Formation of big Five strong-
LY CONSIDERED.
Nebraska May Join Other Missouri
Valley Institution in Compre
hensive Athletic Organization.
ebraskaonay become a member of
un athletic organization which will be
to the Missouri vulley colleges and
universities what th(T"HIg Nine" is
thruaut the middle states; This pos
sibility is the result o fa meeting of
the representatives of the Missouri
Valley institutions which was held at
Kansas City last Saturday and at
which a form of organization was ten
tatively proposed. Final action has
not been tarken In the matter, how-
ver, and the ratification by the Alh-
leticBoard of all conditions proposed
will beheeessary before Nebraska of
ficially Joins the new "Big Five."
The movement to secure the forma
tipn-'of the conference- is'nof a new
r.u:e and at short hlslory" of the agltu
tlo'i.nieh led to last Saturday's meet
ing may be of interest. About a year
iigb-Dr. Hetherlngtou, athletic, dhee
tor o the Unlverei'v of 'Missouri,
wrote letters, to th-j presidents l ih
more prominent., universities of the
Missouri Valley, asking their opinion
at. to the advisability ofaormlng a con
ference "somewhat slmillar to 4he B-E
Nine among, tjiolr respective sejicydri
and suggesting actfon inward sue'li an.
et;d.
For some reason, however, this
effort came to nothing and nothing
further -was done until ,last fall;when.
an agitation was stnrtea uy-itansas
fpr a general agreement among the
southwestern colleges on eligibility
when Missouri seconded this and St.
Louis University also manifested great
interest. Cochens, the St. Louis coach,
.was especially active In attempting to
bring aibout a conference at St. Louis
or Kanstoft.-Cljty.
The ld,ea..qf.a possible league, and
especially of a common agreement
imon eligibility, steadily grew In favor
and by agreement between Kansas
and Missouri It was decided that a
meeting should bo held at'lf.ansas City
January 12, 1907, and that represent
atives from the leading- colleges of
this section be Invited.
. Nebraska Athletic Board, while de
cidedly nocommlttaj as to whether It
would enter the league or not, decided
to send Captain Worklzer as a repre
sentative to the conference, but did
not give him power ,to act. Delegates
from Iowa, 'Kansas; Missouri, Wash
Ihgton and Nebraska met at the ap
pointed time' and virtually formed a
league- yhlch Is to have the same
objects and governing powers In the
Missouri Valley In the Big Nino at
Chicago.
Tentative rules in regard to elig
ibility arid tlie., conduct, of .Jntercolle-;
glate athletic contests 'wore drawn up.
These are mucn aiong vuiu imu- .
those of -the Big Nine but are not
quite so radical. A , conference, tracK
"y-v'r .meet of .the-five schools was pro'
', ;f v,v "posed for next Bpring and will pfob-
'$p ' ubly. be carried thru should the, qr-
'-;v' -- ganlzatlon'1 materialize, ; Iowa will' re-

and ail the members will be governed
by the ruleB of the league only when
they meet other members of the con
ference. What Nebraska's action in regard to
this niatter will be, It Is Impossible
to state. Captain Worklzer favors
membership liu the organization, be
lieving that if It does us no great good
It will at least do usno harm. The
matter will probably be acted upon at

DELIVER8 ADDRE8S ON HIGHER
EDUCATION.
Discusses the Hauptmann Dramas In
Afternoon Talks on Goethe's
"Faust" In Evening.
"Hlghor Education" was tho sub
ject of an nddreSs yesterday morning
at Convocation by Prof. Rudolph
Tombo of Columbia University. In
comparing conditions In Gormany and
America we find our own country far
behind. Only four 6T our universities
may bo styjetl as coming anywhere
near the desired standard in having
theology, philosophy, law and medicine
In their courses, and theso are Yale,..
Chicago, Harvard, aiTd Northwestern
We still have much to learn, for tho
Germans hold much loftier Vequlrc
ments thnn we do; Very few Gormn
students have studied In simply one
institution and the promising ones
migrate to other institutions. A con
stant interchange of professorship
would be benoflchil here as well.
Professor Tombo Is making a tour
thru tho West visiting thd various uni
versities and colleges In the interests
of hlghei education. While at Nebras
ka lie delivered two lectures on tho
German drama, one on Hnuptmau's
"Stipken Boll" mid the other on
Goethe's !faust."
Tho Hnuptman lecture, given nt 5
o'clock In University Hall, wub; dc-'
spite tho Inclement wother, well at
tended by both faculty members antK
students, It whs one of the most "com
prehensive, addresses of Us kind ever
glyon at 'thof.ynlveWlty nng seemed(
'to .bo appreciated accordingly. '-?
In discussing Huuptmann's. phlloso-.-..
phy, Professor Tombo said that its
symbolic idealism was duo primarily
to the reactionary. Btress -movement.
prevalent throughout Europe' during
tho last half ot tho eighteenth and
early nineteenth centuries.
"There 'Is thruout all his plays," said , '
tho ' professor; "tho phllosonVy of -brotherhood,
a heartfelt sympathy for
J his fellow men. Indeed, this Is the
T . "... . . j : O '
Keynote of nis dramas. And in spito
of their many crudities, It is this phil
osophy which makes his works of per
manono yalue." "
. Before discussing the "Sunken Bell,"
Professor Tombo gave a brief account
of the two plays which proceded It '
'The Weavers" and "Lonely Lives."
The drama "Ionoly Lives)" said Ho,
was clos.ejy related In many particulars
to the ''Sunken, Bell," both ' of which -show
the great influence of Ibsen upon
the young German dramatist. In botli
jiauptniann, ilea)s with the' same
theme, spiritual truth, and In both tho -
ending is the same, suicide.
n
Prom tho viewpoint of .dramatic con"
slruction, "Tho Sunken Bell'' Is dl
most perfect.. Its situations are in .. '
every Instance supremely dramatic, its
diction stiperb.dnd'lts characterization'"
superior to that of' any btHer HaUpt
man production, " ' l ' ,'
And not tonly from- a dramatic i point' ,
of view Is It a success, but oJsV as w
a' closotf play. OVer sixty etlltlohs -of' . '
