"ORGANIZED
RESPONSIBILITY"
Grace Coppock Organized Y. W. C. A.
Activities in China Recounts Student
Y MARGARET DAY.
Thirty years ago in September,
an unassuming, unheralded and a
very young woman entered the
University of Nebraska, who was
to have a material Influence upon
the social growth of a nation.
' That young woman was Grace
Coppock, of Superior, Neb., Uiea
little more than a village.
Her spirit and vivacious person
ality had such a lasting effect
upon her associates, that, ten
years after her death, the eyes of
those who knew her in school
sparkle as they relate some
clownish prank of her contrivance,
or as they try to describe her en
thusiastic idealism, and her warm
heartedness.
Organized Black Masque.
While a student in university,
she was very active in campus af
fairs. She was one or ine organ
izers of the Black Masque society,
late to become a chapter of the
national organization, known aa
Mortar Board. She was an excel
lent student, and exceedingly well
liked.
Following her graduation from
Nebraska in 1905 she became very
much interested in the situation
then existing in China, and decided
to enter Y. W. C A. work there,
then a very new field.
For a year she traveiea mrongn
the state of New York, acquaint
ing herself with the organization
and aims of the Y. W. C. A. Then
in 1906, she started out to China.
Sailing from Seattle, she discov
ered a day before her boat was to
leave that she would be the only
woman on Doara, ana me crew
was entirely composed of Chinese.
Ignorant of the Chinese language,
she spoke to no one for the three
weeks which the Journey occupied.
She met with no misadventures,
however, and plunged into the task
of building up a strong organiza
tion among Chinese women, as
soon as she had disembarked in
Shanghai.
Made General Secretary,
in ioo7 he was made the first
general secretary for the Y. W. C
A. in China. It was necessary ior
Via, tn fare tubborn odds in order
to bring Chinese women out of the
actual physical Donaage io mc.i
families and homes; the first step
in securing for them some meas
ure of personal freedom, and an
ODDortunity to improve their phy
sical and social welfare.
One of the amusing, lr rainer
conditions with which
she had to contend, was an organi
zation of women calling mem-
selves a Y. W. C A- whose chiei
function was to secure irom me
United States motion picture films
which were suppressed by censors,
and show them before mnese
audiences. These performances
were so revolting to the natives,
with their highly refined Ideals of
culture, 'especially regarding per
sonal relationships, that it was ex
ceedingly difficult to restore the
limitation of the Y. W. C A. even
to a position of neutral acceptance.
... . . . . a ' a t tka
UntU aoOUl ine nine w
World war, the Y. W. a. in
China provided practically the
only means for women to engage
in physical eaucauon acuviuc,
and thruout its history there, has
stressed this type of education.
Keynote is Eagerness.
Perhaps the keynote of Grace
Coppock's success in building up
I an organization that has wun
! stood all of the political and gov
j ernmental upsets in China since
the early part of the century lay
i in her eagerness to adapt the as
! sociation to the deepest needs of
! the Chinese community, and assist
! them in avoiding some of the er-
rors wmcn nave Deen mnw u
western civilization in industrial
progress.
Altbo at one time there were
ninety American secretaries in the
Chinese Y. W each worked with
a native woman, trailing her to
accept executive responsibilities.
At the present time there are only
thirty-four foreign secretaries in
the aasociation, and the number is
continually decreasing. Miss Cop
pock always insisted on native
leadership wherever and as soon
it was possible Tne general
secretary now. Miss Ting, who is
Miss Coppock's successor, was
trained by her for the position, and
worked as Miss Coppock's assis
tant for many years.
Women Get Equal Pay.
At the present time in China, un
der the new government, women
employed in positions receive the
rame salary a man would in the

same position, a condition rather
different from that in our own in
dustrial organization, and certainly
far different from that in the old
Chinese regime, when a woman
was confined to the four walls of
her home, was expected to be
handmaiden, obedient servant and
manager o( the housenold of her
husband, his parents, and many of
his relatives. The Y. W. C. A has
been a powerful influence in devel
oping this high social and eco
nomic status of women, by pro
moting every possible means of
bringing women out of their se
questered homes, such as adult ed
ucation, assisting in financial cam
paigns, and by encouraging mixed
parties for boys and girls.
Thus was Grace Coppock of Su
perior deeply cocerned in the prog
ress made by Chinese women in
the last three decades, and her
name is indelibly associated by
persons not only in China, but all
over the world, with the splendid
organization of the Chinese Y. W.

