Presidents of Land Grant Col
leges Decide for Military
Training
JEWETT RECEIVES REPORT
The qeustion of military training
in mna urant Colleges which was
a burning topic at the University
of Missouri last full, and which
bobs up periodically in other R. O.
T. C. schools and colleges, was
considered nt the recent meeting
oi i residents or l-nnd Grant Colleges
held in Chicago Inst November, and
a report, decidedly in favor of the
system, together with strong reco
niendations for its extension and
improvement, was adopted and was
transmitted to the war department.
A copy of the report was received
this week by Commandant Jewett.
Extracts are quoted below:
"The Association of Land Grant
Colleges stands squarely and strong
ly by the official military policy
of the nation as embodied in the
National Defence Act. We believe
that that Act provides for a reas
onable, democratic, and efficient
system of national defence suitable
for a nation which has no designs
of aggression, but which is resolved
to maintain itself in security with
the least possible disturbance of the
industrial employment of its citi
zens. "We recognize the important
function of the Land Grant Colleges
in making- the provisions of the Na
tional Defence Act effective. The
keystone of that act is the constant
maintenance of an adequate supply
of reserve officers. Our institu
tions are the largest source of sup
ply of reserve officers, and the most
economical means of supplying
them. Better officer material does
not exist than the student body of
these colleges. They are prepared
for their reserve commissions with
no interruptions to their civic em
ployments and gain rather than loss
to their educational development.
Military education is training in or
ganization, in leadership, and in
command, which qualities are of ut
most value in colege youth.
"Because of their conviction of
the eduational value of military
education as now organized and
conducted by the War department
in the Land Grant Colleges, and
from our sense of the patriotic duty
of institutions founded by act of
the national government and main
tained by the public funds to bear
their part in the security of the na
tion, we desire no release from the
contract with the government which
we have observed faithfally for
more than fifty years to include
military science and tactics as a
required element in our curricula.
"We desire military instruction in
these institutions more efficient,
rather than less so; to make the ad
vanced courses more attractive to
larger numbers; and to relate ur
activities to the plans of defence
in such a manner that each branch
'of the service may be provided with
its full compliment of reserve effi-
i
leers.
"Relying upon the good faith of
!the government and upon their con
tract with the nation, which has been
renewed and strengthened by leg-
jislation enacted more than a half
century ago they have come to de
pend upon their military department
'for important elements In a sound
land practical educational for the
j American citizenship. In a period
lof marked advance in every other
j feature of their enterprise, techni
cal, scientific, and cultural, they are
! unwilling to take a backward step
!in potential protection of the na
j tion for whose safety and honor
their whole effort is directed.

Make Appeal To Preserve Ancient
Gigantic Husker Cottonwood Tree
"Woodman, spare that tree."
That is the appeal made in behalf
of a historic Cottonwood, a Nebras
ka landmark.
Ajr.iin the etnjjrjrlc between the
rrosMii safety f pjople and the old
historic lundnwks.
The tree in nucalinn stands in the
center of thi P?t;ish highway south
of l.nvcnna, and posvijiy a little to

bridge across the Beaver creek.

this crotch the trung measures

Cass states in "Nebraska History
and Record of Pioneer Days," that
he found two laboring men working
under the directions of a local
county supervisor, sawing off the
south trunk of about eighteen or
twenty feet above the ground. He
adds that the north trunk is fair
ly vigorous and with proper care it
could he preserved for many years.
Efforts have been made to remove it
in order to permit a wholly unob

volved or affected." The outlawing
of aggressive war is much to be de
sired and the League of Nations has,
in fact, already declared against ag
gressive war, that is, has outlawed
it, and a committee, appointed by
the League, is at work on the diffi
cult problem of codifying interna
tional law. Why threaten to' aban
don the court, if this difficult prob
lem is not solved in five years? The
court has nothing to do with the mat
ter except in so far as by its daily
work, it is substituting justice and
reason for force in the settlement of
international troubles and, by its
decisions, is creating a growing body
of international law. It seems to
me very unwise to add such a reser
vation as that contained in the "Har
mony Plan" to the Harding-Hughes-Coolidge
proposal.
If the "Harmony Plan" is bad, the
Borah uronosal is worse: it would
keep us out of the court for an in
definite time, that is," until inter
national law has been codified out
lawing: war and the Court given
jurisdiction." It is not the proposi
tion of - a statesman and does not
deserve serious consideration.
The Permanent Court of Interna
tional Justice is the realization of
American ideals and is largely due
to the efforts of a distinguished
American, Elihu Root It is a going
concern, adhered to by all the great
states of the world except, Russia,
Germany and the United States-
Germany will soon join the League
and become a member of court, leav
ing the United Slates outside in
company with Russia. It is high
time that we were taking the action
that befits a great nation.

THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
There is no written history about
the tree, but according to Mr. Cass
it antedated the white settlement of
the region a hundred years or more.
Hon. S. C. Bassett of Gibbon, Ne
brasa pioneer, estimates the ago of
the tree at about 20 years. Exca
vations at various places along the
base of the hills northward from
the tree have uncovered a great
many skulls, bones and other relics
which seems to indicate that a large
Indian population at one time must
have inhabited the region round
about No systematic research has
been carried out but in the grading
of the streets of Ravenna and in the
opening of a gravel pit east of the
Mown, specimens of varied type have
been found. Sol ic, Mr. Cass says,
are now in the Smith colection in
the Museum ot the University.
"This tree was a giant when the
frist white settlers on the Loup
river came there. It had been a
shelter to the emigrants on the
Morman or California trail, many
of whom travelled up the Loup ri
ver crosing to the south side at Ra
venna and joined the old trail on
the Platte south of here. Before
there were any Mormon emigrants
this magnificent cottonwood tree
was a camping ground for the In
dians, historic and pre-historic who
lived upon the Loup," says Mr. A.
E. Sheldon, secretary of the Nebras
ka State Historical Society.
on slight evidence.
Suggests Remedies
In answering the question of what
she believed should be done to aid
in inter-racial relationships, Miss
Derricotte pointed out that Dr.
Booker T. Washington had merely
wanted to educate the colored race
to be good servants but that it was
necessary that they receive education
which would make them good citizens
in all walks of life. She defended
the publications of Dr. Debois, gen
erally considered a radical leader
for Negro rights, pointing out that
his sole policy was to expose all ra
cial antagonisms thus helping to cre
ate thought which might eliminate
them. She also pointed out a move

As she proceeded to a possible so
lution, she pointed out the fact that
a large group of Negroes believed
that amalgamation which has been
going on was not only the inevitable
end but the solution of the problem
and indicated considerable symapthy
vviih that reasoning. Ignoring bio
logical proofs of undesirahility of
mixed races she averred that only
pseudo-scientists had made any
claim to mixing of races being unde
sirable or producing an inferior
race.
Miss Derricotte then pointed out
the opinion of another group that
since Anglo-Saxon world dominance
was due to commercial supremacy
that a solution of inter-racial prob

two races. Still another group she
