With the close of the present week,
school work for the year will be practi
cally over. Examinations will begin
Saturday, and from that time, there
will be no rest for the wicked until
the close of next week. The usual
crowding up of work Is noticed in
many departments, which taxes the
powers of the student to the utmost.
Within the next ten days a large ma
jority of the students will leave for
their homes, and the campus will be
gin to take on the same appearance
which characterizes It throughtout the
summer months and which reaches it
height in August.
The Nebraskan-Hesperian, like
everything else will close up shop for
the hot weather. The present num
ber Is the last Issue for the coliegiate
year. A few words of review would
probably not be amiss . We desire to
thank the faithful few for the efforts
which they have put forth to make the
paper a success. To the members of
the journalism class, who have acted
as a board of editors, Is due the credit
for the work which has been done on
the paper. These persons have worked
long and hard .upon what could seem
to them merely a thankless task. Yet
surprising regularity has been de
veloped by many of the members,
which will afford a bit of training for
those who have decided to follow news
paper work In after years. The man
agers take this opportunity to extend
their hearty npproval for the holp
which has been given.
Among the students In general, we
have also found many who were ready
and willing to aid us to get a good
paper. But there should be more.
There should be a dozen where therj
Id one now. The managers believe that
every dpartment of the university has
been covered more thoroughly than
ever before, yet this does not consti
tute all that Is wanted. It is neces
sary to echo student sentiment. It Is
Impossible to do this without the stu
dent body, to a man .behind the en
terprise. This has not been the case
Like every other student work, some
had to complain; not that they were
granted all the rights, for which any
one could ask, but because they did
not see fit to accept these.
As to the work of the University
of Nebraska during the past year, 1
Is scarcely possible to summarize In
this brief space. We are larger
stronger ,and more, advanced than r,
year ago . Any good institution ls
The Idler has little to say this week
except farewell. Ho is like the Inst
rose of summer; That is he rose up and
flourished like the rag weed, passed
in his checks and soon will be home
ward bound.
But it Is necessary to remind tho
seniors of a few things as this Is the
last opportunity. A senior Is a
strange thing; at least ho Is now. A
year from now, he will be a changed
mnn. He will strike tho naw edge of
some of the world's hard tack and ere
he gets through, the consequences may
be direful. Did you over stop to think
of tho school cycle . If you havn't, you
will when you get to he a senior. Next
year, the juniors will be seniors, the
sophomores will be juniors, the fresh
men will be sophomores, and the sen
iors, well, they will be preps
And the Idler knows already that the
preparatory work which they will get
will be an eye opener compared to any
thing ho has run up against so far.
But the Idler is sorry to see the
seniors go and he believes there are
many others the samo way. The class
isn't half bad. They have lots of scrap
In them although they did get a taste
of Waterloo on sneak day. All through
their course they have pulled together
and kept up their end of the rope In
good shape. They have promoted
every class enterprise, worked in com
parative harmony and in genoral have
been a good thing for the university.
As seniors they have done well, carry
ing out the customs of their predeces'
sors, even if they did not get on to
any thing new. It remains to be seen
what they will do in prepdom. It Is
to be hoped, that their success will be
none tho less phenominal.
The gang had a beautiful time in the
parade the other evening. Talk about
spirit! they had it if anybody ever
had it, but it is beyond the Idler to
tell what kind of snlrit it was. We
have howled ourselves sick for college
spirit and when we do get a little
started it turns into a scrap with the
police. Tho Idler Interviewed a prom
inent alumnus In the city, who was
formerly one of the boys, the other
day .upon tho sentiment down town
concerning the students. He was in a
position to know more about it than
any one else und ho insisted that no
matter what wrong might have been
committed by the police and what
abuse might have been heaped upon
the students by that august body, It
did not justify an attack upon the sta
tion, or the destruction of property.
At the samo time, the alumnus was
heartily in favor of getting up all the
excitement possible and having a glor
ious old time. Ho said the sentiment
down town was with the students, but
if property is to be destroyed and
hidlously decorated with varlgated
colors of paint, what citizens could go
to bed at night feeling secure? And
was he not right? Is It not proper that
the student should be a gentleman first
have his own fun in his own way, be
his own boss, but all the time remem
bering that other people have rights
as well as himself, which in tho eyes
of the law must be respected? The
Idler seconds the thought. Have your
fun, have it as you see fit, make all
the noise you can, as long ns you want,
but at nil times bo a gentleman. Au
revoir. tiii: idi.kk.
Yet this sthtomont undoubtedly cioes
not show tho exact status. Had cir
cumstances been different, wo fool,
that three straight would havo been
tho record. Our local oratorical con
tests havo been much discussed and
without doubt are a good thing. With
proper success, tho extemporaneous
oratory will bo assured next year.
Tho next thought naturally is of tho
future. With a proud record for the
year, wo ask what will be done next
year. We will havo a new chancellor,
which will constitute the bulk of thq
change In university controll. For tho
past few years, the proper rolntlon has
not existed between chancellor and
students. Tho former has not been
able to boast that to a man tho stu
dents stood behind him. But this
should be done. In concluding this
short review, let this one thing bo born
in mind. Dr. Andrews is a lover of
students and student Interests. He Is
filled full of thoughts for them and
their welfare. Why not turn tho
1 tables? Can not the students be full
, of thoughts for Dr. Andrews and his
i welfare? Does any one doubt that
i united we stand and divided, we loose
I at every turn? To a man, let the stu
dent body stand behind him, with the
1 thought that he Is guide; his foresight
will bo of service. Let him be judge,
and leader, as well as companion and
i associate for every student, and tho
results will bo by all odds the most
beneficial Nebraska has ever experi

Our development has been gradual but
certain. New courses have been added,
old ones have been dropped, as the
needs required. Tho amount of work
put upon a student seems to bo about
the same as In former years. This, It
may be said, is enough to cause many
complaints for the student body. Some
time ago, efforts were made to deter
mine whether this complaint had just
foundation. Many professors and stu
dents were of the opinion that attend
ants upon some of the other state in
stitutions, worked harder than the
students as a whole do here, but it
was admitted that this was duo to bet
ter previous training in preparatory
lines than the average Nebraska boy or
girl gets. Students do not work so
many hours, but when they are at it,
their powers of concentration are
enough stronger to make an equal
amount of work possible In a shorter
time. To meet this previous training
and to be able to turn out our men and
women on a par with those of other In
stitutions, it follows that more work
and more branches be covered here In
tho four years than elsewhere. This,
of course, can only bo done at t.ie detri
ment of the practical side; that Is, the
business side of the student, the side
upon which ho must depend for a
livlihood. We believe it Is generally
I admitted that in tho ordinary walks
of life, the Nebraska graduate does not
draw the salary that his eastern
brother does. It Is true that the en
vironment may be different there; sal
aries for tho samo work may be more,
but this does not account for the en
tire difference. Our boys are forced
to cram, while the effort which should
go for the all-round development Is
lacking.
Athletically, much might be said
