fMr to tread" for fear of falling
through the floor, Arabella Mont
mormency got a bid nay, whs
Mkel to a formal evening party.
jUid my dear, that was an event !
For a month prior to the party, Ara
bella dreamed about it. She pic
tured It all: Rodney would arrive to
eirort her about 7:30, because the
party began at 8 o'clock sharp, and
well one Just couldn't uilsa any of
it He would look so lovely Jn his
very correct evening attire! She
could Imagine his ease and arro
gance as he lifted his "swallow
tails" when he sat down on the sofa
with her mother until she should
mine downstairs.
nd as for her her ciowuiuij
glory would be done so that It fell
In soft curls around her face. Her
organdie gown, which actually
showed the heel of her pump would
look bewitching ahe felt sure, and
miv teslerdav she had purchased
some exquisite long, white kid
gloves. At the party, of course
there would be conversation, and
he just must read a review of some
of the new books so that she could
make her escort proud of her. Ana
the dancing oh divine! Slow
rhvtlimlc waltxes played by Ed.
Walt's five-piece orchestra, which
of course contained no such vulgar,
noise-making Instrument as a sax
ophone. Must Mix Dances.
Of course, going with Rodney she
would sufrer no embarrassment of
having to dance all evening with
her eRcort. Dancing more than the
flisi. last, and one other dance with
one'? escort meant only one thing
unpopularity, since it was the es
I cort's duty to have his lady's pro
gram filled before the dancing be
gan. And during the entertainment,
perhaps a violinist would play "The
Swan Song," and just perhaps, Rod
ney would, lost In the beauty of It,
touch his finger tips on hers
wicked, but so nice! At 12 o'clock
Rodney would bring her home, and
she would be so tired, yet happy,
i Bui alas, for Arabella's daughter!
Where before, Arabella had sup
pressed ail her emotions as was the
lady like thing. Tommy. Arabella's
daughter, so-called by her friends,
"believes In self-expression along
Kith the rest of the 6,500 university
tiudeuls. Brrrr! the phone rings:
Benin the conversation," says
Tommy. "That'll be hot about
9:30 you say why so early? Oh,
we'll ride around first yeh, you
Bet. Dye, you old battle-axe.
(Pauept. No, mother, just a formal
that's all. I'll have to have some
new silver slippers mine are all
shot and my drees Is torn. I
caught my foot in It doing the
'Frisco.' I must get down town be
fore the stores close to get those
slippers, and a dress. Bye."
What Causes That
And the modern student says,
"What causes that?" The change
In conditions of now and twenty
years ago, according to Miss Aman
da Heppner, dean of women, from
whom the above facts were ob
tained, were caused by the World
War. Where before there was re
pression of emotions and dignity at
all times, today one finds the oppo
site, Where formerly it was a dis
grace for a girl to dance all eve
ning with her escort unless she
were engaged today, "try and pry
'em apart"
Miss Heppner was, at that time,
an Instructor in the modern langu
age department. Few afternoon
classes were held In those days, be
cause there were so few students.
There were many more professors
and associate professors teaching
then, and as a result of their con
ferences with students the general
scholastic record were higher, ac
cording to Miss Heppner.
But, Miss Heppner does not con
demn the students now, and says
only that where now there are
about 300 organizations on the cam
Pus in comparison to the fifty then,
the older 'generation is seeking
. amusement in clubs, too.

DEAN AMANDA HEPPNER
Courltay of Th Lincoln Journal.
RE
Hinman Narrates Conditions
Surrounding Spanish
American War
"Memories of a certain convoca
tion in the chapel of University
hall in 1898 come rather distinctly
to my mind," muspd Pr. L. E. Hin
man, chairman of the department
of philosophy, when queried con
cerning early days in the life of
the University of Nebraska.
"It was in the spring of the
year, about April I believe, at the
period Just preceding the opening
of the. Spanish-American war.
Word in the form of a bulletin
from Madrid had just come through
that morning, informing us that
Dewey had sailed into Manila har
bor and had there engaged with
the Spanish fleet."
The Spanish report, according to
Dr. Hinman, was worded in such
a way as to leave the impression
that the American forces were
worsted in the attack, and had
been forced, after maneuvering
about all day, to retire behind ship
ping protection at nightfall.
Chapel la Filled
"The chapel, of course," stated
Hinman, "was filled to overflow
ing .with faculty and students. The
program was of a war nature, the
contents of which I no longer, re
call. The remarkable thing uDout
the whole affair, though, was the
subdued, depressed tone of all
those present, a direct reaction to
the news of the morning.
"When the American report
came through, the impression of
the earlier report was at once seen
to carry a misleading tone. The
maneuvers of the American fleet
had consisted of a ferocious bom
bardment of the Spaniards, and
the retirement behind the shipping
at night had been for the purpose
of allowing the burning Spanish
ships to consume themselves en
tirely while the Americans rested
to eat and clean up a bit."
Dr. Hinman also narrated an In
cident which occurred upon the
night of his first arrival in Lin
coln in September, 1896. The "Boy
Orator of the Platte," William Jen
nings Bryan, whs in the midst of
one of his whirlwind campaigns,
and a parade was in progress down
the city streets, attending the
commoner upon his leavetaking for
other points.
Sees Boy Orator
"Bryan," said Dr. Hinman, "was
Jn an open carriage. Just as the
procession reached the point where
I was standing, something fright
ened the horses. They started and
In their fear turned tne vehicle
half around, bringing the candi
date and myself face to face. I
was Impressed with this first sight
of Bryan.
"He was then Just at the height
of his career and possessed of a
glorious physique and manner. His
coal-black hair, penetrating eyes,
and massive shoulders In them
selves carried the impression of a
powerful personality."
Dr. Hinman related the incident
of the false report of Bryan's elec
tion that came out Just after elec
tion day. "I was lecturing," he
stated, "on the history of philos
ophy in the basement of the li
brary building, then Just com
pleted. During the hour music was
heard on the streets, and we dis
covered that the returns coming In
from western slates had been of
such an encouraging nature that
democratic supporters felt assured
of Bryan's election and had formed
a 'victory' parade.
"Many of my students, Including
Otto Meier . and Fred Humphrey,
ardent Bryan men, were in that
parade. Of course, the story next
morning, when the eastern reports
were tabulated, was an entirely
different one, but for the moment
there was a great jubilee."
PALLADIANS WILL
HEAR DR. PFEILER
Present day Germany will be
the subject of a talk to be given

