UNIVERSITY WEEK
The 'Ten Years Ago Column" con
tained an item a few days ago which
stated "That University students who
took rart in the second r.nnual Uni
versity week reported that the re
ception they met wa everywhere
most enthusiastic and that the exhi
bition in every town was a financial
sucess. It was established as an as
sured feature of university life."
Those students who enjoy be
moaning the present over-supply of
student traditions may be surprised
tn lenrn that one "annual" affair
has ceased to exist. It means that,
if they are logical, they will express
regret that some of the most worthy
have died and some of the most
worthless have persisted.
University week, old-timers tell us
was an occasion on which groups of
the University went out to other
towns in the state to present pro
grams, plays, and entertainments of
various kinds. It served to bring
students into contact with those who
own the University, to give the tax
payers a glimpse of those whom they
are educating, and give all Nebras
kans a better idea of their state's
largest single educational
tion.
It was a tradition which benefit
ted both the students and the citizens
of the state. Its demise may well oc
casion verbal tears. The
much time ai possible enjoying the
pleasures money will buy, and as
littlo time as possible earning the
money that buys suth pleasure.
This is obviously a very mistaken
idea, and it was a pleasant specta
cle to see the instructor hold the
young man up like a bug on the point
of a pin, and jab the pin clear
through him. Colleges are not sup
ported by Nebraska farmers for the
purpose of teaching good-looking
young men how to make a living eas
ier. Faculty members are not de
voting their lives to such a disgust
ing task ns making young persons
parasites on mankind. But some
people eomo here homing that they
will be made into paivsites, and are
disappointed when they find that all
the books, all the professors, and all
the state's money, can't enable them
to live like millionaires without first
producing millions.
Albert V. Atwood in a recent Sat
urday Evening Tost article quoted

REALISM, OR IDEALISM?
To the Editor of The Daily Nebras
kun, Lincoln, Nebraska.
DEAR SIR: Will you forward
this letter as a reply to Mr. Emmet V.
Maun's recent criticism that "the
College of Arts and Sciences does
not fit one for life?" I cannot write
to him directly; his address is un
known to me.
After gradnution and subsequent
failure "to meet the world and its
probfems," Mr. Maun concludes:
Thus, my University (of Nebraska)
has failed me. It taught me ideal
ism, antl 1 needed realism, u laugni
me theory, and I needed practice."
Brother Maun, suppose that you
were born in the heart of idealism,
Greece; that your guardian was an
idealist to the core, as it is worthy
of a Bishop to be so; that you broke
away from the "idealistic fetters"
you naturally were under; that you

THE MOTION!
A General Science Coure
(New Hampshire Daily)
A new course surveying the whole
field of science has been organized
at the University of New Hampshire
by the cooperation of the nine de
partments representing all the nat
ural sciences and mathematics-, and
will be offered to freshmen begin
ning with the winter term. The
aims of the course are to give the
freshmen a unified view of the whole
field of science, showing the inter
relations of the several physical sci
ences, to survey briefly each main
division, and to familiarize students
with scientific methods.
Lectures will be given in astron
omy, physics, chemistry, geology,
agricultural chemistry, botany, zool
ogy, entomology, and mathematics.
These departments, drawn from the
Colleges of Liberal Arts, Technol-
institu-1 ogy, and Agriculture, have been
working on this course for a year
under the chairmanship of Dr. SIo
bin. The University was led to pre-
idea sur- pare the survey of science course be-
, i v. cause of the success of a similar

Glee club's trips and m the frequent
visits which members of the Univer
sity Players make to the smaller
communities throughout the state.
Instead of weeping for the dead, true
friends of the University will en

and all other groups which carry on
with the work.
ANY JUNIORS THERE?
At the beginning of the semester,
the Junior Class started out to do
things right, to show the University
that classes can find something to
meet about if they look long enough,
and that class officers are deserving
of congratulations, thick praise, etc.,
etc., etc.
Unless our memory fails, they held
a secret meeting to insure that no
clogs fall into the machinery. They
talked a lot about a Junior Prom. In
addition to the customary athletic,
debate, party, and other nonsensical
committees, the president appointed
a special committee to do something
about a Junior Prom. It was to
have been held April 16, according
to tentative plans, we believe. If
not on that date, some time near
then.
Well, dear junior, how was the
prom? Unfortunately, the Daily
Nebraskan has received no notice of
it. It is a great loss. It's hard to
get out a newspaper when the class
es don't send in their party news.
How was the attendance? Did some
one sing a special song? And, most
important of all, who served on the
committee in charge?"
In view of the fact that not quite
all of the class attended the meet
ings, someone really should give out
thi information about the prom. Of
course, if the juniors want to give
proms in secret, all well and good
but watch out for the dean!
Perhaps such things shouldn't be
nrinted in the newspapers. But
then, the pictures for the Corn
husker have all been taken now, so
the juniors need not worry, and as
for the other members of the class
they're not in on the t.ret, and
they don't count anyhow.
course in the social sciences. New
Hampshire was one of the first col
leges to prepare and offer several
years ago a course introductory to
the social sciences. The freshman
social science course, organized
through the cooperation of the de
partments of sociology, economics.
education, psychology, history, and
political science, is now recognized
as one of the most fundamental and
helpful courses in the curiculum.

you were lost amidst tno iorcsis oi
worldly cares until you landed not
"on your face," as you complain, but
in a lake surrounded by prison bars,
by poverty and shame and sorrow
There you continued swimming for
half a dozen years, and more to
come; while other realists lacking the
training of idealism that had been
"driven" into your morale, lacking
the stamina and stability to with
stand the test, have drowned long
since. Disillusionment dawned upon
vou then: The three-headed monster
gold and fame and vanity the
highest idol worshipped by all real
ists, who in fact are dreamers, end
ed like a horrible nightmare. But
the three-headed god faith and hope
and charity the soundest altar
crowded by all idealists, who in real
ity are doers, loomed up like an isle
within the lake of your disaster.
Impossible? No! Of all the fore
going illustration, wnicn is too
sketchy on account of want of space,
I am exemplar. Victim? No, I would
rather have you call me student; for
I have learned and profited thereby.
I learn yet always will, no doubt.
I thank my benefactors for having
made my early intellectual sieve and
physical mechanism imbibe the prin
ciples of idealism and not of real
ism, ror realism endures aDout as
long as a Fdsational or penny novel;
whereas idealism lasts like the price
less classics, as long as life itself.
It is idealism that teaches the real
ities of man's existence' the bliss of
growth, the glory of action, and the
plcndor of beauty. It is idealism
that elevates the soul and builds a
moat about that castle-like soul
strong to withstand misfortune.
Hoping that my views, in due time,
may agree with yours, I remain,

THE OLD QUESTION
The ever-present question, "Why
do they come to college?" bobbed up
in a classroom discussion the other
day. A nice little boy who remem
bered what his mama had told him,
said that the reason he came to col
lege was to learn how to do work that
does not require physical exertion.
He rather hinted that such labor was
easier and less strenuous than that
of the man in overalls.
The real reason, which he was
coverinst oyer with nice words, prob
ably was that he came to college to
learn how to get out of work. His
mother didn't want him to toil and
fveat for a living like father. He,

Don't think that a college "sing" is the
only place for close harmony. The elec

Four men put their heads together in

Construction engineers, whose pole lines
stride across country, work hand in hand
with purchasing engineers who look forty

In the factory, engineers and craftsmen
together develop new processes and almost

effect economies.
