A New Collection, Containing Pictures by-Chase; Ochtman, and Vannoh Highly Praised Open April 27. Unlveralty students arc soon to have an opportunity to see a collection of original. paintings and water color drawings whose excellence is vouched for by MJbs Hayden and all those who " have seen this exhibit at a previous time. The exhibit consisting of nearly a hundred pictures by .the most promi nent modern artists, such as William M. Chase, Leonard Ochtman, and Rob ert Vannoh, has been recently ex hibited at Kansas City, where the press was enthusiastic over its general qual ity, and also at Lawrence, where it attracted a great 'deal of attention. The general appreciation was evi denced by the fact that at these placeB several of the pictures were bought for private collections, among these being the famous "Blue Haze," by Mi8B Parker, who is remembered by many in local art circles. Mrs. James H. Canfleld, who "has been devoting , hqrsejf largely to art since leaving Lincoln, is also one of the contributors to tho exhibit. The tabiety-nlne pictures are of many typos and cover a wide range of subjects. There are portraits, water color drawings, landscapes and sea views. Besides the collection of pictures trom New York, the exhibit will include a few paintings by lo'cal artiste and a china exhibit arranged by Mrs. Brock. . ' Tho the collection does not arrive till "W.edjxesday of next week, arrange inentskhave been made for tho speedy opening and hanging of the pictures, and it is hoped that the art gallery can bo thrown open to visitors Satur day evening, April 27. The art exhibits hold hero in tho past always have boon vory success ful and this ono, sinco it is said to contain a larger and better collection of paintings than any preceding ex hibit,, undoubtedly will be a complete " success. As the exhibition has givon such satisfaction at both Lawrence and Kansas' City, it is probable that the circuit plan will be made permanent. Musical Program. .

The following communication was written at tho request of the Nobras kan by Professor B. E. Mooro, of the department of Physics, now studying his specialty in Gottlngon: Gottlngen, March 25, 1907. To The Nebraskan: Tho "cut .faces" are out of town. Hence if 1 am to converse with stu dents I shall have to do so thru tho NobraBkan. Two semesters have passed in "old Gottlngen" and four weeks hence bo gins my third and last. 1 am already counting tho time until tho return to Nebraska. Thero are great privileges here to be sure and ono feels that It is good to touch the Intellectual at mosphere and spirit of these Germans now and then. Knowledge, science, truth pursued as an end, not as a means. It is a Gorman professor's business to spend his life probing into depths unknown, and to give his knowledge, and, more, his spirit to a select few who have advanced far enough to have an Intelligent appre ciation of what ho is doing. Oh, could we only transplant to our institutions some of tholr spirit! But that says it all. America has escaped many things European; and may she always bo free. Americans have reasons to think that their land is the only coun try. Possibly good Germans should feel the same way, and many of them do, as I have reason to k.now from Intercourse with them. For have I not been told by German professors when trying to explain some phase of our Institutions that they would not live In such a country. Have I not labored hard to impress German students with the freedom of America and have them sneorlngly remark, "Free country! and can't get a glass of beer on Sunday!" I am in "old Gottlngen," as above noted. There is a thriving American colony of students hero. Records go back as far as 1850. 1 find three No braskans hero .before mo, viz., Chan cellor Andrews, Dean Ward and Ex professor Lyon. Tho "land marks" are tho same as of t)ld, tho same old promenade on "the wall" with Its lindens, tho same easily accessible hills, peaks and forests. A charming place for combined Bummer work and outings! Winter's Joys are only "Sang und Klang," but it is a most excellent time to rid oneself of routine work. In Germany, tho young man who has finished his 'gymnasium education and will go to tho university, selects firstly the subject which ho will study. Next he finds out whero tho men fa mous In this line aro located.

