The Hint. Hank of Nebraska Is related
In an historical way to the Omaha Na

the Omaha National. Hut the Omaha Na
tional li not an outgrowth of the Stat
bank, or of any other bank. It has never
absorbed any other fiduciary institution,
and It growth has been organic as well
a continuous- from the roots up. When
In i elation with this fact la considered
that the Omaha National is the largest In
Omaha In point of deposits, the. necessary
Inference la that the bunk hart been ably
managed all Its existence to have effected
thla large organic growth.
The State Hank of Nebraska was the
first Nebraska knew. B. F. Allen waa Its
president, and the name of Mr. Allen will
awaken many memories In western bunk
ing clicks. He went ustnasli ut the end In
Chicago, aad his magnificent residence in
lies Moines, la., passed Into the hands of
It. F, Hubhell. the richest man In the Hawk

Oavld Moffat, was the first cashier of the
State hunk. David Moffat Is now presi

These old stock subscriptions ure part of

Interest Is the first note Issued by the

To th average Omahan a tiny piece of
gold modeled Into tho semblance of an cur
of corn and bearing upon Its face the let
ter "M" with a "C" on either side of It
would convey but llttlo meaning. The aame
symbol, however, when worn upon the coat
lapel of soinu thirty of the young Omahans
and other Nebraskans who are enrolled In
the University of Michigan mean to him
who see It, that Its wearer Is a member
of the Cornhusker club, one of the llvest
of the many clubs and societies which
flourish In the Wolverlna institution.
The idea of a club among the Nebraska
student of the university is by no means
a new on, but Ilk other Ideas of the sort
It waa agitated for years before it became
a reality. Students of the older duys
dreamed of a closer bond among Nebraska
men which would result In great good, both
to their native state and to their adopted
university, but there dreams had their f'rst
tangible result only last year, when a meet
ing was held and the Cornhusker club was
born.
The organization has a dual mission. It
wa the hop of thoaa who founded it
that, above every other result. It might
bring tho Nebraska men who hud journeyed
so far in guest of an education to become
better aug,ua!ntd with each other. Then
men remtmbered their own first homesick
days, when even th sight of one from
home u halm to a suffering heart, und
thty foresaw that smokers and soe, al meet
ing where Nebraska nien might nil) el
bows would serve to do way with much
of this lonesome feeling attendant upon
starting life in so large a school. It was
also felt that meeting together throughout
the year would bring the men into clover
relationship and bring them a part of the
advantage of acquaintance in Nebraska
which they hud largely loat by seeking edu
cation In a school other than their own
state university.
Th good of the university was by no
means In the background In tho mind of
tlie club's founder, und its second object
wus to boost the I'nlvers ty of Michigan In
Nebraska and to attempt to turn the faces
of more younR NcbrHskuns Ann Arhor
ward. How well this purpose has been
accomplished is witnessed by the fact that
the enrollment from Nebraska for th" pres
ent year has Increased about 30 per cent
over that of last your and by the other
slgnif.cnnt fact thut, next to the University
of Nebraska Itself, tho maize and blue
school draws the largest number of
tudenl from Omaha.
Mar Have ehmsVn Club Hon.
The club was launched so lat last year
thut it was Impossible to secure a suitable
olubhouse for tho present vear, but al
ready committees are hard at work on
plans for another year, and It Is distinctly
within the bounds of probability that when
the school year 1911-12 opens it will find a
goodly number of th Nebraska contingent
living In a house of their own. with par
lors, dining hall, smoking rooms and all
the comforts of home life. At present the
Keystone club, composed of PennsTtvanla
students, und the New York club are the
only state clubs so situated, and the suc
cess which these boys of other states have
met In their undertakings has led the pro
moters of the Cornhusker clubhouse pro
ject to expect big things.
The constitution of the club provides that
any male student, of the university is cli
giblo to active membership und the full
privileges of the club. At present over
thirty of the forty-odd NebruskuiiH in the
university are members, and each meeting,
of which three have been held already this
full, brings forth a bevy of new Cornhusk
ers who have been drugged from their hid
ing places and who aro taken Into the club
membership. Lost year the absence of fair
Nebraskans from the university was not
able, but the arrival of two "co-eds" this
fall has raised a new problem for the busy
club, and It is now a matter of consider
able discussion as to whether tho club,
hitherto exclusively masculine, will admit
these "co-eds" to Its membership.
Any person with Nebraska affiliation
who has the purposes of the dub at bean
is eligible for honorary membership. Kariy
this year the entire Nebraska membership
of tho Missouri Valley Alumni association
i of the university bus brum taken Into hon-
orury membership, and these men huve slg-
Ml fled their pleasure at the action of th
j club by expressing their deslr to help In
1 every possible way Its advancement.
The club has found considerable favor
with tho university faculty, who, realizing
the worthiness of Its objects, have been
i ready to help It In every way. Tho most
f nthusHstlc members of the club are sev
1 eral of the university professors who have
j been Nebraskans.
1 Among the faculty men who have lent
their support to the club are Victor It.
Mcl.ucaa, who has only this year given up
his law practice in Omaha to accept an
asslntant professorship in the law depart
ment;' Dean T. Smith, professor of surgery
In the Homeopathic college and formerly
conected with the University of Nebraska;
Arthur S. Pearse, instructor In itoology,
formerly of Omaha High school, and Wal
ter li. Plllsbury, director of the pshycho
logical laboratory.
John W. Chapman of Kearney Is the
club's president, C. J. Abbott of Hyanms
is vice president, Max Merrell of Falrbury
is treasurer and W. L. Campbell of Belden
Is treasurer.

names of many of the men who aro doing
most for the success of the various activi

gieut university follows:
