Foundation
Miss Nellie J. Compton
Leaves Cash, Securities
To University Library
Cash and securities amounting
to nearly $t,000 have been received
by the university foundation from
the estate of Miss Nellie J. Comp
ton, for 40 years one of the most
valued associates In the university
library; who for practically the en
tire period held the rank of
assistant librarian or acting li
brarian. She was a graduate of
the university in the class of IS'Jli.
Miss Compton, who died on
March 18, 1938, chose that the in
come from the funds should be
used for the benefit of the library
staff, including the payment of
expenses of the under member of
the staff for attendance at na
tional or state library meetings,
for added pleasure or comfort in
library rooms or at staff meet
ings, or for flowers and plants,
pictures and art objects for li
brary staff rooms. The bend li
brarian and the heads of any two
library departments to be chosen
annually by majority vote of the
entire professional staff of the
university libraiy will be a com
mittee to determine the expend
iture of the income.
Symbol of Devotion.
"Those of us who knew Miss
Compton realize that this bequest
represented not only a certain sum
of money which she hoped would
be used advantageously, but that
it also symbolized the rare devo
tion to and affection for the uni
versity, and particularly its li
brary; which was the motivating
influence thruout most of her life."
stated President Victor Smith of
the university foundation.
Two years ago Miss Compton
published in the Nebraska Alum-
thejnus her memories and impressions,
particularly of the university li
brary. "I had planned to teach
modem languages, to go from one
place to another, learning of life
and the world as I worked. 1 had

nnd she and Miss Robbins both
urged me to taJte up lihrarv work
telling me I h&fr the Tight qualities
to make a good librarian, I ac
cepted their judgment and the po

the same library four decades."

Allison Talks
On Far East
Student Council Sets
i Forum for 1 1 Tuesday
John M. Allison. American con
sul at Nanking, China, will speak
next Tuesday morning at 11
o'cl -m k in room 315 of the Union.
I at the student council's second
, forum. Mr. Allison says that he
will keep the floor open for ques
tions but that he will not enter
into any political discussion of the
present Chinese situation, since his
i official position prevents his mak-
! ing any opinionated statements.
In view of the 11 years he has
spent in the far east. Mr. Allison
promises to be an Interesting
speaker. Last .lanuniy Allison
made headlines when he received
a slap on the face from a Japanese
sentry in Nanking. An apology
was made later by Japanese of-
i ficials for the uncalled for insult.
: Among other positions, he has
served as vice consul at Tokyo
, and American embassy secretary
