Mr. Editor: This thing you call "col lege Bpirit" Is a thing hard to deflno, yet quite easy to understand In its manifestations. When we see, as I saw during my Junior year, the Prince ton students, after their football team had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Yale, turning out almost unanimously to welcome them home, as if they were conquering heroes, we can get some hint of what "Princeton" means to them, and of what "college spirit" is something like that which the Roman senate exhibited when, after the consul had by his rashness lost the battle of Cannae and left his colleague on the field, they thanked him on his return "because he had not KtesDalred of the -republic." This in fluence is only one phase of what we rail in one Instance "support," In an other, "public spirit." ln yet a third, "patriotism." The sum and substance of It all Is loyalty to whatever partic ular thing you are Interested in. We support an enterprise, an athletic team, perhaps, or a charitable Institution, or what not one side of this large feel ing. A citizen who Is interested in the building up of his city, engages in such occupations as will result bene ficially to it, endows public Institutions, founds a library, beautifies or improves It in some way merely another form of loyalty. Finally, as indicated above, we have seen In the last few years what some have been pleased to term a revival or patriotism. Patriotism is simply love of country, with the loy alty, self- sacrifice, support, that phrase implies. "A Bweet and glorious thing it is to die for native land." The sol dier, wounded and dying on the battle field Is only Buffering for the same cause as the boy who trains and works to make the 'varsity crew, "a more worthy cause," some may say; but 1 will only repeat what I said a moment since they are both instances of the same thing, varying only in the means of expresion. A spirit that meanB something, an attraction for the young student, looking forward to a college course; to the undergraduate, often discouraged by defeat and disappoint ment, an incentive and encouragement; to the alumnuB, a pleasant and Inspir ing memory. That In brief, is the meaning of college spirit to the indi vidual. Now what does it mean to the school? Something that we can draw from the preceding paragraph. The school, furnishing this attractive ele ment of college spirit, draws to itself the young people from the surround ing high schools, who see the students animated and enthusiastic over Its suc cesses, and not disheartened by its de feats, and who long for something of the same feeling for themselves. From the undergraduates the college enjoys their hearty and undivided support and loyalty to its enterprises, along with a consistent pursuit of studies all, in fact, that goes to make up-the life of the nctlve.loyal student. The alumnus looks back over the years, reviewing the successes he has had, which the spirit he imbibed In school has helped him to win, the obstacles It has aided him to surmount, and with a feeling of gratitude acknowledges his debt to the college, and considers what he, as iarl alumnus, should do to repay It. Thus we go to a contest with a rival college, the standB are full; colors, horns, pennants, are everywhere; I gW?"l cheers urge on the contestants to great er efforts, reward the brilliant work of tho good men, and soothe the pain of the poor. I have played on a football team when the game seemed to be go ing against ub, and we were becoming disheartened, when a sudden enthusi asm would come upon our supporters, and have felt the thrill the well known yell would give, when I knew that the cheers were given from the heart, ap plauding our good plays, and condon ing our faults. Only one who has taken part, and has felt that sensation can understand fully what it means. A base ball player makes a meritorious effort to catch a difficult fly, and fallB. Do we hear hisses and groans? By no means. Such things are not to be the portion of the home team only en couragement, and a wish of "better luck next time." The debater, possi bly struggling against better logic, more forcible speakers, or an unfavor able audience, hears the vioces of his friends, Bees the colors he represents, and is urged on to greater power and eloquence. The sprinter in a hard fought race who knows that the crowd is with him, will exert himself to the utmost to win, knowing still that if he loses there will be for him only the sentiment, "You have done your best." Other things being equal, the one who enjoys the hearty and unanimous sup port of his mates is the one who will win, and without it no school can hope to win for long. Another point. By letting the fact become known that we do not support our teams, we give the impression, er roneous, we know, but the public does not, that they are not worth support ing. What does this mean? Simply this: the University of Nebraska, de spite its great number of students, is nothing but a second-rate school in the estimation of its students and faculty; they are ashamed to let the world know that they are from the Univer sity; they over-rated our institution, and will send their children elsewhere. This is not the work of my Imagina tion. I heard this opinion expressed, in substance, at least, while I was in the University. Men from other schools hold much the same opinion of ub: this is a second-class school, and when we want a game with a large college we are turned down. Now, thanks to various influences which need not be mentioned here, this opinion is being changed for a better one. But how about the student the aver age student, I may call him what is the problem for him, and Its solution? To my mind the question Is easily ans wered. The average student, with no particular ability as athlete, scholar, or speaker, In partial payment for what he is receiving from the state, is In duty bound to support all these proper enterprises of the University to the fullest extent possible, and If he falls to do so he is not doing his duty to himself or to the school. The necessity Is reciprocal; the University needs his support, and he needs the University influence, best to be gained by support- EHDCDLATE5 BDNDDNS Sold only by Harley Drug Go., llth '& 0 Ste f . i H " Ai j. - t . .., t-L; -it,i - .. 1 -i v .