complimenting him upon his ad
dresses from Iowa, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Missouri and
Kansas. Many people living in the
vicinity of Lincoln, and many from
out-state often take the opportun
ity of visiting Morrill hall while in
Lincoln, to see the things that Mr.
Collins has talked about, and also
to see the man who gives such in
teresting talks about museum
events.
Many of the letters that Mr. Col
lins receives are for copies of his
addresses. One lady wrote that
she wished to file a particular ad
dress away in a loose-leaf note
book to keep for reference. "We
only send out copies of the talks,
when the requests are particularly
polite and flattering," said Mr.
Collins, with a sly wink at me, that
informed the writer that anyone
who requested a copy would get
one by return mall.
Talks on Anything.
When asked how he thought of
subjects for his addresses, Mr. Col
lins smiled, and remarked, "I talk
on anything connected with a mu
seum, and as every man on earth
is a walking museum you see they
cover everything. I defy you to
find anything that I wouldn't
bring into these talks."
In connection with the main
topic of the discussion, Mr. Col
lins has an amazing faculty for
bringing excellent pertinent quota
tions from the most famous of the
world authors and poets into his
speeches. "They all come out of
my head," he explained, "I enjoy
reading, and when a quotation
seen particularly adept to illus
trate the point that I am making,
I just put it in."
Although the question was
couched in the most careful terms,
Mr. Collins, denied that he had
ever been stage struck while in
front of the "mike." T have never
fainted while in front of the mic
rophone nor has it ever jumped
out at me, so I am afraid that I
can't give you any material of that
nature," he said.
The reporter bad another ques
tion on the tip of his tongue to ask
the curator when Mr. Collins look
ed at his watch, and decided that
he had said enough for the day.
"Just remember," he said, "that
the talks are just what is going
on in the Nebraska State mu
seum." THREE ENGINEERS

PILE HIGH SCORE
I
Huskers Triumph Decisively
With 66 to 38 Score
In Stadium.
SMUTNY SHINING LIGHT
Ace of Sprinters Runs Off
With Three Firsts in
Dash, Hurdles.
By JOE MILLER.
Despite Coach Schulte's many
worries over injuries and that old
jinx. Ineligibility, the University
of Nebraska cinder athletes came
through with a decisive 66 to 08
triumph over Kansas State in an
indoor dual compet, Saturday aft
ernoon in the stadium.
George Srautny, Schute's ace of
sprinters was the shining light for
the Huskers, copping three firsts
in the 60-yard dash, and in the
low and high hurdles. The Seward
flyer turned in an excellent per
formance in the 60-yard dash
event winning with a time of 6.3,
and in so doing came within one
tenth of a second of the world's
record for that distance. Jerry
Lee was right on Smutny's heels
giving Nebraska a second as well
as a first in tbe event.
Other outstanding performers in
the meet were Hugh Rhea in the
shot put, Milton Ehrlich of Kansas
State in the high lump, ostergara
in the 880 and Jordan, Kansas
State, and Dean, Nebraska, pole
vaulters.
Rhea Takes First
Hugh Rhea, Husker star weight
man took an easy first in the shot
put, propelling the iron ball a dis
tance of 50 feet, inch. Socolof
sky of the Kaggies was second
with a heave of 41 feet 11 inches.
The manner in which Rhea con
tinues to get that shot out for dis
tances of 49 and 50 feet is un
canny. On his second trial, Hugh
chalked up a mark of 49 feet 2
inches.
Ehrlich -was perhaps the most
outstanding cinder artist for Coach
Ward Haylett's tea, winning first
in the high jump with a leap of
an even six ffet. In an exhibition,
Erhlich, who is considered tbe
class among high-jumpers in Bix
Six track circles cleared the bar
at six feet one.
The pole vault furnished plenty
of fireworks, the final outcome be
ing a tie for first between Dean
of Nebraska, and Jordan of Kan
sas State at 12 feet 6Vs inches.
That this was a very creditable
mark is evidenced by the fact that
the Bix Six indoor record for the
pole vault is 12 feet 9 inches. As
a matter of fact, the bar was ele
vated to a height of 12 feet 9
inches, but neither was able to
clear the bar, Dean knocking the
bar off with his arm aa he was
coming down.
Huskers Make Sweep.
Nebraska made a clean sweep of
tbe broad jump, winning all three
places. Hege jumped 23 feet 1 inch
to win, with Coburn Tomson sec
ond, and Craig, third. Gray of Ne
braska, competing unattached be
cause of scholastic difficulties,
broke the varsity indoor broad
jump record with a leap of 23 feet
S'i inches.
Coach Henry Schulte expressed
himself aa being well pleased with
the work of his team in the meet,
but declared that the Big Six con
ference indoor carnival which will
be held at Columbia, March 7, will
give his men all the competition
they want. He intimated that
much must be accomplished before
the end of next week. The Huskers
competed without the services of
Lamson, star hurdler, who injured
an ankle a few days ago. It is be
lieved that he will be in shape to
show his stuff at Columbia.
