At Lho ogriculturnl flchool of tho
University of MlBsouri thoy nro wit

father and son both registered as
rogulnr Btudcnta and both taking the
eamo work. Elmer E. Vanatta, a
farmer of Vandalla, Mo., 46 years
old, becamo bo Interested In the let
tors that his son wrote home from
collego that ho Bold tho homoBtead
and himself becamo a student. Ho
haB done moro thnn "catch up" with
his Bon. Ho has been so good In
his studies that ho was olectod
member of the honorary rratornity or
his department, although his son has
not been able to win that honor and
haB been there three years.
There In the 80's.
"Vanatta, Senior,'' waB a studont In
tho University of Missouri in 1883-4,
but married a. girl In Stcphons col
lege, and did not finish Ills course.
Thoy returned to hlB home at Van
dalla, Mo., and bought a farm. "When
Earl. S. Vunatta, his son, had finished
high school ho sont him to Columbia,
his alma mater, to take tho agricul
tural course. When Earl wrote homo
about tho course at tho university,
ho could not stand the temptation, bo
sold IiIb farm, movod to Columbia,
bought property and entered tho uni
vqrslty. Ho obtained special permis
sion to take extra work, and ever
slnco has carried a third more studies
than tho ordinary student.
In his froBhman year, ho made the
highest grades In his cIuhh, and thus
received the benoflt of the extra
credit for excellence of work. He was
even excused from the examination in
chemistry, the hardest course the
freshman "farmer" has to tako, be
cause of the high grades he mado in
tho course.
Undecided As to Future.
Mr. Vanatta Is undecided as to
what he will do upon graduation
from the university. Ho has already
had tho experience that tlfe other
students have to get and on gradua
tion will probably specialize In somo
line of agrlculturo, and become a
teacher.

University Forum
Lincoln, April 19, 1909.
To tho Editor of tho NobrnBkan:
In tho Saturday 'number of tho No
braskan appeared a quotation from
ono of our most loved and lovable
faculty men to tho effect that it is
not only omphatlcally truo that col
lego students aro oxtremoly selfish as
a clasB, but that tho individual stu
dont ought to bo self-centered, and
must bo so, If IiIb school work Is to
bo successful.
Tho harshest criticisms aro often
passed upon universities by people
who have discerned tho veiled pres
ence of this fooling in university life,
and now, so frank a statement has
been made of it by a man whose
utterances aro so esteemed I think if
is reasonable and pertinent that an
opposite thought of student Hfo
should bo prosonted qui to. as. frankly
and earnostly by some one also a
part of the university life.
I believe that selfish self-centered-nosH
is absolutely fatal to tho truo
university spirit nnd to the realiza
tion of t.hno'iinl varsity's hicrhost nlm
IIn its students, and for three seasons.
First. I tako it that tho ossonce
of culture is Included in a living in
terest in human llfo and nil Its forms
and manifestations. How absurd for
a student to "grind" and "dig'' at
history lessons, trying to find out
what people did and how society de
veloped a hundred years ago, und
pass by with indifference all IiIb op
portunities to observe tho history now
in the making and the dovolopmont
pf the society about him as it is nbw
going on.
Second. Tho professor referred to
admits in a way that self-centered-ness
is fatal to these important
things, but says lot the studont
leave the attitude behind him as ho
leaves tho college doors. Will that
.work? Are not the days in college
those which are most formative of
character and especially of mental
bent, of one's general attitude to
ward lire?
Third. The reason the state of Ne
braska or any other state supports a
university is because It expectB of
it service, and the highest quality of
service, in return. But surely it is
self-evident that no matter how much
of Intellectual training a man re
ceives he Is not thereby fitted to
serve anyone, ir ho has diligently re
frained from cultivating tho "spirit"
or "service." Our country neods
leaders, but It needs big-hearted,
sympathetic leaders, able to under
stand the problems of all classes of
men. How are our university grad
uates to bo of any uso In solving
tho negro problem, the immigration
problem, the labor and capital prob
lom, ir during their "learning" years
they have purposely neglected to
learn the ways or men and women,
their prejudices and their feelings?
Respectfully,
AN UNDERGRADUATE
HAG ANNOUNCED HIS
SUBJECT
Theme . of Commencement Oration
Announced by Mr. Williams.
Word has been received from John
Sharpe Williams, who has beon chosen
as commencement orator for tho class
of 1909 that his subject will bo "Dlxio
Land, Its Placo in tho Union -Past,
Present and Future And Its ProB
lems." Mr. Williams is particularly wo'l
qualified to speak upon this subject
as ho has been identified with tho
progress of the South for many years
nml hfiR hnrl n. hrnnri nynnrlnnrn In nil
j,me8 of bc actlv,ty- Mr Willlams
has been a member of tho house of
representatives slnco 1893 and has re
cently been electod to fill out the term
of H. D, Money in tho senate, whoso
term oxpires In 1911. Mr. Williams
studied at tho University of Virginia
and later graduated from tho Univer
sity of Heidelberg, Germany. Ho
studied law at tho University of Vir
ginia, and at Memphis, Tonu., being
admitted to tho bar in 1877.
Miss Howoll, of tho department of
elocution, went to Omaha last even
ing,, whero she will deliver a reading
of Jeanne D'Arc, at tho opening of
the now Y. W. C. A. building In that
city.

The Majestic.
High class acting and a kocn pore
ccption in tho interpretation of char
acters In "Tho Comstock Mystery" by
Miss Charlotto Parry and her com
pany at tho Majestic this week, pro
duce a skillful dolineation of divers
porsons such as is seldom seen on
a vaudeville stage. Miss Parry is
an actress of high dramatic sensi
bilities nnd she brings out the small
est touches of character. In "Tho
Comstock MyBtery" she assumes the
role of seven different people, nlil
with equal display of high class act
ing. "The Comstock Mystery" has
Its plot in the murder of a man by
tho young girl whom ho haB com
promised. Several witnesses nro
called in by a great detectlvo in run
ning down the crime. Miss Parry
works opposito tho detective in tho
seven roles."
Dan Roby, hailed as the black
face Harry Luder," pleased last even
ing's nudlence even moro than Billy
Van did last week's crowds. Roby
has several new, clean jokes and a
good voice for his class of work. He
was vociferously applauded laBt night.
Maxim's Models, being four women
and ono man, reproduce with much
accuracy and vivid detail a Borlos of
tho world's greatest paintings. Mil
let's most famous work and a picture
of a bath scene took very well.
Valadon, the best magician scon 4it
the Majestic this season, accom
plished several puzzling tricks with
groat rapidity. Hermann's famlbus
lifting trick was done much better
thnn the originator was ever able to
do it.
Other numbers on tho bill were
Mille La Tina, the physical culturo
girl, and the American Vlntuosos.
TO CAMP AT A8HLAND
(Continued from Pago 1)
the winners of the district contests
will fight the championship battle.
It Is possible that a banquet will bo
held at 0 p. m. similar to the union
school banquet last fall. If this is
done the event will take placo in the
auditorium and will be made one of
tho features of the day. It 1b as yet
undetermined, however.
