And gone.
Nebraska alumni from rrmst to

Met and
Renewed old contact.
Chancellor Burnett and I
Went went.
And met seven groups.
And thouxand of friends ;
Well, hundreds anyhow.
V started with Spokane.
Th finest city on the trip.
Royally entertained by Rockie and
Davis,
And a free lunch
At the University club.
An alumni banquet at night
At the Davenport Hotel. .
Well attended and successful, but
Not because I led the singing.
Next came Seattle.
The finest city on the trip.
Guests of John Hartman
At th Runier cllih
And of many others during the
aay.
A biff- meetine
With enthusiasm worthy
Of a football rally.
Thence to Portland.
The finest city on the trip.
Pardon me
"The City of Roses."
We still try to remember
Our pledge.
A flight over the city
Was planned.
But half our party
Didn't want to.
(Pardon the preposition.)
The alumni met and we all
Enjoyed it, even though
It cost Norman Richards
Twenty dollars.
South to San Francisco,
The finest city on the trip.
By train and ferry.
Met by Mills and Bell
At the hotel.
'i hey slept too late
But planned It on the traffic.
If all the gasoline
Consumed that day
Were poured Into an auto tank.
It would furnish power enough
To take us as far
As we went,
Which was miles
And miles.
We saw much
And enjoyed it all.
A fine meeting, with food
And fun.
South some more
To Los Angeles,
The finest city on the trip.
The University club
Chinese theater, Hollywood,
The Breakfast club,
Pfl-qndena. relatives, airplanes.
College presidents, friends,
And climate.
The alumni met
And filled the room
To overflowing.
Toward the east
To Salt Lake City,
Th finpst citv on the trin.
They had no organized group
When we arnvea,
But they have one now,
A rood one.
We were entertained
Splendidly, and
Enjoyed it.
Further east
To Denver,
The finest city on the trip.
Housed at the D. A. C
And so busy,
Didn't have time to swim
At the club.
Entertained some more ?
Yes, much more,
And well.
A fine meeting.
Well attended.
And then
We took the train
For home.
To Lincoln.
Hurrah!
The finest city
On the trip.

all the qualitie of leaderahip
would make a t realise, but un
doubtedly there are qualitiea that
are more outatandmg IhKn other.
Poaaibly the miwl important re.
qulslte "of leadership ta knowledge.
Th first type of knowledge that
la needed for leadership la technl
cal knowledge. The student I
given th opportunity to apeclal
Ue in some field of work if he o
desires, or h may take coume
which prepare him for life.
In either case It la the duty of
a student while attending school
to learn as much as possible, for
upon his assimilation of knowledge
during school days depends his
success In future years. He must
know his work better than his
competitor In order to be a leader.
Th world respect mental astute
ness and brilllanrv. Some men
larklnr other qualities have yet
been leaders because of a colossal
Intellect. Thi rails to mind the
case of Steinmet, the electrical
wlrard, who was a genius through
sheer mental brilliancy. During
his student days his greatest de
light lay in the solving of knotty
mathematical formulas. His work
became a passion with him and he
surps-ssed his instructors with re
markable ease. As a consulting
member of the staff of the Gen
eral Electric company, Stelnmets
prepared the way for numerous
inventions of great value to the
people.
Mutt Know Human Nature
Rarely, however, does a person
become a leader who secludes
himself and does not enjoy the
society of others. It is necessary
to have that common touch, an
understanding of his fellows. It
is seen, therefore, that a know
ledge of human nature is essen
tial to leadership. The student, if
he is on the alert, can find a
school of human nature all about
him in the rooming house, the
classroom, the student activities,
and the social world. He can ad
vance in his understanding of
people through observations and
contact. Edgar Guest, although
criticized by many as a versifier
rather than a poet, has a wide
knowledge of human nature. The
subject of human nature is fur
ther discussed under the heading
of tact and poise.
Perhaps a quality that might be
placed next in importance to
knowledge Is initiative. The abil
ity to go ahead and accompnsn
things constitutes this quality.
Henry Ford began life as a poor
boy, but by his initiative he built

Walter S r.tfford. who la the
president of the American Tele
phone and Telegraph company, t
one of the outstanding figure In
the new eia of busineaa. Yet he
began hi buiiinr.ia career a a
clerk in the employ of the Weatern
Electric company. One could go
on and mention numerous ex
amplea of leadera of the present
day who have .iiircrerded because
of lhlr coinage. Of course, these
men possessed other qualities alto,
but these qual ties would not have
been of grenl valu unless they
were upplemented by courage.
Henrtty Neeenary
Honesty ha always been con
sidered a requisite for leaderahip.
A student will never be able to
get others to follow him unless
and until they hav implicit faith
in hi integrity. The importance
of honesty is " too often disre
garded when the qualities com
posing leadership are discussed.
Magnetic personality Is the su
preme gift which sttracta follow
ers as a micnet does penny nails.
AH of us have a personality of
some kind, because we all have
"outward expressions of our In
ner selves." In order to be a
leader one reeds a compelling per
sonality. F Stanley Jones, the
great evangelist to India, displays
this quality remarkably well. By
the very force of his personality,
he guides the spiritual lives of his
followers. Although one may excel
In other qualities of leadership,
unless he has that quality of per
sonal magnetism, his range will
be limited. Graham McNamee has
become the premier of radio an
nouncers In-muse of the magnetic
enthusiasm of his voice as he re
lates the details of a stirring foot
ball game or visualizes for us the
excitement of a poliUcal conven
tion. Sense of Humor
A sense of humor is the salt
that seasons life. Many leaders
have found that not only a soft
but a wittv answer "turneth away
wrath." This quality is usually a
precious heritage, but by patient
endeavor it can be acquired. Will
Rogers has employed his sense of
humor for the benefit of our gov
ernment in times of need. His un
official goodwill trip into Mexico
marked the beginning of cordial
relations with that turbulent
country.
Boundless energy that fairly
crackles with the electricity of en
thusiasm is a by-product of su
perb health. One unconsciously
follow a person racuaxing pcysi-
cal energy. Theodore Roosevelt s
father realized that his son s lacK
cf good health would be disastrous
to anything the future might bold
for him. He therefore placed
good health first in his boy's life
until young Theodore gained a
strong resistance to disease. Then

Th following illustration show

Hon of one of her most valued j
clilsens.
In analyzing the reason for hla '
success, one quality Is found to be
supreme, that of perseverance. It
was perseverance that led him
from a lowly station in life to a
position commanding the respect
of the world. Edward Bok, donor
of the one hundred thousand dol
lar Peace plan of the Bird Sanc
tuary containing the famous Sing-,
ing Tower, ts the little Dutch lad :
who climbed the ladder of leader
ship and success through persever
ance. Service Is Important
Then service is necessary for
leadership. This simply means
the act of helping others. Her
bert Hoover, who served as food
administrator during the late war,
rendered great service to human
ity by feeding the starving Bel
gians, and by alleviating their
sufferings in other wsys.
Herbert Hoover, however, is not
the only personage who has given
hia time and effort for the wel
fare of the nation. The educators,
for instance, are constantly ren
dering service. Angelo Patri, one
of the foremost pedagogues in
America came to our shores as a
poor immigrant boy. He has
served ignorant immigrants by hia
understanding of their problems,
and he has given a great deal of
his time to the betterment of
their conditions. By unselfishly
giving of his time and efforts to
the helping of others, the student
will be able to develop a distinct
type of leadership.
Each leader who has been men
tioned in this essay not only has
the particular quality which has