department of Germanic language

AV Larrivee Is
Unsung Hero on
Husker Campus
FoiemoBt among Nebraska's un
sung heroes Is "Al" Larrivee, pho-
fnirinhir mi the ramiillH studio.
For the past six yean Mr. Larrivee
nas maue every luiauuantir mm
h.n isum hBoUuihull team, as well
as the staff of each publication. He
has made them stand still for group
pictures.
Intnrviewerl In his Drlvate office
in the Campus studio, "Al" gave
vent to some strong feelings on the
matter of organizations.
"The Awgwan Btaff picture Is the
toughest to take." expostulated tne
wcllknow photographer. "If that
bunch would- save Its wise tracks
for the magazine Instead of wast
ing them on me it would be better
for both of us." This remark was
made In Mr. Larrlvee's hardest
tones, but his grin removed any
Insult from the statement. Appar
ently his moot difficult tk Is to
act crabby enough to keep his
models quiet.
Man Cause Trouble
"Men seem to require more horse
play than women," stated the bulb
squeezer. "Women, however, al
ways Insist on moving around in
the picture. Anyway they do what
they're told.
"Men take about three times as
long to fix up before a picture than
women. And football players are
the worst of all. They have to
have their hair slicked down Just
right before any grouping can be
done."
Fearing, probably, that the re
porter might quote him erroneously
Mr. Larrivee asked to see the
article ' before It went In the
Nebraskan.
"I won't say anything bad about
you," argued the reporter.
"I know It," came back "Al
"You couldn't."
Mr. Larrivee has shot a lot of
students with his camera since he
arrived at Nebraska. Judging from
the troubles he has with people
moving around and wise-cracking
during the taking, he might like
to shoot some of them with some
thing besides a camera.
"Every time anybody smiles or
moves Just a little It spoils the pic
ture," he explained. "If I played
around with them I never would
get a clear picture. I have to chase
the odd-numbers Into the dressing
rooms to keep them from making
faces at those in the picture. And
even then they insist upon peeking
around the corners and going thru
funny antics to get a laugh from
somebody In the group."
Coed Interrupts Talk
One of the low spots in Mr. Lar
rivee's career is when he gets a
group all arranged and somebody
comes in late; this necessitates a
rearrangement of the entire num
ber. '
While the reporter sat on Mr.
Larrlvee's best desk, and that gen
tleman was leaning comfortably
back in a chair relating some of
his pet troubles, a demure coed en
tered the studio.
"Could you tell me when the
botany seminar picture will be
taken?" she asked.
Mr. Larrivee looked thru his cal
endar, and gave the desired Infor
mation. "Thank you," she reciprocated.
"I haven't been over to Bessey hall
for so long I Just wondered about
It." She walked quietly out.
"I get about fifty calls like that
every day," sighed "Al."
The reporter remarked casually
that perhaps people ought to read
The Dally Nebraskan more thor
oughly. "The 'N' club will be here Fri
day." groaned "Al." For the pro
tection of that good-hearted indi
vidual his statement regarding the
'N' club picture will die in the
memory of the reporter.

