Guggenheim Memorial Foundation
Offers Chance
A now foundation has been former!
for advanced Btudy abroad by former
unuoa btates Senator and Mrs.
Simon Gufrgrenheim as an enduring
momorlnl to their son, John Simon
Guggenheim, who died April 26,
1922. The fcllowshipa are not re
stricted to any certain study of sci
ence or language. The only requi
site is that the person shall use his
knowledge to the benefit of the nub-
lie rather than for personal use and
gain.
Fellowships will be open to both
men and women either married or
unmarried. Thcro will be no ngo
limit. It is granted, however, that
a person will be old enough to d
cide the, field that ho or sho wishes
to make research in. It is granted
also that those who apply will be
somewhere between the ages of 25
and 35. The fellowships will be
opened to every citizen of the United
States, (nnd in some cases to perma
nent residents but not citizens), Ir
respective of color, race or creed.
A committee of selection, formed
under the laws of the Guggenheim
foundation will make the selection

To the Editor:
In the Sunday Daily Nebraskan
you were guilty of violating the first
rule of journalism accuracy. In
your editorial, "What Might Be," you
said a lot of things that were not so,
particularly, your statement, "It has
been shown that while one of four
non-fraternity n.en who enter the
University graduates; only one of
sixteen fraternity men does."
Now, Mr. Editor, you are all wrong
in that statement, I believe.
Monday morning I went through
the senior section of the 1925 Corn-
husker and made a survey of the
number of fraternity and non-frater
nity men listed there. The results
I found to be:
Fraternity men 149
Non-fraternity men 130
Professional fraternity men 32
Total ..311
Therefore, out of the total num
ber of men listed in the senior sec
tion, practically all of whom have
secured their degrees, nearly 48 per
cent were members of social fraterni
ties and an additional 10 per cent
were members of professional fra
ternities. In listing the members of pro
fessional fraternities, I took only
those members of professional or
ganisations maintaining; houses.
These men therefore are commonly
known as fraternity men. I listed
members of professional fraternities
only when they belonged to no social
fraternity.
It seems, Mr. Editor, that you have
made a very bad error, when you I
made the above statement. Instead
of the majority of graduates at Ne
braska being non-fraternity men the
majority are fraternity men.
Now let us survey the porportion
of freshmen who are fraternity men.
In 1921-22, there were s total of
1237 men listed in the University
catalog as "first year students" in
the various colleges. The number
of fraternities maintaining houses
that year was eight less than the
number maintaining houses now.
There were, I believe, less than
twenty-five fraternities on the cam
pus that year. That means that less
than '400 of those more than 1200
freshmen . were pledged ;to frater
nities; about one-third.
The 311 men who secured their de
grees last year, for the most part,
were of the 1237 who entered in
1921. We will assume that approxi
mately 400 of these 1237 became
members of fraternities. Then the
proportion of non-fraternity men
who entered the University in 1921
and secured their degrees in 1925 is
10.5 per cent; the percentage of so
cial fraternity men, 11.7; and the
percentage of all fraternity men
(members of social and professional
fraternities maintaining houses),
For this one year then, wherein
lies the weakness of my survey, it
being but for one year, the percent
age of graduates who were not fra
ternity men was considerably higher
than the percentage who were not
fraternity men.
These figures, which are but for
one generation of students, indicate
that one in six or seven non-frattr-
nity men secures a degree, while one
Other Opinions
in two er three fraternity men se
cures a degree. The same condition
might be reversed in other years, but
it does not seem reasonable that it
would be as much of an exception as
would appear from your figures in
dicating that one in four non-fraternity
men are graduated, while one

shall show unusual attainment in ad
vanced work, or, exceptional apti
tude for research; or the person must
show and demonstrate unusual ability
in one of the fine arts.
After the first year of the organi
zation of the Memorial foundation it
is hoped to have forty or fifty
fellowships a year. The usual -stipend
will be $2500 for a year. In
some cases, where the work of re
search would require longer the fund
is increased. The Board of Trustees
will also give an amount of money
for a shorter period of time. Appli

