76 THE NEBRASKAN m high, beating his former record by one inch. This is the highest indoor jump on record. A Kansas college press association was re cently formed at Topeka. Eleven college papers were represented. The objects of the association are to advance journalism in the higher institutions of learning, and to bring about a more harmonious feeling between the colleges of the state. There is as much room for harmony in Kansas as in any state we know of, therefore we congratulate our brother editors in that field, and sincerely hope Nebraska college editors will follow their example. MODKKN AGNOSTICISM. "The professors arc wrong," said the student lit college, " In giving me marks that are low. For, with Huxley, 1 think that the height of all knowl edge Is in the three words ' I don't know' ! " " While Europe has but 94 universities, yet she has 1,723 more professors, and 41,81.) more students than the 360 colleges of the United States." The above paragraph, which we remem ber seeing in the college papers some three or four years ago, was found twice in the columns of a down-east paper this year. We offer it partly to justify our course in mak ing up this column, and partly as a consola tion to any one who finds fault with matter contained herein on account of its being stale.

The University of Pennsylvania Courier has this to say of the recent bowl fight there : "The Sophomores and Freshmen appeared, at 1,30, on opposite sides of the field, deter mined, if necessary, to die in support of their class. The fight was fast and furious, clothes were torn in a heart-rending manner, and more than one pugilistic student was divested of his garments in a manner which would have brought blushes to his cheeks, had he been anywhere else at the time. The Sophs failing to put the bowlman in the bowl, r.nd the Freshmen failing to demolish the bowl, the fight was declared a draw." Query : Docs civilization civilize ?

The trouble was a leak in the pipe below the cement floor. The re pairing has been done so that the same trou ble is not likely to occur again. The latest addition to our outfit is that of ninety-six lockers for the ladies' dressing room. They are made by the Narragansett Machine Co., and have combination locks. This gives the young women equal gymna sium advantages with the young men, ex cept in the matter of shower baths. In order to secure the advantage of hori zontal bar work by a whole class at once, Mr. Bowon is using the innovation of two bars of Swedish pattern, twenty feet long, susdended by ropes. The bars can be de tached and the ropes are in place for travel ing rings, although the rings cannot be pur chased just now. The students in this department will give two exhibitions early in April the ladies and the men's classes appearing on separate evenings. Admission will be by ticket, and limited to the number of seats that can be placed in the gymnasium without interfering with class work. Besides the class drills given there will be various athletic contests, open to the students of the University. The latter feature is always attractive, and ought to bring out considerable new talent and be gin the preparation for field day contests. . tmmmmOmtt miH&ami2ii MiSiMMHMMHttiUBiiiSa5SSa " JUmilfclMBdl
