THE SPIRIT OF IVY DAY.
The 1920 Ivy Day is line at last. For nineteen years, (his has
been probably Nebraska's dearest tradition. 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 Newer Patriotism"

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

aw fill tragedy remained. They inarened

Dint oo.ih! from I heir hare imd frost

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.
