Miss Barger Visited Here Vera Barger, who visited the cam pus of the University of Nebraska on February 11, 12 and 12, and for the support of whose work in China the Grace Coppock campaign is be ing raised, was graduated from the University of Nebraska with the class of 1911. She went to China as a member of the Y. W. C. A. staff and worked under Miss Coppock fo number of years. Before Miss Coppock's death in 1S21 she had made plans for a Y. W. C. A. Physical Educational Normal School. Such a school was estab lished after her death at Shanghai, under the direction of Miss Vera Bar ker. In 1925 the school, which was a year school, was merged with Singling college at Nanking, and be came the physical education depart ment of that College and also was cnanged to a four year school. Miss Barger was made the head of this department Although she is the director of this dennrtmpnt mnn? f her time is spent in traveling over vnma helping physical education KTduates to establish their work in tte schools, and Y.

University Night, when one of the dramatic students in one of the skit? asked if the students were behind the movement was answered by an enthusiastic response in the affirma nce. The response came from the audience. One student leader seem ed very certain that every one would adhere until the desired ends were attained and prophesied that this movement will mean a change in the social system as far as the transpor tation facilities are concerned. s Rent-a-Ford dealers are reluc tant t admit this, but it is reported that more than one student has been stopped in the vicinity of the rent-a-Ford buildings and has been asked just how the spirit of the students if maintaining itself. This, active backers point out, is a certain indica tion that the companies are becom ing worried as the student cause seems to gather more momentum. and in the semi-finals nosed out the Delta Tau Delta hoo'psters.

The establishment of "The Royal Institution," for the diffuaion of sci entific knowledge, by an American, Benjamin Thompson, later known as Count Rumford, was discussed by Mr. Collins.

This last point should be stressed to com ply with the theme of the book, "The Cornhusker of the Future." Any organizations that have not made out the key to their picture at the campus studio should do so soon, by seeing Mr. Larravee, the photographer. The members of the club are for the most part much more mature than the American student. The dis cussions are literary discussions of great interest to the teacher and the students.

Harvard Engineering School Offers $1000 Scholarship to Arts Students An announcement of a scholarship offered by Harvard University, of fering flOOO as a competitive schol arship award, was received by Dean James yesterday. The award js of fered by the engineering school at Harvard University to obtain men of exceptional ability for courses in the school there. A letter accompanying the an nouncement showed the present ten dency of the larger schools to select for their specialization courses men who have had at least a general Uni versity education with the exclusion of any specialization work. This scholarship has been offered to aid young men of exceptional abil ity who have completed a course in general study in college and wish to engineering, it is tne policy or the liaryard faculty to encourage the young men to graduate from college before entering their school, rather than to extend their engineering pro gram into five or six years for the purpose of including more general studies. A college graduate who is qualified to compete in this scholar ship is usually prepared to take up third year work in either one of the school's four-year programs. Seniors Are Eligible "Any member of the senior class who desires to compete for this schol arship should make a personal appli cation to me in his own handwriting, stating hig plans for the future, and enclosing a complete official record of his college courses through the um 'm be nsuml:i riy April Because of the general discussion of present social life in the Univer sity aroused by the recent agitation against the use of rent-a-Fords, the subject is felt to be of special inter est. Mr. DuTeau, a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon, was one of the leaders in the original campaign against the increase in rent-a-Ford rates. In hig letters published in the Daily Nebraskan he strove to show that the rent-a-Ford question was but one of reflection of the evils of the social system at Nebraska. Tickets for the luncheon are twenty-five cents and are on sale at the Y. M. C. A. office in the Temple and at Ellen Smith Hall. Possibly tickets may be distributed for sale at the various fraternity h. uses, as the subject is considered to be one in which fraternity men particular' will be interested. A lively discussion of student life and student problems is expected to be roused by Mr. DuTeau's talk.
