Entered at the postofflce at Lincoln,
Nebraska, as second-class mall matter
under the act of Congress of March 3,
IS79.
An editorial writer, in the column
of his paper yesterday, remarked at
some length upon the danger of teach
ing the German language in the Uni
versity because, he reasoned, the ma
terializing influence of higher educa
tion places the youthful mind in a re
ceptive mood for the dangerous phil
osophy of kultur and "Deutschland
ueber Alles!" He seemed to regret
very much the fact that the influence
of the University was materialistic.
That is a matter not. to regret but to
rejoice over. For what he mistakes to
be a materialistic influence is the spirit
of scientific search for truth, which
brings the broadening of visioAs, the
jerking of blindfolds of dogma from
eager eyes, the opening up of limit
less vistas of thought and action.
While travelling down this dazzling
road the freshman may stumble once
or twice, or may momentarily loss his
way; will o the wisps may call him.
and he may heed their voices, but he
discovers his mistake and turns back
into the road once more, better for
the experience. He may be an atheist
for a while, probably during his soph
omore year, but when he has reached
the end of the trail, when he has come
to his maturity of Judgment, he will
have found his way back to the right
Toad, and he will have found it him
self. Give him credit for striking out
of his own accord, for throwing away
the "short course to the inherited
dogma of two thousand years" and
searching out the truth as it really is.
And- above all, acknowledge that he is
able even under such an influence to
choose between right and wrong to
stand for the prniciples of humanity
against the shallowness of Ordnung.
Seven hundred stars are sure to fly
in the University of Nebraska's serv
ice flag, which the faculty and student
patriotic league is making. There
should be three hundred more at least,
for there are that many additional
Cornhuskers in the sen-ice, according
to conservative estimates. Beginning
with yesterday's Issue, The Nebraskan
is publishing the list as it has so far
been compiled. Look over the names
day by day if you know of additions
that should be made, notify the alumni
secretary, so that every Nebraskan In
the service may receive recognition.
A continued policy of "knocking"
Dr. E. J. Stewart, Nebraska all-year
coach. Is being pushed by two Omaha
papers, notably The Omaha World
Herald. The splash that these publi
cations have made has not drawn in
a sufficient number of Nebraskans,
either students or alumni, to stamp It
with any kind of authority, and it Is
not to defend Dr. Stewart that The
Nebraskan mentions the campaign.
Cornhusker rooters long ago placed
Dr. Stewart's record on its merits.
And they would be willing to over
look this continual clamoring from
Omaha, since it is a chronic habit
which sports writers of the metrop
olis have had for a long time, if it
were not for the fact that it Is work
ing directly to the detriment of the
University. The hammering the Oma
hans have set up is sending high
school boys east Instead of to Ne
braska. Students care little them
selves what the Omaha writers think
about the way Nebraska football is
played and it probably will never
suit their taste until it Is played In
Omaha but Cornhuskers do resent
such a false representation of Ne
braska. Unjust criticism of this kind
Is uncalled for, not only because it is
silly, but because it is harmful to the
University and Cornhuskers should
CHRISTMAS PARTY IS
