CHANCELLOR SPEAKS
AT CONVOCATION
ADVISES THE FIRST YEAR CLASS
TO BE STUDIOUS
PHI KAPPA PSf GETS TROPHY
"Student Opportunities" the Subject
of His Address Urges Modera-
v tlon in Social Affairs
"Start Strongly
"Profoundly at peace and free from
agitation, this' ought to be a year of
internal expansion. Contracts for the
new buildings have been let We have
no state election to excite , our souls.
The University is involved in no con
troversy with its students or with the
public, and the members of Its fac
ulties are at peace with each other."
In an address on "The Students
Opportunities,- delivered at yester
day's convocation, Chancellor Samuel
Avery thus pictured the dawn of a
new and greater Nebraska. Before de
livering his address. Dr. Avery award
ed the Hainer Cup for excellence in
scholarship to the Phi Kappa Psi fra
ternity for "the second consecutive
year.
"Not everything in life has been
learned by the hard knocks of ex
peience,, was the manner in which
the Chancellor began his advice to
Freshmen. In substantiation of this
8tateemnt, he cited the frequent warn
ings received as children not to put
our hands on "the kitchen stove" and
to beware of the "mule's heels." Since
advice can be acquired without the
pain of experience. It Is hoped that
some of these words may be of ad
vantage to students In their course at
the University. He advised the Fresh
ment to develop an "Inner self-reliance,
but not to expect to be trans
formed from high school boys and
girls to academic citizens of a great
University without some Jolts and
Jars.
"The mortality among Freshmen is
too great There Is one formula that
would insure you against failure. It
is this: If you will resolve to be fully
abreast with your classroom work dur
ing the first eprlod of your career, you
will have no difficulty whatever in the
latter part
"As the result of over thirty years
association with students I can say
that almost without exception I have
seldom known a student to start in a
college course weakly and end strong
lv. I have seldom known a person to
start In strongly and end weakly. The
college course is a race In which tne
start is everything. Good school work
Is likely to become a matter of habit
Time duly Invested In your studies
is like money at Interest
To him who would succeed most
broadly, most splendidly In any line
of work, work must become a Joy.
One of the greatest characteristics of
the late Dr. HemT was that wider
his leadership the science of botany
became sport as well as work among
his students. Under his Inspiration
they wandered over the Nebraska hills
and valleys and studied botany with
the enthusiasm of those who are
watching the records of our great ball
teams. No one ever became great In
any subject that did not catch some
of this spirit Once in

PRODICALS MISSING
CHAMBERLAIN AND ABBOTT NOT
YET BACK IN FOLD
THE SITUATION IS CLARIFIED
Chamberlain's Father Off For Expos!-
tions Abbott in Town Yesterday
Freshmen and Varsity Will
Clash This Afternoon
Things are moving along at a good
ly pace in the Corahusker football
camp; the initial game with urate ia
but a few scrimmages away, and the
two prodigals, Chamberlain and Ab
bott have not yet returned to tne roia.
T-ntA developments have clarified the
situation in regard to these two stars
so vital to Nebraska's success. tTom
Chamberlain's town comes the authen
tic news that his father will leave for
California In a few days on the pro
posed trip to the expositions. No
inkling was to be had from Coach
Stiehm whether this finally settled the
question of Chamberlain's return, but
it complicates the situation and will
be the source of new problems to
raIva before his fate will be definitely
decided. Stiehm, although he has not
given up all hope of seeing Chamber
lain back in football clothes, gives
little encouragement to the plausibil
ity of his return.
Mnther" Abbott turned up as ex
pected yesterday aTtemooa to scan
the situation, but returned to his home
in David City later in the day, a-om-
panled by Big Tim Corey. Although
Abbott's visit was brief, one thing was
learned to a certainty, ana t&at is
the Mr iniard wants to get back
into moleskins. It seems that like In
the case of Chamberlain, the attitude
ani notions of the pater-familla is
playing a leading part in his decision.
A real scrimmage neiween iu
elevens picked from the varsity squad
was the main number on yesterday's
practice program. WlUr Quarterbacks
Caley and Cook directing the play of
two respective teams, a real battle of
some thirty minutes duration was in
dulged in. The work of Paul Shields
at his regular guard" position was the
feature. Caley showed unexpected
form in handling the varsity eleven.
In one corner of the field two fresh
man teams fought each other up and
down one corner of the field among
much enthusiasm of the crowd of
spectators In a pepful scrimmage
which promises many a good workout
for the varsity in the days to come.
Several of the first year performers
are already showing class which marks
them as future luminaries.
After signal drill this afternoon, the
sIm nd varsity will clash in
forty minute battle, on Nebraska field.
