FOR
CHILDREN
Associates of the Late Frederick
G. Collins Recall Traits of Well
Known Assistant Museum Curator
At the University of Nebraska,
he was known as Frederick C. Col
lins, assistant curator of the mu
seum. His was a familiar figure,
walking across the campus, read
ing In the library, talking to visi
tors. To Dr. E. N. Barbour, his thief
and associate at the museum, he
was a man of great scholarship,
vet one who attracted thousands
because of his delicacy of fooling
and subtle sense of humor.
To radio listeners his was a voice
with a pleasant quality, intelligent,
agreeable. Interesting which now
and then seemed to smile thru the
microphone.
To Gilbert E. Doane, university
librarian, Mr. Collins was among
the best-read men of his acquain
tance, and one who could best
touch off a point of humor.
Those who served him at the
e'ub, said. "Oh. he was such a nice
man. We liked to wait on him."
The world called him. "that
nd little Englishman." And
John Esley. University of Nebraska
tudent found him a man with
whom to travel, to talk, to read:
man with a sparkling sense of
oumw. who loved nature, mn. and
JKks; a man to whom life was an
mterestiag adventure.

PLAN FOR ARMORY
Assails Stud?nt Pacifist
Movement on Campus;
Historian Talks.
Assailing student pacifist move
ments on the campus, Wallace B.
Hodge, national historian of the
United Spanish War Veterans sup
ported plans for a new armory on
the Nebraska campus in an ad
dress to veterans of the William
Lewis camp Fridav evening.
Mr. Hodge, of Jefferson City,
Missouri, is a past department
commander in his state. A former
Nebraskan, and a cavalryman in
the Spanish-American war. Mr.
Hodge flayed the round robin
agreements being circulated in the
American colleges pledging stu
dents not to take up arms in the
self-defense of the nation. He ex
pressed himself soundly in favor of
adequate national defense. Homer
Ramsey, state commander from
York, presided at the meeting.
Five summers ago John started
helping on his school expenses by
driving: for Mr. and Mrs. Collins
when they took their vacation
trips. One year iney arove lu
ciifin iou- ihev KDent some
time in the rich museum lands of
western Nebraska: and me lasi
two summers tbey have driven to
Estes park.
Spend Hours Reading.
John liked to read, and Mr. Col
lins liked to listen. They began
on short articles in periodicals,
and one day the older man asked
if they shouldn't start reading a
book. After that the two would
sit hour after hour in some cool,
shady spot. They would be going
thru several books at once. Per
haps the life of a famous natur
alist would occupy the reading
time until they grew tired, then
they would turn to lighter works
for rest and variety.
Nearly every evening, and often
in the afternoon of last summer,
the younger man who read, and
the older man who listened, could
be seen striking off thru the moun
tains, up some rocky trail, or
along some dashing stream. A pile
of rocks a short way from camp

BOARDS
SET DATE FOR
ANNUAL PARTY
Willa Norris Has Charge of
Arrangements; Have Not
Secured Orchestra.
REVERSE 'USUAL ORDER
Event Is Now Traditional;
First Started in 1932 As
Leap Year Affair.
Friday, December 15, has been
set as the date for the annual Mor
tar Board party to be held at the
Coliseum. Willa Norris, president
of Mortar Board, is. in general
charge of arrangements. No def
inite arrangement for an orchestra
has been made as yet, but plans
are under way to secure an out-of-town
band.
At this party the natural order
of things is reversed and the girls
instead of the boys act as hosts.
They buy the tickets, call the boys
for "dates, call for them the night
of the party, and pay for refresh
ments. Established Custom.
The idea was first started in
1932, which was a leap year. The
party is now traditional and is
held annually. It is quite an elabor
ate affair, and some houses have
even established a custom of hold
ing a dinner before the party.
This year the party promises to
be an even more novel and success
ful affair than last year. Tickets
will go on sale after Thanksgiving.

'"Of course all the good writing.
I mean writing that is really

from New York, or Boston or per

Today we might answer. "Oh.
Yeah?" But this conversation all
took place a few years ago. and in
those days, such may have been
the case. Not so today. In fact, not
during the last seven years. Nj
longer does the world believe that
the Midwest the "cow country"
is inhabited only by unsuccessful
easterners, by gun toting cowboys,
and "heap big Injuns." The world
has learned that culture and the