First Annual of Any Kind
Appeared in 1884 as
'Sombrero'
HISTORY IS INTERESTING
Publication Receives Present
Title of 'Cornhusker'
In Year 1907
(By Gordon Larson)
The first yearbook of any kind
published by the University was
the Sombrero which was put out by
the Junior class In the spring of
1884. This was small in comparison
to present-day college yearbooks.
This early predecessor of the great
Cornhuskers did not fare so well,
for eight years elapsed before
another yearbook was published.
The next edition of te Sombrero
appeared In 1842. An interesting
feature of this book was a picture
of the staff of the first Sombrero.
Underneath the cut appeared the
fallowing lerend: "The docile don-
key, recently found anchored on the
I third floor Is an honorary memner
'of this board (Sombrero board of
editors). He refused to compromise
himself by appearing in the engrav
ing." It is said that the donkey In
question was a quaint little animal
which the professor of French used
to ride to school.
Third Edition Appears.
Two years elapsed till the third
edition of the Sombrero appeared.
This was in 189Z and rrom mat
date till 1907, publication of the
Sombrero continued uninterrupt
edly. In the Cornhusker office may be
found the rrniv of the Sombrero
! which was published In 1899 by the
class of 190U. mis dook, as au ie
braska yearbooks up Mo 1924, was
about seven by ten inches In size.
An Inspection of this typical col
lege yearbook brings to light sev
eral Interesting differences between
present-day annuals and those of
twenty-five or thirty years ago.
Unlike Present Books.
I'ha nrmnlni and closing sections
'of the book were filled with adver
tisements. Even the insldes of the
covers carried "ads" and none of
the expensive colored engraving
that characterizes the college an
nual of the day. Old English type
was used In all the headings
throughout the book.
The Junior and senior sections of
the book resemble very much the
average high school annual of the
small town. Pretty sayings, to
gether with nicknames, appeared
under the pictures of upperclass
men. Class histories, prophecies
and class legends told of the great
classes of the university.
At that time two rival publica
tions were bidding for popularity.

These ancestors of the present Ne
braskan were the Hesperian and
The Nebraskan. Later these two
papers united under the name of
Nebraskan Hesperian. The Ne
braskan at that time claimed to be
the "university paper'' and carried
the slogan "The Nebraskan Is not
the paper of a portion of Its pa
trons.
Fraternities at that time were
characterised by high stiff collars,
huge neckties and coats that but
toned one or two Inches below the
chin. Men In group pictures seem
to be looking In all directions and
not at the "birdie" that the Campus
Studio uses today.
Picture Student Life
Student llfo section was charac
terised by horoscope!, cartoons and
gentle satires even as today. Just
preceding the student life section
Is found a literary section a
rather unusual sequence of order
In yeai books.
In 1907 the Sombrero was
changed to the Cornhusker. This
book was an amalgamation of the
Junior annual and the senior class
books. Up to that time senior class
books were Issued annually along
side the Junior annuals. The pub
lication of the Cornhusker contin
ued with no significant change till
1924.
Slxe Changed In 1924
In 1924 the Cornhusker was en
larged to a nine by twelve Inch
book, which size It is at present.
The 1924 Cornhusker was similar
In appearance to the present year
book. In looking over the ances;
tors of the Cornhusker. several sig
nificant ' facta corr.o to our attcn
tlon.
In the "old days," In contrast to
the present time, the editor and bus
iness manager were the supreme
powers behind the publication.
What they earned ws theirs, and
many of them made small fortunes.
At the present time the staff of the
Cornhusker is chosen by the Stu
dent Publication Board, which is
composed of five faculty and three
student members. Finances of the
yearbook are handled by the stu
dent activities office.

J
DEAN L. A. CANDY
-r'ourtfiy of Th Lincoln Jurnl.
were University hall, the east end
of the Armory, Nebraska hall and
Pharmacy hall.
Dr. Albert Luther Candy came to
Nebraska In 1893 and has served
since that time, acting as head of
the. mathematics department from
1918 until the present time. Today
his department Includes over 1,000
students, seven men wun pioit-H
sloual rank, and six other assist
ants. "Yes the University has
grown some since I came here,"
Dr. Candy stated rather dryly when
asked what he thought the ad
vancement had been In the last
quarter of a century.
Dr. Candy believes that teachws
are underpaid. To substantiate this
contention, he told of the pay he
had received for teaching at two
different summer sessions at the
University. In 1894 he received the
magnificent sum of $12.12 for his
labors, lasting three weeks. In 1895
he got $10 for teaching the same
length of time.
Only Two Colleges.
When Dr. Candy was first intro
duced to the Nebraska campus,
there were about 1,200 students en
rolled and there were only two
colleges on the campus, the Col
lege of Arts and Sciences and the
industrial r.nllpse. There was
something of a Law college but It
did not nearly approach the organi
zation which now trains the em
bryo bar-members. He put in his
first years as an instructor in pre
paratory work, affiliating with his
present department in 1898.
Dr. Candy was originally a Hoo
sier, coming west to Kansas, where
he received his A. B. in 1892 and
his Master's degree in 1893. In ad
dition to his work in the University
he has taken an active Interest In
civic activities. He served for
twenty-five years as an officer of
the Lincoln central charity league
and from 1909-1913 as an alderman.
