Convocation Announcements
Following Is convocation program
for the week:
Wednesday- Professor Barbour.
Thursday- Shcdd benefit meeting.
Friday Musicale.
The state legislature convened for
the first time yesterday, and will have
things to do during the coming session
which will be of immense interest to
the student body. The normal school
and university questions will come up
prominently before the Nebraska leg
islators this fall, inasmuch as there is
a demand for improvements and ex
penditures along both lines, and with
the problem of finances taking prece
dent. The university will have to come In
for an appropriation this year larger
than for several years to provide for
all the demands which are made on an
institution of this size. The failure
two years ago in obtaining neressary
moneys set the university 'just two
years behind where It ought to be in
those departments upon which the ex
penditures would bae been the great
est. It would be a patriotic thing to do
for every student to make the needs
of the university known to any legis
lator he may know sufficiently well to'
approach On the subject.
Many or the state's representatives
come from parts of the state where
the university is little known and
where the value of building up and
strengthening such an Institution is
little realized. To these we can best
addreBS ourselves.
Bruner at Convocation
Convocation period was occupied yes
terday by Profeaaor Bruner, who gave
a short but Interesting talk on "Instinct
and Reason. "
He Bald that every animal and Insect
was endowed by nature with a certain
instinct peculiar to itself and adapted
for It b needs Man, does not pobbcbb
this instinct, but Is endowed instead
with reason, and he has been given an
amount Bufilcient for bis needs. He,
unlike tho animals, finds out nothing
by instinct, but must make all his dis
coveries by reason
Mr. Bruner thinks that instinct Ib
something that does not admit of much
education, while reason must certainly
does. He said he regretted the fact
that man was not gifted with iuBtlnct,
also, in which case he would not need
to continue to work out difficult prob
lems. Professor Bruner advised anyone
wanting a side topic to work up and
think upon during their leisure mo
ments should take this one, as there Is
great need of research along this line.
A meeting of the Nebraska section of
tne American chemical society was held
at the state farm Friday, December 19.
Mr. Nelson, state analyst, read an in
teresting paper on the adulteration of
extracts. Dr. Avery, chemist of the
state experiment station gave a com
prehensive review of original work on
the poisonous qualities of Kaffir corn.
He succeeded in determining the poi
sonous products, thus settling once for
all a matter ttiat has caused much con
troversy, as it was a popular belief that
Kaffir corn possessed no poisonous
qualities. Many cattle were lost last
summer through its agcn y, and the re
sults of Mr. Avery's findings will prove
valuable to the farmers of Nebraska.
Dr. Clements and wife, who have
been east for over a month, have returned.
