U. OF N. CLUB BANQUET.
Dean Pound at Chicago Before Alum
ni Association There.
The following taken from a Chicago
paper gives an account of the Uni
versity of Nebraska Club's banquet
hold .at the Victprla last Thursday
evening:
"The commercial spirit which has
made great strides thruout the coun
try, so much so that in past years it
has been customary for academic bred
men to apologize for their learning
when they rose to address an audience,
has risen and fallen. And in every
walk of life the man of academic train
ing has been sought as the means of
rescue."
In this vein Itoscoo Pound, Dean of
the Law School of the University of
Nebra'ska, at the first annual ban
quet of the Chicago Alumni Associa
tion of that institution, placed in dis
repute the theory that a "business ed
ucation and training" is sufllcient for
a successful man of today.
"Men of academic training are be
ing elected as railroud chiefs," he suid.
"The "self-made lawyers who thought
they could satisfy the needs of justice
have tried, and gloomy was their fail
ure. The iicademic trained lawyer
Is taking his place. We called in the
academic trained men, the chemists,
and showed Mr. Business Man thut he
was a failure. Today the era of com
mercialism stands discredited every
where." Dean Pound came us a substitute
for Chuncellor E. Benjamin Andrews,
who is ill at his residence In Lincoln,
Neb. The banquet which was held a:
the Victoria hotel, wus attended by
seventy-five alumni. David L. Killen
was toaBtmaster. Frank G. Bruner,
imyslologolcal expert of the Chicago
board of education delivered a humor
ous toast on "Brain Storms." Other
speakers were W. H. Manss, Mrs C.
E. Humlston, Philip J. Maguire, H. H.
Nicholson and Harry A. Reese.
Chicago students will give a play In
the. new ''world language," Esperanto,
within a few weeks.

, ,-... SATURDAY, MAY 4
A 80CIAL EVENING.
Junior-Senior Reception Preases All
Who Attend.
The 'Juniors feel especially elated
over the unqualified succoss of the
Junior-Senior reception held In Mem
orial Hall last Saturday evening. There
were about two-hundred present, and
the Seniors declare that in spite of
the fact that among this number wore
some dozen or more "butt-lnskiea,"
from the ranks of the lower clussmon,
the evening was thoroly enjoyed by
all.
The matter of getting everyono ac
quainted with everyone else was ac
complished by labelling each individ
ual with a tag bearing his name, which
method rendered Introductions 'horoly
informal and democratic. When all
wore duly labelled the vouhg men were
furnished with "chat programs," and
soon the room was u-buzz with the dis
elisions of such live, up-to-date topics
us "Washington's Inauguration" nnd
"Freshman Hats." As conversation be
gan to lag, the couples could bo seen
one by one strolling to the tents of
tho Gypsy fortune-tellers, where they
took an Inquisitive peep Into the fu
ture, tor the utmost satisfaction of
some and the profound disappointment
of others.
Both vocal and piano music of u
high class formed part of the program.
Ice was served later In the ovenlng,
after which the hall was cleared for
dancing, and tho hast hour or two was
given up to an Informal dance.
P. B. K. Inltatlon.
The Inltatlon and dinner for those
recently elected to Phi Beta Kappn
will occur at the homo of Mrs. A. J.
Sawyer, Seventeenth and G street
next Thursday ovenlng. Tho inltatlon
will take place at 6 o'clock, this, to bo
followed by the dinner. Dean Davis
makes the address of t welcome to
which a response will be made by a
member of the Senior delegation. Fol
lowing this several members of the
acuity will speak.
Class baseball is to be introduced at
Purdue this year.

ANOTHER GAME Off
NEBRA8KA AND MINNE80TA WILL
NOT PLAY FOOTBALL.
Nebraska Still 8hys at Conference
Rules and Gophers Cannot
Play under Other Rules.
Altho no (ifllciul announcement has
been made, It Is cortaln that Minne
sota will cancel tho football game
which Is scheduled to bo pKiyod with
Nobruska at Mlnoupolls October JO.
The thing which will lead the
Gophors to take such action is the rul
ing adopted by tho representatives of
the "Big Nnlno" Conferpnce at Chi
cago recently which banished Michi
gan from the organization on account
of tho refusal of the Wolverines to
accede to tho same rules which had ' '
led tho Cornhuskers to cancell dates
with Wisconsin and Iowa rather than
to accede to them.
It Is more than 'possible that the
rules adopted by tho conference, which
prohibit contests with tennis' that will
not comply in full with conference
regulations? will result In the with
drawal of some of tho remaining mem
bers of the organization. Minnesota
is already shying at the rules, and a
concerted refusal of several of the
organization might bring about a re
traction of the rules. The rule which
hns aroused most of the trouble rouds
as follows:
"Resolved, That no conference col
lege shall engage in athletic contests
with uny non-conference institution
of a similar class that is, one which
competes with any member of , the
conference on a basis of athletic equul-
ity exbept under 'tlio conference rules
of eligibility." "
Before this rule wus ado'p'oti by the
conference, Iowa and Wisconsin had
refused to play the games which hitil
been scheduled with' the CornhuskoVs
unless the latter agreed to play ,1m
der a strict interpretation of tho con
ference regulations. NebraBku object
ed to tho "A. B." rule and tho. three
year eligibility rule, and the Nebraska
athletic board adopted u flat-footed
Y,,. ... ., .
resolution wuicn directed mat no
gumes should be scheduled by the ath
letic manager, which would preclude
the participation in contests with other
teams of athletes eligible except for
the provisions of the rules which the
badgers and hawkeyos had insisted
upon. Following this action by the
Nebraska board the Wisconsin end
Iowa, games were cancelled, nnd It Is
now difficult to figure out how cither
Nebraska or Minnesota can meet in
view of the contradictory regulattonb
that would havo to be considered in
drawing up a contract for tho game,
which has not yet ben done.
'"Manager Eager is carrying on ne
gotiations with Michigan and has high
hopes of getting the Wolvorines. to fill
the date in the Nebraska schedule
which Minnesota's withdrawal will
leave vacant. Colorado already has
consented to play here October 26,
taking the date which Iowa was to
have, played with the Cornhuskqrs. ,
T. R. Hollingsworth, '08, ha's been
compelled to leave school for the, rest,
of this semester on "account of Mines.
