DOCTOR BESSEY
The student and the teacher they,
not bricks and mortar, are the real
University. The teacher the stimu
lator, the guide of the commonwealth's
youth he is what the student remem
bers to the end. So, for the Univer
sity to lose a great teacher and
thinker, is to suffer its profoundest
loss.
This loss the University today
mourns and will mourn for many days
to come. The passing of Doctor Bes
sey leaves a great void. To genera
tions of students this great, kind man
gave himself without stint, helping
them, they keep testifying, when he
might have been working more self
ishly for himself. To his associates
he brought the inspiration of a tire
less worker seeking in the field of
science to extend the borders of the
known and to lead young men and
women into that realm.
Students who knew him as teacher
and friend; his associates who en
joyed his confidence and help, and the
scientific world to which he gave so
much all are the poorer today.
THE FORUM
In reply to the letter published in
yesterday's Daily Nebraskan, I wish
to say that I believe the writer is in
the minority regarding smoking by
gentlemen when in the presence of
ladies.
Most girls do object to smoking.
This is a blunt statement, but I be
lieve it is the opinion held by most
University girls. I do not believe the
"objection is because of the unpleasant
ness of the smoking itself, as I believe
it is true that there are a large num
ber of girls who do not mind smoke,
but a larger number who do object,
and especially cigarette smoking.
Those who do not exactly dislike the
smoke, would probably not object if
the gentlemen refrained from smok
ing, and those who object would cer
tainly appreciate it
But eliminating the objection of the
smoke itself, let us consider the ques
tion from the standpoint of respect to
the girls.

Is a gentleman displaying the proper
attitude 'in smoking In the presence of
a lady. No, for it is generally con
ceded that smoking is a dirty, filthy
habit, and how any girl can possibly
enjoy even a limited amount of smok
ing is beyond my comprehension.
Does the 'asking of permission re
lieve the objection? It is my belief
that it does not, as we credit any
University girl with enough politeness
to sacrifice her Belflsh desire for a
good time in order that her gentle
man (?) friend may enjoy his smoke.
I do not see where any comparison
can be drawn between the modern
mode of dress and smoking.
Not being acquainted with the dif
ferent kinds of smoking, my opinions
are based upon general observations.
I have noticed that cigarette Bmoklng.
especially, develops a listless, care
less attitude.
I believe that the above opinions are
held by a majority of University girls
and that the published opinions of the
girls will clearly prove this.

liken's guard, and it is likely that he
will start the game at that position.
Thiessen and Campbell, the two little
substitute forwards, occupied the two
advance positions during the greater
portion of the practice session and
showed up to very good advantage.
Speed and accuracy in basket shoot
ing were combined in their play, and
they were the particular objects of
attsntion during the afternoon's go.
Some certain lew or ine transient
Inhabitants of University Place are
willing to pooh away the narrow
escape they had on the occasion of the
former engagement between the Husk
ers and Coyotes when they offered
two to one money on their team, and
it is rumored that they are duplicat
ing their previous proposition, cover
ing every Nebraska dollar with two
of just as good a make.

Dean Engberg addressed the joint
meeting of Tegner and Scandinavian
clubs last night on the subject of
"University Ideals." Nearly all the
Scandinavian members of the State
Legislature attended the meeting.
Senator Byglund spoke a few words
in Norwegian, followed by Representa

the relations between the three North
countries.

introducing the teaching of SwediBh
in public schools. Mr. RasrauRsen,
secretary of the Scandinavian club
told at some length of the conditions
of trade in Denmark at the present
time. Professor Alexis argued that
every true Northman ought to be able
to speak the three Scandinavian lan
guages fluently.
Dean Engberg said that the main'
object of University students should
not be to merely learn what is in the
different text-books, but to do some
real, honest philosophical thinking.
He told of the high standard ot schol
arship established by Scandinavians
in the early days of the University,
and said that it was the duty of the
present-day Northmen to uphold this
standard. He concluded his remarks
by saying that "no Scandinavian has
a right to flunk.". ,
