EDITORIAL.
AVe shall not remind our readers that the
great Quarter Centennial is over, nor shall
we suggest that since it is over, it might bo
well for students to drop pleasure for study,
even though pleasure does not like to be
dropped. Theso things have been thought
of by twelve hundred separate and individual
persons, each possessing twelve hundred
separate and individual tired feelings. All
that wo consider in our province at this
late day, and in the light of the glorious
past, is to shake hands with ourselves while
wo chant two words from that language so
sweet, so pure, and so mistakenly thought
dead: "Summus Populi.",
Tiie music department of the University is
to be congratulated upon the efficient man
ner in which it aided in the silver celebra
tion. The chorus showed thorough drill,
and in more ways than one gave an excep
tionally pleasing performance. The orches
tra, both on "Wednesday evening in tho
chapel, and on Thursday evening in tho
Lansing, proved itself to be in tho finest
trim. Wo wish that the musical editor of
our esteemed contemporary, the Nfibraxkan,
would enter tho orchestra and find out tho
difficulty of rendering orchestral music. He
then might be much better fitted to resume
the arduous duties on his paper.
Nekbaska University now has a Glee
Club, a Mandolin Club, a substitute faculty
that may be called forth on short notice, and
what is far more important, if true, a germ
of college spirit. PrQtect this germ as you
would protect your very life. Germs do not
generally die without a struggle. If allowed
to live, thoy increase at a marvelous rate.
If the "student body" kills the college spirit
that was made manifest during the last cele
bration, one might almost predict tho eternal
non-existence of that spirit in this institu
tion. Preach not, however, to college stud
ents, lost thoy rise in their wrath and im
print upon thy visage a mark when thou
least oxpectest it.
