In the Beginning
Entering its 50th year of publication, The Daily Ne
braskan, better known as the "Rag," finds the University
as stimulating as ever.
As a powerful instrument of the student body, it real
izes the importance of the role it must play.
It deplores the necessity of an interim council it thinks
that students deserve a representative group through which
they can give voice to their problems, their gripes, their
proposals.
It feels that only through a powerful and permanent
council can the students be represented to the faculty and
administration. It thinks the faculty and administration
should realize this fundamental necessity of the student
body.
The Daily Nebraskan sees as its prime purpose the
Betterment or tne students' lot. Needless to say, it is all
for a better University, an undefeated football team, and
greater harmony between the students and the adminis
tration. After lengthy deliberation, it resolves to go on record
as approving the Mueller carillon tower, certainly an addi
tion to the beauty and atmosphere of the campus. Far be it
from us to look a gift horse in the mouth.

Freshmen Will 'Race With
Champions'-Dr. Bailer
. A "race with champions" was
promised to some 2,000 freshman
students last Friday at the annual
freshman convocation.
. Dr. Warren R. Bailer, dean of
the university's Junior Division,
warned the entering students that
they would meet a great deal of
competition in scholarship.
Top Freshman Scholars.
He told them that three-fourths
of the freshman class ranked
scholastically in the top half of
their high school graduating
classes last spring. One-fifth of
the freshman ranked scholastically
either first, second, third or
fourth in their classes, and nearly
200 of the freshmen were the No.
1 scholars of their graduating
classes.
"Your splendid high school
scholastic record makes one thing
clear," said Dr. Bailer. "You are
about to enter a race with cham
pions. Even a student of top abil
ity may soon find himself out of
'the running if he gets off to a
bad start in this kind of com
pany." Goal Is Orderly Development
The dean told the freshman,
"I do not wish to place heavy
emphasis upon the competitive

Dr. Philip L. Kelly is the new

son announced Tuesday.
He succeeds H. P. Davis, de
partment head since 1921, whose
request to be relieved of the de
partmental administrative re
sponsibilities was recently ac
cepted by the Board of Regents.
Mr. Davis will remain on the
staff as professor of dairy hus

to teaching and research.
Dakota Alum.
Dr. Kelly came to Nebraska
from the University of South
Dakota State college, where he
has been dairy department head
since 1945. Dr. Kelly is well
known for his research in di

character of scholarship. The real
goal is something more important
than staying in the race with
other good students. It is the
definite and orderly development
which an individual achieves in
surroundings which are ideal for
growth.
"This idea of definite and or
derly developemnt seems to me
to tie the present to the future;
it helps one avoid the notion that
today and tomorrow are unre
lated, that what one does in these
busy, fast-moving months of col
lege life has little connection
with the future beyond college.
Greetings From Officials
"What you do in the continued
development of scholarly ways
and broad understandings and
sympathies has a very real con
nection with the world beyond
college. The world in which we
live depends for the solving of
its hardest problems upon the
disciplined, sensitive minds of college-educated
men and women."
Greetings to the students were
extended by Chancellor R. G.
Gustavson, Dr. G. W. Rosenlof,
director of admissions, presided.

student life were introduced.
have secured the services of Dr.
Kelly," Chancellor Gustavson
said. "His background in both
teaching and research have been
all at midwestern schools, which
will enable him to readily orient
himself with the dairy industry's
problems in Nebraska."
Praises Work.
The Chancellor praised the
work of Prof. Davis as depart
ment head. During his 28 years
at Nebraska Prof. Davis became
nationally recognized in dairying
and honors conferred upon him
include U.S. delegate to World
Dairy Congress in "Berlin in 1937
and member of the U.S. Exec
utive Committee to the Inter
national Congress on Physiology
and Pathology of Reproduction
of Animals held in Italy in 1948.
Dr. Kelly is a native of Wis
consin. He received his B.Sc.,
M.S. and Ph.D. degrees at the
University of Minnesota, al
though part of his work was
taken at Cornell University.
From 1930 to 1932 he was in

of the UniverSi7 of Minnesota,
