BURNHAM PLEASES AUDIENCE
PROMINENT BANKER ADDRE83E8
ECONOMIC CLA88E8 ON "CUR
RENCY REFORM."
Tho address given by S. H. Burn
ham, president of tho First National
bank of this city, on the subject of
"Currency Reform" before Professor
Lo Rossignol's class in Monoy and
Banking was attended by a large num
ber of students interested in this im
portant question.
Mr. Burnham reviewed tho banking
system of this country, pointing out
tho fact that thero has been no funda
mental changoB in tho plan since its
foundation at tho time of tho Civil
War. Tho old system gives security,
but not elastlcltyof tho currency "and
this is what tho Aldrlch plan of a Na
tional Reserve Association Is designed
to remedy. Ho characterized the
measure as an economic, and not a
political plan, which is of vital inter
est to the business and laboring
classes of the whole country. Tho
fundamental principle is to centralize
the reserve for use where it may bo
most needed.
It also gives to tho Reserve Associa
tion tho exclusive" right to Issue cur
rency. Mr. Burnham said "the Al
drlch plan has adopted tho principles
of the central bank which the experi
ence, of a hundred years In all the
great nations of tho world havo found
safe and practical, but without allow
ing it in any way to Interfere with our
general banking system." ,
A bronzo tablet in honor of Ex
Chancellor Andrews is to bo placed
in tho lobby of the University Temple
building because ho was instrumental
in obtaining tho Rockefeller contribu
tion which made tho building possible.
The design of tlio tablot is boing
drawn by Professor Barbour, whllo tho
inscription will bo written by Dean
Sherman.
Tho design is to be very simple. It
js probable that tho inscription .will
be, "To Elisha Benjamin Andrews,
sixth Chancellor of tho University of
Nebraska, who secured tho funds for
tho erection of this building."
Tho tablet was first suggested by
Chancellor Avery. It immediately mot
with hearty support from tho faculty
and tho regents. Tho Chancollor was
authorized to go ahead with his plans,
so that tho tablot might bo in place
by Charter Day.

Tho author, who is a famous play

is tho scone of tho play, wo seem to
hear distant laughing echoes from tho
Forest of Arden, and In Lady Noelino
Bolturbot and Barrlngton, Lord Utter
