SOCIETY IN THE UNIVERSITY
Outline of the Many Social
Functions Which Relieve
Student Life.
THE PAST CHANCELLORS
Society in the University us it is now
understood is strictly a growth of the
Inst few years. TMs growth has come
largely with the development of the
fraternity spirit in the institution. One
dement of fraternity life is the social
side ami wltih eleven fraternities und
fie societies, the University society
has so developed that it has come to
take the lead even in the city. Five
yen re ago tfliero were 'two social circles
in Lincoln the city und the Universi
ty, the town and the gown. Hut such
is no lonircr the case. The sous und
daughters of Lincoln are now nttoud
ng their own. home educational insti
tution instead of going1 east to the old
t-vhools. Lincoln citizens 'have come to
feel just pride in the University of
Itchrusku. They recognize the fact that
the best children of Nebraska come
to the city tJirough the medium 01 the
I niwrsity and they are triad to open
their hospitable homes to t'liese now-
v em. "Town" and "frown" are now
one Hoelety and a true, generous so
.cinl atmosphere pervades the place.
VlhiK social spirit is at once genuine,
broad, hospitable and cultured. It
finds its expression In many organiza
tions In the city In club, religion und
Klitlcnl movements. Hut It is In the
mrc narrow expression us confined to
the University proper that this jxiper
i has concern, nnd space permits but llt-
Jemore than a brief summary or tno
MirioiiH ways that this activity is manifest.
in more serious form, there is the
co aM-o settlement work In winch
many students And pleasure nnd recre.
ntion, the Y. M. und x. W. v. a., iviiu
thvW rest rooms, their entertainments
iul their numerous gatherings. Less
serious but just as earnest come the
open literary societies which Beck to
develop literary and social propensities
band In hnnd with their weekly meet
ings. Then there nre the secret fra
ternal organizations of the institution
which stand for the ideals of brother
hood. The growth of these societies
tnere arc now eleven fraternities an
lve sororletles has had much to uo
nth clevelonincr that hospitality -winch
Is characteristic of a true university
for hospitality and sociability are two
elements of brotherhood. The ttterar.v
societies have their annual "spreads,"
the fraternities their yearly banquets.
The societies give sleigh rides und pic
nics, tilio fraternities their dances und
their "house parties." Hand in Ihnnd
they work to promote good fellowship
and congeniality. The i.
ceptioms of Chancellor and Mrs. Mac
Lean nnd the Ladles' Faculty club, the
Pershing Miles, Junior and Senior
hops; tho eadet company dances, the
foot bail games, tllie festivities of Char
ter Day and commencement week are
nil great University nlTars partioipat-
it lasts. For Hfo is short. Tomorrow
old age comes, and nothing remains
memories of a happy you till, happiest
of which go hack to fair laughing
faces and bright, merry hearts ire tllic
dim old halls of Nebraska.
CHANCELLORS.
Chancellor Henton was tilic flrst ex
ecutive of the University. He began
in 1871 and remained until '70, when
Chancellor Fairfield was elected by the
Hoard of Kegcnt. He was called away
in '82 and Acting Chancellor Hitch
cock presided for three years, when

el in gnyly nnd gladly by student and
faculty body.
The social tone of the University Is
high, moral, chivnlnio. There is n true,
sincere respect nnd honor for women;
a genuine courtesy for the men. So
ciety is neither too heavy nor too friv
olous, but that happy golden mean
that makes It pleasant, profitable niwl
even new. It is said that the students
of Nebraska work harder than any
other body of students on the face of
the earth. For this reason when they
plunge Into the social whirl, they
throw aside dull care and' worry, and
seek for the utmost enjoyment while
Chancellor Manett came to act. Many
of the older students remom'ber him
quite plainly and also Chancellor Fair
field, under whom many now living
here graduated. He made a visit to
the University two years ago.
"When Chancellor Mnnett left Dean
Bessey acted for three years.
Chancellor Canfleld was then elect
ed Mid remained' from 1801 to 1805,
when he was elected chancellor of
Ohio State University and is at that
place. Chancellor MacLean came from
the State University of Minnesota in
1805.
The University hno made a wonder
ful growth In the pnst eight years.
In membership it has increased nt a
great per cent every year. The now
library building was opened in, the fall
of '05 and is one of the finest "buildings
on the campus. The Mechnnio Arts
building lias just recently been opened
and affords mora room for the crowded
classes.
Tlio next building needed is a large
chapel hall and museuim.
Tho campus is too small also, and
more ground will have to ho procured
in time. Tho University is not only
outgrowing its income, but accommo
dations can hardly 'bo arranged fast
enough to handle the students.
In young colleges the graduate
school is usually of minor importance,
but the University has quite an organ
ization under this head, with Dean Ed
gren ns its director.
Tills year ninety-seven are registered
for graduate work and It forms quite
ti part of the annual commencement
a majority receiving their A. M. degree
and a few Ph. D.
The Law School began ns a private
institution under Willlaim Henry
Smith. It struggled along for several
years and was finally affiliated with
the University. Heretofore schools
had been held hi the Burr block. It
was now "brought to the University
and given the presont room in. tho
main building. In 1805 it was made
tho college of law of tho University
und Judge Iteeso was appointed dean.
Last year thero wore forty-three
graduates and fifty-nine in 'the junior
elnss.
