have
a great library where much of the
learning of the ages and of par
ticular value to Nebraska might
Jecta of university life Is to teach
well be centered.
Then, too, one of the great ob
agreeable only the moat necessary
reading wil likely be done. In the
reading is made pleasant and
young people to read, and unless
university, young men and women
should be given every opportunity
to form Intimate contacts with
the great minds of the past. The
forming of the habit of intelligent
reading Is perhaps the most valu
able habit that any of us can ac
quire. Picture for a monument a great
building with magnificent columns
in front, a building filled with the
choicest books of the past gener
ations, books which have Influ
enced minds down through the
ages, and you will have an idea
of what might wel be accomplished
at the University of Nebraska.
Such a building would probably
cost from one-half a million to one
million dollars.
Infirmary.
To be sick away from home Is
no Jok' as any student will tell
you. A short time ago the unlvers
temporary expedient. Here any
student of the university who is
sick msy go and be taken care of
for the modest sum of one dollar
a day. Now what the university
would like Is a suitable building
for this purpose, which might be
erected for around seventy-five
thousand dollars.
The situation really is this.
Many a student in the pant has
failed to receive proper medical
care because he felt that the ex
pense would be too great. New It
Is possible for him to secure that
service and often avoid much
more serious illness. What a won
derful memorial this kind of
building would make.
Art Museum.
Probably no one division of the
university has shown such rapid
development as has the school of
fin arts. Nebraska people are In
terested In art aa never before.
This appreciation of the public
has been manifested in several
substantial gifts, both money and

that it now appears that the school
of fine arts should have Ha own

mueum could be erected at a
rt of from one-half million to
one million dollaia.
The state of Ncbraaka is now
becoming mature and more and
more tnlrreat la bring manifested
in matters of this kind. It is telt
by the university authorities that
theie should be more attention
given to the final phrases of life
in order that students may all le
reive some particular knowledge
and culture in the fine arts when
Ihey graduate from tin institu
tion. This building Would rapidly
become one ol the mot prominent
centers In the cultural life of the
state and no finer donntlon could
be made than a sum sufficient to
eiect a structure of this character.
Observatory.
Here la a splrnedid opportunity
for someone who would like to
invent about twenty-five thousand
dollars In the University of Ne
braska. Plans have been drawn for
such an observatory, a manlftcent
telescope has alrendy been con
structed, and only the building Is
needed to bring to consummation
this project of the university. It
ia believed that around twenty
five or thirty thousand dollars
would take care of the matter very
nicely.
Nebraska has long been woe
fully deficient, compared with
other states. In its astronomical
facilities, and the University of
Nebraska should really be made
the center of this kind In Ne
braska. For years the university
has held open evenings for the peo
ple of the city at Its small observ
atory on Tenth street, and thou
sands of the residents of the state
would welcome a fine building of
this kind.
Dormitory.
The university has already em
barked on a dormltoory program
for women, for which a large part
of the money will be borrowed.
But her are some Ideas that the
university would like to pass along.
It Is naturalry the case that the
mora money Is borrowed the
higher the room rents will have
to be. Hvery effort is being made
to safeguard thla feature and
keep down expenses for girls at
tending the university.
There are many girls who come
to the University of Nebraska, as
well as to its agricultural college,
who want an opportunity to do
light housekeeping and In that way
decrease greatly their dallv ex
penses. Now what could be finer
for some wel-to-do man and wife
to supply such a building where
the rents themselves would be
very small indeed and where these
girls could have a wonderful op
portunity to obtain an education
at a minimum of expense? In a
neighboring state such a building
was presented to one of the t-tate
institutions.
Here Is another Idea. It would
be a wonderful thing if the first
year men of the university could
be taken care of as well as the
freshmen women will be when the
dormitories are completed. The
university would welcome a discus
sion of this mater with any per
sons who are Interested. It would
also be a very fine thing to have
dormitories for a particular group,
lor women, or for law students, or
such as for senior men. or for sen
for other groups of students who
are interested in much the same
things. A dormitory building
would cost about one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars and up
wards, all depending upon the
number of students to be taken
care of and upon the type of the
building.
Other Things. '
There are many, many ways In
which men and women of means
can help the university and pos
terity as well. Perhaps you who
have just read this article have
some ideas of your own and if so,
the university wil be very glad
to discuss them with you. Perhaps
you are athletic inclined and
would like to provide the institu
tion with a swimming pool. The
University of Nebraska is one of
its size and prestige which does
not have a pool. Perchance you are
especially interested In the thea
tre and you would like to provide
a little theatre for the work In
dramatics. If you cannot afford
tha theatre, perhaps you would
like to supply a collection of his
toric coatumes. Perhaps you would
like to make a modest but very
fine and enduring gift and if so,
there are numerous opportunities
to do so In the fields of painting,
statuary, and rare or unusual
books.
Do any of these things appeal
to you? If not, the university will
do its best to find some project
in which you can become partic
ularly interested and see progress
from year to year. If you coatem
pulate providing in your will for
some spcific gifts, the university
would be very glad to know about
it, In order to avoid any possible
duplication of endevor. The uni
versity will, of course, look after
any legal details In connection
with such matters free of charge.

