ommittal regarding the outcome but
expect to show tho Nebraska boys a
repetition of last yeai's out est
On tho other hand, the Nebraska
team is eonfindent ol its success, but
expects to win only after a seientifi and
hard fought out est.
Everything is in readiness I'oi the
debate. Chancellor Andrews who has
been in the east, returns today in time
to preside at the exercises The Ohan
1 ellor has taken much inteiest in these
mtei-stale contests oT debating and the

a satisfue tory agreement 1
The third judge for tins re ipiocity '
debate was determined yesterday.
From the list of six Nebraska original
lv submitted, Kansas selected Judge
W C Hastings (University ol Chi
cago) of Wilber. and the Hon W I)
Mcllugh (Cornell University) of Oma
ha, lormerly judge ol the United States
district eouit Mr Mcllugh at first
said he could not come to Lincoln
April 2f. whoieupon Kansas selected
Judge T. L Norval of .eward The
day they chose him and he was noti
lleld that both"iuiiversities were agreed j
upon him. Mr. Mcllugh informed the
debating board that ho would after all j
be able to come and would do so In
the meantime Kansas, not duly in
formed as to the capable material, sub
mitted to Nebraska the names of two
gentlemen engaged in educational work
in Nebraska, but neither or them knw
anything in parti ular about reciproci
ty, the tariff question and neither of
them was particularly qualified to
judge debating. These tacts the de
bating board frankly placed befoie
Secretary McMath. of the ivimsas team,
when he arrived Wednesday night The
(.abating board assisted nini yesterday
in Retting evidence here and in Omaha
that Mr. McHugh and Judge Norval
would judge the arguments without
bias As tho result Mr McMath said
he was convinced that Nebraska's deal
ings were perfectly fair in every re
sped nnd he agreed that either Mr.
McHugh or Judge Norval would be
more competent and reliable than the
gentleman the Kansas association had
proposed
With all tho arrangements so satis
factorily completed, the university peo
ple may look for a good debate. All
that is lacking is college enthusiasm
to insure a crowded house Tho muss
meeting Thursday morning was not en
tirely satisfactory ie attendance
was small but did not lack in enthu
siasm Prof Fling and Librarian
Wyer did the talking. Both wore
strong in their appeal tor student en
thusiasm Mi Weir was glad to see
so many faculty members present (all
but three of the front row seats wore
empty) !)r Fling talked to tho
"othei" (leininine) side of the house
and urged the voung ladies to show
their independence and attend the de

fested in track athletics as shown by
the many candidates who have turned

The university has made special ef
forts to bring out men, as no doubt our

, material failed to turn out The inter
collegiate meet will tn"ko place on May

PROFFSSOR BRUNFR AT CON
VOCATION. Last Wednesday al convocation. Pro
fessor Brunei- gave a very interesting
and Instructive lecture on his recent
Hip to Cent nil America A large num
ber of exceedingly beautiful specimens
of birds, animals and nests were ex
hibited, which showed that the profes
sor had been well repaid for his work.
The difficulties under which the
naturalist must labor while in that
country wore well pictured. The for
est growths are so thick and the small
er plant life so abundant that persons
desiring to explore the country must
constantly use a knife with which to
cut their way.
Every form of plant life, said Pro
fessor Brunei-, is JJled with Insects or
various kinds. There are 770 different
species of birds to lie found In Costa
UIca and Ct5 different kinds of humming
birds alone. The different kinds of
botanical specimens are equally numer
ous, representing those which grow in
the South American countries and
those which grow in North America.
The speaker's story of the nativity of
the different species of birds was vory
interesting
