THE DAILY
MIL COMPETITIVE
DRILL LAST OF MAY
Eight Companies Comprising One
Thousand Students to Try
for Honors.
Eight companies, comprising ap
proximately 1,000 cadets In the re
served officers training corps of the
University, will compete for the high
est honors in military maneuvering
in the anual competitive drill sched
uled for May 26, 1921.
The twenty-eighth annual "compel
will be held on the new drill grounds
north of Social Science hall. This
field has been cleared of tree stumps
and rubbish during the last six months
and put in excellent shape for the
use of the military department
Colonel Moses says that he is ex
pecting a big turn-out of the student
body for this event which will begin
promptly at 1 o'clock and continue
for bout two hours.
There is considerable enthusiasm
among the different companies as to
what company will take the honors at
this occasion. At the regimental
parades which have been staged every
Monday night for the past six weeks
Company "A, commanded by Captain
Chauneey B. Nelson, has managed to
carry off the honors. "A" company
is proud of this record and it is Te-
.ported that it is confident of winning
the laurels at "compet" There are
several other companies, however.
that have also been showing them
selves to be first class in regimental
parade. These are Companies "G
and "H," who have both received
second place several times and have
been commended by Colonel Moses
for their ability in military drill. Of
the other companies, several are put
ting in extra time outside of the regu
lar hours of drill to put themselves in
the best possible condition.
The order in which the companies
will pass in review has not as yet
been decided, but is usually done by
drawings from a hat by some un
interested party.
Dr. George Condra, director of the
division of conservation and survey
of the University, says that his de
partment may film this event for the
R. O. T. C, both on the ground and
from the air. Pictures filmed of Uni
versity events by this department are
shown all over the state and in mov
ing picture news services throughout
the count ry.
The R. O. T. C. companies and the
officers commanding them are as
follows:

LAWRENCE I. SHAW
Ivy Day Orator, University of
Nebraska, May 18, 1921
Lawrence I. Shaw, in delivering the
1921 Ivy day oration this morning
before a large crowd assembled around
the throne of the Queen of May, ap
pealed to the students and alumni of
the University to combine their
efforts for the development of a
greater Nebraska. He gave the charge
to the members of the graduating
class to ever be true to the Scarlet
and Cream.
The orator gave as three conditions
standing as obstructions in the way
toward a greater development: (1)
the fact that many influential people
of the state take but little interest in
the University, (2) the reluctance of
the legislature 1o appropriate mainte
nance funds, and (3) the frivolous
attitude of some of the students. He
challenged the students to lay aside
petty political prejudices and to work
lor the "growth and prosperity of
their beloved 'Alma Mater.'"
The complete test of the speech
follows:
Alma Mater.
Members of the Class of 1921 and
Fellow Students: Agreeable to an
age-old custom we are gathered here
at this hour in order that we may
carry out a part of our annual Ivy
day exercises. The spring of 1898,
twenty-nine years after the founding
of our University, marked the begin
ning of this custom. That year, and
a few years thereafter, the occasion
was strictly a senior affair. The
ceremonies of the day were enlirely
serious. The seniors, who composed
the older and more serious-minded
element of the University students,
dedicated the day to the pleasant
experiences and blessed associations
of their cillege life, and in reverent
supplications they plead for the
fciwwiu o.uu iil'ot-peliij Oi tutu' tic
loved Alma Mater.
With that growth and prosperity
which is now here, has come a great
change in conditions. The Ivy day
custom is now a tradition. That
tradition now belongs to every stu
dent in the University. A day ha?
been given us upon which we may
lay aside our books and our studies
and combine a celebration of jast
achievements with a solemn petition
for fulure accomplishments. Custom
has bf en jileased to arrange that an
oration shall be given on that day by
a member of the senior class and the
subject of that oration this year is
"Alma Mater."
It is with a great deal of reluctance
that one arises in an attempt to edify
your cultured ears so long accustomed
to the inspirational and educational
deliberations of our good deans and
instructors; and It would be vanity
in one to feel confident that he could
do so. But, he would be untrue to
his trust if he did not in all earnest
ness and in all sincerity attempt to
say something today that shall be
worthy of your careful attention.
