A GOAL FOR COLLEGES.
When the Association of Amen
can Colleges opened its annual meet
ing in Chicago Friday Dr. James H
Kirkland, chancellor of Vanderbilt
University and president of the asso
ciation, set a definite goal as the
aim of American colleges applica
tion of theory. Dr. Kirkland ex
presses himself clearly:
"We must find a new appeal.
If the social sciences are to con
tinue as the center of our cur
riculum, they must apply in
some way the lessons taught in
our own daily life.
"Economics should encourage
economy. Ethics should result
in more honorable and unselfish
conduct. Political science should
teach a better social control in
colleges as well as in cities. Phi
losophy and sociology should
find some application of their
teachings to the individual life
and the improvement of social
groups.
"There ought to be some way
of trying theory and practice. A
decline in social control and
standards of living is not a cre
ditable development at the very
hour when 've proclaim ascend
ancy of all social study. If the
colleges and universities do not
provide leaders for world tasks,
where else are they to be found?
If we do not uphold an orderly
society, who may be expected to
do so?
"In the midst of an infinite
variety of opinions regarding
college organization and college
work, let us hold fast to one
ideal and to one mission, and
that is the duty to charge our
teaching with moral force, to
build moral fiber, and find glory
in some contribution to the res
toration and elevation of a
troubled world."
Dr. John B. Johnston, dean of the
arts college of the University of
Minnesota, folowed with this state
ment: "The college should show the
public that to grasp the finest
opportunities and obtain the
highest satisfaction in life the
individual must develop, train
and put to work for the general
welfare the particular native
powers he may possess."
It seems, then, that these men, who
have devoted their lives to advancing
the cause of education, believe that
while learning is often sought after
merely for the sake of learning, the
justification for colleges lies in
their purpose to train men and wo
men so that they may the better serve
society.
Although the "intelligentsia" may
scoff at this simple, unselfish doc
trine, it stands as the judgment of
men who have long considered the
question. So, the end, the aim, of
education is service. Now all that
we need is a definition of service.
BRITISH CRITICISM.
II. A. L. Fisher, former British
Minister of Education, has published
a letter explaining his recent criti
cism of American colleges. His letter
as outlined in press dispatches, is
much milder than his first statements
were reported. Mr. Fisher explains
that it is his opinion that the United
States made a mistake in framing it?
university studies too closely on the
German model. His letter is out
lined:
"Mr. Fisher recognizes the ad
mirable scientific and literary
research in American universi
ties. He also declares himself
'profoundly impressed' by the
courage, energy and munificence
with which the extraordinary dif
ficulties of providing schools for
a rapidly increasing population,
heterogeneous in race and lan
guage, are being met.
"His criticism is 'not that the
German system is bad but that
tha German gymnasiums, 'the so
, vial substructure', are required
' tor its success. He welcomes,
therefore, the movement he finds
among American educational
leaders toward a 'reorganization
of their university studies on the
English plan.' ,
"Honor courses, he adds, are
being established in many seats
of learning, and the gap between
average students of low standard
and the remainder's high degree
of specialization is being bridged
but the number of students tak
ing these courses is still not
large."
Mr. Fisher's criticism is evidently
much less dogmatic than it was at
first represented to be. In place ofJ
changing "superficiality he points to
a lack of "Honor courses." This de
fect was freely admitted by American
educators when they were shown re
ports of Mr. Fisher's original state
ments. The College Press
Education and Super-Nationalism.
That education eventually will
prove the ameliorating factor by
which the nations of the world will be
brought to bask in the benefits of
international understanding and
world peace, appears to the self-made
politician as an empty boast. , Yet,
as page upon page slowly is being
added to the volume labeled "The
Earth, a History," more and more
noticeab'e becomes the silent acknow
lodgement that through education
alone is the hope for world harmony
kept alive.
Students from twenty-eight coun
tries, meeting at the annual confer
ence of the European Student Re
lief society at Elmau, Germany,
voiced the determination of the stu
dent to accept the task of achieving
a pacific international liaison. Their
resolutions, in part, declare "that
service to the community and the
world, and not personal gain, should
be the chief motive with which univer
sity study should be undertaken; that
a more comprehensive international
and super-national outlook should be,
as far as possible, free from political
control or influence."
The platform adopted by the repre
sentatives of various European coun
tries and the United States at the
1924 conference is not an exposition
of pacifism. It is a platform for
peace. While pacifism, as generally
construed, applies particularly to the
attitude of the citizen regarding his
obligation to his nation and his na
tion's defense, the stand of the Eur
opean Student Relief delegates ig
nores the petty national point of
view. It rises above the latter to
consider the ideal of international
harmony. In short, it subsidizes
nationalism as conceived at present
to a nationalism, a fraternalism
based on understanding, that is nation-wide
in its scope. The essence
of this idea is expressed very fit
tingly in the word used in one of
the resolutions, "super-national."
