Charter Day.
Peoples and Institutions have days
tlfcy especially honor for their his
torical association and relation to their
Individual interests. For the Univer
sity of Nebraska It is reserved In her
splendid youth to enjoy honors such
as rarely crown othor than tho efforts
of age. This is the thirty-fourth an
niversary of her founding. The gen
eration that witnessed her birth is
still in its prime. It can Bit within
the temple It built and worship the
light that with even ray flows out over
its broad portals and pierces the realm
of every scientific truth and philosoph
ical verity. Her character Is In her
foundation and development, and upon
them we would delight to dwell, but
spneo forbids. From Infancy she has
breathed the air of western enterprise,
nnd fostered by tho state she has been
tho best exponent of Us hopes, its era
bltlons and Its high standards Her
huccobb in athletics, in debates and In
tho departments of scientific investiga
tion and learning are all evidences of
her patriotic devotion and loyalty to
her trust. In no pait of tho Union
Is there nn Institution of learning that
lies more closely to the heart of the
commonwealth than does the Univer
sity of Nebraska, hence the exercises
of this day partake of the nature of a
holiday observance and will be read
and treasured by the thousands who,
absent in person, are with us in spirit.
Looking back from the threshold of
this day, our grasp is swift and firm.
Looking to the future, we see tower
ing great possibilities which, Bure of
their foundation, are the bulwarks and
safeguards of free institutions.

tho University from small towns and
mingle with the two thousand students
In tho institution soon learn to look
out for themselves. This fact Is no
ticed especially In the library. It Is
no uncommon occurrence to boo some
one spread his books on a desk, tip up
the chair and then dlsapear for a short
time a matter of two or three hours.
Not Infrequently, too, such students,
who seem to disregard tho rights of
others, accldcntly (?) carry away with
thorn library books that arc In con
stant demand. For this they are not
to blame, but they neglect to return
the books and leave them lying about
In their rooms for a week or more.
University life ought not to promote
carelessness, selfishness or indifference
to the laws of courtesy and good
breeding. The Institution Ib public
property and no Btudcnt ought to ex
pect to monopolize rights that are
common.
While the P. B. K. election Thurs
day night did not turn out just as It
was expected that It would. It ought
to be remembered that certain condi
tions must be met before the name of
any student can be even considered.
A student specializing In one or two
departments is not eligible to election,
no matter how proficient he may be
in his line of work. Only the names
of students who have completed four
of the following list of six branches of
work are voted on In election: Ten
hours of history, ten of ancient lan
guage, ten of modern language, ten of
mathematics, ten of science and six
hours of philosophy. It 1b evident
from this that all good students cannot
be elected to the fraternity In fact,
a huge number of the very best stu
donts are barred by this provision. So
wo who were not fortunate enough to
receive the honors of P B K. may
console ourselves that it was not the
chamctor of our work that caused the
disappointment, but the lange of our
studies and their proper distribution
In the different departments of the
University. At any rate, we can most
heartily congrntulate our fellow stu
dents who by hard incessant toil
gained one of the highest honors that
school life affords. Such honors fall
only to the deserving.

Bennett, of the Municipal League,
says of that organization: "The league

In office or one seeking office, but it
will carefully watch the actions of a
man who has been Inducted into office
and will fearlessly publish his rec
ord." Lincoln citizens make con

The Seniors Elect.
The class of '03 of the University
elected its last corps of officers last
Tuesday, February 10. Since the last
semester holds for the senior class
something more than ihe ordinary
pleasures and benefits of school life,
the officers are considered an enviablo
honor For this reason,' it was ex
pected that the election would be a
tierce contest Almost tho entire class
assembled In the old chapel to boo the
fun and to participate In the election.
It had been noised about the Univer
sity, and especially among the seniors,
that several aspirants for the ofllce of
president would appear at the election
with good backing. When the meet
ing was called to order, however, and
time for nominations arrived, only one
candidate was placed before the class,
C. C. Tellesen. After a long pause,
which satisfied tho enuro class that
other aspirants would not appear, some
one arose and, as a joke, nominated
W. J, Falrchlld. Mr. Falrchild asked
that his name might bo withdrawn,
but was refused by the chair. Nomi
nations were declared closed and a
ballot taken, which resulted In tho
choice of Mr. TelleBon. Three candi
dates wore nominated for the office of
vice-president, Miss Woodford, Mlaa
Gould and Miss Cady. Miss Woodford
was elected. Miss Maud Smith, the
temporary secretary, was given the of
fice permanently, and Miss Sly was re
elected s.reasurer by a unanimous vote.
