(By Manro Kezer)
In this series of articles we have
j-.,ned the development of west
d .S universities and of the Uni
erB Nebraska in particular. We
we discussed the fundamental aims
ideals of the University, the spir
it" f . See and layalty to the state
with which the University is permea
ted and how this spirit has been
We have examined the general or
wtation of the University and
looked at the functions of the var
. . -j,inicfrative offices whose
ions bui"""" .
.v necessary to keep the Uni.
versity going. Finally, we have dealt
upral of the more important
service departments of the University
noting the variety of service these
departments are giving the state. We
have noted the extent of these srvices
and tried to gain a measure of ap
preciation of the value of these ser
vices to the state.
Hi Unirenity Reached It. Peak?
R is time in this last article to turn
our eyes toward the future of the
University. Has the University of Ne
braska practically reached its peak?
Can we dismiss the problem of Uni
versity education in the belief that
we have attained the desired end? It
is with the belief that the University j
hold many possibilities for develop
ment that we turn to a discussion of
the possible University of Nebraska
cf the future.
The aim of the University has been
to turn out graduates who would aid
in the upbuilding of a better state,
a state better not only materially
but also spiritually, if we may use
the word spiritually to mean all in
tellectual and cultural development.
With such an aim the possibilities of
the University extend in every direc
tion. With such an aim, the Univer
sity may be a constant factor in the
development within the state of a
civilization finer in every respect
Much Depends Upon Professor.
The foundation of the University
must be a spiritual foundation if this
development is to ensue. The success
of the University in attaining this
ideal for the University of the future
must be largely dependent upon re
taining a corps of loyal professors
imbued with the finest instincts for
the development of better Nebras
kans. It is such a nucleus of capable
and inspiring leaders wnich has given
the University of Nebraska its pre
sent position. Personalities of char
acter, ability, and loyalty must be
retained if the University is to wield
its proper influence.
But this alone is not sufficient.
The material needs of the University
must be satisfied. The material con
dition of the University is in a de
plorable state at the present time.
The physical plant is embarrassingly
inadequate to care for the present
enrollment, let alone such increases
as may reasonably be expected. If
the University is to continue in its
proper development, the worst of
these conditions must be remedied.

STUDENTS HAVE
RESPONSIBILITY
Professor Alexander, Speaking
To Forum, Says Students
Are in Key Position
HAVE DUTY TO FUTURE
That students are the most impor
tant part of the University, compe
tent teachers next, and administra
tors the least important was the opin
ion expressed by Dr. Hartley Burr
Alexander, chairman of the philoso
phy department, in his address, "The
Student As a Critic" given at World
Forum yesterday noon at the Grand
Hotel. "Students are in a key-position
for making education better or
worse," he declared, "and should re
alize their responsibility to human
ity." In opening his address, Dr. Alex
ander pointed out that students do
not simply attend a school. "The
school doesn't exist unless the stu
dents participate in it. I have known
students who consciously try to beat
the game by taking "snaps". There
are other students who make an
other sort of game of it, trying out
their own skill against that of the
professors and fellow students. There
is hardly a person here who has not
been guilty in part of one attitude
or the other. As long as you are do
ing either one you are not really
students and as long as we have such
conditions we will not have a real
school."
'Beating; the Game" Felonious
That trying to beat the game is
not illegal but essentially felonious
as it affects the future of education
was the next phase emphasized by
Dr. Alexander. He pointed out that
students are not only cheating them
selves but that they are building up
the public's conception of education.
"The students are in a key position
.for making education better or worse
We have a mission in regard to the
education of humanity in the future.
Realizing this, students would be con
stantly on the alert to pass institu
tions on in better shap than they
were received.
Should Think of Future
Every time you elect a course,
every time you express an opinion,
ovprv time vou try to influence a
student's decision, you help deter
mine the future of education," Pro
fessor Alexander stated. "You must
be conscious not only ot vour own
personal destiny but also" of the whole
future of mankind. If we know we
are inferior to our own responsibil
ities, shouldn't we make every effort
to remedy the situation?
Dr. Alexander then pointed out
that a professor should always be
able to justify the value of his course
to each student and that the student
should be a critic both in selection
of courses and in the seleation of
competent teachers. In closing Pro
fessor Alexander remarked, "Until
students themselves realize they are
part of the University and realize
their responsibilities to tne iuture
wo will never have education in
America."
Alumni Visitors
Scarce on Campus
In Recent Weeks
An exceedingly small number of
alumni have visited their alma mater
during the pact two weeks if the
statement of the Alumni Register
may be accepted as correct. The
Alumni Register is a book kept by
the Alumni Association in which all
visiting alumni are supposed to re
cord their names.
Perhans this scarcity is due to the
lack of sufficient attraction, such as
football games or Homecoming par
ties. Whatever the reason, only one
alumnus, Mr. Richard J. Jackson, '23
of Kansas City, Mo., has entered his
name in the record within this per
iod.

