A SARDINE EXHIBIT
Probably nothing is packed together
as closely as sardines are packed iu
cans. The little fishes are caught by
the millions, cleaned ana baked in the
same numbers and packed in tins with
no breathing space between.
There is a building on the univer
sity campus which much resembles
the inside of a sardine can in the
way its contents are packed together.
That building is the museum.
It is not the fault o:' the janitors
or the custodians of the museum that
this condition exists. It is the fault
of the state legislature in not appro
priating funds toward the building of
a new museum.
Housed in an old tumble down look
ing building the museum is not a
pleasant place to visit. The exterior
is not inviting. Hut, once one passes
the threshold, a most interesting sight
greets bis eyes.
Fossils and relics of kinds are
spread over every square inch yt
space. And while many times the
amount of "stuff" than the volume of
the building warrants is packed into
the museum, there is sti'l many times
that amount resting, sight unseen,
among different buildings on the uni
versity campus and around the city.
The University of Nibraska needs
a new museum; it needs a museum
which would be at least twice as large
as any single building on the present
campus. At least if it is to properly
house its possessions it needs a build
ing that large. A million dollars could
not be more profitably (pent than in
the museum.
The state of Nebraska needs a mus
eum. A museum placed on the uni
versity campus, controlled and owned
by the state, would be the best form
of advertising possible to find. The
state of Nebraska has some of the
richest beds for museum relic seek
ers of any state in the union but it is
sorrowly lacking in places to exhibit
those rare possessions which it pos
sesses. Because of the out of the way lo
cation of the museum, because of the
forbidding character of the building
in which it is housed, few Lincoln
people ever visit it. Yet on trips they
visit other museums which do not
possess nearly as valuable or as rare
pieces as the Nebraska exhibit and
come home to tell their friends of
the wonder3. Jrhey advertise that
museum. It is worth a fortune to
whatever city or state owns it.
The state of Nebraska lias some
Pieces which are not duplicated in
any museum in the United States or
the world. It should hive a building
10 house them in, one which would in
vite visitors and wouM spread the
fame of its existence unsolicitated
among the peoples of the entire continent.
THE SMALL AND LARGE COLLEGE
When President Harding stopped off
at Musklingham college, Ohio, re
cently, he praised his alma mater as
any good alumnus under the. circum
stances would do. And in the course
of his remarks he declared that "the
smaller colleges thr.uish more inti
mate octiti-t. develop character and
the will to U :ge ahei To yuoie his
words furthi r:
"1 like your institution also because
I. is very close to my ideal of the
American educational institution. 1
have full pride, I have every reverence
for the great universities of our" coun
try. I suppose I should be as unhappy
as vou if we did not have them, but
If I were to choose, I would rather
have an American made up of those
who are educated at our less con
spicuous and less largely attended
universities."
Mr. Harding raised no new question.
The relative rank of a large college
and a small college has been the sub
ject of debate for many years. If it is
more pronounced now than before, it
is simply because the trend is toward
larger colleges and "the latter are
now crowded to more than capacity.
Mr. Harding's own college, Muskling
ham, has since the executive's school
days, combined with Central Ohio col
lege. The whole state of Ohio is
proud of its great state university and
is alert to increase the facilities of
that institution. The question arises,
was Mr. Harding (simply speaking
sympathetically of a friend, or is he
speaking the voice of an influential
group of American citizens who will
attempt to bring the rmall college
hack to its own?
There are many obvious virtues to
he found about a small college. The
student comes in direct contact with
his professors and there is that in
valuable opportunity to form attach
ments with his elder co-tnsellor. Many
a successful man today gives much
credit for bis success to the splendid
character of some small college profes-

know each other and friendships of
the broadest character are found in
such institutions.
On the other hand, the larger col
lege offers its attentoi inw
lege offers its attractions. It can af
ford to hire the very best trained men
in science and art. U can afford
equipment which is impossible in the
smaller institution. There is also the
desire of many young men and women
to receive their diplomas from schools
that are nationally rather than locally
known.
But more important- than the super
iority of the large or small college is
the need for more colleges. Generally
speaking there are no colleges in the
United States today which are not
crowded fcr room and short of equip
