Sixty-Six
Candles.
JUST sixty-six years Hgo today an Act ot the State
Legislature was signed by the governor, thereby
chartering the University of Nebraska. Today
comes a pause in the regular routine to commemo
rate the founding ot a great institution.
With one building and five faculty members,
headed by Allen R. Benton as chancellor, the uni
versity opened its doois to students Sept. 7, 1871.
"Today we open the university, without a class,
without a student enrolled," said Chancellor Benton
in his inaugural address. - Our work is a
growth; but give the University of Nebraska the
years you give our youth to come to their ma
jority " ,
And with the passing of the years, the uni
versity has come to that majority, taking its place
among the educational leaders of the country.
The first year, twenty students enrolled tor
work in the Agricultural college and Latin School.
Today that twenty has been supplanted by a daily
attendance of 5.000 to 6.000 in 10 colleges and three
schools, under a staff of hundreds of instructors.
Over 21,000 different persons have received degrees
from the university, while many others have enjoyed
the facilities of the school.
HPHE history of our great mid-western state has
been the history of the university. Hardy pio
neers staked out homesteads, turned the virgin sod,
and established the foundations for this great com
monwealth. It was not easy for our forefathers to carve
out a state. They were met on every side by dis
courasicg obstacles. Periods of prosperity were
balanced by dark periods of depression. Theirs was
a noble fight and they won.
Especially significant is the fact that within the
short period of two years after Nebraska came into
its statehood, there came thoughts of a state uni
versity. This dream soon became a reality, and the
passage of the years has brought an educationa
institution surpassing the fondest hopes.
The university in turn has met its obstacles, has
had its periods of boom and depression. It has had
its chums to stake out, its sod to break, but like the
other pioneers it has fought a noble battle.
Too much time, however, should not be spent
in retrospect, for in such manner, one is liable to
let the march of time go by unnoticed, and forget
to plan for the future. It is enough to look back
on the valiant deeds of our predecessors and take
heart.
POM the standpoint of physical growth, the uni
versity has taken Jong strides, with well laid
plans for the fut'."- But ize and material progress
cannot be used as a measuring stick for success.
One must place the educational accomplishment of

Students are too irresponsible,
Immature, and inexperienced to
handle university affairs, and
ome supervision by the faculty is
necessary, wording: to a recent
statement by Dean Scott H. Good-
The quifStio.i is too complex to

The various governing boards of
student publications, such as The
Daily Caiinal, the Octopus, and
th Ea4j?r all have faculty mem
bers who consult with the student
members on financial and man
agerial polities. Class and organ
ization dances have their finances
supervised by Ray Hilsenhoff,
while nthT faculty members serve
as advisors to the various campus

Great Men,

HREE men are
the university
Woman'a Editor
working men, men well deserving of honor by the
state.
Nebraska's senioi senator, George VV. Norrls,
who will also deliver the main address at Charter
Day exercises, has grown up with the state. When
Norris came to Nebraska in 1885 few probably
would have predicted the brilliant career for the
young man, that he has blazed thru the pages of
recent state and national history. He has secured
enactment of the Muscle Shoals act, the twentieth
"lame duck" amendment to the national constitu
tion, and the adoption by Nebraska of the uni
cameral plan for the state legislature.
DESERVED tribute also goes today to Chancellor
Emeritus Samuel Avery and to James W. Crab
tree, graduate of the university in 1908.
Entering the university in its early days, Dr.
Avery soon became a member of the faculty. In
1905 he moved up to head of the chemistry depart
ment, and in 1909 he was named chancellor of the
university. In which capacity he served the school
until health forced him out. Since that time he
has made many valuable contributions in the field
of chemical research.
Nebraska pioneer, high school principal, univer
sity graduate, university instructor, state superin
tendent. National Education association officer are
only a few of the high spots in the record of J. W.
Crabtree. He, like Norris and Avery, has watched
the state and its educational system grow from in
significance to national prominence.
NEBRASKA can well be proud of these three men.
They have served the school, state, and ration
well. It is entirely fitting that they should be
singled out by the university for special recognition.
Great men, these three.
A Penny
Whistle.
ABOUT this time of year junior hopefuls begin to
take stock ot their accomplishments in the
activity field, and wait with bated breath until the
fateful day next spring, when a select group of men
and women will be chosen to carry on the traditions
of the two senior honoraries. Some will breath
easier, having compiled what they consider a long
enough list of activities, while others will start a
frantic search for something to add to their pres
tige. It might also be well for these junior men and
women to seriously consider the question of whether
or not all the time and energy spent on activities
has been worth while. Of course, those who are
disappointed when Ivy Day rolls around will prob
ably have many regrets. But tot those who attain
the so-called heights, the question still remains has
it been worth the penny, or has another whistle been
purchased ?
There is no denying the value of many of the
extra-curricular activities. It would be Ideal if
every person in school could place himself in some
line of endeavor outside of his regular school work.
But to set up activities as a little tin god and to
place them above all else is sheer folly.

And here again Nebraska can take a bow. Not
only is the school and its faculty given high recogni

authors, business executives, governmental officials,
and others in every line are listed on the school's
alumni rolls.

on the back. Despite the drab present, it has back
of it a fighting record, and in front of it an encour
