Former Nebraskan
Represents Oxford
In Track Contests
Alfred I. Reese, graduate of the
University of Nebraska in 1920 who
was selected as Rhodes scholar the
same year, has once more carried the
names of his colleges to victory.
During the past summer Oxford
University sent a track team to
Africa to compete with the college
athletes of that country. Alfred
Reese and a Princeton man were the
only Americans on the team. The
Oxford team competed with the
southern universities at Capetown
and with the northern universities
of Africa at Johannesburg, and in
each meet Oxford was victorious.
Reese represented his university in
the shot put. He won the event in
the first meet with a mark of forty
feet and four inches, and in the sec
ond meet with a mark of 40 feet one
inch.
Alfred Reese represented Oxford
in previous meets when Oxford and
Cambridge sent a team to this coun
try to compete against Yale, Har
vard, and Princeton, and also at the
time when Yale and Harvard sent a
team to England to meet Oxford and
Cambridge.

Tuesday.
Two hundred and fifty girls at
tended the first Big-and-Little-Sister
dinner at Ellen Smith Hall Tuesday
evening. Dancing was the after din
ner entertainment.
The party was given by the senior
advisory board to help get the big
and little sisters together and to
promote better fellowship, and class
spirit among the freshmen, tllen
Smith hall will accomodate two hun
dred and fifty, and the demand for
tickets exceeded this number. The
board feels that the girls have out
grown the hall and therefore are
planning a big outdoor party for all
big and little sisters.
The party last evening proved the
need of more big sisters. Any girl
who will volunteer to be big sister
is asked to sign her name on the
bulletin board .in Ellen Smith halL
At present the files are being re

Suspect Students of Leaving
Tea Room Without Paying Bills
Several years ago a few students
who were making a habit of leaving
Miller and Paine's tea room without
paying their bills were detected and
brought before University author
ities as weU as county officials to
make settlement for their dishonesty.
After severe censur they were
forced to make reparations for the
bills they had failed to pay and were
allowed to remain in school on pro
bation only because it was near the
close of the year.
A similar attempt is being made
this fall by students now on the
campus. " In several cases discovery
cf the identity f these persons has
been made, and steps have been
taken to punish them. Other stu
dents are continuing the practice.
It is impossible under the system
of duplicate order blanks used by

AVERY TRACES
DEVELOPMENT
OF UNIVERSITY
Institution Has Kept Pace
With Trend of Modern Edu
cation, Freshmen Are Told
in Lecture.
FIRST CAMPUS WAS
ONLY ELEVEN ACRES
Athletics Given as Means of
Advertising School; Games
at One Time Included All
Students.
The University of Nebraska has
grown from a school of about 200
pupils into one of nearly 10,000 from
natural causes, and because it has
kept up with the trend of modern
education, Chancellor Avery told
the freshman lecture Etudents of the
Arts and Science college, when giv
ing the first lectures of the year Mon
day and Tuesday.
The law passed by the legislature
making it possible for students in
rural districts to go to high school in
neighboring cities at the expense of
the districts in which they live has
done much to promote education and
give students the desire and oppor
tunity to go on to university, the
chancellor said.
Trace History of Building!
'The topic of his talk was "The
University of Nebraska." He traced
its history from its foundation to the
nresent day, discussing the increase
in the student body, the growth of
student activities, and the acquisition
of more ground.
When the Lincoln was made the
capitol of the state by an act of the
legislature, four square blocks, or
eleven acres, were set aside for a
university campus.
The first building on the campus
was Main or University hall. It was
built before there were any railways
here, and the bricks had to be hauled
from Plattsmouth by team and wag
on, a team covering about eight miles
in a dav.
The foundation was built of sand
stone, a rock formation found in this
vicinity. A year later, when it was
found that the sandstone crumbled
and would have to be replaced, the
legislature would take no action, and
citizens of Lincoln raised sufficient
money to reconstruct the foundation
with limestone blocks.
The chemical laboratory, built in
1885. was originally intended for use
by the state indetermining the values
of various natural resources. It was
one of the few buildings in the
country devoted entirely to chemical
research.
Acquire Farm Campus
The agricultural campus, which
now covers about 320 acres outside
of town, was acquired after the city
campus was started. The city cam
pus now covers about sixty acres,
including the ground recently pur
chased for the new stadium.
The first class was held in about
1870, and there were only three or
four pupils. During the first few
years the students did not, aggregate
more than ten or twelve. Gradually
the number was increased to 200,
and when Chancellor Canfield was in
office was increased to about 1800.
Today there are nearly 10,000 pupils
in the University. .
(Continued on Page 4)
cessfully avoid detection more than
a few tiries. If the original of every
carbon slip held by the waitresses is
not returned to the cashier's desk,
it means that those missing have not
been paid. Waitresses are instructed
to note carefully the appearance of
all patrons with a view to later identi
fication. It is therefore only a
matter of time before discovery is
made.
In both former and present in
stances persons committing such acts
have been amply able to pay their
bills. Apparently the only reason
for their course is that they consider
it clever or smart.
The facts above related have been
given to the Daily Nebraskan in
order that any students engaged in
this practice of extreme dishonesty
at the tea room mentioned, or else
where, may be warned that ultimate
detection is unavoidable.
Pertinent Facts Regarding Stadium
That total subscriptions to the
stadium are $453,428.99.
That paid subscriptions are $133,-
209.47.
That a loan of $300,000 became
necessary in order to convert sta
dium pledges into cash for immedi
ate use.
That these bonds mature serially
over a period of five years with 6
per cent interest payable semi-annually
and are secured by the unpaid
subscriptions, a mortgage on the

