Herbert Diamond, sou of Mrs, C..A.
Diamond, G33 North Twonty-Bixth
street, a student of Temple High
"School and the Lincoln Academy, died
Thursday morning, at 9:15 o'clock.
Ho is the first person connected with
the University of Nebraska to fall a
victim to the typhojd epidemic which
has attacked Lincoln. Typhoid fever.
comblned with pneumonia, caused the
death.
Diamond was a sophomore in his
class and was well known, not only
in his own' school but also at the Uni
versity, Ho was a star momber of the
Temple High football team.
More than a score of the students of .
the University are reported as serious
ly ill with some form of typhoid, and
many more have been out ot school
for. short Bpacos of time on nccount of
lighter attacks. Lincoln's sanitariums
have almost all of them, several stu
dents in their sick wards.
Medical authorities are trying every
possible means of finding the cause of
so much sickness, but the exact source '
of tha bacteria has not boon deter-1
mined'. ' Investigations of the city
water have been going on for months, f
but as yet nothing has been done to '
better conditions. J
This epidemic does not seem to havo
any connection, with the sickness be
fore Christmas. Entirely different
symptoms are present and a different
source is suspected. The cases are not
exactly like typhoid but are compli
cated by pneumonia and other ill
nesses. Whole bunches of studonts
come down at once, several weeks
after any chance, of being exposed, to
the germs of typhoid. A number wont

The Laws will have their lengthy
final examinations this year as usual.
For thorn the change in the length of
the exams which pleased the lawless
ones of the school has no effect.
Thoy are required to comply with
the regulations, of the Law Associa
tion, of which this school Is a mom
ber, regarding examinations. Falluro
to do this would result in Nebraska's
name being taken from the associa
tion. J3o the rule of the association
requiring a complete examination
takes precedence over tho recent rul
ing of the Senate. The examinations
will bo held during examination in the
usual rooms on the third floor.

DR. LIWRY GIVES CRITICISM
TREASURES OF ART INTERPRE
TED IN LECTURE AT
CONVOCATION.
"Impressionalism is the contribution
of modern art to the world," declared
Dr. II. B. Ixwry in a critique which he
delivered at convocation yesterday.
"The old school regarded art in a
stiff, exact, unlifellko manner which
tho artist of today has entirely dis
placed. In former times, a landscape
was a dull, drear, monotonous scene,
predominating with browns and grays,
painted, most probably, in the studio.
Today, the landscape Is fresh and full
of life, and portrays the deepest emo
tion and feeling of which tho artist is
capable,
"Illumination is tho greatest gift of
impressionalism. Tho power t of ar
ranging colors so that thoy give to a
portrait animation and life, is a thing
Wholly unknown to ancient art. This,
tho impressionists aro justly proud In
presenting to tho world, and thoy have
transformed art into living, breathing
beings who appro
beings who appeal to all that is beauti
ful and refined in the nature."
Dr. Lowry is a passionate lover of
art and has studied ft for many years.
He is well-kno.wn In Lincoln as a critic
of art and music, and for a number of
yoars he has explained and interpreted
tho pictures, of tho art, exhibit which
