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

KTduates to establish their work in

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.
