In spite of nil predictions to the con trary, the new oratorical association seems to be a go. Tho constitution has b'cen drawn up and arrangements al ready completed for the first contest. The best wishes of the Nebraskan Hesperian are extended to the move "We feel that the action on tho part of Nebraska "was justified and should bo supported 'by the scudent body. The Nebraskan-Hesperian has over one hundred exchnnges from colleges all over the United States. Inasmuch as there are many students in the uni versity from all sections of the coun try who are interested In other insti tutions, wo wish to offer each and every studont the use of these papers. A largo per cent of them are consigned to tho waf to basket soon after their ar rival. But each one Is carofully gone over and items of Interest clipped from them before they are put to one side. Any student who will call at our office may havo any exchanges that he may (leqlrcLAt any time. The opportunity about to bo given to --t-ho-poople of Lincoln to hear. one of tho world's greatest musicians Is one thatshould bo accepted by us many as '-poBflfblB. It will also bo tho first event , excepting the ball that will bo given -;in tho ;iew nudltorlum. The two fea tures should bring out a large number Mf people. Add to this tho fact that fit is tho first opportunity that resi dents of Nebraska havo ever had of .'hearing Padorewskl, and will bo tho .last thnt they will havo for some ycam 'to come, wo find still greator induce- :monts for a largo attendance at this wtlmo. .', ,V TablCB of statistics published in this (..'Ihbuq of tho papor will provo of great fintorest to our rendors. This work has Vbcon done by tho registrar In a most 'thorough and comploto manner, reqtilr ' lug a vast oxpondlturo of time. Tho t rosults nro vory oncournglng In many ways and Instructlvo In others. Tho overwhelming majority of church ad . horonts speaks well for tho Institu tion. In tho occupation of pnronts the 4rimo gohoral trend Is notlcod horo ns :')n other state Institutions, namely, a 'predominance of tho agricultural cIubb. Muny persons olsowhoro havo spout coiiBldorablo tlmo trying to oxplain tlilB characteristic, but as yot nothing satisfactory has appeared. As a rule, however, it is urged that tho city boy finds more field for his thoughts else whero and for this reason tends to neg lect the educational side. By the fig ures on preparation it Is seen that tho high school Is rapidly replacing the academy and institutions of a private nature This has beep brought about uy tnc ooards ot education in many places In nn attempt to make tho high school a form of preparatory school. Other statements nro equally interest ing and should be Investigated by students. One-half of tho Issues of tho No-braskan-llesporlan Is now completed. In that time the editors have attempt ed to raise tho paper to a higher plane than it has over before occupied. We feci thnt our efforts have baen appre ciated by a large number of persons and wish to thank those accordingly. Many hands have boon extended will ingly to make the paper better and the result of this willingness has been much more nows than has ever been contained In a Nebraska university papor before. During tho second sem ester we wish to raise it to a still higher standard. To do this we must havo the co-operation of each and every studont, professor and Instructor in the institution. The question Is not with us, but with our readers. We urge you to help us In this work, that our university may have tho leading paper in the western college world. Minnesota seems to havo awakened. For the pnst few years that institution has done more tlwiv any other in the west to arouse a genuine university spirit, but until this year efforts seem to havo been unavailing. In some man ner thoy have struck the proper pace at last and If the debate with North western at a recent dnte is a criterion of whnt they can do they deserve a vast amount of commendation. At the debute about two thousand students and friends attended, all wearing the maroon and gold. The enthusiasm was so marked as to call forth a great deal of comment over the country. The spirit seems to hnvo started during the foot ball season and has now trans mitted Itself to other lines. Wo trust that it Is with Minnesota to stay. It is with the sincorost of regret that we are compelled to chronicle in tills Issue of tho paper tho death of ono of Nebraska's most promising alumni, Dr. Amos G. Warner. As a studont, as man of business nnd as professor he has been alike successful. Wherever ho has gone ho leaves friends. Wlmtcvor ho has done, It was thorough. Although still a compara tively young man, ho had already made a iinnio for himself tnat has been heard from ocean to ocean. Ills char acter Is portrayed In IiIb forbearatinn of suffering, evenness of temperament and good will toward all. Although a constant sufforor for sevornl ycara he uttnrcd no words of complaint, his only rogrot boing that ho would bo un able to carry out tho work that ho hnd mapped out for himself. IIIb nnmo will live In iho annals of tho University of Nebraska as ono of the noblest sons of tho Institution. Some tlmo ago tho editors asked for commonts upon tho proposod alumni foot ball gnmo. Sovoral havo boon rc colvod, which will bo published In an other column of this Issue Tho popu larity or tho idea was apparent from 'ho start, and It is now hoped that it will dovolop Into a certainty. Tho pre vailing Idea scorns to bo that it will aroiiBo Interest among tho alumni in tho univorfllty team, and thoy will not only bo ablo to como horo mid ninv Mm game, but will also leurn to show tholr appreciation by staying a few days to assist with coaching. Inasmuch as the alumni would probably put up a team composed of formor stars, it is safe to eay thnt tho new men would receive many points bonoficlal to their work later In tho season. Heretofore, the great troublo experienced by the man agement has boon to arouso enthusi asm early enough in the aeason to got out tho best material possible. The alumni game would go a long way toward blotting out this evil. Expres sions arc still desired from foot ball men on tho subject. In tho eyes of the world at least, tho University of Nebraska is full of fortune. Not long ago it came time for the members of the gonernl assem bly of tho state of Iowa to como to gether. They did so and their excel lency, Governor Shaw, sent to them a message prepared after much labor. It was extensive and exhaustive and touched the needs of tho people In turn. It enmo finally to those of the state university, and much was to be said upon tho management thereof. And to show that this most excellent institution was being outstripped by neighboring seats of learning on ac count of a lack of dollars and pennies, his oxcellency, the governor, brought forth many points, among which wore the following; "Nebraska expends an nually over $.S0,000 in support of its university; Minnesota and Illinois each expends over $350,000; Wiscon sin over $400,000, and Michigan over $500,000, while tho nnnual income of the University of Iowa is $150,038. Iowa cannot compete with othor states without fearlessly meeting the condi tions." Of course, we would not care to speak for tho other states mention ed, but for Nebraska wo are here to talk. Had the legislature which met in this city one year ago given $280,- 000 annually for the support of tho university there would have been such an uproar fiom all sections of the state as has never yot been henrd. Had the university that sum at her dis posal from all sources, It would cause little less than a tumult. Wo feel that we have been misrepresented for tho benefit of auothor Institution. Tho levy placed upon tho peoplo one year ago amounts to $107,000 in round fig ures nnnuully for the present blon nlum, or a total of about $335,000 for that longth of time. From the govern ment, from the salo of public lands and from foes collpcted In the institu tion this amount for tho two years Is Increased to a grand total of $41)0,000, which covers all appropriations for the university. Compared with othor In stitutions, especially tlioso having pio fossloiial schools whore heavy dues are extracted, practically no foes are col lected nero. In Iowa tho moneys col lected ironi tho law, dental and medical dopnrtmontB are almost sulllclont to make thorn solf-suportlng. Leaving, then, the $150,038 mentioned In tho message for tho support or tho other dopartmonts, It would seom to an ob server that Jowa is not faring so badly after all. It might ho added Unit the difference in attendance between the Institutions would Benin to niuko it necessary that Nebraska havo consid erable more monoy to rail bitok on than hor nolghbor.
