The crowning of I He May Queen, the planting of the ivy. the daisy chains and all the cere monies attached to this day are very dear to everyone who has evei been a Husker. In the afternoon, the tapping of the Black Masques and Innocents completes the program. In this symbolic way. the Senior class presents the keys of seniority to the members of the Junior class and wishes them all the luck for the next year. With the passing of the years and the historical background. Ivy Day is coming to mean something to a great many students, alumni and visitors here. The solid establishment of this tradition has helped in the formation of others and it is hoped that many more will become per manent. Last year, the semi-centennial of Nebraska University, was marked on Ivy Day by the military tone in all. but the original essen tial features were the same. It is certain that at the centennial cele bration. Ivy Day will be even greater and there will be then the cloak of time, personalities and events to give it all honor and glory. Uni versity tradition is a vital thing in college spirit and the great wish for Nebraska is that she may develop more, lasting and worthwhile customs. Let us hope that the spirit of Ivy Day will go on down through the years to help make a greater University of Nebraska. WELCOME, CALIFORNIA. The baseball team of the University of California, on their way east, plays the Husker nine today at the ball park. The California men have come with a formidable record and the determination to gather scalps along the way on this trip. We welcome them to Ne braska both for baseball and entertainment. We are especially glad ;o have them here on this particular day when we can show them a little of Nebraska tradition, enthusiasm and of our campus ceremonies. Winners or losers, we are glad that you have come and hope that you will carry back to distant California a most favorable impression of Nebraska spirit and University life. The Memorial Drive opens tomorrow. Perhaps you know of aont i.iumni or visitor on the campus today who will also be interested in it. Tell him what we are aiming at, why the Memorial gymnasium i such a vital topic, and that every loyal Cornhusker or friend Is going to be asked to help make this the real thing. BREAKERS The grind is on. Examinations will be held in the University from May 21 to June 4 inclusive, according to the official report from the Chancellor's office. Student know what such a report means. They are conscious that their results in final examinations spell vic tory or defeat not only for themselves but for the University of Ne braska also. A successful school career is baaed on the student's application to his studies. Today Is the time to put on the finishing touches for the semester's work. "Cramming,- of course, is literally useless. Studenta will find it difficult to atudy these spring days, but the num ber of daya Is limited. ' Apply yourselves today and help raise, not only your own scholastic standing, but also the scholastic record of the University of Nebraska.

The history f .lie Ani.-rh-nii iiIioiiikIh with nioiiKiunls llf II iih- r.illoi.K of hiicIi patriotism: such absolute lve of miry. The Americans of I he Uevoliitioimry wiir. the Civil wiir Hint the (Jre.il World war. have Inillt a Hlrmitf and Imiililnl mniiilinenl to Mint patriotism. When our n imlry ealleil thousands, yen. imiiilreos of thousands went forth to do lint lie. It II wus not lnnc lief ore tie poetrv of It all vanished, ami only th aw fill tragedy remained. They inarened kinv deep ill mud. They slept on I he eold. frost hardened earth. Their route mill. I lie trneed oil the snow by the I moil Dint oo.ih! from I heir hare imd frost bitten feet. They hail their eyes shot out and limbs torn from their bodies. They lay wounded upon the Held for hours rrviiiir for water anil no one liroiitMil it. Only the Mod above knows how terrible was the suflerlnir of those halt letielcls. WliyV WhvV -May I nsk. did these men unit' Ixivk leave their homes with the treat probability of never ret urnlnir ? Why lli they so willingly roiiseiie n sued lerrilile Kiifferinc? All beeause of their great love of country. We who are now living dwill upon these exhibitions of patriotism with i... ,.r..Mi..wi ,.f nride and MiaiikHgiving. The greati-st war in the history of the liiiuiau rail- has ended. We are facil.J an era of vast recoils! met ion. We lire called upon to lav the framework of a new world organization, and. as our country culled in the hours of great need in tin past she calls today. Young America hears that call mid responds, tilled with a sense of a newer and nobler patriotism which consists not so "much in willing: ness to die for one's country ns In will ingness to live for one's country. "(Ill vet a nol ler task awaits thy hand . For what can War bill endless War still breed Till Truth I IMght from Violence be freed." We often hear peoplw say that there Is no difference between patriotism anil jingoism. To tl I patriotism is nothing but n selfish love which places the Inter ests of one's coimtrr even above the laws of Mod. That is not true patriotism for true patriotism does not hold high the motto "Our Country ltight or Wrong." It does all within its power to lead out country along the paths of righteousness ami of honor. Seniors as we go out from this Institu tion let lis