Put me down for one.1' The work offered by tile Hnglish de partment in public speaking cannot be commended too highly. It to offering the students something practical, some thing that will be of great value to them in the every day life of the world. Some are inclined to look upon this work as a "snap," but we know from our own ex perience that it to not. There Is as much hard conscientious work done in this line as in many departments of the Uni versity, and the benefits derived are in comparably greater. No student who ever hopes to be able to tell others what he knows, or thinks he knows, should fail to take a year's training in this class. The Seniors have, we think, acted wisely in drawing the line as sharply as possible between the Academic and In dustrial colleges and the College of Law. They have decided to ignore the mem bers of the I.aw School in the matter of commencement invitations and class day exercises. A college education is some thing entirely different from a profes sional education. We might as well offer a six months' course in book keeping and call that a college education. The requirements for admission to the Law School and to the Preparatory depart ment are the same. The law student need not be a college nran, in fact he seldom is. They should have a separate commencement. The Senior who has spent one or two years in the I.aw School should not have the honor of graduating with the student who has earned his sheep-skin by four or six years of hard work. Kithcr the requirements for ad mission to the Law School should be raised or the faculty should provide for separate days of graduation. Thh NmiRASKAN is glad to note the growing interest which is be ing manifested by both students and faculty in the system of joint debates. This is as it should be, and Tint Nit iikaskan hails it as the presage of such a revival of the almost lost art of oratory as will convince the most confirmed and dyspeptic growler that there is plenty of oratory and oratory in the true sense of the word in the University, which has only been awaiting a fitting opportunity to manifest itself. And for another and a weightier reas on Tint NitnitASKAN is rejoiced at this tendency. There is one thing, and that a most essential element of University greatness, in which we are, as yet, sadly lacking and that is college spirit par tisanship first, last and all the time for the University of Nebraska. Anyone who has been among eastern colleges and Universities knows what college spirit is in these institutions, knows what it accomplishes for the school, how it strengthens and solidifies it, how it extends its fame and glory, how it unites students into one harmonious body working for one paramount object the advancement of their own college. Bveu an onlooker has felt his blood to thrill while witnessing the intense and unswerving college patriotism of eastern students. As to our own University, tuucli remains to be accomplished in this direction. Tint Nbhuaskan had hoped and believed that our Charter Day exer cises would accomplish much and they did. And yet we are confronted right now with such a spectacle ac never could occur where there was true college spir it. Let us not disguise the facts. Let ns lookrat them as-they are. We see the best orator hat has represented this University and this state for years enter ing the inter-state contqst, not with an enthusiastic "nud united.' student body it. behind him, encouraging and spurring him on to a victory which would be the common glory of the untlre University, but with dtocordaut and belligerent fac tious at hto back, Hcralchlng and fight ing like Kilkenny cats, with the "reprc (tentative (?) college paper" striving in every way in Hh power, by despicable personal llings, by insult and abuse, to discourage that champion whose inter est, regardless of personal feelings, should be the common intcrcHl of uh all. This unfortunate stale of affairs to due to a lack of college spirit. And Tint Nil- iiuahkan believes that thto syHtem of joint delmtcH to just what to needed to mipply thto want. There can be more genuine enthusiasm, more honest college patriotism worked up over an inter collegiate Joint debate than over a half dozen oratorical contests, and for thto reason we welcome the joint debate, Tin; Nhiikaskan, therefore, calls on all patriotic students to In lores! them selves in the joint discussion which is soon to be arranged Mr with Kansas, and which will be held early in the next school year. Let us sec that good men are selected to represent us in that de bale, and let us select those men, not on account of their University allilia tlons, but on account of their ability to do our institution honor in that tourna ment. Anil above all, let us do our lighting before the selections arc made, not after. In the meantime, let us all see that the letuin debate of the U, II. D. C. with Cotner University, to be held here on May 1 1 Hi, is made a rousing success. Let us, as students, evolve out of our Inner consciousness enough enthusiasm to show at that debate that we love the grand old University of Nebraska, and let us, each and every one, demonstrate that love and give all possible encour agement to our debaters. They will do their part; let us do ours. In the March number of the Nebraska Wvxlejan there appears certain remarks about the contest, which were evidently penned by the defeated orator, Mr. Shank. The following letter, however, signed by two of Wesleyan's represen tative men, shows the attitude of their college towards the Stale orator: Univkrsity Pi,ack, Nun., April .). University of Nebraska, Lincoln, Neb.: We believe a word here will not be out of place with a view towards vindicating what may seem to be the sentiment of the Wesleyau with reference to our recent State contest. In the March issue of our Nfbruxku Wcslrian there appears some interest ing remarks on "oratory," "Louisiana state lottery " "the cost of judges," etc. As representatives of the Wesleyau Uni versity, we wish to disclaim these insin uations as representing in any sense the opinion or sentiment of the fair minded student body of our institution. The winning orator, Mr. McMullen, has fairly earned his place, and we recognize him as our representative and will support him as such. Sincerely, P. II. ESSltRT. P. R. HOM.RN11ACH.
