The secret of success in life is for
a man to be ready for hi sopportunity
when it comes. Disraeli.
And "Pete" Harrison claims he had
nothing to do with it.
The first game of the World Series
was a clinching argument as to the
food value of beans.
The debate between the Non-partisan
Howell Club and the ' Wilson
Democratic Club will be worth attending.
So the World-Herald didn't like Dr.
Fling's Convocation address. Is it
possible that a wish to cater to "Hoch-Der-Kaiser"
subscribers prompted the
editorial? Thank Heavens! the elec
tion will soon be over.
A PROBLEM.
One of the problems of the Univer
sity is how, among a great many other
competing interests, to give the intel
lectual side more prominence and dis
tinction. It is humiliating but true
that scholarship In most colleges and
universities does not hold first place
in the interests of the students.
Phi Beta Kappa keys are openly
sneered at. That the only reason for
the existence of a university as a
university is intellectual training is
forgotten in the chase after the frivo
lous and those things which give
momentary popularity.
It is true athletics, society and
school politics have their place. They
are pleasant and beneficial diversions.
But, after all, they are only side
shows not the real thing. The great
and continuous work of the Univer
sity of Nebraska must be to inculcate
into us the spirit of scholarship.
Men and women who win distinc
tion in the classroom ought to be
given more prominence. In the law
college all grades are posted for
public inspection. How would it be
to publish the names of those receiv
ing the highest grades? And why
would it not be possible and feasible
to work out a Bystem whereby schol
arship could be rewarded with a 'var
sity "N"?