help, as men and women who have received a rigid mental training, and through that training learned to think ciiollv and Judge dispassionately. lo stamp out lis un-American such evidences of false patriotism. One of the most vital factors in the life of our nation today is the right under standing of what Is meant by the newer p-triotism. It is not a sellisti love ot count r.v for Its I tils to the individual: it is not a narrow love which cries out "America right or wrong": it is not a crusade against those who have different political views from ur own: nor against l he foreign eleu t in our populal loll. No. The newer patriotism is a willing ness to so live for one's country that a stale of peace, of co operation mid mu tual goodwill is generated among the pco ple. The newer patriotism is helping at every opportunity to build up :i sound morality as tl uly lasting iiioniimeiit to llliy people. If the blood of olir people Is liecomiug corrupted through lax living, the imtioii is dying. II Is the good morals which make a nailoii truly great. Charles Kmiiiier as. "The true grandeur ol humanity is in moral elevation, snstaiio-u and enlightened and decorated by the In tellect of man." As It Is I lie grandeur ol humanity In general so Is it the grandeur of H Million . This being true, w here Mien Is lodgeil the final uplifting ami rcgcncral i,,n ot our country ' Henry W. (irmly has an swered that lUCKtloll. lie si I upon Capitol Hill In Washington. Hcfore him lay the country's capnol. As he thought of its tremeuiioiiK significance, the misi fathered III his eves ami he felt that if honor and wisdom and Justice abided therein the world would at last owe that great house in which the ark of tin- cove nant of his country is lodged, its filial uplifting and its regeneration. Two days afterward he visited a frlenii In the country. H modest man. with a i ii let country home. It was Just a sim ple house, shaded by big trees, mid en circled with Held ready for the harvest. Inside was quiet. clelllllilleSH, thrift and comfort. Outside he was met by the master, a nol ! man, muster of his land anil master of himself. Tin-re was his old father, an aged trembling mini, but happy in the heart ii li I home of his sou. And. as they reached the dimr the old mother frtme and bade them welcome to their ho. ;e. lieyond was the housewife, rliiin of heart and conscience, the help mate of her husband Down the lane came the children gaily trooping home nftj-r the cows. Night came down on that house mid the old mini gathered the family around him nil closed (he record of that simple day by culling down Mod's benediction on that family ami that home. "And, while I taxed," in Id Mr. (irmly, "the vision of that marble capilol faded. Forgotten were Ita treasures nod its majesty, and I mid. Oh, surely here In the house ot the people are lodged at last the strength and responsibility of this government, the bop and the promise of (his republic." Oh, we must not forget the responsi bility which rest upon the builders of the future borne, for "In the homes of the people are lodged at Inst the strength and responsibility of this government, the hope and the promise of his republic."

The makers of Venice declared It to be their principal ot Ject "to have the heart and the uftWtWns of our citizens and sub jects" and her whole success lies In Mils object. The continual stream of men nnd wo men from our college and universities should hold high lis their public motlo. the Venelian maxim. They should preach national honor and integrity; n patriotic love of country for Its own sake and not merely for the private beuelits which can be attained through government aid. Thev should live into the hearts of all ..-iti. 1...HI ilii'V come into contact a patriotism which speaks out In noble pride "I am an American citizen." A patriotism which cares for the welfare of the public ns for life Itself: which watches the use of the ballot: which demands that the servants of the public do their duty ami above all a patriotism which purities public opinion. "Let them not be nshamed fo tit-knowledge Mod, mid to proclaim Ills intern. .sit ion in the affairs of men. enjoin ing such olM'dience to Ills laws as makes manifest the path of a national perpetuilv and tirosiM-rtlv." As long ns the church bells ring out nun ineir Towers, nils great republic of ours cannot die. This Is the newer pit t riot Ism n willing ness to live for one's country. May we who go out from this T:nlveinlty be filled with that patriotism. May we give thanks to the people of this great rommonwenllh for the privilege which we have enjoyed. We are sincerely grateful to the men mill women of the faculty who have not only endeavored to guide us ill the ways of scholastic wisdom, but also have tried to develop among us clean anil strong rhar r.cters: to develop men and women upon whom the state can an rely place inc re siionsililltv of the future. And in this lime of great Joy wo think of our fathers and mothers and proclaim to them our great appreciation of their boundless love and sacrifice. With our thoughts to the future may our hearts be tilled with one great pur pose, to so live for our country that it "luav become a vast and splendid inonii- lueni. not of oppression and terror, but of wisdom, of pence, mid of liberty, upon which the whole world may gaze with admiration forever.
