BARBOUR TALKS ON
DOMESTIC ANIMALS
Traces Evolution of Beasts
From Prehistoric Times
To Present
Professor E. II. Barbour of the
geological department gave an illus
trated lecture on ''Domesticated
Animals" before the freshmen lec
ture students of the College of Arts
and Sciences. Monday evening and
Tuesday morning. He traced the
evolution of the various animals from
the first known to man up to the
present time.
Many people have the idea that
the greater portion of the domesti
cated animals originally came from
Asia and other foreign countries but
Professor Barbour declared that they
were first known by the countless
numbers of fossils that have been
found in this state.
Evidence has been found to prove
that huge dinosaurs that grew to be
22 feet in height ai:d 70 feet in
length once roamed the state of
Wyoming. In the course of time,
because these animals were con
stantly combating among themselves,
armored scales were formed on their
bodies, thus protecting them to a
great extent.
Oldest Bird Had Teeth.
A great many fossils of lizards
have been found, showing plainly
the type that existed in those days.
Some found later were hollow-boned
creatures, with snake-like heads and
finger-like claws. The oldest bird
or the forefather of all birds did not
possess a beak, but had teeth, a
snake-like head and three fingers. It
resembled both a lizard and a bird.
Telli of Royal Biton.
The real home of the camel was in
this state, particularly in Sioux
county. The giant beaver, of which
some grew to be 9 feet in length,
thrived in the northwestern part of
Nebraska. One of these is in the
museum at the present time.
Bison once roamed this state in
herds that numbered many thousand.
The famous Royal bison had horns
that measured 12 feet from tip to
tip. The wild hog is another of the
large animals that once lived here.
There are only two specimens of
these in the United States at the
present time, one being in the mus
eum here and one in the Carnegie
museum.
The first horse of which man is
acquainted possessed 5 toes. These
greatly aided him in walking over
the marshes and bad lands of the
country. As he began roaming the
plains however, these were discarded
and now he has only one. That
the horse has come to be one of the
best trained and intelligent animals
that we have today is due to the in
tensive training that he has received
declared Professor Barbour.
Several slides were used showing
the characteristics of primitive man,
how he procured his food, his ability
to draw, and to make out of solid
rock implements for use in life.
Primitive man had great respect for
the dead, burying them with elabor
ate funeral services.

"As I look back on my college days," said the
old grad, "it strikes me there were more men play
ing blind man's buff than all other games combined.
I understand this is still the case.
"Get me straight. It was no child's play. "What
we were groping around for was pretty serious
business nothing less than a career.
"Too many men are in the dark as to what they
will do after graduation. Either they neglect to
specialize in anything, or hastily select a major which
they afterwards regret.
"I know I would be considerably ahead in
business if back at college I had .sat down for a few
hours earnest thought to find out just what work I
liked best and then gone in for it heart and soul.
"Pick the thing that appeals to you, and don't
let them tell you that particular line is overcrowded.
Talk this over with frrndnates vou know. Talk it
over with your professors. Talk it over with the
industrial representatives next Spring. Most of all,
talk it over with yourself.
"The main thing is to get on the right track and
to keep going. There's no fun in being 'It' in the
game of life, with every change in fate ready to push
you off an uncertain course."
