said Robb. "I had a few won
derful friends and teachers.
My participation in various ac
tivities taught me how to meet
and get along with people."
When asked about the chal
lenges the present generation
in college now must meet to
morrow, many of the masters
were concerned with the in
creased tempo of the wrorld.
"The increased speed with
which everything is moving
is the major problem you
have to face," said Babson.
"I feel that the pressures
on the individual are mount
ing. They are the same pres
sures that I dealt with when
I was your age, only they
come much faster now." said
Weaver.
"The challenge of today is
no different than it has al
ways been," said Brown. "We
always will be coping with
the problems of the unknown."
Ten exhausted Masters
gathered with their student
hosts to discuss and evaluate
at the Nebraska Center.
The praise, and there was;
much of it, was tempered
with very few reservations.
Judge Brown said he wrote
to all of the previous Mas
ters, and all but one replied
ir an highly enthusiastic man
ner. "But," he said, "there
is some room for improve
ment "I had the feeling that
some of the groups didn't
know why we were there, and
therefore it was difficult to
get the kind of response we
might have otherwise."
'"The masters should prob
ably have had more ad
vance information of what
they could hope to accom
plish in specific areas, the
free time periods especially."
Mrs. Stebbins commented
that there was a great d"al
more response in the frater
nities and sororities than in
the unorganized honses. "I
felt sorry for my host in Sel
leck; it seems as if she had
to practically round up peo
ple to talk to me.
"In the Women's Residence
I sat down and played the
piano, and attracted quite a
few people. After that we got
quite a lively discussion go
ing." Andersen said, " I t h i n k
Mrs. Stebbins has put her fin
ger on a real problem. In
the classroom, and the fra
ternity and sorority, where
you have a captive audience,
so to speak, we seem to have
had better discussions, than
on a catch as you can basis."
Babson contrasted the 100
people he had as an audience
at the Delta Tau Delta house
with the 20 he had at Gath
er Hall. "The Cather group
asked interesting questions,
and they were a good group,
but they seemed to lack the
spontaneity that the Dells
had."
Bill Coufal said, "We tried
to provide the opportunity for
contact with as many living
units as possible. All frater
nities, sororities, co-ops, and
living units as well as sev
eral Lincoln student organiza
tions were visited. We had a
potential coverage of one-half
the student body."
Robb suggested a report
from the various guides of the
Masters to evaluate how the
Master himself performed and
what happened in terms of
student response and stimuli.
He asked that in advance
each Master be given a spe
cific program and some idea
of the nature of questions he
might be expected to be ask
ed. He said that some other
organization or method be
used to converse with the
press. "I found the press con
ference asking oversimplified
questions and expecting over-
simplified answers," he said.
Rich Isman, student coun
cil associate, wondered just
how many people knew what
the Masters were here for.
Several students talked
about the problem of achiev
ing the kind of exposure the
Masters were supposed to
get.
Isman said, "There was
evidence that we have a big
problem on how to develop
interest. In the residence ha'J
only the people from the im
mediate floor that we were on
attended."
Direct student involvement
was large. "I was amazed at
the large number of persons
participating," said Brownell.
"There must have been over
a thousand."
Yet more contact was felt
to be needed. "I would like to
see more classroom appear
ances worked into the sched
ule," said Brownell.
Mrs. Stebbins expressed a
surprise that she was not in
vited to a radio class.
Dave Smith, director of the
first Masters Program, said,
"The program has achieved
a degree of success. There is
none of the fear and antici
pation of failure that I ex
perienced. The Masters radi
ate a certain warmth, and I
hope that as many people as
possible had a chance to be
exposed to that warmth. Many
are impressed by the Masters
and this program has suceed
ed beyond my fondest hopes."
John Lydick, student coun
cil president, said "I didn't
realize that we had so many
outstanding people graduate
from this University; the Mas
ters program has made me
aware of them.
"Also, I feel that you can
make a scholar in the class
room, but it takes things like
this on the campus to make
a man or a woman."
Governor Morrison spoke a
few words of praise. Chancel
or Hardin asked the Masters j
to pass the word along to oth-1
er outstanding men to make
the Masters Program a suc
cess in years to come.

Robb Tells Students
Of 'Greatest Task'
University students attend
ing the 1965 Honors Convoca
tion yesterday were told that
their greatest task would be
to frta "soaring curve of peo
ple and a mounting storehouse
of knowledge" into disciplines
that can maintain freedoms
while keeping our nation
strong.
Gene Robb, a 1930 graduate
of the University and publish
er of the Knickerbocker News
and limes-Union at Albany,
N.Y., addressed the assem
bly which meets each year
to honor outstanding scholas
tic achievement
Robb told the students that
they must prepare to face ov
erpowering technological and
scientific innovations a n d a
burgeoning population without
losing sight of our democratic
traditions.
The search for quality as
"the preeminent need in our
democratic way of life pre
sents its peculiar problems,"
he said.
"Quality is not the opposite
of equality but certain ele
ments of equality are indis
pensable in a democracy. We
nave generally accepted the
premise that equality of op
portunity meets our democrat
ic tests. We may not have
equal talent but all s h o u I d
have an e'qual chance."
Robb reminded his student
tudience that such questions
as how to decide who goes
to college and who does not,
have not been answered to
the complete satisfaction of
anyone.
'The groping for measure
ments of potential excellence
continues with the knowledge
that none of the tests devised
thus far is perfect And es
pecially after college, those
attributes which no test has
found a way to measure be
come increasingly important
personality, zeal, and char
acter. We learn then, if we
have not already, that com
petition usually breeds excel
lence." Robb told the students that
in their search for excellence
they must understand that the
freedom of choice in a de
mocracy can be expected to
differ greatly from other kinds
of arbitrary decision-making
processes followed in totali
tarian lands.
Robb also told the students
that the quest for quality, to
some extent, is the responsi
bility of society.
"The fact that large num
bers of American boys and
girls fail to attain their full
development must weigh hea
vily on our national con
science. It is not simply a loss
to the individual
"At a time when the nation
must make the most of its
human resources, it is un
thinkable that we should re
sign ourselves to this wasto
of potentialities. Recent
events have taught us with
sledge-hammer effectiveness
the lesson we should have
learned from our own tradi
tionthat our strength, cre
ativity and further growth as
a society depend upon our ca
pacity to develop the talents
and potentialities of our people."
