COMMENCEMENT TIME.
"TIlIS JUNE It commencement time for 134.000
American collrge senior. At graduation .
rn'iwi the country over, thu new army of cap and
(Town wearei will be awarded Bachelor of Art! de
greea. For the mot part, colleg career of the
young people will be over forever. The nation
will add tbm to Hi rulli or adult wage earner.
They will put. Into practice tht academic ami
theoretical preparation which ha taken from one
third to one-fourth of their epected span of life.
The trachnli al background they have secured will
be helpful In thrir vocation, but will have to b
supplemented by much additional training tbat can
come only through actual contact with the practical
a.pert of the work.
Ortalnly thia aide of college training la Impor
tant. But If the enllghted legion who aally forth
into the world next month have gained only factual
knowledge from four yean In university, that pe
riod of their live will have been largely waited.
Intellectual expansion, an appreciation of the
aesthetic things life baa to offer, an understanding
of w hat life la all about, a philosophy of living that
they have thought out for themselves, a broadened
point of view, and a reconstructed set of Ideals
surtaxing adolescent principles these are far
mote important than tae technical aspect of a uni
versity education.
The Ideals developed In a university should be
particular significance to the graduate. The Ideals
that tower In a western state institution are far
bronder and richer and finer than those which ac
crui from contact with a conservative, endowed,
eastern school.
Actual dnmncracy. as It was conceived and prac
ticed by pioneer Americans, has practically disap
peared. It la still preached by politicians, but it is
disguised under the toga of big busine. of class
distinction, of economic repression, of restrictions
upon Individual liberty.
rVIMOCRATlC institutions and democratic spirit'
emphasized by pioneers are threatened. In the
state university, with its equal advantages offered j
to all. these ideals must be perpetuated. The mate- !
rial aspect of this democracy is changed, but the in- !
tellectual material aspect of this democracy is
changed, but the Intellectual conception is widened
still farther by the increasing popularity of educa
tion. The ideals of a people determine the character of
a university. Nebraska, still remembering its fron
tier struggles, remains democratic in its convictions,
endows its university with these principles. The
state university in turn continues to emphasize
democracy, though in actual social practice this
ideal suffers.
The social side of a democracy manifest in a state
university Is superficial. The chief idea involved is
that each Individual who chooses to take advantage
of the opportunities offered the youth of this state
may do so If he wills.
In the world of tomorrow the Idea of material
conquest has been replaced by the Ideal of intel
lectual achievement. Fifty years "ago any man in
spired toward adventure and conquering the un
known could "go west." To day the west is gone"
but those who seek new worlds are finding them in
the spiritual and intellectual fields emphasized and
developed in a university.
More and more are university graduates consid
ered leaders of today. Theirs is the duty of per
petuating the democratic concepts involved in an
education and the democratic Ideals of a state uni
versity. The class of 1930 should remember it has this
solemn duty to the state which has provided Its
education when It tramps across the Coliseum plat
form to receive its sheepskins Commencement day.
tainly was some ground for their Mpreaaton. Nu
mourns outsiders have been frequenting the parties
and they are many time an undesirable type. As
these daie continue with an open dior policy to
all who car to spend their 11 ot W cents, this
rnitley crowd will increase and the university aspect
of the parties will be loot.
To guard against a growing tendency in this di
rection and to remedy an evil wnich many sincerely
believe already exist, the barbs should adopt a
mraaui to restrict all from th partle without
Identification card. Tht would not only erv to
weld the baib group together more aolidly, but
could be an effective measure to promote a uni
versity feeling at the dances.
In falmea to the student who regard these par
tie a their principal octal outlet, the faculty com
mittee should inaixt upon Indentiflcatlon card In
granting th parties tu th Barb council next year.
To the council goes considerable commendation for
the excellent way in which the partle wer con
ducted during th past year, both financially and
fmm i he standpoint of entertainment No on Inti
mate that these affair should be tranaferred to
any other group, but the failure to accept an Identi
fication can! aystem i a valid criticism.
