ON ATHLETIC FINANCES
vCtrrected Report of Treasurer
lip to the End if Football
Season Surplus
On Hand.
VarlouB reporta concerning the
financial condition of the Athletic as
aociatlon are current. Most of these
are mild speculations, however, and
ought not to bo allowed to float about,
because they deceive the public and
glvo to business men with whom the
association has to deal, a wrong Im
pression of actual conditions. Th,e
following is a correct report of receipts
and expenditures for the football sea
son of 1902:
Total expenditures $13,413.29
Total receipts $13,205.88
The Memorabilia
Tho memorabilia book, which was
published last year by tho College Set
tlement board Is still on sale at the
various bobkstores In the city. It is
a very attractive book, used for mount
ing photographs and other like mate
rial. There are now only a few left,
and their sale Is being pushed. Thoy
make a very neat university souvenir
THE (RATING WORLD
Expenditures over receipts. $ 207.41
The amount on hand which includes
last year's balanco, is $2,219.0G.
While tho total expenditures exceed
the total receipts by $207.41, it will be
noticed below that permanent Improve
ments to tho amount of $2,053.49 were
made on the campus.
The following is a detailed account
of expenditures for tho season:
J Transportation and hotel ex-
penBca , $1,180.53
Equipment and supplies 1,129.01
"Porcentums to other teamB... 4,015.37

'S Additions" to grandstand and
bleachers 2,053.49

t Miscellaneous, including pollc-
fi ing, printing. Insurance, etc
The Literary Women
The Inlander, a monthly published
at tho University of Michigan, says
that women's colleges put out far bet
ter literary periodicals than do men's
colleges. Tho best college magazines,
says the Inlander's editor, are pub
lished at Vassar, Wellesley, Smith Col
lege and Holyoke. He does not ven
ture to assign any cause for such a
Btate of afTalrs. A possible explana
tion Is that a very large per cent of
women turn their attention to literary
work whjle in school, and among tho
men there are comparatively few who
are attracted In that direction. In a
student body that has so large a liter
ary element as In the average woman's
college, it is natural to suppose that
a better magazine can be produced than
in a college where there Is less mate
rial from which to select.

American History Notes
Tho American hiBtory shelves have
Just been supplemented with some new
books on subjects of Interest to tho
general reader as well as the students
of tho department. Wm. Garrott
Brown's "The Lower South," will at
tract anyone whose spiirt if inquiry
was aroused by Booker Washington's
address last commencement. Black
man's "Life of Governor Robinson,"
(tho first governor of Kansas), deals
with a period In which students, of Ne
braska history are much interested.
Hosnier's "Louisiana Purchase," and
"Short History of the Mississippi Val
ley"""add very materially to the scant
literature upon the still absorbing
question of expansion, and McClay'e
"American Privateers," will probably
find many readers besides those who
recall on tho author's part in the
Sampson-Schley controversy.
The ninth Harvard-Princeton debate
which took place at Princeton Friday
night, was won by Princeton. The
first seven debates all went to Har
vard, but Princeton won last yenr.
Her second successive victory has
stirred greater enthusiasm at "Old Nas
sau," whose English department un
til recently trained orators rather than
debaters. There are many large prizes
offered for excellence in oratory. Har
vard s aereats are thought to he ex
plained In part by the absence In Eu
rope last year of Professor George P.
Baker, who established Harvard's su
premacy in debate, and who is tho
main-stay adviser as to tho coaching.
At the recent debate Harvard had the
negative of "Resolved, That whonever
in the event of continued domestic vio
lence, lives and property are not ade
quately protected, it is for the public
good that the president should have
the power to afford protection without
the application of the state for federal
aid"
The annual Cornell-Pennsylvania
debate, held on December 12, at Ithlca,
went to Pennsylvania, who supported
the negative of "Resolved, That the
present tariff on raw materials and
rough products of iron and steel, such
as pig, Iron, bar Iron, rails, and steel
ingots, is Justified on the ground of
protection of American industry
against foreign competition "
nebraska Forests.
At the open meeting of the botanical
sominar, held Saturday In tho botany
lectures room, Professor Bcssey read a
paper on "The Causes which have Con
tributed to the present condition of
Nebraska Forests."
Professor BesBey thinks that tho
small amount of rainfall on the plains
has prevented the advance of certain
species of trees from the southeastern
and western forests. The humidity Of
the soil has also been a factor In check
ing the spread of certain tonder leafed
trees, while the severity of the win
ter's cold and the Bummer's heat of
the plains have excluded other species.
The free sweep of the dry wlndH near
the surface of the ground has doubtless
destroyed certain soft-leafed trees.
While in many parts the soil Is ap
parent adapted to sustain a vigorous
forest growth. Fires swept over the
plains and prevented the spread of
forests beyond the valleys bordering
the BtreamB. Where Biich fires no long
or occur the margins of tho forests are
pushing out upon the open land.
Besides these opposing forces tho
forest have had to contend with a thick
sod which seriously affected their
spreading until the sod was broken up
and the trees were allowed to gain a
foothold Professor Beesey claims that
although there are no marked results
from tho pressure of parlsltlc fungi,
forest trees are not without thoir ene
mies. Domestic animals are the great
hindrance In the way of extending our
forests, because they keep the young
trees, eaten down or stripped of their
leaves.

The American history department Is
Interested in a new movement now be
coming evident in the writing of Amer
ican history, and tending toward the
condensation of several large volumes
of matter into one of two volume
works. The latest product of this
movement Is the one volume "Struggle .
for a Continent" Into which Pellram
Edgar, of Toronto University, con
denses the eleven volumes in Yhich
Francis Parkham deals with that sub
ject. Woodrow Wilson's new "History
of the American People" is another
step in tills direction, and both will
probably prove a great relief to those
students of the department who have
heretofore had to faco the rather dis
couraging prospect of five or ten vol
umes of Bancroft or Parkman.
Columbia and Pennsylvania have
broken off their debate relations, be
cause they were unable to agree on
a method of selecting Judges. Colum
bia stood out for tho appointment of
a permanent board of judges from
which three should be chosen for each
debate. ThlB 1b the method advocated
last summer in the public prints by Mr.
Rlngwalt, of the Harvard law school,
Columbia's Instructor In v debate, a
method which did not find general
favor among col lego toachers Jn argu
mentation and debate. Columbia will
now meet Cornell instead of Princeton.
