one received.
The first duty is checking up to see that the class
officers are given their usual place in The Cornhusker.
After that each officer should arrange his affairs so
that he could attend any class meeting at any time.
As for other duties maybe the classes at Ne
braska may some day awake from their apathy and
give their officers something to do.

NOT SO ALARMING
am from failimr to recognize the ' university
point of view in not being able to reach a satisfactory
agreement with Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander, the
Omaha World-Herald has discussed one of our prob
lems in a manner which deserves the attention of the
student body. The article is reprinted in "In Other
Columns". ,
The other side of the question was stated in the
Daily Nebraskan last spring when the discussion con-,
cerning the departure of faculty members for other
institutions was at its' heighth. Certain portions of the
editorial were so suitable to the current comment that
they also deserve mention. They follow:
"The University of Nebraska in common with
practically all of the newer western colleges and
universities has always been subject to los3 of good
professors by more attractive offers at the older
and more established universities of the East.
"These more attractive offers have not always
been the mere additional monetary returns of the
new positions. This is a feature probably all too
much over-stressed by people. Probably most of
these professors who have left us did so because
they were called to greater fields of service. Many
of the larger universities and colleges of the East
have an established tradition of drawing the best
minds of the country. It is a distinct honor to a
man in the educational field to be called to those
institutions, and they will often go there regardless,
of the monetary considerations. Western universi
ties and colleges just haven't arrived at the stage
where they can keep and draw professors at the
expense of these older and more recognized seats
of learning.
"We are a good training ground for profes
sors is the way it is often put. This is an exaggera
tion, of course, but it neatly summarizes the sit
uation. "And this situation in itself is nothing to be
alarmed about If Nebraska is coming to be recog
nized as a university which regularly draws good
recruit material for its chairs, and just as regu
larly has them promoted to still greater fields of
service, there will be a great advantage in that
more and more promising instructors will look
with favor on a post at our school. Looked at in
this regard instead of this withdrawal of professors
being a downright calamity, it is partially a
blessing.
"Nebraska has survid Tiany previous treks
of professors. Not only survjjed them, but con
stantly improved the faculty in place of those that
left."
Of course one of the greatest reasons why faculty
members leave Nebraska is on account of low salaries
and lack of equipment as compared with other schools.
And it will remain such until the state of Nebraska
is able to spend more money on high education.
Can the University of Nebraska, then, justly be
accused of sacrificing scholarship, idealism, when it at
tempts to remedy the present situation?
Pershing Rifles notice in yesterday's Nebraskan
says that "all members are expected to come." They
have higher expectations than most campus organizations.
A LOSS TO NEBRASKA
Announcement was made Saturday by the board
of regents of the University of Nebraska that the res
ignation of Dr. Hartley Burr Alexander, head of the
department of philosophy, now on leave of absence, haa
been tendered and accepted.
This is news distressing and depressing. Dr. Alex-
..Asst. Business Mn ander, a Nebraskan born and bred, is the most distin-
.Circulation Manager . ... j jitv j
. ...circulation Manager guished scholar our state has produced. He has served
as president of the American Philosophical association.
He has been accorded the high honor of an invitation
to deliver a course of lectures before the Paris Sor
bonne. He is a student and writer of recognized stand
ing not alone in philosophy but in metaphysics, aesthe
tics, anthropology, philology, education, mythology and
other fields. His poetry and masques have won interna
tional recognition. His idealism is as fine and pure as
his learning is profound and extensive. A3 an educator
for 20 years in the University of Nebraska, from which
he won his first degree, he has been an inspiration to
its students, as exampler of all that is cleanest and
best in university and civic life. He has served the state
courageously and unselfishly outside as well as inside
the university walls. He has striven for the making of
a better university, a better state, at the same time
that, by his presence as one of us, he has earned us
honor and renown abroad. He is the sort of man it
hurts to lose; the sort the university could least afford
to lose.
And, as his friends know, Hartley Alexander was
reluctant to leave Nebraska. His heart and hopes and
loyalty were with 11s. Neither higher place nor richer
emolument could have torn him away from his post.
He went, at long last, in deep discouragement over the
future of the school and the opportunity to be of real
service in it and to it. His ambition, his dream, was for
a University of Nebraska that would be a seat of
scholarship, a font of inspiration, a great and true and
free university, self-governing, liberal, courageous, that
would invite and stimulate and reward the open minds
and cultural ambitions of eager students.
It came, finally, to appear a futile and hopeless
ambition, and so Hartley Alexander, with poignant
regret, surrendered it. His resignation followed. It is
not the only one, though it is the most notable, that
has been somewhat similarly compelled. Others of the
ablest members of the faculty, in alarming numbers,
have done in recent years what he now has done
sought freer and more promising fields for scholarly
and educational service.
If Nebraska people, and university students and
alumni, wonder why such a condition exists, let them
ponder another announcement made by the university
board of regents. It fs that Dean Burnett, of the agri
cultural college, acting chancellor, has been elected
chancellor to serve until June 30, 1929. Why? Because
a legislative session is but a short distance away, and
there might be danger in swapping horses until the
next biennial appropriation is determined!
Scholarship? Leadership? Idealism? Inspiration?
No. "Appropriations" is the magic word.
In the light of this announcement and what it
suggests it is not so difficult to understand the Alex
ander loss. It is a loss for which neither larger appro
priations nor a victory over Army next fall can begin
to compensate. Omaha World-Herald.

