COLLEGE AND THE MOB MIND.
The growing number of organiza
tions on the campuses of our colleges
should be of concern to anyone who
is interested in the purpose and re
sults of education. These groups,
which include everything from pure
ly social organizations to church
clubs, have increased to such an ex
tent that today it is amost impossi
ble to find a student -who does not
belong to at least one of them. For
some time it has been customary to
A "Hello" week has been an
nounced, and tho week is to begin
Monday. Many students will be dis
mayed at the ominous word "week."
Yet, the effort is to be made by a
number of campus organizations
and it should not be the part of the
students to condemn the project
without at least investigating its possibilities.
The growth of the large northern
cities, as they have become manufac
turing centers, has gradually killed
the custom of speakhng to everyone
on the street In the present-day
city there are so many possibilities
of saying "Hello" that a man would
lose his voice after one block of
greetings.
The custom of speaking to every
one on the campus might be a good

the bad points.

al brilliant forward passes and made
most of its gains by the aerial route.
Chamberlain made a number of
long gains with Rutherford and How

a new quarterback, showed ability at
returning punts, and in field general
ship. A contest was inaugurated for the
best new yells before the game with
the Michigan Aggies. "Something
that doesn't sound like a high school
yell" was called for.
The deDartment of forestry was
planning its annual Pow-Wow. Tho
freshmen were to be initiated into
the mysteries of the scientific for

Student Opinion
SAYS NEBRASKA DESERVES
TO LOSE
To the Editor:
As far as the student body is con
cerned Nebraska ought to lose the
game with Oklahoma t.nturoay.
Students who cannot give a fighting
team a better send-off than was giv
en the football team Thursday do
not deserve to have a winning team.
Rumors of a big rally at the
Temple and a parade to the station
were heard about the campus, but
each student must have left it to
his neighbor to be there, for only
a handful of supporters came.
It wouldn't have been much
trouble for those students who did
not have 1 o'clock classes to have
gone to the station and shown the
much. It is in football, however,
more than any place else, that the
unexpected happens.
Let's give them a rousing wel
come when they return and atone
for our actions Thursday.
P. M.
regard their growth as something i team that they were backing them,
that was mildly amusing but rather Perhaps they thought that the Okla
innocuous. It now appears that this j homa game wouldn't amount to
multiplicity of organizations has a
significance which has been over
looked. This new attitude is based on tho
assumption that an organization is
more than a mere group of persons.
It is a group of persons who think
along the same lines and whose atti
tude toward life is much the same.
When such a group is joined by a
man who does not think as the group
does, his mind is either remolded by
the group or he is a cast out. Inde
pendence is not tolerated. When we
regard organizations in this light we
see that their growth has a tremen
dous effect on the life of the Amer
ican people.
From the time that a student en
ters the University and becomes a
member of one of the many organiza
tions he is taught to think, not for
himself, but as that group thinks. He
does not examine questions or weigh
evidence on social and political ques
tions; he accepts the opinion of his
organization. This opinion he may
help form or he may not. Regardless
of that, he acepts it. It must be
right; everyone he knows believes it
and upholds it. The man who dare3
to oppose such an opinion is regard
ed as "queer."
The result is the cultivation of a
group mind that narowly escapes be
ing a mob mind. The college, which
should teach the student to think
as an individual, suceeds merely in
teaching him to think as a unit in
an organization. This type of
thought reaches its acme of cultiva
tion in the senseless "pep" meeting
where each man believes that he is
helping to get "things started right."
He does not know why this yelling
and cheering and self-praise of the
group assembled "starts things
right;" he merely submerges his own
in the group mind and blindly fol
lows a leader who has no clear idea
of what he is trying to do. A di
ploma too often is only a certificate
of excellence in this mob-cheering
and not a certificate of carefully
cultivated habits of thought.
From the college the student goes
into the business or professional
world where he is again confronted
with organizations, professional, civ
ic, and otherwise. They, too, are
composed of men who think in the
same way, believe in the same things,
and refuse to associate with those
who do not subscribe to their opin
ions. Here he is given a post-graduate
course in the work that colleg-5
began. The result is a nation of men
who take their economics from the
popular five-cent weekly, their reli
gion from a newspaper syndicate,
and their patriotism from the profes
sional flag-wavers. H. C.
The letter in the student opinion
column today expresses almost ex
actly the feeling of every student
who attended the "rally" Thursday
noon. Nebraska, so far as the stud
ent body is concerned, deserves to
lose to Oklahoma. The students are
too used to victory hardly one
know what it is to have a consis
tently losing team. On this score,
there is some excuse, but very little.
. Strangely, twenty years ago al
most to a day, the Cornhusker foot
ball squad left for a critical game
at Colorado. A few dozens came
to the station to see them off and
the team lost.
But the sarcasm of one of the
coaches went deeper than he had
thought it would, and more than 600
came to greet the squad on its re
turn, with more spirit than they
would have ordinarily met a winn
ing team.

BURTON FIRES A GUN
For many years the University of
Michigan has been known through
out the nation as a training school
for professors. Men of distinction
have taught here for a period of
years, obtained that early experi
ence which was so essential to their
success, and when they reached that
stage of their development at which
they were a credit to the institution
an offer of more money from some
eastern or far western university
has tempted them away.
Such has been the condition. It
reflects no discredit on the institu
tion for in this time we have attract
ed many scholars of prominence
from other universities and colleges.
The fact remains, however, that in
i this time so many men who in all
probability would have remained in
Ann Arbor had there been sufficient
financial renumeration have gone
elsewhere. Only last year one of
the outstanding figures in the field
of English history was called to
Yale. His acceptance may or may
not have been a matter or a finan
cial offer nevertheless, Michigan
lost a man who added to her repu
tation as a center of learning.
In view of this state of affairs,
the remarks of President Burton be
fore the state convention of Kiwani
ans as he "fired the first gun in a
campaign for the highest type of
educators that money can procure"
are of deep import. If he is as suc
cessful as he has been in obtain
ing money for buildings the Univer
sity of the future can have no ri
val as a center of culture and in
tellectual refinement.
Criticisms have been rampant dur
ing the past five years concerning
administrative policies. It has been
felt that there has been too much
attention paid to buildings, too little
to our intellectual betterment. Whe
ther or not this was just comment,
it will be entirely silenced now if
President Burton is successful in
his attempt to make possible an ade
quate teaching staff.
The increased budget, if obtain
ed, should bring about two things:
an increase in the size and quality
of the staff and a considerably lar
ger salary for the numerous deserv
ing members of the present faculty.
In the movement to better the type
of educators at Michigan, those men
who have given years of service to
the institution under adverse condi
tions must not be forgotten. There
are now professors making a decid
ed contribution to the University life
who are by no meant adequately re
munerated. They mist be consider
ed first, or they will feel that their
services are not apreiiated and de
part to ot'jer fields of activity. The

A 0 to 0 tie was the result of the

Twenty Years Ago
Dr. King, president of Oberlin col
lege, addressed a convocation. His
subject was the true value of a col
lege course and the chapel was filled.
The tendency of college men today
is toward too much specialization,
was his opinion.
An apparently official communica
tion from the freshman class was
published in The Daily Nebraskan. It
derided an article of the preceding
issue which praised the sophomores
and slighted the freshmen as unwor

braskan denied all responsibility lot
the article attacked, relying on a
statement preceding it that the arti
cle was not strictly authentic.
