Are you going to New York a week
from Saturday to see Nebraska play
Harvard? No, this is not simply a
pipe dream.
And by the way, the war is still
raging. So far no touchdowns have
been made. Russia at present is try
ing to make a play on center. Ger
many failed in an attempted end-run.
We Buggest that the referee call the
game on account of rough playing on
both sides.
STEALING IS STEALING.
We cannot agree that honesty is a
matter of locality and occupation.
The moral code of the student should
not differ essentially from that of
other people. By no known process
of reasoning can one arive at the con
clusion that stealing from a railroad
company is simply clever when done
by a football fan and a crime punish
able by Jail sentence when by a bar
ber. '

wholly, disappointed. The American
loves fair play. It did not take him
long -to find out that the allies were
lying deliberately about the progress
of the war; the calling by England
upon the yellow man offended general
ly; and the honest efforts of the more
Intelligent to post themselves upon
conditions and causes bore fruit. Our
president by public proclamation did
what he could to pour oil on the trou
bled waters.
"An appreciable improvement in feel
ing and a better understanding result
ed, upon which sensible people were
congratulating themselves, when, on
October 1st, appeared in the daily
papers an account of Professor F. M.
Fling's address at the convocation at
the state university on that morning.
"We had not expected in one small
package such an accumulation of mis
information, bias and . tactlessness.
Upon the causes of the war, who is to
blame for its breaking out, who 6hould
win, its effects, opinions differ, and it
is to be expected that in their Judg
ment men should be biased by their
sentiments. From all accounts the
German people are not only loyal, but
enthusiastic in their support of it.
England's joining in it led to the resig
nation of two, of Its cabinet members.
"No one Is to be blamed for his feel
ings or his opinions on the subject.
This, however, has nothing to go with

THAT'S ALL
the question of the propriety of tim
and place and spirit of the utterance
of such opinion, and when in a com
munity, which has many Germans and
in a university having many German
students, a professor makes use of bis
public official position to deliver him-
aelf of partisan and offensive utter
ances It is time to protest.
"The professor is entitled to bis
ideas, or lack thereof, on the war and
its causes and effects; his eyes may
see two or four Germany's where oth
ers' see one, but he should not have
committed the gaucherie of using the
university and his position as a teacher
to air partisan sentiments that are
calculated to stir up antagonism and
provoke resentments.
"We submit tothe regents that they
cannot afford to have our university
made use of for mischief by the pro
fessors. As a professor and a citi
zen Mr. Fling should spread enlighten
ment and promote good will. His ad
dress shows a failure to appreciate
this mission in either line. It has been
reported also .that Professor Fling de
votes regularly one-third of his time in
the class room to a discussion of the
war. We desire to Inquire, whether
this report is correct and in view of
the professor's pronounced partisan
ship, whether such action has your
sanction."

Dear Sir:
The Board of Regents of the Uni
versity acknowledge receipt of your
communication of the 18th instant and
in reply would say that we hereby
reiterate our approval of the Presi
dent's position of neutrality, and re
affirm our desire that good-will pre-,
vail among all-our citizens without re
gard to race distinctions.
The University of Nebraska, as all
other universities of the country, is
greatly indebted to German models
and to German ideals. Whatever may
be the outcome of the war, we trust
that the great contributions of the
Germans to education may continue.
One of the greatest of these is the
German conception of academic free
dom. Within reasonable bounds a pro
fessor in a German University may
teach what seems to him to be the
truth. Taking advantage of this free
dom eminent German professors have
not hesitated to attack state and so
ciety both at home and abroad in a
way that would hardly be tolerated
outside of a German speaking country.
You will remember that VIrchow at
Berlin was a member of the Reichstag
and opposed the policies of the Em
peror. Haeckel at Jena has been In
active opposition to organized Chris
tianity for half a century. At the
German University In Basel, Switzer
land. Nietzsche, "The Prophet of the
Mailed Fist," for many years indulged
in terrific abuse of German society
and customs.
The Regents believe that German
academic freedom should be permitted
to flourish in America and that Amer
ican citizens of German descent will
Join with them in being the last to
wish to curtail it, even though at times
it may be exercised In a way contrary
to their personal wishes and out of
harmony with the epnvictions of
friends of the University whose good
will the Regents are most anxious to
retain.
