A Class Organization to be Known as "The Innocents." For some time there have been ru mors afloat to the effect that a senior society would be organized In the Uni versity of Nebraska, following the same general lines of senior organiza tions in eastern colleges, notably Har vard, Yale, Dartmouth and Princeton. It was learned yesterday that the per fection of such an organization is al ready an accomplished fact. Several seniors have been working on the Idea ior some weeks. They received part of their inspiration from an idea that has had a vague existence for years past in the minds of a few faculty members and University alumni. Roscoe Pound urged tho formation of such an or ganization four or five years ago, on the grounds that the very purpose of its existence, If It copied eastern ideals, was to advance University Interests at every possible point; to furnish a compact corps of harmonious workers, where college spirit and enthusiasm might be generated; to give a body of men who would be pledged to put their shoulders to the wheel in all Univer sity undertakings; to be a guiding central body to lead in those things that fall in tho University of Nebraska, because, being left to the student body In general, tho old maxim applies, ''What is everybody's business is no body's business." Chancellor Andrews has given his approval to the organization, after an examination of its constitution, part of which is given below. Faculty mem bers who are in sympathy with the Idea and are giving their assistance feel that this organization, drawn as It is from all colleges and social claBBes In the University, will serve as a long needed unifying element, since tho present arrangement of courses is not conducive to class spirit and tends to leave the student at graduation almost aB Ignorant of tho powers and pur poses of his fellow classmen as when he matriculated. Probably one of the most meritori ous features of this senior society Is Its plan of electing alumni members from tho different years, back to tho first clasB that graduated. This election has already been made and almost all or tho alumni who have done work In the outside world, work of which their alma mater Is proud, are now on the senior society alumni list. The pres ence of a half dozen of tho men who have been elected from previous years Is sufficient to lnsuro the future suc cess of the new organization, the de tails of which may bo gathered from the following excerpt from Us consti tution: Article 1. Name This organization shall be known as '"The Innocents." Article 2. Objects The objects of this organization shall be to further the unity and spirit of senior life and In our qlumni days to foster and ad vance the standards of our alma mater.

Professor Davis of tho mathematical department has In tho April number of School Science an article on "The Condition of Secondary Mathematical Instruction, with Some Hints as to Remedies." Tho article deals with the question of tho advisability and the method of correlating this branch with that of physics, and emphasizes the value of independent investigation In mathematics, as well as in the field of science. Professor Davis thinks the teaching of mathematics should break away from tho old formalism and keep the science In touch with what Is go ing on around us. As announced in yesterday's Nebras kan, the deans of the University, In a recent session, decided that all classes should be excused on Monday, Presi dent's day, from 11:30 to 2 o'clock. It is planned that all University stu dents should mass themselves at tho south and west side of the campus be tween Tenth and Eleventh streets, along which route the president and party will pass to tho F., E. & M.

Nebraska's speedy nine upheld Its reputation yesterday and secured tho bloody scalp of tho Nebraska Indians as the result of the first day of war fare. It was a pretty game all tho way through, marred only by tho cold wind from the north. Tho grounds had been sprinkled in the morning and wero free from dust. Longanecker in the box for tho 'var sity was hard hit, but received good support and allowed no ono to walk. Steon Covered himself with glory by landing a ball ovor the new gate and bringing In two men, with a home run for himself. Shelmer In center field made a couple of nice catches, but seemed afraid to tacklo several other chances that looked easy. Bender was in his usual form behind tho bat, but allowed one man to score on a passed ball. Summary: NEBRASKA. H. R. E. 8.O.
