"The old -problem of selecting a
football coach for Nebraska haB come

dispute as to whether tho man selected

tho Athletic Board to John, Bonder.

AN ENGINEER REPLIE8.
In reply to ttie editorial appearing
in Wednesday's Nebraskan under the
caption, "Why Put It Off?" tho follow
ing communication has reached tho
hands of tho editor:
VIn an odltorlal entitled 'Why Put
Tt Off?' tho Nobraskan upheld tho
Rhetoric department in its require
ments of Junior and Senior themes,
expressing tho view that the themes
had a highly cultural influence.
"It is true that the benefits of a
theme depend upon tho work put in
on it, but from observation It Is equal
ly true that no one will put any more
work than Is. absolutely 'necessary on
something for which ho gets no crodit
arid which does not even arouse a
passing spark oV interest; A Unlver-
alty student 1b supppsed, to bo 'ablo
to judge for himself' what''studles' will
benefit him most and does not need
a prescription of studies as exorcised
In flFforlmary 'school.
-.. '
"If tho .'cultural' studies are losing
out to tho Industrial School and fig
ures will show lhat tho entire increase
of registration outside of tho Farm
occurred In tho Industrial Schools-it
soeins to show that tho demand of the
times Is not for the literary -man, or
olso lhat thoro is something wrong
with tho 'cultural' dopartmentfl.
"Furthermore,. why should not the
other departments require a number
of mathomtalcal,, physical, chemical,
or other problems to be worked out all
along with equal Justice? Why should
an engineering treatise, for instance,
bo submitted to a person who does riot
know the first principles of engineer
ing and cannot, thoroforo, Judge of the
correct uso of the words Involved?
"C. E.. '07."
In answer to our correspondent, we
have Just a few words on the pofnts
ho hns raised. In tho first place, the
Junior and Senior themes are not
primarily requirements of the Rhetoric
department, but rather of tho Unlver-
Lslty, and are Incorporated as such In
the University calendar.
The second point our correspondent
raises we believe to bo thoroly refuted
by tho very recent action of tho Re
gents in cutting down olectlves and
malting a much larger percentage of
every course required than was for
morly thoctts This thejr did In the
very evident Ixjjlof that a University
student Is not supposed to'bo ablo to
Judge tot himself what studies will
benefit him Tmost and that he does
need a prescription of studies, at least
to somo extent.
Wo do not wlBb to deny, nor do we
think It necessarily to be deplored,
that the tendency in our modern high
er education Is more and more toward
never before showed
510
MORE?
the practical bread-winning training.
But we do maintain that there Is a
limit beyond which specialization
should not go if a man is to be broad
minded. He should bo able at least
to appreciate the literature of his con
temporaries and it ia here that we be
lieve theme writing is of value. We
believe that conscientious work on
this point and no other work Is ever
worth while will bo of real value to
any man from tho literary standpoint.
Finally, we desire to bring to the
attention of our "engineering friend
that technically engineering training
lsjlemanded of the student in the Col
lege of Literature, Science and the
Arts in a greater number of hours
than is rhetorical training required of
tho engineers. This may bo verified
by a reference to tho published list
of required subjects In tho, University
Calendar, or by consultation with the
Registrar.

now ties or a hat, Just drop In and

Botany Lab. Room Needed.
Tho question of providing laboratory
room for all the students of botany
has become an exceptionally pressing
one. During the past few years tho
number of students perusing tho sub
ject of botany has greatly Increased
until In the present semester there aro
at the University and State Farm 320
students registered in this science.
Over 200 of these aro at. the Univer
sity alone, and ,each Is carrying from
4 to 15 hours of laboratory worlc. On
account of this excessive number and
the lack of sufficient laboratory faclK
ltles tho Instructors and assistants
are constantly perplexed in their ef
forts to arrange hours and provide ac
commodlatlon for all.

ment is turned In at onco. Card will
