THE DAILY NEBRASKAN
"Pliny's Natural History Rare
Book in T. J. Fitzpatrick Collection
In 1483, twenty-seven years after
John Gutenburg and" his associates
set into type the famous Gutenbursr
Bible, a book entitled "Pliny's Nat
ural History" was printed In Venice.
This rare edition Is probably the most
valuable single volume among some
20,000 books collected by T. J. Fiti
patrick of the department of botany
of the University of Nebraska." The
largest part of the collection is in
Bessey Hall, on the University cam
pus, and may be consulted upon re
quest. The fact that the volume was
printed in Gutenburg's time it pro
bably its greatest claim to rarity.
However, much of the material found
in its neat pages with wide margins
and hand-colored illustrations, is
still used by modern botanists.
Written about the time of the birth
of Christ by Pliny, the noted Roman
author and statesman, it was pre
served in .manuscript form until the
invention of printing. In several
of .the margins of the book are hand
written Latin notations by some of
its early owners. One note of par
ticular interest marks a formula for
long life with several of the owner's
views on the subject. Later edit
ions of the book were printed in 1559
but it was not translated into Enghsh
until 1601 in London.
Other interesting books are includ
ed in Professor Fitzpatrick's Pre
Linnaen collection, which consists of

aeus, known as the father of modern
botany, wrote his "Principles of Bi
nomial Nomenclature." He origin
ated the practice of substituting two
specific words to identify the plant
in place of the long chain of descrip

fore that time.
A volume by Theophrateus, the
most famous botanist xf antiquity,
fs in the collection. His voluminous
works, written about 200 B. C, were
well preserved and published in Am

fruits and flowers of his time that
have been identified with those ' of
the present, as the modern hazelnut,
which is described in detail.
A French coat of arms which has
been identified with a noted Parisian
book collection, is described on both
sides of the cover of a volume by
Dioscorides. "The Medical Botany
of the First Century A. D." is its
title. Although printed in 1543, it
is still in the original binding, with
clear, white pages and hand-c&lored

supposed to have medicinal and die

With the shift in the campus cen

The north door of Chemistry hall has
been used but little as compared! with
the use given its south door. The
north entrance to Bessey hall, archi
tecturally its main entrance, but now
barely known to students who have
always used the convenient rear en
trance on the south side, will come
fnto prominence when the Coliseum
and Morrill Hall on the north and
east start pouring out their quota of
students. This movement toward
greater use of some of the entrances
will also be helped along by erection
of several fraternity and sorority

PROF. WILLIAMS TO
WELFARE MEETING
University Instructor Making Plant
For Annual Meeting At Fre
mont in October
How far is the average Nebraska
man from the poor-house, and does
he get there, if ever, is one of the
questions state welfare workers will
attempt to answer in round-table dis
cussion at the twenty-sixth annual
conference of Nebraska social work
ers at Fremont, October 3 to 5. Pro
lessor Hattie Plum Williams of the
"University of Nebraska department
of sociology, and president of the
conference, and Miss Anna M. Cam
eron, extension social work instruc
tor, who is also executive secretary
of the conference, are making plans
for the meeting.
Although Nebraska ranks far down
the' list of states in the amount of
social work done, fifty-six of her
counties maintain poor-farms at the
cost of hundreds of thousandss of
dollars to support their dependent
poor, according to Mrs. Williams..
The Nebraska conference is a co
ordination of welfare agencies aim
ed at solving such vexing problems
as juvenile delinquency, maternity
and child welfare, public health, and
poor relief. Judge Lincoln Frost,
'86, is also on the executive commit
tee.
Etchings Are Added
To Gregg Collection
William C. Gregg, '84, Hacken
sack, N. J., is establishing a collec
tion of etcnings and prints in the
School of Fine Arts, which will be
known as the Gregg Collection. Mr.
Gregg was in Europe this spring
buying etchings which he has added
to the collection. He purchased six
important numbers in New York
City which the School of Fine Arts
has received.
Mr. Gregg also donated a very val
uable painting to the University col
lection several years ago.

Turkeys Are Studied
At Ag College Campus
A circular on turkey production in
Nebraska by Professor F. E. Mussehl
of the college of agriculture poultry
department, was recently printed by
the experiment station. It gives the
results of experiments conducted the
past year at the experiment station.
The demand for turkey meat, Profes
sor Mussehl finds, has remained the
same or increased since 189Q, but the
producers had "poor luck". The cause
for some of these failures with pro
posed remedies are discussed in the
circular.

Five- Yard Penalty
Pass is Greatest Change in Rules
Editor's Notei Explanation of
changes in football ule will De
given on thU page from time to time
by Oicar Norling who ia football re
porter for The Daily Nebratkan this
fall.
By Oicar Norling,
The five-yard penalty, which has
been attached to the second incom
plete forward pass in addition to the
loss of down, is the most important
change in the 1926 football rules.
The rule governing the play follows:
"If there already has been one or
more incomplete passes in the series
of four downs in which the pass oc
curs; the side which made the pass
shall put the ball in play five yards
back of the spot of the preceeding
down and the play shall count as a
down. The point to be gained shall
remain the same."
Thus one forward pass may be in
complete in any series of downs
without the five-yard penalty, but
the loss of one down will be inflicted
as usual. If such an incompleted for
ward pass is made on the fourth

for Incomplete
down, the ball would go to the op
ponents at the spot of the preceeding
down as in former years.
The new penalty will tend to dis
courage wild passing of the ball in
the early stages of the game. Many
coaches believe that punting will, to
a great extent, take the place of pass
ing during the first half. The new
rule will not discourage -forward
passing by teams which are behind
and need points to win or tie in the
closing minutes of the game. A five
yard penalty is a trivial matter under
such conditions.
Ardent believers in the use of (he
f orwaFd pass claim that the new rule
was brought about by those who
have been unsuccessful with the pass
and wish to return to the old eastern
style of play. While many coaches
are placing stress on punting, the
new penalty should not change the
styles of attacks in any great de
gree. The occasional attempted pass
will still be used to drive the second
ary defense deeper into its territory
so that line attacks will gain ground.