Tho green hats aro far too conspicu ous to bo safely worn on tho Unlvor slty campus. This was amply demon strated In an nrdont but good-naturod clash of lower classmen at olovon o'clock yostorday morning. A vory "rash and venturesomo" freshman was seen wearing his colors Just north of tho Main Hall and was immediately pounced upon by a sturdy sophomore and deprived of his hat. Immediately the sky seemed to rain loyal freshmen, and enthusiastic sophomores began to pour from no ono know whore. It was not long until an Inoxtrlcablo tanglo of humanity was swaying back and forth before the greenhouses, with tho offending hat as tho "bone of conten tion." The numbers of tho factions seemed quite evenly matched and all were as genial as they woro zealous. After tho hat had been drawn and stretched out Into Innumerable shapes and lengths, a first-year nian succeed ed in concealing it undor his coat und running with It as far as the odgo of tho athletic Hold before ho was over taken and "tackled." Hero the hat was Btrotched out to such length that some dozen or more of tho boys man aged to got their "grabbers" on It, when there followed a real tugging match until tho folt sovorod In tho middle. There was a wild scramblo for tho pieces and tho combatants re peatedly sprawled in tho dust. Somo of the sophomores who felt thomselvoB unable to retain tholr hold, gnawod off pieces of the felt as It slipped from tholr grasp. In this way tho hat was quite generally .distributed among tho second yoar men, but tho largest piece was nevertheless carriod off in tho di rection of tho Northwostorn depot by a fleet-footed freshman. A total absonco of ill-fooling charac terized tho struggle. 'There was plonty of tugging, pulling, and considerable clapper-clawing, but no slugging. Sov oral sophomores have boon heard to complain of the freshmen's Ill-trimmed flngernailB, while tho froshmon aro content to talk of what they would havo dono had circumstances been just a trifle different. The summed-up re sults, however, aro moroly tho loss of a few fountain pons, several small patcheB of epidermis, and tho Water loo of a freshman hat.

Clapp to Help Decide on Future Championship Meets The Meet . May Come to Lincoln. The University gymnastic team, consisting of Johnson, Kiossolbach and Mitchell, will go to Holdrego on Fri day of this wook and glvo an exhibi tion thoro. On Saturday, tho twenty Bovonth, they Will perform at tho Y. M. C. A. exhibition horo In Lincoln, and lutor they may go to Grand Island to give a benefit exhibition for tho Gran'd Island College Athlotic Association, At tho recent annual business moot ing of the WoBtorn IntercoJlQglato Gymnastic Association, Dr. R. 6. Clapp was olccted president; Dr. I. 0. Elsom of Wisconsin, vice-prosidont; Dr. J. E. Raycroft of Chicago, socro tary; Dr. J.' T. Cook of MinnoBota, treasurer. It was doclded to drop tho long horse from tho program, leaving on tho list of events for competition tho horizontal and parallol bars, tho side horse, tho flying rings and tum bling. A commlttoo consisting of Angol and" Dr. Clapp was appointed to tako up tho question of a uniform standard for all apparatus, as rogards tho height of BUBpenBlon of the flying rings and the width between the parallol bars, for Instance. Thoy woro alBd instruct ed to consider tho matter of scoring for the team championship. In tha past this has beon decided, by placo. scoring In tho different events,, first placo counting five, second placo, throo and third, ono, but tho Amatour Ath lotic Union scores on the basis of the Judges' scoring of tho men in all events whether they win a placo or not. This is thought by many to bo a more Just and satisfactory plan. Un der this method tho teams aro limited to six men. Drs. Cook, Raycroft and Clapp woro mude a committee to tako up tho ques tion of the location of the noxt con test and to consider tho advisability of holding tho championship meet In rotation at tho different universities which aro members of tho association. If this plan should bo adopted, it is probable that the net meet will bo held at1 Madison, next year, at Lincoln the following, next at Minnesota, and then Chicago again. Owing, to lack of' pqulpment and in ability to advertise tho meet Bufllcleht ly the track preliminaries havo been postponed until a week from Friday; April 2G.
