A program of the all-University events until com mencement day is printed today so that students may keep in touch with them. The staff for the Nebraskan for the first semester of next year has not yet been chosen. STUDY OE SCIENCE HOLDS INTERESTING PLACE IN COLLEGE Nebraska Has Developed Men Who Have Done Important Work in Fundamental Sciences. The early students of the College of Arts and Sciences not only had good minds, but had grown up under a regime of stern self-discipline. The young scientists who came westward to teach here were filled with an en thusiasm which can scarcely be matched today. They come from older centers of learning where the work of Darwin and Pasteur had swept in as a great spiritual impulse. Scientists truly felt that the answers to mighty questions were not far off. Given this combination, is it any wonder that Nebraska has developed from among her own undergraduates men who have done important work in all of the fundamental sciences? When the college was young the "literary" subjects were in the saddle, and we arc told that an actual line of social clevage existed between students who elected the sciences and those who behaved themselves. Over the country as a whole, however, the humanities had become careless of their responsibility to the mind and spirit of man. Good and bad, at all institutions alike, they were presently compelled to give way before the on rush of enthusiasm for science. Some tried to compromise by taking over the methods, or even the designation of science. Others bravely kept up the fight; while not a few of the hu manities,, retired into a condition of suspended animation. Today, perhaps, the scientist would regard as an impertinence any ques tion as to his place in a scheme of however, cannot ever become an im pertinance. The matter of training competent investigators and of keeping alive within the college a genuine spirit of search for truth needs no defense. Human society seems to require both as a condition of survival in the face of material difficulties, although to a lesser degree than we sometimes al lege. The crucial question is this what has science to offer the student whose main work lies elsewhere ? What be side a few hours of credit ought ho be given to carry with him througr life? Certain bits of useful knowl edge as occasional tools, perhaps. But if it ended there the wise thing to do would be to sift all of our sciences and give a course in Practical Expe diencies. The student ought to get an appreciation of certain phenomena with which any given science deals; an understanding of how these phe nomena have been studied, and to what degree they are understood. Above all he must be convinced that he is part of a lawful universe if science can convince him. Perhaps this is a dull way of say ing that science in a liberal education cannot serve so much to break thru the limitations which fetter the human mind as to make clear that those limi tations exist. Science, in spite of her glories and conquests, tends to put man back in his humble place. There fore, may it not be that science must always serve as a complement, to the humanities? The humanities in their contemplation of the achievements of the human spirit (of which science is but one) must ever hold up before man, not the world of which is is a part, but the world which is within himself. Due to the absence of Librarian M. G. Wyer and Professor H. E. Bradford, the Publication Board will not meet until the middle of next week. Time for filings has extended until Saturday, May 26. SAVE YOUR MONEY THIS SUMMER TO PAY ONJTAOIUM Second Installments of Pledges on Huge Memorial Stadium Will Be Due Next October. QUICK PAYMENT URGED When Students Return Next Fall Stadium Will Be Practically Ready for First Grid Game. Today is the last day of school! The fifteenth of next September when students return for the 1923-24 school year, the Nebraska Memorial Stadium will be complete in every possible de tail and will be in the process of set Ling so as to be ready for the first football game of the season. In October all second ir.sUIIments on stadium pledges will be due. Be tween now and then the stadium com mittee will have to pay interest on every cent of money represented by unpaid pledges. Between now and October, approximately $2,500 in in terest in student pledges alone will have to be paid. Dining the summer practically all the students will work, and will save money for the next school year. Dur ing this period, students will do well to make a special effort to pay their stadium pledges in full, and in that way save the stadium a huge sum of money, according to notice from stadium headquarters. Next fall if the entire $107,000 in student pledges is paid in full, the stadium will have nearly $7,500 more than it will have if every stadium pledge is paid in the regular semi annual installments. It is all a purely voluntary matter, but the Memorial association feel that students, out of a sense of patriotism and a desire for a bigger and better Mer.orial' stadium next fall, will make advance payments on their stadium pledges now. At any time during the summer that students feel able to make further payments on their pledges, they may mail their money or checks directly to stadium headquaters, 10(5 Law building, Station A, and their pledges will be credited for the amount they remit. Students who have not yet been able to make stadium pledges may, if they wish, make pledges dur ing the summer when they, will feel more able to meet the payment. Specifications as they are now pre pared and being worked on by the contractor call for the west and east stands of the stadium to be ready about the firt of September. The collonades and the east and west towers will not be finished by that time unless nearly $150,000 more in stadium pledges is raised during the summer months. Progress on the stadium is now- rapid. Dirt is being moved by tnc ton each day, and the contractor is piling up his materials, bringing them in over the more than four blocks of spur track which has been built to the stadium grounds.

