Thoscurrlllous nrtlolo rctleotluK on tho fraternity mon which niniearoil In the litat Smio of our barb oontom ix.rary, rivals tbo atheistic "lltoniry" tmuluotlon by the sumo author of a recent Insuio. The N'ehmsknn does not nlde with tho fmtH or the bnrbn. This distinction I tiuu dylnR out ami soon will no longer be a fuetor In university politics. However, It Is but Just that the fra teinlty men ami women be defended from such unjust ami uncalled for at tacks. A little history will prove the absolute untruthfulness of most of the remarks contained in tho editorial inder discussion: "With a very few exceptions the student writers nml (.peak-era of the university today are members of one or the other literary societies. That Is true, the mem bership of the Knullsh club ami the literary productions appearing from time to time In college and local publi cations tell but too well." T. K. Wlnpr. Phi Delta Thoto, won the loi.U and state oratorical honors in ISM; Adams MeMullen, Delta Tau Delta, 1S94: 1C. 11. Sherman, Delta Tau Delta. 1SP.V (if the speakers selected to represnt Nebraska at the Intr-stuto debate last ear. the two first were fraternity men, the third a barb, but ho wa.s not a member of any of the literary societies. The fourth representative also was a fraternity man. There was but one frat man this year on tho Inter-state debate. He was sick In led ten days before tli contest, yet he won llrst place without any dltllculty. That numbers of the ICnpllsli club are mostly I'nlons proves nothing, ns it Its well known that the English club 1s merely a branch of the lTilon literary society. Wo have good authority for this state nun t. "We should think that the literary societies would be nshamed to claim as their own some of tho "rot" which has appeared In some of the college l-apcis under the name of "literary productions." We recognize tho fact that literary societies are doing good work, but they do not form a ma jority of tho brightest scholars In the university. There are men outside of both fraternities and societies who are In no way Inferior to those within, and they form a large portion of the stu dent body. The frat-barb question Is practically dead la this university. We do not can- to enter Into a discussion of this subject, but we want to dispel any false Impression that may have boon spread abroad among the faculty and out siders as to the scholarship and literary work of the frat men and those outside of the societies, "llanquot halls and social functions" Is no more a part of the life of a fraternity man than Is neo esrary to give him a cultured and pol ished education. The Xebrasknn hopes to offer Its readers next week a beautiful supple ment in the shape of a card with the Individual pictures of the football team thereon. The photographs have been sent to Chicago and half 'tone cuts ordered. If there Is no delay they will be herein time for our next Issue. The cuts will be printed upon fine enamelled paper, and framed they will mako a picture fit to ornament any room. Extra numbers will be 10 cents. We must Insist that all subscriptions be paid by this date. The annual reception given by the class of 19Q0 last Friday evening was weli attended. urn 1H CAPTAIN, football team met Saturday The and and elected a onptnln for next season. olenrod up a little busiuMs which they inouglll was neeenmuj- u ". - Captain Wilson called tho mo Ing u. order nn.d presided.

"Hud" wins called upon for a spivh. but refused to jespoiwl. The question of a oouch for next .voir enme up and' a mutton was curried i -commending that tho board be in structed 'to secure an eastern man who hud played this reason In one of :he bl gnmos. The Iwys also decided that they would orguinlw a week before scho d starred next year, .thus got ting a wood start. A resolution was then read by llay wurd, commending Captnln Wilson for his unbiased administration and the energy and good Judgment he had dis played throughout the season. It Is needless to say that It was passed unan imously. Sheldon and Whipple weie also credited with having conducted the business management of the team to the best mdvantnge. and "oc" 12voivtt for his trouble mid attention In looking after their physical welfare. A. It. Join. '9S, familiarly known as "Hud." does not need an Introduction to the students and faculty of the uni versity. He played the position of right guard all through last year's season and also the present one. He was con sidered the most reliable man on the team to make a gain through the line, nnd It generally fell to his lottoenrry theball the remaining distance on the third down, a duty which he seldom failed to perforin without making the required ground. "Hud" also played on tho tlrat 'varsity team In '!:. when he tilled the position of tackle part of the time. His college work was Interrupted for a year, but all remember with what joy his return was hailed in 'SM. PROFESSOR INGERSOMj'S DEATH. .,ews of the death of our former professor of agriculture, C. U Inger- soll, was received with sorrow by many of his old students and friends Monday morning He resigned his position last April on account of Ill-health and left for Grand Junction, Colo., a few weeks later. He died Sunday evening nt the home of his brother. Charles Leo Ingcrsoll was born at Porry. Wyoming county, N. Y., Novem ber 1. IS 11, nnd was educated In the common schools of New York and .Michigan. He began teaching before tho war. but in 1SC3 entered tho army, whore he served until the close of tho war. Ho entered the Michigan state agriculture school, whom he became a chartor momhor of Iota chapter of Delta Tau Deltn fratornlty. Ho was a graduate- of the Michigan stato agricultural college In 1S74. when he obtained tho degree of B. Sc. In 1S77 he securod his M. A.

THE PROM COMMITTEE. The class of '97 met in room .1 Tuosday afternoon and elected the Junior promenade committee. About thirty were present, but not much enthusiasm was man ifested. F. A. Korsmcyer nomi nated tho following ticket, which was elected unanimously: Chairman, J. P. Rowo, E. P. Sawyor, H. J. Sonhoir, R. Haggard, Ralph Saxton, Harry Robin son, J. P. Canioron. Fred Hall, Mabel Ricketts, Anna Uroady and Miss Heiso. Tho twelfth mnn Is to bo olootod by tho junior laws. His uniform was noticeably different from nil the rest. The braid was of a different color. About the same color of thalt delicious 'Florida fruit that ccmes nearest to the shape of our earth. Ho had his "sound" In tho armory. The gallery was lllled with pretty femi ivino fncos; he knew It. He also knew lilb uniform was the prettiest. He was tho highest In authority. The floor had lately been oiled. He swung that pole around, which had a nob on one end, and as lie stopped around he bent his knees considerably and raised his feet a good ways from the floor. As I said before, tho floor was very slick. The gallory laughed, and -when he got up the color of his face had assimilated i with that of his braid.
