COMPANY A WINS
&
PLEADS FOR CONSERVATION AND.
UTILIZATION OF YOUTH.
Entertaining Address by Noted Head
of National Bureau of Chemistry
Pleases Nebraska Students.
Dr. H. W. Wiloy head of the
United States Bureau of Chemistry
delivered an address at a Bpecial con
vocation yesterday morning which
was much enjoyed by the students
who were present. Dr. Wiley's cen
tral thought was the conservation and
proper utilization or Youth, which he
styled as the moBt valuable of all the
nation's natural resources. The speak
er had a pleasing manner and intro
duced numerous remarks of a witty
nature.
Introduced by Dean Ward as one
who -was. a man of affairs as well as a'
professional man, Dr. Wiley first re
ferred to his pleasure at greeting the
Lincoln students as well as those at
the medical school in Omaha, where
he delivered the commencement address-
Thursday evening. Ho then
spoke' of the session of governors and
other notables recedtly held in Wash
ington for the discussion of the preser
vation ot the natural resources of this
country. In the speaker's opinion
such gatherings as these are of in
calcuable benefit to the country at
large.
"But," said Dr. Wiley, "one natural
resource, and one which I think the
most valuable of all, was not consld
ered at that meeting. I refer to the
young people or our country, a re
source far more valuable than any of
those considered by the Washington
conference. I am a believer in Youth.
I know the necessity of conserving the
resources of youth. Youth cannot be
entirely conserved but it can be part
ly conserved and properly utilized. It
is the object of the University to dis
cover how best to utilize the energy
of youth.
"Today there are great problems
"concerning the natural resources
which are awaiting solution. The coal
supply is being, exhausted. Where will
the future Obtain its supply of energy?
Suppose the winds may be harnessed.
This Is to be expected. In any case
the exhaustion of the coal supply will
never bo allowed to stop the world's
progress. This 1b but one of the many
problems which you young people will
be called upon to solve.
'The diplomas which you receive
grant you certain privileges but in
every one ql them there is also the
clause, 'and the responsibilities there,
with, You cannot have the privileges
without the responsibilities. If women
choose to be professionals, then they
must assume the responsibilities of
professionals and support the men
just as a man would have to Support
a woman in like circumstances.
"We "can got along-without lawyers,
without 'doctors, without many other
professional men, butjwe cannot live
without cooks. ;i 'bejleve that three

"Great things are accomplished by
youth. Old age la great for many
thingsJnit jnot for. Initiation and. ac
complishment. You young people have
youth and Its companion, opportunity:.
I congratulate you on your opportuni
ties. I hope and believe that youth
will bo prolonged that man will no
longer be old at thirty; that he will
retain the flush of youth at forty. But
if the flush is gone, do not use analyne
dyes. Preserve Youth, but do not imi
tate it.
