Agree With Hutchins. "I think I can agree with Presi dent Hut (Inns of Chicago," she re marked, "when he says that in structors in the modern university in this country are spending much of their time writing for the pur pose of gaining an economically valuable icputation instead of growing m stature as actual edu cators of youth." Miss Pteiffer spoke with mature giatilude of the men under whom she studieil as an undergraduate. Bc.-ides speaking of the warm per sonal inleiest in students exhibited by the men already mentioned, I r. 1'feitfer eulogized Dr. F. M. Fling under whom she woiked for lier doctor's degree in the history of the French revolution as a man "who had that integrity wbi h makes lor cholaihhip." "ScIioImi ship standards for ad mission to the university sre -n-tnely too low," Miss Pteiffer of fered lis a passing shot at the generally confused state of educa tion. "This may be necessitated by Ihe fact that Nebraska is a lax supported institution, but regard less of this, the situation does exist in which we continue to turn out more and more students with a greater jumble of information and neither the ability nor the desire to think."

"Canl'ield. who was chancellor when I was a student, took a keen interest in individual students. she remembered. "The university was still small enough that lfe knew all of those enrolled person ally." The retiring history professor's reminiscence on the next chancel lor, McLean, brought up the names of prominent graduates from Ne braska: Harvey Newbranch, man aging editor of the Omaha World Herald; Dr. Hartley Burr Alex ander, onetime head of the philos ophy department and now profe.S' sor at Scripps college in Califor nia; and Ned Abbott, head of the blind school at Nebraska City. hen McLean, fresh from the cultural east where he had ab sorbed a lot of what the east prided itself upon, came to rough and wild Nebraska and tried to introduce, and finally did intro duce, student receptions with the chancellor and faculty members receiving at the door, these young student leaders felt that he was trying to foist tribal customs or worse upon them as they stirred the oposition to a fevered pitch. Plans Return to Europe. After citing several juicy anec dotes and pithy quotations from the term of Chancellor Andrews, Miss Pteiffer concluded that it was this man who really put the university on the map as a seat of learning-back in the days when academic standing meant more than registration totals. Tho reticent to dwell on the highlights of her own career. Dr. Pfeiffer vouchsafed the informa tion that she intended to return to Europe in the very near future her fifth time over to continue work on her French Revolutionary history to be entitled "History of the Legislative Assembly." She in dicated that she would have had the book completed some time ago except that her teaching and peace work required most of her time. Miss Pfeiffer is executive scc lelaiy of the Nebraska League of Nations association. She lias been active in peace ever since the war and still has a reasoned faith in the efficiency of organization, namely, the league, to eventually tiring about world peace, "As an institution the 17 year old league has done remailiably well against the (KMIO year old in stitution of war," she declared. 'And when world peace does come, it will come thru organiza tion an organization to which all nations are willing to lw their necks." In closing her remarks, the his torian, e,iii alor, world traveler, and pence worker voiced regret at thai fact that .September 15 would never again mean the professorial routine for her, and mingled with her repiet was the expectation at being able to letiiin to her haunts in the archives of the Pans library, to her researi h work and Ixiok.

About three o'clock Sunday morning a taxi stopped in front of a sorority house. The occupant emerged, considered the aspect of the house, and, not particularly liking the looks of it, transferred his attention and faltering foot steps to the dorm. His frantic banging at the door, repeated at length and with gusto, brought re sults, though probably not the re sults expected. On the way to the station there came to the ears of Officer McGee the following tale: The person in question supposedly had come down from Minnesota to visit his frat brothers. Emerging from a highly satisfactory party and being in Lincoln for the first time, he became confused as to which side contained sororities and which fraternities, and found him self the victim of circumstances. Humane treatment was recom mended and accorded him, how ever, on his testimony that "Of ficer McGee slipped several times, but I picked him up and brought him in." Dr H. W. Manter of the de partment ot zoology has been In vited to write a paper in the field of parasitology for the memorial volume to be published in South America in honor of Dr. Lauro Travassos who has just com pleted 25 years of scientific nerv ice with the Institute of Oswaldo Cruz at Rio de Janeiro. Many other outstanding parasitologists from other countries will also write papers for this volume which is to appear in January of 1938. Last Times Today JAMES STARTLING! " e It fairly leaps at you!
