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.
