Editorial Remarks
A. national convention of college -il-Itors
will be hold In St. Ixniis the lat
ter part of Juno. This meeting will
rcrtalnly be a uniquo one, and the, as
semblage of such talent will be an oc
Taslon of peculiar Interest. College
journalism Is climbing u Into an Im
Krtant iofrition, and It Is sending its
graduates yearly to great newspapers.
Hut with its growth the duties and re
sponsibilities of the college editor are
toiii-tantly Increasing. It is with this
tact In lew that an attempt is being
made to interest all of the college ed
itors in the convention to be held at
St. I.ouis. It will doubtless be a suc-
ess ful affair, and it will bring a large
number of students together, repre
senting ariod interests and all of the
phases of college journalism
The fa t that Uie law students hae
a habit of collecting at times aftir
(lasses, on tho second lloor of the
main hall, and making an undue
amount of noise, has called forth con
siderable complaint fiom members of
the faculty whose classes are dis
turbed. There ifl no reason why tho
law men should find it necessary to
argue out their differences of opinion
in a plae where their action auscs so
much annoyance, and if they would
take cognizance of this lact they would
be accommodating others to quite nn
extent. Wo have no desire to cen
sure them, but merely wish to remind
i hem of fhe annojanee that they
cui'O to i lasses in the coinse f
their rtcitatious.
April 29th kep this date open Do
not mako any advance engagements,
such as will prevent you from attend
ing the Kansas-Nebraska mill In Me
moiial Hall on the evening of that
day. Bear in mind the fact the Kiin
" sat team Is coming here for a pur-
pose, find if this works out to Its full
est extent they will bear off tho palm
of victory. It is indeed full timo now
that we begin to look forward with
active interest to this debate, as it will
probably mark the hardest struggle
that one of our debating teams will
ever have experienced. Every loyal
t-tudent likes to see victory achieved
by Nbraska, and) the forthcoming con
test will be an occasion for a display
of enthusiasm in which we should all
take pan. Debating has come to moan
much in all great Universities, and
greater stress 18 constantly being laid
upon it. Each institution that sends
a debating team forth to represent it
- feels tbflt there 'is much at stake. When
Wo realize how eager Kansas natural
ly is to dofeat our team, having suf
. fered successive defeats at our hands,
yo can not help feeling a keen inter
est In tbo forthcoming trial. Do not,
then, forgt the important date, the
29th of April.
Tho Ladles' Minstrel Show promises
to be one of the most popular and sue
cesaful events in which University in
terests have been represented this
yar. Tho task of training thos-e who
will lake part in the show is no light
one and the efforts of all who have
Interested themselves In tho undertak
ing should not be allowed to pass un
heded. Wo hope that everyone will
keep the eent In mind and turn out
and lend the proper encouragement by
the ir presence.

J. A. Waddell Gives Engineering
Department Valuable Plans.
Saturday Mr. J. A. L. Waddell spent
over four hours explaining to a num
ber of engineering students" the chief
and exceptional points of a number
of the most important works whhh
have been designed by his firm. Wad
dell & Heel rick. The Interest and value
of his address realized the highest ex
pectations of the students. He' told
many of the difficulties encountered in
tho launching of such an enterprise as
n great f)iidge. Methods of mixing and
laying concrete together with some
very frank statements regarding the
value of various brands of cement were
especially Interesting to the class in
masonry, as were also the descriptions
of the sinking of calsoons and the plac
of the wholo sub-structure.
One of the most remarkable bridg
spans in the world is the spread span
of the Fraz.er river bridge, whkh is
just being completed. This span is
20 tcet wide at one end and lUo feet
wide at the other. The object is to
accommodate curves of two railroad
tracks, one curing in each way trom
tho end ot the bridge ami running
along the bluffs on the river bank
T.eforc leaving Mr Waddell present
ed the civil engineering department
with complete drawings of seven e)f the
bridges ho had described. Altogether
there are 3.7i0 square feet of these blue
pilnts. and they represent a alue for
pape and printing of over $150 As
they are ery complete in details of
every part of the bridge they will
prove of immense value to student in
tho masonry nnd bridge courses. This
alue is enhanced by the fact that they
represent tho practice of the moat
prominent and able bridge designer of
tho day. and are the best results ot
his work.
Among the other things whhh Mr.
Waddell also presented the elepart
meht. were photographs and perspec
tive drawings of five of these bridges,
viz.. The Frazer river bridge In British
Columbia, tho new. Omaha bridge- the
St Charles Missouri river bridge,, the
Maumoe bridge at Toledo. Ohio, and
tho Index Rid river bridge. The draw
ings for these photoghaphs were mad3
by a Japanese draughtsman, who was
educated In Japan, but as his work
shows has extraordinary ability In his
line of work.
Valuable as these drawings are and
highly as we prize them they do not
appioach In value tho privilege of hear
ing Mr. Waddell speak and being in
spired by personal contact with a man
whoso material achievements rank
with those of the greatest engineers
In tho world. Engineering students
of Nebraska have passed a notable
mile post in their experience.
