A
Old Nebraska Hall Cornersto
Holds Tales of Yesteryear at
By Tom Ollenburj
Early in June of 1888 stn
dents, their relatives, and
friends of the University of
Nebraska received a penny
post card formally inviting
them to the . . . exercises
of the laying of the corner
stone of Nebraska Hall of the
Industrial College." Date:
Commencement Day, Jane
14, 1388.
Following a flury of festivi
ties including exhibitions by
the Philadiceans and Palla-
dian Societies, a dress pa
rade. and the graduation ex
ercises; 13 items were sealed
into the cornerstone of Ne
braska Hall to bring Com
mencement Week to a close.
Daring this summer Ne
braska Hall was ton down
and the contents of the cor
aerstone, bow 73 yean eld,
were revealed. A m g the
item found within was the
original invitation to the cor
aerstone laying ceremony.
Also included in the stone
was the Seventeenth Annual
Commencement program list
ing the Class of 1888: eight
who had majored in litera
ture, six who had studied sci-

Arrangements have been
made to enable off-campus

Men students renting hous
ing off-campus may obtain

Lincoln residents or who
commute to campus and de
sire to eat only a part of
their meals on campus may
obtain books of meal tickets
on a discount basis for meals

Ag and city campus.
One of the reasons for the
meal program is the in
creased enrollment which is
causing a large number of
regular campus students to
live off campus.

Next an 1888 edition of the
University of Nebraska cata
logue was found entomoea in
the granite. Listed among its
pages were 29 faculty mem
bers, 11 graduate students, 26
iuniors. 35 sophomores, 46
freshman and 32 special stu
dents. These special students.
though past 21, had received
faculty permission "to enter
the freshman class.
Hometowns of the 170 stu
dents included San Gabriel,
CaL: Nebraska towns: New
buryport. Mass.; and even
London, Eng.
Courses varied as greatly
as hometowns. The musically
inclined could participate in
the 27 voice chorus, the 13
niece band or the 16 mem'
ber orchestra. Latin. Hebrew,
Greek and German composed
the major language studies
and for the advance students
Sandskrit was offered.
Upperciassmen in physics
were introduced to blowpipe
analysis, while history ma
jors learned of the m o d e r n
transportation system, me
railroad.
The prairie University of
the ISSO's boasted of a 320
acre college farm "situated
in the suburbs of the city,
Included in the agricultural
facilities were an "excellent
barn." "wooden dormitory,'
and "convenient outbuild
ings.-
Aside from material ex
penses, fees were five dollars
a term with three terms in
each year. Diplomas, also,
cost five dollars. To finance
the six dollars a month rent
for a furnished room, a stu
dent could weed gardens at
the college farm for 15 to 25
cents an hour.
Four Nebraska papers rep
resenting the state scene
were found in the cornerstone
box. They included The Daily
Sevareid
Continued from P. 2
civilization. To the inno
cent and ignorant must
be added thousands of in
fiuftrtLal fellow travelers.
If the innocent have been
revolted by Khrasbehv's
earrest tactics, the fellow
travelers only hasten their
effort to book safe seats
for what they think, now
more thai ever, mast be
the nltimate Communist
take-over.
Soviet terror may heal
the deep split in the soul
of Europe, but it quite as
likely to, widen the split
along its existing lines.
It is ia this context that
ae matt took at the hard
mood of anger and deter
miaattoa rising In grass
roots America. It may be
that this is a danger in
itself, that it might force
hot-beaded and disastrous
actio. At this distance I
eaaaet Judge. (There are
reports that President
Kennedy is seeking to re
vive oae of the World War
n documentary films to
remind Americans how
frightfol war is.)
I can only say that if
this bard core of will did
not exist in the U n i t e d
States, the game would be
over with Khrushchev the
winner, tsn no saeh collec
tive win exists anywhere
else.

1S88 News
In the news, the headlines
told of happenings in the fif

of the woman who, having
been shot in the bead by her
husband, had been delivered
to the hospital with a "pain
