SKETCH OP THE HISTORICAL SO
CIETY. The Nebraska state historical soci
ety was organized on September 25,
1878. The first meeting was held in the
Commercial hotel, Lincoln. Robert L.
Miller was the first president ' ,
Twenty years have passed since the
formation of the society and it has de
veloped from an humble beginning to
Its present position of power and In
nueae. Fm the time of it organi
zation in 1878 until 1883 the society ex
isted more In name than in fact, but
in 1883 the state legislature passed a
law allowing $500 per annum to the so
ciety, and in 1885 the Hoclety was re
organized, with ex-Governor Furnas as
president
Prior to 1893 the society was located
in a small room on the second floor of
the main university building. When
the new library buildinjr was com
pleted the society took possession of
the rooms designated for its use. These
rooms were large enough at first to ac
commodate the growth of the historical
society for many years, but they are
rapidly filling up and larger quarters
will coon be needed.
The work that the historical society
is doing can scarcely be overestimated.
It preserves valuable papers, docu
ments and records of early trans
actions connected with the history of
the state. Tfcen communication with
other historical societies is carxiecl on
and valuable documents are obtained
in this way. Relics of the early his
tory of the state and of the United
States are collected. It is also malclng
a collection of portraits of prominent
Nebraslcans, which will be of Interest
to the people of the state.

FRESHMAN CLASS MEETING.
Saturday the freshmen class held
its third regular meeting for this year.
The meeting was well attended and
considerable enthusiasm manifested.
The first business that came up was
the adoption of a class yell. After
some spirited discussion the following
was adopted:
Sumus! sumus populi!
We're the class of 1903!"
And as a secondary yell this was
adopted:
Rah! rah! rah! rah!
Ne-bras-ka!
1903!
The question of class colors was
voted upon and light blue was selected
as the emblem of the class. Prelim
inary arrangements were next dis
cussed appertaining to the freshman
reception to be held in the near fu
ture. It was decided to leave the en
tire management of details to a com
mittee of seven, to be appointed hi'he
president Mrs. Nettie M. Sherx in
was elected class reporter.
President T. A. Maxwell reports the
class well organized and everything
running smoothly. Arrangements have
been made for the annual freshman
hop, the exact date of which will be
given out later.
The officers for this year are as fol
lows: T. A. Maxwell, president; Mrs.
Nettle M. Sherman, vice president;

when the business part of the meeting

sociation is some $110 richer. It is a
good omen for the future success of our
