Cornhusker A Mirror Reflecting
Years Campus Life At Nebraska
What purpose does the Cornhusker
serve at Nebraska? What purpose
do the college annuals serve at their
particular colleges? What is the re
lation of the year-books to the stu
dents in general? The answer to
these questions is simple. The. year
books serve to mirror nil campus life
for the current school year. The
Everybody's Cornhusker will reflect
in all its classic mnjestty the' activi
ties of Nebraska University for the
year 1921-22.
. Everybody's Cornhusker will be a
imperishable history of the happen
ings in Cornhuskerland. It will be a
regal book, full of carefully chosen
photographs and well written sub
ject matter. The cover will be of
simple design, yet imposing in its
grandeur. Indian designs have been
used to enhance the beauty and dig
nity of the borders of each page.
The 'name of the 1922 yearbook
Everybody's Cornhusker is fully just
ified. While the presses are working
turning out the, final pages of the
annual, the staff realizes that in ad
dition to the regularly asigned staff
members, many students have taken
the opportunity to affiliate themselves
with the Cornhusker as contributors
both of time, energy and ideas. Truly,
every Cornhusker has in some way
contributed to this year's book.
INTELLECTUAL TREAT
ON RAND FOR ALUMN
Dr. James H. Finley, Associate
Editor of New YorK Times
is Chief Speaker
The Alumni reunion June 1 to 3,
will be the most important and larg
est ever held on the University Camp
us. It is fitting, therefore, that the
commencement address should be
given by a man of great achievements,
who is an orator as well.
Dr. John H. Finley, Associate Editor
of' the New York Times, has been
secured as commencement orator for
the graduating exercises on June 5th.
Dr. Finley was born in Illinois in
63, and graduated from Knox college
in Galesburg in '87. Chancellor Avery
recalls that the public first became
conscious of Mr. Finley's existence
through the old interstate oratorical
contest in which the latter as a stu
dent once won first place delivering
an oration entitled "Conservation on
Element of Progress." A very bril
liant effort was presented in this con
structive but at the same fime con
servative production of the young
collegian. After spending two years
at Johns Hopkins he was called to
the presidency of Knox college where
he remained for three years after
which he became professor of poli
tics at Princeton, president of the Col
lege of the City of New York, Com
missioner of Education of the State
of New York, and president of the
New York State University. He was

All Poetic Talent Of Senior Class
Asked To Help Wrtie Annual Ballad
With days like these it is time for
the senior poets to began to snatch
at inspirations and write the poem
for the class of 1922. Here is the
chance to gain fame through one of
Nebraska's oldest traditions. The
chosen poet struts up the carpeted
aisle, and Is one of the notables on
Ivy Day rubs elbows with the Queen
and Orator. And another thing
an audience is insured, who will listen
with pleasure to impassioned lines
dedicated to the best class ever
turned from the shadows of old U
Hall.
The Mortarboards, senior women's
honorary society, will act as judges
to the manuscripts submitted and
will base their decision on the very
This opportunity which students
have had to unofficially connect them
selves with the publication of Every
body's Cornhusker has been the means
by which much uncovered talent along
various lines has been brought to
light. The new book, when it Is dis
tributed the middle of next month,
will contain the handiwork of hun
dreds of conscientious students who
believe that Nebraska deserves an an
naul as representative as the Badger
is to the University of Wisconsin and
the Lucky Bag to the Naval Academy
t Annapolis.
Every activity will have its own
niche in the 1922 Cornhusker. No de
partments 'of the University will be
slighted. Space in the book, this
year will not be devoted to phases of
University life that are merely statist!
cal and Interesting to those pursuing
the book. In other words,' the new
Cornhusker will be the looking glass
that truthfully depicts University life
as it has been staged during the
present school year.
Perhaps there are still a few books
for sale at the Student Activities
office in the southwest entrance to
Administration Hall. If students have
not yet subscribed for this year's
annual, they should avail themselves
of this opportunity at once before
the books are entirely sold.
IVY DAY TO GOI ON

