Have you seen the mastodon? , . bo mado to keep thoao in close cheekiest the bounds of college custom and law bo overstepped and college etiquette be abusedr Ono or two instances are reported of senior canes being taken from the rooms of the owners. This course of action seems to bo going a little too far. It would seem as though the pri vate room of a student would come under the theory that a man's house is his castle, and that ho who would enter it when the occupant was away, either by stealth or by force, was go ing beyond the spirit of a joke into the seriousness of theft. Students should distinguish between a joke and a crime, be tween taking a cane from a negligent senior, for example, at a Sunday dinner when he has become absorbed in conversa tion with his lady company, and the malicious stealing of the cane from his private room when ho is absent. Lot every junior who desires to preserve the respect of his class, endeav or to make the bettor rules and customs in college pranks prevail. I would rather bo president than own a senior cane. The election of Mr. Poarso as foot-ball manager for another year is a step in the right direction. Mr. Pearso is an old player of much ability. Ho is popular with his acquaintances and has the business tact and energy necessary to make his management successful. There has been considerable complaint lately among the atholetos and managers at the gymnasium on account of the insufficient supply of lockers. At present there aro from two to four persons occupying each locker, and this not only cause dissatisfaction and inconvenience, but actually provonts many frorn taking regular work in tho gymnaseum. Unless the number of lockers aro increased tho department of physical training will be greatly hindered in doing effective work. "I have received suggestions of value in the preparation of tho book from a number of correspondents, but I am under especial obligation for such suggestions to Professors Lucy M. Salmon of Vassar College and Fred Morrow Fling of the Uni versity of Nebraska'" This is what George Burton Adams, Professor of History in Yale University, says in tho preface to his book on European History which has just been published. This recognition of Dr. Fling by one of tho groat American historians is an honor to our University. For some time Nebraska has been grow ing in prominence to historical students. Not only in our University ha3 this interest been excited, but in tho progress of historical method in tho high-schools and oven in the coun try schools of the state. From tho University has gone forth an army of students who have had more or loss work in history under tho source method and they have driven tho old meth ods out of the schools and have planted there tho standard of tho modern systom. Tho Hesperian cannot but praise tho earnest efforts of Li brarian Wyor to maintain order in tho library. No ono can bo more gonial and accommodating than he and yet ho v fools that any disorder cannot bo toloratod. Tho Hesperian be liovos that tho-oarnost students of tho Univorsity should stand by Mr. Wyor and show him that his efforts aro appreciated. Tho moral codo in tho library should bo such that any disorder or talking should bo frowned upon. Tho Hesperian believes that such a codo is being adopted. The season of the year so apt to engender class strife, when college spirit runs high, is here. Tho juniors have already mado several marauding expeditions and soc.jrod some few senior canes and hats. While college spirit is what wo want, and class enthusiasm is to be expected, yet every effort should Dr. Guernsey Jones has boon ill during tho last week. Tho Gleo Olub had its picture taken Thursday, for Junior Annual. Prof. Brunor addressed Farmers' Institute at Wahoo Thurs day, and at Benedict Friday. Harry Smith, who broke his leg Ohartor.Day, is getting along nicely, at tho homo of Dr. Graham. Missouri writes our debating association secretary that their association has selected a question, but foar it is not time to send it yet. Miss Anna Anderson entertained her friends on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at 1854: Holdroge St. In spite of tho bitter cold, a good crowd attended each evening, and spent the time vory pleasantly. " -Jf J. "W. Soarson has been elected to the history department of tho Lincoln High school. He recently finished his mas ter's lhasiB and returned to his home at Grand Island. Th'b Univorsity seems natural again, now that Searson is hoia. . , BJESH
