WELCOME THE
Three Hundred Students Meet Chancellor Andrews at the
Depot and Escort His Carnage to His Residence.
The home-coming of Chancellor An
drews from Chicago ' tenia y morn
ing. after confinement of several dajw
with illness in the hospital, was marked
by a demonstration that truly betok
ened the strong attachment ol our M -dent
body for him. With onl) a f w
minutes' notice of his expected arri;ii
a throng of over three hundred stu
dents was nt the depot to greet him is
he stepped from the train. The roit'-
InR-chccrs of a united student body and
the University yells that have fallen
into disuetudc. as it weie. since the
close of the football season, weie put
in operation again, and served to make
Chancellor Andrews' return a home
coming, indeed.
Dr. Andrews was escorted to his car
riage amid the acclamation of the en
tnusiastic throng. The horses were
unhitched and a long lope attached.
Then with several hundred students
pushing in and grasping for a hold on
the rope, a proceFsion was formed, and
the carriage was drawn by a represen
tative portion of as patriotic a student
body as can ho found in the west. The
route followed led directly to the Chan
cellor's residence, at the corner of 11th
and Q streets, the carriage proceeding
first up P street, then turning a block
north at the corner of 11th and P. and
proceeding the rest of the way along
Q.
Upon beiug escorted up the steps ol
his rosidence, between the cheering
rows of students inapsed on cither side.
Chancellor Andrews showed how deep
ly he was affected by the feeling
shawn for him by the studeut body. b
feebly exclaiming:
"I really dor't dosere it."
Being by no means recovered fiotii
his illness, he was unable to speak a
few words to the throng, much as he
desired. Professor Fogg announced
that he was requested by the Chancel
lor to state that lie would thank the
students for their kindness when lie
was Qble to 'talk.
This whole affair was oi an entirely
impromptu character. Some plans had
been laid for giving the Chancellor a
cordial reception, but these were disar
ranged by the arrival of a telegram
from Ashland stating that -Dr. An
drews, was not on the train. D.i.
Guy Andrews hud already received a
message stating that the Chancellor was
on the train, and an announcement of
this was made barely in time to get th"
news around. At 10 o'clock the news
was hurriedly circulated, and in an in
credibly abort space of time a large
crowd was assembled at the depot.
Chancellor Andrews was certainly a
sick man, and plainly showed the ef
fects of the illness from which he has
been suffering. When he stepped from
i.ic train yesterday he hardly seemed
to realize what the gathering of stu
dents who were there to meet him
meant. Although it had been stated
that ho would he confined to the Chi
cago Baptist hospital for a week to
come, ho was determined to return
home and recuperate here. Reports of
his condition were all reassuring, but
no one expected him to return home
yesterday, until suddenly apprised ol
the fact that ho was coming.
Tliia event has a deep signiflcamc.
It shows the fond attachment and rev
erence that our students have for our
Chancellor, as was shown by the spon
taneity of their action In turning out to
greet htm and in escorting him to his
hqme. No' truer test of loyalty could
be found. But It more distinctly shows
the greatness of the man who can win
CHANCELLOR
the hearts of our student body ho
completely as he has done.
The ovation accorded Chancellor An
drews calls to mind that tendered him
at Drown University, when he vlsileu
that institution throe years ago. Upon
this occasion the demonstrations made
showed cleaily the positive affection
that all Hrown men, both old and new.
ntertain for Chancellor Andrews,
which is hard to understand for those
on the outside. The -whole student body
turned out to greet him. although he
had been absent from Hrown for a col
lege generation, or more plainly speak
ing, four years. They unhitched the
horses from a carriage and hauled him
up the college hill to the campus, un
der a veritable arch of rockets and
Roman candles. .The Brown Herald
described all these events at the time
and its files will .bear record of these
fai ts. The students obliged him to
make an address at Impel and after
the faculty had finished their reception
of him. the students bold a big cele
bration. They made one of the big
gest bonfires that ever graced a college
campus, and rang the college bell near
ly the whole night through. Next
morning they packed the -chapel, cu'
ting their recitations, and escorted him
around the campus. Most ot these
men had never seen him before, but
still they felt the attachment that the
magic of his name made strong. This
reception is said to be unique in the
history of the college world.
Another ovation was tendered him
in 1807. marking a great event In the
history of Brown University. This wis
after he had decided to lomnln ii
Hrown, because of the urgent request
of the corporation as well as the fac
ulty and alumni, which insisted that
he withdraw . is resignation, which h-j
did, and he remained there until 1SDS.
when for prrconaj reasons he resign-d
to accept the superintendeney of the
public schools of Chicago whit h two
resignations have sometimes been ton
fused. Eeiy .student in tills I'lihersily hn.-
a living consciousness of the great
woik that Chancellor Andrews lias
done in building up our institution '.
its present high standing. No one for
gets that his best and noblest efforts
are directed for the advancement of our
University and the strengthening of all
of its departments, and all the gre.it
work that lie has done aniLis. doing !s
uppreiiatod- and endorsed by uy all.
A western institution is great, if the
man at the head of It is great, and Ne
braska Is truly great. Her opportuni
ties are many, and If the wishes and
alms of Chancellor Andrews are not
thwarted, she' will realize them all. No
one knows this better than our stu
dent body and none would be more dil
igent in tramping out whatever crior
might be spread abroad. Chancellor
Andrews has our love and confidence,
and whenever there comes such an op
portunity as was presented eslcrday
we are glad to honor him.

turn out the strongest track team that
the west has ever seen thlH year. All
the best men of last yeur'B team are
buck, nnd a lnrge bunch -of promising

remainder of the places. The only thing
the team promises to be weak in is the
shot-put. Martin, the best man of the
candidates, is not able to toss the 12-lb.
ball more than 40 feet. A man named
Smith, from the southern part of the
state. Is expected to more than fill Ed
Manning's place at the quarter. It is
said he can do it In 51 seconds when he
is hard-presBed. Hagenslck, who al
ready holds a couple of hurdling rec
ords, is Intent on breaking them. The
high Jump ought to be ours In every
event, with Benedict Jumping 5 feet !
inches, and Edgerton crowding him
hard at the same mark. The long dis
tances will be safe In the hands of
Captain States and Benedict, while 'n
number of men. Including Burg, who
won the first place last year on t,h
team, are trying for the sprints. Taken
all in all the team this year promises
to be a remarkable one, and will
show the Gophers a warm time if a
meet Is arranged.
