porter was Nebraska's new bizad
dean, John D. Clark.
Those wre the days. It was
that year that the university fi
nally forced private interests out
of control of the Daily and insti
tuted a publication board. And
1905 was the year when the Ne
braskan first came out in blaz
ing red ink. The occasion was the
reporting of a sensational, and
very "hot" news story. As a mat
ter of fact, Dean Clark reports,
the story was so hot that every
copy of the paper was stolen be
fore it could be distributed to the
subscribers.
Class Rivalry.
According to Clark, one of the
greatest differences between
campus activity of today and that
of 36 years ago is the disappear
ance of class organization and
class solidarity. Freshman-sophomore
and junior-senior rivalry was
very keen in 1905; but "an en
livening" affair says Clark.
There were all kinds of class
competition, even interclass foot
ball championships. "We really
used to batter each other" the
dean reports. As a matter of fact
the 1905 editor bears a battle
scar on one of his fingers, per
manent souvenir of the "batter
ing." '
Speaking about the social at
titude of today and yesterday,
Clark pointed out that his day
was the day of frankness. And
the Nebraskan was a frank news
paper. Said Clark, "Those were
the carefree days when social con
sciousness was practically ab
sent, among college students and
the general public also." "There
was none of today's key hole gos
sip," he says.
