Tlio university KriKlimtoH, ntoro tlinn nil others, aro hotter fitted for Instruction In tho hlKh schools and to fnco tho now problems of education. The poonlo of tho statu should ho inado to ronllao thl Important truth. Tho Introduc t'on of now systems and methods In teaching the various branches nnd tho constnnt addition of literature on the mbjocts require tho training of a disciplined mind to do tho most of fictiu work. Tho wldo nwnho stu dent, with tho culture ami refinement of a collcgo course, has certainly something to do. Tho faculty may lender much needed assistance in fur thering tho causo in which thoy have devoted tho study of a lifetime. With tho hearty co-operation of faculty and alumni, a mighty band of men and women is arrayed against the shack les of ignorance and paving tho way for more cillclout work in our public high schools. The Nebraskan certainly regrets the resignation of Professors Alien and Wilson. In thoir respective depart ments they have done thorough work and helped materially in raising tho standard and ranking the university among the higher institutions of learning. The success which hns crowned their work hero has In no small degree paved Jie way for thoir new callings. We recognize the board of rogonts have no easy task in seloctlng as worthy men for their succossors.Dut It must be done. Every means should be exhausted within our power to keep professors of national repute. We must not only keep abreast of other colleges, but we should surpass them In the race for leadership. To do so we must hold tho grent minds that are In our faculty. Lot It not bo forgotten that students alono cannot make a collogo grent. A unlvorsity that lias a faculty mado up of men learned in thoir specialties must go onward and upward. With the resig nation of three of our most oiriclont Instructors this year, we. to bo sure, realize no slight Joss. While we hopo success may follow them In thoir now work, let every effort be spent to make any such changos in the fac ulty that will make it strongor and abler. It has boon said from tlmo to time that we lack higher culture nt thf university. Those coming to us from abroad havo told us of the pol ish and refinement of our oastern sis ters. We havo hoard with admira tion of the achievements of their stu dents. So much has boon made of their feats in prose and verse, of thoir orations and forensic eloquence, that we have come to regard tho oastern graduate as a higher order of scholar. To cmulato is natural. We have longed for higher culture. Thinking it to lie in mental attainments, we have bent ourselvos to the acquire ment of knowledge and tho cultiva tion of the esthetic. The environ ment of western life has lavishly sup plied us with physical strength and hardihood. Tills endowment wo have augmented somewhat through athlet ics. But we have labored more for scholarship and refinement. Yot wo notice that an Omaha foot ball gnino that costH a Rtudont dollars to attond Is. without solicitation, nn noiincod In chapel In a ton-mlniito speech bristling with college spirit and greoted with tho university yell; whllo a Joint dohato representing tho best forensic output of two great uni versities, held In Lincoln under tlio Btudonts' noses, whoro It may he at tended for a few coats, Is reluctantly given a beggarly mention. This loads us to bollovo that we aro on tho wrong track for higher cult ure Wo must bo altogether mis taken as to what wo aro pursuing. It la John I Sullivan and not Daniel Webstor who Is to ho our model of higher culture. Kciioras.

"S1IOUTY" LION'MOW''. ft THIS HAM. ItOOM PI UNIX He Is always present at every dance. U you don't happen to notice hint be fore tlio dance begins, ho Is certain to make himself very much In evidence before It is over. Ho has a small head, ! an Idiotic grin, a pair of razor-like el- bows, and two abnormal feet which have a knack of being exactly where ! they are not looked for. Ho doesn't 1 Blve two whoops for "poetry of motion," ' but he slides down the hall with a gait ! that In a mixture of the heavy tramp of a hired man and the wild gallop of n runaway glrnlTe. He wears a pair of cowhide boot with large, aggressive li.ili-iinlls on the heels, and he takes great enre to leave ;he imprint of these nails on every satin slipper on the tloor When he meets you on tho tloor he stands on your feet with both hools and waits there a little space of time while he catches step. If he finds he can't stand on you, he will job you In the back with his elbow or kick you on the inside of tho ankle while you are reversing. If you happen to be a girl he will step through your dress two or three times and nation out your sleeve and walk up and down your foot whllo you are debating whether to drop dead or yell for the patrol wagon. If, however, you are unfortunate enough to bo a boy, he scrapes the shine from your patent leathers and Jabs his elbow In your nock. He objects to the use of a handker chief In the ball room and ho alwayj leaves an X ray photograph of his grimy hand on the back of the light dress of every girl he dances with a highly original method of labeling them. Whenever ho takes a girl after refresh ments he always manages to spill a quart of ice In her lap. He never learns how to dance well It Is a pity he ever learned at all yet hr never sits a dance out. Ho never apologizes and never offers to repair a damage. He is the one human being without a re deeming foaturo, the one cloud without its sllvor lining. "I've always played at poker," Said ltussel Thorp ono day, "Since the tlmo that I've been old enough To sit up straight and play, Hut I've lately learned a point On which I've hitherto been green, For I now know to my sorrow That a king can take my queen." m "No," said Hurt Cosgrovo frankly, "the reason I contemplate coming back to take law next year Is not because of the oncouragoment I havo had In that line (although I flatter myself I havo been quite successful as a pleader) nor Is It because of my lntlma" ac quaintance with tho bar, tut for tne simple reason that I absolutely need the yractlce." m I "ThU makos me mighty tired," said Kid Langworthy as ho looked soitow fully out of the window at the sheets of rain. "I don't complain about a five or six mile stroll In dry woather, as I have a great deal of youth and hope, but when there Is four feot of mud, oven my angel temper begins to show wear," and he put his hands In his pock ets and went out to hot row DueBoy's rubber boot3.
