MR. P. B. WEAVER SPEAKS.
ADDRESS OF WELCOME
TO THE CHANCELLOR.
An audienee which ul most HI led the
auditorium gathered h week ajjo Sat
urday to attend the inauguration, the
full account of which was given in
The Nebra.skan Hesperian last week.
Among those present was Chancellor
H. licnjamin Andrews, who delivered
his inaugural address.
Kegent -10. V. Korell introduced Mr.
1 H. Weaver who spoke, in part, as
follows:
'.Mr. Chairman. Citizens of Lincoln
and Fellow Students: The Tniversity
of Nebraska, with its twenty-Hve hun
dred students, is again in session in
this city. Founded hy an act of the
legislature in eighteen hundred and
sixty-nine, almost as soon as the state
had a corporate existence, this institu
tion grew slowly, hut solidly until the
THIS SOLID COUPLE PROBLEM.
It Is indeed a source of gratification
of some provision for sheltering our
solid couples, than the proper author
ities made efforts to care for them.
Two of the alcoves in the stack room
least frequented hy those who might
annoy the S. C.'s wore set aside for
tlioir use. Chairs and tables were
added to increase the capacity of the
alcoves and chains wore fastened
across the openings from which hung
a sign:
FOR
SOLID COUPLES
ONLY.
Unknown miscreants have since
stolen the sign, hut the actual con
ditions remain the same.
While the efforts of the authorities
to solve this important problem cannot
be too highly commended, we doubt
whether the present attempt will
prove successful.
Will the S. C.'s not object to being
called the "chain gang?"
Will they consent to be thus penned
up together?
Docs not their very condition de
mand Isolation or rather llsolatlon?
(This question contains a 0x8 joke

Will they not break out and seek

Will they not leave the reservation
and give the Librarian trouble In driv

Will not their aggregate oxample
have a bad effect upon the students?

Will the "chain gang" plan stand
the tost of these questions? If not,
some other plan must be devised.
Another problem somewhat similar

an era of development that its enroll

until the beginning of this school year.
HUM), the I'niversity of Nebraska stands
at the head of all of the great educa
tional institutions of the Mississippi
valley.
"In all our past history the future
has never looked so bright; for the
first time, we have at the head of our
university a man known throughout
the whole economic and literary world.
The regents of our university, in mak
ing choice of a successor to Chancllor
MaeLean. must needs be cautious. It
is not every educator, no matter how
learned he may be. who is fit to con
trol an institution of learning'. Not
very head of a university can be suc
cessful as chancellor of the university
of Nebraska. Our regents demanded
that our chancellor should not only
have educational qualifications, and
executive ability, not only that he
should have western ideas of progress
and push, but that he should have in
lividuality sutlicient at all times to
maintain his own manhood. One who
would at all times direct the policy of
the university regardless of partisan
ship. Such a man thej found in E.
Kcujamiu Andrews.

he bought at Webster it Rogers, 1013

the case and we are at loss to account
for It. The offer is certainly a gen
erous one and there are many bright
people in the University capable of
solving the puzzle If they will only
settle down to solid Miinklng.
To make the contest more Interest
ing we have borrowed an automatic
numbering machine vhich is out of
order and therefore skips about from
number to number with agility which
is truly wonderful. The answers will

when all are In the one bearing the
highest number (If it be correct) will
secure the $500. Other regulations
will be published from time to time.
ANNOUNCEMENT.
We wish to say a word about our
comment department. This has no
connection with the editorial portion
of the paper and its contents should
never be taken seriously. The con
clusion that one of our readers came
to lately Is about right. After read
ing the article on men's shirtwaists,
which appeared In the first edition, ho
studied over it for half an hour try
ing to find out what it meant. He
finally came to the conclusion that it
did not mean anything and arose and
began to swear. It Is wrong to swear
hence this paragraph.
Is a legal hanging a case of sus
pended sentence?
A hen has one advantage over man
she never has the toothache.
The West Indian storm need not
hurry about doing it again.
There are summer hotels to burn
almost everywhere. You may want to
find one.

himself everybody else is dissatisfied
