BEAUTIFICAIION
Ivy Day Orator Narrates
History Of Campus
Development.
In his plea for campus beautifi-
catlon, Ralph "Cy" Slocum, yester
day aucrnoons ivy Day orator,
set forth a history of campiis de
velopment and Nebraska, deplored
conditions as they now exist, and
expressed the hope that the admin
istration s plan of campus arrange
ment and progression may be
carried out.
"The original campus as taked
out by the university com
prised the space of four city
blocks. In the center of this square
of prairie or cow pasture, the first
college building was erected, old
U Hall. Both the building and the
campus space were ample for the
early years, but time and growth
have brought many changes. Build
ing after building has been added
to this old campus, planless in con
ception, and having neither har
mony of style nor design," Slocum
declared.
Slocum paid tribute to the
regents and the administration for
their efforts to devise a feasible
and progressive plan of develop
ment and expressed the hope that
the legistlature would see fit to
give the University of Nebraska
the buildings and space which it
so sorely needs.
