and noise particularly characteristic
of the law classes, the senior laws

no one gets a place without showing
good roason for hh aspiration and
then putting up a light for it.

which appeared some tlmo ngo In ono
of tho Phlladelpla papers, has Just

up out of tho whiilo cloth, as a good
many such stories aro in our papers,
but 1 think'.l can exnlaln Its origin,
ftomo time ago I received a letter
from Mr. Booth, your director of ath
letics, in regard to tho'awardlrig of
our Varsity letter. Somo collego
newspaper reporter, probably seeing
tho letter lying In tho box, wlth"DI
rector of Athletics. University of Ne
braska'' on tho envelope, mado up
from this slight foundation tho story
to which you refer.
I nm sorry ir a rumor that you wish
ed to play Pennsylvania has caused
you any annoyance, but wo dannot bo
responsible for the news which our
papers seo lit to print. I assure you
that tho story had no other source
than that which I have mentioned."

tho Instructor in chargo would take
somo stops to ascertain the identity
of the student who recently sent hira
an anonymous note offering Bomo free
advice as to the best method of con
ducting a class. However nothing
