THREE CENTS
t
PAY HIGH TRIBUTE
Students, in Mass Mooting, Laud Chan
cellor AndrowB. 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:
