EDGRENMEMORIAL Committee Makes Arrangements for Fitting Services. Arrangements are being made for an Edgrcn Memorial which will bo held to honor the Memory of one who for years was idsntlfied with our Universi ty. Shortly before the holidays nome preliminary steps were taken toward arranging n fitting momorial. A com mittee was appointed to take charge of affairs and they are ablcto announce pome definite results. The committee has fixed upon Sun daysFebruary 14th. Immediately pre ceding Charter Day, as a fitting time for holding the services. They will be gin at 4 p. m. There will be possibly live speakers. Deans Sherman and Bes sey and Professor FoEsler-would give addresses and a representative citizen of Lincoln will take part. Various phases of Dr. Edgren'a life and career will be presented by these gentlemen, and it is intended to make this service a worthy tribute to his memory. The committee has planned to have these services as simple and unosten tatious as posBibl?. knowing well that If Dr Kdgrcn could have a voice in the matter he would prefer them to bo such, because simplicity was the es sence of his life. An opportunity will be given to his friends and admirers to moct in a, simple manner and to pay their respects to the memory of a man who thoJgli simple in many of his tastes, has wrought a vast amount of good and left a benefit in which many of them are partakers. Here in the scene of his former labors his old frlcnils and fellow workers will meet to eulogize his memory. It Is expected that upon this occa sion many of Dr. Edgren's old pupils will be present, as well as many who have enjoyed his friendship, some of whom have been associated with him in his work. Our University has had but few such men as him, and it is eminently fitting that tho University students and faculty, should meet to gether In this formal manner to vener ate the memory of one whose best enlevements were accomplished in the service of this Institution. In the time thaTemalns much will be done' to make the arrangements for the ser vices as complete as possible. It mrK be of interest to the Univer sity public to know that Yale Uni versity Is collecting material for a memoriaL volume of Dr. Edgren and no doubt those having charg? of the work wilJ le glad to recelyo whatever help they can get from us who knew him so well. Dr. Edgren is a graduae of Yale, and tajght there In the French department of me Sheffield Scientific School for eight years. HISTORICAL MEETJNG, Important Meeting Will Be Held Next Week.

Faculty Teams Will Wage War on Each Other. Tho faculty of tho University will engage in a battle of higher education with the faculty of tho High School at tho basket ball tournament this venlng. and a limited period of con Nulslvc excitement Is promised. Some of us coming from western towns have been used to shooting affairs and dyna mite explosions, but such pleasantries as- thone will be dwarfed Into utter in significance in comparison, with tho frightful calamity that is scheduled this evening both inthrllling proceedings and casualties. The hardened criminal may be moved by an appeal to reason, but the faculty members are above all trivialities and can be held In restraint only so long as there is nothing to roii so them up, In fact they arc callous beings and nothing In tho ordinary rou tine of every day existence can rouso tnem or energize them at all, but show them a basket ball and a team to play against, and they are Into It In a twink ling With all the fiery vim and hopeful zeal of a Swede woman cleaning a stove-pipe. To say tho game this evening will be stirring Is putting it mildly. It might as wel be said that a tornado ori'a domestic science kitchen Is stirring. Both teams have traditions to uphold aha a noble cause to inspire them. Our representatives have adopted, a pacific policy, their policy being o'Lovo-yotir followmen dd smile" your enemies." Bipod will now freely and scratched faces willtbe in predominance, AU. the stray slWs,,.6n the flabr.isvlllf find an abiding place in Various parta of fac ulty weaing apparel. Beyond all this wq dare hot prophesy. 'This la but the preface to the tale, that will be told this evening, and all who attend the game will be willing to bear witness that we have beon bullty of no exaggeration.
