DAILY NEBRASKAN
tdtidu
"To be a graduate of a college is never to be totally released
from it; oice a Nebraskan is to be ahcays Nebraskan in the deep
down constitution of our natures Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander.
Penned by one of the most beloved men ever to walk the halls of these
university buildings, the above words are too often forgotten and ground into
the selfish whirl of our university undergraduate life, never to be remembered
or recollected during our lives as alumni.
What a pity it is so many of us nuist be reminded after we receive de
grees that we really have an abiding loyalty and affection for this university!
What a disgrace it is we know po little of what will be our alma mater;
that after we leave it, we will be unable to defend it and praise it leforc
those who would misjudge and suspicion!
What a shame it is that we as undergraduates go through four years of
school so blindly unobservant of the spirit that is smothering within us,
allowing it to rise only with the fortunes of the football team ; what a shame
that we are so terribly inexpressive of the goodness and values which this
university is inculcating into us!
What a crime is committed when we feel our way unguided and bereft
of the unified spirit and enthusiasm that so many great educational institu
tions have underlying the undergraduate career!
What a misunderstanding of what we are here for! The whole ugly
picture will rise in retrospect after we are gone unless we do something
about it before then. Proms, fraternity, Innoccncy, Mortar Board, football,
Uarb Union, Kosmet Klnb, N club, AWS . . . they are all fun, they all give
us fine associations. But all of them as a unit, as owe unit, don't mean a
thing to most of us and may not . . . unless!
Because we don't realize that our college careers, as a unit, and not jnst
parts of it, should mean something to us; because we failed, and are now
failing to understand that life in this university, whether we are Greek or
Barb, in activities or not, must be and is the very foundation of our futures;
because most of us forget that this school is the very place where we change
... . m
our habit., iake on our personalities, develop mucn or our .character . . ,
because we have not understood all of this, we have Income a dormant,
ineffective student body, forgetful of tHe growth and evolution of character
and soul that this university gives us FKEJ5!
Yes, we pay to take courses ... we pay about a third of what it costs
the taxpayers of the state to support our education.
But we do not pay for the real things we get! We do not pay for the
added enjoyment of youth, for the awakening to manhood and womanhood
that is brought so much sooner, for the chance to know what kind of people
we will associate with in our later years, for the greater share of the
knowledge we get from our curricula, or for the companionships and asso
ciations we made which would not have been made outside of school.
The argument runs, "We could have gotten all of this at another school V
But you got it here! If you had gotten it elsewhere, your debt would be to
the other school.
Seniors! Juniors! Sophomores! Freshmen! Think about all of this!
Don't wait until you are gone to realize what this university means to you!
Don't kid yourself into thinking that you are paying for everything you get
here! ln't allow that inhemit, selfish nature that we all possess to keep
yon from wanting to lie proud of this school because of everything it has
given you!
IV proud of Nebraska now and forever! When you leave Nebraska, there
should be a place for it in your hearts ... a place it well deserves!
This is a great school ! That we know because of the record of our alumni
from coast to coast. Educators, prominent lawyers, doctors, engineers, busi
ness men . . . many, many more of them from Nebraska than the proportion
to the total would indicate come from your school and attest to the greatness
of Nebraska as an educational institution. This university has done more in
contributing to the intelligence of this nation than any other school working
under the handicaps it works under.
Be proud of Nebraska for its real worth.

sunshine is the best cure for this
cold."
Margaret Lucille Helms, an un
classified frosh, didn't like the
rally. After rallies day and night,
all she could say was, "It's too
noisy, too much of a mob I'm
waiting for my boy friend, and
I'll never find him here. I hate
mobs and I hate rallies.''
Bob Portwood, frosh in bizad,
could see the university official's
point as he admitted, "This rally
business has been carried a little
bit too far but anything goes
when we go to the Rose Bowl."
"We are doing just what we
should be doing," said George Mc
Murty, Junior In arts college and
chairman of the Corn-Cob rally
committee. "But I do think we
shouldn't carry this thing too far,
if, for no other reason than that
every kid on campus might catch
pneumonia from being out in the
cold so long."
The last person to be questioned,
Barbara York, sophomore teacher,
tired but still happy, sighed a fit
ting ending, "It's wonderful."
