1916. in -its numbers
and quality, is indicative of the
steady growth of the university. In
many respects it has raised the stan
dard for future classes. It has now
the opportunity of continued service
to the university and of wider serv
ice to the state. The university can
have no better asset than loyal alum,
nt The state can have no better as
set than well trained citizens.
The recent action of - the faculty
council in regard to abolishing the
mathematics and ancient languages
requirements for Phi Beta Kappa is
to be commended. It seems strange
that a western university should have
clung more tenaciously to the conserv
ative restrictions than did the east
ern institutions.
Phi Beta Kappa is regarded as. a
general student honor. While the old
requirements existed, however, the
honor was out of reach of a large
number of excellent students who did
not choose to take the required math
ematics or ancient language. The ac
tion of the council makes the Phi
Beta Kappa in reality what it has
only been nominally before, the Arts
and Sciences students' honorary schol
astic fraternity. Consequently, the
standards of the society will be rais
ed and the respect of the student
body for. it will be Increased.

lie beyond themselves. A long while
ago someone very, confidently stated
that to make a certain Kingdom and
righteousness one's chief aim 'was a
sure way of overcoming a form of
anxiety that simply means a wrong
emphasis in life. .
Xfv Rnaeialty. in so far as my Jim-
llted attainments may be worthy of
such description, is religion.
I what gladly think that Mr. Balfour
was right when he. said that " rell

which, necessarily, under our Ameri
can system of education, , baa little
emphasis in a college course. A col
lege course?' howevor. In any depart
ment of human learning, has been a
discinlW It it . has not
aroused a call in the life for a larger
understanding of the philosophy ana
prospect of the Christian religion.
If, then, I may be permitted an "ex
hortation" at such a time as this, to
the men and women who today re
ceive at the hands of chceen authori
ties of the state a certain recognition
and acknowledgement, it would be a
brief and worthy utterance of Paul,
the Apostle, who, in his letter to the
Philippians t Weymouth's translation),
"prays that their love may be more
and more accompanied by clear
knowledge and keen perception, for
testing things that differ, so that they
may be men of transparent character,
and may be blameless be
ing filled with the fruits of righteous
ness." I shall hope that as the days
fttid rears come and and go, a riper
understanding will accompany a deep
ening enthusiasm for that program 01
life which was laid down by Him who
first and foremost of us all gave Him
self unswervingly to a costly but joy
ful service to His fellowmen.

RELIGIOUS LIFE DEPT
TO THE CLASS OF 1916
For the last few weeks, at the re
quest of The Daily Nebraskan, the
university pastors have been contrib
uting a few articles dealing with the
religious life of university students.
Perhaps on this day of graduation it
"is appropriate that the final one for
the year shall be inserted. I had
hoped that an article from Mr. Ewing,
now eneased in the work among the
prison camps of Europe, might be on
hand for this issue. Giving his fer
vent and enthusiastic life, as much as
in him lies, to bring some comfort to
men whose lives are being warped
intj the ways of hatred by the trage
dv of our iTnft, it seemed especially
fitting that he should have a word for
us.. It is probably on its way.
I believe that I speak not only for
myself, but also for the other men
who stand in the relationship of wel
corned representatives of the church
at large to the university ana its
youth, when I say that few men have
a greater pride in the graduates of
1916 than do we. It has been our priv
ilege to have known many of them
through the entire four years' course.
It is with real gratitude and sincere
joy that we 6ee them go forth,' know
ing a we do, that practically all of
them will ever be found worthy repre
sentatives . of a great Alma Mater,
wise and helpful interpreters to their
fellowmen of a way of life that leads
upwards. There "are those who will
live selfish lives, probably unattached
to any great cause and oblivious of
any real enthusiasm. They are few
in number; beyond them will be the
many who do not fear to serve, find-

is contradiction and discord because
the common man suspects that the
old order of things is inadequate. The
necessity for mutual understanding,
for settling of disputes, for respect
for law, is dictated by actual lawless
