IS NEBRA8KA INTERESTED? .
Some tlnio ago there appeared in tho
Dally Nobrnskan an article urging tho
starting of a movement In tho Univer
sity of Nobraska, and ultimately U
include tho Universities of the world,
for the propagation of a universal
peace. Thoro was no response to that
.appeal and it is not surprising, as tho
thing was yet vague and seemed to
offer no real compensation or reward.
Tho subject may well bo brought up
again in another form.
The "Nobel Peace Prize" is to be
awarded on December 10, 15)07. Is tho
University of Nobraska, as a represen
tative of the United States, Interested
in an effort to obtain that prize?
This prize was Instituted in tho year
THE NOBEL PRIZES.
The Nobol Peace Prize, an announce
ment of which is published in today's
Nebrasknn, is of sufficient Importance
to merit a brief history of its founda
tion and an explanation of its pur
poses. In 1900, Alfred Nobol, the inventor
of dynamite, provided in his will for
the founding of a fund to bo known
ns the Nobel Prize Fund and to be
used for the' oncourngoment of science
and literature and International peace.
Tills encouragomont was to bo offered
In the form of medals and cash prizes
awarded by a committoo of scholars
hired for that, express purpose. Tho
fund, which consisted of soveral mil
lions of dollars, was to bo placed in
tho hands of the Norwegian parlia
ment, which body should invest it as
It should see fit. Tho revenues re
sulting trom these Investments wore
to be oxpended annually according to
the plan laid down by Mr. Nobel.
Slnco the founding of tho fund
twenty-three prizes, ropresontlng ovor
ono million of dollars, havo boon
awarded. Of this number four have
fallen to German scholars, four to
French and four to English. Swiss stu
dents hnve succeeded in carrying off
three of the honors, the Dutch two,
and those of Russia, Donmark, Swe
den, Norway and Spain one.
It is interesting to noto in this con
nection the absence of American
names from the roll of honor. Altho
tho Held of research Is broad, Includ
ing as It does tho sciences of physics,
chemistry and medicine, and literature
and peaco, not a single American
scholar has succeeded In gaining a
place on the lists of the honored prizemen.

versal peaco" Ideas throughout tho na
tions of tho world.

tho contost aro UnLvorsity professors
of Political Science and Law, History

Tho Nobel peaco prlzo may also bo
accorded to institutions and associa
tions. In tho years past this peaco prize
has been awarded to men from. Swit
zerland and England. Tho other No
bel" prized for scientific and lltorary
work havo been awarded to represen
tatives of Franco, Gormnny, England,
and Holland,
Along tho line of our immediate at
tention viz.: Peace Is tho United
State's, tho colossal examplo of do
mocrapy to tho world, not worthy of
recognition?
Is thoro not some one in this Uni
versity, either professor or representa
tive, who lg willing to undertake tho
formulation of a policy of universal
Why is this? Is it because we havo
no men worthy to stand with those
scholars of Europe? Or Is tho Old
World slow to recognize the achieve
ments of tho Now? It may bo that our
national modesty mis doterred us from
pushing our clainin or that our scien
tific achievements cdmmonBurate with
tho equipment of our laboratories.
Whatever the cause may bo, It does
not appear that sufficient .effort has
been mndo in this country to seo that
propor nominations are made with tho
necessary backing. In European coun
tries nomination blanks' aro Indorsed
with iu united offort by' loarned asso
ciations and collogcs and every stu
dent is koonly alert to any opportunity
which may enable him to compoto for
a prize. It Is to bo hopod that a sim
ilar spirit will bo manifested by Amor
Icnn students in tho near futuro and
that they show the honors and bene
that thoy share tho honors and bene
fits provided by tho late Norwegian
pliilanthrophist.
It Is encouraging to romember that
the late Dr. Edgren, formerly profes
sor of Romantic Languages and Liter
ature in tho University of Nobraska,
was a member of tho awarding com
mittee of tho Nobel Prize Fund at the
tmo of his death three years, ago.
