ADDRESS.
Three score and nine years ago,
our forefathers brought forth
upon this campus a new charter
conceived while at liberty and
dedicated to the proposition that
all men may be created free and
equal but some have more bums
than others and therefore should
get a chance to develop them at
an accredited, legalized univer
sity.
Now we are engaged - in a
great civil war between the stu
dents on one hand and the fac
ulty on the other, or vice versa,
testing whether that charter, or
any charter so conceived and so
dedicated can long endure. We
are met on a great battlefield,
famous for its football teams.
Dr. Pound, Willa Cather and
Dorothy Canfield Fisher, of that
war. We have come to dedicate
a portion of that field for those
who here gave the best years
of their lives that that charter
and this university might live.
It is altogether fiting and proper
that we should do this but in a
larger sense we cannot dedicate,
w cannot consecrate, we cannot
hallow this ground. We can't even
grow grass on it.
The brave men, living, dead,
or passed on to more lucrative
battlefields, consecrated it and
hallowed it far above our poor
power to add or detract. Or
multiply with logarithms.
It is not for us, the living, the
classroom incumbents, to be here
dedicated to that cause which
those who taught here have thus
far so nobly advanced. It Is rather
for us to be here dedicated to the
greater work remaining before us
that of amassing enough hours
to graduate.
From these honored pioneers
we draw increased devotion for
that cause for which they gave
their full measure of devotion;
we highly resolve that these
trail-blazers shall not have
taught in vain and that govern
ment for the students, of the
students, and by the regents
shall prevail, the student coun
cil notwithstanding.

Annexation or Rejection
Problem Comes to Head
Today Says. Long.
The Board of Regents will meet
this afternoon, and one of the most
important proposals as far as the
students are concerned will come
before it in the form of its rejec
tion or adoption of the Great
Cathedral Choir as a v-iversity
organization.
According to a letter written to
the Student Council hv Stanley 1
Long, president of the board, the
problem will definitely be settled
today.
The question of the Choir's be
coming a part of the university
gained momentum about a week
ago when members of the Student
Council found that the organiza
tion, which is composed of 90 per
cent university students, would
become the Umversity of Ne
braska Cathedral Choir if only a
room was furnished for it. Coun
cil members immediately present
ed a petition to the Board of
Regents asking their adoption to
