Building
Universities.
Four professors, sixty years ago, trm-Jol
-a-lew score of students as they tnterod Uni
versity hall, classic architectural marvel of an
early prairie aire. Approximately five hundred
faculty members extcudeJ the warm hands of
- welcome to some six thousand knowledge seek
I"crs at this recent registration date, six decades
- later. v
That, It is pointed out. is the greatest in-
dieat 10ns 01 success to whieh an institution can
point. On September 7. S71. the huiMiug thnt
opened its doors to 130 students, of whom
twenty were qualified as collegians, was but a
.good sized high school which would stand no
how beside modern intellectual arenas of grade
-whool type. Today the outer limits of the city
campus alone confine structures that imitate a
small city." 'Millions of'dollars are invested.
Growth of the University of Nebraska has
been phenomenal. Less than two generations
ago even the most optimistic and enthusiastic
of school minded individuals would have
balked at the thot of creating a monster such
as is harbored in Lincoln for the purpose of
handing out sheepskins on a wholesale scale.
An inKtructional staff of a mere handful did
Jhe business then; now, the system has become
so complicated that one wonders how some of
the departments or divisions can help but turn
up missing in the general swill, as the campus
wag would express it.
- From a Latin school, where naueht but
learned subjects were given an airing, and the
first College of Ancient and Modern Langu
ages, Mathematics and Natural Science, have
evolved ten colleges plus several srhools and
substations, located over the state. From a
graduating class of two men in 1873. enroll
ment has been swelled to the extent that an
nually nearly 1,000 men and women parade in
cap and gown as finished products ready for
a world of living.
That ia not only a history of growth ami
advancement in the university, but it is a re
flection of the change taking place 111 Nebrask
as a state and in the middlew est. Colleges of
the cast yet surpass in many things, but few
surpass in modern equipment or 111 size. East
em schools have see and history tar more
penetrating than that of Nebraska. Thev have
many more prominent alumni a:d greater en
dowed wealth. They do not, however, offer
more in the way of modern educational advan
tages, physical equipment. Thru their wealth
they are able to secure and hold able instruc
tors for longer periods than Nebraska finds
possible. They arc to be congratulated for
that; Nebraska, perhaps, to be criticized. But
that is not the present purpose. It is an en
deavor here to point to the undrenmed of ad
vantages that Nebraska, in the short time of
sixty years, has been enabled to offer in com
petition to supposed greater schools which
have existed for a century or two.
From Chancellor Henton to Chancellor
Burnet, the driving force has been to build a
greater university, dreatness has been
achieved in many respects. It will be achieved
in many i. ore. And it has failed in others,
much to the disappointment of those whose
driving force has been Mrnngcst. Nebraska
suffers from a depopulation of great instruc
tors. The desire to offer public education to
thousands may have led the directors of this
institution blindly on to supplying adequate
equipment to carry out that purpose. Ne
braska does have good instructors, but she
needs more of them; and she must arrange to
retain those she secures. Nothing wholly sub
stantial can come from a faculty shot with the
loopholes of departed wise ones.
Nebraska will go onward, but she must go
upward, as well.
Not to forget about the heat, but it has just
een learned that, except in case of emer
gency, Eskimos really dou t build ice houses.

Is it the heat or the classes that bring on
dog days?
Frethmenl
On the Spot!
Hon your caps, freshmen! But be sure
they are scarlet and cream!
Nebraska freshmen, heretofore, have worn
the traditional green. Now it is hoped that
even more favorable impressions will be made
with a proposed traditional red and white.
The unintellectual lawn colors have given way
to a flaring of the college brilliants, such as
the brawny ones carry onto ihc gridiron. Be
daubed skulls arc meant to parade in new re
galia this season.
It is open season on freshmen, for the
tradition must be carried on. Every True Conr
husker has come with the hopes of becoming
known on the campus as an honest-to-goodness
booster of the university. His earliest and best
chances were to wear his freshman cap, for
then he was marked as a man of possibilities,
not as one who was "washed up."
Fraternities and other organizations arc
asked to co-operate in continuing the tradition
dearest to freshmen.
Fifteen regularly enrolled Uni
versity of Nebraska students were
members of a botany class which
was conducted by Dr. R. J. Pool

included animal and bird bablts as
well as geological formations in
addition to the regular study of
mountain flora.
An advanced course, known as
Botany 201C, was taken by a few

By far the greater part of the
time was spent out of doors. Two
regular class periods were con
ducted, however, a lecture being
held each morning and another in
the evening.
The regular order of events
called for three full day excur
sions during the week. These trips
took the students into the very
heart of Rocky Mountain National
park. Half day field trips ap
peared on the program on alter
nate days. Two overnight hikes
were inserted during the summer's
work.
