' All who are Inoimlit to any oonslderahle
extent In contact with Chancellor C'liulleld,
the lieml of the State University, have been
impressed with his wonderful capacity for
effectivo work, and to all such it is emphatic
allyapiwireut that the board of regents have
not misplaced an Important trust in his se
lection. The State University has a faculty
or no inconsiderable dimensions anil aotiiri
culiim of unusual scoie, and the man who
elllciently sustains a general suH'rvIlou of
Its workers and its work has a task of unus
ual proportions, though he attemps nothing
UUI III Ull Hllis, IHUIIIill III-- UIK-UIIF" liwtlllll, .

strnteil his capacity to do it, and to do it not
only elllciently but easily .So easily that his
progressive and expensive mind can keep a
convenient commanding Ji-tance in advance
.v ....I..... tl. (...it.li mill I. in. I It iiiiLiiiiil mill I
upwa.d to the maguillceut possibilities or
which there is every pi omlse now oneiiluig.
All his work is done systematically In hoilis
set apart for li, and his daily routine is sent
pulou.ly observed with such admirable I'll'oct
that the chancellor always has time to meet
every demand outside of the loutine work
which may promise anything in the way of
advantage to the unlveislty. In spite of llio
great ipmntity of close attention ilemaiided
by his duties within the university's closer
circles, he tlnds time to go out among the
people to deliver an addiess hete and there
out III the state, wheiever there Is a possi
bility or extending the fame ot Nebumka's
chief educational Institution, and his goal
olllces in that direction have been fitiiiently
utilized at state or national gatheiiugs heie
in Lincoln, ills tulks me always interest
ing, sensible and courteous, in fact he is al
ways in apparent good humor wherever he
may be encountered, and ho ueer lulls to
impress one with the conviction that he is the
representative of a great institution. He
has started out, as ho has fieipieutly said,
upon a platform with but a single plank in it
"One thousand students at tl.e Stuto Unl
erslty next yeai" and if hu do not fultlll
the piomise In that platfoim it will be no
fault or his own The chances are that he
will do it. He ciinii rehellds In advance Its
widening Held ol mefulness. and commands
the esteem and iill'ectlon ot his co-woikers
uml the pupils.
He is an ideal master and
his name in unlveislty click's is an insplru
tlnn. It would be dilllcult to comprehend
what a few y ems of his leadeishlp would do
for the univeitlty In the way of develo
nieiit. The annual lepoi t of the city libi ary board
just Mini with the cltv cleik, points out a
condition of iill'.ilis that strongly appeals lo
the eiillghtf ntd people ir Lincoln foi its inoriv
lihernl niiiluiniesi'lislbiesuppoit. W hllethe
libiary has never been palronled as one
would naturally have siippo.ed It would be,
still each year shows a healthy iuciease In Its
lists of patrons, people to whom this institu
tion has become almost as necessary mi
article or dully diet as their bread ami but
ter. As Lincoln is mi educational center,
her people are reuders of current liteiatuie,
still theieaiea grout many people in the city
who have never ioulld thai an Institution
exist ei I in their midst designed 1 1 supply them
with staple and standard rending uli-oliitely
free of cost. It would materially lucieae
the patronage of the libiarv weie some J mil
clous stcjis taken lo bring that fact betoionll
of the people, to Induce them to visit the
rendlim rooms mid to a-siiie them ot u we
come In u word, to make them understand
thai it Is a public institution, the InMieUlN ot
which llio till) piivileges ot nil ot thein, with
out uioiiuy uml without puce. Timidity Is
inoropiedoiuliiant than is generally ie ill -d
and there Is not the slightest doubt that tlieie

would become i egular p.ilmus of tht iiee
