EDUCATION LEADS '
This university is progressing.
Terhaps it is new blood. Perhaps
It is new interest. Perhaps it is
merely the upswing of a normal
cycle. Whatever the stimulus is, it
is certainly a tonic for which this
institution has been in dire need.
Its affect is rapidly fulfilling the
university's greatest deficiency
intellectual atmosphere.
Despite the denunciations of
local anti-liquor leagues and pro
testations as to the amount of
Nebraska's social life, students
are accepting with approval the
predictions of restricted enroll
ment. Courses of study have
been made more comprehensive,
subjects more exacting, and ex
aminations more difficult. Pro
fessors seem to be cognizant of
a brand new and more healthful
order of things. Even the libra
rians report more popular and
continued utilization of their fa
cilities. This week-end three different
scientific organizations had re
gional or national meetings on the
campus. Not long ago the univer
sity took the lead in attempting
to thrash out one of the nation's
greatest economic problems. These
are merely recent examples of a
list of activities which have oc
curred periodically thruout the
year. The university and its fac
ulty's initiative in arranging ami
sponsoring these gatherings is in
dicative of this new. or at least,
revived, attitude. The real test,
however, is the reaction of the peo
ple of the state and of the alumni
to be graduated from this revised
standard of values.
This altered outlook is not pe
culiar to the University of Ne
braska. It is rather the general
trend of all educational thought.
The aim has been diverted from
the ruinous theory of equal edu
cation for all, to a more sensible
and advanced plan of education
according to interests and abil
ities. The method has been raised
from catering to the mentality of
the mediocre student to the as-pired-for
class of the superior
student. The best proof of the
wisdom of this change is the man
ner in which the undergraduates,
themselves the ones most serious
ly affected, have manifested ac
ceptance. These students, and the educa
tors who have led the nation in
these revisions, will never find
their theories unsound. Youth nat
urally loves . a challenge and
springs at the opportunity for ac
tion. What he loves even more is
crowning success.
A truly intellectual education,
the development of faculties for
clear thinking and logical rea
soning, can and must regain its
position as the essence of the
system. The man who develops
himself In such a manner is
aware of his success and of his
power. He is aware of the great
debt, of the unrequitable obli-

gation of the institution and to
the men who prepared him.
Here lies the secret of a man's
loyalty to his alma mater.
And here lies the secret to the
future of that alma mater. It is
not to le found only in contribu
tions, nor only in public cham
pions, nor only in spiritual sup
port; but rather in the combina
tion of all three.
It resolves itself into a neces
sary circle. The future of high
er education, yes of the nation
and Its political doctrines as
well, depends upon the output of
our educational Institutions. But
the characters of those men,
the kind and quality of their '
thinksings and reasonings, de
pends upon the Institutions
themselves.
Such institutions improve as
the quality of their instruction
and research improves. This is the
guiding principle upon which the
University of Nebraska now oper
ates. This is the basis upon which
the University of Nebraska is
pioviding to the world that it is
progressing.

As part of the pageant in honor
of the reigning queen, 9 men and
40 girls presented a style show as
the afternoon program opened, the
girls wearing the dresses they
made in home ec class. The men,

trophy for the N-st float in the
mile long parade which wound
thru down town Lincoln and
marched out to officially open the
fair Saturday morning.
Buildings were crowded all
afternoon with people viewing the
open house exhibits, and fair-goers
flocked to "Kampus Kapers," the
"stupendous, colossal mellerdram
mer," and to Mickey's Inn, which
served Ferdinand and Popeye spe
cials. Demonstrations of meat cut
ting, ice cream making, evolution
of textiles and "silk" stockings
from coal were featured in the
campus displays.
"Aaron Slick from Punk'n
Crick," starring Howard Gillaspie
of Cortland, was given another
hilarious showing in the evening,
when boxing and wrestling con
tests were put on by students.
Festivities lasted until midnight
with a dance in the activities

whole celebration, Fair Manager
Ray Cruise, from Gurley, called it
the most successful in years.
