Mingled Emotions Vie in Stories Students of Days Past Tell in Connection With Ellen Smith (By William Taylor.) Ellen Smith, registrar of the Uni versity of Nebraska for twenty-four years, was loved an drespected bv .students and faculty alike, holds a' larger place in university mem ories than any other woman in the history of the institution, in her honor h been erected Ellen Smith hall, whose spacious old halls now resound with the voices of the mod ern coed. In addition to her position as reg istrar. MIbb Smith was the first of her sex to hold a teaching position on the university faculty. Duties aa Instructor In Latin and Greek, as principal of the Latin school, and a custodian of the Library, in ad dition to her administrative tasks, were preformed by Mlas Smith whole heartedly, devotedly and ef- flrlently throughout the greater part of her life. Keeently a short book was pre pared by the Gamma chapter of Chi Delta I'hl. literary organization of university graduates and under graduates, which contains several Morles on the life and personality of Lllen Smith, written by former xtudetits who knew her in life. Tho hlography of Miss Smith is writ ten by Eleanor Ultima n. Born In Ohio Kllen Smith was born Ht Orwell, Ohio, February 14, 1838. She gradu ated from Orwell Academy and be gan to teach at the age of four teen years. Later she worked her way through Hillsdale College, Michigan, by doing housework. Graduating in 1866, Miss Smith be came assistant principal at Mans field, Ohio. In 1877 she became a tutor of Latin at the University of Nebras ka on recommendation of Chancel lor Fairfield, who had known her v. het he was president of Hillsdale College. Miss Smith later was ap pointed to other positions, and In 1S84 became the first woman regis trar at the university, which posi tion she held until illness forced her to retire in 1902. Ellen Smith died at her home in Lincoln on Friday, February 21, 1903, aa a result of cancer. Funeral services were held in Memorial hall fend were attended by a large num ber of people, many former stu dents cuming from great distances. Her body was taken to Orwell, Ohio, for burial. The gre;U love and fear which Htinlents held for Ellen Smith, pop ularly known as "Ma" Smith, is in dicated by the stories contained in the book of her life.

The Staters scored more points last Saturday than ever be fore In the annual mid-west track classic.

W. Searson, '95, who was called upon by his class to inform Miss Smith that that vear's publication of "The Sombrero," (predecessor of the "Cornhusker ') bad been aeaicaiea to her, and that her picture was de sired. According to Mr. Searson, he snent some time getting up cour age to enter the office of the regis trar. He describes the reaction oi Miss Smith in the following words: "O, the dear children!" she ex claimed, her handB upraised, her face lighting up beyond anything l had d. -ed dream. Eyes, whose steely darts had transfixed fresh men, lowered in a strange mist. Then she said. "Tell them I love them all. I am proud of the honor. Goorrlna Case Sawyer "07, in tell inc of her impression of Ellen Smith, writes "Among all the char acters connected with the univer Rlly, officially, there was never. I think, a more uniquely outstanding individual than Ellen Smith. Fter life was bound up in the institution, and in its young men and women and her influence among them was a constant force to hold them to their best." Further Accounts Mrs. Maude Atkinson Thayer, '07 indicates her impression of Ellen Smith by writing "A record of Misa Smith, her activities and her say ings, should surely be made, albeit she did scare us hair to death when we were freshmen, with occasional relapses on our part, during subse quent years. But forever afterward Doorer was the student who finish ed his course without learning that he had a sincere friend and well wisher in Ellen Smith, registrar. Officially we looked upon her as a kind or Nemesis, sitljng in her of fice and weaving fateful threads wherewith to entangle unwary lit tle students." May B. Field, '82, a few memor ies with the words: '"Those who came to sqhool with the earnest de sire to Improve and get ahead needed no wiser or more sympa thetic friend than Miss Smith. Of the fine teachers I have had who could be counted on the fingers of one hand, I place Miss Smith near the top." Plattsburgh, N. Y.

