ability for the work to which they
are assigned and many of them l ave
served on student publications prev-
tnimlv.
Freshmen Not Appointed
Members of the art staff and the
freshmen editors have not been ap
pointed as yet. The reason for not
making appointments to the fresh
men staff at this time Is that there
are undoubtedly a few freshmen In
school, who have not as yet spoken
to the editor, but who are desirous
of doing this work.
Offices of the Cornhusker are being
maintained temporarily In the west
end of the basement of University
hall.
The call for Junior and Senior pic
tures for the Cornhusker were issued
Monday by Editor Gerhart. These
pictures and fraternity and sorority'
pictures are asked for early this year
so that the engravers may have more
time to work on cuts and thereby el
iminate the necessity of accepting
poor cuts at the last minute as has
been the custom in past years. Ap
pointments for pictures may be made
at Townsend's studio at any time
now.
Several fraternities have already
-mde arrangements to !mve their pic
tures taken and within two weeks all
fraternity pictures will be taken.

LIFE OF ROOSEVELT"
AT CONVOCATION TODAY
Regent F. N. Judson, of Omnua,
will apeak at convocation today on
"The Life of Roosevelt" Chancellor
Avery will introduce Mr. Judson and
this last address will be a most siting
climax for the effective student or
ganization and co-operation working
for the effective student organization
and co-operation working for the
Roosevelt Memorial fund.
The campaign, which has been con
ducted by tagging and pledging,
among students, faculty and sc$oc
employees. haB been most agreeably
distinctive, for at no time has -any
stres been used for the furtherance
or the fund, the attitude being taken
that it is an honor and a pleasure kO
donate for this cause. It is the antici
pation of the centrul committee that
5,000,000 men and women will contri
bute and the result be a uiost fitting
memorial to an American whose un
selfish work will be a monument lor
ever. Complete figures are s.-t available
at the present time but 'from contri
butions received and present lnatca
tions, the campaign has been a most
successful one.

FELLOWSHIP FUND
Palladian Opens Campaign for
Research Endowment of
$10,000
Prominent Nebraskans Unite in
Praise of Former University
Professor
A movement has been launched
by the alumni and students of the uni
versity to establish an endowment of
$10,000 to support a research fellow
ship in philosophy in memory of the
late Kirk Wolfe, who for many. years
was head of the department of phil
osophy, The Palladian society at
its forty-eighth annual banquet hear
tily endorsed the fund and pledged
itself to raise $3,000.
Professor Wolfe, himself a member
of the Palladian society, which dates
back to 1871, graduated from the uni
versity In 1880, and became a mem
ber of the faculty 1889. As a mem
ber he has had many hundreds, if
not thousands of students working
under him, many of whom have ten
dered their services and contribu
tions toward raising the fund.
T. F. A. Williams, '92, is chai.-n.ian
and Prof. H. W. Caldwell. '80. Is
treasurer of the Palladia ncommit
tee. Other members of this commit
tee are Prof. H. C. Filley, '02, presi
dent of the Palladian alumni; Miss
Edna Bullock. '89; Judge C. M.
Skiles. 92; A. C. R. Swenson. 'ID
and Ray H. Cowen, J. W. Buolita
and Paul Conner and Miss Alice
Allen, who is the present president
of the Palladian society. They will
confine their efforts to the past and
present members of the society. $1,000
was pledged by the sixty active mem
bers in a recent meeting. The Palla
dian society is old enough and strong
enough to raise the remaining $2,000,
part of which has already been raised,
several alumni pledging $100 each
if ten such contributions be nipde.
A general committee is being or
ganized among Dr. Wolfe's students,
by Miss Nellie Drake, '11, who re
ceived her M. A. in 1914 under Dr
Wolfe, and is acting as temporary
chairman and treasurer. The Dou
ble Torch, a society of advance! stu
dents in the department of philoso
phy is actively assisting Miss Drake
with her organization. The committee
hopes to reach all former students,
non-graduates, as well as graduates.
What Others Say
The establishment of a Harry
Kirk Wolfe research fellowship has
been urged for some time and would
he a most fitting memory to an al
umnus and member of the faculty
whose brilliant work has been an in
spiration to all who have come in
contact with him. The university,
although In existence for forty years,
has had no graduate research endow
ment, which is bad for the school
and effects the scholarship attained,
for the Institution cannot compere
with other state universities having
such endowments. The need of
such an endowment is most ably stat
ed by Dr. H. B. Alexander of the uni
versity faculty:
"Regarding the felowship in hon
or of Dr. Wolfe, I sincerely hope that
the movement will be successful for a
number of reasons. In the first lace
there is no form of commemoration
which would do more, nor Indeed so
pleasing to Dr. Wolfe himself were he
here to know of it, for his Interest
In the welfare and prospects of his
students was always primary. In the
second place It is certain that few
services to the university could be so
valuable as the establishment of a
series of fellowships for graduate
research. Virtually all other large
universities have them and tbey are
of the ereatest service to such lnstl-
tlons in that they keep alive the spir
it of Investigation and scholarship,
without which no college can mam-
tain Its quality. It Is hardly to be
expected that Nebraska will provide
such fellowships out of the public

