CHANCELLOR AVERY
The announcement conies that the
Chancellor of the University, Samuel
Avery, is forced to leave his duties
at once because of ill health, and
that he will probably not be able to
return until this summer when his
resignation will bet.cme effective.
This is the appropriate time for us
to write so.n words of appreciat:on
for the Chancellor's work, but the
task is one which w-5 hen'aie to un
dertake. It Boons eo preposterous for
i to even attempt tc do justices to
such n.an .is Chancsllor Avery.
How can we students who hnvc been
here but a few years fully appreciate
the influence Chancellor Avery has
exerted in the past twenty years in
building up this institution?
Samuel Avery ha-: been connected
with the University of Nebraska so
long that the names "Avery" and
"Nebraska" seem almost akin. Sam
uel Avery received two degree.-? from
this University: B. Sc. in 1S92 and
A. M. in 1894. Before comincr to this
University, he obtained his A. B. de
gree from Doane College. After
graduating from Nebraska he went
to Heidelberg where he got his Ph. D.
He was an assistant chemistry
instructor from 1896 to 1899 at the
University of Nebraska and was con
nected with the University of Idaho
from 1899 to 1901 when he returned
to Nebraska. Since that time he has
always been connected with this Uni
versity. At first he was a chemistry
professor and later (from 1905 ti
1908) headed the chemistry depart
ment. In 1908 he was made acting
Chancellor and in 1909 was made
Chancellor which position he has held
until the present time.
In 1925 Chancellor Avery offered
his resignation to the Board of Re
gents to become effective August 31,
1928 Because of his poor health and
by his own request the resignation
will become effective August 31,
1927 instead. After a year's leave of
absence he will return as professor
and chancellor emeritus to write and
do research work in chemistry.
Although be will still be connected
with the University, Chancellor
Avery will probably never again re
sume his duties as chief executive
of the institution. This loss will be
greatly felt by the University as a
whole but it will probably be several
years before we will begin to realize
how much Chancellor Avery has
meant to us.
Chancellor Avery has never been
a colorful figure. With his extreme
modesty, his desire to keep out of
the public eye, and his willingness to
let the other fellow do the loud talk
ing, the public has never known
Chancellor Avery as it has other
men, many of them less prominent
than he in public affairs. But the
Chancellor has been there, all the
time, right on the job, and willing
and ready to do anything and every
thing that he thought would further
the interests of the University of
Nebraska.
He is one of the two or three old
est chancellors or presidents of uni
versities in the country today in
point of years of service. That he is
known and respected over the en
tire country is-evidenced by the fact
that he was recently fleeted presi
dent of the National Association of
State Universities.
One of the Chancellor's finest
qualities has- always been his abso
lute fairness. He has always been
willing to hear both sides of every
question. He always strove to see the
other fellow's viewpoint and espec
ially with the students was he willing
to come half way and more.
We will probably never know how
Tn-Qch Samuel Avery has done for
this University. Due to his quiet way
of working, many things have been
lost to the memory of men in the
years that he has been here. But we
do know that he has been the chief
executive of the University in the
greatest period in its history, the
period in which it has shown the most
remarkable advancement. We know
that he has been one of the greatest
if not the greatest of all factors in
the development of the University. It
is with very great sorrow that we
ee him leave the office and with the
dppeRt sense of appreciation that we
of: .:.r these inadequate words of
scribed the decreasing percentage of
students with delinquent hours the
first three quarters of this semester
as compared to last year. From three
to four per cent less students are
delinquent In hours, according to the
report from the office of the Dean
of Men.
This is the gradual result of the
more stringent scholastic require
ments which were put upon Univer
sity of.Nobraska students last year.
It is a very slow process, but stu
dents with less intentions of study
and more of the well known "getting
by" system are being kept out of
school as well as "weeded out", if
they chanced to try this method un
der the present scholastic rules.
Quite a number of students left
school after the mid-semester reports
were tabulated. More, probably, than
if the old system had been in use.
But does not this raise in the schol
astic standing of the present student
body justify this hardship on a few?
The committee which hear the pro
bation and "down-in-hours" cases
had to be strict in making its de
cisions. Although its policy must be
continued, those with good excuses
are always given consideration.
This time of year there is a great
chance for students to think their
final examinations will pass them
selves. They have forgotten many of
the perils of the two-fifths scholar
ship rule over Christmas vacation.
The rule, however, has not changed
any over the holidays. That more
students will be asked to leave at the
end of the semester, it is safe to pre
dict. There are a few who will heed
no pleas, but this is not addressed
to them.
There are also quite a few students
who are nearer the edge than they
care to admit, and with very little
trouble they could have themselve?
brought before that "judicial body."
With a little extra work now, these
same students could bring their work
back to good standing, and feel that
registration for the second semester
would be a safe proposition. As in
registration, the principle of not
waiting until the last minute applies
here. If you begin on your studies
now as you undoubtedly will just be
fore final examinations, you will not
have to experience that questioning
feeling, which may lead to safety
and perhaps home.

