THE SEMI-ANNUAL CELEBRATION
The great Semi-centennial celebration is but three weeks off. On
May 23rd and 24th, the university frill commemorate the fiftieth
inniversary of the founding of the institution in 1S69. The uni
versity will witness what is expected to be the greatest celebration
n the school's history, a celebration that wil go down in the annals
f the University of Nebraska as perhaps, the one greatest day in all
)f fifty years. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the university in
iS94 was a time of great rejoicing and jubilation which created wide
interest over the state, and it is not to be doubted that the goiden
anniversary' will surpass in greatness and importance the celebration
of twenty-five years ago.
i
As the time draws near when we will gather to celebrate the
ireat event, we should be making our plans so that we can remain
the extra day or so to attend the ceremonies.l No one has plans for
:he summer so pressing that they cannot postpone their departure
For at least two days. The university closes unusually early this
spring, making it possible for us to enjoy a vacation of almost four
months. We should appreciate this fact, and write the folks at home
that we will not return until after the semi-centennial.
Let us prepare now to do all that we can to make the setting
for the celebration one which will be fitting and proper. Let our
incentive be to make the present year a glorious culmination of the
years that have passed, and a firm foundation for the years that are
to come. Future generations will read of the 1919 festivities, and
that they shall not be disappointed, it remains to glorify the occasion
with everlasting splendor.
THE
"GOOD OLD DAYS"
We talk about the "good old days" and never give the matter a
second thought, or even a thorough first one. Perhaps it is just as
well that we do not question ourselves, for it would only lead to
puzzling and we would come no closer to understanding our real
reasons.
Our parents like to tell us stories about the "good old days"
before skyscrapers, when cars were drawn by horses and young
people went buggy-riding on Sundays. They refer to those times as
the "pood old days" now, but they wouldn't return to the inconveni
ences of the past if they could have a choice. Think of wearing those
bags they used to think looked dressy and the merchants sold for
suits, and the hats that once were considered quite the thing, but are
now used by comedians to draw a laugh.
Time moves irresistibly forward; today is soon yesterday and
tomorrow crowds today. Things vex us today and tomorrow we enjoy
recalling the past. The thing is, we remember the nice things which
make our memories pleasant and we forget the distasteful. Our
studies bother us, our professors worry us, something is always going
wrong, it seems, in the present time. In a few years we will be
graduates, and what will we talk about when we meet an old class
mate? We will laugh at our former cares and call them the "good
old days." But will we be without a care? No; new problems will
worry us, but in turn they will be the "good old days" of more remote
future as they are supplanted by other and newer problems. Ohio

PRESTO! CHANGE!
It was only a little while ago that the world was very sure the
college boy was a noisy good-for-Jiothing with a scant thimbleful of
brains and a pocketful of papa's cash. But the war changed our
opinion of him, as it changed many of the opinions of which we were
surest and proudest.
We were wrong. We take off our hats and our thinking-caps
to the leather-lunged lad with the megaphone and the ultra-modern
clothes. Of all the boys in these United States of ours, he was
farthest from being a slacker. He came to the colors early and he
came in great number. For him there was no dilly-dallying, no hold
ing back.
And the military men tell us that he made good with a decided
punch good as captain, lieutenant, top-sergeant, corporal and private.
They say he was soon tamed and readily trained, and that he knew
how to go about his business in a surprisingly fine fashion. His
hilarity and irresponsibility left him in a week or two and in) a month
he wa a man, with a serious conception of his man's duty. Besides
this and most unexpected of all he did 12 or 1 hours of hard labor
each day, thrived on it, and remained cheerfully contented. We
salute the ih-rah boy in khaki. Judge.
