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

J. "W. Soarson has been elected to the history department
