WILLIAM J. BRYAN
ADDRESSED STDDENTS
TOOK SCENE OP RECENT
TRIP AS SUBJECT.
CHANCES THE POSITION Of (ANAL
Tells of Peruvian Sand Dunes
Strange Botanical Specimens
Southern Countries Follow
United States';
William Jennings Bryan, under
the auspices of the univorsity,
yesterday Addressed students of
Nebraska at regular convocation
on "South America." The lec
ture consisted of a recitation of
sights ond experiences encount
ered by him on his recent jour
ney through the country in ques
tion. '
- As introductory to his discus
sion, Mr Bryan emphasized the
fact that ignorance concerning
the South American countries,
climate, etc., was evident in ev
ery section of North America.
tfllc then proceeded to clear up
the numerous misconeontions br
presenting facts and observations '
on facts made by him in his tour -
of these southern countries. He
also expressed a desire to prose
cute this work more intensely arid
extensively and devote his time
to valuable research for educa
tional institutions rather than to
"juice squeezing" - at political
conventions.
Tho first revelation which the
.spcikor made was concerning the
North American popular aversion
to the climate of tho southern
countri6s. "After living there
for many months," he said, "and
oxnorioneinir the climate of tho
hottest tropics, I am convinced
that 'the country is eapablo of re
ceiving an advanced civilization,
and commit myself to that ef
fect." Relative to discoveries recently
mado by him, Mr. Bryan men
tioned tufa of a geographical na
ture, narnely that the Pacific
ocean at tho Panama canal is
one thousand miles nearer to
New York -City than is the Pa
cific ocean to San Francisco, and
that the Panama canal is almost
directly south of Now York City.
As proof for these ssortmris tye
displayed nunierous wall maps, of
Cho "frcsiern hemisphere.
' Panama Canal.
Prophecies' on the time for the
Completion of,tne" Panama canal
were also msao oy mv. uryan.
He said: "I believe that the canal
will be done at tho time ? settled
by the engineers and probably in
i time to celebrate tho anniversary
of tho first oxploratidn of this
narrow stretch 'of land. When
completed it will bo the center of
American influence in all that
country. It will bp the moft,pow..
oniu sirongnoici in tno worm, i
beliovo that, the United States
shoul establish a college at Pan
ama exclusively, for foreigners
who may assemble there. The in
struction should consist of his
tories of American countries and
institutions and an advocation of
the more democratic' principles
lfyiu'i "iuy 4U turn uu .uihsuuiui
ated amone the republics and
principalities of South America,"
Mr. Bryan also made a with
drawal of his former stated opin
ion concerning the plans pursued
in tho"construction of the Panama
canal. At first he held that Nic
aragua would be a more suitable
place than Panama for the build
ing of a canal, and that tho sea
level plan wan far better than
the construction of the lock sys
tem. Today he vindicated the.
engineers in their action on the
construction of the canal, and ex
pressed himself as being highly
pleased with its management.
From here the speaker traced
his journey down the eastern
coast of South America until Ire
reached fiis destination Peru.
In this sea journey he observed
one thing in particular, that the
great Andes range. is not even in
sight of any one standing on the
Pacific coast.
Sand Dunes.
In his visit to Peru he noticed
two very curious things. The"
most important of these was tho
sand dunes. In a description of
them he said: "Whether or not
I ever read anything of tho Pcru
vian sand dunes, I do not know,
f I did, it certainly failed to have
a lasting effect. They arc won
derful things to behold. "White
in color, crescent in shape, and
n11 ulikc- they remind one of
niousancis oi moving sentinels.
iy moving l mean aoout zvv ieec
annually, and all in the same di
rection from west to east."
In Brazil he found a tree with
a heart lilec ii Maltese cross,
which he ascribed to the list of
nature's- wonders Tie "displayed
a cross-section of it, to be con
tributed to Dean Bcsscy's botani
cal collection.
He gave great credit to the
southorn countries because of
their voluntary desire ' to adopt
the United States' educational
system. Beneficial results have
be011 secured as a result of this
adoption.
In conclusion, Br. Bryan said:
In the coming century, South
i
America will be to the ..world
what North America has been the
preceding century an open home
to all. The doctrines taught in
United States schools are mani
fest in every rural school in this
southern country. Our country
it; linked to theirs by geographical
and by educational ties. Our
revolution has been a source of
inspiration 'to the weakest of
them. To be general, qui coun
try Is projecting its influence
among men who will eventually
dominate the policies of South
America."1
FRAOARTD3S AFFECTED.
Not to Be Hold at the Lincoln
Hotel.
Considerable excitement was
caused among sororities and fra
ternities last evening by tho
chancellor's proclamation pro
hibiting social , functions in the
Lincoln liotol. Theproclaniation
Was issued to prevent the spread
of the smallpox, which A is now
practically confined to the university,-
to the city.
Two 'formal parties, one given
by Alpha Omicron Pi.tonight, and
the other- by Chi Omega' tomor
"ow night, had' to be', called off
it the LTncpln. Until dqfinite
word is received fronv Miss En
sign neither can take any actipn.
Until further notice no univer
sity organizations will be permit
ted to hold "social functions in
the city hotels, churchos or other
public places, but every facility
possible will bo afforded to or-'
ganizations which wish to hold
social functions in university
buildings. This prohibition doos
not apply to fraternity and soror
ity houses. Ivy Day oelobration
will be held as usual at tho cam
pus and farm. The public is re
quested not to attend open uni
versity lunotions while the pros
ent epidemic is in progress.
It is a notable fact that one
case of smallpox has occurred in
the city outside of the student
body. The university people,
thereforo, should consider it a
matter of honor to avoid coming
in contact more than is necessary
with those who are not of their
own number.
