When We Look ot the Past
for Future Inspiration
A small, white-haired man, mature in years yet young in
spirit and ideals, last night calmly sat in the Union to hear
great praise bestowed upon his work. He was Dr. A. A. Recti,
a grand fellow. Several hundred members of the university
faculty, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Extension Di
vision, paid their respects to a man responsible for the growth
of a small department that had nothing more than a "purpose"
to one making higher education possible for every citizen of
the state.
Dr. Reed has been a pioneer and a trailblazer. His name
will go in Nebraska's hall of fame as that of a man who can
look back the long trail, see a journey well-traveled, and one
which has made its impression in the sod of university and
state academic life. Since coming to the university in 1911,
Dr. Reed has advanced in years but his clear mind has ever
sought the most modern.
Indicative of the spirit of progress which has always sym
bolized Dr. Reed is the story he has repeated with a chuckle
before many young minds: "On my way to Nebraska from
Illinois in 1889, I encountered two preachers. One of them told
of two men who, 20 miles apart, could talk into boxes and con
verse with each other.. The other preacher turned and said,
Anyone who would toy with the works of God in such a man
ner would be blasphemous.' "
Dr. Reed has led a full life. He came to Nebraska when
less than two thousand students were attending high school.
Now he sees more than eighty thousand high school students in
state that has increased only 20 percent in population since
those early days. He has seen a university grow from one of
several schools to its present size. And optimistically he looks
far to the future.
A glance at the pioneering, its hardships, and the past
work of Dr. Reed, should give us all inspiration for the
future.
No one is more important in a hospital than the patients;
ft is for his sake that the doctors increase their knowledge and
their skill, that nurses are carefully trained, and that equip
ment is improved and kept most modern. In college there is
X one more important than the student; it is for his sake that
colleges are built, professors hired, campuses maintained, and
libraries enriched. ,
These basic facts are not changed in their essence be
cause some patients maltreat their bodies stupidly or are so
lick that they are seemingly beyond the doctor's help nor
by the circumstance that some of our students are flighty,
ill-mannered, and only mildly interested in learning. Doctors
and teachers would both be untrue to the spirit of their
respective calling if they were defeatists from the start or
took only easy cases which were no challenge to their abilities
and which demand no sacrifices nor any deeper sense of
social responsibility.
The student should be the core and center of all under
taking in an institution of learning. Students are the future,
and it is the future alone that matters. Whatever a university
attempts, speculates, or endeavors to do, at great public cost,
is done for the sole purpose of aiding mankind in the days to
come. We should all be "future-minded." Research or opinion
in any other spirit, or without spirit, is a selfish game of make
believe. ... . ... . ..
As the patient must first tell of his pains or Ul-feelings,
the student must voice his reactions and sentiments. For that
reason, the DAILY is sponsoring its first student "gripe"
session. .The word, "gripe," perhaps has the wrong conno
tation. We do not choose "gripes" for "gripes" sake; we
choose to make the student aware of his position in the uni
versity and to let his sentiments help provide the basis for
research and planning. Thursday afternoon's session in the
Union 316 does not seek criticisms without foundation from
those only mildly interested in learning or betterment from
those who are ignorant of all the facts, or those attempting
to rectify their own personal shortcomings. It is a construc
tive, intelligent discussion of the problems of our community
that we seek.
NEWS COMMENT
Italy prepares
to help Finns
battle Russia
By Woerner and Steele.
Late
After Russia failed to reply to
the League of Nation's offer of
mediation, Tuesday evening the
time limit was extended 16
hours.
The one-sided battle between the
Big Russian Bear and the dogged
little Finn is arousing Italian sym
pathy and America is surprised.
The emotion is natural, most
Americans feel it strongly, but do
fascists, "Mussolini's robits," those
inhuman monsters who are as
cruel and devilish as Hitler's nazis
themselves, share in this American
sympathy for the underdog? Im
possible! But the facts. Hard-pressed
Finland has termed itself the out
post of civilization, called on all
civilized nations to come to her
aid and is fighting stubbornly
against odds. What state is send
ing air-planes, pilots and ground
crews; what state is profnising all
reasonable help? Italy. But cer
tainly 6he doesn't consider her
self among the civilized nations of
the world?
Germans stirring.
Even in "steel-souled" Ger
many murmerings are heard.
"That's our play-ground," goes
the mumbling, "and if one is go
ing to take a poke at the Finns,
it oughta be us." And the more
practical minded are a little dis
turbed that their mighty and in
vincible ally, of whom they re
cently boasted so vigorously, is
being held at bay, even if only
temporarily, by this little insigni
ficant nation of only three mil
lions. Should Hitler have taken a
couple of Jewish advisors along
when he made his deal with
Stalin?
Among many other nations the
U. S. is disturbed. "Who are we
going to be neutral against, any
way?" The press is collecting
funds and the government has
loaned ten millions for relief
among the Finns.
Finland asks league help.
While the world's diplomats
shadow box, the accompaniment
of whistling steel goes on. Rus
sian airplanes raid a fortified port
across the gulf of Finland; Fin
nish planes drop leaflets in Len
ingrad. Finnish troops withdraw
in one sector, counter-attack in
another. Scouts on skis slip in
side the Russian lines "to spy out
the land." The Finns take thou
sands of prisoners and Americans
wonder if their contributions of
relief will feed Finnish refugees
or Russian prisoners.
