Editor' Note: Thit i the firtt of
a series of article The Daily Nebra
kan will publish in which business
executive discuss the problem faced
by the college graduate in the busi

written for The Nebraska by Hale
Holden, president of the Chicago,
Burlington, and Quincy railroad com
pany. A college course, of itself, cannot
be. expected to endow the graduate
with the knowledge and judgment
needed to guide him in a business
career. The best it can do is to de
velop in him a scientific habit of
mind a capacity of logical process
that will help him in the future to
analyze and solve his problems.
As an immediate result of college
the average student shows little be
yond a general acquaintance with
several subjects and more or less def
inite signs of mental discipline a
miscellaneous collection of tools
which only experience can teach him
to use. If as an undergraduate he
has chosen his vocation and directed
his studies accordingly, so much the
better, but I am speaking of the gen
eral average.
College Provides Basis
What I mean to say is that in the
nature of things the learning grained
at college cannot be profound, but
can only provide a base on which to
erect the main structure of educa
tion. If the individual is to go far
it seems to me that he must not fail
to take thought of the" innumerable
divisions and subdivisions in the oi

BUSINESS DAY IS
FODND SUCCESSFUL
South Dakota Commercial Men Show
Interest in Annual Affair
Of New School '
Vermillion, S. D., May 14. The
impression made on the minds of the
business men of the state by the first
Business Day held recently at the
University of South Dakota by the
newly organized school of business
seems to indicate that the idea of
holding an annual Ftatewide exhibit
and convention of business men from
throughout the state has fulfilled a
definite need, according to Dean E
S. Sparks, of the College of Arts and
Sciences.
"With the lapse of a week or ten
days I still find that occasionally I
get inquiries concerning the Business
Day and much- interest is shown,"
writes a prominent chamber of com.
merce secretary in the state. The
same writer in his letter prophesied
much greater interest in the affair
next year.
Another writer, a prominent busi
ness man of Sioux Falls, has written
the dean expressing his pleasTJrt in
attending the program, and his be
lief that the idea of a Business Day
for the state should be pushed as the
first convention was already doing a
great deal of good in the state. Still
another writer states that "it was a
big undertaking, carried throusrh to
a splendid close."

MRS. A. E, SHELDON
GIVES TALK ON WAR
International Relations Institute
Erds Series of Address
Monday Evening
ilrs. A. E. Sheldon gave the finr.l
address in a series of six promoted
by the Institute of International Re
lations, Monday evening at the First
Chriftian church. The topic of the
talk was "The Cause and Cure of
War."
In her introductory remarks, Mrs.
Sheldon pointed out some of the
ways in which Nebraska has played
a large part in the history of the
country. Nebraska has always been
in the route for transcontinental
travel from the time of the first ex
plorers, to the present air mail
routes. Nebraska was the center of
the dispute regarding slavery.
Is In Strategic Position
The rivalry of the two factions in
Nebraska and Kansas did much to
biing about the final crisis before
the Civil War. Later Nebraska was
a leader, in the agricultural problems
agitation, which has not yet come
to an end.
Nebraska, although it is an inland
territory, has a very good slant on
the international problem. She has
a very diversified population, includ
ing representatives from nearly
every country in Europe. ' The rival
ry and friction between these races
in Nebraska has been negligible.
Mrs. Sheldon pointed out the fact