who are unable and unwilling to

section of the country.
Athletics In Cast.
Moreover, when they say educa
tional Institutions of the west put
athletics fir-t. 1 think It Is well to
irmernoer that Harvard university
waa the firt liuaitutlon In this
country to build a large stadium
for football games. Again, ir one
vMlta Ihe campus of Vale. Har
vard or Princeton universities be
ia impresHed Immediately with the
sue of the stadiums of these In
stitution! anil the emphasis that
Is placed on nthletirs. In fsct. I
think If one has been aasociated
at all with eastern Institutions be
realize that not only do they pay
a great deal of attention to foot
ball, basketball, baseball and track,
but in the spring the entire stu
dent body of the larger institutions
Is In much more of an uproar con
cerning the activities of their re
spective crews. It Is true, to be
sure, thst there Is an accompany
ing emphasis placed on scholar
ship and Intellectual attainment.
The same Is tme in the University
of Nebraska.
If the clause "Eastern colleges
emphasize Intellectual attainment"
means the maintenance or tne
value of higher education from
the purely cultural point of view,
there are. It acems to me, possibly
three reattuua why taste in Insti
tutions may have aome advantage
over western Institutions. In tne
first place. I believe one finds a
larger proportion of the sons and
daughters of wealthy parents ta
eastern Institutions who need not
worry about their future but can
pursue culture for the sake of cul
ture. In the west, generally speak
ing, the student realizes that be
must go on living after be has
completed his college courses and
that sooner or later be will largely
be responsible for his own support
This consciousness on the part of
tha student together with that of
his parents has placed an lrreslst
ible demand on college administra
tors for an Increasing number of
professional and quasi-professional
courses. This has occurred to the
consternation of the educational
purist. In the second place It Is
true, I believe, that eastern tnstl
tutlons give more attention to the
admission qualifications presented
by the high Bchool graduate. East
ern institutions being largely en
d o w e d independent institutions
have a freedom of action In this
regard that Is not possible in the
large tax supported universities of
the west. Thirdly, eastern Institu
tions being proportionately much
better supported than western in
stitutions can furnish better facil
ities and more generous instruc
tion.
Graduates In Demsnd
However, I cannot conclude this
letter without stating that the
situation purported to exist re
garding the employment of teach
ers in the east d'ea not hold in re
gard to the employment of west
ern college graduates in lh Indus
tries and certain professions of the
east. In fact, since coming into
tnis office some three yeara ago it
has been my privilege to visit with
personnel officers from some of
the largest industrial coccerns In
the country who have come here
looking for prospective seniors to
take into their organizations. Up
on questioning these men as to
why they come west to obtain men,
they have responded without ex
ception that western college grad
uates are more alert, generally
equally Intelligent, and much more
adaptable than men who were edu
cated in eastern institutions. This
statement not only holds for men
from professional colleges, but
men from our liberal arts colleges
majoring in chemistry, geology,
physics and so forth. I have also
been told by some research profes
sors of eastern institutions that

With reference to our own Insti
tution, while I am sure Intercol
letMate athletic do eet more
publicity than other phases of unl
vertsty work. I feel that anyone
who Is t-loselv associated with the
InsCiu.ion knows that athletics
play but a very minor part In the
mind of the average student. It Is
true he mav be seen In the stadium
from four to five Saturday after
noons earn ran. He may spena a
half docen evenings attending bas
ketball games and possibly several
Saturday afternoons In the spring
watching track meets and baseball
games. These occasions serve a
worthy purpose in nirnisning ror
manv students relaxation, for oth
ers change if activity, and still
others an opportunity to give ex
pression to me pent-up ruuness or
life I feel sure that If were were
to grant the proposition that par
ticipation in inierconegiaie am
letlrs Interferred with intellectual
attainment, less than 10 percent of
our student body would be af
fected. Tt la mv nnlnlon thst ours is at

sake of argument, we grant the
Implication mat me "lnieueciuai
attainment" In our western Insti
tutions la less considering the In
tellectual capacities of the student
than their attainment wouia oe in
eastern Institutions, causes other
than athletics alone must be

possible that the difference be
