Tho selection of nn acting Instead of n permanent chancellor at this time Iiy tho board of regents was n wise and fortunate move, and 1h huto to prove In tho end to have boon a most prudent act, for It will give the re gents plenty of time to canvnsH the Held of poHalble successors to Chan cellor Andrews and weigh carefully the qualifications of each man under consideration for tho position. The selection of Dr. Samuel Avery t'oi net lug chancellor was a pleasing ono, ns would havo boon tho election of any 'of three or four other Nebraska pro rosBors prominently mentioned for Iho place. Hut for a man to permanently occupy the chair of chancollor it 1h hoped by many students that the re gents will go boyond the border. of this Institution and pick for the head of tho greatest university west of iho Missouri rlvor a man from tho east, highly qualified as an edurator and lull of a progressive spirit that ho may tako care of tho demands of this growing state school when its present great chancellor steps out. Nebraska today faces a crlBlB in its career. It is losing a great man who, during the last ton years, has brought It to tho front among tho loading stato institutions of tho country. Its advance among the leading schools hns boon rapid, but now has about I4L.O. To Stokes come to a standstill, while around It on ovcry side tho state schools of tho sister commonwealths are gradually forging toward tho front, and unless Nebraska gets on tho move again it will soon be passed In tho progressive movoment. Kansas, Missouri und Iowa, schools that Nebraska has been in a position for several years to look down upon, now threaten its prestige. Those sis i ter institutions havo not anywhere in tho country been considered to bo as great a school as the Cornhusker Institution. But during the last three or four years Nebraska, tho school that In the late nineties and up to 1904 rushed to tho front among tho educational Institutions, has paused in its progress. At the same tlmo Mis souri, Kansas and Iowa nave takon a spurt and now aro rapidly crawjlng up on the Cornhuskcr institution and soon will overtake it, unless there is an awakening in UiIb state. Tho rea son for Nebraska's halt and tho on ward march of tho other schools Is duo almost entirely to the attitude of tho people and of the legislatures of tho respective states. In Missouri, Kansas and Iowa tho state schools are the prido of the peo ple of tho commonwealth and their ' representatives Jru the legislature aro not reluctant about furnishing funds t University Bulletin December.

Tho mass of people, while pointing with pride to thiB great stato school, Bend to Lincoln as their legislative representatives men unsympathetic in their attitude toward tho school and opposed to supplying liberal fundi for Us needs,. As a result tho University of Nebraska Is forced to get along with a few dlscropt buildings, and its professors are compelled to exist on salaries much lower than those paid at any of the other stato Bchools. Tho final effect of this condition will bo to stop Nebraska's futuro ad vanco while Missouri, Iowa and Kansas at tho same tlmo will got good equip ment, buildlngB and professors and gradually will surpass tho Cornhuskcr school. This institution will continue to lose such men as Pound, Ross and Clomcnts to tho other schools which can pay attractive salaries. Gradually students from this stato and others instead of coming to Nebraska will CRAVENETTE COATS I am now in the Clothing Business don't want to . bo but when I can pick up a snap $15 and $18 coats dfclffl A A then is when I 4S.O.ir 9IU.UU -AvcfoUou? go to the other schools that aro mak ing a noise in the educational world. it i buuu u conuiuon 01 anairs inai nuiBt bo done away with if Nobraska is to maintain its position as a great state educational institution in this country. The best way to chango this existing condition is to put a man in tho chancellor's chair who will reconcile all tho interests in tho uni versity proper; secure the greatest confidence of tho people of the state, and get men sent to tho legislature who will give this great school what It deserves. Tho man to accomplish tills ought to be an educator from the oast ono filled with the enthusiasm of youth for his work and willing to fatigue himself In carrying on the great task already started by the grand old man who is about to retire to private life. The regents by selecting a tempor ary chancellor have given themselves plenty of tlmo in which to elect an excellent man to hold down the chair permanently. An eastorn man prob ably would best understand the con ditions for carrying out tho needed policy at Nebraska apa a great ma jority of tho students hopp that some eastern educator who Is well fitted in every way to work out tho tremend uous problems will be tho final, choice. WOULD SEE A CHANGE TENNI8 MEN DE8IRE THAT "N'8" BE AWARDED TEAM MEMBERS. SYSTEM OF OTHER UNIVERSITIES Many Eastern Schools Place the Gen tlemanly Sport on 8ame Basis as Any of the Other College Games. "I believe that winning tennis teams could bo put out by the University of Nebraska." declared n prominent member of the university tennis club, "wcro tho athlotlc board to take charge of this branch of sports." This Ib but a public statement of a senti ment to this viow which has been noticeable for the last two years. "De veloping powerful teams In nlmoBt every branch of athletics It seems strange that Nebraska would neglect one of the most fascinating of out door games. "From small colleges all over tho country come tennis teams far super ior to those of Nebraska. Tho only explanation of this is that in Ne braska tennis is not a recognized sport, whereas smaller colleges place it under tho control of their athletic boards, tho same as football, basket-1 ball, baseball and track and Hold ath letics. In these colleges it is an honor to be on tho team. Numeral Means Much. "In Iown, Chicago, Wisconsin and other eastern Bchools Interest in ten nis Is stimulated by awarding num erals to thoso men who win places on the teams. As a result mon work for their letters as hard as in football and other college sports. Largo num bers turn out for squad work, and the beBt players In school are found on tne team. Recently Wisconsin and Minnesota played tennis under the control of the athletic board. The regular college letter will be awarded to tho mem bers of the teams. It Is thought that tennis will receive a stimulus as both of these schools as a result of this lnovation. Nebraska Needs Change. That Nobrnska needs a change in the management of tennis teams has boon sufficiently demonstrated by tho defeats of the past two seasons. Three representatives of Kansas university decisively defeated the Nobraska team. Nebraska has lost every con test in the last few years. As under the present management, it is impossible to secure the best mon In school. The tennis association, as tho organization is known, Is limit ed In membership, and a yearly duo Is charged each member for tho main tenance of tho courts just west of tho library building. With tho athletic board in charge, the system of dues could bo abolished. Horotoforo no recognition has been given to tennis and the result is that Nebraska is far behind the majority of collegos In tho Missouri valley. That the time Is ap parently.rlpe for a change, is tho senti ment of the majority of tennis en thusiasts and some action may ' be taken in the near futuro. The freshman class in chemistry at Washington university recently sent a committee Ho -the dean to see if the course in chemistry could not bo made easier. They claim that with tho courso they now havo no time is left to proparo other subjocts. It is possible that Harvard may ex periment with tho English collegetsys tern, whoroby groups of students are lodged togothor in chambers about an open court, are provided with a dining room, library and common room of their own, and) live in close contact with masters and groups pf other students.
