CHICAGO CLUB BANQUET.
i
Acting Chancellor Besscy Tells of a
Notable Gathering of Unl
xi . versity People.
jLast Monday morning Acting Chan
cellor Bcsscy returned from Chicago
whore ho attended a banquet given by
the Nebraska university club. In re
ferring to his trip, in chapel, on Tues
day he said:
"I bring to you the greetings of the
Chicago branch of the University of
Nebraska. I was called over there last
week to attend the annual banquet
which is given by the University of Ne
braska club In Chicago. They have a
club of all people who have been mem
bers of the University. I speak of
this because I want to urge you as you
go out from this institution to orga
nize clubs in your home town.
On Saturday night there was a recep
tlontlon at which from sixty to sev
en!; former Nebraska people were
present. It Is not an alumni associa
tion, but an association of thoso who
were connected with the university.
This Is so liberally Interpreted that
Mr. Estabrook, formerly a regent of
this university, was Invited to attend.
Furthermore, as we are to have in six
weeks Dean Judson, of Chicago, to
serve as commencement orator, he was
regarded as belonging to this select
"bWd. In the same way Dr. Andrews,
utBptchancellor elect, was brought with-
:c'Bcreu- circie.i- i hwmi n i i i
I need not toll you about the success
of, the banquet, because university ban
quets are always good. There were
numerous addresses. It fell to me to
respond to tho toast "The University of
Nebraska," in which I tried to give the
people who have been out of the uni
versity a number of years an idea of
Vhat the university Is toaay. When I
mentioned that the total enrollment
foi the year would be more than
twenty-two hundred, they were greatly
astonished, I can assure you.
Dr. Andrews spoke on "The Value of
a College Education to man as ho goes
Into public life." He referred very
largely to the University of Nebraska
as he saw It from his standpoint. After
dwelling on tho material prosperity of
tho university, he referred to the other
sldo which is the largest after all
the scholarship sido. I know from
the way In which ho spoko that he
feels he is not coming down, when ho
come up to the University of Nebraska.
The next speaker was Dr. Judson,
who is the acting president of the Uni
versity of Chicago today, In the ab
sence of President Harper. Ho gave
a jtalk which I wish ho could glvo to
tho students of this university. His
subject was "The College man in Poli
tics." He said "It deponds upon tho
man. There is a stylo of college poll
tics which if carried out into the public
would make politics worse than they
are now. It depends on tho man. It
is not upon tiie simple fact that ho is a
collego man, but he must bo a college
maa with pure motives."
I came away from Chicago with tho
Reeling that the regents had made no
mistake in tho man whom they have
chosen for their leader. At this dls
tanco wo hear a great deal about tho
difficulties which Dr. Andrews has had
with the school board of Chicago.
When.you go there and mingle- with (the
better class ol people you "will find
that Dr. Andrews is right and tho mem
bers of tho school board who are
wrong. Now of course among tho
members of this club I expected to find
this feeling, but when I got entirely
out of university circles and met tho
citizens of Chicago, lawyers, profes
sional men, and business men, I found
tho same opinion prevailed in regard
to tho man who is coming to bo your
leader. I mention this because some
people are inclined to think ho has
gone too far. The people of Chicago
who are there for business and not for
boodle are all on his side. In talking
with a prominent lawyer of Chicago,
ho said, "Nino out of ten of tho tax
payers of Chicago regret tho departure
of Dr. Andrews."

STORY OF A PHI DELT PIN.
Tho following story comes from

When General Frederick Funston, of
Kansas, now commanding a brigado in
the Philippines, was in Kansas univer
sity ho belonged to tho Greek letter
fraternity known as Phi Delta Theta,
and always wore tho badge upon his
waistcoat until ho lost it in Alaska
four years ago. Early this winter,
when workmen were engaged in tear
ing up the floor of an old skating rink
In this city, now known as Convention
hall, they found a badge of curious de
sign among the dust on tho ground un
der the cracks between the boards, and
It was engraved the name of Fred
Funston. Capt. Filer, a clerk in tho
pension office, a friend of Funston's,
having learned of the discovery re
deemed the badge from a bartender to
whom the nnder had traded It for
drinks, and sent it to tho Philippines
to General Funston, who has acknowl
edged it with many thanks. Now tho
mystery is how did that badge find its
way trom Alaska to Washington and
