Hugrcttlng iih wu ilu tho defeat of our boy, wo cettalnly will not allow Interest In debating to wane, but enter Into tho contest next yoar with Increased vigor. From all re portH, tho Nobraska dobatcrs put up a strong and convincing argument and re flected credit upon thcmHolvcs and tho university. Tho Kiuihiih debaters wero oxporlenncd men and certainly woro a worthy foo to moot In a friendly Intel lectual rivalry. In view of the outcome of the last dobnto, wo should gather a valuable lesson that will be of service In tho future. And that Is, tho exercise of more care and discretion In the selection of Judges. It certainly Is not wine to uhoaso ministers to decldo upon the mer its of a question embodying the aUstrnat principles of political science, nor Is It Judicious to solect lawyers to decide upon tho merits of a theologlcnt discussion. An Impartial and competent sot of Judges Is Just ns desirable as strong dobatcs. The parties who havo tho selection of Judges In hand In tho future should, as far ns this university Is concerned, se that only deserving men aro given such responsible) positions. Let us prollt l our oxporlenoo and buckle on tho armor nnd go Into this debato next year with now vim, vigor and hopo. 3ffUr8 OY,MNASIUM EXHIBITION. Tho sixth annual exhibition of the girls' gymnasium work was held last Saturduy evonlng. Tho nrmory was comfortably filled. Tho gallery was reserved tho early part of tho ovcnlng for tho faculty; but on account of tho stormy weuthor the num ber of tho faculty members was small and tho gallery was opened to all. On thik main lloor the three rows of chairs that encircled the lloor wore almost tilled. Tho llrst number on the program was tho Indian clubs. The class marched In slnglo lllo to tho back of the room and came up In sets of three, tho middle col umn stepped forward und the outside col umns to the side This exercise wns well oxeoutcd to tho music. The dumb bell ex orcise was a particularly pretty exercise, the class bolng formed llko a whee'., with rows of live each, facing tho centre or hub of tho wheel. The marching drill with a class of live sets of fours under Miss Elliott was much appreciated. Miss Han conducted the class in fencing movements nnd positions. It was done In perfect time and the noise of the stumping In the charge was exactly together. Tho bar-bells, while simple, made a pretty exercise. The apparatus work was all good and tho leaders Misses Lewis Hyde, DuTell, Chappel, Spurk, Stratton, Miller, Smith, Wheeler and Pentzer, all Showed proficiency In the special work. While a few were not able to keep the hand balls from rolling over the floor, this now extrclso mado a graceful picture. Tho marching calisthenics and fancy steps wore received with considerable ap plause. The ball passing of the Inrgu medicine ball mado an Interesting gamo nnd caused considerable applause. Tho mass drill from the first was slight ly mixed In marching to positions, and us a result, many mistakes wero noticeable. This -was due largely to the fact that most of tho girls were tired from the exercises that all had tried their very best to do, and with all their vim. The work throughout the entire evening showed thorough training by Miss Barr and her assistants. Tho music wns furnished by the cadet band. LAW SCHOOL LECTURE. Mr. Roscoe Pound gavo a lecture before the law school Wednesday on "Roman or Civil Law." Tho following Is a brief summary: Tho Roman nnd tho English races are tho only peoples who havo originated a system of laws. Others had primitive sys tems which did not mature, especially when they camo In contact with tho Ro man lnw. This was developed first In tho city of Rome nnd called the "Jus civile" whenco perhaps our name, the civil law, though this Is more likely an antithesis to the church or common law of the mid dle ages, Roman law was very scientific. Learned masters Investigated principles nnd theor ies and their treatises were codified finally by Justlnus Into digests which consisted of three main parts, the Institutes, tho digests and the code. The digest Is tho main part and is a compendium of tho "responsa" of the "Jurist consults." Roman law is a system of masterly treatises of trained doctors reasoning on abstract law whllo the English common law Is oxtromoly practical, being mostly ascertained by Judgos' decisions of par ticular cases. Consequently tho civil law has not our regard for precedents, nor need a lower court follow tho suporlor If It does not conour In tho doctrine, Anothor striking dlfforonco I In tho method of- procedure under our system the Jury Is tho trior of fact and tho Judge Is but an umpire between tho contending parties, Under tho Ilomnn law thoro was no jury nnd tho Judgo made ovory effort to nscertaln tho facts, prnctlcally con ducting tho wholo case, thus often bolng Inquisitorial. On appeal also ns a result tho wholo record was oxnmlned and not the law points, ns with us, and In this their system Is perhaps tho better. English law recognized real property as Its most Important branch whllo contracts and business law wero mostly dovoloped In Homo. In many wny.i their law scorns very modern oven now as our law. mer chant, and equity practices aro muoh In lluenccd by It. In England tho king took ohargo of tho oxeoutlon of tho laws and by tho ad ministration In ono court gavo great unity to tho common law. In Amorlca the wider exteift of lerrltory and re stricted powers of Judges have made us more dependent on text writers, Also af ter the revolution an aversion lo Eng land and English decisions, nnd a sym pathy for France caused a marked study of lloman law here, anil an Inllueneo on our decisions,. We should nevertheless study and re vere the lloman law as It Is undoubtedly by far the oldest and