"When the war is over"
Thub does hope ever dominate the
human heart. Americans, although
they have not yet even tasted of the
bitter medicine of deep suffering, are
using this phrase with increasing
ease. Unannounced, the dove of peace
seems to have whispered in our ears
a vague promise that soon, very soon,
all the nasty business will be done.
The Nebraskan wonders, sometimes,
if it were not a German carrier pigeon
In disguise that gave us our careless
confidence. Ungrounded optimism,
when it hinders, the execution of the
work at hand, will do much to post
pone the dawn of peace. All of us
hope that the day of the kaiser's doom
Is not far off, but we should not allow
that hope to loosen our grip on the
situation. It is obviously to Ger
many's advantage for us to spend our
time in hoping; it is less to its liking
if we lock that hope in our hearts
and, with tightened lips, throw still
more energy with the power that must
assure the final success of right and
the eventual coming of a satisfactory
peace.
The -work of this semester's editor
ial staff of The Nebraskan ends with
today's issue and the time for retro
spection has come. In its editorial
policy the paper has tried to meet
the problems of a war-time college
and has, as in the past, based its out
look on an unshaken faith In the Uni
versity of Nebraska. Suggestion,
rather than cynical criticism, has been
its philosophy.
The editor of The Nebraskan has
fully appreciated the unusual privi
lege of helpine to mould college senti
ment at a time when the iron is hot,
and the responsibility of such a charge
has made impossible a vaudeville dis
play of patriotism. The paper has
tried most of all to reflect the true
Americanism of the University; it
has stood for patriotism in its sane,
not in Its delirious interpretation. It
has held firmly to the belief that
every American will do his duty with
out expectation of praise and has for
that reason devoted more time to cen
suring misdirected loyalty than to ad
vertising the great work that Ne
braska has done and will continue to
do.
Inwardly the University has been
in a position to accomplish little in
undergraduate reform; the problem
has been one largely of adjustment, of
Siting itself to the harness of war,
and to the promotion of this The Ne
braskan has directed its efforts. In
dividual and community economy, and
more especially, individual responsi
bility, have been its aim.
With this summary The Nebraskan
again reaches the present. One-half
of the college year has now been
passed, and during that half-term stu
dents have done much; there is much
more to do. To this work The Ne
braskan leaves ibem.
Mrs. Raymond explalued that at
tbe last minute the string quartet
was unable to come, that it was lnv
nosslble to tune the piano up to the
organ and that Harold Lewis had
developed a magnificent case of
hIob. In BDite of all theso dlf
Acuities the program was enjoyed
very .much by those who could leave
their cramming long enough to'come
and hear It.
