THE GRADUATE CLUB.
Thoro Is to bo a mooting of tho
Gradunto Club tomorfo'w ovenlng, and
a largo attondanco Is requested. Tho
Gradunto.. Club in tho past Has not
boon as largo ns should bo expected in
a university which has as largo o
graduate school as has Nebraska, and
this may bo duo in somo part to the
lack of knowledge concerning tho club.
2. In spite q thesoconslderatlons,
however, Tt,4s evident that football at
proaont calls for an intensity "of .phys
ical oxortion and exposes tho players
to a dogrod of dangor not consistent
with tho best Interests of students.
3. More serious than these pnysicai
dangers are numerous moral oyub
which nlalnly exist. It is not neces
sary at this tlmo to attompt the ap
portionment of responsibility for theso
ovlls, but it is clear that thoy have tat
outgrown tho vigilance of faculties in
foreseeing dangers and in providing
remedies.
4. Tho situation Involves so much
more than more athletic rotations that
it should bo treated as an academio
problom of grave importance and for
that reason the essentials should be
considered by tho highest university
authorities.
In order to carry theso views into
effect tho Senate adopted this resolu
tion: "In view of flagrant moral andjphys
Ical evils connected with tho Inter
colleclato game of football as it is
now played, t is tho opinion of tho
University Senate that tho university
should take immediate stops in fur
therance of far-reaching and perma
nent reform."
To this end a committee was ap
pointed by tho president of the Senato
to report recommendations at -an
early dato by 'which tho gameof foot
ball can bo made a cleaner and a
healthier game.
The idea of abandoning tho game
Is not bolng seriously considered by
tho Maroon institution. "It Is not

Christmas Vacation.
Owing to a typographical error Jn
the handbook issued by the Y. M. C. A.
considerable doubt has boon occa
sioned as to the real tlmo tho Christ
mas vacation begins this year. In the
handbook the date has been set as
Tuesday evening, December 19, at six
o'clock. According 'to the University
catalog, tho vacation does not begin
until Thursday evening, and upon ap
plication this was found to be the offi
cial time.
Tho doubt was to a large extent tho
offspring of an earnest desire that the
earlier dato provo to bo tho correct
one. Vacations .have been cut down
gradually each year at Nebraska, until
now the Christmas recoss .lasts just
olovon days. Perhaps tho rest afforded
by tho nowly instituted mid-semester
examinations is considered as a vir
tual vacation.

Football Reform at Chicago.
The "reform" wave" has., struck Chi
cago, University. At tho meotlngsof
tho Unlvorslty Senato, the highest
academic body in the school, bolng
composed, of heads of departments and
faculty membors, held on December 2
and 4, tho following points wero dis
cussed and unanimously agreed on:!
1. The history of football in the mid
dle West for the last dozen years Is by
no moans a story of indifference on
the part' of university authorities to
tho t various forms, of danger, 'both
. physical' and'itior$l, which from, tlmo

easy," says Coach Stagg, "to seo how
any other game would, over take' tho
place of football. Somo other game
will result if the rules are changed to
meet tho demands of tho agitation.
Tfet America has choson its football
jUBt tho same as England has choson
association football, ana hor baseball
just as England hor cricket. In
neither country do I believe tho na
tional sports will bo abandoned or
changed. It is all natural selection."
In the wake of this rather, encourag
ing news comes the report from North
western University that It will prob
ably take no acUon against tho gamo.
Acting President Thos. P. Holgate, of
the Board of Trustees, says that tho
faculty, in whoso hands all athletic
affairs aro put, does not' feel that tho
matter requires any' legislation. Tho

fin speaking of the InsUtution's stand
relative to the sport, President Qutlor
says: ,