Contests of Judging
Teams Prove Mettle
(Continued from Page One.)
alfalfa, and many other grain and
forage crops. To pass judgment on
these crops along with scores of boys
from other states, she sent a Grain
Judging team (better known as
Judging and Grading and Identifica
tion of Field Crops) to the recent
Chicago International that placed
sixth. The contest was very close, so
close in fact, that had the Nebraska
men gained merely a few more points
here and there they would have been
right up with the top four. When it
is considered that crops from every
section of the country, eastern,
southern and far western, are judged
in this contest, the Nebraska boys
gave a mighty fine account of them
selves. They were unsurpassed when
it came to judging the crops of their
own section.
Nebraska poultry folks will be in
terested to know that the boys who
represented their industry in the
judging contests are continuing to
place Nebraska higher and higher
each succeeding year. This last year
the boys placed eighth in the final
standing.
The Dairy department was repre
sented by two fine teams this last
year. The production judging team
placed ninth and the dairy cattle
judging team placed seventh at the
Waterloo show and high at the Na
tional Dairy show. These records are
of considerable credit to Nebraska
when it is considered that this state
is not, strictly speaking, a dairy
state, and that these two teams had
to compete with teams from states
where dairying is the major industry.
There have been years when Ne
braska has given the teams from our
so-called dairying states a sound
beating. The judging team display
in the dairy building tells the story.
Nebraska is proud of her two dairy
teams; they have always been right
up among the top.
The Livestock judging team placed
a high third at the recent Interna
tional Livestock show. The contest
was so close that only a few points
separated Nebraska and the winner.
Here again is a typically Nebraska
industry represented by the team.
The fact that Nebraska holds a
World's record for high team scoring
and individual scoring indicates that
Nebraska young men know their
livestock well. The livestock judging
teams have always placed high.
Lastly, we have the swine judging
team, the team that won the Peoria
Swine judging contest last fall. Many
of us have forgotten about this con
test, but the Sweeping victory which
these boys earned for the Cornhus
ker state gives convincing evidence
that Nebraska young men know their
hogs, and she can honestly lay claim
to the oft heard assertion that she
raises the best hogs in the world.
She also produces the best hog
judges.
These are the accomplishments of
Nebraska's seven judging teams of
1920. They are a passing show now,
and in their place a new cast were
played on the 1928 teams, but each
member helped to make the judging
record of the 1926 season one of the
best in Nebraska's history. Because
the Nebraska farms are producing
more of such splendid young blood
to represent her on the various
teams, she will continue to bathe in
the pleasant glory of producing
among the best of the country s
teams judging Agriculture's vast
productive resources, and often she
will have the best.
STATUETTE PRIZE
AMES INTRAORALS
Forty-three Teams to Compete for
Silver Trophy Replacing
Orthodox Cups
Ames, Iowa, Jan. 5. Special: A
silver trophy statuette mounted on a
basketball, to be awarded the winner
of the intramural basketball cham
pionship of Iowa State, and a Bilver
basketball player statuette for the
winners of each of the seven intra
mural leagues will be the prizes this
wirier in the "sports for everyone
program" rather than the orthodox
silver cups that have been previously
granted, according to Harry J.
Schmidt, director of intramural ath
letics. The winning of the league
championships and the college cham
pionship in basketball this winter
also adds to the points necessary to
secure the coveted 36-inch silver
loving cup, emblematic of the intra
mural championship of Iowa State,
which is given at the close of the
school year.
Forty-three fraternity basketball
teams have been entered in the intra
mural basketball race. A total of 120
games will be played in the seven
leagues.
At the end of the fall quarter
schedule the Kappa Sigma fraternity
led the intramural loop for the all
sports trophy with a total of 165
points while the Delta Upsilon's are
a close second with 156.5, and the
Phi Delta Theta's third with 137.5.
Other high ranking teams were Sig
ma Pi, Alpha Mu, Sigma Phi Epsilon,
Beta Delta Rho, Adelante, Ames
Club, Alpha Kappa Delta, El Paso
and the Allen Club.

Service
Having covered, in instal
ments 1 to 9, the history of the
Central Cafe and Manager
Harris' policy regarding clean
liness and quality of food, we
can now take up the matter of
service.
The Central is a popular
cafe, run for the convenience
and comfort of busy business
men and women who want good
food at a moderate price; who
neither bolt their food nor dally
long at table. It does not cater
to those who wish to eat a little
and then sit for an hour or two'
smoking and conversing.
Accordingly, all the Central's
equipment and appliances are
designed to give quick and ef
ficient service. And its cooks,
waiters and 'bus boys are select
ed with an eye to this sort of
service.
Mr, Harris believes in em
ploying neat, cleanly, white,
American young men as waiters
and cooks, many of them being
students working their way
through the University. They
must be patient and courteous
with customers, but not servile.
They are not forbidden to ac
cept lips, but they must not
"gold dig' for them.