Much can be said and much has
been said as to what should be done
Jn the construction of a great instilu
lion of learning. But It appears that
little has been said as to what the
regard of a college student or a col
lege graduate should be for the In
stitution which he attended or from
which he was graduated. Let us con
sider, then, that part that our love
for our Alma Mater plays in making
this a more noble and glorious in
stitution. To be Nebraska born, Nebraska-bred
and educated at the University of
Nebraska means among other things
that we should take an active Interest
in all state Jnstitutions, more espe
cially our University.
It Is a matter of comon knowledge
that our University Is supported by
our falhers and by a large number of
us as taxpayers. It Is controlled by
representatives selected by ns. There
fore, we see that Indirectly the In
stitution Is the fruit of our own labors
and designs. As students we come
here and spend from four to six years
of our lives and the University be
comes so to speak, a part of our home.
We give It the name Alma Mater;
that Is, "fostering mother." Should
we sot have something of the same
regard for our school as we do for
our own home and mother?
Now, let us consider our Alma
Mater in a little broader sense. The
interests of Nebraska people, are in
the resources and Industries of our
state. Since those resources and in
dustries are agricultural In the main,
we have a great demand for develop
ment along agricultural lines. Hence
our State Farm is as great an in
stitution of its kind as there is in the
United States.
Now, can we say as much for all
other departments of our University
as we can of our State Farm? Are
they meeting Jthe demands of our
state? In the most instances, our
answer to the last question would be,
"yes." The teams of our athlelic de
partment, the great fighting arm of
our Alma Mater, are competing with
the best in the United States. We
need only glance at that impressive
new Social Science building and we
ee evidence of a demand for develop
ment that is being satisfied. But,
these demands are rapidly increasing
and the duty rests upon us to supply
them. There are three conditions
that stand as obstructions in our way
toward the satisfaction of those de
mands. They are, first, the fact that
many influential people of our stale
take but little interest in our school;
second, the reluctance on the part
of cur legislature to appropriate funds
for our maintenance, and last, that
there are many misled students here,
with a frivolous attfiude with the sole
purpose of getting a society pin.
Teople say that the existance cf
such conditions is the result of in
competent instruction or because of
petty politics played among our au
thorities for personal distinction. Such
conclusions are, for the most part,
erroneous. The fault lies mainly with
you students and with our graduates.
Let me reiterate that it is our duty
to supply every demand of this Uni
versity. Such a duty may seem to
present to us a complex problem. On
the contrary, the problem presented is
very simple. Do you ask for the
solution? Here it is:
Individually we should act so as
to mould public sentiment to keep
legislatures of the future from pass
ic laws that Hill thwart the demands
of this University. By our daily con
duct with citizens in out-lying dis
tricts, making it clear to them that
we stand for those great policies that
will lift humanity and look to ,vhe
development of the human race. When
that is done there will be obliterated
from every statute of our state that
iniquitous policy that withholds our
opportunities to associate with the
most industrious, and to develop along
lines of character and life.
Let us throw aside petty political
and religious prejudices and devote
our time and attention to thines that
will bring tranquility and happiness
to humanity.
Let us progress. Backward, let not
a ftep be taken by this great Class of
1921. Let us adopt policies in a con
servative way that will make our Uni
versity one of the leading institutions
in the United States. How are we
to do it?
Singly and alone you may accom
plish some good. "A single sunbeam
may illume some dark Fpot and lend
a passing fmlle of gladness to the
brow of youth; but combined with all
the rest of the sun's rays It Irradiates
the whole world with a light and
glory." So It is with human industry.
Singly and alone you. Mr. Smith, and
you. Mr. Jones, and you. Miss White,
may accomplish some good. Put
combine the concentrated and con
secrated efforts of the Nebraska Uni
versity alumni, and we shall drive
ignorance and superstition from the
borders of our commonwealth and
set up our sons and daughters a
polished corner stones of the greatest
University on God's footstool.
This, then, is our heritage. We
are henceforth to be loyal sons and
daughters of our Alma Mater. I
solemnly charge and admonish you
to be ever true io the Scarlet and
the Cream.
