There are many great men on the
University faculty and the majority
of their lecture are worth hearing:,
but the library contains the work of
many more and far greater men.
There is something very ridiculous
about a rule enforcing students to lis
ten to good minds, when it is not
accompanied by another bringing
them into contact with greater minds.
Those who make such rules prob
ably say that this condition is the
result of necessity rather than of
choice. This is an unsatisfactory an
swer to the question, but it can at
least be pointed out that there is no
official rule against reading.
resont the intrusion of the self-righteous
Americans with their cargoes
of bibles and bar-bellB.
Why not grant that the Chinese
have some sense of morals and some
intelligence about health and not set
ourselves up as paragons? Why not
let tho heathen be and spend some
time and money uplifti" . (if uplift

One of the best ways to abolish a

U"VERSITY NIGHT
If yo missed University Night,
you failed to see a very encouraging
indication of the present condition
of the University of Nebraska. The
nature of the entertainment and its
reception by the audience was such
as should bring fresh hope to those
who fear that the majority are out of
step.
To be sure, much of the humeri
was the crudest kind of slap-stick
stuff, and some of it was of a type
that might appeal more to a less
thoughful and less cultured group
than to members of a University
community. But there was consider
able real wit interspersed throughout
the program, and several bits of ex
cellent satire and carricature. The
skits contained an abundance of very
clever lines, and some of the acting
was surprisingly good.
The finest thing about it all, how
ever, was the manor in which those
who wore the butts of the jokes ac-!
ccpted the notoriety. Faculty i
members who can join in the laugh
ter at the jibes of their students are
not lacking in sportsmanship. Cam
pus personages who can smile while
undergoing a public lampooning are
likely to be of the right sort. And
there is a healthy spirit in a student
body which can see its weaknesses
exposed in the lime-light of ridicule,
and its organizations derided and
roasted.
College life would not be complete
without some such event as Univer
sity Night. A traditional entertain
ment of this kind provides a much
needed opportunity for releasing the
good-natured jibes that accumulate
during the year and indulging in the
very human pastime of kidding those
who are on other occasions treated
with respect These frivolous skits
and bits of foolishness do much to
promote a better spirit between fac
ulty and students, and among all the
various groups which comprise the
undergraduate body.

The first Sunday afternoon lecture
at the Nebraska museum was given
several weeks earlier than the first
lecture of a similar nature at London
by the British Museum, according to
an item in the English "Daily Mir
ror" which was recently received by
Mr. Collins. An experiment at first,
lectures have become so popular that
a lecture series is now a regular part
oi tne Museum program, ihe mu
seum staff is rather priding itself
that the Nebraska institution is one
of the leaders in new movement of
popularizing museums. A great
number ol visitors come to the mu
seum every Sunday, and many re
quests are being received for talks
on the new Morrill Hall and the fossil
animals of the state. A similar in
creasing interest is evident over the
whole country as well as in Europe,
says Mr. Collins.

On The Air
DEAN SEAVEY
With the resignation of Dean Sea
vey from the faculty of the College
of Law, the University loses one of
the finest constructive workers on
the faculty. A man of agile mind,
"twenty leaps ahead of ordinary
poisons," of wide tolerance, and im
partial judgments, he represents to
those who know him and to his stu
dents an example of fair-minded ex
actness. The students in the College of Law
know him best by his ability to an
alyze a problem to its minutest parts.
He looks beyond mere cluttering
trivialities; his famous "favorite ex
pression" is "What of it?"
m legal educational circles Dean
Seavey is widely known as a student
of the law of torts and of egencv
He is a member of the American Law
institute staff for the investigation
-..c v Buujecis; ana it is large
ly because of increased facilities for
carrying on his work in the Institute
that he is leaving Nebraska.
The humanness of the man him
self, perhaps, even more than his ab
ility as a teacher, makes his depart
ure a regret to his students. He if
as quick to see the joke on himself
as on any one else, and as ready to
laugh at it It wag largely through
his efforts that the law scholarships,
remitting the fees of students who
have proved themselves deserving of
extra consideration, were established.
Neither does he treat students like
grown-up high-school pupils, but
rather like men who have found their
life work, and who should be suffi
ciently interested in it to see that
they get all there is out of it without
inordinate supervision on the port of
the facvnHy.
We're sorry to see you go, Dean
Seavey; but we're sure youll win.
Good luck to you! L. M.
TO the Editor:
The Grace Coppock drive, for the
heathens, is again with us. The
members of the Y. M. C. A. are out
busily collecting cash to send to
China, where it will be expended in
teaching the Chinese flappers the
technique of dumbell swinging.
This campus is constantly in the
throes of some drive. Most of these
are useless, but none is more so than
the annual extortion for the Chinese.
How much these benighted people
appreciate our efforts to save their
health and morals I can only guess,
But I suspect that while they accept
the contributions of the philanthropic
Americans as so much velvet they

Work without Toil
Ten or twelve hours a day toils the coolie. If he
carries all he can, he moves one ton one mile in
one day. For that he receives twenty cents.
Cheap labor! Yet compared with our American
worker, receiving at least twenty-five times as much
for an eight-hour day, the coolie is expensive labor.
In America we move one ton one mile for less than
one cent. The coolie, working by hand, accomplishes
little; while the American, with electricity's aid,
accomplishes much. '
Plenty of electricity and cheap electricity these
are two great advantages which America enjoys
over the rest of the world. While our present gener
ating capacity is 20,600,000 kilowatts, new develop
ments call for 3,000,000 kilowatts more per year.
To college men and women potential leaders will
fall the duty of finding more and still more work
for electricity, with less and still less' toil for our
workers. For the task is but begun!