Tapping of Innocents, Masking

Traditions Observed
The Cornhusker Roundup several
days of revelry for students end
alumni of the University of Nebraska
will make June 1-3 a memorable
chapter in the history of the school.
Ivy Day, a tradition that has been
a cherished annual celebration since
1898, will be observed this year the
first day of the Roundup June 1.
On this traditional day, the Inno
cents will be tapped, the Mortarboards
masked, the class oration given, the
poem read, the May Queen crowned
and the ivy planted.
In 1898, Ivy Day was a strictly
Senior affair and its scope was limited
to a few activities. Several years
later it was declared a University holi
day and all classes were dismissed
for the festivities.
After the organization of the Inno
cents Society in 1903, and the de
velopment of "Black Masque, which is
now a chapter of the national women's
Senior society, Mortarboard, the tap
ping of next year's members of the

the Ivy Day program.

sentiment. Whether written in the
freest verse or the most conservative
form, all poems will be given the
most careful consideration. The poet
chosen will have the honor of taking
a major part in the most festive day
on the Nebraska calendar, as well as
adding materially to the history of
the schol. As the days grow fewer
the soon-to-be graduate realizes more
than ever that he Is putting behind
him the four happiest years of his

Tells of the Connection Between
Engineering and Astronomy
Work of Today
"Astronomy has many enm'neerin;:

tronomers are really machines called
instruments," said Professor G. D.
Swezey of the Department of Asiroii
omy, in his address on "Astronomy

engineering lecture last Monday.
Professor Swezey explained how the
planet on which we live was first
measured und compared the old meth
od with the one used today. A base
line of many thousands of miles Is
measured on the surface of the earth
and the angle of a star is obtained.
From this data, by mathematical com
putation, the measurement of the
earth is obtained. The survey of the

Tlv Scarlet and ("ream cinder path

Henry F. Schulte is in charge of the
track men, and he will take the fol

Ed Sn-.ith, I. K. Lukons, Dave Deer
ing, Dave Noble, M. Layton, Ted
Smith, Hawkins, Bechord, Higgins,
Coats, Wier, Bieser, Gardner, Slem-
mons, Fischer,' Allen, Weller and
Moulton. Several others may also DC
added to the list before the team
leaves today.
Nebraska's prospects for winning a
creditable number of points in tne
Relays are exceedingly bright. The
Husker four-mile team, which win
probably consist of Gardner, Allen,
Fischer, and Coats, is the fastest quar
tet of milers ever seen at the Corn
husker institution. Allen is the Val
ley indoor champion, yet he was de
feated by Gardner last Saturday.
Coats and Fischer were both close
behind in this race, and are excellent
runners.
The mile-relay team is composed
of four of the speediest quarter-milers
that ever graced the Nebraska field
track. Hawkins, Layton, Ted Smith
nd Bechord make up .the mile team.
The following sprinters compose the
440 yard relay team, Ed Smith, I. K.
Lukens, Dave Noble, and Dave Deer
ing. These stars all run the century
In 10.2 or better. The half-mile
team will be the same as the 440,
with the exception of Layton, who
will replace Dave Deering.
The two-mile relay team will prob
ably be composed of the following
half-milers, Higgins, Wier, Simmons,
and Bieser. Weller who threw the
discuss 134 feet, breaking the vars
ity record, will compete in the shot
put and is expected to cop a share
of the honors in this event.
Upsete were recorded in both the
special tryouts which were held last
night. The Mile run between E. V.
Allen and Ted Slemmons, Omaha
Melics, was won by the latter in
4:3S after a nice run. Allen, who
was expected to win, finished in 4:40.
Tim runners were slowed up some
what by the strong wind.
In tryout between Gibhs and Deer
ing for the fourth place on the 440
team, Deering was defeated by Gibbs
last Saturday, won by a margin in
10.2. The runners were aided con
siderably by having a strong wind
at their back.
