fellows are,
what a wealth of price-

cut, no middle-semester over which
to burn the midnight oil, no lectures
in which to keep awake. Instead of
a special program there is a certain
amount of knowledge that the stu
dent must learn by the end of the
term. lie provides himself with a
littlo book called" Examination Sta
tutes" which outlines everything that
he must know for his examinations.
He prepares himself with the help
of his 'don,' who is his guide and
friend.

not lessons of history or Latin, but
lessons of life, which enrich the stu
dent tenfold more than dull questions

Thus writes a Wisconsin graduate
now studying at Oxford. He seems
to feel as so many others who know
anything about the English system
have felt, that Oxford and Cam
bridge give a young man an educa
tion a great deal deeper than the
more mechanical, more superficial
American method. The srwiillori
"honor courses" at Swarthmore and
the new scheme being tried out by
our own economics department by
which superior students are being al
lowed to study and research on their
own initiative are evidences that dis
satisfaction with the present modes
on this side of the Atlantic has taken
concrete form.
Likewise in the athletic world, is
the free and easy, less tense, less
spectacular way of the English the
solution now being asked concerning
the future of football At least, it
seems a much less expensive, less
hysterical and more normal method,
THE MAN FROM AMHERST
(The Daily Cardinal)
Dr. Alexander Meiklejohn is one
of the few educators of the present
day who not only believes in aca
demic freedom, but who also accepts
the responsibility that goes with it
He is also one of that few, who not
only have definite convictions in re
gard to teaching, but also the courage
to state those convictions frankly.
Dr. Meiklejohn has two great ob
jectives in education, the cultivation
of proper thinking and the liberty
of the teacher to freely exercise his
function Lehrfreiheit the Germans
call it The teacher must of course
accept the responsibility which such
position entails. In Meiklejohn's
own words:
"And here, I think, one may make
a railing accusation against our own
scholars,, especially in our own coun
try. They have not a lively enough
sense of that for which they are re
sponsible, or, you like, of their
own importance."
Again he says: "One of the great
est dangers of the American college
is that it will be drawn into the com
mon life, that it will conform to that
life, will take the common standards
as its own, rejoicing in its likeness to
other groups of men, rather than in
the necessary difference which every
scholar has from every other man
who it not a scholar."
W isconsin redds men who say
things like that, and who not only say
them, but also believe what they say.
A school should not be a seat of con
servatism, but rather a constant ex
perimentation, keeping the gold, and
rejecting the dross of the findings.
Another statement that was made
by the former president of Amherst,
is, "The only genuine pedagogic sin
I know is dragging our students by
the nose to preconceived conclu
sions." This is hitting an existing
evil on the head, an evil that is too
prevalent in our schools.
At the present time everyone ad
mits that the University of Wiscon
sin needs some kind of rejuvenation.
For years the educators and the leg
islators were "passing the buck" back
and forth over what the cause was,
but no one attempted to repair the
situation. About a year ago an ex
cellent start was made, but why stop
there? One man cannot handle an
institution that is constantly, grow
ing larger and increasing in complex
ity daily. The selection of person
nel for the purpose of developing a
larger policy is the essence of admin
istration. Let us hope that Dr.
Meiklejohn will be a part of the per
sonnel at Wisconsin.
Nebraska Men in Employ of General
Electric Company To Be on Program
Alumni of the various colleges and j night from being In any way sec-
universities represented in the Sche
nectady works of the General Elect
ric Company, at a meeting held In the
Edison club the evening of January
8, determined to repeat the Interna
tional Intercollegiate Smoker pro
gram broadcast last year from WGY.
A very enthusiastic reception was
accorded the first program which was
broadcast last year "by the Edison
Club. More replies were received by
the WGY station regarding this en
tertainment than about any other
program. Letters received recotly
requesting that the smoker program
be broadcast again this year led to
the meeting of the alumni. These
men unanimously voted to repeat the
idea.
While the program last year was
exceptionally well received, a few of
the listeners suggested that the af
fair might be made briefer or divided
between two nights. With this ida
in mind, the event will be broadcast
in two parts on succeeding Saturday
nights. The dates selected are Febru
ary 27 and March 6.
An effort is being made to secure
the representation on the program of
every school which boasts of an al
umnus in the Schenectady Works.
Several colleges with small groups
have already signified their inten
tions of combining with other schools
located near their alma mater.
To prevent the program on either
tional. the colleges participating will
be equally divided between the two
dates, the selection being based upon
an effort to make the programs of
both nights equally food.
Following are the names of the
University of Nebraska men now in
the employ of the General Electric
Company, Schenectady, New York,
who will participate in the Interna
tional Intercollegiate Broadcasting
program from Station WGY:

