REV. DREW SPEAKS
ON FUTURE LIFE OF
Engage Significant Activity,
Live With Understanding,
Speaker Stresses.
Answering the question, "Will I
be Wanted?" which is asked by
so many graduating students, who
are abut to leave their circle of
closest friends, Rev. Robert E.
Drew, Methodist student pastor of
the Wesley foundation spoke at
the Y. W. vesper services held
yesterday afternooi in Ellen Smith
hall, in recognition of all senior
members of the university Y. W.
C. A.
"To be wanted," according to
Kcv. Mr. Drew, "one should be en
gaged in an activity with univer
sal significance, should live with
sympathy and tenderness, and
should live with understanding
among one's family and friends."
In adding to the point which he
wi6hed to emphasize, the speaker
named such outstanding figures
as Florence Nightingale and Jane
Adams, aa being examples of per
sons who had lived the type of
life, such as to be wanted and
honored by all with whom they
came in contact.
Meditation music, including Mc
Dowell's numbers, "To a Wild
Rose" and "To a Water Lily,"
served as a prelude to the regular
sen ices of the meeting on Tues
day. Jane Hopkins, pianist of the
vesper choir, played the opening
aolos.
Thoughts, which would be of
special significance to the senior
women present, were given by
Lorraine Hitchcock, former presi
dent of. the Y. V., as a part of the
devotionals for the meeting.
Programs for the meeting, made
by members of the vesper staff of
the Y. W were in the form of
black Mortar boards, in keeping
With the general theme of the rec
ognition service.

Of Prof. Crawford's
Writing Class.
Students in magazine writing
under Prof. R. P. Crawford have
discovered another profitable out
let for their work which gives
promise of straining the produc

rest of the year.
A few weeks ago the Omaha
Bee-News as a special Sunday fea
ture began the publication of one
article from Mr. Crawford's class
each Sunday, giving both the
writer and the university full
credit. So successful has the past
month's series proved that the edi

made a regular Sunday feature
