The Univc tsity of Nebraska Club

He says it will be more this year than
in normal times and that there will be
no chance' to earn money, and that
there is a general increase of prices in
Paris already. The only safe plan
will be to take enough money to pay
all expenses.
Trained civil engineers from The
University of Nebraska have been
constantly in demand by the govern
ment and railroad companies. Among
the undergraduates who have recently
left the University to accept such
positions are: Fred B. Ryons, who
went to Havana, Cuba, to fill a posi
tion in the government corps of engin
eers; S. D. Clinton, A. T. Groff, E. S.
Shinbur and G. H. Tinker, all of
whom left to accept similar positions
with the Burlington Railway Com

ner's body to his mother, Mrs. H. B.
Wilkinson, at Western, Neb., and the
body of A. C. Sims to S. J. Arnett,
Madison, Neb. Both of these soldiers
Hied of disease in the hospital at
Manila in the fall of 1898.
The paper on "Literature of India,"
by Dean A. H. Edgren, Ph. D., of
The University of Nebraska, recently
published in the home study circle
column of the Chicago Record, is of
interest to all lovers of literature, and
should be of interest to all students.
The paper shows that although this
l'terature is very old it reveals some
beautiful sentiment. Tne Hindoo lit
erature, though largely religious and
philosophical, is also in no small de
gree secular. The poems which the
people sang to their gods are good
evidence of their aesthetic spirit.
