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."

(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

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.

must Insist that all subscriptions be

The question of a oouch for next .voir

that tho board be in

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

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. He was pro
fossor of practical and experimental
agriculture in tho Michigan state 1S77
70; professor of agriculture and horti
culture In Purdue. 1870-S2; prcsidont of
the Colorado stato agricultural college

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.
