ARTS PROFESSOR
LAUDS COLLEGE
YOUTH OF TODAY
Prof. Paul Grummann Says
General Level Now
Is Better.
MANNERS ARE IMPROVED
Past Students Were Rough.
Rebellious and Broke
Up Classes.
College going youth of tly is
of a mum higher typ. than thirty
yrars ago, according to Prof. Paul
H. Crunimnnn. director of Ihe
M'bool of flno arts, in an Interview
Thumday.
"In the first place." remarked
Mr. Grummann. "although there
were few wonderful and remark
able students thirty years ago, Ihe
general lew! of the student body
was much lower than It Is today.
In thoe days a very large percent
of the students were very poorly,
prepared."
One of the muit noticeable dif
ferences In the college youth of Ibe
present day and the student of
thirty yrars ago is evidenced In
the behuvlor. according to Mr.
Grummann. "In those days the
boys wtre mucb rougher and tbelr
manners were exceedingly poor,"
be saij.
Distinct Croups.
Thirty years ago there was a
distinct and glaring cleavage be
tween fraternity and nonfm'.er-
nity groups, much more so than
there is now. In Mr. Crummann's
words, 'The fraternity groups of
former days were a great deal
more snobbish than they are today.
Furthermore." he supplied. "I have
seen times in the good old days
when nonfraternity students were
openly discriminated against on
the campus in a most flagrant
manner."
On the authority of Director
Grummann, the men and women
who attended this institution of
learning thirty years ago were a
riotous and rebellious group. "The
time was when classes In U hall
were disturbed daily by rebellious
students, and usually the instiga
tors of these miniature riots were
law students on the fifth floor,"
statod the professor.
Interest In Culture.
Another noticeable difference,
especially among the men. is the
Interest which is taken now in cul
tural things. The social class
which attends college is of a dis
tinctly higher average and the stu
dents are more refined, according
lo M(, Grummann. The men of
the past generation were interested
only in material things and did not
look to the more refined side of
life that college men do now.
In reference to feminine tobacco
habit, Mr. Grummann said that as
compared with conditions today
there was practically no smoking
or drinking among women students
of thirty years ago. "There was."
he added, "a great deal of drink
ing among Ihe men of that day.
Before football games they galh
ered at downtown saloons and
cases of student intoxication were
much more evident at the games
than now."
Sees Little Drunkenness.
"In recent times I have chaper
oned several parties and have seen
the students a great deal outside of
Ihe c'ass room, but I have only
seen one man who was under the
Influence of liquor to a noticeable

Mussehl Announces Dressed
Spring Chickens to Be
Offered For Sale.
"Varsity Broilers" Is the name
given to a new product being
grown at the university farm,
Prof. F. E. Mussehl. head of the
department announced. This prod
uct will be on the market at the
salesroom In the dairy building
next week, he aided.
Small fries or broilers are being
drawn snd dressed. Prof. Mus
sehl explained. These fully dressed
and cleaned chickens are then
placed In a refrigerator at zero
degrees temperature and arc
quick-frozen. The fully dressed
and cleaned chickens are packed
in sanitary boxes ready for sale.
This is an experiment that
promises to prove qutle popular,
Prof. Mussehl commented. There
Is a class of people today who
may be termed as the "suit-case
brigade," he continued. "Both
husband and wife, in this day, are
going out seeking employment.
No one Is left at home to pay a
great deal of attention to cook
ing meals.
"The trend baa been to obtain
food in compact packages as
nearly ready to serve as possible,"
Mussehl added. "Similar products
have been put up and marketed
at other places, some of them be
ing even cooked and put up in
tins. Now we are adding broil
ers to the Hat."

Group of Drawings Are on
Display in Former
Museum.
PICTURES ARE UNUSUAL
By ROBERT BERNSTEINE.
A group of drawings, senl out
by the Beaux Arts Institute of De
sign In New York city. Is on dis
play in Mr. Hills' office in the
former Museum.
All schools of architecture which
belong to the Institute assign the
same problems to the students, and
lhelr work is forwarded to the
New York office. The drawings
sent from school to school for dis
play represent the best of the work
sent in.
The first object that meets, the
critical eye. in traveling In a west
erly direction about the room is
Triumphal Arch, the product of
Unlvrslty of Illinois student. The
arm haa 'the qualities of sublimity,
being at the same time modern
istic. A Modern Park.
One drawing, the work of a Car
negie Tech student, entitled "A
Park" is well equipped, having a
lake, hotel, promenade, merry-go-round,
a filling station for gaso
line, and a tourist camp. This
critic, though no artist reasoned
that the author of the fanciful
park, being an easterner was ac
customed to a- dearth of space,
consequently placing everything he
could think of Into his park. Nev
ertheless the drawing is well exe-
cul ed.
The drawings include Ihrce me
morial museums, which all re
minded the writer of the Detroit
Art Institute, but as the reader is
probably unaware of the appear
ance of this structure, these still
remains three memorial museums,
and no description. Let it suffice
that the museums are well exe
cuted. Hard to Interpret.
Then descending on the elemen
tary schools, in the first place, they
were well executed. A Yale stu
dent responsible for one gave but
little clue as to what his building
should represent: the onlooker
might consider the drawing a fair
representation of what a Yale
structure might look like eighty
years from now. Two other ele
mentary schools include a modern
istic design by a Princetonlan,
and a fine colonial design by a
student of New York university.
"The Interior of A Tudor Hall"
is one of the masterpieces of the
collection. This drawing is in
color and presents many fine shad
owings. A University of Washington
student is responsible for "Olym
piad." which is his Idea of just
that. This is an ideal drawing
and has mucb in il productive of
thought.
Two othcr splendid presentations
of arches Include one to the ama
teur athlete, and the other, an
Olympic structure.
Drawiugs are now on display on
the fourth floor of the former mu
seum. an,d will remain on display
iuiliI cix o'clock, Saturday.

board ot regents.
Regents Is Act Soon.
The proposal will be acted upon
by the board at their next meet
ing, to be held sometime this
month. The probable questions
they will seek to answer, the chan
cellor stated, are these: Can tha,
department's work be arranged so
that it may be carried on at no
extra expense during the lcavo of
one of its staff? and second, will
the public think the faculty Is be
ing overmanned, just to allow
some members a leave of absence
at regular intervals?
If approved, the plan will be a
marked advance for the NebarrUa
faculty, Mr. Burnett Elated. This
idea is used in a majority of the
institutions similar to the Univer
sity of Nebraska, and with marlicii
success, be said.
The rule permitting visiting o'.
classes during the summer session
is intended for the benefit of thci.se
who are attending for the short
term, and are vitally interested in
subjects for w hich they are unabl
to register. It will aid the cotintv
superintendents, and instructor
from the various high schools and
grade schools of the slate, the
chancellor declared. Under the
present rule, students are not al
lowed to visit classes other than
those for which they are regularly
enrolled.
There were uevcral minor
chsnges in the personnel of the
senate committees, but no very
great rearrangement.
