A number of clubH aie in existence
in tbo University which arc but slight
ly connected with University life and
yet of sufficient importance to war
i ant their being better known to the
student body. These clubs, (ailed
county or locality clubs, arc made
up of groups of students irom the
same town or county. Thev meet at
irregular inteivalH and so quietly that
their meeting is often unnoticed Yet
they are accomplishing a purpose in
arousing a University spirit among
theli membeiH, sonic of whom might'
not be reached in anothei way
Theii main puipose in existing Is to
perpetuate the friendships begun In
high school days, and foi this reason
their meetings are of a social nature
Their membership vaiies from ten to
forty members.
One ol the best known ol these and
perhaps the strongest In Univeislty af
fairs, is the Omaha club It has been
In existence about two years and at
present is guided by the skilled hand
of Stuait Gould. The main purpose
ot the organization is to boost the
University in the eyes ol Omaha peo
ple, the high school student especially.
The Nuckolls County club Includes
students from Superior, Nelson, Hardy
and other towns In that county It
was organized fle or six years ago,
and has held, on an average, three
meetings a yeai There arc about
thhty members, mostly students It
is purely social in nature The Keai
ney and Pern clubs aie organizations
of a similar nature, meeting once or
twice a yeai to renew old acquaint
ances. The Hawkeye and Illinois
clubs were started several years ago
by ambitious, alumni, but have gradu
ally disappeared and no attempt has
been made to revive them A group of
Wyoming students organized last year,
held two or three meetings, elected of
ficers, und this year no meeting has
been held.
There are otheis which are so mod
est in their pretentions that nothing
definite can be learned of them. They
have moments of activity, and then
disappear for u time, to spring up
after a lapse of months. Usually they
are called by a former resident of a
town who now lives in Lincoln, and
for several meetings they serve their
purpose, when the novelty wears off
they lie down until a later date.
These clubs have it In their power
to become influential advertisers of
tho University throughout the state,
and the oftlciuls of the University are
