GOVERNOR SPEAKS ON
-VALUE OF SERVICE
3TATE EXECUTIVE GIVE8 AD
ORE88 AT CONVOCATION.
MATERIAL WEALTH NOT A SUCCESS
In Germany Men Aro Taught the In
significance of Private Interests
When Compared With
Public Welfare.
Governor A. C. Shallonborgcr gave
an nddrosa at convocation yesterday.
If attendance Is to bo taken as a
criterion for judging tho university
student appreciation of a visit by the
stato chief oxecutive, the governor
may consider his mcBBago and his
time well repaid.
In the course of his lecture, Govor
'nor Shullonberger sovercly censured
citizens of the United States for one
thing an inability or refusal to rec
ogoo the value of public service. He
emphasized tho facts that wo owe
moro to our state than to ourselves;
that wo attribute too much attention
to .the accumulation of tho dollar, and
as evidence of this evil in other coun
tries, he cltod Germany's attempt to
initiate this policy of subordination of
private to -public interests Into all lier
state Institutions. Ho doomed It es
sential that we stimulate and develop
a certain spirit of American patriotism
nnd Impress the obligation of render-'
Ing lndlvldual'servlces to our country.
He also robuked American people for
submitting and yielding themsolvcs to
tho politicians' appeal to public sontl
ment otherwise public prejudice
thereby causing all reform measures
to die a promature deuth.
Ability to Think.
In brlof, Governor Shnllenborgor
said: "Tho thing of paramount Impor
tance among the numerous things
which wo attempt to learn during our
university career is the anility to
think. Tho majority of us have a
jtrxngconcej)tlQnjof what suocesB
really Is. Wo haven't been taught to
perceive Into tho future and know that
tho accumulation of dollars ai)d mate-
t rial wealth is not success in fact, It
Is an insignificant factor In the field of
uctlvltlqs which properly make ono
successful. One thing abovo ull that
most of us lack is a truo realization of
the value and dignity of public ser
vice the voluntary service of an Indl-
' virtual dlrectod toward tho betterment
of his country.
One thing that we all prldo our-
solvos In is our origin. Every ono
points to his ancestors ub evidence of
his worthiness. I, like you, exult In
this peculiarity. My ancestors woro
all farmers. . First In Pennsylvania,
and from there tney may be traced to
the slopes of tho Alps, all as poor as
the crags upon which they clung-but
, frpo. Thoywere as independent as
Iho birds that fly; they briwod tp.no
autocrat; thoy -knew no aristocracy.
Friends, think what It means to live
as theso people lived; to throw off
the . sovereign shackles, to. enjoy free,
dom of speech, politics, and-religion.
Who wouldn't bo proud of such a fam
ily troo? Who wouldn't cry-out for
Immunity from royal ancestry?
.'i?..Jtw1cj vnn' dnn't nnnrfflntn
fyouth. You have an innate desire to
grow up;, to have responsibilities
thrust upon you; to bo wealthy ; to be
successful. You forgot that the two
ifilervcpnd'ltlons ore not synonymous,
Wealth Is not success. Gentlemen, af
ter due consideration, which ond of
ypu.wpujd change places today with
Rockefeller, Carnegie and other of our
consplcuoiitf conglomorators of the al
mighty dollar? 'He, who would has no
plage in an Institution of learning.
Condition In Germany,
VIp .Germany, men. are taught tho
insignificance of private interests
when compared with public Interests,
and as a consequence, tho most ablo.of
GcirmunB will Joll for a bare subsist"
once- In ordoT thai Ihoy may, T)y lutb
He service, remove tho debt which
thoy owo to their state. Tlioy con
sider it tho highest tribute that man
can pny thorn If thoy are reckoned
among tho state benefactors. This Is
the sjjlrlt that America must $nd will
dovelop.
"Another of tho great evils of tho
American Btato is tho willingness' of
Amorican citizens to yield to tho ap
peal of polltlclanB-thoroby cauBhTg
public prejudice against tho beneficial
movements. Truth, gentlemen, will
always triumph but not necessarily
until tho end. Because of this, poli
ticians have bo formulated their pub
lic speeches that public projudico has
destined a Waterloo for overy reform
measure. I, at present, enjoy moro
nowor than the king of England If, I
however, you should appeal to tho
Amorican public to mako mo a king
and Invest mo with all kingly powers,
thoy would revolt from tho very Idea,
but prefer rather to allow mo to exor
cise nil. kingly and. Bovorolgn preroga
tives under tho name, governor. All
because of public projudico.
"Tho greatest opportunity for an
American effort Is right hero at homo
the opportunity for ub to oncourage
the development of tho highest typo
and character of American citizen
ship."
Preceding the lecture of tho gov
ernor, Miss Malono of tho senior class
rendered a piano boIo. Tho senior
class has volunteered to provide a
musical number at overy convocation,
and it the subsequent numbers nro as
high clasB us tho one this morning, no
ono should fail to hear them.

in the meet nt Omaha. ,
Weak on Pole Vaulters. ,
The. track team will bo hamllcupport
by tho fact that thero 1b a scarcity of
pole vaulting niatorlal. This ovent Is
left open to no veteran except Gra
ham. Ilussoll has left school for tho
present semester nnd Hummoll will
bo out of tho meets on account of an
Injured ankle. This leaves the entlro
work to Graham, unless some excel
lent frcshmnu material develops In
tlio.ueat-.fujUire . AtprfiSPJiLther6 are
only two men working at. tho pdlo
vault outside of Graham. Theso are
Llndstrom and Hammond. Hammond
hns done no work In the vaulting line
except In Indoor meets. Llndstrom
hns done most of his vaulting out
doors and may be counted-onari a
strong man to bacl Graham up In. any.
of theso Indoor meets.
Ontlrelalreinnriiildillc-TltBtnircD-!
runs the university has a good line-up
of material, Campbell, Ileod, Burke
.and Amberson. arc a quartet of run
ners which are hard to beat In the
Missouri Valley. Campbell ond Reed
are tho mon to represent tho univer
sity in the short distance runs, unci
with Burko and Amberson on tho mid
dle, and long distance runs the univer
sity will be represented to ascertain
extent.
Good Freshman Material.
BesldOB theso men as veterans thero
are several freshmen who are doing
excpllent work,, in track athletics.
Funkhausor, who broke tho university
record In tho shot-put, will bo an able
second to "Sid" Collins with tho
weights. Collins for the past two
years has been considered ,tho best
wolghTman In the Missouri Valley,
and his work- will go far in winning
meets for the Cornhuskors. In tho
(fashes foy, a freshman, Is ono who
hos shown up strong, nnd along with
him are two sophomores, Powers nnd
Flaak. Powers has showed up well.
laBt year In tho 220 run nnd also In
tho short dash In tho Charter Day
moot this year. In the, "hurdles Flack
has shown good form and ought to
help Dale MacDonald-win points In
tho high and low stick runs. This is
tho limit of the material' out for par
ticipation In these meets.'
With, the number of men limited as
a rule to the veterans and with the
quality of tho newer men unknown,
Cuptaln Burke of tho track team has
been busy urging more men to got out
nnd take an interest In track "work.
Freshmen are, not barred from these
moots, a,nrt they may. participate If
thoy show that they have, tho quality
necessary to hold down places on tho
teams.-- ''

Another sovero handicap to the
team will bo the loss of liummell in
tho high Jump. Huinmoll was tho
best university Jumpor, nnd with his
