THE CHANCELLORSHIP.
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

for now buildlngB and salaries. Tho
Btatq schools get nearly everything
they want. But at Nebraska the sit
uation is woefully different.
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

can pay attractive salaries. Gradually

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.

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.
