Resolutions to the Eegonts are Adopted. -One of the largest meetings which ever assembled in Memorial hall was held Wcdnes-day morning by the stu dents for the purpose of taking somei action over the report that there was a possibility of Chancellor Andrews going to Wisconsin. The hall was crowded to Its full capacity and the students cheered enthusiastically for the chancellor. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Bracelen, who asked W. F. Meier to state the object of the meeting. Mr. Meier in well chosen words told of the report that the chancellor had received a call from the University of Wiscon sin and that in view of the fact that the salary offered was so much greater than that now received by the chan cellor and that the position offered was a very desirable one, it was best for the students to take some action in the form of resolutions. The chairman then called upon a number of the prominent ( lassmen who responded with short talks. The first speaker was R. W. Harbor of the senior class, who dwelt on the personal relations of the class with the chan cellor and spoke of the severe loss which this Institution would sustain were the chancellor to leave. The con dition here, he said, would doubtless be something like that at Brown after the resignation of Dr. Andrews from the presidency of that Institution. The very spirit of the institution was, for a time, broken down as well as a fur ther loss of valuable Instructors. B. G. Lewis of the freshman class followed out the same thought, em phasizing the national greatness of Chancellor Andrews. President Black of the Junior class spoke very earnest ly on behalf of the juniors for the re tention of the chancellor. The univer sity could not afford to lose him at this time. George A. Lee then dwelt on the democratic spirit of the chan cellor, who was never found missing at any university function, whether it was a football game or an interstate de bate. S. C. Hawthorne then gave one of his short talks which have of late won for him the reputation as being one of the most entertaining speakers In the university. He filled the audience with enthusiasm for the chancellor and a determination to do all In Its power to have the chancellor remain. On behalf of the student body, Charles P. Graft offered the following resolutions- which were unanimously adopted: "The students of the university of Nebraska In mass meeting assembled: "Whereas, The students of the uni versity of Nebraska have learned that Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews has again been called to the presidency of the University of Wisconsin (this time at a salary of $10,000); "Whereas, Because we feel the great intellectual and moral stimulus which has uniquely characterized the leader ship of Dr. Andrews among American educators, the stimulus that has not only given us higher ideals of scholar ship, but, more important than that, made us better men and women; be cause, in these two years he has won not only our commanding respect, but nlso our devotion ; .because we feel that for him to leave Nebraska would, to the university and to the state, be a distinct misfortune; therefore, be it, "Resolved, That, because the vigor ous leadership of Chancellor Andrews has every promise of placing the Uni versity of Nebraska above all other universities of the Mississippi valley we respectfully and urgently petition the board of regents to do all in their power to induce our chancellor to re main. "Resolved, That we, individually and collectively pledge Chancellor An drews our loyal support, and further more pledge ourselves to use every effort, during the coming vacation, to arouse the citizens of Nebraska to a realization of what they owe our uni versity financially, and what they owe qur chancellor in moral support." A number of the faculty members were then called upon, notwithstand ing the fact that the meeting was one principally of students. Professors Bessey, Fling, Caldwell, FoBsler, Ward and Davis all spoke very highly of the chancellor, emphasizing what had been said by the student speakers. The sug gestion by Professor Fling that the students make up the difference in the salary paid here and in Wisconsin until the legislature could meet met with general approval. A number of the professors offered to contribute a part of their salaries to help make up this difference. The resolutions which were passed are being signed by all the stu dents of the university and It Is ex pected that by tonight the rolls will have practically the signatures of all the students In the university. Yesterday was governor's day, Gov ernor Savage and Adjutant General Colby inspecting the camp. They were met at the train by the cadets who served as escort. The state officials dined with the officers of the battalion. The battalion then formed for dress parade and Inspection. Today will be the big day at camp, when a large dele gation is expected from Lincoln, to visit the boys. A band concert will be given this evening. The people of Seward will also give a theatrical per formance at the grounds this evening. Tomorrow night there will be given a dance in honor of the cadets. DRAKE DEFEATED Visitors Vanquished by the Invinoiblo Bellites. An Exoiting, Yot Not Errorless Gamo. Drake met her Waterloo on Nebras ka field yesterday afternoon. The game was hardly all that could be ex pected from the team, but the victory was easy after all. Drake started out by making two scores on one hit in the first inning, but the pace was too swift for them, and there was nothing more doing until the fifth, when a suc cession of safe hits and a ball dropped in center field credited them with three more. The final score was made In the ninth, when Ralson, the diminutive catcher, crossed the home plate with full steam on. The cornhuBkers did their work in the second Inning, starting "Twister" to first as the result of an attempted asBasBlnation by Owsley, and Town send followed with a pretty one out In the tall grass that was good for three bases and allowed Bender to score. -Townsend remained on third while De Putron and Raymond fanned, but came in on a single by Doane, who also scored later In the game, as a result of safe hits by Hood and Bell. "Dusty" walked to first and gave an exhibition of scientific sliding in get ting to second and third, and came home because of the Inability of the flrBt baseman to hold the ball. Gaines went to first on an error, and Bender up to bat the second time, made the third out, on a fly to right field. Town send and De Putron scored In the third, Bell In the fourth, and Doane In the sixth, and then the team took a nap during the rest of the game. Town send, Doane and Bell did good work at the bat, and are credited with two scores apiece. Owsley, the Iowa pitch er, did the work for Drake and was unusually successful in his hitting. Both teams can do better work, and the spectators were disappointed in the quality of ball put up. The Have lock game today will require much better playing. Line-up: Nebraska. Drake.
