A SUBSTANTIAL VICTORY.
Another trophy has been brought
bade to Nebiaska. This time the
crown of glory renin upon the .heads
of the agricultural students.
Nebraska's vietoiy by a margin of
over 200 points In the national stock
Judging contest at Chicago is one of
which all students will be proud.
Fourteen other colleges were lepre
sentcd, all ol them premier institution8
of the country.
To the members ol the Nebraska
team the Nebraskan extends its hearti
est congratulations Their work in
behall of their hcliool, and especially
of the College oi" Agrlcultuie. is de
serving of the highest praise, tor It
represents an achle ement of sub
stantial merit.
It also speaks well tor the elllciency
and standing of the agricultural de
partment of the Uniorslt,y. Such
records as these, while not showing up
biilllanth belore the eyes ol the aver
age student, do far more for the Uni
versity with tespect to raising it in
the minds of the people of the state
than do the more hollow successes
that we seem most to strive for.
An enormous amount ol student ef
lort these das is centered in fields
not lying akin to the real college work
If this competitive energy could be di
rect ud along lines ot particular col
lege wotk, how much more elllelent
students would become in their chosen
llelds While not discouraging actiity
In "college affairs," or belittling the
Importance and merit ol "college ac
tivities," as they aie conimonlv classi-
'fled, we sometimes wonder if the day i
will ever return when our class loom
woik will be more than merely an
academic proposition.
The agricultural students have a
very natural and practical outlet for
their dcsircH to accomplish something
In the way of student achievement, In
IhoBo various Judging contests. These
contests are but an elaboration of
what they aro doing every day, and
hence contribute much to Increasing
their knowledge and efficiency in that
line of endeavor.
Tho moral of those few observations
Is that pretty soon college students
have got to get back to first principles
They will need some assistance and
direction from the faculties, and per
haps from the legislatures, but in the
mam they will have to take the lead
Viewing the matter seriously, col
lege life, or to use a more fitting
rrhrase, higher education, must be
Indulged In with more regard for the
purposes for which the colleges and
universities were established The
tise of vocational schools and the
pressing preponderance of vocational
subjects In our college curriculums '
signify that the country Is demanding I
men educated along practical lines
The Idea of a "liberal" training has.
been overworked and students should '
begin to see that their mission In col i
lege Is to think less of "culture" and

the science, purposes, benefits and
emoluments of their vocation or

that in .spite ot the contrary t tails of
