Chancellor Andrews addressed a large number of students at Convoca tion yesterday on the Impressions he received of Vassar and Wcllesley col legos, which he visited and lectured be fore, on his recent trip to the East. Dr. Andrews compared several fea tures of Nebraska with those of the two Eastern colleges. In some things wo surpass them and In others we can Imitate them, but on the whole the chancellor expressed his opinion that Nebraska can hold her own. Both Vaqsar and Wcllesley differ very materially from our Institution In college life. Being situated outsldo of the city those colleges are Isolated. Thoy form a college community of their own and, unlike Nebraska, they seem to be cut off from the world This, said the chancellor, Is a defeat hi education. College students should feel that they are a part of the larger life. One advantage of Isolation, however, Is that It is conducive to self reflection. Some college students are too prone to-study much and re flect little. While the power to study Is a precious virtue, we should not be little the Importance of thought and reflection. As regards the standard of Instruc tion said Chancellor AHdrews, Ne braska compares most favorably with Vassar and Wollesloy. The faculty of those colleges Is smaller and the curriculum" of studies more limited than here. Tho natural result Is that It Is possible to graduate a broader minded student in Nebraska. There Is one feature, however, In which the Easter lnstlutlons lar sur pass our own; In the beautiful cainpus and magnificent buildings. The former i3 duo in part to tho superior natural advantages, amplo room, hills, water and trees, and tho latter must be at tributed to tho benevolence of private benefactors. Eastern colleges Bald Dr. Andrews, are not afraid of "tainted money," Another feature which Nebraska can emulate Vassar and Wellcsley is col lege and class spirit Tho spirit shown there is immense. No student in either college, thinks that any other college lu the world will compare with her own. Such Bplrlt results in zeal, energy and thrift if not carried to exaggera tion. This intonso college spirit In Vassar and Wollesloy, remarked the chancellor, 18 manifested in splendid things and is not oxhiblted in "fool tilings" as it is occasionally by tho more, zealous students of Nebraska, Robert U Dunn, speclaf war artist and correspondent for Collier's Weekly, was the first representative of the press to reach the front In tho present Russian-Japanese war, and Mb photo graphs of actual scones at the seat of the fighting have become world fam ous.

Five errors "were made by the Varsity as against six by Highland Park. Only five hits appear to the credit of Johnnie's colts. Bender suc ceeded in landing a home run. The second game on the schedule at Ames with the Iowa state agricultural school was won by the Iowa team, by a score of 1 to 0.
