The future is always in a cer
tain sense prophesied by the past:
and this is most of all true of an
institution which, having lived thru
a certain period of historic forma
tion, has, as it were, settled itself
in a course defined by its own
conscious tradition. The University
of Nebraska has reached such a
stage of development. During its
50 years of history it has passed
from the state of eager hope,
which attended its first seasons,

Jean Swift, Lincoln, member of

Comhusker at the coliseum party
party sponsored by the Barb Inter
club Council. Miss Swift was
elected to take her place among
the queens of the Nebraska cam
pus as a result of a heavy student
vote in the poll conducted during
the days preceeding the dance by
the Interclub Council.
Approximately 200 couples, who
had been dancing to the tunes
and watching the novelties of lied
Perkins' Dixie Ramblers, saw the
first lady of the evening for the
first time when the great curtains
on the coliseum stage were drawn
back. Below the white background
was the bannc bearing the in
scription "Miss Comhusker."
In perpendicular red letters on
either side of the central figure
Miss Swift's name appeared,
divulging her identity, Miss Com
husker walked thru red and white
streamers to receive a bouquet of
roses from Byrle Shuck, president
of the barb council.
