ON
DEAN SHERMAN.
"Dean Lucius A. Sherman
was a commanding figure in
the University of Nebraska
for forty-seven years. Essen
tially a scholar and a literary
critic, he was an inspiring
teacher to those interested in
literature and the humani
ties," said Chancellor E. A.
Burnett of the university
Tuesday morning. "He was
chairman of the department
of English language and lit
erature from the time he
came to the university to his
retirement in 1930. He held in
turn position of dean of the
College of Arts and Sciences,
the Graduate college, and sen
ior dean of the university, but
he loved best his work as a
teacher of literature. A pro
ductive scholar, he was a
member of many scholastic
honorary societies.
"While inactive since 1930,
when he was given an emeri
tus status, he had still re
tained an interest in univer
sity affairs and had continued
his Shakespeare studies. His
death is a distinct loss to the
university community where
he labored for nearly a half
century."
STUDENTS TO SELECT
Editor Gives Instructions for
For Voting Beginning on
Wednesday, Feb. 15.
For the first time since the year
book has been published Nebraska
students are to select their own
cover for the 1933 Cornhusker. R.
W. Spencer yesterday announced
plans for the cover contest which
is to be open for one week, starl
ing today, Feb. 15, and closing
next Wednesday, Feb. 22, at 5
p. m.
Seven different covers, done in a
variety of colors and leather grains
will allow a wide choice. Ballots
for voting appear in this issue of
the Daily Nebraskan and will be
printed each day during the con
test. The covers are on display on
a counter near the entrance to
Long's bookstore, just across from
the campus.
Each cover is numbered. Here's
how to vote. Clip the ballot from
your copy of the Daily Nebraskan
and after you have seen the covers
chock the number that corresponds
to the cover that appeals to you
and drop it in the ballot box at the
book store.
The editor urges that all students
take advantage of this opportunity
to select the cover for the new
Cornhusker. "Since the hook is
published primarily for the stu
dents we feel that by offering
them this chance to choose the
cover we are able to give them
truly a student publication," he
said.
OWN YEARBOOK COVER
NEBRASKA CHARTER DAY
Charter day is a day for taking
stock of our progress as a univer
sity. The day grows more signifi
cant as the years multiply after
our graduation and our memories
run back for ten, twenty, or even
forty and fifty years. The first
graduate of the university secured
his degree in 1873, sixty years ago
next June. This graduate is J. S.
Dales, secretary of the board of
regents.
Not many of us can span so long
a period, but we remember with
reverence Prof. Laurence Fossler,
for forty-four years a professor,
and others who have influenced
student life for nearly half a cen
tury. Dean Sherman, whose death
occurred this week, spent forty
seven years in active service as a
teacher of youth in the university.
Professors Barbour and Fling
have been with us forty-two years,
Miss Clara Conklin forty-one years,
Prof. A. L. Candy and Miss Louise
Pound since 1893. Others of more
recent date h.ve profoundly influ
enced the life of the student body
in their day and their memory lives
in the hearts of many alumni and
former students."
The early days of the university
were times of privation, even of
poverty, which would make Pres

A somi-ncadomie manner of pre

Prof. K ul M. Arndt of the eco

of the Economics Round Table
Tuesday Feb. 14 at 7 p. m. paved

which followed. The introductory
talk had as its principal purpose
the raising of certain questions
doaliusr with inflationary measures
their advantages and disadvan

stitutes for an inflationary policy.
The talk presented two principal
reasons for such a measure a
more honest dollar for debt pay

inflation will raise farm prices
into a more favorable relation to
other prices. In attempting to
show the unworthiness ot sucn a
policy, Arndt based his reasons on
the answers to live questions -"Why
should we inflate?" "What
should we inflate?" "How can we
inflate?" "What consequences may
we expect from inflation?" and

I iSlllO MATERIALS
Posters Display Drosses
Of Different Styles,
Color and Ages.
Miss Grace M. Morton of the
home economics department is ex
hibiting material from the Trap
hagen school of fashion this week.
Posters showing modern dress de
sign in color and adaptations of
beautiful costumes of the past are
in the exhibit. Pen and ink illus
trations of fashions for magazines
and several interesting pen pic
tures to use in illustrating articles
are included. One particularly in
teresting picture shows Ethel
Barrymore as "Portia" in a gown
designed for her by the Traphagcn
school.
Another shows a group of the
students in the "hard times"
dresses and pajamas they designed
and made themselves which cost
as little as 50 cents and $1. Some
of the examples are particularly
fine for color and detail, and many
of them are original costumes de
signed by students in the school.
The exhibit will continue until next
week on the third floor of the
Home Economics building.
ent times seem like times of abun
dance. Still out of that period
came stalwart men and women,
founders of a great state. In ear
lier times poverty was no barrier
to securing an education. Those
who sacrifice today in order to pre
pare themselves better to meet the
battles of life in later years will
look back upon their college days
with the same feeling of satisfac
tion as do the graduates of our pio
neer days.
The past year has seen growth
in many scholastic interests. It
has seen a strengthening of stu
dent organizations. Less than nor
mal attention has been devoted to
social activities, with more than
normal interest in scholastic objec
tives. Social stratification based
upon ability to spend has tended to
disappear, but scholarship and
sterling character has tended to
seek higher levels. We look back
upon the year just passing with
much of satisfaction. We look for
ward to the coming years with
abundant confidence. The univer
sity which has furnished opportu
nity leading to final success in the
past has lost nothing of its crea
tive power for those who strive.
Success comes only thru strenuous
endeavor.

FEBRUARY BLUE PRINT
Edition to Be Dedicated
To All Nebraska Hirjh
School Students.
The February issue of the Ne
braska Blue Print, which will be
released early next week, will be
dedicated to the high school stu
dents of Nebraska, according to
an announcement made Tuesday
by John H. Hutchings, editor.
The February issue features an
article by Joe Dcklotz, mechanical
engineering senior, on "Your
Preparation for College," which
explains the high school credits
required for admission to the Col
lege of Engineering. In addition
Charles DeVore, junior in electrical
engineering, presents the first of
a series of articles concerning
prominent Nebraska engineering
alumnae, and Hugh Schmidt, civil
engineering sophomore, contrib
utes an article on the Hoover
Dam.
The College of Engineering will
send a copy of the February Blue
Print to every accredited Nebraska
high school, to better acquaint fu
ture engineering students with not
only the entrance requirements,
but with the best preparatory
courses. It is hoped thus to help
the situation in which many stu
dents find themselves compelled to
attend college one or more extra
semesters to secure the necessary
hours for admission into the En
gineering college.