This greeting accompanied by a ge nial smile of welcome was suffici ent to break the lee to secure th observations of Iean George Evert Coiulni, of the conservation and survey department of the Univer sity In regard to his division Hnd mid university evolution. It was a busy morning hour, but lhe dean, though busy behind a for midable pile of mull and several half-opened parcels of soli tamples, gae a few minuies of his time In recalling the changes and develop ments oi the last twenty-six years at Nebraska. Questioned first about the growth and development within his own depurtment, Dean Condra described his Introduction to the University In 19U2. He tame to Nebraska con nected with the department of geo logy. His work was chlerly con cerned with geography and was carried on in connection with the geology suney. Three Main Steps He traced the development of this division, that is so littlo known to most University students, in three main stens. in 1!WH, the ne at ion of a connervatlon welfare ! commission, of which he was direc , tor, was created and concerned the i promotion of resources in Ne ; braska. The dean adjusted hlmseir to a more comfortable position In his swivel chair, relit his cigar and paused a moment to recall a date, and to declare that he never could hope to give all the great changes In one issue. "In 1913 a new law created a commission on soil survey which became a department In the Uni versity. In 1918 this combined with the original geology survey and was given charge of all conserva tion and soil survey. This Is as the division is found today, composed of nine departments. These are: the geology survey, soil survey, water suney, state forestry sur vey, wild life survey, conservation department. Industrial survey, pho tographic service and an informa tion bureau. Work With Government "This work is now carried on in co-operation with the federal gov ernment. The personnel, besides the regular employees, includes as signees from Washington, D. C. So you see, this division is really a university within itself." When asked for a statement in connec tion with his favorlre department of the work, the dean only smiled at the futility of such a question, but condescended to relate a few facts about the soil survey depart ment. "This department works about four or five counties a year, and has completed to date a detailed survey of sixty-five Nebraska counties. Maps and detailed data of every conceivable area in the state are covered, showing all the soils, drainage facilities and cul tural possibilities. Every forest, river, lake, ditch, schoolhouse, and church, even the buildings on the farms and ranches, are charted. "The results of this extensive work are used in farm management schools, road bulUlIng and farm loan organizations. It is a service hat was so greatly appreciated, that a national soil survey associa tion including United States, Mex ico and Canada has been formed." Condra Is President During the past year Dean Con dra served as president of this as sociation. He brushed aside anoth er question and related some of the work In other departments, of taking maps, charts and books here and there to show the detail of the work covered. Chief among these was a bulletin edited by Dean Con dra. and called NEBRASKA BEAU TIFUL. It points out how the spirit of development has grown in Ne braska. "Why it's the most fundamental work of the University!" he ex claimed enthusiastically, and at this juncture left the room to point out the work in the various depart ments in the division. "My office used to be on the third floor in the old museum. As the departments grew or others were added, however, we were transferred to the basements of University and Nebraska halls. Now' we are in this location in Ne braska hall and the studio and I like it fine, because our work has grown. Have Camera Equipment "The Interest in this service Is evident, iu that, we have fit), 000 worth of camera equipment alone. And, do yon know how many lec tures f have given over the state B & F PASTERS YOUR OLD BROWN YOUR OLD BLUE, OR WHATEVER THE HUE OF THAT OLD SUIT YOU LIKE TO WEAR " AND KEEP ON WEARING, GO AHEAD AND WEAR IT IF IT CARRIES THE B&F LABEL. IT'S CORRECT. PASTE THAT IN YOUR HAT BENNETT & FLUGSTAD 'Across from the Campus' Functions fllrf In this work?" The answer was an awed "No." "Sixteen hundred." he replied and then, laughing. "Unough to kill any man." The dean appeared very much alive, however, and keyed to h work. At this point, the reporter remembered Dean Condra's dynamic Influence with tho spirit of the school, and asked about this phase of university Ufo. Tho dean paused, as If to remem- Lbrr some Illustrative Incident. "When I flrBt came to .scDtasKa, I was associated in my work with Cornell university. There I be came acquainted with the spirits of Institutions and resolved to Inject It Into Nebraska students." The dean related, none too-wlllingly. the lack of purpose and dignity that was then outstanding in university Btudents. Had No Spirit "They loltereu. They lounged. They did not attack things like they meant It." With this In mind Condra became instrumental In es tablishing the Olympics. "We called a Junior and senior class meeting to see what could be done about eliminating the weak and slssyfted atmosphere In our stu dent life. Wo decided that sn event like the Olympics would do away with the horseplay and tom foolery and build up real enthusi asm. "This event has served Its pur pose now and we have grown away from that old childishness, but out of its scheme, boxing, wrestling and other minor sports were cre ated at Nebraska." The dean emphasized that In his work, he was "a connecting link between here and out there (over the state.)" It was his aim and purpose in high school talks and lectures to emphasize the student's purpose in coming to the Univer sity. "These boys must feel a pride In their Institution!" he stated em phatically, and strode about the room as though to relieve his mind of the weight of this truism. "Or ganization was necessary, so we set about for the initiation of all fresh men. With the chanceller, I framed the freshman oath, for the pur pose of having some definite stan dard and ideal. Now it is estab lished and a real spirit of the school prevails." There was a note of satisfaction, not with himself by any means, but with the Institution that he loves, In this last statement. Then the man to whom The Daily Ne braskan was once dedicated, the co-advisor with Coach Schulte of the Innocents honorary senior so ciety, and the man who's efforts have borne fruit in making Ne braska one of the best both iu his department and in its student life which was optional, suddenly re membered that there was work awaiting him In a room down the hall where the Interview had started. "University life permeates the life over the state." That was the final statement of the dean, but if this is the ideal condition and an enthusiastic twinkle of the eye means anything, great strides to wards this end have been made since 1902. The evolution of Nebraska foot ball rallies and described by Dean Condra, is very interesting. At first rallies were held In a barn, then in a restaurant, and finally in hotelR.

The llay speeded up consider ably after the tn minute rest, and Drake was playing Nebraska more evenly for the first few minutes of the second half. Their rally, however, was cut short, but Ne braska was not hooping their bas kets In as regularly as In tho first canto. Second Five Sent In With a comfortable lead to rest upon, Nebraska sent in a complete five, consisting of iMunn, Jensen, Uavey, Holm and Olson. After sev eral minutes play with no scoring to their credit. Coach Black Jerked this combination, and replaced them with Grace, Fisher, Maclay, I.ewandowski and Witte, all of which had started the game. The game never regained the first half speed after this change and lhe margin between the two teams remained about the same un til the end of the game.