GREEK TOURNEY
WILL COMMENCE
AFTER HOLIDAYS
Inter - Fraternity Basketball
Tournament Will Start
About January 10
NEW SYSTEM TO BE TRIED
Leagues of Eight Teams Will
Play Elimination Rounds.
Winners Play Finals
The inter-fraternity basketball
tournament will start the week fol
lowing Christmas holidays, according
to Herbert Gish, acting director of
athletics. It will probably begin on
Saturday, January 10 an dnot later
than the following Monday.
This year's tourney will be longer
than usual and fairer than it has been
in the past. The teams entered will
be divided into leagues, probably
with eight teams in each. Each league
will play a regular schedule, each
team meeting the other seven once.
Then the winners of the leagues will
meet in a set of elimination games,
the winner of which will be the cham
pion.
Practice Has Began
Fraternities have already started
practice. Many of the fives are rap
idly rounding into shape. The courts
are open in the evenings from 7 to
10 o'clock.
The plans for the tournament
should arouse more interest in the
Greek tourney. More room for the
games and a better court to play on
do away with former difficulties. In
creasing the number of games that
each team may play makes the i esult
a fairer one, as many teams in for
mer tournaments have gone on the
floor with little practice nd team
work, and been defeated by oppon
ents of inferior skill. The chance to
redeem the first defeat is possible un
der the new plan instead of being
eliminated from further competition.
Two Game, at Same Time
It is probable that two games will
be played at once. The Coliseum floor
space is a great advantage over that
in the Armory, where the contests
were held in former years.
The inter-fraternity basketball
tournament will count toward the in
ter-fraternity intramural champion
ship. The winner will get an addition
al hundred points. All others will be
awarded points as follows: Divide one
hundred points by the number of
games the winning team played. This
determines the point value of each
Multiply this point value by
number of games each team won to
obtain number of points each team

CHORUS GIVES
"THE MESSIAH"
Handel's Oratorio Produced
For Thirty-first Time
Wednesday
George Handel's "The Messiah"
was given in convocation Wednes
day morning, for the thirty-first
time in as many years. The univer
sity chorus of more than three hun
dred students, under the direction of
Mrs. Carrie B. Raymond, presented
the Oratorio assisted by the Univer
sity orchestra directed by Professor
W. T. Quick.
The solo paits were sung by ad
vanced students in the School of
Music. They were exceptionally
well taken, bringing out to the full
eft extent the beauty of the produc
tion. Harriet Cruise Kemmer sang
the soprano solos; Sylvia Cole, the
contralto, Edward Ellingson, , the
tenor, and Herman T. Decker, the
bass.
Production Broadcast Over KFAB
The production was broadcast
over radio for the first time. It
was sent from station KFAB by re
mote control from Memorial Hall,
enabling people outside of Lincoln to
hear it who could not attend.
The orchestra was composed of:
Jean Schaefer, first violin; Ernest
Harrison, second violin; William T.
Quick, Viola; Lillian Eiche, Cello;
Mark Pierce, bass; Fleda Graham,
piano: Edith Burlingim Ross, Organ,
and the String Choir of the Univer
sity Orchestra under the driection of
Henry Cox.
The parts of the production and
the songs in each part are as fol
lows:
"Comfort ye my people" "Ev'ry
valley shall be exalted", tenor.
"And the glory of the Lord shall
be reveiled" chorus.

AVERY TALKS ON
VALUE OF R.O.T.O.
Emphasizes Benefits of Mili
tary Training at Reserve
Officers' Dinner
DENOUNCES PACIFICISM
"I shall stand as squarely as I
can for military training during my
career as executive," said Chancel
lor Avery in an address given at the
monthly meeting of the Lancaster
County Reserve Officers' Association
at the Grand Hotel on Wednesday
evening. "It is a moral obligation
which we owe to the nation, and it is
of great educational value to the stu
dent." Chancellor Avery, the only college
president to wear the uniform of his
country during the war, began his
speech with a short history of mili
tary training. "Military training or
iginated during the Civil War, when
the North found itself at a disadvan
tage when righting the trained men
of the South. At the close of the
war, Abraham Lincoln instigated and
signed a bill endowing certain col
leges called land grant colleges, par
ticularly for the purpose of military
training. Later, a commission on de
fense established the R. O. T. C.
in these various colleges, and real'
military training, which enabled men
to undertake the burdens of defense,
was begun. This undoubtedly did
something toward winning the war.
Bound by "Gentleman'. Agreement
'We received $213,000 from the
government for the maintenance of
the university. It is a gentleman's
agreement a compact to return to
the government adequate defense.
We are not under strict legal obli
gation to do this, for Wisconsin, a
land grant school, has made military
training voluntary, with the result
that the department is rapidly disin
tegrating. This seems to be an act of j
bad faith on the part of Wisconsin."
"Moreover, military training, if
voluntary, would greatly deplete the
R. O. T. C. units. This would mean I
that other courses to take its place
would have to be added to the cur
riculum at a large annual expense.
It would be extremely expensive to
let military training die.
"Also, we need cadets for the of
ficers in advanced courses to drill.
Without them the officers would be
inadequately trained in leadership,
and would lack proper experience.
"I have received letters on this
subject from the presidents of nearly
every land grant college in the coun
try. With the exception of four, they
have come out strongly for military
training. They advocate it as an ex
cellent thing for Che student, and a
remnant of much-needed discipline.
"Pacifism has often been connec
ted with religioup enthusiasm. It
has caused the decay of many orien
tal civilizations. Let us have the vir
ile Christianity of the western
world."
In conclusion, the Chancellor said,
"This Prussianistic stuff is silly talk.
We cannot convince those whose
minds are already made up, but we
mav influence open-minded people.
I care little what they say about me,
but I advocate military training that
I may have a clear conscience.
