torifJe Dr.,Ward in Room 306.
Tbo departments of Zoology and
'Entomology will soon have more com-
fortabto 'quarters when the remodel
ing, is finished on the interior of the
aeconft-and third floors of Nebraska
Hall.'TJr.' Ward's ofllco will bo whero
Frofeseor Barbour's was previous to
the. rembval of tho- Department of
Geology to tho now Museum. The
whole second floor of Nebraska Hall
is to bo turned over to the Zoological
Dopartment Tho old museum room
jsUl 0 divided into three roomB. On
the north aide-is to bo a largo histo
logical and ombryologlcal laboratory.
The south Bide of tho old Museum
room "will bo conyorted4 into a room
for tho stury of Invertebrates and ver
tebrates, and a small research labora
tory for graduate students. Between
these sections in tho middle a largo
space will be left which will bo a
preparation room with the exception of
,a smalt section to bo usod as a private
laboratory for instructors.
It is tho intention to movo the
Zoological Department library into tho
south room which has been so long
known as tho Zoological Laboratory.
This room is well lighted by an abun
dance of window cpaco which is a
feature, that; wil bo much appreciated
by tho bo who have had to endure tho
poor light In, tho old library. There
will be a Boction of the old Geological
Laboratory reserved for a private re
search room.
The spacious room in the southwest
corner of the second floor,, which was
used as a Geological laboratory is to
be fitted up for another zoological lee
.turo room. Plastering has already
boon completed on this room, as also
lAit&evrpom which will be Dr. Ward's
office.;' A doorway has been cut thru
the north wall of tho new Jecture
room giving adcess to the room which
is now tho departmental library. This
will eventually be used as a depart
ment store room and private research
laboratory. The stairway leading to
tho balcony of the old Museum room
is to be taken out, the -balcony floor
is to, be extended across (he open
space' in tho middle, and this end of
' the thjrd floor will be usod by tho
Department of Entomology, which has
been especially cramped for room.
The .space will be divided into three
rooms.
All tho rooms are to be replastered
and the woodwork revarnlshed so that
an airf of newness will pervade and
mako , tho quarters much more attrac
tive than they are at present. It Is
hoped to havo tho work completed
withlm a short time. So far the work
or plastering, done by a large force of
men, has been very rapid, the office
being' finished inBlde -of forty-eight
, hours. Before putting tho partitions
in the old Museum-room it will be-neo-
essaryto take out a few cases which
will probably be usod in tho "now

'A TRACK TEAM MEETING.
Necessity of the Attendance of Every
Man Interested.
Last Thursday tho proposed meet
ing of track candidates failed to bo
what It is desired this sort of a gath
ering should bo. Dr. Clapp feels It an
absolutely essential matter that all
mon who aro to do any training what
sovor this spring, should put in an ap
pearance. Tho last meeting was a
failure because of tho hour for which
it was sot; it conflicted with 11:30
classes. A last and final attempt Is to
bo mado next Friday to get all track
men together and In order that no
classes may interfere tho hour has
been sot for 11 o'clock in the Armory.
Track work in othor schools Is in
a much more advanced stage than it is
here, and Nebraska stands in dangor
of making a poor showing for the year
unless hard work Is undertaken. The
first meet with Ames occurs three
weeks from today.

IOWA 8TUDENT8
May be Eliminated From Athletic
Board.
Report, has It that Iowa Is to fol
low tho example set by tho Unlvorsity
of Chicago last winter and abolish stu
dent representation -on tho athletic
board. Last winter a movement was
started at Iowa, for tho reform of tho
athletic i union so that tho studonrt
mombers of tho athletic board of con
trol should more nearly represent stu
dent' sentiment. This movement Is
now likely to prove a boomerang and
cause tho elimination of all student
participation in tho management of
athletic teams and tho assumption of
this power by tho faculty. This would
be a radical move as Iowa students
have always had a voice in the man;
agoment of their athletics.

DANIEL WEBSTER
PROFE880R FORD ON THE LIFE
OF THE GREAT ORATOR.
His Statesmanship His Truthfulness
His Aspirations and Failures
His 8ervlce.
Professor Danlol Ford spoko in a
very entertaining way upon "Danlol
WobBtor" at tho Friday Convocation,
treating his" subject in a comprehen
sive way and cpnsldoring .Webster as
lawyer, statesman, diplomat, orator
and man. v&
Born in southern Now Hampshire of
Revolutionary stock in 1782, Danlol
Webster spent his early years in pov
erty. His' eldor brothors and. sisters
wore born in a log cabin with no
white settlements nearer than tho
Canadian borders. Because of his
promising intellect ho was Bent to
school at Exotor and then to Dart
mouth, whoro ho graduated in 180L
Ho first studied law in his father's
ofllco, later wont to Boston' and in
Portsmouth, Now Hampshire, was ad
mitted to- the bar. In 1813 ho was
elected to Congress, practised law in
both state and federal courts. Ho
was mado secretary of state by Har
rison in 1841. Under many presidents,
his public lifo lasted about forty years.
As a lawyer, his progress was rapid,
altho hlB attitude was somotnos over
bearing, harsh and unceremonious.
He possessed however, a flowery style.
His worthy antagonist, Jeremiah Ma
son, talked more simply, always as
man to man. In tho criminal case of
tho murder of White, Webster showed
with powerful eloquence how crime
is revealed kby conscience. A guilty
soul cannot keep its own secret which
becomes master of him and betrays
him. Suicide is then a confession, he
declared. '
State cases took second place to
constitutional caBes in tho federal
court whero ho was at his best Tho
bigger, tho question, tho better ho liked
it. Hero he showed knowledge of con
stitutional law and a great breadth of
application. Altho a Whig politician,
ho was not a party man In tho ex
treme senso pf the word. Ho was a
friend of labor' and proud of his de
scent from the farmer class. In 1830,
after his reply to JIayne, Webster
aspired to the presidency.
Most stress should be laid upon his
statesmanship and oratory,, not so
much for what ho did as for the in
fluence which lived on later. in the
North at the time of the Civil War.
Ho preached union and acted for the
future' as well as for tho present In
1817 he showed hlinself master of tho
financial question and in sixty or sev
enty stump speeches on, currency ho
won the namo of master of tho sub
ject , In the subject of, protection,
however, ho showed a little inconsis
tency. Ho feared that if "free trade
was- brought about, tho manufactures
of Ne.w England would suffer,' fJf t e
On tho states rights question, ho
believed' ttiat the Union was greater
than tbo states. " The tfplonwaspj a
league from which tho, sUtea' might
withdraw, but a. government for and
