IVY DAY: A DAY OF DEDICATION Today we have celebrated the most representative of Nebraska gala days. University "traditions have been re cited before us. A deeper Nebraska spirit has pervaded all. Nothing has been lacking to make the day one to inspire us with a sense of the greatness of our alma mater. To the senior class, this day bears a certain regret. The coming month marks for Its members their last participation in school affairs. Only as returning alumni will they witness the titanic struggles of the warriors of the gridiron. For them the gaity of Nebraska's social evenings will live only in reverie. Their return to the institution Vill ever be greeted by new names, new faces, and even a new campus. Those departing have been privil eged to see great development in Ne braska affairs. They have seen the university placed among the best in the nation along athletic lines. They have seen student activities placed on a more proper basis; They have seen the people of the state rise to the oc casion and make proper provision for a great institution in the future. The next month will probably see the proper foundations for a greater and more profitable student, life. But the rerl benefits of these changes must come to the student of the future. As the Ivy -Day orator so ably said this morning, you stu dents who are to remain at Nebraska next and the following years have in herited greater opportunities than the most radical of former years dream ed of. These added opportunities are- equivalent to greater responsibilities. Students of the past have worked wonders for Nebraska during her pioneer life. The accomplishments of her maturity must be greater. You, members of the student body of the future, must produce greater warriors than ever before. You must be bet ter scholars. Your student life must be conducted with a broader vision, a greater desire to make student ac tivities a great educational factor. Not content with the glory of the generations gone before, therefore, let us dedicate ourselves to the greater responsibilities before use. On this day, sacred to Nebraska traditions, permeated with the deeper Nebraska spirit, let us consecrate our services to a Greater Nebraska, that the uni versity of the future may rise to the greatest dreams of the generations of faithful gone before. pi a u n :l ill This boot will do the work Comes In White, Pearl Grey, Dove Grey, Ivory and Champagne, priced $4.50, $5.00, $5.50, $6.00, $7.00 Cafe-a-La, a new color, with white tcp $7.50 White Sport Boots Rubber Sole and Heel $3.50 LUCILE LEYDA WRITES SENIOR CLASS POEM Colonial Pumps Cornea In Pearl Grey, Dove Grey, White, Dull and Patent Leather $4.00, $5.00 and $6.00 Yhite Sport Oxford Rubber Soles and Heels Black Trimmed $2.45 SYUL Si The Ivy Day poem was written by Lucile Leyda. It was read this morn lng as a part of the- ceremonies at tendant upon the crowning of the May Queen and the planting of the Ivy: The poem is given below: I . Ere we depart, life's various ways to take, Let us some noble end our lode star make, A joy In peace, solace in storm and stress, Let this our soul's aim be True use fulness. II Although this goal toward which our hearts aspire. Grows dim and fades into the sordid mire Of disappointment, jealously and hate, Still must we bravely strive to laugh at fate. Ill Still seek to rise above the earthly clod, With grim persistence and with faith in God, Choke back .the baser passions of the soul, Remembering that through love we reach our goal. IV We cannot order what our lives shall be. A will, all powerful, shapes our des tiny, We can through striving after fate's command, And for the nobler, loftier, take our stand. V Press onward, all undaunted still, Accept whatever fate be Heaven's will, Look to thy fellowman in helping him, Thine own cross lightens, thine own grief dims. VI Nor must we ever let our selfish slant Toward personal pleasure, our true goal supplant, The moss and rust of vain conceit. false pride, Corrupts the soul where seTfishness abides. VII The cheery word and smile, the soft caress, Kind words, the gene'ral mien of hap piness Will prove more useful and relieve more tears. Than all the fame and wealth acquired In years. VIII So, as each his classmates bids "God speed," We ask fulfillment of our chosen creed. We'll hold that each of us achieves success Who gains that worthiest goal True usefulness.
