Perhaps we did not sufficiently impress our mean
ing, last issue, in regard to our advertisers. We meant
that you should notice who advertise in this issue
and give them your trade.
Visions of a new chapel building flit before the
eyes of the faculty as they watch the late-comers
hunt in vain for a seat and at last settle beside a
pretty girl. The gallery-gods must soon be a regu
lar part of the assembly.

The various literary societies have been well at
tended this fall and their prospects are bright. This
is as it should be. We might go on and give the us
ual advice to the new students, but have no doubt
the "workers" for the various societies have already
whispered in the ears of said newcomers all that it is
necessary to say.
To those who would criticise our use of "Dr."
before our engineer's name, we would say that the
number of doctors in our faculty has become so alarm
ingly large that for fear of offending by omission we
have decided to "doctor" every official of the insti
tution. It's a little irregular but will be safest in the
long run. Then all hail, Doctor Johannes Gruen!

It is always well for students to appreciate the
quality and standing of the institution they attend.
Therefore we print the following extracf. from a let
ler to one of our faculty, written by a state entomol
ogist and a man noted in natural history circles.
He says, "I do not wonder, from what I hear of Ne
braska University, that you are pleased with the out
look. It seems to be clearly in the lead west of the
Mississippi which is to say that it is in advance of
many similar institutions on this side of the river."
Coming as this does entirely unsought and unexpect
ed, it is very gratifying. May. we all aid in making
the University to take the place it is surely destined
to attain.
The completion of Nebraska Hall, making a sep
arate home for the sciences and their devotees, sep
arates the students of the various departments more
than ever. This tendency has its bad effects. One
of the great objects of a college education is to broad
en the mind of the student. The association with
those of kindred tastes and pursuits only, tends in.
