"It has boon tho policy ot tho Hes perian to consider now questions wise ly, conservatively and In tho light of the highest Interests of tho university. As wo outlned our policy In our salu tatory Inst Soptomber, 'the Hesperian will not bo Influenced or controlled by any clique or faction, but will repre sent tho wholo student body." That policy wo most cordially reafflrm." "In giving place to M-. C. M. Skiles' communication in this issue, tho Hes perian prints tho views of a good, faith ful and staunch barbarian alumnus, who agrees with us thai tho way to fight the frats Is to fight them. The Hesporinn is a barbarian paper, repre sentng the democratic views and beliefs of the university pleboinns." The gem of consistency which shines seronoly from the editorial columns of the aforesaid is brilliant to a degree. From tho apjMxirance of the above we should judge that the Nowbrcinch-Ab-bou combine had compromised with a modem elemont, and each taken a col umn unto itself. It shows signs of hope for the future. It Is well to note the favor with which the propostion of Harvard col lego to shorten tho college courso to three years is received in tho west. Tho advisability of the proposition is surely deserving of consideration. Coming from the oldest and most con servative instltuton of learning in America, it promptly merits grave dis cussion. The favor with which it is re ceived in the university of Chicigo may lead her to be the first of tho higner In stitutions to put it into actual practice. Krom the fact this Is a monoy-makiug age it is not singular tlio western youth and his alma mator -take to It Kindly. Certainly the scheme is not wholly commendable. Great as may be the Held ol human possibility, an early a&e of specialization Is a matter to be ciis couiaged. 'Hie breadth oi nunu mat comes trom a scholastic training is de cidedly useful in making tuorotign preparation tor a specialty, tour years ot mudy for a bacnelor's degree is necessary to open the mental vision to tho possible avenues of tnoughu A good foundation is laid for a more as siduous study in specialty, liven the ortgniest minds can nope to progre&s better in their life's work. There is no isolated branch of knowledge. All ore in some degree relative. io be stue, there are many eminent men witnout degrees from a tour years' university course. But do .they strengthen the plea for a shortening or the course of study? 'ine vigor of the compouuon today, tho improved methods of in struction and the growing intricacies of possibilities should give an impulse to a thorough training before specialty. The suggestion, howevor, may bring about timely discussions. Every dopartmont of tho university should receive just recognition. Those of especial merit are certainly praise worthy. Tho aim and purpose of .the Political Economy club seems crudely understood. It has no oflloial connec tion with the department of economics other than a similarity of interests. Tho students are the personnel and have the general management of tho club. The officers, with the active as sistance of Professor Taylor, have made tho meetings entertaining and instruct ive. A series of lectures have been given for the last two years on a vari ety of economical subjects. The ablest men of the state are Invited to discuss the live questions. Partisan motives are disregarded. A knowledge of eco nomic principles and a fearless search for tho trnlli nro tho objects In view. With this policy Uio club Is doing a valuablo work for education and Bhould roec4votno oncouragomont and support It deserves. No person is Invited to lecture who is not a thorough student In hla specialty, Economic theories, often of an abstruso character, nro viv idly applied to practical questions. Tho student is brought In touch with prac tical mon of learning. Example well as precept is useful In eollego educa tion. And thoso interested in llvo top ics of a govornmontnl-economic naturo should eortninly toko an actlvo Interest in 'the work ot tho club. ON THE BIDE. Most of us, no doubt, have lost track of" tho largo, athletic young man who had chnrgo ot tho physical dopartmont during Uio spring ot '94. 1 mean Pro fessor Flattery, who took Uio placo of Professor Bowen. Ho now bobs up ngain with an artlclo in tho American Vnlyorslty Magazine on physical train ing In American colleges. In his artlclo ho remembers Nebraska long onough to mention tho fnct that ours Is about Uio only Institution requiring physical training of studenU In tho college proper. Professor Flattery Is now di rector of physical training In Centra college, Speaking of tho American Unlvorslty Magazine, it is noUceable that nearly every western university has a commu nication except Nebraska. Space is givon to such letters, which are gener ally written by somo professor of tho Institution. It is on excellent way of keopng the work ot an institution be fore the university world. Miss Jones has fitted out a dollghtful HUio spt in one corner of the library. It is so different from the rest of the library, with its cushions, pictures nnd Mowers. If it were only possible to ex tend a litUo of it to Uio rest of the wad ing room! They should coll it "student heaven" In Uils town rather than "nigger heav en." The Lansing gallery Is for tho most part patronized by students. They go early and put in their hour's wait pounding outuhclr studies for the next day. But It is a sore trial, owing to tho light, and that is what we've tried to say from the start. Such an emphatic kick should be registered Unit the en tire four chandeliers will be turned on full blast from tho time the gallery door is opened. There is one branch of the unlvorslty extension plan not down on the pro gram, which has been going on for some Umo, quietly but in such a way as to be most beneficial. It is tho nows paper work carried on by stndonis in thoir home papors concerning univer sity matters. Many of tho boys are running weekly columns and arousing Uio interest of their townspeople in the 'varsity and its training. Another part of this same work is being done by Uio clubs Uie Omaha, Ashland and Richardson county clubs which form a connecting link be tween the university and their home high schools. If, by tho way, you are not quite cer tain of tho need of this university ex tension, or are in want of evidence on the point, Just step ncross the street to Haymarkot square and mingle with the crowd on a busy Saturday morning. The department of hygiene is getUng more thau its share of abuse, ishls is not right. This department, you know, ranks with, that of English literature or romanro languages, and is entitled to equal respect and appreclaUon. The complaints are principally that fresh man hygiene is not a nvc-hour study, and that no post-graduate courses are offered. There do also much kicking on the use of tho baths being limited to two hours a day, and that baths after drill or permitted only after ail tho tomfoolery of a special permit from tho physical director. This complaint is all poppycock. The department knows what It is doing. Wo earnestly hope to see a more sensible view taken of Uio matter. Westerfleld should be your barber.
