Comment of tho moBt favorable
kind Is heard dally In regard to the
ory Interesting convocation exorcises
that havo been give nthls year. Never
before has the Btudent body mani
fested so much Interest In these exer
cises and attended them so well. Tho
crowds, while they have been small at
times, yet havo always teen very ap
preciative. Tho downtown people.
have attended convocation more this
year than before, and this Is probably
o to tho fact that so many interest
ing speakers havo been on the pro
grams. One of thO8trongfeatures of the
late programs has-been the taking up
of the lives of modorn dramatists. Tho
discussion on tfieso mon's lived4 and
works by capable speakers has been'
interesting to those attending. 1ho
musical programs, as usual; havo been
very good and havo drawn large and
appreciative,- audiences. The success
of these programs has been entirely
due to tho efforts of Professor Grum-mann.
Communication.
Editor Nebraskan:
In yesterday's issue there appeared
under the heading "Spittoons for Law
School," as an Item of news, that O. J.
Fee had purchased two dozen spittoons
to bo distributed about on the third
floor of University Hall. That "it has
been found necessary to do this in or
der that the thifU floor of Unlversitj
Hall will not bo so filthy from spittle
and that it may be possible for a lady
to go over tho floor and not collect
such spittle upon her dress." There
also appeared an editorial In the na
ture of a "roast" of the law students,
Inspired no doubt by the "news gath
erer." In the first -place, I wish to stato
that after diligent Bearch I failed to
find tho spittoons in the hall on the
third floor of University Hall, In the
second place, I wish to remind the
editor that University Hall Is not used
exclusively by the law students. And
If thehalls and stal'rwaya are satur
ated with tobacco juice that tho aca
domic students contribute tholr share.
I do not wish to appear as a defend
ant or apologist of tho few law stu
dents who, I am sorry to Bay, are ad
dicted to the filthy habit, but I do most
forcibly resent the picking out of one
body of men, holding them up to ridi
cule and contempt for the acts of a
very small fraction of their number,
and at tho same tlmo making no men
tion pf the guilty members of othor
departments. The general Impression
given by the articles in question is
that a majority of the law men aro, as
I heard a member of the Nebraskan
staff say, "rough necks." This is
false, meanly, contemptably false.
I can say this in defense of that
body, that a majority, yes, a large ma
jority, of them are high-minded gen
tlemen, with tho highest alms and am
bitions, who would scorn to do any
thing unbecoming gentlemen. I can
say this after threo years' association
with them, and the man who says
otherwise is either ignorant of what he
is talking about, or has no deslro to
bo truthful.
No words of condemnation can be
too severe or scathing to apply to the
man or men who will befoul with filthy
tobacco julco any apartment, hall or
building used by other people, but
when a "fierce" assault is made on
practically all the members of a large
body of men, when but a few are
guilty, I submit to all fair minds that
this is unjust-
I would suggest to you, Mr. Editor,
before you separate thex sheep from
tho goats, that you cast'a, casual
glance about you and seo hc it is
that are the offenders. If you wish to
learn whovare the "rough necks" and
tobacco users of the University of
Nebraska, cast your eyo along the
south walk, just outside the Univer
sity grounds, and sqo tho scores of
young men almost blocking the gate
ways that are smoking and otherwise
using tobacco, and then, sir, please tell
mo how many law men you see among
them? And let me pause here to
again remind you that those same
academics, lined up outside the fence,
frequently visit the third floor of Uni
versity Hall. I do not wish to be un
derstood as 'reflecting on any depart
ment of thouUnlvorslty, but wish only
to suggest that in your condemnation
of a filthy practice you include them
all. Respectfully,
P. P. O'GARA.

Fenlon Leaves.
Nebraska's greatest baseball fielder,
and one of her best all round athletes,
left Monday for Omaha. Penlon re
ported to Pa Rourke yesterday for tho
first practice, and we will know In a
short time what the famous Omaha
manager thinks of his new protege.
If Fenlon has no hard luck, so far as
injuries are concerned, he should be
one of the strongest hitters on the
Omaha team for the present season.
