LOOKING AHEAD.
Not long ago a young attorney re
turned to his school for a short visi.
mpt his old professors, searched
out some of the friends of former days
and went home to his fraternity house
intending to go right to bed his first
night, but he didn't.
This chap was making a moderate
success in his chosen profession. He
had worked no harder than the aver
age while at Nebraska and was doing
just about what is expected of the
average Husker. The younger men of
his organization were impressed with
this fellow and, as best they could,
drew him out about his life while in
the University, of his everyday ev
periences. and what he would have
done if be had the job to do over
again.
"I'd develop forsight above most all
other qualities," he said. His audience
gasped. "Foresight" very few profes
sors drilled the need of THAT accomp
lishment into them. What did this fel
low mean?
"If I had forsight while going to
school at Nebraska, I'd put in part of
three years of my time in some law
yer's office down town," he continued.
"If I could have received three years
of practical work with, my three years
of theory, I would be much farther
than I am now ,and not so bruised."
The man was right. How many
Nebraskans are without

There is a decided lack of it in the;
little things as well as in the bis i
things we attempt. This lack is one
of the most serious things we nave
to contend with.
At the end of a semester most of
us look with envy at the student that
has a well-kept, and absolutely com
plete note-book from which he can
review the important points in his
course. We appreciate how clever
those students were who worked off
their requirements in their first two
or three years, leaving the last two
free for the specialization that this
preliminary drill work-out has shown
Js needed.
There is always admiration for the
political leader who has played with
this force or that force for months so
his plan.
that at the critical time he can mar
shal the necessary power to "put
across" his plan.
The football player that trains dur
ing the summer months so that he is
"hard as nails" when the season be
gins shows up well right from the
start, can devote his time to the finer
points of the game without worrying
about "condition" and is far surer of
a birth than the men who are "soft"
when the season starts and must work
strenuously to reduce the surplus
weight and bring back the wind that
too many cigarets have taken from
them.
In Nebraska today there are manv
men and women holding positions oi
trust and responsibility that have
reached their places, not so much
from ability, but from foresight. Hard
work, of course, has helped, but the
ability to analize conditions far in
the future has been their best help.
But why go on recounting the many
instances where foresight has played
euch an important part? The business
geniuses of today apparently are
wizards when it comes to using this
quality. Isn't that enough of a reason
for us to begin in a small way, with
our own affairs to develop this quality?

Serene I fold my hands and wait,
Nor care for time nor tide nor sea;
I fret not more 'gainst time or fate
For lo! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand amidst the eternal ways
And what is mine shall know my
face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day,
The frineds I seek are seeking me:
No wind can drive my bark astray
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matters if I stand alone,
I wait with joy the coming years:
My heart shall reap what it has sown
And gather up its fruit of tears.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave comes to the sea
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, nor
high
Can keep my own away from me.
The waters know their cwn and draw
The brook that springs in yonder
heights;
So flows the good with equal law
Unto the sould of pure delights.
Study will give, they claim.
