ClAiS OF 1912
The loom of college life never stops
but the pattern in weaving changes
and the colors used when the sun
wont down may be different on the
morrow. The fabric of love for Alma
Mater is real and strong and not of
glass threads to be Fiinapped at grad
uation. Certain fibers of our being-
pride, loyalty and gratitude furnish
the warp, but the woof is of the finer
filaments of friendships which mark
the beauty of college life. The de
signs sland out clear and as we study
the pattern in retrospect its full
charm envelopes us. Concrete remind
ers of the good old college days are
the clas- gifts which all the "old
grads" will view with heart tugs in
June when they come for the big
Cornhusker roundup of the alumni of
the University of Nebraska. There
seems to be no limit to the enthusiasm
with which the plans for this June re
union are received by the alumni over
the country. East, west, north, south
from everywhere they are coming to
the biggest three days fun festival
ever held on the 1'niversity of Ne
braska campus.
Among ihe first "loadstones" to
draw them will be "The Boulder," the
gift of the class of 19S2, of which
Bean C. C. Engberg and Prolessor
Louise Pound were members. Ne
braska possesses this rock "by a hair."
Negotiations were almost completed
and it was about to be shipped to the
Iowa college. Luckily, the Nebraska
students, through Prof. Barboiu,
stepped in just in time to secure "The
Boulder" for the University of Nebras
ka, where it rightfully belongs, cilice
it came from near Hartington in this
state. This huge stone had been flat
tened in the glacial movements and
Indians had traced their progress on
its bread flat face. Since being placed
on the University campus a symbol
of the. war days of early Nebraska
history as well as a memorial of the
class of 1S9L' the weather has worn
many of the sins, but they are still
lecible by careful inspectian. It was
known at Hartington as "Indian Rock'
boa' use of the trr.cings by the Indians.
James Boyd Macdonald, then of North
Piatte, now of Omaiui, was chairman
of the committee ori Limiting the idea
of importing this rock to the city
campus.
One of thp most treasured of class
memorials is the collection of framed
pictures of all the chancellors of the
university down to and including th"
then Chancellor Andrews. This col
lection was presented by the class
of 1905 and Roy E. Darrow of Lin
coln, now professor at the Univer
sity, and Mrs. Eunice Davis Darrow
of Lincoln, were members of the com
mittee which finally settled upon this
fitting class gift. , Fred M. Hunter,
now Sunt, of Schools at Berkeley,
Calif., was president of the class of
1905. The money for this gift was
not raised by staging a dance or oth
er form of entertainment for profit,
but by an assessment of $3.50 from
every member of the class making It
a truly complete class gift. It was
no easy task to assemble this collec
tion, especially of the older chancel
lors and it was fortunate that the
class of 1905 undertook It for in less
than a year afterward the first chan
cellor died. The pictures are now
hung in the registrar's office. It is
hoped the collection may be hung at
some future date in a more advantag
eous setting that the entire student
body may grow acquainted with the
leading spirits of the college days of
the past.
The "Linden Tree" was planted on
the campus in 1905 to commemorate
the hundredth anniversary of the
death of Schiller, the great Gorman
poet and thinker. It was a more
sapling in those days but now is a
large spreading tree despite the re
luctance of lindens to grow on the
Nebraska campus. Professor Fosslor
(1SS1), as head of the Gorman De
partment of the University, was one
of the large donors toward the erec
tion of this memorial. The old Ger
man Club, also was identified with
its dedication. The tree was procured
in this country by C. J. Ernst, then
regent of the university. During the
war many threats were made to have
the tree cut down because of its Ger
man origin and because it was plant
ed by members of the German depart
ment. Prof. Laurence Kossler, who is
seen standing near the fence in the
above picture, was influential in pro
tecting this memorial. The fine
bronze plate which was on the iron
fence surrounding the tree was torn
off, however, by someone and has
not been returned td this day.
"The Bench" was presented by the
class of 110(1. It describes a half cir
cle of artificial stone- around a large
shade tree and thousands of students
have felt its charm and appreciated
its convenience. "Bench work" has
boon a' part of almost every student's
training.
"The Sun Dial," given by the class
of 11107, was designed by a, students
an 1 when it was set up, it was dis
covered to have been made for an
entirely different 'angle of the sun
from that found in Lincoln and that
it would not accurately indicate the
time of day.
Prof. Swezey made new calculations
and the stone was re-out. It now reg
isters, with very slight variation, the
correct time. It is a dignified exam
pie of aneient timepieces anjl at the
time of .its erection was so great an
innovation in the commuity that cu
riosity seekers visited it often. It
was particularly attractive to chil
dren, who pried out pieces of metal,
which had to be replaced many times.
At present it is in good working or
der.
"The Fountain," which satisfies the
thirst of the thousands passing daily,
was the gift of the class of 1909 and
