IN MEMORY OF DR. H. K. WOLFE
Students, faculty members, and citizens of Lincoln, will gather
in Memorial Hall Sunday afternoon, to attend services In memory
of the late Dr. H. K. Wolfe, of the University. Up until the time of
his death, Dr. Wolfe was one of the most active of the country's
prominent educators and psychologists. For over a quarter of a
century he served in the employ of the Nebraska schools. Most of
this time he spent at the University of Nebraska, as the head of
the Department of Psychology. His death has left a vacancy that
probably can never be filled by another instructor in the hearts of
his many student friends.
Dr. Wtolfe died last August, at the -age of fifty-nine years, at
Wheatlands, Wyoming, while he was on his brief vacation, after
an unusually trying year of work in the winter and summer ses
sions of college.
While he was a brilliant scholar, and a loading psychologist.
Dr. Wolfe was preeminently an unselfish, sympathetic professor. It
was as such that he endeared himself to his pupils. He gave to
the limit of his physical, mental, and moral strength to his stu
dents. No one ever came to him for help who did not Veceive his
full attention, and sympathy, and who did not become stimulated
with the vigor, honesty and extreme kindliness of his vigorous per
sonality. Dr. Wolfe was at all times magnetic. Many students
registered for work in his department, not for the sake of the work
primarily, but because of a desire to know the man.
Second only to his personality, was the message he gave to
those who sat in his classroom. He had the powvr to make his
pupils think. He constantly awakened ideas which will leave a
lasting memory in the minds of those who were fortunate enough
to hear his lectures, and to be guided by his influence.
We, the students, who have known and loved Dr. Wolfe, come
to realize after several months in which we have missed him
severely, how much, he contributed to the University to which he
gave all that was best of himself during his life.
A BAD YEAR FOR KINGS
A venerable institution is disappearing from Europe mid almost
vanishing from earth. With the possible exception of the Emperor
of Japan there will soon not be a king left in the world by whoso
favor one can expect to gain anything more important than a
household job or whose displeasure can be attended by consequences
more serious than exclusion from a court ball. There are still quite
a lot of figures-of-speech in purple breeches; but kingship, as Henry
VIII and Louis XIV knew it, has practically disappeared.
In its time this vanishing institution was a very useful one
a decided advance over what it supplanted. By and large it was
the king who led Europe out of feudal anarchy and consolidated
the modern state. When barons held their sway was an ill time
for common folks. In the long struggle for power between king
and baron the interests of the people usually lay on the side of the
king, whose strategy consisted in attaching the people to him in
order to put down the feudal lords.
English barons rebelled again King John not at all because he
was a tyrant but only because he trenched upon the power and
privileges of their order. Critics nowadays say that John's inno
vations, which the barons resisted, were really in the direction of
progress a leading toward the modern state. If the grim gentle
men who forced John to sign the Great Charter could have been
acquainted with the latter-day myth that they were animated by u
passion for popular liberty they would undoubtedly have sat down
and laughed their shaggy heads oft'.
There was once a valid reason why people should cry "Long
live the king!" But the reason tended, to disappear as soon as the
k'ng, having overcome the barons, f?ot undisputed power into his
own hands. Naturally he used the power for his own glory and
the aggrandizement of his family about as the barons had before
him. All imaginable devices for 'governing people by one man or
by a .small set of imn have been tried, the governors taking such
name as king, lord, doge, senate, and what not. Some of the
schemes have been better than others, but none finally answered.
And in the year of Our Lord 1918 civilized people broadly speak
ing took the Job of governing into their own hands, following an
example set by the United States a hundred and forty-two years
earlier. Saturday Evening Post.
