Top NROTC
Midshipmen
By Amy Palmer
One of the traditions that this
University seems to have lost
somewhere along the way is the
presentation of a gift from the
senior class.
Perhaps it's due to lack of in
terest and time; maybe it's just
bankruptcy among the members
of the graduating class. No one
knows for sure, but it has been
quite a while since any gifts
were given.
It all started in 1892 when the
twelve graduates brought forth
a huge rock with the year of
their graduation on it. It wasn't
expensive, but it was certainly
lasting.
The Buried Manument
On that day there were prob
ably a lot of people who stood
around thinking, "Now what can
we do with that monstrosity?"
Practical jokers answered the
question six years later when
they dug a hole and pushed the
monument in, almost covering
it.
A letter to a member of the
1892 class about the incident
brought back this reply: "Let the
dead past bury its dead."
Each class after that, although
they didn't give a gift, did have
a briet ceremony in wnicn tney
those davs there were never
more than fifty in the class and
so- that wasn't much of a task.
In 1894, during class day ac
tivities, spirit picked up, and
there was a short skit by the
Mandolin club. That sort of thing
seems to live on, even if the
gifts don't.
Old Spirit Revived
By 1901, graduates had the old
school back and proudly pre
sented to the University their
departing gift, pictures or the
six chancellors who had been at
Nebraska since 1871.
More pictures were hung in
1905 when an oil portrait of A.H.
Elgren, famous scholar and phil
ologist, -was presented to help
carrv on the memory of the class
of '05.
The class of 1906 was a bit
more practical, as all young
lovers of today can vouch. They
donated the stone bench that
surrounds a tree over on the old
campus. Its use is limitless as
well as being pretty.
The class of 1907 must have
had trouble with time on camp
us also. They gave a sun dial.
The cement base is still stand
ing. A Drinking: Fountain
A drinking fountain was the
presented the class album. In next addition to campus. It was

Jobs in Special Social Work
Are you interested in a summer
job that will give you an in
sight into one of the basic social
problems of today?
If you are, the Lincoln institu
tional service unit has a job for
you. The unit is a group of col
lege age men and women who
work at the Lincoln State hospital
during the months of June, July
and August. The work begins
about the second week in June.
To be eligible for this work
you roust be 20 years old or have
at least one year of college or
equivalent experience. Participi
pants are selected on the basis
ot ability to benefit from and
contribute to the project without
discrimination against any group.
The job is that of ward attend
ant at the hospital. This involves
the miscellaneous duties of car-
j ing for mentally sick patients.
The pay will De approximately
iliar arrangements will be made
for this summer if possible. Room
rates are reasonable and free bus
service is provided to and from
the hospital.
Group life is stressed in the
Unit. A part time director aided
by a Unit chairman elected from
the group plans a program of ed
ucation, recreation and worship.
Each member of the group con
tributes $5 per month to the
group treasury to cover projects
and activities of the group and
provides compensation for the di
rector. Members should plan to
spend a reasonable amount of
leisure time in the activities of
the group.
You should join the unit if you
are interested in knowing more
about our state institutions and
care of the mentally ill.
the first and only one to, be found
on campus. As a matter or iaci
it's still on campus.
The classes of '10 and 11 were
back to the practical side of life,
even though they might have
seemed like killjoys to a few.
Those classes donated lamps
which were placed by the doors
of the library. Light the way to
knowledge and all that rot.
Another contribution included
an oil painting of Ellen Smith
hall. This was done by the head
of the art department and was
hung in Ellen Smith.
A clock was added to the col
lection, but that too is now gone.
It was put in the tower of the
old library. From sun dial to
clocks to carillon bells in 43
years might constitute what we
now call "modern progress."
"However, there were a few
"lulls" in the progress."
Tradition Lost
When World War I came
along, everyone got so excited,
they just forgot about the alma
mater. So the tradition was lost.
In 1950, for the first time in 35
years, a gift was made to the
University. It was a $65 schol
arship available to anyone with
the proper credits and grades.
That's the history of gift-giving
at the University. Now the
question is, will the class of '51
reactivate and carry on the tra
dition? It's going to be an excit
ing ending: tune in next month
some time and see what hap-
! pens.

Contest Won
By McChirg
A newly designed Engineers
week plaque will be awarded to
the department which wins En
gineers' Deek Open House. The
department may hang the plaque
in their departmental building the
following school year.
Each year the winning depart
ment's name was stamped on a
brass plate on the old plaque. In
the spring of 1950, the existing
one was nearly filled with names.
The Civil Engineering department
won E week in 1950. They chose
to be the first name stamped
on a new plaque.
Represent E College
Since a new plaque was need
ed, the engineers . debated the
question of using the old emblem
which was the University seal.
It seemed more appropriate to
make a new emblem which ss

Enginering and Architecture rat t

The group of over-all commit