RETURNING ALUMNI
pLOSIXY associated with the closing day of
school are th thought of reunion, when for
mer student return to the cene of their collegiate
activity. Only a few are am lo auena year aner
year, but those who do seem to find a never ending
eourc of joy in recalling to mind the day so long
past
A w arm welcome should be extended to those who
return tbi pring. a welcome that will make tnem
realize that they constitute a vital part of thi great
educational Institution.
Invitations are now being ent out by the univer
lty and by the various campu groups. One alum
nus, deciding for the first time to again visit the
campus, expressed hi opinion that what other
thought wer the gloriou day wer after all not
so gloriou. 'The good old day were the bunk,"
ne aays. compared with what conditions must be
now.
But to. most returning alumni the "good old days"
will be tniely Just that While they will enjoy see
Ins; the progress that has been made sine their
student days, the university will continue to be to
them the same Institution thst they left years ago.
Loyally they defend their alma mater, and find
as much glory In the achievements of the school a
do those who are now attending.
MILESTONES
AT NEBRASKA
BARB PARTIES.
LTHOUGH the faculty committee on student af
fairs has taken on definite action on the mat
ter, the Barb council is figuring on a series of barb
psrties next fall and winter. Some change in the
nature of the affairs looms as the result of the
part year's experience.
Barbs are insisting on calling the dances barb
parties, rather than all-university parties, which
they aren't. They plan only to have six Instead of
seven of the affairs, believing that interest wanes
when they come more often. A change in the price
of admission is being considered. But no plan to
introduce identification cards as admission tickets
has as yet met with the favor of the barb group.
The Nebraskan's advocacy of the identification
card idea is based on the success of the plan at the
agricultural college mixers and on a cursorial ex
amination of the crowd that has attended barb
parties the past year. It contends tbat these par
ties should be limited to university students, that
employing no restrictive measure opens the dances
to outsiders who are quick to take advantage of
the exceptionally low price the barb council ha
been able to offer.
Several complaints as to the constituency of the
crowd have been voiced during the past semester.
They may have been exaggerated but there cer-

FROM DR. H. B. ALEXANDER.
To the editor:
My attention has been brought to issues of The
Nebraskan of May 18. 21, 22 and to a circular by
Mr. Jensen entitled "Congratulations, Mr. Editor,"
all containing allusions to my self. I profoundly
regret that my name should in any manner be
brought into connection with criticisms of the Uni
versity of Nebraska as under its present adminis
tration, where certainly I have no competence to
speak.
I do, however, think that I am justified In re
questing you to publish my denial of two state
ments in your editorial of May 18, namely, that I
at any time "demanded" (I quote your word) that
I be made chairman of a committee for the draft
ing of a constitution for the university, and again
that as a step in reorganization I "wished" the
abolition of the teachers college. Neither of these
statements is true.
When in the spring of 1927 I had decided to
present my resignation to the University of Ne
braska I was unofficially requested by a member
of the board of regents to present to the president
of the board a statement of the conditions upon
which I migh,t be willing, to remain in the univer
sity. :2
In answer to this request I stated these condi
tions, which were genuinely "conditions" and in no
sense "demands." They did not Include nor con
template the abolition of the teachers college, al
though they did ask that the matter of the A.B.
degree and the certification of teachers through the
college of arts and sciences be submitted to its fac
ulty for the consideration which I believe they had
never received from that body.
I also asked to be empowered to select a com
mittee to draw up a provisional constitution for
the university, securing certain right to iU facul
ties (nothing was said about chairmanship), though
this was to be in no sense mandatory, but merely
for the board's consideration. It was my opinion
that this long talked of move could be best made
while there was no appointed chancellor. In his
quotations as to these matters from letters which
at request I showed him in copy, Mr. Jensen is, I
believe, quite correct.
Mr. Jensen is also correct in saying that I did
not leave the University of Nebraska for reasons
either of salary or title, a fact which my letters
made clear. I think, therefore, that I am Justified
in resenting the repeated Implication that an In
crease of salary persuaded me to leave Nebraska.
1 had served the university for many years with
opportunities of this sort open to me, and I think
that my stand in favor of a salary scale rather
than salary favoritism is sufficiently known. My
letters made this matter clear, also.
