Notices
Closer co-operation between the
University alumni of Omaha and the
undergraduate students of the Uni
versity will be only one of the bene
ficial results of the staging of the
1923 Kosmet Klub play, "The Yellow J
Lantern" in Omaha Monday ni.cht.
Ex-students of the University were
loud in their praise of the play.
Students in the Medical College, and
other Omaha colleges as well as high
schools helped in making the produc- (
tion a success.
Not for many years has such real
student talent been displayed before
the people of the state away from
the campus as was shown in the Kos
met play. The University is fortu
nate in having a student capable of
producing and directing in every de
tail such a play. The attempt to "put
the play across" in Omaha was a big
success and is a plan that may well
be followed each spring.
Other colleges, when conducting an
intro-mural baseball meet, do not con
fine the entries to fraternity nines.
In many Universities several leagues
of eight teams each are formed each
spring to compete for a championship
through a long series of games. At
Nebraska, the intra-mural champion
ship is determined within nearly so
much chance of display of real ability.
The plan at some schools is to ha
not only the fraternities but also
many other groups compete for the
first honors. One defeat does not
eliminate a contestant from the race
for the championship. Obviously this
plan is much fairer and the final se
lection of teams to play for the trophy
has a more sound basis.
Hardly any two schools carry out
exactly the same plan but almost all
have a more representative scheme
than that in practice on our campus.
Why not have some committee from
the "X" club or other similarly repre
sentative organization appointed to
study the problem with a view to ad
vocating a better system of conduct
ing intra-mural contests in the near
future ?

"No man should believe that the
work he is doing is being done in the
best possible way," says E. C. Bris
bane of the Westinghouse Electric
Company. And Mr. Brisbane should
be in a position to know for he is one
of the nation's leading engineers,
"Nothing is so perfect that it can
not be improved upon," he continues,
"and the man who does things a lit
tle better is the one who succeeds."
Here are some of his bits of ad
vice: i
"Haste is the seed of discourage
ment and those who hasten are laugh
ing at efficiency which will surely re
sult in discourapement.
"One of the reasons why American
business men in general are not as
efficient as they might be is the fact
that they invariably think of profits
with equality and service taking the
secondary position.
"If men are doing work -worth their
effort, the things they do require all
of their brain power and initiative
and thinking about money and profit
will seriously impair their efficiency
and ability to succeed.
"One thing that this world lacks is
faith. We haven't half enough of :L
Most people are always saying. "I
can't" when they should be saying, "I
will" and "I won't stop trying until
I have.
"Fear is a great disease which un
dermines the initiative and ambition
of man. Most men are entirely too
confident of their ability to faiL If
they were as confident of success they
would surely succeed.''
"Competition in "Man and Brain
Power" grows keener day by day.
"Therefore, if you woul3 attain the
laurels of success, be aggressive, fear
How Electrical
Engineering began
T IS not enough to ex-r
penment and to observe
in scientific research.
There must also be in
terpretation. Take the cases of
Galvani and Volt a.
Oneday in 1786 Galvani touched
with his metal instruments the
nerves of a frog's amputated hind
legs. The legs twitched in a
very life-like way. Even when the
frog's legs were hung from an iron
railing by copper hooks, the phe
nomenon persisted. Galvani
knew that he was dealing with
electricity but concluded that the
rreg's legs had in some way gen
crated the current.
Then came Volta, a contempo
rary, who said in effect:" Your in
terpretation is wrong. Two differ
ent metals in contact with a moist
nerve set up currents of electricity.
I will prove it without the aid of
frog's legs."
Volta piled disks of different
metals one. on top of another and
separated the disks with moist
pieces of doth. Thus he gene
rated a steady current. This was
the "Voltaic pile" the first bat
tery, the first generator of
electricity;
Both Galvani and Volta were
careful experimenters, but Volta's
correct interpretation of effects
gave us electrical engineering.
Napoleon was the outstanding
figure in the days of Galvani and
Volta. He too possessed an active
interest in science but only as an
aid to Napoleon.He little imagined
on ezaminingVclta's crude battery
that its effect on later civilization
would be fully as profound as that
of his own dynamic personality.
The effects of the work of Gal
vani and Volta may be traced
through a hundred years of elec
trical development even to the
latest discoveries maae in the Re
search Laboratories of the Gen.
eral Electric Company.
