Urges Value of Bible 8tudy From HIstoricaT Standpoint Mrs. Barber Also Speaks. At the special Convocation services yesterday morning, Chancellor An drews spoke to University girls upon the importance of religious work in connection with other studies. "Most of you," he said, "come from evangel ical families where you wore taught to pray and read the Bible. But when you come to college you seem to think that thots of religion, church, and God differ here. Such should not be the case. You should connect yourselves with organized Bible Study classes in the Y. W. C. A., as should the young men in the Y. M. C. A., whore oppor tunity is offered to do real, religious 'work. You gain good in these meet ings which does not end with your selves, but has importance for others. "One of the many benefits derived comes from the study of the Christian ScripturoB. Some people underesti mate the Bible, but it is deserving of lhe most reverent thot. The Bible is the greatest book In the world, andJ extracts from non-biblical books can not possibly como up to the Scrip tures.. The JBible-slandsafc tttehcrtdr of human literature; its poetry, prose and history being of the highest-value. Formerly students considered Latin and Greek as the important studies dealing with the ancient world as "a world of God. Now the Bible opens the window? of antiquity, for the book of Isaiah is contempbrary with the Iliad. Read the Bible not only for morality and religion, but for history and sympathy with the antique world," In conclusion, Dr. Andrews said, "There is danger of narrowness in tho Y. W. C. A. We must look beyond the confines of denominations and sects to the broadest thots. The work Is international and one of which wo are proud, yet many Christians do not choose to unite with It. Non-Christians are children of God as well as we and let us tryjto represent Christian ity truly and broadly."' Mrs. Barber of' Lincoln spoke .brief ly on the value of Bible and Mission Study work at our University. "Women are divided into two groups," she said, "First, industrial or factory girls, and; second, college or univer sity girls. Here is an opportunity of lnterminlstoring. Tho Y. W C. A. is, a part of the church work and girls must be equipped for service In the world. Bible Study comes as one of the best 'plans for proper life equip ment." .

White, Once Instructor In Physics at Nebraska. James Gilbert Whito, President of tho engineering firm, J. Q. Whlto & Company, of New "York and London, is tho Bubject of tho loading articlo in tho last issuo of Casslor's Magazlno, a leading engineering periodical. ThlB biographical skotch is ospoclally In teresting locally as Mr. Whlto was at ono tlmo on tho engineering fac ulty of tho Unlvorslty of Nebraska, and began his business careor as a " contractor in this stato. -! James Gilbert Whlto was born at Mllroy, Pa., in 18G1. In 1877, when ho " was 1G years of ago, he entered tho Pennsylvania Stato College, taking" a courso In arts, and graduating with tho degree of .A. B. in 1882. Aftor ro 'coiving tho degree of A. B., ho re turned to tho Pennsylvania Stato Col lego and concentrated his time upon civil engineering. in 1883 ho entered Lehigh Univer sity with' tho intention of studying mining engineering. Whllo there, and , during tjvuwjnter ;DfU8834884eJe-, came eBpoclalyintoroBted . Jn electrical investigations, and finally dotormlnor upon tnakipg electrical engineering-Ills life work. -, In 1884, Mr. White entorod upon bis final work as a student in collego ux . Cornell University, specializing in electrical engineering and physics. His work whllo at Cornell was highly ' gratifying and successful; in fact, ho ' " received a fellowship in electrcal on ,. gineorlng, followed by tho degree of Ph. D., conferred at the commence ment of 1885. Mr. White may bo Judged fortunate In having accepted, after his gradua tion "ffoTff Cornell, the position of in structor in physics In the University of Nebraska. It led him for two years to give his attention to what was, in a great part, a careful review of much of tho work ho iind gone over while In college, wlthho added value of tho constant suggestion which corned to the instructor from his contact with the' inquiring minds of the students. In tho spring of 1887 ho joined force's with others In originating the West ern Engineering Company. During his engineering experience Mr. White has supervised tho design and construction of a largo number of " power houses, both steam and water driven, as well as complete systems of track and overhead construction, bridges, electric light and railway distribution circuits, while a number of tho more Important installations have, received his personal attention. Among these may be mentioned the Buffalo-Niagara Falls Street Railway, and the transmission lino, from Niaga ra Falls to Buffalo. The' former was built In 1895, and was ono. 6f tho first high-speed interurban lines in America. It is believed to have been the first road to use the four motor equipment with series multiple con trol now so commonly adopted for in- '', ." . teruruan service,, (Continued on Pago 3.) -"J 0 i .