ated.
I have an idea where you secured
your information. There is a fra
ternity at Nebraska that has gradu
ated but one of sixteen of its mem
bers during the last few years. But,
you can conclude nothing from that
isolated case. In my own fraternity
seventeen men have secured degrees
in the last two years; an equal num
ber are practically certain of secur
ing degrees in the next two years.
We conclude then that of about sixty
men who have been pledged to my
fraternity in four years, more than
half will secure degrees. But we do
not have to use the case of one fra
ternity to prove the eorror of youij
statement which is based, I feel cer
tain, on a single case.
I'll admit, Mr. Editor, that I have
taken the figures for but one year in
attempting to refute your statement,
and that conclusions drawn from
them may or may not be true. Yet,
it does show a fair amount of ae
curacy, and very definitely indicates
that at Nebraska at least, the pro
portion of fraternity men who se
cure degrees is greater than you hava
indicated. Such a condition may or
may not be true at other institutions,
but we are all interested in the situ
ation at Nebraska, not at Iowa, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Columbia, or some
other school.
I do not intend to argue with you
as to the merits of being a fraternity
man ; nor will I attempt to defend the
fraternity system as it. now stands.
Personally, I believe the system at
Nebraska is commendable, although
like most things, it can be greatly
improved. The scholarship of the
fraternity men can be bettered, yet
the same is true of the nonrfraternity
man.
In conclusion, allow me to take
exception to your last paragraph; in
part: "The fraternity system, as it
exists at Nebraska today, is a fail
ure. It has lost sight of its ideals
and substituted for them cheap cyni
cisms and childish scholarship.
Brotherhood exists chiefly by acci
dent"
The fraternity system at Nebraska
is not a failure. On the contrary,
I believe, it is commendable. Ne
braska fraternities as a rule are not
for the exceedingly wealthy. The
most of the fraternity men at Ne
braska come from families of aver
age means; the vast majority of them
must earn at least a part of their
school expenses; many make every
cent. Brotherhood exists, and not
by accident. . True there are troubles
within each fraternity, but what or
ganization does not have troubles?
The beauty of it is that forty men
can live together four years without
having a battle that would disrupt
their entire organization. You may
be sure, Mr. Editor, that when a
man has lived four years in a frater
nity house, he has learned one mighty
fine lesson. The lesson of how to
get along with men, and how to meet
and size up men.
Your criticism of fraternities at
Nebraska, dealing as it does with
generalities, will receive small at
tention. I agree with you that
sophomore pledging would be a treat
improvement. But that is just your
point of view and mine. As a whole,
fraternities do pretty well. They
keep out of scrapes, they support in
a bodjj worthwhile activities, and
they honestly try to help their fresh
men develop into better men. I be
lieve that if any improvement is to
be instituted, it must come from the
fraternity men themselves. Outside
persons can do little to improve the
situation, mostly because 'non-fraternity
people do not, cannot and will
not understand the problems of the
fraternities.

effort to secure all that is afforded
to him for the taking can leave with
out having acquired some training."
Tho Alumnus pointed out that any
student may secure advise from the
professors at any time.
That the world needs college men
was discussed. "The world needs
them because of what they should
be able to do with the things for
which those decrees stand; But, the
world will not create a place for
these graduates; they must create
their own place; they must "seek and
find" their "own salvation." When
he has his realism and practice and
puts them with his idealism and his
theory he will be able to count him
self well prepared to meet the world
and its problems."
The Nebraska Alumnus reply con
cludes with, "It is very probable that
the author of the letter was greatly
shocked to find how little notice the
world took of him; to find that his
presence in the world at large was
felt Infinitely less than might have
been the case during his student days.
Ho has failed to understand that he
is now starting the great game of
life; that he is in competition with
hundreds of thousands of other
young men and young women who
were graduated from the Universities
and colleges at the same time that
he was. He does not seem to realize
that he must show his work to be
greater than that of the man next
to him before he can forge ahead.
Although he seems to think that the
world should come to him seeking his
services, the truth is that he must go
to the world seeking a position. He
must learn that there is no man so
valuable but that there is another
man who can take his place and can
do his work as well or better than
he."
The New York World replied to
Mr. Maun in an edtiorial, a part of
which read, "Is he an unusual case?
Not at all. Ho is quite right in de
claring that college wasted four years
of his life. College is not for him.
College is not for the thousands like
him who crowd our dormitories every
year and clamor for courses that
deans blush to include in the catalog.
What is to be done about it? Possibly
if the letter of the Nebraska graduate
were sent to prospective freshmen,
the go-getters might stay away and
the academic groves . might retain
some of their old-time serenity."
GIVE CREDITS FOR
ACTIVITIES WORK
Many College Reward Student for
Time Spent in Journalistic
And Debate Work
(The New Student Service)
What is the value of extra-cur
ricular work? Infinite energy goes
into student activity newspapers,
magazines, are published, plays pro
duced, orators sent to' the far corners
of the earth to debate with other
students, all this and more is done by
students in their spare moments.
At some Universities the authori
ties have placed academic valuations
on these spontaneous activities,
others are flirting with the idea.
Ohio State University gives credit
for debate work. Oberlin College
does the same.
Vassar is considering the plan of
giving credit in Dramatic Club work.
The Miscellaney News suggests that
the plan be carried further.
"If directing a play to have credit
in dramatic production, and the
painting of scenery in art, why
should not the political science de
partment give credit to the officers
of the political association, or the
economics department to the presi
dent of L. I. D. Debating would then
count toward a course in English
speech."
A survey conducted by the Old
Gold and Black of Wake Forest Col
lege, N. C, to determine whether
academic credit is given for jour
nalistic work resulted in the discov
ery that the practice is common in
"most colleges and universities."

FAIR COIiHITTBES

A revised list of the Farmers'

the Agricultural Club bulletin board
on the first floor in Agricultural
Hall.
A list of the committees was giv
en out some time ago, but since then
the Farmers' Fair Board has found
it necessary to make some changes.
Some of the committees were com
bined so that the ones who are
through with their work the day bo-
fore tho fair can help others during
the rush of the big crowd on that
day.
The students are taking a great
deal of interest in the work on Far

are busy. A greater educational fair
is the plan of the Farmers' Fair
Board, and more educational exhi
bits will be shown on May 1, than at
any previous fair.
