THE II ES
NEWS FROM PROFESSOR HOWARD
TijISS SMITH very kindly hands us a
( IGJ I! letter from Professor Howard con
;rl taining items that are of interest to
university people generally and especially to
those formerly associated with the Nebraska
members of the faculty of Leland Stanford
university. Among other things the Pro
fessor says: "We hear many igood things
concerning the university; how you are over
run with students, and how you are encroach
ing on the territory of neighboring states.
All this pleases me as much as if I were still
a member of the university. Indeed, I do
not think I shall ever become so much attach
ed to another institution a? 1 am to the old
home."
"Our university is prospering. We now
have over iooo atudents, and the total enroll
ment for the year will probably, reach about
1 150. My own department is in fair
condition. About 550 students are enrolled
in the various history classes." '
Professor Warner, we are very sorry to
learn from the letter, has-been obliged finally
to give up all his work for a year's rest. He
is now in New Mexico. His condition is
serious but it is not thought to be critical,
and it is hoped that a year's rest in a better
climate will restore his health. The hope is
most earnestly echoed by Professor Warner's
many friends here.

THE GAME WE LOST.
UNIVERSITY DOWNED 11 Y DOANE MAINS' MEN
TOO MUCH.
jOJHE day was windy; the dust blew in
ftp clouds, rolling up against the grand
" stand, the spectators and players. But
for all that a good-sized delegation from the
U. of N. tuned up their yells, put on their
colors and repaired to thtPM street park to
see the Uni. again "Down little Doane."
There were also a number from Crete, ready
to shout for the orange and black. It is now
no secret that the Cretans had more reason to
howl than the wearers of scarlet and cream.
The disciples of Crawford have two reasons
to give for their defeat one, that Doane
played better, the other, that Nebraska didn't
play as good.
We believe, however, that had our boys
been in good condition they would haye
taught the Doane fellows a trick or two.
Dern had a bad shoulder and a gamejegj.
Yont was unfit to be on the g?ound;?Frank,
had a broken finger. As it was, our boys
