UNDER WAY AGAIN
University Formally Opened for
Another School Year.
Outlook Bright.
The exercises attendant upon the
formal opening of the University for
the present year were held In Memorial
Hall last Saturday morning. Dr. Ros-
; coe Pound, dean of tho law school, de
llvered the address, speaking on "The
'Evolution of Legal Education." The
exercises were opened by an organ soR)
by Miss Raymond and a violin solo by
Miss Silence Dales.' Chancellor An
drews introduced tho speaker.
Dr. Pound traced the origin and de
velopment of law schools from the dayB
of ancient Romo down to the present
time. He discussed the Justinian code,
and drawing an analogy, expressed his
belief that the old Roman laws were In
nowise superior to the modern Eng
lish code. Private law schools existed
In early Roman times, which had their
novll or Freshman, and found it nec
essary to take measures against hazing.
In tracing the history of law schools
In America, he said that tho first one
was established at Litchfield, Conn., in
17iU. The law school .la. in -fact an
American Institution, and the Engish,
Bchools do not rank with ours. Tho
universities gradually monopolized the
field and the private, law school grad
ually went out of existence. Twonty
years ago the law schools were very
backward in development, but have
grown, greatly since that time. Most
of the leading universities, he said, of
fer a three years' course, and some de
mand a'college degree as a requirement
for entrance.
In discussing the present uuwelldy
system of laws that allows so many de
lays in the execution of Justice, he
pointed out tho necessity for reform
in criminal laws. To overhaul and
remedy these laws he thought would
simply be a matter of legislation, and
the day was not far distant when such
an event would take place.
Courts are in shape, and after Tues
day will be marked out and kept ready
for tho use of members. Only mem
bers are allowed to play upon courts.
The management wishes all players in
terested to get out and pay up dues
promptly to E. P. Tyner at the library.
The outlook is promising. Scrlbner of

TOBIN GOES TO CHICAGO.
Will Try for Place on Chicago
University Eleven.
John F. Tobln, who for the past four
years has figured prominently In ath
letic and debating ovents at UiIb Uni
versity, left last week to enter t-he law
Hchool of the University of Chicago.
He received his A. B. last Jnne and
intended taking up work In the law
department here this semester, but
later changed his plans.
Tobin was one of the strongest men
in track work that ever attended the
University. His exploits in tho hammer-throw
and shot-put brought him
to the front rank of University ath
letes. For two years he held the cham
pionship for the shot-put and last year
established a wonderful record for the
hammer-throw, Imrling tho instrument
a distance of over 129 feet. ThiB rec
ord will probably stand unbeaten for
a long time to come. He also showed
up strong In debate, wining a place as
an alternate on one of the interstate
teams two years ago, and was a lead
ing football player. The first semester
of last year he served as news editor
of The Nebraskan.
Ho is at present a protege of Coach
Stagg and has been showing up well In
practice. He was lnthe line-up Sat

WINS FIRST GAME
Uni
Defeats High School, but
Goal Line Is Crossed.
Score 23 to 6.
The University opened Its football
season Saturday with the Lincoln High
School as opponents In the presence of
a small and quiet crowd of the faithful.
In the early part of the first half
the High School Bcorod a touch-down
and kicked goal, from a fumble by one
of the University halves, but that was
all thero was In It for them. Nebraska
settled down to hard work and when
the whistle sounded at the end of the
game had twenty-three points to their
credit. Two touch-downs by Benedict
and two by Marsh. Bender kicked three
goals.
Be It said hero, not for the purpose of
tryingto cover a coBtly fumble, but In
honest praise of a worthy team, that
the Lincoln High School has one of the
best teams it has ever put forth, strong
In the line, speedy behind the line,
and "heady" throughout.
Against this team the University
made a splendid showing. The score In
tho first half was discouraging, but the
playing in the second half brought out
the true metal of the team.
Back of the line, Clark and Brlgga di
vided honors at full. Benedict, Marsh
and Du Cray came In for their praise
at right half, while Eager and Bell held
down left half. Gore, Eagan and Grif
fith were all played at left end. Conk
lln filled1 right end during the game.
Bender proved his versatility, adapta
bility and stability at quarter. Borg,
Hunter and Cotton, all old mon, gavo
strength and firmness to tho line. New
ton, captain of last year's second team,
alternated with Robertson at right
tackle. Perry, a new man, Bhowed up
well at left tackle.
During the second half Eager and
Marsh proved' to be excellent ground
gainers, several times skirting the ends
for fifteen, twenty and twenty-five
yards. Owing to the lack of practice
the playing was oratlc, but towards the
end of the gairie the team steadied
down and gave an exhibition of fast
ball.
Simply because we have been scored
on through a fluke there seems to be a
feeling hat the team is doomed. Where
Is, Ihe Jp$Uy of the students? Whore
ts that fanous rallying spirit of Ne
braska? We liave the men, wo have
a coach and a captain that can not be
beaten. Let tho students turn out and
show that we have faith in Nebraska's
winning team.

dent body on Mondays for thc'lr mass
meetings and class meetings and for
such other purposes as their, needs re
quire. The Y. M. C. A. cablnot held Its first
meeting of tho year last Tuesday oven
ing. The chief business brought be
fore the meeting was tho discussion of
plans for tho removal of tho $170 de
ficit in the treasury now existing. It

to the student body, and tho matter
will be brought up for future consider
ation at tho first business meeting of
the year, which will be held Thursday
evening.

and very well received. On account Qf
a bad cold Mr. George Johnson: was
unable to sing as watf-fpunceil.
The Y. W. C. A. reception Saturday
evening at -the governor's mansion was
a great success. About three hundred
young ladles were present, most of
them new students, and the older

ception of ftny vet hekl. Miss Withers
spoke and a special rau&lcal program
was furnished. '
