BOTH SERIOUS AND FRIVOLOUS "THE COLLEGE INQUISITION" IS BTCT FETSTURE; Glee Club to Make First Appearance Before a University Audience Other Numbers Are Funny and Interesting. University Night will be formally Inaugurated this evening at the Tem ple theater, when the entertainment bo long waked for is scheduled to ap pear. ' Alter weekB of planning on the part of the committee and many re hearsals of the various "stunts," the promoters fool confident that the big show will be a great success. The varying character of the acts to be presented will not allow the audience to become tired. There will be plenty of changes to satisfy the most fastidi ous of theater goors. Idea and Purpose. The idea of a University Night is a new one at Nebraska. Similar affairs are current In rilffp.rpntMuilvnrq ltleB of the United States, among them 1111 nois, West Point and Nevada, and have proven so successful that they have become traditions In those insti tutions. The purpose of University Night Is to give each organization in the school an opportunity to present their lines of entertainment before the university public. It is also thought that by this scheme tho many societies can be brought into a closer relationship to each other. The Entertainment. It requires no more than a glance at the program to know that it is a "hummer." Weeks have been spent in the preparation and no pains have been scared to make it pleasing. Both the serious and frivolous are much in evidence. "A sketch of university life as seen by a freshman" Is laughable to say the leost. for the cadets seem to have discovered many amusing Incidents. The Glee club makes Its first appear nnce before university people under tho new organization and will render several selections, all of which will be serious (?). "A Medic's Revenge" is given in order to show tho people of the state the .dexterity of tho com ing doctors; and let them know that their .appropriations are not being wasted. .M'nrlo Douglass and' Earl Sage will star In "A Pair of Lunatics." The wise ones refuse to say that many tears will be shed. The, College Inquisition. Tho grand finale Is "The College In quisition," by the fraternity minstrels and a special orchestra.

SHOULD TRAIN THE MIND TO THINK IS NOT THE PURP08E TO MAKE IT A STOREHOUSE. Speaker Declares College Course Is of Much Importance, Though Greek or Algebra Is 8eldom . Used In Life. A large audience greeted Governor C. H. Aldrlch on his first appearance before University or Nobrnska stu dents. Those who heard him agreed that his address waB one or the best that tho students have had an oppor tunity to hear this year. A large num ber or the faculty were present. Govornor Aldrlch snld ho never rolt more at homo In his lire and never rclt younger. It had not been so very long since he had been In college and attended convocation, becnuso It was compulsory. He said that slnco ho had had nothing to do since tho HrBt or January the audience might expect n very carefully prepared speech. The Purpose of School. Mr. Aldrlch wondered If the stu dents really comprehend what they Trrc-tn -thO"linTVTraIty,ToT: Tmr-qireiF-Hon has been asked students for ageB and has been discussed all over tho world. The speaker thought It augured ror the people or this country that the question has been so all-absorbing In the United States. The American nation will be whatever our citizens make it. Each and every one Is n government builder, and stamps Ills ohnructor upon it In somo way or other. Everyone then should bo abfo to act Intelligently upon all matters that will affect tho public. Tho governor said ho used to Im agine that about all an education wns for was to make the mind a storehouse of all sorts of Information. Slnco then ho has changed his mind. Ho told some of his colleges experiences. He had, to get his degree, to take four or five years or Greek and Latin, and a number or other hard studies and had practically no olectlves. When he got through college he had hoped to get n superlntendency of tho schools or some great city, but finally contented himself with going to UlyBees, Neb. At the present time ho probably could not read much Greek or Latin, he had never used geometry or algebra in his work as a practicing attorney, yet his. college course hail been of Inestimable Importance to 1)1 in In whatever he had done. ' Learn How to Think. The speaker said an education was to teach us how to think and how to act. it is necessary to pursue those studies which require evary atom of strength the student possesses. The way to be taught how to think Is to think. So by pursuing tho courses which reqnire tho most thought, you will bd beter equipped for. hard thinking In after life, Wo uncon sciously pursue the saints habits of thought when meeting tho problems 'pt life that we follow In school, When you get out of school tho world does not core what degreo you have or what your proficiency was in college. The question will be, "Can you mnko good?'.' . , ' . The governor urged his hearers not." Continued on Pago 4 Jt
