That building is all that remains physically oi old Cotner College, once a vigor ous force in the higher education of Nebraska's youth. Originally called Christian University, Cotner was founded by the Cnristian Church in Ne braska for the purpose of en abling its young people to re ceive a hisrher education in sur roundings "of a distinctively moral and religious nature." Bethany, the community in which the college was located, grew up around the institution and was developed by many of the same men who were behind the college. When the college first opened its doors, in September, 1888, to the 30 young people seeking ad- i completed Hence, classes were I held for a while in one of the residences Duut m uemany Dy the trustees. Like all other Nebraska col leges, Cotner faced an almost overwhelming struggle for ex istence during the early years. It was able to avert a serious financial crisis in 1890 only by a generous gift of land from Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Cotner. In rec ognition of this, the name was changed from Christian to Cot ner University. The early curriculum was built around the study of the Bible, and very early in Cotner's history, J. Z. Briscoe, a brother-in-law of Samuel Cotner, en dowed a chair of Bible study. During the depression of the 1890's, however, the endowment invested in Bethany town lots was lost. This did not diminish Bible study at the institution though. It was carried forward under the personal direction of Rev. Wr. P. Aylesworth. the sec ond president. Cotner developed a w e 1 1 rounded curriculum and a full program of extra-curricular ac tivities. At times, its athletic teams were the best in the state. Desnite this, and the fact that it turned out many graduates L,QtioH tn nimr riisiintruished ncitirtna iT, lafpr ufp cotner . t,qki0 t was unable to weather the heavy financial seas through which it AAA uvu had to sail, and in 1933 the line old institution closed its doors.

Despite a valiant rally in the second half, the Plattsmouth cagers dropped a 53-45 game to Wahoo in the semi-finals of the East Nebraska Seven conference cage tournament at Lincoln. Caught with their offense down and their defense show ing, the Blue Devils watched Wahoo build an early lead to be out m front 21-d at the end ot the initial period. From there on. the two teams battled on fairly even terms with Flatts mouth holding a slight statisti cal edge. The Blue Devils began to close in on Jim Sandstedt's Wa hoo casers in the second auar- I ter to leave the floor at inter- Y mission trailing 18-31. Big Ray Koubec and Stan Cole sparked second half play for the Blue Devils as they be gan to close the gap. Platts mouth trailed 41-31 going into the final period. And for a time, it looked as thouah Stewart's gane: might pull a repeat performance and come irom tar behind to take the win. Plattsmouth closed the can to five points mid-wav through the final period and at one time trailed on 47-43. before Wahoo apnlied the brakes and broke away. But once aeain it was Ray Koubec who led the way. In ad dition to basein? 20 noints. 10 via the free throw line. Koubec worked well under the baskets.

THE PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL Monday, January 29. 1951 PAGE FIVI' Life Insurance Volume Increases Life insurance ownership throughout the world had the greatest volume increase of its history during the past decade, but a large part of this gain has been offset by the rise in living cost the mature of Life In-; surance reports. In the united Rtntp- S(,prpg;,t.P life insurance riTI.r,ri' hn? nenriv rinnbleri in the decade and in most of the other countries for which figures are available the rise has been even greater percentagewise. "The increase ownership of life insurance has seemed to be inspired not only by a desire .o build greater basic family se curity, but also to offset as much i as possible the effects of in- nauon ana curitucy icvaiua tions." the Institute commented. '"In some countries, the increase is primarily the result of buying to meet sharp devaluation of currencies, but in many cases, the rise in ownership has been materially higher than the net increase in cost of living."
