educational institution. The idea is the best this university ha (levelopex in

He provided not only the
money, but the hope
Don U live, former mayor of this city, died a week sro this morning.
Prominent in Lincoln eivie affairs throughout his residence here, this man's
generosity went further than serving Lincoln townspeople only. Ilia bequest
to the university, whieh totaled $100,000 thiriiiK the time he lived, and which
now include a $25,000 bequest willed to the school plus the remainder of his
rotate after the will provisions have been carried out signify hi desire o help
people, to do things for others. Surely Nebraska student; appreciate his ef
fort to improve this university ami to aid those whose incomes did not allow
"them to lieeome affiliated with sororities.
Women's dormitories, and men's too, are commonplace on lmt every
big campus. This campus has yet to see a men's residence. We are inclined to
think that the idea at least, of a men's hall, is not new in the minds of the
administrators of this institution. Definite announcement or plans have not
been published nor have we any idea when they will be. It is inconceivable
that the administration which has been so efficient during the past two years
would not have doted on this project, at some time or another.
If and when men's residences become a thing of the present and pat,
erelit may well be directed at Don L. l've, whowe bequest made possible the
beginning of the entire residence system. (
It took quite a while to
get it, but it's here
The new junior division system got off to a flying start this week when
each freshman found his advisor somelhing more Ihan someone who gfiei
the schedule upjerclasNmen made out.
Such ati improvement can hardly le noted without comment. The per
gonal interest that junior division advisors are scheduled to take in their
proteges this year is Ix.und to lead to a higher elass scholastic rating, a more
determined and a more qualified group of freshmen, and an all-round better
Lets start out on
the' right foot
Seventeen hundred Nebraska university freshmen heard Chancellor C. S.
Boucher Iwgin the school year with the words "This is the last country m the
world where the torch of free education can be kept burning."
Awake to the realization that they may never finish four years of college,
aware more than ever before of a great, struggle that threatens to engulf
America, these freshmen heard Dr. Boucher describe the plight of educational
systems fhe world over and were urged to have faith in themselves aid in
those spiritual forces which were never more important than today.
New students should think over the Chancellor's address for we are sure
he never was more sincere in all his life. Across the sea, two powerful nations
wage war against each other ami threaten to draw this nation and its youUi into
the conflagration, threaten to destroy that free lorn, either temporarily or per
manently, whii-h we enjoy as Americans.
Yet, midst the worry and anxiety, there is a ray of hope, a light that
seems to shine continuously upon us. It is the light of democracy with its.
freedoms of speech, assembly, press and religion. Nothing brought to Amer
ica by internal revolution or forced upon this country by a conqueror, it is
the blood since birth of our nation. It is the one fact that makes up America,
it is the one thing above all that the 1,700 freshmen should rememU'r, think
about and stand determined to defend if necessary, to uphold always, and U
be conscious of forever.
Sordidly have many of us envisioned the disruption of our educational sys
tem in the next few months lecause of eonscript ion. Anxiously have we all
o!served the foreign developments. Hopefully have we watched the munifi
cent battle that the Knglish people are waging against Adolf Hitler. And fer
vently should we retain our belief in ihe Almighty, fervently should we pray
that when this war is over the right shall predominate, and free institutions
and democratic ideals shall onee more be established.
