Baslaesa Colleges.
Lincoln Is fortunate In having two
bualnes colleges which will compare
with any la the country. Both ar
quipped with all the .modern advantages
and both ar' turning out hundreds of
students every year capable of stepping
Into every avenue of business and filling
th place assigned them.
Lincoln Business college 1 th
oldest of Its kind la th city. About two
years ago It moved Into Its new build
ing, which had been erected especially
to fill th need of a college of this kind.
Th college first started out aa a small
school In 1884, and for years was situated
la th Oliver Theater building Its busi
ness Increased so rapidly th last few
years that It was necessary to have
more room and better facllltlea for car
rying on the work, and ao th present
building waa erected. Last year about
00 students attended thla college and
this year has been Increased consid
erably. President E. C. Bigger feel
that th acme of perfection haa been
Juat aa nearly reached aa It Is possible
to do so In th new location and the
success with which he la placing grad
uate of th Institution and their abil
ity to make gnod, convince him that no
mistake waa made when th new build
ing waa erected at th corner of Four
teenth and V and th col'eg moved
from wher It had been from Infancy.
All atudent graduate ar found positions
when they lesvs th school.
Th Nebraska Bchool of Business dates
Its creation back to 104. when aa Brown's
Business college. It first sprang Into ex
istence). It continued In Its location at
Fifteenth and O for several years, when
It waa purchased by W. M. Bryant and
