GENERAL REVIEW
Present Condition of Tho Daily Nebraskan
and Review of tho Yoar.
ProBpeota for the
Future.
In another place in this issue is an
nnnouncement of the financial situa
tion of the Daily Nebraskan as shown
by the books of the Hesperian Pub
lishing company, publishers of the pa
per. The balance shown by this state
ment is $220.04, which represents the
earnings of the paper this year, pro
vided collections of accounts now on
the books are made as they may rea
sonably be expected to be.
In this connection it may be well to
make a brief statement of the affairs
of tho paper at the close of its first
year. Some time ago It was found
that owing to poor collections and a
lack of proper support on the part of
the business of the town, it was advis
able to discontinue the publication of
the paper every day and put it out but
three times a week. This was done
in orddr to prevent the piling up of
bills, which could not be readily met
at the close of the year. This ex
pedient was intended to be temporary
and the publication of a daily paper
will be resumed at the opening of the
next school year.
With the ice broken it is thought
that the daily will have little diffi
culty hereafter. If proper student sup
port Is given it there is no reason
why Nebraska Bhould not.have a good
daily paper. This support should be
both financial and in the shape of aid
in the gathering of news. While the
paper has had a better subscription list
than any of its predecessors, it has
not been as large as it should have
been. There has been a tendency
among a large class of students to
evade the payment of subscription
bills after receiving the paper for the
larger part of the year. Several hun
dred dollars have been lost in this
way.
y The support of many advertisers
which was withheld during the early
part of the year has been given dur
ing the last few months. The support
that Is usually given college publica
tions in the way of subscriptions and
advertising has not been given the pa
per beyond a possible $40 for subscrip
tions. The daily paper at Wlscon?
sin receives for the same numboof
1 subscriptions from the university
The difficulty or maintaining-
here is thus apparent. '
The paper will start out next y
with prospects good ior a succojbm;
year. With proper student support
there is no doubt but Nebraska can
get out a paper which Will c6mpa're
favorably with that of any institution
in the west. Students who vrlll.be in
school next, year and who desire to go
Qn the staff of the Nebraskan, should
consult one of the members of the staff
at once.

CHANCELLOR ANDREWS TO RE
MAIN. The chancellor's announcement Sat
urday morning that he would stand
by the University of Nebraska "for a
number ot years" has quieted a general
fear which every student had that he
would accept the offer made to him by
Wisconsin. That the move takxm by
the chancellor was due largely to the
feeling among the Btudents and pro
fessors as shown at the recent mass
meeting, is seen by the paragraph of
the chancellor's announcement which
says: "The many kindly expressions
which have recently reached me from
students, colleagues, regents and neigh
bors touch and influence me and are
profoundly appreciated."
The announcement was received with
Joy by every student, for it was gen
erally believed that Chancellor An
drews would leave. Not that this con
clusion was based upon any statement
made by the chancellor, but because of
the numerous rumors which continued
to float about the campus. At one
time during the latter part of the week
it was reported that the regents of
the University of Wisconsin had met
and elected Dr. Andrews, and that in
all probability he would go. The an
nouncement of the chancellor was
therefore received with considerable
wormth, not only by the students and
faculty, but by the citizens of Lincoln.
To show their appreciation of the
chancellor's action the students will
hold a demonstration this evening on
the university campus.
The public statement made by Chan
cellor Andrews is as follows:
1. Save upon intimation that the
regents wish it, or upon the failure
of my health, or that of those near
me, it is not my Intention to quit the
service of the Nebraska university for
a number of years.
2. The considerations which have
led me to fear of late that such a
change might possibly be imminent
have not been salary or position, as
many seem to suppose, but others of
a purely personal and domestic na
ture. 3. The many kindly expressions
which have recently reached me from
students, colleagues, regents and neigh
bors touch and influence me, and are
profoundly appreciated. Yours,
E. BENJ. ANDREWS.

