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.

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."

"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."

"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
