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.
NEBRASKA TO HAVE
ANOTHER GOOD BAND
Profeesor Cornell Organizing Students
at Farm Movement Meets With
Very Ready Response.
Prof. Cornell is making an effort to
organize a second band to be made up
of musicians at the farm and others
of the University who are not mem
bers of the regular band. The move
ment so far has met with ready re
sponse by musicians of both camps.
ELECTION REPORTS
INTEREST STUDENTS
Students Take a Live Interest in
Political Issue Many Watch
Returns Last Night.
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.
