AUorrM nil Communications to Tiik Nkiihakkan
UnlrrrMljr of Nibrn-kn.
"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.
