Address all communications to Tho Nebraskan, University of Nebraska. Two years ngo a handful of enthusi astic workers began the Initial move ment of tho college settlement. Their only resource wns an occasional con tribution from the faculty and an earn est desire to do something for the up lifting of those who could apparently be reached by no other means. With but ?75 financial resource, and all that contributed by the faculty they brought I heir year's work to a success ful close. At the beginning of the next college year the control was taken from them and placed in the hands of a committee of students chosen by the entire student body and a committee from the faculty. Three changes of location have been made since the initial movement, necessitated by an increasing demand for more room. The present quarters re Inadequate and more commodious ones should be found. In this, as in most other enterprises, the great need is money. Last year the contributions from various sources amounted to 5145, of which CO per cent was furnished by the p'.:dents. If the work is to be carried on this year with a hope of the same degree of improve ment as in 9C-'97, this sum must be considerably augmented. But If one cannot aid the enterprise financially he may extend a helping hand by do nating books. Already quite a library has been accumulated in this way and it is hoped that the number of volumes may be doubled this season. It is operated on the circulating plan so it may do the greatest good to the great est number. The large numbers of women and children who never were familiar with the libraries of the city, but who now patronize continually the college settlement library, is conclu sive proof that people are being reached in this way who could be touched in no other. There is still another way iu which one may aid the movement, that is by volunteering to aid In instruction. So far there has been no lack of material in thife in spect, but no one has yet heard of the committee being overstocked with in structors. The advance that has al ready been made indicates a decided step toward practical humanitarian ism. Whether one be a Christian, an infidel or an agnostic, he cannot but commend the movement. Support this Institution by assisting iu one or all of the three ways mentioned by donat ing money, books or brains. In the October issue of the Cosmo politan will be found a statement from the editor concerning the Cosmopol itan University. Now that I'refcident Andrews, for the time being, has re turned to Drown University, Mr. Walker of the Cofcmopolitan must find another man as president of his "uni versity for the masses. Of course the board of directors selected by Presi dent Andrews does not hold over. This leaves the "university" in a some what crippled condition, but with its more than 5.000 enrolled studentB, no doubt It will survive. An eastern pa pei icores a point when it notes, that under the laws of the state of New York, such an organization aB Mr. Walker has formed cannot be termed a "university." Two Congregational colleges in Ne braska will probably be dlscjntiuued. Their work is academic, while lhelr currJf-ula is collegiate. This fact has been recognized by the Educational Society of that denomination, hence the probability of the step. "If the two," as the denominational paper says, -'were combined to form one academy it would deserve support." Tho usual education afforded by tho Bmall collego will not do. Probably no man in tho Presbyterian denomination could bo found hotter suited for tho presidency of Lako For rest University than Rev. J. G. K. Mc Clure. His long pastorate in Lako Forrest and his intimate acquaintance with overy detail of tho university rentier him particularly fitted for tho position. For nearly two years sinco Dr. Coulter's resignation tho univer sity has boon without a presiding olli- cer. Tho right kind of collego presidents aro not extremely plentiful. For somo tlmo tho trustees of Obcrlln college have been awaiting tho decisive word from President Slocum of Colorado college. Tuesday his letter declining was read before tho board. Oborlln's trouble docs not seem to bo In a scar city of candidates. A committee was appointed to "canvas the qualifica tions of candidates." COLLEGI3 NOTES. The corporation of Brown univer sity have a photographer to Btipply views for their edification. They need none from their president. The only man who did not lose his place in tho raid by Kansas politicians upon the Kansas State Agricultural college visited at the "farm" this week. Brook, last year's full back on Penn sylvania's eleven, will coach Stanford this year. He Is already on the ground and has started the men to work McKendree university, which con ferred the degree of LL. D. upon Pres ident McKinley, owes its corporate ex istence to Abraham Lincoln. The charter was written and Introduced in the Illinois legislature by Mr. Lin coln in 1854, and when put upon its passage it went through by the cast ing vote of Mr. Lincoln. Iowa's football schedule is: Beloit college, at Iowa City October 23; Uni versity of Kansas, at Lawrence, Kan., October 30; Iowa Agricultural college, at Iowa City November 6; University of Missouri, at Iowa City November 13; Grlnnell college, at Iowa City No vember 20; University of Nebraska, at Council Bluffs or Omaha November 25. The following proposed games may be played between now and Oc tober 23: With Y. M. C. A. of Des Moines, Knox college, University of Illinois, St. Mary's school of Kansas, Decorah, and Upper Iowa university. The Joint committee of the athletic board of control of Northwestern last night approved the following men. who are candidates for positions on Northwestern's football eleven: Mc Cluskey, Morse, Arthur, Dunn, liv ings, Libberton, Perry, Thorn, Hunter, and Seiberts. Northwestern's schedule is far from complete, and Manager Haller is look ing around for two or three big games with other universities. October 9 Van Doozer's men will meet Beloit at Rockford. October 23 is the day of the Chicago game, and October 27 they play Armour institute at Evanston. October 20 they meet the College of Physicians and Surgeons. November 3, C, and 13 are open dates, and Thanks giving day the annual game with Wis conbin will occur. Gilbert. Thoy can not bo replaced. It is hardly to bo hoped, therefore, that PonnBylvanla can defeat Harvard this year. Thoy have no gamo this year with vYalo ahd Princeton, as theso aristocrats do not like tho "unneces sary rough" playing of a few seasons back. Lovers of Lafayotto claim that theirs was tho strongest team on tho grid Iron last year, and that tl'ioy could de feat Princeton this season. But tho charges of professionalism hanging over that Institution will prevent a game with any of tho Big Four. Tho University of Chicago team will probably have last year's strength, that Is, they may win two or three games, or even more If placed IndoorB where HcrBchbcrger can do fair goal kicking. Northwestern's eleven will bo weak ened. Van Doozcr and Potter, last year's mainstays, are out this season. Minnesota will probably have one of the best western elevens this year. Harrison is again captain. Harding and Fulton will be out, but there aro others to replace them In tho rush. The training will bo principally In rushing tactics, as the men behind tho line nre only medium. Wisconsin is out of luck. Seven of their strongest men aro not to be In school. Those who are to replaco them must nearly all be neleeled from the new Freshman class. So Wiscon sin's outlook is gloomy. Illinois has some stronc new men, and will show greater strength than in 9G. Michigan's candidates arc mostly new men, some of them, however, have won reputations on high school elevens. There Is material which can be developed into a strong team for some future year, but the outlook for this season is only average. YOUNG MEN Will find that FOOTBALL IN EAST AND MIDDLE WEST. Sunday's Chicago Times-Herald con tains a writup of the football situa tion in the east and middle wefct. The Princeton, Yale, Pennsylvania, and Cornell teams in the east, an J Minnebota teams in the west, are al ready hard at work; as are also the candidates for places on such minor teams as Lafayette, Brown, Dart mouth. Williams, Northwestern and others. The Princeton team will be strong, as all but four of its '90 men are still in college. The' hold last year' championship, at least so far as the Big Four is concerned. For the vacan cies such men as Holt, formerly of Andover, and others, are candidates. Yale's team, on the other hand, will be handicapped from the start. But three of the men who played in Jast year's Princeton game are left, besides Captain liogers. who Is slowly re covering from typhoid fever. Their chances for a winning team, then, aie email. As to Harvard, several of rheir old men, besides a number of strong new ones, will compete for positions. They hope to defeat Yale. Pennsylvania has lost three valu able men Wharton, Woodruff, and THE NEBRASKAN ADVERTISERS.
