FUND INCREASES
CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ALL PARTS
OF VORLD RECEIVED.
Many Alumni Have Responded to Call
for Assistance in Crtation of
Fellowship Fund.
The Harry Kirk Wolfe Research
Fellowship in Philosophy cont'nue?. to
receive contributions Pan all parts of
the world. This is the first research
fellowship to be started in the 1'ni
versify, and it is to be in memory of
Dr. Harry Wolfe, who was former':-'
head of the Department of Philosophy
In the spring of 1319 the Palladian
Literary Society upon constipation
with the faculty decided upon a fel
lowship fund of $10,000 as a momonn'
which the University of Nebraska
could dedicate to one of her greatest
teachers. This fund will enable some
earnest student of psychology to en
gage in an intensive study of the
subject.
First Philosophy Teacher.
Dr. Wolfe was the first, teacher cf
Philosophy in the University. lie
founded the present Department o'
Philosophy, and was especially inter
ested in Psychology. In his relations
with the sutdents he exerted an in
fluence which has never been for
gotten by those with whom he came
in contact.
One of the greatest needs of the
University has been the establishmen!
of fellowships which allow students
to carry on research in higher work
It is the interest in investigation that
these fellowship allow upon which th
art of teaching rests.
The members of the graduate coun
cil issued a formal request to the
Chancellor encouraging contributions
The Palladian Literary Society ha-1
pledged to raise $3,000 of the $"10,000
which is the amount of the endow

VARSITY FACES

HUSKERS PUST SHOW DEVELOP
MENT TO DEFEAT KAN SANS.
Ichabods Coming With Strong Team
Plotting Defeat of Nebraskans
Rutgers Defeated Saturday.
Coach Schulto's 1920 football ma
chine has had its first test. The
scrap with the Freshman eleven Sat
urday afternoon was the initial taste
of battle that the ITuskers have on
.ioyed this season. The Varsity-Freshmen
tilt has become an annual event
;.f the Ilusker institution and is usual
ly held on the Saturday preceding
the opening game. Its purpose is to
give the coaches a definite idea of the
real value ' of the material on both
squads and Saturday's game was by
no means a failure in this respect.
The outstanding lesson taught by
the first scrimmage was that the
Cornhusker Varsity must develop to
considerable extent if such teams as
Notre Dame, Michigan Aggies, Kan
sas, Rutgers, Penn State and Wash
ington State are to be defeated and
the University of Nebraska is once
more to enjoy an all-victorious sea
son. The "Frosh" crew held the
Varsity at bay with apparent ease
Saturday and at several stages of the
game outplayed the veterans com
pletely. A sensational run by Thomp
son and the blocking of one of
T.ewellen's punts were responsible for
Varsity scores. The Yearling counter
was earned by straight football. The
1920 Freshman team is equipped with
an exceptionally heavy i.ne and this
accounts in a large measure for the
apparent inabality of the Varsity back?
to make any very substantial gains.
Ichabod Coming Strong.
The few days intervening before
the approaching game with Washburn
must witness some rapid progress in
the Ilusker ranks if Schulte's team is
to chalk up a victory against the
Kansas school. Washburn is by no
means bringing a green or inexperi
enced team to Lincoln and the Corn
nuskers must display greater gri liror
ability than was in evidence Saturday
in order to win. It is quite likely
that the Nebraska line will outweigh
the Washburn forwards as the beefy
Husker line is one of Schulte's main
points of attack. Again it is quite
likely that the Washburn backfield
will possess greater poundage t.ian
the Nebraska aekfield. The No
braska bruks are of the steady, sure
variety, with nothing of the spectacu
lar about them. The Ilusker team
