Entered at the postoffice at Lincoln, Nebraska, as second-class
mail matter under the Act of Congress of March S, 1879.
The trite old saying that oue must go abroad to be appreciated,
is as true at the University of Nebraska as elsewhere, deplorable as
such a condition is.
In the past few months the University has received recognition
and prominence through the ability and commendable mork of three
of its professors. Dr. F. M. Fling, who was head of the department
of the European history, is a member of the United States Peace
Mission. He will be one of the men to write the history that has
been made recently. Dr. Fling was always an Inspiration to his
classes and to the popular audiences that he held tensely attentive
by his ability as a speaker, his clear, logical line of thought, and his
vicorous, appealing personality.
Professor Fogg, another faculty member who has received espe
cial commendation for his work in the "Army of the Inner Lines of
Defense," has been given the honorary title of Lieutenant-General.
He. too, has gone to France, where he will take charge of the de
partments of Rhetoric and Journalism in a college for the soldiers
who are to be retained during the period of reconstruction. Pro
fessor Fogg was most active in all kinds of war work.
The latest honor to be conferred upon the University through
one of its professors, is the election of Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander,
head of the department of philisophy, to the presidency of the
American Philosophical Association. Dr. Alexander is a graduate of
the University. He has been connected with this institution since for
the last ten years. He has done exceptional research work in -philosophy.
The last two pageants that have been presented were
written by Dr. Alexander.
It is well for students who journey through their college life, in
a scramble to work off this or that requirement .and to get the neces
sary number of credits to permit them to be graduated, and to hunt
up the "pipe" courses in order to have time for outside "affairs," to
rememiber that in many cases, there is as much or more to be
gained ultimately, from a careful choice of instructors, as from too
much consideration of the courses, strictly as such. More can be
learned first hand from a brilliant teacher and scholar than can ever
be gleaned from the best books that were ever written. Students
will alwavs have the books to go to in search of knowledge, but to
most of us. as soon as we leave college, the opportunity to associate
with the men who write these books, and who lead in education is
gone. We scatter out over our broad United States and we hear of
-he work of our professors and regret that we did not know them
better Personal association and acquaintance with the teachers is
not at present a custom here. It should be. That it is not, is the
Tault of the student, nine times out of ten.
Among the faculty members of our University are many men and
women who are "real folks." Learn to know and to appreciatae them.
NEW COURSE IN HEBREW
OFFERED NEXT SEMESTER
BRIEF BITS OF NEWS
A course in Hebrew will be offered
next semester. While the fundamental
principles of the language will be
ftudied as thoroughly as the time will
allow, special stress will be laid on
the spoken Hebrew. One of the re
sults of the war must be a liberated
Palestine. This means not only the
restoration of the old homeland for
the Jew but also a greater use of the
Hebrew tongue. Students who intend
to take up the study of Hebrew are
requested to confer with Prof. Alexis,
U 108, at ten o'clock on Mondays,
Tuesdays, Wednesdays or Thursdays.
ALUMNI
Girls' Senior Advisory Board The
Girls' Senior Advisory board met at
noon Tuesday for the usual monthly
conference. The "little sister" move
ment is a decided success, and that it
may be as useful next year. Plans are
under way for the election of junior
advisors who will take up the work at
the beginning of school next fall.
NO STUDENT DIRECTORY

LAWRENCE, Kans.. Jan. . No
student directory will be issued this
year at Kansas university, unless uni
versity authorities change their minds
suddenly. Registrar George O. Poster
announced this morning after a con
ference with Chancellor Strong.
It was felt that it would not be wise
to issue a directory this year because
of generally unsettled conditions and
because of so many changes in stu
dents' rooming places. The Woman's
Pan-Hellenic, the W. S. G. A. and the
Kansas board have considered pub
lishing a student directory at one time
or another during the two years the
university has been without one.

UNITED STATES MARINES
NOW ''DUTCH CLEANSERS'
Private William Tvson of the
nited States Marine Corps, a Kan
sas City, Missouri, boy, now with the
Marines at Coblenz. Germany, and
who formerly worked in a grocery
store in "Kay See," has written bacld
to a friend here about the new duties
of the "Devil Dogs" in "running the
Rhine."
"When we were in France," he
writes, "the natives always addressed
us as Bon Ami, which means, in
French, 'good friend.' This got to be aJ
by-word with the Marines, so that
instead of saying 'howdy, bo,' wel
would say, "howdy, Bon Ami
"Well, now we are with the Amer
ican army of occupation and a few
days ago they gave us the job of run
ning traffic on the Rhine; we lso
'police' it. "Police' in the Marine lan-l
guage means to "scrub the deck, or iri
plain American, "get rid of the filth,
and believe me, we are doing it.
"This morning I ran across one ofl
mv buddies busy with a shovel alonrt
the bank of the river, eliminating!
some of the trash left by Fritz. H
didnt like his job. I could see that.
So 1 thought I would cheer him up.
" 'It's a great world if you don't
weaken, Bon Ami, I said to him.
" He threw down the shovel, glared
at m a moment and scattered: 'Bon
Ami. belli I'm a Dutch Cleanser now!
"And take it straight from me, the
Devil Dogs are certainly "chasing the
dirt," as the advertisements in the gro-
cerv store used to say. When the Ma
rines get through with their 'watch
on the Rhine itTl be a pretty respect-!
able and sanitary little old creek.
Be touched with tenderness and
rymi.ilii lur all that tius iile can feel
and can suffer, and do not all a pang
to the burden of the world's sorrow.
