To all, Ye Readers, Greetings! We
wish you one and all a most pleasant
vacation, a Merry Christmas of cheer
and a truly Happy New Year. '
TO OUR ALUMNI.
Tho editor Ib In receipt of numoroiiB
lettors from iilumnl scattered from
const to coast, congratulating tho tin
dorgrndunto body on the splendid
spirit It has shown this year, and
praising our victorious football team
to the skies.
We would like very much to publish
some of these lottors, but most of
llnd his highest ideal of true college
life.
It may be that at the University of
Nebraska, and our other great west
ern colleges, wo do not know what
college life Is, but It Is our candid
opinion that wo do. Tho men and
women who make up our student body
aro In no way inferior to those of any
of those east-coast colleges that wo
have over seen. In fact, In our own
private opinion, there Ib a vast dif
ference In tho general average In
favor of the physical and mental
strength and virility of the western
college man.
The difference In the drawing power
of tho schools of the two sections Is
this, as nearly as we can state It:
FEMANTS and PILLOWS

lows, banners and blankets to order any way
you want them made.

them are In bad shape for tho print
er's use, and all of them contain quite
a little personal matter, so that wo
shall not do so. But wo wish to ox
press publicly our appreciation of
such a display of interest on tho part
of these old grads from Now York and
Philadelphia to San Francisco and
Seattle
It Bhows that there aro some, at
least, who have gone out into the
"humdrum" that have not loBt Inter
est In the old school.
Wo would encourage them to lot
their feelings run freoly not only to
us, but to our successors for many
years to como. Strong Interest among
the alumni, wo believe, Is a moro
potent factor in developing college
spirit and tho personnel of tho stu
dont body than aro tho actions of tho
undergraduates when taken alone.
An alumnus who talks of his alma
mater at all and any times, who
praises her to the skies, is ono of tho
greatest factors toward bringing about
just such conditions as his perhaps
lurid imagination pictures.
Such enthusiasm is bound to have
Its effect on the youngster who is
looking for ono of tho greater univer
sities in which to matriculate. By
such tnles ho forms his ideal's as to
tho sort of life that should bo lived
as a student, and gradually tho de
sired end Is brought about. r
Such spirit on tho part of tho old
grads of Harvard, Princeton, Dart
mouth, Yale and tho other moro adver
tised eastern universities has brought
about the present condition of things,
whereby so many sons of our moro
wealthy families have formed tho
Idea that in those places alone he can
Many eastern alumni come west and
among us spread great tales of doings
and sayings at this collego or at that
college. They laud their football
players, they laud their buildings,
they laud thlB professor and thut pro
fessor, In private and public, by word
of mouth and through the press, and
the result is only too patent. Some of
us, even the most cool, can be at
times carried off our feet by such
Hoods of enthusiasm, and the eastern
schools today aro said to bo reaping
the cream of western men, through
whoso added strength tho "hot air"
reputations of former decades aro be
ing maintained aiul even upbullded.
Our high school friends and prep
acquaintances who go east for an edu
cation return to us after four years
seemingly considering themselves In a
different class. Perhaps they are.
Perhaps not! Qulen Sabe? It Is not
for us to pass judgment.
It Ib but for us who aro, or oxpect
to bo, alumni of tho University of
Nebraska to do everything In our
power to improve tho heritage of
those who como after us. To so live
and net and speak when we have
passed into tho broador circles and
activities of the business world that
those youngsters who will in the fu
ture help to put and keep Nebraska
on a recognized piano with those
older institutions may bo Influenced
to say to father, "Let mo go to Ne
braska." Boost for Nebraska, you alumni,
make It second, nature to give tho
Uni yell, metophorically, at ajl times
and In all places.
We are not ashamed of you, unless
you are ashamed of us.
Only the very best of felt is used, and most of
the work is done by hand. You'll be surprised
at the low prices.-
