Fellow Students:
I address you thus quite sincerely, and
not C3 a mere pleasantry with tcnguc in check.
This means that I realize that we can attain
our common educational objectives only when
acuity and administrative staff menders, as'
well as you, play the role of the student in the
fullest meaning of the word.
The University of Nebraska is a grand in
stitution with a glorious tradition. We shall be
untrue to the faith and trust placed in us if we
do not at all times keep this in mind. By work
ing together honestly and intelligently, and by
playing together just as enthusiastically, we
can have a most pleasant and profitable year.
C. S. BOUCHER.

The 1937 state legislature gave

As a result counties were required
by statute to make out real Ixidg

failure of the budget law Is found
