Yesterday was Ivy Day. The
program on Ivy Day has always
been Impressive, and yesterday's
program was no oxeoption to the
rule. The weather was all that
could bo asked for. Tho sun lont
its brilliance to tho brilliance of
tho program and tho morning ox
orciscs composed one of tho most
beautiful affairs that has. over
y uecn seen on the university cam-'
tJ ntie
The ilrst number on the pro-,
gram was the singing of tho, clasl
song by a male quartet. Those
who sang were W. W. Guidingor,
Harold Clater, Clarence Clark
and Kenneth Warner.
J. A. Clinc introduced John L.
Rico as tho speaker of tho day.
Tho title of Mr. Rice's address
Was "Tho Graduate." As a piece
of scholarly' work 'and as a prc
seiitatipn of dcop thought and ii'i
.teiffld patriotism, tlie oration wS
.generally concoded to be one of
tho greatest over dolivored by a
student of tho university.
Ivy Day Honored Custom. .
In beginning, Mr. Rico said
that tlie class had assembled in
accordance with a time honored
custom' for the purposo of leav
ing upon tho campus a fitting and
lasting memorial to commemorate
tho happy-busy years which 'they ..
had spent" in tho University of
Nebraska, and to pay tribute to
the great institution that they
would in a. short timo 'call their
Alma Mater.
Tie said it was fitting that they
should express their gratitude t
thjj acuity, tho chancellor, tho
regents, and tho whole state for
the good education that' they had
1UUUIVUU. . .
In discussing the planting of
the ivy, Mr. Rice compared it.
with ibd lifoo a student in the
university. The. freshman,, like
tho ivy, is small and weak, Small
and weak in mind, if not in body.
They plant themselves in the rich
fields of learning in the univer- .
sity. They put forth their onor
gicB, like tho tendrils of tho ivy.
in search of knowledge, light and
truth., After four years under
the influence of tho university,
with its fostering care, protec
tion 'and support, they are ho
longer the sprout, but tho grow
ing plant.
A Worthy Aim. ' - '
The closing paragraph of the
oration was as follows:
"Let us, then, hero this morn
ing, make a firm resolve to sup
plement .the education wo have
received, with a life of industry
and energy, with a life of useful
ness. Lot us by cultivating tho
virtues of honesty, " integrity,
