school from tho present campus lit Lin
coln to tho stato farm, nt tho annual
meeting of tho local organization, held in
tho University club qunrters.
Considerable discussion of the resolu
tion took place before Its adoption, nnd
only two men both Omaha members of
the executive committee of the Nebraska
Stato Alumni association, which recently
went on record ngalust rcniovid wcro
heard to protest agulnst tho proposed en
