Entered at the postoftice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second class .
mail matter under t-he Act of Congress of March 3, 1879.
The T'niversity is given oiu- day in which to make a hundred
per cent in its Red Cross campaign. Nebraska has made a record
to to proud of during the war. The men who have been gone are
coming back. Our college life is being restored to its former status.
Our war activities are almost a thing of the past.
There remains one way for us to show our patriotism. It is by
subscription to the Red Cross. For every student who can subscribe
and does not it means one person whose sxmpathies wiih the war
were not lasting, it is the aim of the RedCross to "extend every
courtesy, every service, and every as-sistance that lies within its
power." Such has been its policy toward the American soldiers and
to the soldiers of all the armies whose countries were engaged in
the war. There is no nobler aim. no more worthy purpose than that
which the Red Cross sas set out for itself.

AMERICAN PROVINCIALISM
Vvprv nnfinn Is prnvincinl- no nation understands the psychology
of other nations. The erudite Germans lost the war chiefly through
misunderstandings of the souls of the tree peoples. The most im
portant factor in a nation is its philosophy of life. To know the
philosophy of a foreign nation means to know how it answers the main
questions about life. Its answers are found in its history, its litera
ture, its business standards, its standards of honor and taste, its
courts and political institutions, its conception of ideal personalty,
its energy, resources and will-power.
It is no disgrace to Americans that they have neglected tne
study of Europeans and Asiatics. They save a whole world in their
own country; they have been busy developing it; they have had littl
incentive to bother about foreign countries. They have been provin
cial without narrowness.
The war has changed all that. Millions of our coming rulers
have seen Europe and thought deeply about world affairs.
We shall reap the harvest of our costly war if we go ahead
now. We must carry-on. We must not sail into a glassy sea,-and
stagnate. The world is becoming smaller every year. The measure
of its size is the speed of boats, trains and telegrams. Washington
would have been the last American to live in a world ya hundred
years out of date.
Every college in the United States should begin, at once to over
come American provincialism. The iron is hot, let the University
strike. The Philosophers should offer a course on "World Outlook."
Until the educated class and, through this (lass, every class of citizens,
have adequate knowledge of the philosophy and psychology, which
merely means the principles and characteristics, of the Chinese, the
Japanese, the Rusians, the Africans, the Mexicans, the Jugo-Slavs,
the Poles and, in a word, every people in the world, the American
citizen will not have intelligent opinions about a League of Nations,
nor about the wisest means of attaining lasting peace, and decent
conditions in the world. And unless he has such intelligent opinions
there will be fresh troubles ahead, and he will be unable to be
neutral when they ariTie. and his harvest from the great cost of the
great war will not be gathered.
There are wonderful books about the characteristics of par
ticular nations, such as Fonille and Novicow about Europe, the books
of Holcomb and Smith, and Dr. Martin about China, and Prince
Collier's book about the English. These could be used as chapters
of a great book or course on WOrld-Orientation.
We are all in darkness about foreign nations. Let there be light!
Philosophy has been called the science of general principles. The
impotence of philosophers lies in 1heir indifference to the general
principles of life, life as men live; life, here, now. in a world of real,
and perplexed and suffering, men and women. They shall renew
their strength and mount up with wings as eagles when they take up
their real task.
Let us tackle the psychology of nations!
If you desire peace, destroy international discourtesy or calumny
and detraction, promote learning about foreign lands, promote sym
pathy, intelligence, and natural piety, in foreign relations. This
must be done steadily and persistently, line upon line, and precept
upon precept, in every school in the Republic. If peace ever really
comes to dwell on earth, it will come because mankind has learned
charity, vicariousness and self-criticism. The universities that lead
in this will do a great service and reap a great reward. Peace is the
compass, not the machinery and armament, of the ship of state. There
Is no royal road we must become fit for peace! And the only means
is education. Dr. M. F. Libbv.
