NEBRASKA VS. CAMBRIDGE
That arrangements are under way for a debate
between the University of Nebraska and Cambridge
University of England, was announced yesterday by
Prof. H. A. White, who directed Nebraska's debaters
last year.
If the debate is brought here, it will be one of the
most significant events from the scholastic standpoint
taking place on the campus in recent years. Intersec
tional football has become a common occurrence. In
tersectional events on the scholastic side have been
rare, the Oxford and Cambridge debate tours in recent
year's being practically the sole source of extensive
intercollegiate competition along scholastic lines.
Nebraska is well qualified to take its place in the
ranks of the schools which have pitted their wits and
intellectuals against the English team. The "Think
Shop," inaugurated by the late Prof. M. M. Fogg in
1901, and directed by him until his death in the spring
of 1926, was one of the outstanding forensic institu
tions in the country. The "Think-Shop" and the stu
dents who came from it were known from coast to
coast.
Last year Dr. White took over the "Think-Shop"
and took a second significant step in Nebraska's for
ensic activities, the extension of the debating schedule.
It encouraged the participation in intercollegiate de
bates of a relatively large number of students. As a
result, he has available over half a dozen experienced
debaters on whom he ran call for the tryouts for the
Cambridge debate.
An opportunity to hear Cambridge speakers appear
on a forensic platform in Lincoln in itself would be a
significant event. An opportunity to see Nebraska de
baters competing with them is a sight for which old de
baters of the University and others, interested in for
ensics have long looked.
Fully as important as the nature of the contest,
international as it would be, is the choice of questions.
Five questions were submitted by the Cambridge rep
resentatives. Professor White chose one of interest to
every business man in Lincoln, the question of the
morality of modern business ethics. It is a question,
which, if it does not immediately concern the average
student, will affect him as soon as he receives his de
gree. It is a question that can hardly be ignored, sd
vitally is it connected with our present civilization.
It would appear that with a squad of veteran de
baters available, with the opportunity of hearing the
Cambridge University team,,, and with a question of
interest to' both student body, faculty, and business
men, that the chief thing remaining to make the de
bate a success would be to secure an auditorium cap
able of comfortably handling the crowd.
We notice that a new course at Kansas University
consists of harp playing. Evidently the authorities are
preparing for more student suicides.
IN APPRECIATION
The University of Nebraska, together with the
City of Lincoln, today l.iourns the loss of Mrs. Carrie
B. Raymond, who passed away shortly before noon
Monday. Mrsv Raymond was the organizer and director
of the University Chorus, which was formed in 1894,
and since then, she worked ceaselessly toward incul
cating music as a vital force in the University.
She was an organist of repute, and eminent as a
skilled choir leader, when calli d to Lincoln by a city
church. Chancellor Canfield rrevailed upon her to or
ganize a University Chorus in 1894, which inaugur
ated the presentation of "The Messiah", which became
an annual event of prominence.
She was responsible for the start of the musical
convocations, which offered students the opportunity
to listen to, and appreciate the finest in musical com
positions. She refused many chances to carry her tal
ents to more remunerative fields, choosing to remain
in Lincoln.
A statement from Acting Chancellor E. A. Burnett
.best expresses the feeling of those members of the
faculty who had known Mrs. Raymond during her long
period of service to thsi institution.
"The memories which cluster
about the name of Mrs. Carrie B.
Raymond are filled with fragrance
and blessing. In her hands music be
came a subtle vibrant force which
lifted men and women to new
heights of appreciation.
"For thirty-three years she di
rected the University Chorus, giving
many notable renditions of "The
Messiah" and leading oratorios and
cantatas which have brought her
fame in the world of music.
"She had a personal charm and
a unique gift of friendship which en
deared her to all whom she knew.
So we mourn for one whose life was
made richer by giving and whose in
domitable spirit is the inspiration
and guiding force of many who remain."
JUST DECISIONS
A man with administrative or executive duties to
perforin is often eallt-d upon to make decisions that
are hard upon individuals and are very often distaste
ful to the public. In such cases it is difficult to steeT
a straight course with right and duty. The man who
can make a decision, regardless of the individual and
in the face of popular disapproval, is to be commended
The recent vacating of the editorship of the Corn-
husker presented just such a problem. The rules gov
erning eligibility are the same for all branches of ac
tivity, and justly so. To discriminate in favor of a prize
athlete is not only unfair, but cowardly. Further, such
a course might lead to complications with other schools
in the conference. However, it v is not this latter rea
son which prompted the Dean of Student Affairs to
take certain steps which eventually cost Nebraska a
valuable football man. Rather it was the performance
of a painful but necessary duty. Likewise, in a more
recent case of ineligibility. It would have been possible
to overlook the situation and forget the rules. But in
the interest of fairness and justice, such a course was
impossible. Consequently the position of Editor of the
Cornhusker was made vacant.
There is one unfortunate aspect of this case that
should be mentioned. Why wasn't the eligibility of the
staff checked at the time of election? This action would
have prevented such a situation. Mr. Eddy put in sev
eral months of hard work on the Cornhusker after
which he was declared ineligible. He has a real griev
ance there which he refused to make. We congratulate
Mr. Eddy for accepting the situation as it is demon
strating his fitness for the position he occupies in the
campus activities of Nebraska.
There are, and always will be, some who can see
no further than their noses, and will criticize this
policy of the administration. When every student knows
he can be sure of a square deal; if it is an acknowl
edged fact that all men and women are governed by
the same rules and regulations regardless of the indi
vidual then such confidence will result in a finer
spirit of cooperation betwe-tn the student and the au
thorities. It is fine for Nebraska to have men of this caliber
in office. We congratulate them and feel that the stu
dent body is behind them to a man.
