'K The number of contributions to vari ous kinds of llteraturo by faculty and student members of the University Is probably much greater than tho ma jority of us realize. Each month the University Is creditably represented In several of the standard periodicals, to say nothing of its sharo in the more permanent and ponderous works of the year. As an example of tho institu tion's activity along these lines, we glvo below a brief summary of Univer sity contributions to various publica tions for tHb paBt month. Tho third volume of the publications issued by the Nebraska ornithologists' union, which was established in 1899, is Just being published. It is in many ways, says Dr. Wolcott, tho handsom est publication ever issued by an or nithological society. It is printed on tho best booK paper, dnd-the illustra tions are very fine. It consists of 110 pages, Including 100 cuts and 16 full pago half-tones from photographs of birds, nests and eggs. The leading article Is by Professor Barbour, on the progenitors of birds, and is a more complete write-up of the primitive birds and bird ancestry than Is now anywhere else In print. There are also articles on the birds of northwestern Nebraska, the birds of the sandhills, tho winter birds of NebrasKa, and bird photography. The articles were most ly written by Professor Bruner and his assistants, and by Professor Wol cott, and other members of the union. At the close of the volume Professor Wolcott has part of an article which is to bo a resume of all that has been done on Nebraska birds up to date. The bibliography in this volume includes nearly 200 titles. ThiB Bociety, now in Its fourth year, numbers nearly 200 members, and Is stronger than any state ornithologist society that haB ever existed in una country, and even stronger than some societies that have drawn from several Btates. It has done more work than any other society, with the exception of tho national ornithologists' union. Mr. R. C. Roper, '01, a member of tho senior law class, has an article In the February number of "The Open Court," on "The ReligiouB Beliefs of Abraham Lincoln." In It ho says: "A Methodist minister once said that Ab raham Lincoln was too great a man to belong to any church. This sentiment Is far more charitable than some of tho printed speculations on tho simple faith of our martyred pres.uent. But it Is pre-eminently true. Lincoln was too great a man to belong to any sect whoso creed would force a single soul outalde Its fola: too broad a man to J confine his religious life within denom inational barriers; too simple to enjoy the pomp and show of forms an.d cere monies; too aympathetlc to affiliate himself with any church less Inclusive than the brotherhood of all men. Lincoln was an extremely religious man, though not a technical Chris tian." Chancellor Andrews has an Illustrat ed article In the January number of Review of Reviews on "Tho American Ox and Hla Pasture." The Chancellor says: "That tho life-supporting power of the government pastures 1b 'rapidly declining there can be no doubt. The high price of beef is not due entirely to the rapacity of packers. Public pasture 1b dying out Areas which half a century ago grew vast herds of buffalo, antelope and door, and subse quently even moro Immense troops of cattle, nro now almost a waste. Still ampler domains aro npproachlng the samo fato." Dr. Bolton contributes an extended review to the coming number of the Psychological Rcvlewi of an experi ment upon "Tho Inhibitory effect of similar and Identical impressions sim ultaneously presented to a psychologi cal reagent." Professor Orummann has In tho March number of The Educational Re view, a criticism of VIorcks' "German Instruction In tho United States." This work is a very Important one, being a part of the government report on ed ucation. Mr. J. L. Sheldon, of the botany de partment, has an article In tho No braska Farmer on "Ergot and Its Ef fects on Cattle." Abstracts of the ar ticle have been published In a num ber of papers. "The White Glory," published in tho current issue of McClure's, Is by Keene Abbot, and was written while he was hero at the University. Mr. Abbot is now publishing a paper at Lawton, Okla. Dr. Clement8 has an article In the Bulletin of tho Terrey Botanical club, for February, on "Nova Ascoraycetlum Gonera Spiclrsque." &4l4(4f4f4W&44f4(44(4 : i California if :: SB if Wa The Turlington j! i EVERY THURSDAY 5 i AND SATURDAY i 'A ll PERSONALLYICONDUCTED Excursions J i Only $5 for a double berth and ! $25 for a R.

During tho sum mer tho survey will be continued in tho way of investigating the quarry and clay regions and especial atten tion will be given to the sand hills. which cover about 24,000 square miles. The sand hills feed great herds of cat tle and an effort Is now being1 made to irrigate and help out tho alfalfa, which is already gaining a strong foothold among the hills.
