Commencement at IT; Lacked Only Grads i __________ The University of Nebraska's first commencement, held June 26, 1872, seems to have been com plete in every detail except one: there were no graduates. The only degree conferred was an honorary LL D bestowed upon Bishop Robert H. Clarkson of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of Nebraska. Not only was the university without graduates, it was almost without students. During the first year there were only eight “reg ular” students enrolled in the university, in addition to 12 ir regular students and 110 in the Latin or preparatory school. For a number of years the university was faced with the fact that there were very few students in the state prepared for regular university work. As a result, much of its enrollment in the' early years was in the prepara tory school. Indeed, by unfriendly critics ouistale the university was oc casionally referred to as the < “Lincoln high school." The first regular degree in course was confered upon J. Stuart Dales of East Rochester, O., at the second annual commen cement, 1873. On the occasion of the first commencement, J. M. Woolworth, a prominent Omaha attorney, re livered the principal address. His subject was, The Duty of the State to Provide Higher In struction.” He congratulated his fellow Ne braskans on the fact that this state had seen fit to provide a pub lic institution of higher learning while still a new state: “the state of Nebraska possesses an university, which much more than her improvements, indust ries and wealth, sets her, in the comparison with other states at so young an age, far beyond them all. . . . here is far higher cause for just pride and elevated hope, than the growth, lorge and rapid as it is, that can be measured by acres, and miles, and dollars and cents.” Judge Woolworth’s address would seem prolix indeed to a modem audience, but despite its length and high-flows oratory, it contains a good discussion of the importance of high ?r educa tion—as distinguished from trade-school education—to the j people of Nebraska. He aurged cogently and to the point that providing an op portunity for the average young man or woman to obtain a lib eral education would repay the state many fold on its invest ment in the university. He concluded: “Each year, the class of grad uates will go from here; small at first, but growing larger and larger, until numbered by hund reds, they shall scatter among the towns and villages. . . and shall impress upon the policies of the state, and all the institutions of society, he characters which shall here be moulded. Sending hence this stream of educated young men. . . this university will re pay the state its cost, beyond all account in dollars and cents, and enrich the people with an in of services.” Ewing News Mrs. R.

In 1952, about 70 percent ofj United States railroad expendi-f tures went for equipment. Frontier for printing! Fashions come and fashions go but tender, juicy, full-flavored ham is always the style leader in the spring parade of food favorites. Gar nished with easy-to-make fruit baskets, this beautifully glazed ham brings a real breath of spring to your table. If your family numbers six or more, a whole regular smoked ham, a Ready-to-Eat ham, or a canned ham is the best buy. For smaller families, a shank or butt half of ham is a good choice. Directions for preparing whole hams are clearly printed on the wrapper. To bake a half ham, wrap it in heavy waxed paper, place cut side down on a rack in a shallow baking pan and roast at 325 F. Half hams of the regular smoked (uncooked) variety require 25-27 minutes per pound. To reheat Ready-to-Eat half hams, allow about 15-17 min utes per pound. Directions for canned hams appear on the label. The beautiful glaze is the artistic touch, and the secret to achieving it is in keeping the glaze free from fat Half an hour before ham i» done, remove rind, place fat side up and score the surface. Pour off the drippings before applying the glaze. Use only part of the glaze mixture for the first application. Save the rest for basting the ham at 10-minute intervals until the ham is a glistening, golden brown. Don’t sco^p up the glaze in the bottom of the pan, for this will have fat mixed with It. The glaze is made of one cup of brown sugar and the juice and grated Tind of *6 orange. Bring ham to the table surrounded with colorful fruit baskets made of scooped out oranges that have been scalloped and filled with chilled cut fruits, grapes, and berries. Mr. and Mrs. C. B.
