There Is no place for rest or peace of mind, or that meditative relief which in our country we feel to be needed for the health of our Bplrits." He brings with him a message that we need, especial ly at this time of war and strife, a message that would turn our thoughts to a quieter life. Sir Rabindranath was born of one of the oldest, most distinguished fam ilies of Bengal. India. His father, Devendranath Tagore, was also a philosopher and leader of the liberal movement Tagore attended school in the prov ince of Bengal and when he wrote his first novel at the" age of nineteen, he was already famous. Plays written when he was but little older, are still played In Calcutta. Between his twenty-fifth year to his thirty-fifth he had a great sorrow and at this time wrote some of the most beautiful love poetry in onr language. Since then his art has grown deeper. It became religious and philosophical; ail the as CORN FACULTY FROLIC IN MID-WINTER PICNIC Professors Exhorted to Bring Lunches Program in Music Hall After Feast Tbe annual mid-winter faculty pic nic will be held at the University Temple, Wednesday, January 10, at 6:30 p. m.

STEWART INAUGURATES CROSSCOUNTRY JOGS Schedule of Indoor and Outdoor Meets is Arranged Room for More Men For the first lime in a number of years Nebraska track athletics will have the advantage of winter training. Dr. Stewart has taken the squad of cinder path athletes in hand and will see that a dally program of cross country jogging is carried out by all tho men. Dr. Stewart spoke to about forty five men, who are Interested in track work, at a meeting last Thursday. He emphasized the value of winter work, using as examples of what may be accomplished by all year training, some of the great athletes of the east and the coast. Equipment for outdoor work has been given to about fifty men, among them many freshmen. A Good Schedule A very atractive schedule has been arranged for the track athletes this year, including an indoor meet with Kansas Aggies, an indoor meet at the K. C. A. C, and out door meets with Ames, Kansas, Kansas Aggies, Minne sota. In addition to these dual meets, representatives will be sent to the Missouri valley conference meet, to tbe western conference meet and to the Drake relay meet. Track has been far below the stand ard of other sports at Nebraska for several years, but It is hoped that with the attention of one man direct ed only to the track athletes the sport will win back the place It once held at the institution. Men are wanted for every place, and especially for the sprints, the dis tances, the weights, the Jumps and the hurdles. to the Oliver theatre instead of Art hall for both the 5 o'clock and 7 o'clock rehearsals. Those who come at 7 will remain for the program. The stage door will be open' to members of the chorus, who are requested to be prompt at both rehearsals.

NAMES COMMITTEE ON JOURNALISM STUDY CHANCELLOR APPOINTS FACULTY TO PLAN FOR EXTENSION Dean Davis of the Arts and Sciences College is Chairman Other Members Dean Ellery W. Davis of the college of arts and sciences, Prof. S. B. Gass, Prof. M. M. Fogg, Prof. H. B. Alex ander, and Prof. J. E. LeRossignol were appointed a committee for ex tending and correlating the work in Journalism at the University, by Chan cellor Avery, Saturday. The appointments were announced at a meeting of the faculty senate. The senate, at the preceding meeting dur ing the Christmas holidays, had in Etructed the chancellor to appoint such a committee, after a report of another committee, adverse to estab lishing colleges of journalism and commerce, had been adopted. The committee may be able to report on the plans for extending tho Jour nalism studies in sufficient time to have the results of its investigations incorporated into the curriculum dur ing the second semester. The Work at Present At present tbe work in journalism Pt the University consists in three classes, one in newswriting, another in news editing, and a third in edi torial writing.

This school is the nearest thing to his heart and he is now lecturing in America to obtain money for it, He also gave the $40,000 he received in the Nobel prize for poetry In 1913 towards his school fund. Sir Rabindranath'8 name is a house hold word in Bengal among the rich and poor alike. The age in which he lives has been called "The Age of Ra bindranath," showing his great popu larity and esteem in which he is held. He has a rare combination of saintly and active personality; a type which east an J west alike may reverence and accept as ideal. We have no similar figure in the west. Some of Tagore's best known works are: "OitanJlal," on which he won the Nobel prize; "The Gardner." a book of poems; "Crescent Moon," children's poems; and "Sadhana, or the Realiza tion of Life," a philosophical composi tion on life. His stories and books are better known than his dramas. Tonight will be a rare opportunity to hear a man so honored as a speak er in his own land that people not only stand in halls and meeting placed to hear him, but they crowd outside waiting to hear the sound of his voice. TIMES BASKETBALL TEAM WINS FROM COTNER SEASON OPENED WITH EASY VIC TORY BY SCORE OF 42 TO 10 Huskers Show Surprising Strength Captain Campbell and Flothow Scored Most Goals The Nebraska basketball team unofficially- opened the season last Fri day night when they took the Cotner five to a cleaning by the Bcore of 42 to 10, in a practice game. Although pitted against an admit tedly weak team, the Cornhiiskers showed a surprising amount of real basketball for so early in the season. Their passing was clean and their shooting was accurate. Captain Campbell and Flothow starred for the Nebraskans, although Wertz and Collins at guards did fine work. The Cotner Ave started out strong and held the Cornhuskers almost even for about half of the first half. How ever, Flothow suddenly took sick or something like that and rolled four baskets in quick order. This left the suburbanites hopelessly in therear, but in order to be perfectly safe Camp bell increased his total for the half to three and Nelson added two more. Parminter in Game While the Nebraskans were making a large majority of the points it was up to Parminter of the visitors to pro duce the thrills. He collected two field goals of the most sensational type, while his teammate Brltt added one, making the total for the half, three. Neither side succeeded in getting any free throws during the first half although several chances were of fered. At the beginning of the second half the Nebraska varsity started the scor ing without delay. After about five minutes of play a general substitution was made in the Cornhusker line-up. Collins replaced Wertz, Flynn re placed Nelson and Jackson went in for Flothow. The new combination was almost as effective as the old and it was but a matter of guessing how large the score would be. A Four Days' Trip The varsity will leave on a four days' trip either this afternoon or to morrow morning. If a game can be scheduled with the Brandeis team of Omaha the start will be made this afternoon and that game will be played tonight. If that game is not on the bill the first game will be with "Simpson college of Indlanola la. Games with Grlnnell college and St. Joseph's college of Dubuque will follow. All the men are In fine shape and the trip is expected to result in a clean sweep for the Cornhuskers If everything goes all right with the team.
