It is to bo hoped that as largo a
number qb possible may see fit to pa
tronize tho band hop a week from
Saturday. The date has been madefree
from conflicts of any kind, with the
idea of suiting the majority of people
who are In the habit of attending such
affairs. Tho cause is d worthy one and
deserving of your support. The cost
lp trifling only half of what is charged
at the cheapest class or military dances
r-find. nearly everyone can. afford to at
tend. Mo elaborate preparations arc
boing made, but tho affair will be
strictly informal and, it 1b hoped, very
enjoyable. Is there any reason why
fratB and barbs should not mingle in
more equal numbers than has been the
custom? At all dances during tho year
the barb elomont Is decidedly In tho
minority. There la no reason in the
world why this should bo the case. The
(lumber of barbB who dance Is perhaps
as great as that of the fratB, and such
bolpg the case, why should Buch mat
ters be left almost entirely to fraternity
people? In no other western school
1b the distinction made so great, ami
It Is time a new precedent was being
established here.
OO
The uso of tho armory for money
making purposes establishes a new
precedent In University affairs. Until
two years ago It was impossible to se
cure the"ulldlng for a dance of any
description, and then its use was grant
ed for class parties only. Another step
has now been taken and the band will
use It next week for monoy-maklng
purposes. The writer believes the step
taken is in the right direction, and
that there should bo no difficulty In
securing tho armory for the promotion
of a worthy cause. Affairs of this kind
pertain directly to the University, and
there is no necessity for hiring a hall
down town when wo have one on the
grounds fully capable of serving the
purpose. To be sure, It should not be
used Indiscriminately, but for class
parties and receptions of all kinds It
should be at the disposal of tho stu
dents, and its use serves to make tho
affair more Btrlctly connected with the
University.
OO
If tho party who In the Nebraskan
"Bulletin" threatens a pocket-book
taker with exposure, realty knows tho
young lady's name, he (or she) owcb
It to the University people to make the
name known to tho proper authorities.
There is no need of vlndlctlveness or
undue publicity; but there Is great
need of strong measures to put an end
to tho alarming amount of pilfering
going on thlB year. It Is mistaken
mercy to hope that the threat of ex
posure will permanently cure a case of
chronic thieving. By all means, let
the Information, If really known, be
conveyed at once to the executive office
and thd culprit dealt with in the proper
manner.
Perhaps a mistaken understanding of
the real facts of the matter led to a few
statements not exactly true in an edi
torial published laat week. Wo refer
to tho discussion on the system of five
hours' drill. Since the government re
quires it before making tho appropria
tion desired, the present commandant
is not In any way responsible for the
change. The fact remains, however,
that five hours is entirely too much for
a state university, and any movement
looking to the lessening of tho require
ment will bo a welcome one to the
men of tho Bchool.
OO
For the first time since Coach Booth
Iras been employed In tho University
It has boon necessary to hiro a different
coach for tho baseball squad. Whilo it
is more probable that a baseball man
will make a better baseball coach than
a football man, It necessarily entails a
greater expenditure of cash, and it has
usually been the case that the base
ball team is not much of a money
making Institution anyway. It Is to
bo hoped that the Improvement In tho
ability of tho team will more than
compensate for the extra expense.
OO
FTqw that the baseball season is near
at hand, It will goon bo necessary to
remove the east bleachers. Tho orig
inal intention was to tear down the
bleachers Immediately after the foot
ball season, and store them under the
grandstand, for tho sako of better pre
serving them. They have done no good
where they are, and it would have been
as easy to remove them then as now,
thus saving them from the bad effects
of the snow and rain,
Convocation Hoks
Oxford rules and discipline. Tho first
students selected in this country must
take up their residenco In Oxford by
the first of October, 1004. In discuss
ing the general character of England's
great college, Mr. Wallace Bald that
Oxford was but a university In name.
It Includes a multiplicity of colleges
having separate names. Each has, its
own endowments, faculty and student
body. Each student is compelled to
reside for a period of thrW years at the
college which he attends. They are
restricted by various rules coming
down from medieval times. The torch
ing la done by tutors. There are tw
classes of Btudents. The flt---the
aristocratic spend about an hour a
day in study aPd tho rest of the time
in entertaining and dissipation. The
second class, which is known as the
"Honor Men," is the more BtudiouB.
Every student who passes tho examina
tions successfully must take a degree
whether ho wishes to or not Oxford
Ib great only in social training and
not in learning. In learning it cannot
compare with the splendid Gorman uni
versities. A spirit of association is
promoted among the students. Hence
tho Rhodes scholarships will result in
the forming and strengthening of social
ties between the resident Bcholars at
Oxford and those who come from
abroad.
Program for the Week:
Thursday D. A. Doraey: "Andrews'
Raid."
Friday Music program.
Rev. B. M. Long, chaplain for the
week.
Yesterday's Exercises:
Mr. C. W. Wallace of the English
department dlBcussed the Rhodes
scholarship at convocation yesterday,
citing and commenting upon the pro
visions of the will regarding them.
The one great ideal of the famous em
pire builder was the cessation of wars
and the establishment of a universal
language. Force could not accomplish
theBe ends. Permanent political and
social relations must be established
among nations before universal peace
can be realized. In accomplishing this
end education would be the mightiest
power. It would form tho strongest tie
In binding the nations together into a
community of relationship. But before
any steps could be taken at all, money
must be provided, and a knowledge had
of how to put It to the best use. Eng
land furnishes tho center, and the
United States and Germany, chiefly,
provide the material. In regard to re
quirements, greater stress is laid on
the Bocial than on the scholastic side.
Great importance. 1b attached to the
residential system, without withdraw
ing the sympathy of the successful can
didate from the land of his birth. It
is necessary that All candidates should
have had training In Latin and Greek.
The limits set for university studentB
are that they shall not be below the
sophomore year nor more than two
years beyond the bachelor's degree.
In the majority of universities In this
country, the selections will be made by
a committee with the president? of the
university as chairman. All receiving
these scholarships must conform to
World's Events: The first Cecil
Rhodes scholarship In Oxford awardod
to an American has been given to Eu
gene Heltler Lehman of New York
city, a Yale graduate of the clasB of
1902. He was born In Colorado twenty-two
years ago. Ills early education
wns received at the high school of
Pueblo, and after a year's course in the
Colorado University he went to Yale
as a sophomore. During his first year
at New Haven he won the Griffin gold
medal for oratory. It was the first
time In the history of Yale that it had
been won by a sophomore. He won
also many other prizes for oratory and
distinguished himself In successfully
leading the debating club to victory
against Harvard. Lehman was ap
pointed from Colorado, hla credentials,
vouched for by Yale, standing higher
than any of those submitted by two
hundred other applicants. He will en
ter Oxford next autumn. It is his in
tention to study the conditions of the
jews in uussia and the least, with a
view to their amelioration.