While theoretically and political
complexion of the world would re
main unchanged, practically inter
national boundaries would fade into
the background to a sufficient ex
not national amibition, would be the
force governing the actions of states
men. Such a goal is far from achieve
ment, Whether, when attained, the
world peace is more or less a matter
of conjecture, with the element of
human nature entering strongly into
consideration. Yet, the move along
educational channels promises well,
and undoubtedly the end is worth
the effort. Indiana Daily Student.
Ten Years Ago
The Cornhusker basketball team
lost the first three games that it play
ed. In opening games of the season,
the team met Hamline College and
defeat, the score being 20 to 9. On
Friday evening the team lost the sec
ond of the series to the Gophers of
the University of Minnesota by the
score of 22 to 18. In this game Ne
braska made only four free throws
out of nine chances, while Minne
sota scored ten times out of eleven
trials. On Saturday evening Minne
sota again defeated the Nebraska
quintet by the score of 21 to 9.
Doctor Clapp was trying to arouse
an interest among the students in
handball. A board was erected in
the armory for the special use of
students. In describing the gf-me it
was said that "The game is quite sim
ilar to tennis, and is recommended
to those who wish to keep themselves
in good physical condition. It is
much used by wrestlers, prizefighters
and athletes in general."
In the published report of survey
of the University of Wisconsin, the
general sentiment was against com
pulsory drill for students.
Season tickets were being sold to
the Commercial Club dances arrang
ed for. Shadow lights from the Oli
ver Theater were secured to give
shadow effects while dancing. Vaude
ville stunts were also planned.
Twenty Years Ago
A debate on th? question, "Re
solved, That the United States should
restrict immigration to persons who
can read and write and who can pay
a capitation tax of twenty-five dol
lars" was held in one of the English
classes.
Thirty men signed, up for the pre
liminary debates from which Ne
braska's interco'leg-iate debating
squad for 1905 was to be chosen.
The number of contestants was con
siderably larger than that of any
previous year and those in charge
felt much encouragement over the
Dutlook for the year.
With the large number of candi
dates it was thought that it would be
necessary to hold two preliminary
debates by which to chose the fifteen
men to comprise the debating squad.
The schedule of basketball games
to be played by the University of Ne
braska basketball team on their
northern trip was completed. Games
were scheduled with the Omaha Y.
M. C. A., Fort Dodge, Iowa, Y. M. C.
A., Sattuck Military Academy at
Fairibault, Minnesota, and the Uni
versity at Minneapolis.
Scats were on sale for the Nebras-
ka-Wesleyan game that was to be
played on the armory floor. That
the Wesleyan team intended to make
a close battle of it was evident and
Wesleyan students even went bo far
as to predict a victory for their team.
The Wesleyan had said "Nebraska is
confident of playing all around us on
their own floor. If they really be
lieve it, they will find a surprise equal
to the one to which Wesleyan re
cently treated them." As further sup
port of their team, the students from
University Place ordered one hun
dred seats reserved and were bring
ing their thirty-piece cadet band to
help cheer their team to victory.
After a number of deceptions had
been practiced in a departmental ex
amination, Chancellor Andrews is
sued a statement regarding this prac
tice. Students found guilty of the
practice were to be dismissed from
the University and if this was not
enough to stop the cheating and ly
ing, the names of the guilty were
also to be published.

This has caused the great
change in the appearance
of men's hair
YOU cannot go into a
classroom, or a club, or a
fraternity house, without no
ticing it
Somehow, college men have
found a way to make the
hair, the most conspicuous
part of the appearance, look
just as they want it to look
at all times. '
It was not always so. e
Before Stacomb was intro
duced, they tried countless
methods to make their hair
lie smoothly and stay that way
from old-fashioned po
mades, which only matted the
hair and made it greasy, to
plain water, which kept it in
place an hour at the most and

then left it drier and more
brittle than ever. Small won
der that they greeted Stacomb
with such instant enthusiasm !
Here at last was son ething
that would make the hair stay
in place without harming it or
making it sticky and unnatural-looking.
Today the great change which
Stacomb has brought about is no
ticed everywhere. Men whose hair
used to be out of place an hour after
being brushed, men whose other
wise correct appearance used to be
spoiled by hair that was hopelessly
unkempt today they keep their
hair constantly in perfect order.
Use Stacomb tomorrow morning
and look your best mil day. A deli
