Editorial Remarks
FIIATKKNITY IN COLL.KOK I.IFK.
The following extract from the
opening address of President Schure
maii of Cornell University so fullj
r.irpts the approbation of The Ne
1 laskan, and so well fits conditions
heie, that we are glad to ghe it
space In out editorial (olumns:
"Theie is a classifh atlon of our men
that on urs to me, some of them aie
fiatemlty men, and others are Inde
pendents I think the fraternity life
at Cornell is In many respects the
most ideal airangement for the lodg
ing, feeding and social lntercourbe of
students that lias ever been devised in
the history of the university. 1 think
(he small groups who live in these fra
ternities and meet as brothers give one
another a social, and perhaps moral,
help -which can be gotten in no other
way. I know they form life-long
friendships, which are the source of
much happiness and often of help in
the struggle for life in after years.
"Hut I want to warn the fraternity
men; 1 want to bring their attention
to a feeling of anxiety, which has dis
turbed me for a long timo. I feel that
our fraternities are laying stress too
exclusively on prominence. I am not
bujing financial, although perhaps that
is a point which the fraternities do not
oerlook. 1 think they are glving-too
much pionrfnence to student distinction
in athletics, and to the men who are
exceedingly popular among their class
mates. "
'1 am not saying that "all these
things should not bo considered, and
-fraternities should not have in their
organizations fellows distinguished as
football, baseball players, and so forth;
but 1 do say that the doom of the fra
ternities is pealed unless they do not
put on an equal stand with these the
men who distinguish themselves in
f cholarship and science, which is the
pilmary object of this university. I
have a suspicion that the average
standing of the fraternity man is not
as high as the average standing of the
man outside. You are here for the
purpose of education."

The following alumni letter has been
handed
by
friend. It Is from Mr.
E. G. Woodruff, an old II. of N. man
who assisted In the department of
Geology last year and is now in the
employ of the United StateB depart
ment of the Interior In Oklahoma:
"Nofhian. O. T.. Sept. 25, '04.
Dear Sir Since returning here 1
have had In mind sending you some
notea regarding the Panhandle, know
ing full well that you will be pressed
for "soil culture" material. We were
In the Panhandle during July, August,
and the early part of September. The
weather was pleasant, often the days
were warm very warm but in that
eubhumld region the air Is practically
always In motion, so a person suffers
but little. The nights are cool I
had three blankets In my bedding roll
and needed them every night. So, while
high temperatures are experienced, the
Bummer is not so exhausting as It is
in eastern Nebraska. Showers occur
but they are always local. It may be
sunshiny In one place and raining hard
five miles nway Understand, I am
writing only of the eastern half of
the Panhandle our work covered fif
teen counties. The eastern part of this
region is hilly, or rolling; the western
portion Is the level iable of the Ilign
Plains so level, in fact, that no drain
age takes place and the water collects
In small lakes wheie it evaporates or
senps away In the eastern region
erosion is progressing very rapidly
Everywhere the hills are being carved
away and the valleys cut out. On the
High Plains occasionally Immense can
jon gorges exist. One of the most
maiked is the Paladora, south of
Claude; this is five miles broad and
J100 feet deep. Note Ln approaching it
the traveler feels that he is to travel
on the level plains continuously, then
he notes a gentle slope for half a mile
and perhaps through the mosquite
bushes ho catches glimpses of the
breaks on the opposite sides. It is
one of those streams whose downward
cut far exceeds its lateral. .My last
tiip was toward Sllverton and in pass
ing from the valley of Red river to
the High Plains,, eight miles aw.av. an
elevation of 1.200 feet was attained
This Is not remarkable In Itself, but
when the level of the plains is
i cached one can travel for miles with
out encounteiing a hill or elevation of
any soit
A government edition will be issued
showing the water conditions there
In brief, however, there Is plenty of
water in the Panhandle. In the Red
beds of the eastern part g.psum water
is universal These beds are occasion
ally crossed by sand ridges, which fur-
nish fresh water. Here water ranges:
from springs to 250 feet. On the
High Plains water Is always good
Its depth langes from 80 to 500 feet.
Most wells range from 250 to 4u0 feet,
which latter figure is not considered
an excessive depth. No irrigation I?
now attempted.
The region is pre-eminently a stock
country. Cattle are eery where. All
Is fenced No regular laid out roach
exist, but trails lead through the pas
tures. A little farming is being tried
in a half-hearted way. Land is so
cheap that the few farmeis feel that it
is just as cheap to plant large fields
and give them little attention as It Ts
to plant little and tend it well. And
this Is certainly true in this region
Where weeds do not thrive. One of
the great needs Is a good agricultural
experiment station and some pvupp-
Jenced farmers to test over a series of
j ear Just what can be done. I am
convinced that skill and methods ap
plicable to subhumid regions will avail
much, ln price land ranges from $2.00
to $10.00 per acre. Taxes are said to
be veiy low.
The people are the most hospitable
I have met anywhere. It is the cus
tom never To-tucn a stranger away and
never to charge them for staying over
night. This is universal. I wish I
could tell you fully of these people and
add a few slides to your geography
collection, but 'cannot now.
Yours truly.
E. G. WOODRUFF.