"I have just come from a meeting of

Inter-College Basketball Meeting
Thursday evening at 7:30 the Armory will be the scene of a
mass meeting of all men Interested in inter-college basketball. This
is the first year any project of this kind has been attempted at Ne
braska. The plan has been tried and found successful in other schools
.md Coach Paul Schissler Is confident It will prove satisfactory at
Nebraska. A large delegation is desired from every college in the
I niversity as definite plans for the coming season will be discussed
and managers appointed for the different college teams. As many
representatives as possible from each college should be in attendance.

Intimate Personal Memoirs of
Great American Soldier

Life of Roosevelt Reviewed by
Friend Who Knew Him
Beit
Major-General Leonard Wood ad
dressed an enthusiastic audience of
1 500 at the City Auditorium last
night in behalf of the Rooseveu Me
morial Fund. He was most enthusi
astically received when introduced by
Ex-Mayor Don Love.
With characteristic military carri
age Hnd perfect self-control, General
Wood talked of the many personal
encounters between Colonel Roose
velt and himself. These ren.tnls
cences were of a delightfully inti
mate nature, and orten General Wood
was stopped by a hearty laugh or
the clapping of hands as some per
onal characteristic, which at tnis
time he said, would so effectively
assist our administration!, was
brought out.
Colonel Roosevelt before the Spanish-American
war was assistant secre
tary of the Navy and General Wood
at this time was a daily visitor and
the two had many long talks and
rides together. It was recalled i.ial
al one time, just before the out
break of the Spanish war, when Sec
retary Long of the Navy, was taking
a much needed rest, Colonel Roose
velt took complete charge of the de
partment and in the first four hours
of his regieme so effectively set things
in motion that to his actions a por
tion of the decisive victory of Dewey
is traced.
During the Spanish-American War,
Colonel Roosevelt went into active
service although much against the
advice of his personal iriends wtio
thought he could be of much better
service in the Navy department. He
was offered the command of a
ment but said he was not in a posi
tion to successfully operate such a
unit. This is how Colonel Roosev&rf
came under the command of General
Wood. Many illuminating character
istics of our stalwart American were
brought out while he was in this posi
tion. General Wood states that "dis
cipline is the conscious effort of an
intelligent individual," and Colonel
Roosevelt not only demonstrated that
he possessed the necessary qualiiica-

CMP FIRE GIRLS
MEET TO PLAN HIKE
The girls of the Walohl camp
gathered in the Y. W. C. A. room five
o'clock Monday for the regular weekly
meeting, planned a hike and under the
leadership of Mrs. Teal, their guardian
and took up some of the elements of
camp fire life which would be helpful
in organizing camps.
The Walohl camp is a university or
ganization which continues from year
to year. It is a class designed to train
girls to organize younger girls into
camps and to serve as guardians. To
accomplish this the girls form a reg
ular camp fire organization and con
duct it the same as a younger .girls'
camp.
Nine girls attended the meeting.
Registration in the class is still open.
The Lincoln Hiking club has Invited
the Walohl camp to participate in a
hike to its cabin eight miles out of
Lincoln Sunday afternoon. The girls

is lo be the first of a series of or
ganized camp fire hikes.
A part of the meeting was devoted
to a discussion of camp fire ideals.

