Welcome,
JAVif Students.
With assiduousness and perse
verance many educators from
various parts of the state, as well
as other graduate students, will
continue their study this summer
with a view to attaining learning
and higher degrees. Others win
take advantage of the summer ses
sion to work for their first oe
gree. For all, the approaching va
cation period will be spent at work.
.The Nebraskan admires the desire
to learn as expressed by those en
tering the summer session, and
extends to all a welcome to the
university campus.
Outstanding professors from col
leges in all parts of the United
States have consented to teach as
members of the University of Ne
braska faculty this summer and,
with the regular university teach
ing staff, it is possible for the ad
ministration to offer a large num
ber and variety of subjects under
skilled instructors. This season,
too, university students and faculty
members will participate in the
third annual educational confer
ence. The conference this summer
which will concern itself with cur
riculum construction and guidance
in both elementary and secondary
schools, will undoubtedly be of in
terest to many students enrolled in
the summer session.
In order that the program for
the summer may not be composed
entirely of scholastic activity, or
ganized social activities have been
arranged. In addition to parties
and picnics, planned each year for
summer school students, students
may participate in various sports
activities, including games and
swimming in the university pool.
The aim of the Nebraskan dur
ing this summer term shall be pri
marily to aid both faculty mem
bers and students by keeping them
informed of the varied campus
i-ctivities that the summer ad
ministration has undertaken to
provide.
Offered free to all those attend
ing the session, The Nebraskan
should become a forum for discus
sion of controversial subjects that
may arise during the course of the
short, but none the less active,
period. For this purpose, it offers
the student pulse column, and asks
those with definite opinions on sub
jects of campus interest to express
them for the benefit of other read
ers. It is only by such expression
cf opinion, The Nebraskan feels,
that real development and im
provement can come, not only for
the individual but for the univer
sity as a whole. j

and shuffle off the responsibility
of teaching youth the real labor
of thinking and to place emphasis
entirely on training for power
have long met criticism from
those who would perfect the in
dividual and instill in him a dis
ciplined and tempered judgment.
These tendencies it is the univer
sity's duty to check.
As one critic has expressed it,
the educated are beginning more
and more to realize the inadequa
cies of education. U is the uni
versity students, and those who
have been university students, who
can understand, more clearly than
any other group, the inadequacies
of the colleges of America. It is,
therefore, primarily their duty to
bring about an improvement .n
existing conditions.
The university is, In the opinion
of The Nebraskan, laudably demo
cratic. Especially is this true in
the summer when in the short pe
riod of time, the new student finds
that he has acquired many ac
quaintances and friends. It is not
tnis that The Nebraskan feels is
tacKing in the university's makeup.
Nor does it deplore any lack ot
opportunity for scholastic advance,
tor the university does not dis
criminate ana everyooay is given
a chance. It is even sometimes
true, in the opinion of I he Ne
brasKan, that instructors spend so
much ot their time assisting tnose
who have difficulty getting "by"
in courses with omy a slignt un
derstanding, that tney have no
tune nor energy left to use tor the
benefit of the real thinkers.
The Nebraskan agrees in part
with one of America s great crit
ics, Irving Babbitt. It is true tnat
"college is not so much to uplift
a few, but to train the many";
however, in this democratic uni
versity are not the technical sub
jects justified as a training for
monetary success? The Nebraskan
believes that for many, such train
ing is justifiable and fit; for oth
ers, it is necessary to provide a
more adequate education.
It is for the "otners'' that the
articles of incorporation for the
University of Nebraska foundation
were filed recently. Several con
tributions have already been made
to the foundation, and the pro
gram, now being carried out suc
cessfully in many universities, is
indeed a step in the right direc
tion. It proposes to "foster cul
tural features which the taxpayer
does not consider as fundamental
as the vocational types of educa
tion which more or less seem to
dominate our educational policies."
It is obviously not intended that
the foundation shall relieve the
state legislature of responsibility
for the support of the university.
The 30 incorporators, who will
serve as members of the board of
trustees cf the non-profit organi
zation, have set forth the purposes
of the foundation in the articles of
incorporation. It wil I "aid the
University of Nebraska by the
solicitation of gifts or real or per
sonal property and accept gifts,
devises, and bequests of real or
personal property and hold and
administer them as trustees for
the use and benefit of the Univer
sity of Nebraska."
Provision is made for a board
of 53 members, including five ex-

otticio members, who will serve
until in February, 1942, or until
their successors are elected and
qualified. The ultimate object is
to have six year terms with one
third of the board retiring every
two years. Those named ex-officio
members are the chancellor of the
university, the president of the
alumni association, the president
of the alumni loyalty fund coun
cil, and one member of the board
of regents of the university.
Complete control of the invest
ment and reinvestment of funds
shall be in the hands of an execu
tive committee of seven persons,
including the president of the
board of trustees, ex-officio, and
six members elected by the trus
tees from their membership, unless
inconsistent with the terms and
conditions cf the particular dona
tions. Subject to certain limita
tions, the money and property may
be expended in any manner and
any purpose that may aid the
university. The articles of incor
poration set the limits of the fund
which at any time shall be in the
hands of the corporation as 25
million dollars.
Whether the foundation can be
of practical service to the univer
sity in furthering its cultural in
terests depends, of course, on the
interest shown and the contribu
tions made by friends of the in
stitution. It is the beginning of
what may become a large under
taking, and it shows the spirit of
the school in wishing to advance
its own cultural interests.

of the East St. Louis & Suburban
company, the Peoples Railway
company, and the Stevens & Wood
Management & Engineering com
pany. He also served as president
of the Ameiican Electric Railway
association. He has been active as
JC-ceiver in the reorganization of
numerous public utility companies.
Sawyer's work as a consulting
engineer has been quite interna
tional in scope and includes as
signments to England, Cuba and
Australia. One of these foreign
activities, his assignment to re
port on the Victorian electricity
commission was most noteworthy.
He spent six months in Australia
on this work for the Victorian
government and at that time was
given a loyal commission, this be
ing regarded as a most distin
guished honor in the British em
pire and a distinction never pre
viously, in Australia, acorded an
American.
Altho Sawyer's earlier expe
rience was prim aril in the elec
trical engineering field where he
was a pioneer in the development
of electrical railroads, his activities
have constantly bioadened, and
today he is recognized riot only as
one of the leading electrical en
gineers of the country but as an
outstanding executive and consul
tant. He is a fellow of the Amer
ican Institute of Electrial Engi
neers and a member of the Amer
ican Society of Mechanical Engi
neers. 60c
