Secretary
Address
Delivers Strong
Sunday.
Charles D. Hurry, International
Sccrotary.of the Y. -M. C. A., spoke
to a meeting of about two hundrod
students In Memorial Hall Sunday af
ternoon. His address was two-fold in
Gjinractor, urging tho necessity of a
strong, pure Christian life ami th
Importance of IHble study,
Mr. Hurry gave a strong, practical
talk, appealing principally to the rea
son. He showed that some decision
as to the character of his life Is nec
essary on the part of the student
when he enters college In his appeal
Mr. Hurry spoke of homo ties, and
showed that a successful college ca
reer requires a clean moral life.
Tho inpqtlng was so successful last
Sunday afternoon that thq Y. M. C. A.
cabinet. Is considering holding, such a
meeting eveiy Sunday. It is hoped
that the support of the student body
will bo such that these meetings will

A FINE BUILDING.
Temple Nicely Decorated and Well
Constructed.
Those who have boon fortiuutp
enough, during the last few days,, to1
see lhe Interior of the new temple
have been Improssed, not only by the
skill shown in the arrangement of the
rooms, but also by the taste and
beauty or the decorations. The build
ing is being finished thruout In an
tique oak' with the exception of the
floors, which are hard maple.
The theatre is nearly completed and
the seats will be put In place in a
1 short time. When finished It will be
one of the coziest little theatres In the
west. The architect has 'arranged for
all the Intest appliances used in shift
ing scenery, and has provided dress
ing rooms In the" wings. The host
feature, however, is that tho theatre
Is absolutely sate so far as lire is
concerned. The main stairways start
but a few feet from the entrance. At
the rear, surrounded by brick walls,
Is a broad stairway leading to tho
street. Uy this means tho risk of try
ing to take a panlc-strlckon crowd
down a narrow Iron laddor on tho out
side of the building Is avoided. Wire
lath are used entirely around this
.stairway. The boiler room, as a fur
ther precaution, Is placed outside of
the building at the rear.
On tho main Moor are the largo
rooms or the Y M. C. A. and tho Y.
W. C. A. They are nearly completed
and will bo ready for occupancy in a
few days.
Oh jthe second Hoot Is a large lec
ture room which will accommodate,
easily,' two hundred people. Two
large reception rooms are al?o oh this

I Acting Chancellor ('. 10. Mossey de
livered tho opening address of the
(school year before a large crowd lu
.Mcniorl.il Hall Saturday morning. The
iMldri'Hs, tho subject of which was
"The World's Creates! Hotnnlsi," rI-
I lows In part:
! "Two hundred years njo the great
Swedish botanist. Linnonus, or as I
J prefer to call him, Llnuo, was horn,
i ami this, year throuuhoui the world
scientific men have been celebrating
tin bicentenary by memorial meetings,
addresses an. I appropriate ceremonies.
Ii Is fitting that the University or
Nebraska should take part in these
celebrations, and therefore I ask you
to Join me in a brief consideration of
the life and labors or 'The World'A
Cieatesl liotanist.'
"Llnne was born May 23. 1707. Ills
education began, when, as u mere
child, scarcely four years old, lie over
heard his elders discoursing 'ijjion
' plants and their properties. At once
i ho began eagerly asking his father to
tell him the names, the qualities, and
the nature of every plant ho saw. At
six he wiib placed under a prlvao
tutor; at ton he entered a trivial
school of Woxlo, ii town nearby, anil
at seventeen ho -entered the gymna
sium at Woxlo, whore he remained
three years. At twonty-lhreo years
he was made a lecturer at the Uni
versity of Upsala though not yet. ..
gi'aduute.. .
"It was during this time that ho
began work on four of his notable
bookB, namely, 'Ulbllothocu Hotanlcn,'
'Classes Plantarum,' 'Crltlca Uotan
lea, and 'Oonera plantarum.' iater
h travoled In Denmark, Holland, Ger
many, England and France. The first
of his great publications was tho
'Systoma Naturae which uppearod lu
1735, and the next year he published,
the 'Fundnmenta Uotanica.' In 1737
ho published one ofblsgroatcst works
tinder the title of 'Genera Planta
rum.' " f
"What did ho contribute to tho sci
er.co of botany? Appearing upon tho
scone so closely following tho groat
master, Toumefort, he brought Ural,
of all, a splendid enthusiasm for his
work. This drew all mon to him, tho
eld as well as tho young. For on-
tl.usiasm is contagious and -his wn.
of such abundance and virility that It.
constituted a powerful force brought
into tho Hold of botanical science, I
have long felt that enthusalsm la after
all of more value in a teacher than
even profound attainments. Without
It the most; learned -man is well nigh
powerless. Without It the Important
dlscovorfos fall .of recognition. With
out it the greatest )Ians are not real I j?-