Concerning the New Conference
Bess iMb
Tp the Editor:
Continuing this rather lively one-sided discussion
of the transparent uselessness of the junior and under
class honoraries, I am starting another campaign, with
the faint hope that such organisations, if they have
any remote reason for the continuance of their exis
tence, will come boldly to the front and defend them
selves. This special brickbat is directed at the Vikings.
The other day, I was talking to a member of that
respected crew. (To the uninitiated, the Vikings are
the organization of junior men who claim they are the
cream of the third-year men.) Returning to the sub
ject, the said gentleman was evidently anxious to cor
rect any impression that his society was lacking in
proper display of school spirit or progressive inertia.
"What are you going to do this year?" he was
asked.
He smiled broadly, with a glint of victory in his
eyes.
"Do? Well, I know this much, we are going to
swing a couple of good parties!" he retorted.
I admit crushing defeat. The Vikinirs have re
deemed themselves, and I shall be forced to search
lor more fruitful fields in need of investigation. Social
training is the one thing sadly neglected in this Uni
versity, but with the Vikings nobly taking the helm,
such a pitiable condition now existing, shall soon be
crushed out. If they perform their work seriously, I
see no reason for a continuance of any misconceived
idea that this University is only a drab place of dull toil.
So bring on the life and fun. Probably the women
in corresponding honoraries will open up with a fire
of pink teas and. chummy dinners for their members,
and the University will benefit accordingly.
A. F.
On Sunday appeared a statement
of the new six-school conference sit
uation as seen by Dean T. J.-Thomp-son
of the University of Nebraska.
Now appears an outline of the situa
tion by President Bradford Knapp of
Oklahoma A. and M. This statement
is very different from the press re
port? which came from this same in
stitution. As this is from an author
itative source, it probably-accurately
; reflects the sentiment in this institu-
tion.
The statement follows:
The cordial and loyal support of
the press of this and other states,
particularly of the athletic editors of
the leading newspapers of Oklahoma,
is very greatly appreciated by every
one at the A. and M. College. The
almost universal expressions of loyal
support from the citizens of this
state and other states in the Valley
have made us realize that our friends
in Oklahoma and elsewhere are be
hind us and wish us well. We have
had the most cordial, friendly and
earnestly loyal support from the
president of the University of Okla
homa, from its alumni and from
those in charge of its athletics. All
of this we greatly appreciate.
The Oklahoma Agricultural and
Mechanical College does rot want to
say very much about this move until
wa can learn more about it. We
have been earnestly loyal to the Mis
souri Valley conference. We have
enforced every rule. We are a sate
supported instiution governed by a
Board of Regents and our athletic
activities are under strict faculty
supervision. We feel that we have
been loyal and honorarble and con
scientious under all circumstances.
We have never received a share of
the -gate receipts f or any game that
we have played with any member of
the Missouri Valley conference away
from our own ground, beyond the
guarantee given in all such cases to
cover the expenses of the team, ex
cept in the case of the University of
Oklahoma, and hence we haven't
made anything from Valley games
except what we made here in Okla
homa wjth our neighbor or on our
home grounds.
Our students have gone to work
loyally, earnestly and conscientious
ly, on the faith of our membership
in this great association, to build an
adequate stadium. This year we are
just completeing the new steel and
concrete stands, which bring our
seating capacity to 12,000, and the
student body has made plans to in
crease this to 20,000 capacity within
another year. We have gone out of
our way to work with other people
of the county a id state to secure
paved highways into Stillwater, which
will be completed in practically all
cases within the next year, giving
us paved highways connecting us
with a population of over 600,000
people within a radius of about 75
miles of our door.
We have met teams in the Valley
and the record shows that we are by
no means at the bottom of the lits
Notices
To the Editor:
This spectator chap must get a great deal of fun
out of his column of his. It is too absurd for words
to think for a moment that he has any idea of service
driving him onward to such urflagging labors. It must
be fun. For' no human being could write stuff as he
dos and not become disillusioned himself. It is unfor
tunate. Speaking of disillusionment, I wonder if this
Observing Person isn't already disillusioned. Now that
is an idea. Capital 1 Here it is. Gather 'round close and
don't sneeze. He is disillusioned. He must be. His crit
ical attitude is induced by some deep poignant pain
he has suffered. In the Olde Days he would have be
come a Monk or a Pirate. But alack and alas, in this
material era this athletic and butter-and-egg be
nighted day, he perforce musf assume an aloof posi
tion where we poor menials passing beneath his slightly
sneering, not too sneering, gaze, find our thoughts and
actions subjected to his satirical philosophizing.
Singular but I wonder why he bothers at all this
mundane world and jts inarticulately ainin Jnbi
tants excepting the Spectator. Oh, just for his'own
amusement. It is really fine of the Editor to make it
possible lor the Spectator to enjoy the few remaining
years of h.s life. And that is about all his column
good for.

in our athletic accomplishments. We
come within a few hundred students
of having as large an enrollment as
at least some of those who are in
cluded in the six who are retiring.
These things we state not in bitter
ness or in complaint but in order that
the situation may be reasonably and
fairly understood The entire ac
tion came as a tremendous surprise
to us, and we are frank to say that
we cannot quite understand it. We
have no enmity or jealousy toward
any institution in the Missouri Val
ley conference, and will ask nothing
of them except such high minded,
gentlemanly, fair, and sportsmanlike
treatment as they would expect to
require from others toward them
selves. .
We are still hopeful that with ma
ture consideration and with the earn
est support of those in the Missouri
Valley whom we regard as our
friends and whom we know to be
sportsmen of high character, the
Oklahoma A. and M. college may
maintain its athletic relationships
with the six schools with whom it has
been associated so pleasantly during
the past year. We shall await the
issue with a great deal of very deep
concern and on abiding confidence
that justice and fair dealing will ulti