K1VK f'KNTS per U)I,
NEBRASKA FACED
HEAVY SCHEDULE
Huskers Have Met the Best
Teams of the Country
Kansas and Ames Have Strong
Elevens But Nebraska
Should Win.
Nebraska ban a good football leaui.
Iowa and Notre Dame beat her,
Minnesota and Oklahoma tied her
but nevertheless she has a good team.
These schools all have veteran teams
this year and Nebraska's record
against them is by no means a dis
grace. Perhaps the 1919 Cornhuh.-.er
machine Is not as strong as have btm
the teams iti the past few years.
Coach Schulte was sadly lackiiit; In
veteran material at the beginning of
the season but he has perfected an
eleven of whlrh Cornhusker support
ers may well be proud. No blame can
be placed on the shoulders of the
coaching staff for the outcome of the
games already played. The Huskers
hnvj faced teams of equal or superior
jurentih and emerged with two de
feats and two draws,
In the glorious days of old, wiien
Nebraska teams never knew what it
was to meet defeat and Missouri
Valley championships were foregone
conclusions, we must not forger tTiat
the schedules were vastly different
from the 1919 lineup. The scheuuics
of throve victorious times contained
euch teams as Wesleyan, Washburn,
Morningside, Haskell Indians, and
other second rate Institutions and of
course Nebraska beat them. We were
unable to schedule games wih such
teams as Notre Dame, Minnesota and '
Syracuse, which occupy prominent
places on this year's schedule. Ne
braska is branching out and meeting
the best teams of east and west and
defeat must be expected along with
victory.
The average student does not tjp
to take these facts into consideration,
but immediately begins to knock the
members of the team or the coach
ing staff. Notre Dame had a team of
veterans this year. They defeated the
Western Normal School by a score of
52-0, and this Normal outfit soundly
trounced the Michigan Aggies. In
the light of these scores Nebraska's
14-9 defeat at the hands of Notre
Dame does not seem so bad. Okla
homa started the season with twen.. -two
veterans reporting and Sooner
teams have always been strong. A nes
and Kansas are coming at Nebreska
with exceptionally t.rrong elevens.
The Cornhuskers should win these
games but eacti will be n fight to the
finish. Cornhusker fans all renumber
the powerful Jayhawker aggregation
that whipped the Huskers 7-3 a
years ago. A number of the turn who
starred on that team are performing
on the 1919 eleven so that the Kansas
game will be a tough struggle
The question that faces Nebraska
gridiron fans is this-. Shnll the Corn
husker school return to the sy
schedules of old or shall Nebraska
continue to grow in the football
world and meet the representative
teams of the nation in properly ar
ranged schedules?
FRESHMEN LAY PLANS
FOR NIGHT OF OAYETY
AT THEIR PARTY FRIDAY
The freshmen party scheduled for
Friday is an assured success. The
entertainnlent committee announces
that it has procured some of the best
of local talent to complete its pro
gram of music and dancing. The
refreshment committee asked the re
porter not to divulge the nature of the
refreshments lest upperclassmen
should disguise as freshmen in cider
to help dispose of the eatables.
The wearers of the green plan ou
an exclusive affair for their coming
out. For, as previously announced,
freshmen only will be admitted. The
explanation for this ruling lies, it is
said. In the well known tact mm
freshmen are Ainclined toward shy
ness when placed In close proximity
to sophomores and upper classmen
j m .. to be a freshmen
party it was deemed best to exclude
members of the other classes.
