DANN SAYS STUDY ART. Makes Plea for College Courses in Neglected Subject. Professor Dann, of the ancient lan guages department, contributed a very Interesting article to the Monday morning Journal on "Art Education." "It has been alleged that the spirit of democracy Is Indifferent to the highest form of culture," says Profos sor Dann; "that art In particular can not thrive save where tho wealthy and leisured classes are segregated from the general mass, and have established standards of taBte which the average man can neither reach nor appreciate; and that especially among a people like ourselves, bent on material ad vancement, glorying In our strong practical character, thinking always of the actual, the visible, the palpable, there Is little place for the spiritual, small love for the beautiful, faint con ception of the ideal. But aa genius belongs exclusively to no one class so culture need not bo the peculiar pos session of the rich and idle. As reasons why some knowledge of art Is a desirable element In the educa tion of the individual, and why a sys tematic study of art and art-history should have a well-defined place in the curricula of our universities and col leges, I will mention but three: "First The study and practice of art is a powerful aid in cultivating the perceptive powers. "Second Intelligent study of art contributes greatly to tho clear under standing of some other branches of knowledge. "Third That it affords a kind of counterpoise to the scientific side of education which now almost exclu sively prevails. Especially In our col leges, where everything that Is good and "true and beautiful should be fos tered and encouraged, it seems particu larly appropriate that a high and en nobling art should find a congenial home; that our students should there Imbibe a love for beauty that should be an active and efficient leaven In their future Intercourse with men and women who have boen less favored." FROM ALASKA. W. T. Home Discusses Alaska Before Botanical Seminar. The botanical seminar met Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock In room 102, Nebraska hall. The program consist ed of two papers of a very interesting character. The first part of the hour was taken up by a discussion of "Va riations in Chamaenerium Augustl follum," by Mrs. Edith Clements; the second part was devoted to a paper by W. T. Home on "Vegetation of Kadiak Island, Alaska." Mr. Home has Just returned from the island of Kadiak, which lies Immediately down the coast from Cook's Inlet, and has brought back with him a large variety of speci mens of vegetation from that region. His talk waB so interesting that ho was given an hour on the next seminar program in which to completo his discussion. Convocation Dotes Program for the Week: Chaplain for tho week, Rev. F. W. Eason.

Sunday Journal: The Young Peo ple's Missionary Society of the Chris tian churoh met Friday evening at the homo of Mr. and Mrs. T. F. A. Williams, Twenty-sixth and It streets. An unusually large number of young people were preeent to hear Professor Caldwell of the State University dis cuss the negro problem. The talk by Professor Caldwell was a clear and highly Interesting discussion of this important question. He commented on the existing race antipathy between the black and white and said the prob lem could not be solved by amalgama tion, separation or by extirpation, but by developing the possibilities of tho negro through industrial and intel lectual education. Professor Caldwell 1b much interested In the problem. He believes that the negro has possibili ties, and that the white must live side by side with him and by exercis ing his altruistic tendencies gradually lift the negro to a level that will make him a factor In civilization. The talk was much appreciated by the society. Professor BesBey Is giving his class in plant pathology the results of his attempt at making a classification of plant diseases. ThiB is one of the puz zling problems In this department of Botany, and the professor has at tempted to do something towards Its solution. $3.00 commutation ticket for $2.70 at the Merchants' Cafe, 117 No. 13th St. Students are cordially Invited.

Luther P. Ludden addressed the students at convocation yesterday on "It." His remarks were In part as follows: I stood down at the corner of 11th and O Btreot8 tho other day, watching the people as ihey thronged by. Mov ing quickly among the crowd was a group of University students, with their wonted push and hurry; and as thoy crowded past with the same de termined air, some one standing near me said: "Look at them go. Don't they Juat think they are it." And that which was said in derision is in reality a fact, for tho bright, active, pushing students of this university are "it." Vory few people seem to realize that these yars of peaceful and abundant prosperity, in which our contipent 1b making such rapid strides forward, are in reality tho pivotal times upon which the nation's future will turn, and you will be the men and women who will have hold of the great helm as It turns out the destinies of man kind. And I say of you aa we iiBed to say in the old game of tag, "you aro It." Under the mighty whip and spur of electricity and steam the pos sibilities of the future are tremendous. Ten years of time when you are "it" will be equal to and surpass fifty years of timo when your grandfathers were "It." Again the university is "It," not only In athletics, but in the high standard maintained in scholarship and equip ment, and the island taken among the great institutions of learning in our land. Then again, Nebraska is "it." I am not going to enlarge upon this thought. I simply Bay in passing, that I do not believe that we fully appreciate our great empire of a state that homes us, that protects ub, that educates us; and I doubt whether, when we have pondered upon its magnitude we will have a full "realizing sense" of It, or understand fully what is meant when some one says: "Yea, Nebraska is H.' " But again, the United States Is "it." It was Gladstone who said In his "Kin Beyond the Sea: "Tho United States is a natural base for the greatest con tinuous empire established by man. She will probably become what we are now, tho head Bervant In the great household of the world, the employer of the employed, because her Bervlce will bo the the most and the ablest." But we are "it" by comparison in some things that I do not like. The United States is "it" In her combinations. Good whiskey makes men bad, but bad men make good whiskey. Wo have a congress of 400 men to make laws and a supreme court of nine to set them aside. A girl that goes wrong is marked as an outcast and her male partner goes on as a gentleman. Men vote for a thing one day and then spend 364 days cursing it. With you, then, rests a part of the possibility of changing much of this, for you are "It." When Napoleon drew up his troops under the shadow of the pyramids, pointing to the latter he said to his soldiers: "Remember that from yonder heights forty centur ies look down upon you." From the great pyramid top of opportunity we look down on forty centuries, with power to help mould the destiny of unborn millions. Yet we occupy the Gibraltar of the ajjes, for we are "it" and we command the world's future. y4r4fr4 jl California jj II lifHffl i The Municipal League of the city is circulating membership cards among he members of the faculty and the resident voting students.
