from rich and poor families, from
families of all denominations and

wo are atruggllug, on a comon Held,

It Is to be hoped that we may soon

NEBRASKA DEMOCRATIC.
In order that the students might
become better acquainted. many
things hae been done at the Univer
sity of Nebraska that lune made this
important feature much easier
Nebraska is often spoken of as the
mostdemocratic school In the United
States And the reason for this Ih
because
out here where good social times can
bo had without the great expense it
takes in other colleges
Irately, a new custom haB been in
augurated which is not expensive and
which has proven to be a very good
thing; this custom is the Wednesday
evening band concert Idea, which at
tracts many students to the campus.
These concerts are free to the public
as well as the students.
"Dandelion Day" is another event
that comes off each spring where all
tho students have a chance. to get to
gether In one large mass. This, here
after, will bo a holiday, upon which
occasion there will be a program of
some kind, similar to tho one of last
year.
In order that many more can attend
the two proms with Iohs expense, cabs
have been abolished, except In cases
of necessity In this way the expense
of a prom Is cut down about one half
and, without a doubt, everyone has
Just about as good a time
It Is probably on account of these
reasons that Nebraska Is so demo I
cratlc The events that come off here I
can be attended by every one, as no
one is held up over the limit At
other large universities the men boast
of spending fifty and sixty dollars for
one prom while here about one tenth
of that sum. and usually less, will
take anyone to tho best parties given
at this University It is also the opin j
Ion of others from other schools thnt
we have parties here as fine as at the
most expensive hcIiooIh.
SIGNIFICANT FACTS.
We take this opportunity of greet
ing the high school students who are
visiting our campus today Perhaps j
the reception Is not as hearty as it
could be were those who have Just
returned from camp in a position to '
lend their efforts However, what we
wIhIi to Impress upon the visitors is '
not bo much the fact that we are cor
dial in our greeting, as the fact that
wo have at Nebraska opportunities
which they cannot afford to miss.
The t Imp-honored idea that a per
son must go East in order to secure
a llrst class education is gradually be
Ing broken down. This task is being
accomplished by Just such schools hh
Nebraska, whose progressiveness has
marked it aH a leader This Unher
wit y has already forged ahead of it k
Valley competitors in man respects
In fact, in ho many respects that it
now draws students from a wider tor
rltory than does any other universitv
of the middle west This fact becomes i
evident when one notices that No
braBka ranks twelfth of all the uui
ersltioH and colleges of the United
States By taking into consideration
Nebraska's comparative jouth and
the moderate circumstances of the
state's citizens, one can easily see the
importance of this ranking
Our scholastic standing can only be
determined by a thorough and general
investigation, which will show that
not only havo we Bent out into the
world men and women who have made
a name for themselves, but also that
we have In the present faculty such
authorities iih Dean Bessey. Professor
Barbour. Dr Maxey, Professor Fr.ve
and ProfosHor Stout, men known
throughout the country Tor their opin
ions on certain subjects
In athletics our record is eiiu.illv
laudable The Missouri Valley chain
pionslup has fallen to us every year,
in at least one line ol sport Not !it
islled with former records we h.iv
to date, taken both the tootbnl! .md
basket-ball championships for this

a scheme has been worked. i (.onHi,i,.r(.(l to be the only Western
school who is able to invade Eastern
athletic circles we treated them to a
surprise from which thej will not
soon recover
One of Nebraska's most signitlcant
and important advantages lies in the
connected campuses, more courses
than does perhaps any other state In
Btitution This is not merely a con
jecture, but the statement of fact 'n
nearly every other university the agri
fact that It offers, on its two closely
cultural, engineering, law or medical
departments are entirely separate,
and often in different towns or cities
Such is not the case at Nebraska, the
only separated department, that of
agriculture, is bo situated that the
students of the city campus may en-
