Here on the campus are hun

no more than logical that the executive

more than the pastors of the Lincoln

requires the attention of specialists,
men fitted by observation and study
to the task. The university recog

thf assistance tendered.
It might be well to add, that Ne
braska was one of the first universities
to have a student pastor, and that the
movement has now spread to all the
large universities of the country. In

gnller in Library Hall Saturday night

That Enrollment Question.

until on know whether this year's

ear's The university is over crowd

acre or two of young people try every
ears to take university training who
were never meant for scholars and
annot be made such. The state would
pel haps be better educated and more
prosperous and happy if half the can-
didates for degrees were switched In
to fields they are better adapted to
cultivate But no matter all that. Wo

state university and at Wesleyan and
at all the colleges doesn't gain this
fall we shall each and severally feel
that things are going to the dogs.