THE CHEAT
After discoursing at length on the merits of honor
systems, and other contrivances for manufacturing
honesty, the Oregon Daily Emerald concludes:
Some day, perhaps, a genius will come forward
with a plan that will put a stop to all cribbing. For the
present, or at least as long as grades are what the av
erage student strives to . attain, it seems that such a
plan will have to be a scheme which will guarantee
the student's learning enough that he will no longer
feel the necessity to cheat. Intercollegiate Press.

The Husker 440-yeard quartet will
run up against some strong competi

at the K. C. A. C. meet than the Hus

teams are also of fast calibre.
Snyder and Easter are working
hard on the dashes. As this duo can
not be judged by their performances
in the K. C. A. C. meet because
they were not given a real opportun
ity, little can be forecast for them in
the Valley indoor games.
The members of the Cornhusker
team that will go to Des Moines will
be announced Wednesday or Thurs

not limited to any one period of
time.
Thn riresent exhibition offers a
wide variety of works Of both periods
and it provides proof that both per
iods contain beauty.
"Reflections," by Macena is mod
ern, but with reserve. It possesses
a wonderful portrayal of velvet and
has the charm of simplicity. The
reflection of the woman in the mir
ror seems to detract from the picture
rather than add to its attractive
ness.
"Old Ravensburg" shows a master
ful handling of sunshine. There is a
gay, happy lightness about the pic
ture but it is substantial.
"Spring Flowers," by Clara Walsh
Leland, a Lincoln artjist, contains
some of the most beautiful coloring
of any of the paintings.
"The Spirit of the Ozarks," by
Oscar E. Thalinger, is one of the
most restful pictures of the exhibit.
'Cloud Frolic' It Good
Modern dexterity and skill in the
use of light and sunshine are shown
to a good advantage in a .number of
the painttings. "Looking Through,"
by Rudolph F. Ingerle, "Melting
Show," by James Scott, and "Cloud
Frolic," by James Toppiing are out
standing examples in this respect.
These three pictures are among the
favorites of gallery visitors, and Mr.
Topping seems to have attained per
fection in the clouds in his picture.
"Shadowed Aspens," by John Cot
ton is considered a marvel in all re
spects, it has beautiful coloring
there is a masterful handling of light,
the workmanship is perfect, and the
subjected depicted has an appeal for
everyone.
"The Wreck," by John Nobel is
not a strikiing picture, many people
scarcely notice it, but in Mr. Nobel's
painting of a sun shining through the
fog he has done a piece of work as
great as any of the other paintings.
This picture must be real art for it
grows in beauty every times you view
it, which is said to be the real test
of real art.
A horrible title and a still more
horrible frame are quite a handicap
to the portrait "Amelia Chiarina
Castaldo", by Paul Trebilcock, but
this picture is one of the most care
fully worked and one of the most de
tailed paintings in the exhibit. One
rioes not have to ftand a block away
to make something out of this pic
ture, it is a picture so well done that
one can stand within a few i-nohes
of it and still marvel .as its beauty,
ore almost expects 'the beautiful lady
to brepihel
The exhibition will be open until
March 17, and as it is open every day
there has been a continual stream of
visitors viewing the paintings since
it opened Feb. 15. University stu
dents are admitted to the galleries
free of charge.
Survey conclusions show that the
performance of a person in college
can be accurately predicted from his
