THE CHANCELLOR'S RECEPTION
One of the first duties members of the freshmen class owe them
selves and the university Is to get together. If life at college Is to
mean more to them than mere routine of one class after another,
the quicker they meet on common ground with those who have inter
ests in common with them, the better the chance that this very im
portant aide of their education will not be neglected. The principle
purpose of the reception to be given by Chancellor and Mrs. Avery,
is to bring freshmen together informally. Of course this does not
mean that upperclaesmen and faculty members will not be welcome,
because the success of the entertainment would be very doubtful
without their helpful presence and co-operation.
Here they will meet one another and spend a few hours in talk
ing over their prospective courses, "first impressions" and future
plans. The importance of this reception as a student melting-pot
cannot be over-emphasized. Oftentimes acquaintances made in the
classroom are unsatisfactory, not because of a lack of sincerity on
the part of seat neighbors, but because at the end of the semester
we are apt to know little more about our friends around us than
at the start. Any large number of freshmen can only be brought
together in a spirit for striking friendships through informal gather
ings, and such entertainments 'are so few that new students cannot
afford to miss any of them.
AS OTHERS
It is gratifying and stimulating that the British educational mis
sion, after its survey of universities and colleges in America, should
declare that the out-standing fact is the enthusiasm In this country
for higher education.
"This widespread interest," slays the report of the mission, "per
meated all classes. It was to be seen in the flow of students to the
newer universities; in the loyalty and affection of the alumni .for
their universities and colleges; in the large benefactions which come
to these institutions' from all quarters. There is ample evidence of
a general desire for university education," the commission finds,
adding: "The fact that the state universities give free education, the
very large number of institutions that profess to give higher educa
tion, the more and more convincing evidence of its economic value,
the tradition of social equality, the ease, frequency and fullness with
which benefactions Cow to the college all imply a future in which a
very large proportion of the American people will have received a
college education."
The British mission appears to have been inspired by the Ameri
can college spirit, and the members of the commissions are consist
ent, therefore, in favoring an interchange of students and professors
between England and the United States. Especially do they desire
British students and teachers to come to America.
It is not an unadulterated approval the visitors have given our
colleges, however. They found salaries too low in view of the large
endowments and the sums spent on building and equipment. The
superiority of the average equipment of American colleges, particular
ly in laboratory and engineering facilities, amazed the members of
the mission.
But, after all, the thing which is most important is the universal
interest in higher education in this country. It is that which most
impressed the visiting educators, and it is that which pleases all hav
ing the best interests of America at heart. Buffalo Commercial.
THINKING OF TOMORROW
It is the spirit which he displays that makes the freshman. But
if be has not a student's desire back of his college spirit, a freshman
is not true to the traditions of his college. Universities and higher
institutions of learning were not founded for society, although that
plays an important part in the life of the school. The institutions of
education were founded on a desire for more and higher or broader
knowledge back of a splendid hope for future greatness. The fresh
man in our school must think of the University of tomorrow, and
while toiling at the University of today he must realize that he is
helping to build a better, and bigger Nebraska for years to come.
All this cannot be brought about unless' everyone in the first year
class strives through a spirit of initiative rather than sluggishness,
for a Nebraska so great that her name will mean more than a group
of stone buildings on a beautified campus.
Promptves is a commendable virtue which is as necessary in
running a great university as the oil in the machine. How much oil
are you applying to the machinery of the University of Nebraska?
Some lasting friendships are beginning in -the University this
week. It is a good time to begin the gatherii g of those comforts
of adversity. But remember that a friend is to be judged by his soul
and not by the clothes' he happens to wear. Besides father probably
paid for the clothes and mother picked them out and the student
within cannot be judged at all by what he hanpens to have in the
way of exterior decorations.

his characteristic smile, "and how
much more I appreciated the spirit
in which they were sent"

COLLEGE JANITORS
GET MORE PAY
I THAN PROFESSORS
New York.. College professors are
worse paid than Janitors and scrubwo
men in the same institutions, charges
Gardner B. Perry of Albany, a Har
vard graduate, who is chairman ot me
eastern New York endowment commit
tee to raise funds for Harvard univer
sity. The university wants $11,000,000.
"So long as the janitors of our col
lege halls and the scrubwomen of the
libraries get larger salaries than pro
fessors, just so long shall we be in dan
ger of seeing our universities becoiut
second-rate schools of advanced edu
cation," he said.
"The remedy for this condition is
not lowering the pay of the janitors
and scrubwomen, but raising thoc ot
our teachers."
UNIVERSITY FIXES
CREDIT ALLOWED
RETURNED SOLDIERS
The amount of university credit to
be allowed returning soldiers for
their military experience has been
passed upon by a committee consist
ing of Chancellor Samuel Avery as
chairman, Prof. A. A. Reed, Dean P.
M. Buck. Prof. G. R. Chatburn acting
for Dean O. V. Stout, and Dean E. A.
Burnett. The decision of the commit
tee is as follows: ,
1. Two hours' credit for each six
months military service, excepting
such time as was spent in technical
military schools or in furlough at
some education institution.
2. Credit for attendance at tech
nical or other schools to be adjusted
by the dean of the college concerned
and the registrar, on the presentation
of certificate of attendance or other
evidence. (In general one hour's
credit is equivalent to fifty hours of
work.)
3. Nine hours' credit is granted
for successful attendance at an of
ficer's training camp.
4. Credit for work at a non-com
missioned or petty officers school to
be adjusted by the dean of the col
lege concerned, the registrar and the
commandant of cadets. Total credit
for such training not to exceed one
half of that secured at an officers
training camp.
The above committee represented
the college of arts and sciences and
the engineering and agricultural col
leges. Many returning soldiers are
calling at the registrar's office for this
information. Large numbers of them
have attended universities overseas
while in the army.

composed principally of women and an extravagant production. The Reckless Eve has more than a semblance
cf a plot. In fact it has a well defined storj that can be discovered without the aid of passes. The plot,
however, is secondary to Its comedy situation, clever numbers and the tasty costuming. In every reppect be
