tered over all of Lincoln am" her
suburbs the University is apt to be
come of minor interest on the part
of many, and the true college spirit
which would be uerhrd from a colony
of University folks can nol b" de
veloped. No action has b. . u taken relative
to the purchasing and clearing of
this land; but this action is in ac--ordance
with the other resolutions
passed at earlier dates restricting cer
tain parts of the city To buildings ol

the time comes to make use of more
land for the University, there will be
no danger of being hampered and per
haps halted by the growth of other
interests on the outskirts of the pres

Be it further resolved that on ac-
count of the amount of road work to
be done in the state and the shortage I
of young men especially fitted for this i
work, we believe that the university
can greatly help many NeUJaska
young men and benefit the state in I
no better way than to encourage and .
offer additional inducements and in-.

it would not be necessary for the j

STANDARDIZE MACHINERY
TO LOWER H. C, L. SJOGREN
The standardization of farm ma
chinery is cne means whereby the
price Is going to be lowered, accord
ing to Prof. O. W. Sjogren, of the
University of Nebraska Department
of Agricultural Engineering, who has
recently returned from Chicago where
he attended a meeting of the Na
tional Agricultural Equipment Stand
ards Committee. This committee is
made up of engineers from manofac-
turine associations and engineering
societies of the country. It work is
to standardize machinery and put
system Into the present Jumble of
models, makes, sizes, etc.
To support his prediction that
standardization will lower the cost,
Professor Sjogren said that the stand
ardization of wagons by the govern
ment during the war reduced their
cost $2.50 each. The government
found 1.752 different combinations of
wagons. It reduced this number to
90. Another Instance is that if "e
standardization of automobiles. Pro
fessor Sjogren said. Marked progress
has been made in reducing the num
ber of variations in automobile parts.
The committee is now working on the
standardization of tractor parts and
of silage cutters.
Henry Chung, a graduate of the
University, is visiting the campus
