CODE OF A SNOB
Of all the foibles and imperfections force.

If you wish your opponent to
of which human nature is capable,
perhaps the most detestable nnd Inex
cusable, the most disgusting and
odious is snobbishness. According to
the code of a snob, one should b-; mtv
careful to whom one :s decent-; it
smacks of the plebian to be really nice
to all of one's acquaintances; one
must be a bit exclusive a bit fastid
ious. This seems to be the idea, as
well as can be made out, but we are
compelled to admit that the psycholo
gy of the snob is difficult to fathom.
Just how their brain cells operate
to bring about the combination of re
sults that brands them "snobs" we
cannot explain, but there must be
some motive back of their actions.
This motive we have decided is pre
tense. The unnatural manifestations
a snob exhibits are caused by his
trying to be something he is not. If
he were himself, or herself, if he
were natural, wholesome and human
he would not be a snob.
There are, it must be confessed,
some students on the campus at the
university of Nebraska who are
afflicted with the malady of "snob
bishuess" but the species is fist be
coming so unpopular that the num
ber is steadily decreasing. The down
fall of the snob is certain. His philoso
phy is wrong. He is trying to be a
gentleman by overlooking the frst
rule of gentlemanly conduct consid
eration of -others.
New students who have come to
the University have often expressed
the beliefs that it is difficult to be
come acquainted they do cot feel at
home. In most cases they will find
that the chief difficulty is with them
selves. They wait for others to ofer
Instead of asking. The University is
a big family and every member, with
the exception of the few snobs," is
helping every other member. Men
and women of the npperclasses are
glad to counsel and advise the new
comers and freshmen should feel free
to ask them for help.
COALS OF FIRE
Once in a while the temptation to
grumble seems overpowering. Back
home or back of the lines where
monotony often enters, ome piece of
drudgery or some sacrifice may bring
out a complaint.
Whatever the temptation to grumble
may be, take a look t this picture
before doing so.
In the recent push to the Vesle a
Yank outfit fought its way forward

withdraw, beat him. Otherwise noth
ing is accom; iisbed and there is enly
one means to that end: the battle.
He emphasizes three essentials to
the successful conduct of var: "Prep
aration, mass. impulsk n" careful
planning for battle, the assembly of
a main body concentrated end reay
to carry out that plan, the ability to
hurl that mass, augmented as much
as possible, at the objective. Ho
speaks of the "theory of paitial
means and partial results" of "the con
quest of geographical objectives,"
and recalls approvingly Carnot's idea
of war as "the pursuit oi the enemy
to his complete destruction." He is
as strong for discipline and obedience
to orders as Napoleon van, I ut, like
Napoleon, he permits and even insists
upon the individual commander using
his own technique in carryin out the
directions of the central command.
"A leader must be a man capable of
understanding and planning for 'he
purpose of obeying. Active oledienco
is a necessary consequence- of the ap-
I peal made to initiative and of Ihe
tactical nse of small independent
masses." He emphasizes freedom of
action as a part of activ.; discipline
because it assures the movement of
the whole scheme through the actions
of all the participants. "Of all mis
takes," he says, "one only is disgrace
ful: inaction."
Finally, like Napoleon, he lays the
grea'tst stress on morale:
The old theory was that to be vic
torious one must have numbers, bet
ter armament, base of supplies. th2 ad
vantage of terrain. The armies of the
Revolution, Napoleon in particular,

merous, we are not better armed, tut
we shall beat you because by planning
we shall have greater numbers at the
decisive point; by our energy, our
knowledge ,our use of weapons we
shall succeed in raising our morale
and in breaking down yours.
It must be a delight to a soldier like
John Pershing to serve under Ferdi
nand Foch. And Foch must have felt
the same rapture at Sain; Mihiol that
a composer would enjoy in hearing the
interpretation of one of his pieces by
a great virtuoso. "Pinching off" the
Saint-Mihiel salient was probably in
tended as a maneuver for po.-ition on
a large scale. It was locked upon in
this light by the German strategists.
But it wns executed wuh such stvift-

In taking this action, however, the
university is confronted with serious
obstacles. The serum plant, while
still intact .and preserved by the in
stitution that it might be available to
meet an emergency such as has now
arisen, is nevertheless, inadequate to
accomplish the most economic results.
The employes of the university are al
ready fully oe--.;.ied, and it will be
necePc-.-y (o secure other and addi
tional men to conduct the serum work.
The university is provided with no
funds that are available for this work.
All of the revenues are fully engaged
and all of them seriously overloaded.
Were this not the case, the board is
advised that it would have - no legal
right to divert funds from their des
ignated object to this activity without
express legislative sanction. It hass
therefore, been arranged to meet this
situation from the cash fund and, if
necessary." by borrowing the money
The sums involved will necessarily be
considerable, as the present high price
of hogs, feed, labor and other Items
entering into this project will require
a considerable outlay. The regents
of the university, however, entertain
the confident expectation that the leg
islature of the state will recognize the
situation as it exists and will make
the proper appropriation at the earliest
possible moment to reimburse the in
stitution. A full report covering the
whole matter of expenditure will be
laid before you and the legislature at
the proper time. Also, the board will
prepare and present to you and to
the legislature suggestions as to the
extension and alteration of the exist
ing plant, should the legislature au
thorize the continuing use of it.
I have the honor to remain.
