RETROSPECT
As we approach the parting of the ways for the year-1918-1919,
we realize that we have Just passed through a year that has been
epochal in the history of the University. It has been a privilege to
observe the University in war times; to see how it conducted itself
under high pressure. One who has witnessed the University under
the stress of war difficulties, and who has breathed the befogged
atmosphere of a military campus, can readily appreciate the peaceful
and bouyant spirit which has held sway during the second semester.
After the disordered and ill-fated days of the students' army training
corps, the happy times of the past semester have had a peculiarly
pleasing flavor. The early days of last fall now seem as a shadowy
nightmare, not such a bad nightmare while it lasted, but when viewed
at this distance, one that we would never wish to live through a sec
ond time.
The year has been unique in the history of the University. Most
of the events which have occurred have been without precedent.
When a history of the University is compiled, the year marking the
end of the Great War, will stand out with unusual significance.
Students who were away from the University the first semester have
really missed something. They cannot appreciate the stories of
dashing Captain Maclvor, and of twilight hikes out over the hill
past Twenty-seventh and South streets. They cannot imagine the
clear notes of "taps" floating across the campus from the east en
trance of the Armory, nor the new social sciences building teeming
and surging with kahki clad student soldiers. They cannot appreciate
the trials of "supervised study," and many miles of tramping over
hard cobble stones of the city streets. These, and sundry other
S. A. T. C. memories, linger still fresh in the minds of the ex-student
soldiers.
The year has been barren of scholastic achievement, but exceed
ingly rich in experience. Few students has gained much from study,
but all have profited greatly from the new sights and experiences
occasioned by the war. The year has been so unsettled and un
natural, that it has been next to impossible for students to concen
trate themselves with any degree of efficiency upon their studies. If
they have succeeded in ferreting out a fair share of knowledge, they
have been lucky. Events have proved that military life does not go
well in harness with education. Both prosper better when working
alone than when working together. But whatever has been the re
sults of scholastic work, the enlarged conception of the meaning of
education, has been brought home to all with such telling force, that
the time spent has not been spent in vain. We realize what we have
lost in a scholastic way during the past year, and are determined to
make up for lost time if we have another opportunity. Next year
will be marked by an increased seriousness on the part of University
students, toward their work. Tne last year has not been lost It has
been a glorious year, and will live in the hearts of all students, as
a glorious landmark of our college days.
STAY FOR SEMI-CENTENNIAL AND IVY DAY
By this time students are well informed on the details of the
great semi-centennial celebration which will be held on the campus
next- Friday and Saturday. We do not need, at this time, to enlarge
upon the many features that will be of interest toevery loyal Corn
husker. Students who are as yet, but strangers with the University,
will find the two days of the festivities, a rare opportunity to become
acquainted with not only the history of the University, but also, with
its dearest traditions.
If you are not yet conscious of the real Nebraska spirit, attend
Ivy Day, witness the crowning of the ay Queen, hear the Ivy Day
oration, be present at the planting of the ivy, see the masquing of
the Black Masques and the tapping of the Innocents. These are the
things that are of the essence of campus life at the University of
Nebraska. If you leave the University without having seen these
things, you will have missed a vital part of your university life; if
you remain for the celebration, you will go away with a well rounded
year to your credit
HAVE YOU "WASTED YOURSELF?"
Are you one of the people who, looking back over the year's
work, feel that you have "wasted yourself?" Has the year been as
profitably employed as it should have been?
Many students dissipate their energy and lessen their ability by
following each vagrant fancy, leaving the work to pile up at the
end of tne road when there is less time for doing it and more dis
tractions to delay it Why not think it over, and when next fall
comes along systematize your work so that there will be more free
dom from toil, and more time for pelasure because things have been
done when they should have been, and were much more easily accom
plished for that reason. P. M.
