Ho who knows he makes mistakes is always learn
ing .something.
There is n unusual amount of entliuiam for
base hall this spring. The university has a good
nine ami are to play with some strong teams They
will play practically the only base ball games in
Lincoln this year ami there is no reason why the
attendance should not he splendid. The convening
of the campus into a ball lield is a wise movo as it
enables many to attend names who could not or
would not take the time to go to the park.
In the loss of Dr. Wolfe the university loses, not
only one of its ablest and most popular professors,
but one of the sluing men of the country. No loyal
student but must regret this. It is diflicult for the
student body to understand just why it is necessary
for the university to sustain this loss. There may
be some inside history which justifies the action of
Jho "powers." Such justification is not apparent to
the student body. The action of the "peace eon-
cert" seems unwarranted and impolitic-.
"The powers that be are ordained of God" was
once a living maxim of government. Sovereignty
was infallible, divine. Today, law and order imply
necessary respect to the powers that be-provided
the powers that be, through broad eflicienc.y, dial
enge respect. Students in general are not "anarch
ist," The recent manifestation of student sentiment
was not "rash" but born of a deep seated conviction
that justice had not been duly meted out. Hut the
powers' had spoken. With no attempt at anarchy,
but with ii feeling of personal loss, the students pro
tested. They were not heard, There are not now
daily spectacles and demonstrations, but there is a
deep undercurrent of controlled feeling growing in
intensity daily. What seems to be a lnanifWm
justice never finds sanction or sympathy in tin
heart of the great student body.
Glee Club Concert.
There has always been complaints of lack of col
lege spirit in the university until this year The
