OF NEBRASKA, LINCOLN,
CLASS OF '04 TO HAVE
DIRECTION OF ROUNDUP
President Sends Letters to All
Alumni ( Hopes to Make
Reunion Outstanding.
The class that graduated twenty
years ago this year the class cf
1904 is the honor class at the an
nual alumni roundup. The members
of this class hope to make this re
union outstanding for the number
returning, appearance of the parade,
and general enthusiasm during the
four days of the festivities.
To stimulate interest in the round
up and to urge members of the class
to return, Miss E. Ruth Fyrtle, pres
ident of the class of 1904, has sent
letters to all members of that class.
Several replies have been received,
showing great interest in the reunion.
F. T. Vasey, superintendent of
schools at Mason City, la., says in his
letter:
Urge All to Come.
"Twenty years! Tempus fugit!
"Twenty years ago. Can it be true?
How do you look now? What are you
doing? How do you feel? How
powerful Buckner's speeches must be
by this time. How many "Ivy Days"
have you had since that time. Where
are those 170 people. Let's gather
again, 1904.
"The class of 1904 will round up
twenty years in June. We are to
be the honor class. It's our good
time. Come one, come all. Let's
rally 'round Miss Pyrtle's banner.
Will you. be there? Sure. Drive the
car. Bring the family."
H .E. Bradford, principal of the
University School of Agriculture and
professor of agricultural education,
is one of the representatives of the
class on the general roundup com
mittee. In the following words he
urges his classmates to return:
Buckner to Speak.
"I am pleased to learn that Emory
Buckner will be the alumni day ora
tor at the roundup. He is one of the
outstanding graduates of the Uni
versity, and will undoubtedly have a
real message for us. The class of
1904 should make an unusual effort
to attend since this is the twentieth
anniversary of the graduation."
"I am sure we are going to have
a great alumni roundup," writes R.
A. Bickford. "The committee is
planning to have the class very busy
during the entire reunion with two
or three "get togethers" for the class
membership, besides all the usual
alumni doings."
Miss Mary Hamer, of Lincoln, an
active member of the class, writes:
Look Forward to Reunion.
"Twenty years have not cooled the
enthusiasm of the class of 1904. Lin
coln members are looking forward
eagerly to seeing all their classmates
back on the campus. Those who knew
Emory Buckner in college days and
that means all of his contemporar
ies feel pride in welcoming him
back as alumni orator. He is one
of the most distinguished of the
younger members of the New York
bar and is managing member of the

Exhibit Plan of Farmers Fair Midway
A large plan of the activities, side
shows, dance platform, and amuse
ments on the midway of Farmers
fair has been laid out by the agricul
tural engineering department and

tion of booths they must build and
no time is lost in keeping the large
crew at work.
A laree tent. 70 by 110 feet, will
shelter the educational exhibits which
will be shown on the midway Sat
urday. Exhibits from nearly every
department will be shown. In for
mer years the exhibits have been
shown in the various buildings upon
the campus. In order to make them
more accessible to the public, they
will be shown in a separate tent this
year.
Will Exhibit Apple.
Among the exhibits last year was
model farm made by the rural eco
nomics department which drew much
attention of the visitors at the fair
grounds. Another was the one on
values of different foods nd for
mulas for balanced rations and the
results in feeding experiments on
live animals. The apple exhibit of
the horticultural department always
attracts large numbers.

To Have Tent Up FrUJiy.
The Ag campus is beginning to
show evidence of the many plans
that have been formulated within the
past few weeks. The large tent,
wheih covers the large 70 by 110 foot
dance floor, was swung into place
this afternoon, under the direction of
Art Greenwood and Gordon Morgan,
former chautauqua tent-raisers. The
large exhibit tent will go up Thurs
day afternoon. Mr. Greenwood hopes
to hive the campus appear as a
tented colony by Friday noon.
The "Galloping Goose," a bucking
Ford, will be another novelty which
will appear at Farmers fair both in
the parade and in the afternoon when
it wilF be given a chance for exhibi
tion riding. This will undoubtedly
prove a large attraction to the excitement-caters,
but it is doubtful if
visitors will be allowed to attempt to
ride the perilous "iron horse." Should
a challenge be extended to visitors,
the guarantee is mode, that no one
can ride it for more than 100 feet at
fifteen miles 'per hour.

DESCRIBES FIELD OF
MODERN JOURNALISM
Prof. M. M. Fogg Tells Fresh
man of Relation of News
paper to Society.
"The newspaper may be called the
Bible of democracy. Journalism is
a service to society and the gov
ernment, and one should not go into
it for personal gain' Prof. M. M.
Fogg, director of the School of Jour
nalism, told freshman lecture stu
dents of the College of Arts and Sci
ences, Monday evening and Tuesday
morning. "Journalism, Its Relation
to Society and Democracy," was the
subject of his lecture.
"We are all gossips," he said. "We
are all after the news what has
happened. Never as in our day,
here in the United States, has soci
ety been so insistent in its. search
for news.
Should Give New.
"To tell the news, tell the truth,
iand to interpret tne trutn is xne mgn
v. j . i .... mot.;.. v Virt
profession of journalism in a democ
racy today is rendering to society.
The journalist is the historian of yes
terday. More progress has been made
in journalism in the 'last half-century
than has been made in the
eighteen previous centuries."
Development of journalism in
America may be divided into three
periods, he said. The first, the pe
riod of opinion, lasted until about
the middle of the last century. News
papers printed during that time were
filled with personal opinions rather
than news. Party politics ran high.
The period of news broke about
the time of the civil war. People
wanted news from the battlefields
instead of personal opinions.
New Field Is Broadened.
A third period, that of a broaden
ing of news, came about the time
that Joseph Pulitzer bought the New
York World, in the latter part of the
nineteenth century. Previously, news
had been written for the upper strata
of society. Pulitzer wrote for all
classes, and his lead was followed by
such newspaper men as William Ran
dolph Hearst and James Gordon Ben
nett. "The modern newspaper is nothing
less than a miracle when one realizes
that the ' 2 cents paid for it would
probably not buy the paper neces
sary in printing it," Professor Fogg
said. The commercialized side of
the newspaper, advertising, is rerpon
sible for this, he explained.
Ha Three Tendencies.
There are three tendencies in
modern journalism, the speaker said.
They are to commercialize a newspa