we should accept iy rar wlmtltv or may be Its better points. COMPANY BLOW-OUTS. During tho pnst weei. each of tho four companies of the cadet battalion Indulged In a general good time. It seemed best that the companies should havo a lit t K "blow-out" before rathor thnn after tin. competitive drill. Otherwise only one company could celebrate and there would bo three others to mourn the loss of tho cup. As It Is, nil four companies had tin. pleasure at least of llstonlng to speeches telling how each was sure to win til competitive drill. On Inst Monday evening company C, at tho Invitation of ex-Captaln Sell wars, went out to tho Kappa Sigma house. Tim early part of the evening wns devoted to playing billiards and other gnmes. Lnter, while devouring fruits and lemonade, tho boys listened to speeches by Captain Wil son, ex-Captaln Schwnrz, ex-Lieutenant Ed Elliott. Lieutenants Phllbrlck and Reagan. The company non-commlssloncd officers made short talks, also several privates. Qorber mado a stirring address In which he promised to thin up a little bit so that the captain could see the men boyond him when dressing to tho right. Ho also gave Rengap a few pointers on tho same subject. Tho boys adjourned nt a late hour, nfter extending n vote of thanks to Kappa Slg.ma. fompany A enjoyed a treat Tuesda night by Captain Oury. About fifty members of tho compnny went down ti. Sutton & Hollowbush's. They wero treated to Ice cream and soda water and enjoyed a general good time. Speeches wero mndo by different members of thft company which aroused much enthu siasm. Tho boys also celebrated tho vic tories which company A won on field day. Every member of company D wns pres ent at tho "blow-out" given by that com pnny nt tho rooms of Dolta Tau Delta on Thursday ovcnlng. The boys had a rollicking good time nnd mado fruit, cako and lomonnde disappear with rcmnrkablo rapidity. They wero out for a good tlmo und thoy had It. Captain Lehnhoff nnd others made stirring Hpoeehes to tho boys and aroused a great deal of company en thusiasm and spirit. Company R also held n "feed" the same evening nt the Sigma Chi house. All tho mombers of tho company turned out and enjoyed n pleasant tlmo. The cadets spent the time attncklng the re freshments and listening to short tnlkx by Captain Saxton nnd other olllcers ot tho company. Tho general result of the treats which tho companies havo enjoyed will bo to re new tho Interest In the compctltlvo drill which Is near at hand. The boys havo been drilling early in the morning In preparation for this event nnd they will contlnuo the special drill up to the llnal contest for the cup. GLEE CLUB CONCERT The long expected nnd oft-postponed Gleo club concert wns given at the Lann Ing theater Wednesday evonlng. Mny 12, by the University Glee club nnd tho Sutorlus Mandolin club. This was Urn fourth annual concert given by tho gle club nnd was without a doubt the most successful. The audience which greotert tho boys wns of n fnlr size, but If tho students had turned out tho wny they ought to It would havo been much larger. There was n notable absence of any at empt at decorating tho theater In the university colors and the college yell was an unknown quantity. Nevertheless tho crowd was highly appreciative nnd en cored without exception every numbor on the program. Tho boys were nt their best and their rollicking songs, while there were not so many as one might have wished, wero greatly appreciated. In regard to tho Sutorlus Mandolin orchestrn, It Is safo to say that no other musical organization which has vlsltea Lincoln, with tho exception of Sousa's band, has created so favorable an lm prossion. This orchestra consists of nbout sixty pieces, under the efficient direction of Mr. H. P. Sutorlus, and Is ono of tho largest organizations of Its kind In ex istence. It wns difficult to toll whether tho glee club or the orchestra pleased the audience more. Tho hnrp solo by Miss Wllholmlna Lowo was nrtlstloally executed and re ceived n hearty onccro. Such numbers as "Legonds" and "When Day Fades," which were given Dy the gleo club, wert well received, but the Jolly songs, such as tho "Bee" song nnd "Tom, Tom, tho Piper's Son," wero the kind which took best with the crowd. That ridiculously funny piece "Romeo and Juliet" pleased everybody Immensely. Mr, Ireland's whistling solo mado a great hit and drew out tho greatest ap plause of tho ovonlng. Kenagy's baritone solo and tho quartet number by Messrs. Ireland, Davis, Konagy and Norton wore well rondored. Tho medley arranged by Bob,Mnnley caught the house completely It was full of striking and surprising ohangos and was far above tho average of Its kind. OFF FOR THE EAST. A smnll-slisod crowd of studonts wont down to tho depot Thursday morning tp soo tho baso ball team off on tholr oast orn trip.

Ward of tho unlvorslty, President Hackney of tho Lincoln board of educa tion nnd City Tlokot Agont Rounoll of the B. & M. accompanied tho party. THE OMAHA CONCERT. Tho University Gleo olub gavo a concert In Omaha last Tuesday evonlng at Boyd's theatre. The concert was glvon In con junction with tho Betitorlus mandolin or chestrn. Tho audlenco wns not ns large as It should havo been, but those thitt woro present were vory woll pleased anil highly appreciative. Every number which the boys rendered was encored once and some of them even twice. The excellent work of tho gleo club should serve to draw a better audlenco If ihe loys should decide to give a concert In Omaha next year. THE ORATORICAL CONTEST. Tho Inter-state oratorical contest which was held nt Columbln, Mo., May (i, was won by P. D. Decker of Park college, Missouri. There were ten states repre sented In tho contest nnd Nebraska's reprosontatlvo. Mr. II. C. Ropor, tied for fifth placo.
