dissensions have developed over
university policies.
University credit has been made
possible thru comprehensive ex
aminations where formerly regis

This provision is intended primar
ily for students with irregular
preparation or those who have
transferred from other colleges
where courses are not parallel
with our own.
' Changes In Faculty.
The changes in the faculty have
nolibeen numerous. Seven profes

Necrology
We are saddened by the death
of our honored professor emeritus,
Grove E. Barber, soldier of the
Civil war and a much loved pro
fessor of Latin, who died April 25
last.
The passing on the same day,
April 25, of Dr. H. H. Waite leaves
a vacancy difficult to fill in uni
versity circles. For twenty-nine
years he was a member of the de
partment o f bacteriology and
chairman since 1913. He was in
active service, being absent from
class only a day or two before his
death. s
Alumni will also note with sad
ness the passing of Mrs. Caldwell,
wife of former Professor H. W.
Caldwell, deceased, of the depart
ment of American history.
Dr. James M. Patton, chairman
of opthalmology at the Medical
college at Omaha, died June 6,
J 930, just after our report of one
year ago.

To the parents and friends of
those who were stricken in their
young manhood and womanhood,
we extend our deep sympathy.

The legislature adjourned with
out passing a general appropria
tion bill to provide university sup
port for the next two years. The
governor recommended $3,683,000
for general maintenance but rec
ommended nothing for permanent
improvements. Our severely modi
fied requests carried $460,000 for
buildings.
Tire Destroys Building.
S:ace the recess of the legisla
ture, fire has destroyed the animal
husbandry building at the agricul
tural college, making an appropri
ation of $75,000 necessary 'to re
store the building and build a
fireproof seed laboratory. The
$460,000 requested of the last leg
islature should now be increased
to carry the $75,000 above men
tioned, making a total of $535,000
for permanent improvement pur
poses. The university is greatly in need
of a concerted effort by its alumni
to promote a greater appreciation
of its service to the public. More
than 17,500 alumni are scattered
far and wide thruout the United
States and in foreign lands. Not a
few have acquired positions of
large responsibility and command
ing influence. Many have pros
pered financially as a direct result
of their education and might well
consider the repayment of their
obligation to the university in gifts
large or small as an expression of
their appreciation to the state for
its contribution to their success. A
committee of the alumni should be
appointed to study the problem of
the university's needs and to solicit
gifts for it that would enrich our
university life. There is unlimited
opportunity. The state supplies the
bare necessities of a college edu
cation but provides few of the re
finements that come from intimate
personal gifts.
Gifts Are Granted.
During the past year the univer
sity has fared quite well in the
field of gifts and donations. Two
thousand dollars was received frcm
the estate of Mrs. Margaret E.
Pomerene, former prominent Lin
coln resident, for the student loan
fund. The fund is named "The

