BRYAN SPEAKS
AT CONVENTION
William Jennings Bryan Talks
Essentials of Success in
Legal Profession.
on
ACCORDED BIG RECEPTION
Brother of Governor Declares
That Lincoln Was "Great
est Lawyer America
Has Produced.
Wiliam J. Bryan told University of,
Nebraska law students in an hour
address in convocation Friday morn
ing, of the ideals and qualifications
that bring true success in the legal
profession. Mr. Bryan was greeted
by cheers and was heard with almost
breathless attention.
"I present one of the world figures
of all times Bryan," said Dean V. A.
Seavey of the College of Law in in
troducing the speaker.
"Faith in the wisdom of doing
right," Mr. Bryan gave as a maxim
upon wwhich to build life. "A lawyer's,
influence with a judge depends upon
the confidence of the judge in his
integrity. In proportion as you de
stroy the confidence of the judge in
yourself, you destroy your power to
help your client"
"I will define eloquence," Mr.
Brvan declared, "as knowing what
you are talking about and possessing
a real appreciation ot your subject.
It you have a subject which you
know, and you are sincere in pre
senting it, people will listen!"
Mr. Bryan asserted that the law Is
a steppne stone to public life, and
tl.at lawyers become the spokesmen
of the people. One who becomes the
officer of the court and assists In
securing justice is his ideal of a
lawyer, he announced. He considers
it a violation of the oath for a lawyer
to try to procuse for a client, that
which is undeserved, and held that
such practice is eventually destruc
tive to the lawyer himself.
"I regard Abraham Lincoln as the
greatest lawyer this country has pro
duced because ot his clearness of
statement." Mr. Bryan said in adopt
ing clearness as an essential for pub
lic speaking. He also cited Jefferson
as a man remarkable for his clarity
of expression. Brevity, simple illus
trationsand the use of the question,
were other requisites of succssfnl
public speaking that he mentioned.
"Some people ethink my only pur
pose in life has been to run for of
fice." said Mr. Bryan in sketching
brifly his own early training for the
lay. On the contrary, he said, he
was trying to get out. He told the
tory of a fat woman who asked help
of a ft low passenger on a train In
getting out at a stalon. She was so
large that she had been trying to get
off backwards and earh. time the con
ductor pushed her back on. "I have
passed three stations already," he
quoted her. "Like that woman I have
passed three stations already," Mr.
Bryan said.
which antedated that of being presi
dent, was to help make government.
Circumstances had diverted him from

Harvard Professor
Spe
eaks at Grinnell
Professor Hocking, Harvard Ex
change lecturer, who for the past
five weeks has been discussing the
various types ot philosophy, closes
his series of addresses Thursday
morning with a treatment to Mys
ticism. The field covered by Pro
fessor Hocking has been immense; his
series of lectures has included prag
matism, naturalism, realism, ideal
ism, and kindred views of life.
Mysticism was defined by Professor
Hocking as the belief that the realit
ies of the world are such that we can
not describe them although we know
them very intimately. The mystic be
lieves that the realties of the world
are beyond expression and are one.
This philosophy legitimately suggests
the mysterious, he said, and only il
legitimately the occult. Probably the
outstanding characteristics of Mystic
ism Is that it maintains a balance be.
tween the assertion and denial of
God's existence. The mystic avoids
saying that God la like or his char
acter but says that He exists, Is the
"way Professor Hocking put It.

