THE ART EXHIBIT
MANY PAINTINGS WILL BE SHOWN
AT ART GALLERY 800N.
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.

LETTER FROM GERMANY.
Professor Moore Writes of College Life'
at Gottlngen.
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. His

Lower Classmen Struggle for a Fresh
man Hat.
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.
Quartermuster-Borgoant Rlnakor has
been making a tour of various cities
of the state to secure Inducements for
tho location of the cadet encampment