E Professor Caldwell of History Department Is Retired Dr. Neihardt Added Prof. H. W. Caldwell, professor of American history at the University of Nebraska, who has been on a leave of absence for the past year, is now retired, according to action by the Board of Regents taken Tuesday. Professor Caldwell has been spend ing his time in writing history and expects to continue this work. He has been a member of the faculty since 1883. John B. Hicks of Greensboro, North Carolina, was appointed pro fessor of American history by the re gents. Dr. John G. Neihardt of Bancroft, Nebraska's poet laureate, was ap pointed professor of poetry without salary by the regents' action Tues day. The Board of Regents of the Uni versity of Nebraska, which met Tues day in the Chancellor's office with all members present, received the resig nation of John A. Luithly, assistant professor of dairy husbandry, who has accepted an attractive offer in com mercial work. The Board authorized a contract with the University alumni office whereby certain services shall be per formed for a specific sum. This is harmony with the report of the legis lative committee, which desired that the alumni office budget be kept dis tinct from that of the University propei'. The faculty of Teachers College was regrouped in such a way that Dr. Lida B. Em-hart becomes chairman of the department of elemental education and Miss Leuvicy Hill, chairman of the department of commercial educa tion. These changes involve no in crease in the budget. The University's activities in the field of journalism (the journalism courses in the various colleges, the curriculum for the certificate in jour nalism, the printing plant facilities for class and student-publications lab oratory work, the University News service, and other related work) are co-ordinated into a school of journal ism (within the College of Arts and Sciences) with M. M. Fogg as director. Silver Serpents Elect Officers for Next Year Frances Weintz was elected presi dent; Barbara Wiggenhorn vice-president, and Ruth Carpenter, secretary treasurer of the Silver Serpents at their meeting after the annual ban quet for alumni and active members Tuesday evening. Miss Louise Pound of the depart ment of English, told or the origin of the organization, and other talks were made by the new members of the so ciety. Senior Invitations Senior Invitations will be ready Fri day at the College Book Store. of YEAR COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES WILL HOLD CELEBRATION TODAY Hundreds of Students and Faculty Members of Oldest College on Campus Will Gather at Convocation at Eleven O'clock i;iTempIc and Banquet in Evening at Miller and Paine's. ALL ELEVEN O'CLOCK CLASSES WILL BE DIS3IISSED Dean Philo M. Buck Is Chairman for Convocation Regent George N. Seymour of Elgin Will Make Address Will Hold Initiation Ceremonies for New Mem bers of the Vestals. It is fitting and necessary that the Faculty and students in the College of Arts and Sciences set apart at least one day in the year that they may come together and realize their common aims and ideals. Divided as the college is into a mul tiplicity of varied departments, it is sometimes difficult to understand that beneath this multiplicity lies a fundamental unity of purpose. To undertake conquests in the vast realms of ignorance and prejudice, to raise standards of excellence and taste, to improve speech and manners, to fortify judgment, to make reason and right understanding to prevail these are the tasks of higher education in America as elsewhere. The Amer ican College because of its unique and disinterested position in the world today, has as its peculiar heritage to be the leader in a new Renaissance of Learning and Culture. Let the College of Arts and Sciences of the University of Nebraska awaken fully to its responsibilities and privileges. P. M. BUCK, JR. Miss Margolin Is Chosen President of Menorah Club The Menorah Society has elected the following officers for the coming year: President, Lillian Margolin; vice president, Ida Ruth Bogan; secretary, Mary Yabroff; treasurer, Fred Gold stein. The society 'is a chapter of the Intercollegiate Menorah Association, whose headquarters is in "New York City. Omaha has another chapter, the members of which are students at the University of Omaha, Creighlon University, and University of Nebras ka Medical College. Probst Is Captain of Wrestling Team Rupert Probst was unanimously elected