Editorial Itmarks
The Nebroskan's exchange editor la
led to remark that the University de
serves congratulations on Kb escape
from serious epidemic this year. While
a bad period of colds and like afflictions
preceded the Easter receBs, there has
been no repetition of the Bmallpox
scare of two years ago, ami no such
destructive ravage of typhoid as af
flicted first Cornell and later Stanford
Universities. DeathB have been re
markably few, and the health of tho
University public on the average good.

'A question IS often aBked, said tho
speaker, why the medical college wa8
placed at Omaha. Mainly because of
the clinical advantages offered In the
cities of Omaha, South Omaha, and
Council Bluffs; for, without clinics, the
study of medlclns for practice would
be next to worthless. Again, some say
that there Is another school In Omaha.
Does this not hurt our school? No.
Crelghton Is a denominational school.
It drawB a certain class of students of
that creed, which would not otherwise
attend any other school. It Is not a
direct competitor of oura. Students go
there who are not financially able to
come out of the city for three or four
years and attend the University. It Ib
a good thing for the University, for
the medical fraternity of the Btate to
have such an affiliation.
The Omaha Medical College formerly
held high Ideals; but It was hard to
live up to them. Hut now the closer
we live up to them under the new
affiliation, bo much the more nearly
will Crelghton have to approach the
standard set by us.
The medical course, said Dr. Wolcott,
comprises seven or eight years. Now,
whv these long courses? In the first
place a broader knowledge Is obtained
Now-a-dayB men muBt have more than
a mere knowledge of medicine and sur
gery. Money put Into a medical edu
cation Is an Investment a payment.
The faculty men at Omaha are strong,
capable of giving the best of instruc
tion. At the recent graduation exer
cises thirty-nine received degrees.
There were nine prizes and honors
given. Of the prlzca all three went to
former University men, and of the alx
honois. three went to our own gradu
ates, two to men of university train
ing elsewhere, and one to a man with
no university training, which facts
show the value of strong training
Then, again, the method of clinical
operations is far superior to that of
any other college. The class Ib divided
up Into small groups and each one of
these works at different times. Bet
ter results are obtained, because one
case thoroughly understood Is worth
Boeing fifty operations. The sectional
clinic Is not adopted anywhere In the
west except at Omaha. After gradua
tion better advantages for practice are
offered. The surrounding' country of
fers excellent opportunities for practice.

She (an tell you all things through
that slender repetolre of music. On
day when I was trying to write a
sketch about a thing I'd heard, a thing
which happened In an Iron-shuttered
mad house on a lonely sea shore. I
asked her for the selections that I
wanted now sad, now weird, now mer
ry with an unnatural mirth and she
nlaved the whole scene for me. The
Instructor kindly said that the little
sketch was potent; the power lay not
in my pen, however, but in the skill
ful fingers of the piano player. An
other time, I wanted a Btraln of mai
tlal music, which should tell how a
woman, tempted by the Intoxication of
a nw free life Hung suddenly open be

the wild exhilaration, and went back
to duty and the man to whom ahe
owed her loyalty went back rejoicing
that Bhe had been true and courageous
Before the musician caught the spirit

showed me the way.
There's n little religious melody she
plays, 'with variations," and the girlb'
heads droop with a thought, perhaps,
of the sweet .quavering mother's volte
that Bang the words so long ago. Then
she changes Into a merry fantasie,
caught In passing the dime 'musee, '
and every foot taps the floor. She
changes back again to the sentimental
waltz, full of rich, Bwoet shadows, and
reminiscence dawns upon the faces of
one or two of us who have, It may be,
lived more than the rest. In dreamy
fancy It keeps coming to me that the
strains say to them in hauntingly in
sincere, hopeless comfort, "The heart
that has been broken once, can never
be broken again."
Now this girl who so wonderfully
draws the soul out of the oUJ Instru

piano after all, If the right person get

not one of the sort who Boothes the

student, and not a musician In the or

the powcis that be! We couldn't stand
her in the house if she were she'd

This brings me to my text I've been
long enough getting to It: a musician
must Know more than music. She
must know the poets, in order to get
the deepest fullness of life's passion,
the thing she would repreaent In Bound.
If she find time for mathematics, the
tet hnlcalitlea of her studlea will grow
easier. If she investigate science, tho
greatness of the world which she seeks
to embody will give a power and scope
to her being which cannot but show
forth In her playing. If she study psy
chology, she will understand so much
the better how to sympathetically In
fluence the human mind In Its sensitive
sheath. She can do no better than Bhe

her thoughts, her messages no sweeter
