STORY HARDING
For This Issue
FRIENDSHIP
It's the kindly hearts of earth that make
This good old wold worth while,
It's the lips with tender words that wake
The care?erasing smile.
And I ask my soul this question when
My goodly gifts I see,
Am I a friend to as many men
As have been good friends to me?
When my brothers speak or word of praise
My wavering will to aid,
1 ask if ever their long, long ways
My words have brighter made.
And to my heart I bring again
This eager, earnest plea,
Make me a friend to as many men
As are good staunch friends to me.
Nixon Waterman.
The question has come up lately are university friendships
true and sincere? Can people, 'brought together from all parts of
the country, with all sorts of home training and environment, differ
ent ideals and widely separated ambitions, form lasting friendships?
Some students have said that the most valuable thing in their
universities course was the friendships made. Others claim that
students in this formative period of life are not well enough settlod
In their likes and dislikes, and ability to Judge men, to choose as
friends, people who will remain that because of common interests
and understanding. Someone once defined a friend as one who
knew all your faults and liked you Just the same. It is true sincer
ity which makes the foundation for real friendship and it Is that
quality of sincere personal interest which makes one look beyond
misleading or false appearances for the deeper feeling.
How often the term is abused on the campus n fact every
where. Have you ever had a "friend'' who was very nice to you In
the dans-room, especially when there was a difficult problem to be
solved, or about examination time, but who always passed you on
the campus without even a sign of recognition? A good name for
.o-wear" friendship, the kind that can be donned
r selfish reasons. But with this insincere selfish
i .. associated those same germs of trouble, snobbery,
egotism, class distinction and political Jealousies. These all savour
of the caste system and an existence ruled by autocracy rather
than democracy.
Analyze your friendships and ask yourself whether you are a
true friend to as many men as are good staunch friends to you.
THINK FIRST
The pencil of life has no eraser. What we did yesterday Is
done, and there ia no way to completely rub it off. The sarcastic
letter or the hasty, angry speech cannot be re-called, and although
it be followed by an apology or regret, the harm is done and the
hurt remains.
But we have the benefit of 364 more days to retrieve past
mistakes. It does no good to brood over what is done, except to
learn the lesson that future deeds must be guarded. If the habit
of thoughtful, deliberate action Is formed to prevent careless work
soon to be regretted, there will dawn a happier sky-line of the
morrow and close of the day before.
CLASS DEBATING
What has become of class debates? Are they also to disappear
from Nebraska as so many other pre-war traditions seem to have
done?
There seem to be two explanations for this lack of debating
Interest; first, from all appearances and inquiries, there are very
few men or girls enough interested in this an to actually do the
work; secondly, that whereas In previous years, the convocation
hours were longer and allowed time for a full itebate, the present
short convocation period will not do so. The class debates would
have to be held evenings and in that case there is doubt as to
student support of these events.
We feel that this Is one feature of education that should not be
neglected. Debating broadens the out-look of the listener as well
as the speaker. It develops a more appraising, critical attitude
which leads both parties to think clear through a question to dis
cover the sound principles back of it.
Have Nebraska's returned soldiers come back to school Just
to study law, commerce or medicine, or to widen and round out the
new world viewpoint wakened by the recent world-war?

Chemical Society was held on Friday
Feb. 6, at 8 o'clock In Chemistry Hall.
Dr. Wm. M. Barr, who Is consulting
chemist for the Union Pacific Rail
road, spoke on "Boiler Feed WaleiB
and Their Treatment."
Dr. Barr spoke from a knowledge
gained from many years of experience
with boiler water treatment for i nil
roads. He said that the problems
met, involved, in addition to a knowl
edge of chemistry, a knowledge of
geology so that bad water supplies
might be replaced by better wells;
and something of a knowledge ot me
chanical engineering since machinery
is concerned in water purification
plants as well as in boiler "hltch
ups." Dr. Barr, in speaking of the
use of boiler compounds said (Jiat he
was somewhat at variance with aom
chemists when he recommended these
compounds lor use, provided that they
were prescribed after a careful analy
sis of the waters they were expected
to purify.

ing new officers were installed:
Chairman, Wm. H. Barr, of Omaha.
