News K'iuh Hiush as locals, pei'HonulH, reports of meetings, etc., are cspo clally desired. The NebraHkan will be glad-to print any contribution rela tive to a general University subject, but the name must accompany all such. It Ik with Vegret that, we learn of the resignation of .Miss Alnble Tnttle as executive clerk. Her cordial and sympathetic manner won for her a place In the hearts of the students of the University. Miss Tuttle goes to a wider field and the best, wishes of the Nebraskan a"nd all the students go with her. The $25,000 bequeathed by Washing ton to the. nation for the founding of ti national .University has now in creased to nearly $4,000,000, but the I'nlversity has not. materialized. It seems particularly fitting that there should bo established at Washington a national University to utilize, the great national libraries and museums. Harvard University Is going the now road. President. Kliot, In his annual report, just rendered, recommends that the University confer degrees twice a, year, in February, as well as In .Tune. The primnry object of such a step is to benefit candidates for sec ondary degrees; that they may re ceive their degrees as near as possible to the time of completing their work. The death of Miss Frances K. Will ard has caused sorrow in the hearts of half a million members of hejri great teinpernneo organization. Miss vWillnrd began her career as a teacher and the womans department of Xorthwesk'rn University owes much of Its present stntus to her efforts. She was not a "believer in the su premacy of man and the lowliness of woman, and early exercised her pow ers as a speaker in the pulpit of the Methodist, church. Some one has said: "Her incisive eloquence was suggestive of Wendell Phillips." Tho uplift she gave to the cause of higher education may 1m, judged by her won derful influence on the multitudes of her worshippers. . OVEMfEAltDOX 'THE CAMPUS. Tho stone step at the top of the night leading to the main building and one of the pillars above it were conversing in a low tone and 1 stop ped to listen: "Tills Is rather Jliiiucy weather we are having," said the step, by way of keeping up the conversa tion. "Yes," replied tho pillar, "It has been a great many Weeks since we hae been "without Jtnin." Tho step suffered a visible shock at this and a largo chunk of mortar fell out from beneath It. "Aw, take it Nraee," said tho pillar. "Well, no Moore of that," responded the other. "Say, do you know what makes the prof's wheels look so funny when they rldo them?"' queried the stop, who now began to take an interest in tho conversation. " suppose le causo the handle Barr is too low," re turned the other. "No, its because they aro out of Gere," chuckled the, sk'p, "even though they have ball llaer-ings." A University girl passing by chang ed the topic of discussion. "She has a melancholy look and her face is Hag gard," said tho stop, "what do you suppose is the cause of this'.'" "Dis appointed in love, probably some one Cutter cold," was the Grimm reply of the pillar. "Luckey for her itsnoworso than that; now If she had flunked in exams she would have something to bo troubled about," "Nobody flunks In exams now," said the pillar "How's that?" "Why, tho studentw work a neat little Deal, you sec they Cramb for them tho night before." "By tho way," sain the step, "did it ever occur to you why there Is a cov ering on the library floor?" "So the students shoes "will not make tho Woodruff," safd the pillar, who was confident that ho had given tho prop er answer to the query. "No, ita simp ler than that' said tho other, "It Is to aotd all o,es in walking at w s the room." The pillar fell 1 lull he was licaieii but. he resolved to make one last at tempt. "Did you eer see the skeleton ot that, queer looking animal In the museum'.'" said he. "To what, animal do you refer'.1" said tho oilier. "Oh, that one that, stands in the corner as If it had the. Hlekctts. lie must have been a Hurlelgh looking beaut when alive." "Yes, 1 remember.lt now. It Is the same one we were talklrg about the last time I Sawyer," and 'he step giggled to himself at his own witti cism. "Xow," said the pillar, "What do you suppose Is the hard bt.iy pro tuberance on the head of thai skele ton'.'" "A Morn," said the step, with an air of triumph, "(iucss again." said the pillar. "Well, mui.vIm Its a Slrahoru which happened to grow there," replied the step with greater confidence. "Perhaps Its a. Wiggcn horn," piped the shrill voice of the Iron railing, who hud heretofore re frained from joining In tho conversa tion witlt Ills elders. The pillar looked disappointed. "I didn't suppose they could guess it. Well, that I, Idle rail ing Is a hard Case," he muttered. COl.LKGK NOTES. Princeton's new library when com pleted will contain thirty miles of bookshelves. William MoKlnley will be commence ment orator at the Ohio Wesleyan University this year. Daniel Webster was editor of the first college paper in this country, published ut. Dartmouth. 'l'he United States is the only nation In the world that, spends more money in education than on war equipment.

In Oils wny It is thought that the greatest harmony of surroundings and beauty may he obtained. The. architect for the work is to lie selected by competition. The students of tho University of Pennsylvania lire at present having a fight over the question as to whether the Freshmen shall be allowed lo have a class pipe. The mnttor was re ferred to a committee which suggests a. tug of war to decide the question. If the Freshmen lose in the content, they will forfeit all right to a class pipe, but if they win, they ran have their pipes and in addition, have a largo pipe two feet long to bo present ed on class day to the best athlete In the class. SUCCESS OF COLLEGE MEN. The position which college men oc cupy nfter the graduation, and the number of them included ainaig those known as the successful cltlzms of out country, may be shown by statistics compiled after an examlnatioi of Ap pleton's Cyelodepla of Amurfcaii Bi ography, which are given bebw: e V o v S J O to I uno 1100 870 044 soo 707 485 504 387 189 217 147 103 d Clergy ...., ((ion Soldiur ns Lawyer 8-U Statesman 414 Rusiness 377 Sftvy 15 Author hi Physician 427 Artist mi Educator 029 Scientist 333 Journalist ofl Inventor , . , , 19 Actor , 4 Explorer I'lonecr .... 0 .5$ .03 .50 .17 .03 .37 .40 .10 .01 .03 .30 .11 .04 JO i in 151 D'.'O .10 Total "iUTO f.tisii ,;i5 From these stntlstles it will 'bo. seen that of I5.0S5 mcii named, ft.'jvo nn college men, slightly more than one third.

Monday it was decided to have more quiet In the library. Ac cordingly l.lbrarlur Ems was Instruc ted to make an appeal to the students. Oh the following morning the occu pants of the library were somewhat surprised to receive u spirited talk from Mr. Epos, lie spoke lu a cry low tone but for oiu'e the drop of a pin could have been heard In any part of the reading room. The librarian's ability as a speech maker has never before been brought into public no twice, but on this occasion lie proved himself quite, equal to the demand. lie said there wire a few in the li brary who were in-eventing the. oth ers from working. Ten or fifteen per sons were spoiling the work of 200. Ue hinted rather broadly that some one had already been suspended from the use of the library and that such a thing might luipeii again if those found disobeying orders did not cease from their favoritt amusement. The lecture evidently struck home to the majority of those present, judg ing from guilty looks and subdued be havior, which was noticeable at. the conclusion of the talk. It is needless to say that order In the library lias been much better ever since. PALLADIAN-DEU X DERATE. The joint debate between the Pnlla diun boys' debating club and the De linn boys' debating club was held Sat urday evening.
