SECOND SYMPHONY CONVOCATION THURSDAY Composed When Beethoven Was Only Thirty-Two Years of Age Little Trace of Sorrowful Mood. Beethoven's Second Symphony will be given at convocation next Thurs day at 11 o'clock in Memorial hall. It is planned to give the entire series of Beethoven's symphonies, the first hav ing been presented three weeks ago. These renditions of famous musical works by strings and organ under the direction of Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond are-, prominent features in the cultural activities of the university, and the hall on these occasions is always thronged, not only by the student body but also by Lincoln music lovers gen erally. The second symphony was composed about 1802. and is, like the first, in the accepted classical syle, following the form, if not the ideas of his pre decessors-, Haydn and Mozart. It is interesting to note that although Bee thoven's deafness was already Increas ing, and in consequence he was often greatly depressed In mind, as is known from external sources, nevertheless this symphony shows no indication of deep seated melancholy. On the con trary it Is one of tine most brilliant and triumphant musical pieces that had hitherto ever been written. Even the lovely Larghetto, one of the best knovn and most admired of Bee thoven's compositions, has in its flow ing melody but little trace of the Inner sorrow that darkened his later life. He was still young thirty-two and ho had still the courage and buoyancy of young manhood. The performers next Thursday will be Mr. E. J. Walt, first violin; Mrs. August Molzer, second violin; Mr. Wil liam T. Quick, viola; Miss Lillian Eiche, violincello, with Mrs. Raymond at the organ. BRYAN GIVES TALK SPEAKS FORTY-FIVE MINUTES AT CONVOCATION. LARGEST NUMBER IN HALL Introduced by Chancellor Avery Ad dress Covered the Relation of Man to Government, to Society and to His God. "Throughout the world Lincoln is known as the residence of William Jennings Bryan. Lincoln bears the additional distinction of being the loca tion of the University of Nebraska. Hence it is peculiarly fitting that this morning I should be able to present Secretary Bryan to the University of Nebraska. Secretary Bryan." With these few, well chosen remarks Chan cellor 'Avery gracefully yielded the platform to the secretary of state of the United States and took his seat amid deafening applause. For forty-five minutes Secretary Bryan addressed probably the largest audience that has ever crowded Memorial Hall. Yet whenever he paused for a moment the ticking of the clock could be heard throughout the room, so intensely did the students await his next words. The subject of his address was Oi especial interest to students, dealing, as it did, with the relation of man to the government, the relation of man to society and the relation of man to God. Whether speaking for church or state Lincoln's distinguished states man has never failed to leave the im pression that resulted in the apt appel lation, "silver tongued." Illustrating thJirst topic of his speech with the Bible 6tory of Lazarus, he said that while the aristocrat would be telling how lucky it was for Laza rus that Dives was these the democrat would be devising a way to provide table and food for all, so none would have to take the fallen crumbs. The relation between man and society, or service and reward, he con sidered next. He said in part: "A man can rightfully collect from society only as much as he earns. Those who have earned five million dollars were too busy to collect it. Those who have collected it were too busy to earn it." In his consideration of the last topic he said that religion could be monopo lizd by no church. 'He spoke on this subject with fully as much grace, dig nity and familiarity as any ordained pastor, and presented his statements in a. way that will be remembered. The immense crowd was composed not only of students. Gray haired men and small grade children were as eager to hear and 6ee as the university men and women. On the platform with Chancellor Avery and the others, appeared A. R. Talbot, former law partner of Secre tary Bryan's and now at th head of the Modern Woodmen.

