Wc Nebraska, creatures of the noil perforce, rejoice when It is cloudy overhead, whon Jupiter Pluvlus drenches the world, anil after the deluge -smile and look for better business. Clearing skies bring out rolorful joviality: dan delions swarm the greensward, new porrli furniture dots sorority lawns, ankle socks abound, nnd the enhenrtened rnmpus files en masse for the student council. The earth Is Rood, it Is our life. But sometimes, It seems to us, It Is good to get off the earth, good for even soil souls. We need to get a perspective on the teeming dirt we keep our noses In, and watch Mother Na ture from afar. If life is a mlr acie In the minute detail of close observation, It Is Indeed thrice wonderful In grand-scoped ob jectivity. From the air. the rolling irreg ular fields look neatly laid out, of a level. The fresh turned loam blends its rusty blackness with the preening cultivated areas, the prey tan of soil awaiting the plow. Buildings, vehicles diminish in un seemly gaudiness of bue, and re tire to their proper proportion in the scheme of things. A man-made drainage canal, an impressive feat at close hand, becomes an ugly, running, jagged gash in the land scape, and the Fides of the wound, great banks of sterile clay, re semble puffy, lifeless scar tissue. It all seems so relative from the air. The cloud shadows, which on the earth we shiver and curse at, form a fascinating, ever changing design of light and shade from the air. The clouds themselves, and the sky, seem infinitely more imx.lv from inst underneath or just above untainted mist for men to dream on. As for humanity, rushing hectically, headlong no where -the most reckless rush is slowed, snall's-pacely, from up on high. And the thoroughfares, leading hither and whither for land-bound travelers, magically straighten, and find a destination. Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick recently wrote that the greatest worriments of the human race l.iy In our refusal to accept our selves as we are. We resent, rather than recognize our limi tations. We inflate our Infinitis i iml portion of the world's work, and then rail at the Fates be cause we can't break the eternal laws of the universe. From even a comparatively low altitude, a man is but a barely perceptible speck in the vast picture. There are those restless, soaring spirits who are never content with accomplishing the do-able. They must attempt the impossible. Of such is the history of civilization written. Yet the greathearts wisely made best use of the tools at their command a flaming pen, a flash ing scepter. With feet firmly rooted in the good earth of their talents and opportunity they could make the vision of their cloud crowned heads immortal for the earth-bound of all the ages. So too might we little fry best bless our good earth. I Graduate Botany Student Receives Set of Books For Achievement. Miss Irene M.
