Last Monday morning Chancellor Andrews gave a very Interesting talk at convocation on his recent islt to BASE BALL! THURSDAY AND FRIDAY 'Varsity vs. Kansas, UNIVERSITY CAMPUS, 3:30 1 M. New York and the inauguration of President Cutler of Columbia Univer sity. The chancellor gave an imita tion of President RooBevelt's address which was very well received by the students. The chancellor spoke of the reputation of Nebraska abroad for high and broad scholarship, which was praised by men of eastern Institutions. A very lvld description was given of the inaugural ceremonies. The parade on the first day of these ceremonies was one long to be remembered, the participants being clothed in remarka ble' gqwns and caps; and representing institutions of learning all over the country. Distinguished visitors from all parts of the country were present. Regarding the addresses, the chan cellor said that they were all good, but some of them were too long. The best one given, In the chancellor's opinion, was that of the president of the senior class, who had a good voice and a pleasing, address. The addresB of President Cutler was a strong one, aB was President Roosevelt's. Cheers were given for "Teddy" by the younger men and for Roosevelt by the middle aged men, while the older ones cheered heartily for the president. John J. Thomas, who has been a special Btudent in the course tri assay ing, is on his way to Baker City, Ore., where he will be engaged in mining interests. FOREST RESERVES Doan Bossey Bpeaka of their Value. Ne braska Prominent in the Move ment. --A Sohool of ForoBtry. Much credit Is due to the American and European history departments for their support in the Nebraska-Kansas debate. Every professor and every in structor of both departments was pres ent nt the debate. The play to be presented next Friday night by the College Settlement prom ises to draw out the largest crowd that has yet been attracted to any similar undertaking. Yet the students who have not already procured tickets should not feel that It is not their duty to do so. Not only will a first-class performance be given. but the proceeds will be used for a very laudable purpose. The professors and students have been laboring hard and deserve your help in the matter of buying tickets. Dean Cessey addressed the students assembled at convocation yesterday morning on the subject of "Forest Re serves," with special reference to the recent proclamation of President Roosevelt. Two theories are aihanced, said Dr. Cessey, in regard to the preservation of forests. First, that the government should take care of what has been left by the lumberman's and settler's axe; and. second, that the government should lay aside areas and plant new forests. The latter is what will be done in Nebraska. The principle will be observed that these forests are the property of the government and hence beyond destruction by private indi viduals. "Forests are not like corn-fields In that they can be cut down after a crop," said the speaker. "They should be treated so that they will last and grow old." There are already large reserves in the Clack Hills, Big Horn district, Yellowstone Park, near Pike's -Peak, and scattered throughout the west. The movement toward establishing forest lands was begun about fifteen years ago, with some of the ideas emanating from the university. The first sugges tion was that the state or townships should lay aside areas for reserves, but It was found unfeasible nnd the government wns turned to ns the prop er agent for carrying out this work. Dean Bessey. In connection with this enrly movement, spoke in high terms of the lately deceased Hon. J. Sterling Morton, who was a leader in UiIb en terprise nnd the orlglnntor of Arbor day. "Nebraska has reason to be proud of her honored citizen," continued the spenker, "and Nebraska may regret the departing of n great man." The Idea set forth by Mr. Morton was that the government should set aside areas for the planting of trees. In 1891 the first renl experiment In scientific forest growing was performed in the sand-hills. Several varieties of trees. Including pines, spruces and evergreens, were plnnted on the south side of the sandiest hill found In the sand-hills. No success was expected of the experiment. Those trees, however Ill-suited to me conditions, died out, leaving two kinds of pine, which today are flour ishing as well as any trees on the campus. They cover but a small area of ground, and the question has come up. If a few can live, cannot many do ine same, acting as protection for each other? Professor Cruner of the uni versity was connected with the experi ments. The results were made known In Washington, and the president bo enme Interested, with the result of the forest reserve proclamation. There nre two set apart now In Ne braska; one begins at the Loup river and crosses the state to the Dismal river In the west. This covers 80,240 ncres of land, which at the present time cannot be cultivated and is used merely as grazing land. The Becond reservation begins nt the Niobrara river, comprising an area of 126,240 acres. -The latter Is also put to the same purpose as the former. Of the two areas, not quite 2 per cent Is owned by prlvnte individuals. This land is sandy and dry on top. but moist underneath and supports trees while It will not Buffer good cul tivation. This land will then be made use of. The government will begin planting this summer, and the planta tions will grow. "Our children's chil dren will reap the benefit," said Dr. Bessey. "It is for the good of the fu ture generations ,and will onhanco the value of the state." With this coming change in the char acteristics of the state, pursued the speaker, the time is npe for the estab lishing in the university of a school 6f or a course in forestry. Yalo, Cornell and a school in the south have suoh schools, said Dr. Bessey, and with this change in our state the University of Nebraska should offer such a course. These other schopls are far away,whllo western people need one near them. The course, so offered qhould be com plete In every detail, urged Dean Bes sey, and will be the necessary outcome of the president's recent action. fl fii iV
