leaving of Dr. Clark and Capt. Qullfoylc.
Dr. Ward, Profossor Caldwell, Bert Wil
son and Frank Rlloy wero tho other mem
bers present. Dr. Ward mado a llttlo talk
on tho necessity of having tho students
of the University fully understand what
constituted an amateur athlete. Ho Bald
that somo of our students through care
lessness, but mostly through Ignorance,
oftentimes committed offonses which
would debar thorn from competing in tho
ranks of tho collcgo amatour. Ho showed
how necessary It was that studonts should
fulHuundcrstand the term and keep thorn
from doing things which would cast re
flection upon the methods of tho Univer
sity of Nebraska in competition, with other
colleges In athletic affairs. Tho result of
tho talk was u motion that Dr. Hastings
be Invited to give a lecture somo time In
tho near future at chapel tlmo upon this
subject. Dr. Hastings seemed to think
tho motion a good ono and will undoubt
edly consent to accept tho Invitation to
mnko tho address.
Tho matter of tho election of basoball
captain wns brought up nnd discussed
generally. Tho bourd seems disposed to
go at tho matter In a Junt way and will
attempt to harmonlzo any contrary feel
ings that may exist among tho members
of tho club. This will bo accomplished
by having tho players all present at a
meeting of tho board, and tho will of tho
majority being exprcssod, tho matter cun
bo straightened out. Tho mntter brought
out tho fact that tho athletlo constitu
tion Is vory Indoflnlto and a suggestion
will bo mado to the association at tho reg
ular fall meeting to lmvo a committee ot
students form a Joint commltteo with a
couple of mombors of tho' board em
powered to draft amendments) for the old
constitution. The board adjourned to hold
another mooting beforo their successors

of something over llfty dollars, yet from
the standpoint of tho mnnagor, the sea

Tho former election was doclnrod Invalid
and anothor ordered to bo held. This will

'91, from Harvard, and Ph. D., '96, also
from that place. His special scnoollng for
his profession was taken during two
yours at Springfield Training school. This
however, was well prepared for by his
aotlvo lnterouk In athletics during all his
collcgo life.
Tho football onthuslsts In tho Unlvorslty
havo long looked for a physical director
who was a football man; ono who could
work with tho boys for tho glory of old
Nebraska, and who could lend his uble
assistance to tho coach. In Mr. Hastlnga
their hopes have been realized. Ho has
a good football record himself and is
thoroughly In sympathy with tho game.
Ho played two years as left guard on tho
Harvard college team, which though a

thorn a stout Warwick tandem, all fitted

played with considerable pride, for it car
ried them this summer much of tho way

ull tho way but bad weather and worse
roads interfered much with their plans.
However, tho trip was full of delightful
and novel experiences.
THE PREP. SCHOOL.
There seoms to bo qulto a genernl mis
understanding In regard to tho prepara
tory school In tho Unlvorslty this year.
Th 3 gonoral belief is that thtf old iffiitra
tory school has been reopened, but such
is not tho case. The oxnet facts In tho
matter aro these. On nccount of tho sus
pension of (the free high school law In
this stato, tho regents thought It wise
and necessary to continue rtio preparatory
studies of last year, but In no sense hns
tho old prepp'otory school been reopened,
as no new studies lmvo been opened up.
THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC OPENS.
The Unlvorslty school of music opons
this year under more prosporous circum
stances than ever beforo liv its history.
All tho rooms aro taken and sovoral havo
found It necessary to tuko up quartors at
neighboring houses. Director Kimball has
mado every effort to keop up the standard
ho has set as to tho ability of tho faculty.
Mas. W. O. Jones will this year fill tho
pluco Miss Reynolds hold last year. Mrs.
Jones hns tho reputation of being ono of
tho best pianists In tho west. Tho In
creased attendance mndo It necessary for
Director Kimball to make a flying trip
to Chicago to secure an addition to tho
faculty. Ho returned after having- on
goged the services of Miss Marian Treat,
who was Induced to come here and give
up her position In a Chicago collcgo.

PROMOTIONS NOT YET READY
Short Sketch of tho Man Who Will As
sume Control of the Cadet Ba.tal
lon Ho Has Seen Much Aot
lvo Service.
Lieut. Alfred B. Jackson of tho Ninth
Cavalry, U. S. A., will bo tho command
ant of cadets during tho ensuing year. Ho
will succeed Captain Gullfoyle, who had
charge of tho military department last
year nnd who also camo from tho samo
regiment. Tho now commandant as yet
has formulated no particular plans of his
own In regard to drill this year, but will
bo governed In his actions, to a great ox
tont by tho general rules of tho depart
ment. In addition to having chargo of
tho mllltnry department, ho will take a.
course of law In cho University.
L:out. Jackson has been In tho regular
army for flftcon years, during which tlmo
ho has seen considerable service He
graduated from West Point In 1883 and
was assigned to tho Ninth cavalry. He
was stationed at Ft. Riley, Kansas, and

and Wyoming In tho summer und fall of
'95. Just provlous to coming to Lincoln,
Lloutcnnnt Jackson has acted as regi
mental quartermaster.
As Captain Gullfoyle has not yot re
turned, cadet promotions aro In a rather
Indefinite shape. It Is expected that tho
promot ons and appointments will bo an
nounced somotlmo noxt week, however.
A meeting of tho cadets wna called on
lust Thursday nfternoon at 3 o'clock In
tho gun room of tho armory. About fifty
of tho old cadets assembled for tho pur
pose of arranging for a University repre
sentation In tho Lincoln day pnrudo on

mill Oury. It was also decided to havo the
artillery battory wppear In the parado. Tho
Cadets woro ordorod to moot In the armory
Friday at 1 o'clock In full uniform, with
white duck trousers.
IMPROVEMENTS IN THE UNI.
Tho old students returning this yenr will
notlco on ngroonblo change In tho nppear
unco of the University. This Is especially
true as regards tho main University build
ing and tho campus. The lnttor has beon
woll kept during tho summer months nnd
now presents n very plonslng appearance.
Now llowor beds havo boon put In whloh
add muoh to tho beauty of the cumpus,
Ono of tho prottlest on tho grounds Is Just
south of tho library steps, whero thoro la
a small gardon of palms and other trop
ical plants. This Bhody nook will doubt
less becomo vory popular beforo tho hot
weather ends.
A most striking Improvement is notlce
ublo In tho mln building. Its dark, som
bro nppenranco Is completely hlddon bo
noath a bright coat of red paln't, and tho
old portico on the south sldo of tho build
ing has boon torn down and a now one
oroctcd In Its plnco. Evon tho historic
"short stop" at tho top of tho south stono
steps hns beon widened to a Btep of tho
samo breadth ns tho others.
Tho Interior of tho building hus also
witnessed an ontlro change Tho recita
tion rooms havo been froshly papered nnd
painted. Tho dingy smokod walls of tho
chapel havo disappeared and a light, airy
room In the result. Tho platform Is built
ovor and remodelled und tho holo In tho
colling through whloh Bill Green thrust
his foot, hns beon patched up
Th wave of Improvomonts has also pen
etrated tho Co-op and tho lookers nnd
counters with a frosh coat of paint form
a strnngo contrast to tho floor whloh still
retains Its normal color,
All tho news all the tlmo Is to bo found
in The Nobraskan, $1,00 per year.