At time of going to press last night no definite returns from the election were available but it was Interesting to note the interest which the student body took in the different questions. The Laws left school in a body yester day morning to work at the different polling plaoea, but they were not the only ones from the 4,000 students at Nebraska who were prominent around Uh.i polls. Many of the state and local candidates have relatives in the Uni versity and of course everyone of them has a lot of frtends in school working for him. Even the co-eds are wearing tags mostly yellow posters and are doing their share of the electioneering. If all the ladies in the state are as en thusiastic oveT suffrage as the Uni versity girls the amendment will carry by 50,000. majority. There are bound to be some close races this year but all may rest as assured that no matter who wins the jobs some' will be pleased. Here's to the winners. Hortense Kauffman, '14, who is teaching in Geneva, Nebraska, came up last night to sp.?nd a short time with her ters and friends while on her way to the' Teachers' Association at Omaha. HALF NUMBER OF SWIMMERS RESPOND Seventy-seven Registered But Only Twenty-Four Bought Tickets Will Open When Fifty Sign. In response to a notice tacked up in the gym several days ago, seventy seven girls have registered for a swimming class to be conducted by Miss Parks and Miss Beghtol at the Y. M. C. A. pool on Wednesdays from 9:00 to 11:30 a. m. Twiemty-four girls have already bought tickets. The class will be started as soon as fifty tickets are sold. Miss Parks is highly pleased with the ready response to hef efforts along this line Co-ed Athletes at Texas Complain. Intercollegiate contests and games open to the public are the ends to a campaign which is now being staged by the co-ed athletes of the Univer sity. The girls complain that, under present conditions, it is impossible to arouse any interest. Basketball is practically the only game open to the gfrls; only class games are played; and they are played under cover of the gym. The present campaign "has been re newed "every autumn for the last few years. Great impetus was given it two years ago when the Southwestern University co-ed basketball team was allowed to come to Austin. Not know ing the restrictions under which the Ttxas girls played, the S. U. girls brought their coach, who was a man. He was excluded from the game and spent the tlmo in the parlor of the woman's building. The visitors had to play the game by means of a line of communication between a window of the parlor and a window of the gym below. The absurdity of the situation provoked a campaign, which the girls declare they will bring to an end dur ing the present session. Daily Texan. HUSKERSJ DANGER CAN MORNINGSIDE CRUSH CORN-HUSKERS? FOOD FOR MUCH THOUGHT Team Is Doing Only Light Signal Practice These Days Stiehm Will Scout the Kansas-Washburn Game Himself. By H. I. Kyle "Can the Morningsiders crush the Cornhuskers?" This, according to the Sioux City Tribune, is the big ques tion that is obsessing the minds of Sioux City fans this week. Beside it, the election and the war sink into in significance. It is being debated on every corner, and on all occasions, by the ambitious sports of the Sunrise School. They argue it this way: Ames held the Cornhuskers for forty five minutes, Saturday. This is un doubtedly an indication that Nebraska is deteriorating rapidly, for did she not defeat the Michigan Aggies only the week before? Now, then, since the Huskers have hit the toboggan, is it not reasonable to suppose that they will be even more demoralized when they face the Morningside Ma roons than they were in the Ames game? Why, certainly. Sure. Also, is there anyone in, or near Sioux City, who doubts for one moment, that Morningside is represented by a much stronger team than that of Ames Of course not. Perish the thought! What odds if Waiter Eckersall still insists that the Cornhuskers are con tenders for Western championship honors. Walt has never seen Morn ingside in action. It is barely possible that he doesn't realize that Morning side has a team this year. The Tribune also announces that straight football will be used by the Maroons in their effort to "crush" the Corn huskers. An equally interesting chirp comes from Topeka to the effect that IF Washburn beats K. U. next Saturday, and K. U. trims the Huskers on No vember 14th, THEN Topeka fans will be entirely satisfied with life. All of which goes to show that Nebraska is now recognized as the football leader of this section of the country. Meanwhile Coach Stiehm is allow ing his husky champions a rest this week, in the hope they will recover entirely from the various sprains and bruises that have been annoying them since the season began. Only light signal practices have been held so far this week. Coach Stiehm will attend the K. U.-Washburn game next Sat urday, leaving the team in charge of Assistant Coach Hoeffel for the game with Morningside. COMMERCIAL CLUB LECTUREON THURSDAY J. E.
