"The only way to curb inflation
in the present vr.r is to place a
ceiling on wages," Dr.-H. C. Filley,
chairman of rural economics at ag
college, told Nebraska Historical
society members in annual meet
ling at the capitol yesterday.
Speaking on "Prices and Presi
dents," Filley pointed out that
;'tho increase in wage rates to
more than triple pre-World war I
has already resulted in an increase
in the cost of producing goods."
These increases in production
costs, he said, arc necessarily re
flected in increased prices,
i' "Each increase in price reduces
,tlv purchasing power of all thr
d)Ilais secured as wages. If srd
ferios and wages are increased so

Campus History Revealed

learned in conducting freshman
tours last week).
By Mary Thorns.
Lying about the campus so un
obtrusively that few of the wise
and aged seniors know of their
existence are many relics of the
past which contribute to that well
known volume known as "campus
history."
A tour of these land marks and
relics provides many interesting
tales for the interested visitor.
Take heed of these for they are
things that make interesting tell
ing in retrospect.
Many have seen the large rock
lying between the library and ad
ministration building, but few
know of its history. This rock
was excavated near Hartington,
Nob., by a university expedition
and brought to this campus.
The queer impressions upon the
rock were figures thought to be
the imprints of birds' feet, but
have been proved to be hyrogly
phics, an ancient Egyptian written
language.
Fountain Was Gift.
Few students ever notice the
fountain between the library and
administrattion building, or the
love seat between U hall and
the library, but there is a story
behind them.
Both are gifts to the univer
sity by past graduating classes.
The class of 1906 presented the
love seat, and the drinking foun
tain was a gift from the class of
1900. The love seat had to be
reset some time ago because the
tre in the center grew to such
proportions that its roots cracked
the gift.
There are two other trees be
tween the library and U hall, both
of them memorial trees. The tree
with the small black iron fence
around it is a linden tree brought
to this country by Dr. Fossler
from the famous street in Berlin,
Untor den Linden.

She served as housemother at

Mrs. Hill was active in several
of the departments of the Lincoln
Woman's club and has been an

gational church. -
Mr. and Mrs. Hill were pioneers
in western Nebraska and moved
to Lincoln in 1900. They entered
into civic and social affairs imde

circles.

partment and ot.-e of the most be
loved university professors of all
times, the tree was dedicated in
memory to him.
Along the wall near U hall is
a small rock which escapes most
students attention. This rock
covers the ashes of Dr. Lees, an
other beloved Nebraska profes
sor. As a professor of Greek his
office and classrooms faced this
view of the campus, and before
his death he asked to be buried
in that spot.
Duriag his time U hall still had
its three stories and the bell
tower, but the building was be
ginning to deteriate. It was upon
his insistence that the bulging
walls were reinforced with the
iron rods still visible in the pres
ent building.
Bell Still ings.
The bell which hung in the U
hall tower, used formerly to call
students to their classes, is now
used as a Victory bell for our
athletic games. This bell always
heads the pep rsllys.
Besides being the first building
on the Nebraska campus, U hall
holds another first distinction.

Tassel Finds
This building's cornerstone was
the first ccrnerslone placed by the
Masonic lodge of Nebraska.
Thousands of women students
have attended physical education
classes in Grant Memorial, but
probably few of them have known
that this building is dedicated to
the former University of Nebraska
men who lost their lives in the
Civil and Spanish-Americans wars.
The east end of the building is
dedicated to the casualties of the
Civil War, and the west end is
in memorium to those in the Spanish-American
War.
The new library and the field
house are not the only unfinished
buildings on the city campus. The
third building which is still in
complete and most certainly will
be finished is former museum. The
bricked up corridors at the west
side of the building were in
tended to lead into one of the
ther three sections of an E
shaped building.
At the time of its construction
former museum was to have been
the main building on the existing
campus, but only the southern
most wing wasever completed.
