FACULTY
FLUNKS MAIN
Fifty Professors Fail
in
Fifty Questions Given
By Students.
COLUMBIA, Mo. Retaliating
after the two-week period of ex
amination and mark-posting just
ended at Columbia university. The
Spectator, undergraduate daily, te
vealed in resuming publication
yesterday that a test had been
given by members of its staff to
more than fifty members of the
faculty, all of whom "flunked."
The questionnaire used was
taken from an article by Thomas
Boer in a recent issue of Scribner's
magazine and included forty quer
ies. Of fifty-three sets of answers
only ten were complete and only
four of those responding would
allow their names to be used in
connection with their marks.
The highest grade attained by a
member of the faculty was 55.1
percent. j
According to the Spectator,
"many of the irentlemen who pose
J question after question to down
trodden college men were reluc
ts nt to undergo an examination
themselves."
Answers to some of the posers,
ancther interviewer said, indicated
that professors are just as prone
to "bluff as students. A majority
of those questions did not know
what chromium was, but explained
that it was "something to do with
automobiles." Not one knew the
significance of Abu Simbol, and
only one named three living
American architects correcUy.
As a further experiment, the
test was given to six students of
the junior and senior classes. One
scored 46 percent, distinctly higher
than many of the faculty received,
and anotoer made 41.6.
The questions, originally com
posed by an unnamed engineer and
a lawyer, related m the main to
history and literature.
Among the difficult queries
listed were: "Who were the Picco
lomini?" "Who was Tillman Rie
monschneider?" "Translate 'Nos
ciro autm quid antes quam natus
sis accident, id est semper esse
pueruin" and "Wno invented the
phrase, 'categorical imperative?"
Easier were such questions as
"Who is President of France?"
and "Name five motor cars manu
factured in Great Britain." N S.

'Wise' Students Make Life Tough
For Poor Laboratory Assistants
By A STAFF REPORTER.

an inferiority complex. It is not
difficult to extract a tale of con
siderable woe from any of these
unfortunates. A closer acquain
tance, however, will piwe that
the lab tuais'ant is not the glass
eyed, single-purposed banality
commonly expected by victims of
the science requirement. On the
contrary, they often have experi
ences and ideas of a peculiarly in
teresting type --even in the labs.
And this doesn't take into account
their more exposed activities.
One assistant in particular, fa
miliar to frequenters of Bes.Ncy
Hall, Is emphatic in his denial of
the idea commonly held of his kind.
"My experience," ho declared, with
due" emphasis on the last, "has not
only convinced me that we lab in

almost defenseless before this bar

ways one in every lab who man

' "Furthermore," ho added, "girls
are especially obnoxious in this
way, and it's a crtms the way they

tor. They know wo can't very well
refuse to help them with the vivi

Dean Ferguson. "We feel particu

FINEST.

proprlation he also feels that there
are other departments on the cam
pus who probably need buildings
as much as does the geology de
partment. He would like to see a
new nslronomv bulldlne pew en
gineering buildings and a general
building to replace old Vniversity
hall.
Prof. Schiamm believes that the
proposed union building is the one
most needed en the campus now
and he is a hearty backer of the
project. He has traveled about
and seen union buildings at other
schools and firmly believes that
Nebraska has a pressing need for
a building of this tpe.
Geology is Old.
The department of geology is
one of the oldest departments of
the university. Professor Schramm
has been with the department
since 1008 and in that time has
seen a great development in the
department. He has seen the va
cating of the former Museum
building for Morrill hall with all
its improvements.
A number of new instructors
have been added to the department
in the last few years since the de
partment moved to Morrill hall. A
large number of courses have also
been "dJwl Tautology,
sedi-
(mentation, and stratigraphy. Many
of these courses have Just been or
fered since the department moved
into Morrill hall in 1927.
Get Many New Specimens.
New specimens are continually
pouring into the department from
former students all over the world.
Besides this source four field par
ties are sent out each summer to
seaich for new fossils and speci
mens. The summer geology class
is also sent out on a tour of west
ern states esch summer and they
bring back many specimens. This
tour takes the 'students to Wyo
ming, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico,
Colorado. Kansas, and Nebraska.
Professor Schramm hopes that
appropriations may be received
some time in the future so that his
dreams mav be brought true. He
knows that other departments
need money, just as bis does, but
hopes his turn will come soon.
H. C. Mortlock '16 of Fort
Worth, Tex., and Brian O'Brianj
'20. of the Buffalo Brick Co. at
Buffalo. Kas., were visitors at

A picture of the members of

A large view of the members of
the constitutional convention of

the display of thehistorical society.
There were seventy-one members
of that gathering.

Pictures of the men who have
served the state in the capacity of

an attraction of interest. The

Francis Burt, first territorial gov
ernor, as well as the respective
governors who have served since
the state was established.