THE FINAL TRIUMPH
Baseball Season Closes With Viotory.
Eoviow of tho Year's Work.
A Winning Team for
Next Year.
Nebraska closed the most successful
baseball Beason In the history of tho
university, by defeating the famed
Havelock team on the home grounds
last Friday by a score of 11 to 3. Fully
two thousand people attended the
game, Havelock sending one-half the
number. It is a part worthy of regret
that the varsity received Its support
from town people, rather than from
a university representation.
The Havelock aggregation Is made
up of part professional players, and
although they were clearly outclassed
by the varsity, the game was one of
the most exciting of the season. In
the first inning, Rhodes and Town
send won the plaudits of the multitude
by knocking two home runB after the
second out had been made, and Btartcd
the excitement by placing the Bcoro
4-0 at the end of the inning. Letheby
did his usual good work in the box,
and Bender played his customary swift
game behind tho bat.
Under tho direction of Captain Bell,
Nebraska has developed a phenomenal
team, the champions of Kansas, Iowa,
Missouri and Minnesota. With excel
lent judgment in the selection and
placing of his men, Mr. Bell has made
a notable record for himself and team,
and his work Is deserving of the high
est praise. In the quality of his ma
terial ho has been most fortunate,
nhodes, Bender, Gaines, Letheby,
Townsend, Raymond, Hood, DePutron,
Doane and Cortelyou, tried and trust
ed men all have, by the excellence and
efficiency of their work aided their
captain in making the team what It is.
Under tho control of Manager Shid
ler, the financial Interests of the team
have been unusually well looked after,
and most successful arrangements were
perfected in tho making out of a sched
ule. The members of the team have
all been supplied with new suits, and
permanent improvements have been
made on the athletic field. The follow
ing is a list of the college games
played:
Nebraska 18, Wesleyan 1; Nebraska
jlJ, Nebraska Indians 5; Nebraska 0,
Cedar Rapids 0; Nebraska 5, Decorah
0; Nebraska 4, Minnesota 3; Nebraska

The prospects for baseball In the
University of Nebraska is unusually
bright for next year. Most of the old
players will be back, besides many
new ones who have announced their
Intention of coming to Nebraska.
At tho last meeting of tho athletic
board Murray E. Townsend was elect
ed captain and Clark Bell manager.
Townsend needs no Introduction to
baseball enthusiasts. For two years
a member of the varsity team ho has
played a winning game, and has an
enviable record. Under his control wo
may expect great things from tho team
next year. Mr. Bell was assistant man
ager of the team this year, and will no
doubt make an able and efficient man
ager. With the record made by tho
team this year, there Is a great oppor
tunity to further still more tho inter
ests of the university, and Mr. Bell may
bo relied upon to do his part.
BATTALION RETURNS.
Foot-Bore, weary and sunburned, the
cadets arrived at the Armory after a
forty minutes' run, and tho cadets were
glad to get back, notwithstanding tho
fact that they have had a good time
and have had plenty of work to keep
them healthy. In fact this Is one of
the most severe and in all respects,
one of tho most instructive and pleas
ant camps held for somo years.
Captain Smoke does not waste any
words In his praise of tho behavior
of the men, and compliments them
highly on their general deportment
and general manly bearing. He has
won tho deep respect of every cadet,
and remarks about his leaving the uni
versity are frowned down. This year ho
offered five medals, one gold and four
silver for tho best drilled men in tho
battalion, and those best drilled In tho
companies. Corporal Kanzler took tho
gold medal, and Sergeants Brown and
Walton, Corporal Beers and Private
Polland won silver medals.
Two sham battles were held during
camp, one Saturday afternoon and the
other at midnight. Tho sun made it
pretty warm for the soldiers, but they
went ahead and had their excitement.
In the afternoon Company B was tho
attacking party, and won by strategy
and a misunderstanding of commands.
At night the attacking party was
changed and Comnanv 0. hnri tho hon
or of capturing the camp. In theaft-i

the leg with a bayonet At night therji1
were no casualties. A dance wan cUrnrti