captain of the wrestling team for next year at a meeting of the men who won letters in wrestling this year, Wednesday. Captain Probst participated in five dual meets this year, winning four out of the five matches. He lost to Dickerson of Ames. He won decisively from Pfef fer of Iowa in the dual meet with Iowa. Pfelfer won the 115-pound class at the Western Intercollegiate Wrestling meet. Probst won third place in this meet. Vestals of the Lamp Is Honorary Society Vestals of the Lamp, honorary so ciety for women of the Arts and Science college was organized in the spring of 1922 with eleven student charter members and two members from the faculty. The organization has for its purpose the preservation of the traditions and ideal;? of the col lege of Arts and Sciences. The charter members were EI iza beth Scribner, Margaret Henderson, Ruth Fickes, Grace StufT, Clara Dick erson, Frances, Burt, Mary Sheldon, Addelheit Dettman, Ruth Kadel, Mary Leslie, Belle Farman, Elda Walker and Ruth Kadd. Membership is based on leadership in scholarship, and typical Arts and Science students are selected as mem bers. In selecting membei's some at tention is given to speciaL gifts along the lines of literature, dramatics and art. The members for this year were selected when "Academe," a campus ritual in the form of a masque of th.3 Arts and Science college, was given as one of the features of the Corn husker Roundup. The ritual, written by Prof. H. B. Alexander, is a drama of public initiation or selection of members for the honor society. It stands for the ideals of liberal edu cation as offered in the Arts and Science College. The society has fifteen student members, six seniors, six juniors and three sophomores. Alpha Nu, local fraternity of Cath olic men on the campus was recog nized at the May 10 meeting of the Committee on Student Organizations. It is the intention of the men of the organization to have a house next year and to apply for a charter of Phi Kappa, national fraternity for Catholics. Hundreds of students and members of the faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences will gather today at .a special convocation at the Temple at eleven o'clock and at a banquet at six o'clock at Miller and Paine's to cele brate annual Arts and Sciences Day. Eleven o'clock classes in the college are dismissed. The program for the convention has been announced as follows: Chairman D Philo M. Buck. Address Regent George N. Sey mour of Elgin. Initiation ceremonies for new mem bers of the Vestals. Announcement of new raenibeic of the Centurions. Fegev.t Scvmcr i.t Cj-ik't-.m.v n u ijj fied to speak on the occasion of the celebration of Arts and Sciences Day. according to members of the commit tee in charge of the morninjj meeting. He is a graduate of Amherst College, the leading college in the forwarding of the principles of Colleges of Liter ary Arts. The initiation ceremonies for the announcement of the names of the new members of the Vestals of the Lamp will be carried out in the same manner as in their past initiations. The initiation of the Centurions will occur later in the week. The latest reports on the number of tickets sold for the big holiday dinner for the college at Miller and Paine's in the evening indicates that more than the three hundred which attended last year will be on hand. Tickets may be purchased for a dollar each at the door but students are urged to buy earlier in the day at the Student Ac tivities office or from members of the Vestals or Centurions. The first graduate of the College of Arts and 'Sciences, Judge Dales, will give a short talk to the students at the dinner. Judge Dales has been connected with the University for a half century, but many undergradu ates have never had an opportunity to hear him. Students in charge of the dinner have announced that the affairs will be informal and in the nature of a col lege get-together. Musical numbers have been provided but will not be announced until this evening.' Dean Philo M. Buck will be pre sented by the president of the Cen turions who will have charge of the short evening program, to officially say "hello" to the members of the student body and faculty of his col lege following his trip around the world this winter. He has promised to tell some of his most interesting experiences in India and other places. Nominations Are Made to Complete W. A. A. Board The following nominations have been made to complete the W.
