Of Enlightened
Nationalism.
Favorir.r what he termed an
"enlightened nationalism," Dr.
William Pfeiler of the German de
partment spoke to members of
the Lincoln Ministerial association
Monday morning. He declared "an
enlightened love for your own
country helps you to understand
the love of others for their na
tion." Dr. Pfeiler, upholding hi con
tention, quoted from the Bible that
Jesus advocated that people love
themselves and care for them
selves. He went on to paint S
picture of the failure of propa
ganda for international good will.
He stated "America will never
lead the way to peace by saying,
'Look here, bow good we are, and
see how bad you are,.' With un

"Footnote to Mortality" depicts
the mental suffering of its central
character, a prison executioner.
After putting 28 of the state's
victims to death, he begins to
imagine himself as being guilty of
the murders. Dr. Mott very ably
describes the poor man's agonies
and actions as the horror of his
deeds grows upon his mind, until
he finally dies.
A new contributor to the
Schooner is Julia Anne Rogers of
Philadelphia. "Diagnosis," as her
short story Is entitled, Is a very

Librarian Takes Case to
Outstate Citizens for
Contributions.
Depicting the "hopelessly inad
equate and antiquated" condition
of Nebraska's storehouses of
knowledge, Librarian Gilbert H.
Doane launched an editorial cam
paign for financial aid in the May
issue of the Nebraska Alumnus.
In an article headed "An Open
Letter From the Librarian," Mr.
Doane directs his plea to outstate
citizens, who may aid in building
the library thru the newly-created
University Foundation.
"We are allowing generation
after generation of our students
to graduate from the University
without finding out what a library
is," he charges, "what it means
to know books and to see them
fittingly housed. The present
building is so old, its facilities so
inadequate, its staff so short
handed that students do not come
to the library unless they are
forced to by insistent professors;
the faculty as a whole is reluctant
to insist upon outside reading, be
cause it knows that the library
cannot supply the books, has not
seating capacity for the students,
and not enough trained librarians
to properly serve them.
Students Turned Away.
"Reading maketh a full man,"
and the ability to use books is
one of the most obvious marks
of an educated man. Yet our stu
dents read but little, mainly be
cause they have so little oppor
tunity to read in the library. There
is no attractive reading room
where a student can browse in
the great body of literature which
is our heritage and become inti
mately acquainted with the great
books of the world.
"We need not only a modern
library building on the city
campus and endowment funds for
books and library administration,
but also a separate library build
ing on the agricultural college
