Editorial Remarks And student or member of tbe fnc ulty, who 1ms received a lot tor from some -alumnus, which they think would lie of interest to tho University pub lic, en n confer a grent Tnvor upon us by hnndlng It to us for publication. Anything pertaining to our nlumnl is always Interesting and we wish that all who enn assist us In this manner will do so. o Todny Ib tho dny of tho grent gnme, and little more enn be snld in pointing out to the student body their duty to attend. Everything hnB been done to nrouso Interest that tho most enrnest nnd enthusinstic supporters could do, and wo can only await tho result. The Knox men are hero, and tho game this nfternoon will bo fnst nnd furious, nl though we nre confident of winning by a substnntlnl score Ouronly fenr Is thnt ns largo n crowd ns the game warrants will not be out, although tho signs are much more encouraging than they were a few days ago. Basket ball practice Is coming along well, and there seems to bo good pros pects for a strong toam t hie year. Al though some twenty-five men are show ing up regularly, more are requestdd to como out. Especially those who have played boforo are urged to come out and practice. Thcro Is n good num ber of old men back, who aro playing faster than ever. Tlfoso together with some promising now players form the nucleus of a strong team. Hut at tho same time all who take any interest In tho gamo should como out, for tho groator tho 'amount of material the wider will be tho range of choice. Tho classes will all have tennis ngnln nnd as soon as the football season Ie over calls will be Issued by the proper officials oxhortlng y;ielr classmen to como nnd lend their services townrd developing .vehainplonship tenm. The contests between the dnss teams Inst yenr woro well fought out nnd aroused much Interest. The lltornry society tennis nlso did good work, nnd it Is hoped thnt each of these organizations will find tho prospects fnvornble for creating a widespread Interest in tho gamo among themselves. We should nil feel n measuro of Bat lsfnetlon in tho notion of those In an authoritative position, who hnve urged that the Knox tenm be accorded tho fairest treatment that It is within our power to extend. We want all visiting teaniB to know thnt Nebraska stands firmly for the cleaner clement In foot ball and that all rowdyism Is not only ' discountenanced, but never practlcod. We have the privilege of rooting with right good will, but this can be done In such a manner that no one will be oraRed upon. The squad leaders have shown an alertnesH In checking pro longed outbursts that might interfere with the signals, but today the crowd will bo larger and their responsibilities Inciensed. Each rootor, then, should observe tho rules of rooting etiquette already laid down, and live up to the teachings of those who can speak au thoritatively and who have tho inter estH of the toam at heart. Wo look to see some extraordinary efforts put forth by the rooters this afternoon, as the occasion demands It. Hut let each re member to keep within bounds, nnd give the Knox, men as fair treatment, In not hindering their play, as possible. o The total receipts of the Minnesota Michigan gnme Inst Snturday ntnounled to $30.9:i BO. This amount will be even ly divided between tho athletic asso ciations of the two universltites after all the expenses are paid. A few games of this character will do more good to the institutions participating than an out and out endowment fund, ns far ns financial results are con c orned. ABOUT THE LIBRARY. Some Idea Given of Splendid Work Being Done. The development of the University library and its present standing Is a matter of much Interest and we aro glad to be able to publish this library sketch for the benefit of our readers. Previous to 1880 tho library was lit tle used and the 1873 catalogue an nounced that the library would be open "two bonis per day," and that students in certain advanced courses might take books to their rooms. The chief object of the library was for tho use of tho faculty and In view of this fact some member of the faculty was placed In charge lest some bit of hidden knowl edge might escape. It was not until I KM that a trained librarian was em ployed. Miss Mary Jones, '8r. a grad uate of the Albany Library school, '93, was given charge. In 1897 she resigned and a yoar later Mr. J. J. Wyer, tho present very eflty'iont librarian, en tered upon his duties. Till 1889 two small rooms answered for library and reading room. That yoar two larger rooms were fitted up for Its use In tho main building, and these continued to be the library until .November, 1895, when the new library building with ample accommodations for stacks, reading -rooms and semi nars, was decile ntou. The library start ed in 1871-72 with 2,000 volumes and during the following tep years increased to only double that number. By 1891, however, 12.0(H) volumes were found on Its shelves, increasing to 40,000 vol umes by June, 1899; about 25,000 of those being found In the main library and 15,000 Jn. the departmental libraries. That number has grown rapidly since then and a few days ago the (iO.OOO mark was passed, there being yearly added from four to five thousand vol umes. Tho uumber of journals and perldicnls regularly reeelved 1b ap proximately (KM), at a cost for subscrip tion and binding of about ?2,500. The law library has been especially en riched this year. Among other works a particularly valuable set of .ie "Cen tury, Digest, " costing $300, was placed upon tho shelves; also an 84-voluoie eot of Tennessee reports, costing $275, was purchased, besides several hundred vol umes of case and text books. New and commodious quartern wertT also provided for this library. Tho library forco, including tho branch libraries, is made up of seven regular attendants and four pages, tho latCef being employed at odd hours each day. The library has now become the laboratory for many departments, such as history, literature, philosophy, and pedagogy. So urgent are tho de mands made upon It that even now the rending rooms, which seat about 500 people have become very Inadequate and there aro times every day when it is difficult or Impossible to get seats. Tho plan of the library building Is such that an addition may bo built on tho west and this will 'undoubtedly have to be done in the near future If tho library is to keep pac with the in creasing demands upon it. pMWMlll II II i.. - --L".J-UL.Jl1.-UTa-lJUT FOR THE MILITARY BOYS AE HVE IN PERF'F'CT PORVI MILITARY LINEN COLLARS & F"OR iS CENTS BLUE FLANNEL SHIRTS $j,00, $J.50 and $2.00 WHITE DRILL GLOVES J0c, 20c, a pair You Don't Want to Vlls jtAAinn- -...- NEW TRAPS FOR THE DECORATION Of DENS, CHAPTER HOUSES, ETC. ..,..- They are largely in leather goods, but with entirely new Ideas In decoration.
