Address all communications to The Nobrasfcftn, University of Nebraska. Tho recent action of the board of re gents In dismissing Dr. Wolfe, has cnused a breach between the executlvo powers and the students which tlmo only can fill. Dr. Wolfe Is ono of tho moit popular professors In tho university, and the fact that ho 13 an nlumnua of this Institution Increases his popularity greatly. No ono hesitates to say that tho students ncted unwisely and hastily Thursday. They were Justified to some extent, however, and tho loyalty of tho student body to their professors and the university, can not be questioned. Prom their stand point, they see only a great loss to the university. To them tho "Interests of harmony" do not appeal. They have seen nothing of the conduct of the professor which would lead them to believe that his relations with other members of the faculty were so unpleasant as to over balance tho good of his educational Influ ence among tho student. If the regents and chancellor havo decided that It was for tho good of tho university that the action was taken, there Is nothing to do but wait and seo If tlmo will bear them out. Tho university suffers from the loss of ono of Its great men, but If the university has greater Interests at stake, Xtio' action of the' board of regents was Justifiable. Tho necessity of having a uniform method of Inspecting high schools of the state Is apparent upon every hand. Since tho governor vetoed tho bill, which was designed to attain that end, :t :s Incum bent upon the university authorities to devise somo commendable plan to take its place. Heretofore, different members of the facul.y havo takon a portion of tholr tlmo In examining tho schools ap plying for the accredited l.st. And con sequently, m'nor matters havo been over looked nnd Irregularity prevails In the stnndunl of admission to the first college year. Tho efficiency of the high schools should be looked after wl.h care and ef forts should be made to Improve them whorever weak. Thero are many schools yet to bo added to tho accredited list. And tho time that is required as well as the work certainly deserves some one who Is specially employed for that puipoee. He could give ilmely assistance In raising the high school standard and assuring the university that only the competent und well prepared graduates would lie recom mended to college Htandlng. This matter concerns our standard of scholarship anj appeals to all those Interested In thorough educational work. Do not lmjioso upon members of tho faculty, work to which somo one should devote his entire time and attention. slight recognition, especially In n Hold which has so recently beon developed. With such marked advance who can soy that a proper distribution of tho funds will not enable tho professors to fulfil' their highest ambltton In building up their respective departments. t AT EL CAIHTAN. Thoro has been no show this year Hint was so universally attemled by collogo students as was El Capltan on Wednes day cvonlng. In tho dress ulrclo there woro a number of theatro parties com posed of collcgo people, tho balcony hntl a few moro whllo the gallery was met aphorically speaking, a howling cam pus. Up In this elevated roost (that was evidently built by a man who wns an adopt in packing sardines) thero wns n wild lmtlenH mob representing tho lmtnl llon, tho ball team, tho minstrel troupe nnd tho glee club. This noble collection Is what Is known as Davvy's band, and Is headed by the aforementioned vcrsatllfv youth who can be olthor tho prettiest girl In a minstrel show or the laziest ser geant in tho bnttallon at n hnlf hour's notice. Short Lehnhoff wns up there too, having stepped up from the parquet to ovado tho rush at the door. Ho grew wildly enthusiastic over Edna Wallaco Hopper and snld that it he only had bis shoulder straps on he would call on her between tho acts. It would havo hard to tell what the opera would have been without Davvy's Hoodlum syndicate nnd the unl. band. Thero Is one part In the opera where a brass band, composed principally of cor nets nnd slide trombones, nnd bass drums appear. Llttlo Midget Crook was In the baud with a long loose tunic and a broad hat that covered his eyes and ears. Ho came on tho stngo tripping over his gown and trying to blow the keys oft his horn. "Jlggs',' Dnvls played a slide trombono as If ho nevor expected to do another thing nil his life. Every once In a whllo he would get delirious and poke out the slide of his old Instrument till It Jabbed a chorus singer In tho back. Ho nnrrowly escaped two or three mix-ups. 'At the end of the second act there was a free-for-all contest between tho chorus nnd tho band to see which could make tho most nolso. Tho band didn't do a thing to tho chorus, but rush them so fast that they couldn't pronounce tin words. The manager was so displeased by tho unfair ndvantago taken by our excitable band that he refused to pny them for their services but Jlggs Davis sat down on his horn at the stage en trance and swore ho wouldn't go until ho was properly remunerated. About hnlf past twelve tho manager paid him hi fifteen cents and let him go so that the theatre might bo locked. Throughout the play the crowd was kept In admirable order by Davvy and his popular lieutenant, Slansky, and at the end of the piny aftor they hnd all Indulged In a piece of prune plo anda seed cake nt Don's, the mob was quietly dispersed. Merit and efficiency always win recogni tion. They In truth, speak for themselves. But wo venture however, to say h word concerning the remarkablo growth and prollolenoy of tho department of philoso phy. It Is a typical example of the pro gross that is being made in somo of the depar.monts. The work Is practically elec tive, yot thoro Is, Includ.ng the department of pedagogy, an enrollment of over three hundred and thirty students. It is certain ly a remarkable showing, especially in such abstract studios . philosophy and psychology. No ono takes those subjects for snaps. In 189 tho department was est ablished with an enrollment of only four teen students. Since then, under the wise and efficient supervision of Professor Wolfe, the department has renched Its present standard of popularity among uni versity students and tho educators of this state. The fac; that the work Is practic ally olectlve, shows that such a largo en rollment speaks well for tho department and cortalnly shows the estimation In which It Is held, The laboratory facili ties rank nmong tho best In the world, holding about fourth place. It Is through our experimental psychology that edu ctors nnd other universities have been lol to acknowledge tho thoroughness of our GHADUATKS STUDENTS MEET. A scoro of people connected with tho graduate school of tho stato university met Tuesday night In Dr. Wolfe's lect ure room In library hall. Tho suggestion of Joining tho national federation of graduate clubs was brought up for brief discussion. Those present favored the Idea and on motion of Pro fessor H. C. Peterson tho president was Instructed to appoint a committee of five who should bo empowered to Investigate and act. Dean Edgren and Dr. Ward were appointed from the faculty. The remaining three, to bo from the graduates, will be chosen later. . Deiui Edgien propobtfd tho following amendments to tho constitution relative to tho time of meeting and election of ofllcers: "The club shull meet roguLirly twice a year on the first Saturday of November and Mny." All olllcors shall bo elected at tho May meeting." The aim was changed to read: "It shall be the object of the pupers reud nt the meet ing of tho club to present In comparative ly technical form a brief resume of somo scientific topic und preferably one Illus trating moro recent advances In tho sci ence treated." All these amendments were unanimously incorporated In the constitution. The regular program opened with nn Interesting paper on the library school at Albany by Miss Edna Bullock. Tho re quirements of entrance and tho dally life of the student when entered were pleas ingly sketched. Examplos of quostlons which must bo answered were given to Illustrate the breadth of knowledge that the young librarian must bo acquiring. Professor Peterson talked about the spirit of scholarship in tho university and guvo reasons that had occurred to him why the scholarship was not so thorough as It might be. Ho thought that a ten- THE NEBBASKAN ADVEUTISEBS. Wo wish to call tho attention of tho Profossors and students to tho local mer chants who advortlso In Tho Nobraskan.