ARTICLE BY LATE PROF.
H. K. WOLFE PUBLISHED
Leading Contribution to Jour
nal of Psychology Written
by Former Instructor.
The leading article in the July
American Journal of Psychology is
by the late Dr. H. K. Wolfe,' former
professor of philosophy and psychol
ogy at the University of Nebraska.
The contribution represents many
years of research, and permission
from the author's wife was gained
to publish it because, according to
the introduction, "its additions to the
knowledge in the field of psychol
ogy, especially in the field of judg
ment, seem so great."
C. E. Benson, acting dean of the
school of education at the Univer
sity of Oklahoma, former pupil and
assistant of the late Professor Wolfe,
wrote the short introduction to the
article, "On the Estimation of the
Middle of Lines" in the Journal. The
article is forty-five pages in length,
contains over thirty tables and lists
of figures, summaries of experiments
in judging the middle of lines of
various lengths.
TAKING ROUGH EDGES
OFF FRESHMAN TEAM
Use Zuppke Plays Against
Varsity in Scrimmage
Yesterday.
The freshmen team is busily ab
sorbing Illinois football strategy, and
making use of it against the varsity
in the daily scrimmages. Illinois
plays were used entirely by the
freshmen yesterday in the practice
session.
The raeeed edges in the yearling
squad which were so apparent in the
first sc.-immage with the varsity are
being polished off by freshmen
coaches, Farley Young, Captain
Hagan, and George Racely. The
freshmen are no longer so shy of
sailing in and inflicting damage on
the varsity team, and the scrim
mages grow warmer each day.
The yearlings were drilled hard

JONES DESCRIBES
ENGLISH SCHOOLS
Says Educational System Is
Inferior to That in Use
in America.
That the American system of edu
cation is far superior to the Eng
lish was stated by Will Owen Jones
of the Nebraska State Journal in an
address to the Social Science club
at the Grand Hotel, Tuesday. Mr.
Jones recently returned from Eu
rope. He explained that while taxes in
England are greater than those cov
ering the cost of the grades, high
schools, and universities in America,
yet the cost of an education in Eng
land is prohibitive to all except the
aristocracy.
The training of the higher class
of English boys begins under the su
pervision of a governess at home.
Then he enters Eton and finally Ox
ford. At Oxford they are shut off
from the world, and they enjoy an
intellectual freedom which fits them
to become the brilliant statesmen
for which the British aristocracy is
famous. Never, under any circum
stances do they come into contact
with the common people.
"There is a great crisis in Eng
land today," asserted Mr. Jones, "be
cause such an education is too ex
pensive for the lower classes."
The professional man is unable to
give his son years of training at the
cost of from $2,000 to $2,500 per
year.
"As a result," Mr. Jones contin
ued, "ignorance is predominate
among the lower classes. The Brit
ish laborers are morons."
In Scotland, however, it is differ
ent. Mr. Jones told of a sexton who
had written a book and knew the
history of all the old graves for which
he cared. He pointed out that, al
though Scotland is a very poor coun
try, they have had public schools for
300 years. Their greatness comes
from discipline caused by poverty.
In conclusion, the speaker deplored
the present day tendency of Ameri
cans to criticize the expense and so
called inefficiency of our universi
ties. The cost, is not becoming pro
hibitive, he declared, and devotion to
education is what we need.
"I feel," he said, "that except
prohibition, education is the most
hopeful thing in America."
Expect Registration
at Omaha to Increase
Word has been received from
Dean L S. Cutter that 400 students
have applied to enter the College of
Medicine this fall. A comparison of
this year's enrollment with that of
last year shows a total of 323 ttu-
dents last year and 322 this yar.
However, an increase is expected this
fall as the limit of 90 student set
by Dean Cutter for the freshman
class has not yet been reached.
Miss H. Alice Howell went to Ge
neva Friday where she read "What
Every Woman Knows" before the

Leaders to Instill Nebraska
Spirit in March to Burling
ton Station.
MEET AT ARMORY
TO FORM PARADE
Dawson Urges AH to Be Pres
ent When Team Leaves for
Urbana for First Game of
Season.
All Nebraska students are ex
pected to gather in front of the Ar
mory tomorrow afternoon at 3:30
o'clock and parade to the Burling
ton station where the "Fighting
Cornhuskers" will leave for Ur
bana and the initial contest of the
season. Plans are practically com
plete for the parade and the line of
march will be announced in tomor
row's Nebraskan.
The Innocents Society will be in
direct charge of the parade with the
Corncobs, Nebraska's pep organiza
tion, assisting. Cheer leaders will
be stationed at various places along
the line of march to lead the march
ing students in the cheering. The
University band will be in front of
the Armory at 3:15 o'clock and play
until 3:30 o'clock when the parade
will form and march to the Burling
ton station.
All Corncobs have been requested
to wear the official unform of the
organization and be at the Armory
a little early to assist with the pa
rade. Since this is the first rally of
the year the committee in charge
wants the entire student body to go
to the station and give the football
team the greatest send-off it has ever
experienced.
This is the first year for a long
time that Nebraska has played the
first game of the season on a foreign
field and Head Coach Dawson wants
to have all the students at the sta
tion to let the team know the entire
student body is eagerly awaiting the
outcome of Saturday's contest. The
personnel of the squad and coaches
will be found in another part of the
Nebraskan.
"I want every student there and
I want them to yell their best and
let the team know they are behind
them. I want those cheers ringing
in the ears of the men when they
take the field Saturday against
Coach Zuppke's men. The team
hasn't had a chance this year to be
spurred on by the spirit of the stu
dent body and unless there is a big
turn-out tomorrow it is going to
hurt the team. Every loyal Corn
husker will be there," is the way
Coach Dawson put it to a Nebraskan
representative yesterday.
Freshmen are especiallj requested
to be in line in order that they may
get the spirit of the rally.
