Our Zmsday Letter
An Alumnus on College Spirit.
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-