Geologists Due At
Carlsbad, N. Mexico
The group of eight geology
students who left with Prof. E.
F. Schramm on an extended
tour of the west, Sunday, have
sent word that they will reach
Carlsbad, N. M. on Friday and
will spend their week end there
studying geologic formations
and other points of interest.
Louis W. Pomerene Student Loan
Fund."
The loan fund also received a
donation of $1,700 from the Mati
nee Musicale of Lincoln, upon the
disbanding of that organization.
The money will be used for loans
to students in the University
School of Music.
A trust fund of $6,400 has been
set up from the estate of Mr.
George W. Slade of Unadilla, N. Y.
While neither Mr. Slade nor any
of his family ever attended the
University of Nebraska, he was so
impressed with it, while living on
a farm near Albion, that he left
this sum to us.
Several estates are now pending
that include bequests to the uni
versity. Under the will of Miss
Margaret Walton of Lincoln, some
$15,000 will come to the university
for student aid purposes. The will
of Dr. Barber left $2,000 to the
university to establish a scholar
ship, while Dr. Waite left the resi
due of his estate, after the death
of his children, to Nebraska, Am
herst, and Michigan for research
work. Under the will of Emily
Page Halleck of Central City, now
being contested, the college of ag
riculture was left the proceeds of
the sale of 320 acres of farm land
in Hamilton county.
Gifts Classified.
Appropriate gifts fall into three
general groups: First, scholar
ships for especially worthy stu
dents who are mainly self suppos
ing, but who have superior mental
attainments and initiative. A little
assistance to such students while
they are struggling for success
will bear rich returns in their fu
ture contributions to society.
Second, contributions that will
enable the university to seek and
retain professors of commanding
personality who stimulate student
imagination and endeavor. Neces
sary as the drill master has
seemed to be in the life of the col
lege student, we are in far greater
need today of the teacher who can
point the way to the unborn to
morrows in our national life, stim
ulating the creative imagination
of the student.
Third, we need contributions to
our physical plant that the state
is not likely to supply. How the
student body would smile upon the
donor of a swimming pool and give
him three ringing cheers if he
were to announce such a gift to
the university, so sweetly does the
splash of water sound in the ears
of students who may not go to the
old swimming hole of our boy
hood days, but must listen to the
whining of the hot wind of the
prairie, when they long for the
cool, sweet water of the pool. Such
luxuries are enjoyed by students
of other universities, but are de
nied to ours. The cost of such
swimming pool would be about

$40,000 unless the donor had more
ambitious plans.
Arts Gallery Needed.
A fine arts gallery, as an addi
tion to Morrill hall, would house
the new exhibits in anthropology,
further extend the mueseum space,
and provide a gallery for the F. M.
Hall art collection. Morrill hall,
built by the state but endowed by
the late Mr. C. H. Morrill, is
crowded to overflowing only five
years after its completion. The
splendid gift of the Mr. and Mrs.
F. M. Hall art collection can only
be hung by displacing a student
gallery collection. Recently our
work in anthropology has proven
that Nebraska has a rich and prac
tically unknown history of its early
Indian people, buiied beneath our
soil. Material is available in
aboundance in oir. Indian sites,
awaiting a systematic study. An
addition would be about $125,000.
Our women's dormitory awaits
either legislative appropriation or
a donor who would contribute such
a fitting memorial to some loved
mother, wife, or daughter. Other
universities are recipients of such
gifts, why not the Upiversity .of
Nebraska ?
Union Building.
Last year I visited a number of
universities where the students en
joyed the privileges of- a Union
building. Nebraska waits for such
a student building. It is a large
undertaking, requiring more than
$500,000. It should be made a com
munity enterprise, calling for the
support of every alumnus. I sug
gest that the alumni fee be
changed to an amount varying
from $2 to $1,000 annually to suit
the varying conditions of affluence
of our respective alumni so that
none may be prevented from ex
ercising his generosity. All sur
plus above the cost of the alumni
organization should be placed to
the credit of the Union fund until
the sum is adequate to erect a
student union.
Of smaller gifts that would help
the university to enrich the courses
of instruction, the list is large.

$500 per year would help. Twenty
such scholarships would provide
for systematic research productive
of large economic repults. Even
one or two such scholarships would
help enlarge the usefulness of the
Graduate college. Perhaps in no
field are we more in need of re
search than in the methods of
teaching.
I could greatly enlarge upon the
opportunities open to those who
would contribute to our university
life. We need your loyalty and
support; your guidance as a
stimulant to endeavor. Then we
may hope to keep our educational
methods in touch with twentieth
century ideals.
Your friendship with the older
members of the faculty brings
them courage and happiness. Do
not forget a word of praise to
those who have contributed tot our
success.
Education is an ever-changing
stream of influences, drawing wis
dom from the experiences of our
yesterdays and pointing the way
to the forces that will determine
our tomorrows. You may help your
university bear the torch of
knowledge into undiscovered fields
and to kindle the thirst for wisdom
in the minds of youth.
