THE REMARKABLE PRESENT
Mr. Arthur Corning White of the
English Department has jumped, pen
in hand, to the defense of this "Gol
den" age of literature. It was Presi
dent Moody of Mlddlebury whose
"Age of Lawlessness" In the Janu
ary Bookman evoked Mr. White's
reply in the recent issue of the same
periodical. Mr. White has compiled
an able, rational and convincing de
fense. The Dartmouth Instructor attacks
the "pigeonhole" method of many
literary critics. He considers that all
ages have their vulgar and their
sweet novelists, their atheist and
their pantheist poets, their shallow
and their deep essayists. And he
believes that our age, likewise, em
braces all types; and that it is re
plete with writers of excellency.
Mr. White brings out the fine
point that the study of modern writ
ers is the only opportunity students
have for intelligent and individual
critical thinking. The last word on
Congreve was uttered by Macauley,
and John Morley has uttered many
last words himself. But Shaw still
offers the student a possibility for
originality in criticism.
Mr. White occupies himself with
the value of studying present day
writers, and both he and President
Moody tnke it for granted that col
leges have taken up the study. It
was only a month ago that Heywood

LAMMLI REACHES
NEW HIGH RECORD
Completes Firing with Score of
379; Exceeds Old Score
by Four Points.
W. T. Lammli, star Ilusker rifle
man, established another new indoor
gallery record yesterday, when he
completed his four-position firing for
a score of 379, which is four points
higher than the old record made last
week by R, M. Currier. Lammli's rec
ord score was made by consistent
shooting in all four positions. His
lowest score was 92 in the kneeling
and standing positions. He made 93
and 97 prone and sitting
The nearest approach to Lammli's
mark so far is by R. M. Currier, for
mer record holder, who has fired 9C,
95. and 91 sitting, kneeling, and
standing, respectively. This is one
point more than Lammli's mark for
the three positions, and gives Cur
rier a good chance to tie Lammli, or
pass him.
Dale Skinner, still suffering from
rib injuries received in wrestling a
week ago, fired in the four positions
yesterday, making a score of 365. E.
L. Plotts is another who has complet
ed firing. His score for the week is
358. Mark Fair dropped consider
ably in the shooting this week, mak
ing only 94 prone.

Styles of the Day
Styles of the day are always to
be found present on the college
campus. Students desire the very
best in style. In the advertising
columns of The Daily Nebraskan
there is an opportunity for parti
cular merchants to cater to a par
ticular trade. In a like manner
the advertisements give the stu
dents a chance to read the offer
ings of merchants who are espe
cially equipped to serve them.
The Daily Nebraskan in this way
acts as an authentic style baro--meter
and is the door to the satis
faction of student buyers.