MANY COLLEGES BAN
CHARLESTON DANCE
(Continued from Page. One.)
at Smith College have discovered.
Because record floor girls in a cer
tain dormitory occasionally studied
the powers that be decreed that no
third floor girls be permitted to
Charleston in their rooms. The event
was duly recorded in the press and
the Smith girls read in the papers
that the rule had passed in the nick
of time in order to save the toppling
building and also many lives.
While in many colleges students
are learning the intricate and highly
individualized steps of the Charles
ton, other coleges hold to the priml
tive grace of the old square dances.
At sophisticated Obclin (where the
Charleston is taught in gym classes)
the Review calls attention to Woos
ter, a neighboring denominational
college, where dancing has until very
recently been prohibited. Here, re
cent social functions have been mark
ed by "Honor your partner," "Re
verse back in the same old track,"
and other "calls" familiar to another
generation than ours.
In hilly Arkansas, Commonwealth
College, a "school of self-maintained,
nnn propaganda education for work
ers," the square dance is valued both
for itself and for its bearing upon
"social life and customs." The Com
monwealth College Fortnightly des
cribes one of their affairs:
"Commonwealth goes along well
with its nominally fundamentalist
neighbors. The old timers show no
disposition to quarrel over knickers,
one-piece bathing suits, or the no
menclature of primates; they are far
enough awayso that they do not ob
ject even to the public speaking class.
Nor do they concern themselves un
duly with the status of dancing in
the kingdom of heaven; indeed Com
monwealth is obliged to limit attend
ance at invitation dances to its near
est neighbors, lest the commons be
crowded beyond capacity.
Saturday evening is sacred to the
dance; twice a month the neighbors
are invited to join in the festivities.
Five traditions of dancing meet on
the floor of the Commonwealth din
ing hall. Students from the cities
bring with them the urban fox trot,
Waltz, one-step, and two-step. Old
fashioned partner dances, such as the
rye waltz and the minuet, still claim
their partisans. Russian steps filter
in from the East side of New York,
and folk dances come by the way of
the German youth movement. But
the indigenious square dances of the
rural south are perhaps most pictur
esque of all.
CERTIFIED SEED
CAMPAIGN IS ON
Agricultural College Promote
Formaldehyde Treatment
For Potatoes

METHOD IS INEXPENSIVE
With the country facing the great
est shortage of potatoes in sixty
years, and the prospects indicating a
shortage of seed potatoes this spring
in Nebraska, the College of Agricul
ture and Extension Service is start
ing a campaign for the treatment of
all uncertified need stock which is
planted in the state this spring. The
supply of certified seed will not begin
to meet the demand, they predict
ind the next best thing to do is to
treat the tubers with a hot formal
dehyde solution or the corrosive sub
limate treatment
E. W. McFarland has been emplay
ed by the Agricultural Extension Ser
vice to give his full time this spring
with seed dealers and others who are
asking for help with the new formal
dehyde method of treating. Mr. Mc-
Farland has had several years of ex-i
penence with college officials who
work with the western potato grovA
ers on certification. He is well known
and well liked among the big grow
ers of western Nebraska, it is said.
The formaldehyde treatment origi
nated in Iowa just recently and is
particularly adapted for treating seed
in carload lots. It will be much more
economical and satisfactory than the
slower corrosive sublimate treatment
for dealers who ship in several car
lots each year and sell them for seed.
The new method requires only
enough equipment to dip the pota
toes into a hot bath of the formalde
hyde solution. The cost of treating
will run from three to eight cents
per bushel, it is estimated.
The treatment will control scab,
black scurf, and partially control
black leg, the three most serious dis
eases of the potatoes that are usually
shipped in from the North each year
for seed.
Everyone will probably want to
plant potatoes this spring because
they are high in price now, the col
lego men think, and only the early
potatoes are likely to bring a good
price next summer when the market
will be flooded soon after new pota
toes are ready to sell. This is an
other reason why growers should be
interested in high yields of the earli
est varieties and at the earliest date
possible. Treatment will help make
strong vines which will produce early
and large potatoes.