SIGMA DELTA CHI 10
High School Journalists to Be
Entertained at l'ress
Convention.
Entries rr the "Bitter High School
Publications" contest under the aus
pUes of Sigma Delta Chi, honoiary
jo'irr.alistic fraternity, nre coining in
n.pidly. Applications wer sent dur
ing the last week in December to all
Xf braska high schools publishing
crkly or monthly papers.
The high schools will compete for
two loving cups which are being of
fc-rcd for the best, papers published
this school year. A committee from
Sigma Delia Chi will judge the papers
on a basis of ecellency of mechan
ical makeup, quality of advertise
ments, judgment of news values,
quality of stories and other minor
points listed on the circular distribut
ed by the University Extension Di
vision to the high schools.
The loving cups will be awarded
in May when the second annual
State High School Tress Association
meeting is held in Lincoln. Replies
received thus far indicate that every
school entered in the publication con
test wil send at least one delegate
to th convention. Two-thirds of the
entry blanks state that two delegates
will come to the meeting where prob
lems of high school phblications will
be discussed. Trominent Nebraska
journalists are being engaged to come
in Lincoln to talk to the high school
editors at the convention.
In addition to conducting the con
test to build up the number and
quality of high school papers in Ne
braska, the Weal chapter of Sigma
Delta Chi is maintaining a bureau
v. here high school editors and advis
ors may find information as to the
methods used successfully in the
publication of other high school
papers. Several advisors have al
ready taken the opportunity to use
the information collected for use. No
fees of any kind are being charged
for the contest or for the information
bureau.
The present plan of Sigma Delta
Chi is to tabulate the information
gathered from the entry blanks filled
out by the high schools and publish
them for the benefit of editors. Ques
tions which are asked on the entry
blank include:
Size of circulation, advertising
rates, number and length of columns,
frequency of publication, credit or re
muneration received by student ed
itors and whether or not the paper
is printed in th high school print
shop.
Further information on the conduct
of ihe contest may be secured by
writing to Sigma Delta Chi, Station
A, Lincoln. Within a short time It is
hoped that a complete list of high
schools which have entered the con
test will be ready for publication.

CHANCELLOR
CORNHUSKER
CAMPAIGN TO
OPEN MONDAY
Students Will Have First Oppor
tunity to Purchase Ne
braska Yearbook
Tomorrow.
CAMPAIGN ENDS THURSDAY
Two-Dollar Payment Down Will
Entitle Student to Ballot
on Representative
Section.
Students have tin ir first opportun
ity to order their 192:1 Cornhuskers
tomorrow morning when the sales
campaign fur the big Nebraska year
book commences with a committee
working in each colli ge. Tho cam
paign will close Thursday evening,
by which time nil subscriptions for
"Your Cornhusker" must be taken.
At the same time as the campaign,
voting will he conducted among the
students who order Cornhuskers to
determine the four senior men and
four senior women whose pictures
will appear in the representative sec
tion, which is this year replacing the
Beauty Section.
A rwo-dollnr payment nn the book
will entitle a student to a tag show
ing that he has subscribed and also
to a ballot for the senior representa
tives. The total price of the book is
J4.50, the additional payment not be
ing due until May when the books
are distributed. It is expected that
two thousand students will keep the
college chairmen busy during the
our days of the drive.
The editors of the 1923 Cornhusker
are asking students to notice that
this week is the time set aside for
all subscriptions to be taken. They
point out that a successful annual,
complete in every detail, cannot b9
published without a large subscrip
tion list.
In two places, booths for the vot
ing will be open during the cam
paign. One booth is to be locafed In
front of IT hall and the other will be
erected in the College Book Store
facing the campus. No ballots will
be counted which are not filled out
with the entire eight nominees. This
ruling has been made to prevent
campaigning for one or two people
alone which would hinder the editors
in their efforts to make the book
representative of the entire student
body.
Students are urged to keep in mind
that the senior representatives are
to be chosen for the service they
have done during their undergraduate
career at Nebraska.
At a) meeting of the college chair
man in the sales campaign held at
the Cornhusker office Friday after
noon, plans for the soliciting were
completed and instructions issued.
Booths for subscription-taking will be
built at the entrances of the main
buildings on both campuses. The
chairmen will direct their committees
during the four days of the campaign
and turn in results to the Cornhusker
office.
No soliciting will be allowed at the
voting booths this week by the Corn
husker management. Each vote Is
expected to reflect the individual opin
ion of the voter. Ballots will be num
bered to correspond to the sales slips
in order to guard against any dup
licate voting.
Elbert Evans is general chairman
of the sales campaign under the di
rection of the business manager. Co
chairmen from all colleges were ap
pointed last week to direct the cam
1-aign.
