'38 Cornliusker Shows State's 'Place in Sun' Cornliusker Pays Honor to Faculty In Brief Sketches Tribute Is paid In the new Corn husker to a few of the loyal members of the Nebraska faculty who have stuck with the school and have helped It to attain its rightful place in the sun. Counter acting the rumor that all of the good professors are gone or going, twenty thumbnail sketches cf dis tinguished professors, with their pictures, appear as one or tlie unusual and fitting features of the book. The brief descriptions of the Men of First Importance" sketch Dr. Pool, botany head; kmd- heaited Dr. Condra; H. G. Dom ing, chemist; cigar smoking Frank Schramm; Dr. E. H. Barbour, heading geology and museums; nervous Dr. Scott; Dr. Shumate; genial Major Spcer; Dr. J. P. Scnnlng, unicameral legislative authority; Dr. J. B. Burt, dis coverer in medicine; dynamic C. J. Frankforter; and high strung, handsome Wilbur Chenoweth. Completing the Cornhusker's selection for the ranks of the mighty arc Dr. R. C. Clapp, member of Olympic delegation; O. R.

Dedicated in picture and in phrase to a portrayal of Nebras ka s place in the sun, the 1938 Cornhusker will show .students how their state and school touch and influence the rest of the world when the annual makes its appear ance tomorrow. From Shanghai to Egypt, via steamship and China Clipper, have come letters to the 1938 Cornhusk er from recent alumni of our alma mater who personally are carrying the influence and good name of Nebraska into foreign ports and distant outposts. Pictures of these alumni and portions of their let ters are reproduced. r thrtiout tb .. book typically illustrate the Cojjfaq nusKer "sun memc, and the nit symbol of the rising sun with Axtec rays shines from the digni fied cover, the frontispiece, and nearly every page in the unusual rust ink that was specially blend ed for the 1938 yearbook. The cream and rust tones used in the book make it probably Lhc most colorful and alive annual that Ne braska has ever seen. Nebraska Who's Who. That Nebraska has a 'definite place in the sun will be the firm conviction of the readers of the yearbook when they see for the first time in the Cornhusker their own list of the Nebraska names In the news and of the University of Nebraska men and women who have graduated to places in the Who's Who in America. Howard Lynch, business manager, has in cluded this most interesting infor mation in his advertising sections. To further comply with the cos mopolitan air of the book, Editor Clayton, in contrast to former ed itors who tried to make their book only about Nebraska and in Ne braska, has gone outstate to find the best in paper; engraving, pho tography, and art for his contribu tion to the volumes of Nebraska Cornhuskers. Photography is the pride of the new book. Pictures replace wotis ami pictures replace drawings. addition, the pictures arc mainh of action, not pose; are taken out- of-doors. not in the studio: and are W' quite thoroly representative of life at the University of Nebraska. The fraternity section, for the first lime, shows members of the chap ters in informal groups. The foot ball team is not pictured in front of velure drapes, but out on the field running, tackling, kicking, or falling, just what they were doing in an actual game when the candid camera man clicked his box. Comment Informational. What printed comment there is in this annual, tho touching occa sionally on the ironical, is mainly in the form of information. Sta-. tistics are given, as an innovatio ror an or the cornhusker atniejnc events. A personal and general Index, summing up the wide scope of the book, shows that 3,500 faces of students, alumni, and faculty ap pear at least once and often many times.
