PRESENT MASQUE
AT CONVOCATION
Vestals of the Lamp Hold Ini
tiation at Arts and Sci
ence Gathering.
CENTURIONS ELECT
SEVEN NEW MEMBERS
"Academe," a symbolic masque,
was presented by the Vestals of the
Lamp in the Arts and Science con
vocation Thursday morning. Dr.
Hartley B. Alexander addressed the
meeting: on the meaning of the Arts
and Science college. The new mem
bers of the Vestals were initiated in
the ceremony. Robert F. Craig,
president of the Centurions, presided
and announced the selection of seven
new Centurions, men's society of the
Arts and Science college.
New members of the Vestals, are:
Mary Doremus, Marjorie Stuff, Ruth
Ann Codington, Helen Simpson, and
Corine Anderson. Honorary Vestals
are: Samuel. Avery, Mrs. Can-ie B.
Raymond, and Miss Marjorie Shana
felt The new Centurions are: Vernon
R. Schopp, Audrey Diller, Norman
plate, Henry Eller, John Allison,
Philip O'Hanlon, and Douglass Orr.
Dr. Alexander in speaking of the
place of the Arts college in the Uni
versity and in the world stated that
from this college have come the
groups of men and women who have
been willing to sacrifice in .order to
pass on to posterity the traditions of
the college of civilization. The Arts
college has always stood for the fun
damental elements of our civiliza
tion. The ideals of human nature
were observed in the clear light of
reason by the great minds which have
contributed most to this civilization,
and the results of their thinking have
been incorporated into the subjects
of the arts college, Dr. Alexander
pointed out.
Men and women who enter the
College of Arts and Sciences are
often charged with having the de
sire to become ladies and gentlemen,
remarked the speaker. If this is true,
it is not to be regretted, but the
aim of the college goes far beyond
this end. The training of men and
women to become interested in the
aims and ideals of the best in
our civilization and the training of
their minds to appreciate the intel
ligence of others is a funct'on of the
college. But even this, he stated, is
not the ultimate end of the teaching
of the college of arts and sciences.
The great end is the training of
educated men and women for serv
ice to the stats. Because the great
traditions of civilization rest on the
ubjects of the arts college, this
college is the basis of civilization. It
becomes the task of the members of
this college to keep these traditions
for posterity. History, science, phil
osophy, government, mathematics and
art these are the foundations of
civilization, and, according to the
speaker, these subjects form the
lasis of the arts college.
Dr. Alexander explained the sym
bolic importance of the Vestals and
the' Centurions. The Vestals typify
the Vestals of the Lamp of ancient
Home who kept alive the fires in the
temple Vesta. The Vestals of today
protect and keep alive the fire of
the hearth and the flame of culture.
The Centurions protect the outer
alls and fortifications of 'civilza
u'on as in Rome they guarded the
ity. The lamp of the torch has
lways been the symbol of enlight
enment, stated the speaker. It repre
ents the ancient torch races which
ecalled to the Romans the stealing of
the fires from heaven that man
""ght have freedom and knowledge
Dr- Alexander in concluding said it
jmains for the members of the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences to pene
trate the unexplored regions of
knowledge so that in the end we may
nave a democracy of intelligence and
rule of reason.
The masque "Academe," presented
by the Vestals portrayed the trans
fer from the old to the new of the
ame of learning. The masque was
tten by Dr. H. B. Alexander and
Presented by a cast of the present
"estals.

Bryan to Review
Cadet Regiment
Regimental parade and review in
honor of Governor C. W. Bryan and
his staff will take place at 5 o'clock
this afternoon on the drill field.

last parade, will be the color jiompany
this evening.
This will be the last parade of the
regiment before competitive drill,
May 24, and the winning company
will have the honor of escorting the
colors on that day.
That the cold wave that forced
the abandonment of the first musical
concert in the stadium does not prove
that the idea of using the structure
for such festivals will have to be
cast as:de, is the opinion of the men
who managed the affair in xonnec-t'-on
with the officials of the Minne
apolis Symphony orchestra.

nity by Count of
14 to 10. '
Sigma Phi Epsilon won its way
into the finals of the interfratefnity
baseball tourney by defeating Pi
Kappa Phi, 14 to 10, in a ragged
game at Rock Island park yesterday
afternoon. Errors were numerous
on both sides. The Pi Kap's, who
had been playing a consistent brand
of ball in previous tourney games,
seemed unable to get agoing except
at rare . intervals.
T. Pickett, on the mound for the
Sig Ep's, struck out fourteen' men
and allowed six hits while Edwards
and Domeir, Pi Kap hurlers, were
touched for twelve hits and struck
out six.
The Sig Ep's took a three-run lead
in the first inning but the Pi Kap's
came back with a rally in the third
that put them in the lead, 4 to 3. In
the fifth, Cunningham hit a homer
with two on bases and succeeding hits
and Pi Kap errors ran the score up
to 10 to 4, in favor of the Sig Ep's.
The Pi Kap's found themselves in
the seventh and produced a rally
that nearly brought the game their
way.They got five hits in that in
ning and the Sig Ep's aided them
with a number of pitiful bobbles.
Kendall and Maaske brought in two
runs each with doubles and Lewis
drove in one. The score was 8 to
11 at the end of the inning.
The S'g Ep's put the game on ice
in the ninth when they ran in three
more scores. A last minute Pi Kap
rally netted two runs and the game
ended, 14 to 10.

AGGIE TRACKMEN
ARRIVEFOR MEET
Husker Squad Will Perform
for First Time Today in
Stadium.
STUDENT TICKETS
ADMIT T6 STADIUM
Kansas Aggies track men arrived
in Lincoln last night, fourteen
strong, for the dual track and field
meet this afternoon on stadium field.
The meet starts at 3:00 begining
with the 100-yard dash. . Two places
in each event will count, five for
first and three for second.
Student athletic tickets will admit
to the meet this afternoon. The dual
meet is the first time that the Husk
er track squad will perform on its
home course this year. Every meet
so far has been on foreign tracks.
The red cindered circular track be
tween the stadium stands will be
in first-class shape this afternoon,
and will be one of the fastest in the
Valley. The stands on either side
give a commanding view of the en
tire track, and allow each race to
be seen from start to finish.
Nebraska men who will run in the
meet this afternoon were announced
yesterday by Coach Schulte.
The Husker track men are con
ceded to come out first in the dual
meet after the crushing defeat ad
ministered Kansas last week, and the
defeat of the Aggies at the same
t me at the hands of Missouri. Ne
braska will be especially strong in
the middle distances this afternoon
and in the hurdles. The short sprints
are a toss up. Red Erwin of the Ag
gies has beaten Locke twice this year
and it will be a merry race between
the two this afternoon.
Gardner to Ran Mile.
Captain Mud Gardner 'will run
the mile for the first t.me in a dual
meet this year for Nebraska. He
will be paired up with Lewis and
H.'ggins, the other Nebraska milers.
Zimmerman, two miler, beat the field
in the tryouts for the meet, and will
be the other Nebraska man in this
event with Slemmons, medic student
from Omaha. Zimmerman made the
two miles in 10:16 and was handi
capped partly by lack of stiff compe
tition that day. He will probably
make the two miles in ten minutes or
less this afternoon.
Husker field men are doped to
win most of the events today, with
the exception of the javelin in wh'ch
Nebraska has not yet found a suc
cessor that can match up at all with
Hart'ey, who set up a new Valley
record last year in this event.
The Nebraska lineup that will
start the races tomorrow follows:
. 100-yard dash Locke, Hein,
Bloodgood.
220-yard dash Locke, Hein,
