MONO the man? men, and
there are mnnjr of thfm.
whom the state university
has been most ably repre
sented, not th least con
spicuous are Chancellor Sam
el Avery, the lata Dean Charles E. Bps
bo y. Dhd W. O. Hastlnrs of the College
f Law, Dr. George E. Condm, head of
the conservation and soil survey depart
ment, and Dean Edgar A. Burnett of the
Stat Agricultural school.
Chancellor Avery took his present por
tion In 1908. The achievement which ho
and his friends feel Is of the greatest
lue to the university and which will
tnaks him long remembered by the peo
ple of the state as an educational states
man of broad caliber, Is the part ha took
In the settlement of the troublesome unl
Terslty location question by a vote of
the people and the procurement of a
three-fourths mill levy for the expansion
of the city campus and the construction
of new buildings. By this act alone. In
leas than six years' time, the physical
plant of the Institution will be rice
than twice the present slse and wilt he
equipped to accommodate more than
twice the present number of students
The activity of Chancellor Avery In the
matter of university extension has prob
ably resulted, or will result. In the most
significant development that the unlver
alty nay experience In Its history.
The late Dr. Charles B Beseey was one
dti the milestones In the university his
tory. His fame as a botanist of Interna
tional repute, his labors In Nebraska for
the benefit of the people of Nebraska, his
long years of devoted service to the uni
versity he loved so well, in spite of op
portunities for a more lucrative service
elsewhere, his great kindness, natural
sympathy and close persons! touch with
the students; these and many other ele
ments of greatness, made Dr. Bessey al
most an Institution within an Institution.
Through Dr. Bessey the University of
Nebraska became known to a large num
ber of people who might otherwise have
remained Ignorant of its great services.
Dr. Bessey was one of the largest and
best advertisements th Institution ever
had and the university feels his loss
most keenly.
For more than a decade Dean W. o.
Hastlnrs had been at the head of the Col
lege of Law and has behind him a record
for honesty, efficiency and broad scholar
ship, both as a law pracUtloner, Judge
and teacher. Ills ability to answer al
most any question propounded to him by
his students, his ardent fairness. Justice
and tact In dealing with students and
their problems have greatly endeared him
to several generations of Nebraska gradu
ates In law. Through him the university
has gained In popular support.
Tho conservation and soil survey and
Dr. George 1 Condra are synonymous
terms. One goes with the other. They
have been so closely associated during
the last row years and especially the last
two years that nobody ever thinks of one
vlthout the other. As head of this de-t-.rtrr.ent
Dr. Condra has done a great
work. In his soil survey and his bring
ing to the people of the country the state
of Nebraska at close range through the

motion picture machine and the screen,
he has probably done more than any
other one man to give the true condi
tions of the state to the world at large.
Large numbers of contemplated purchas
ers of lahd can thank Dr. Condra because
he was able to furnish them with the
true condition of the soil In sections of
the slate .where contemplated purchases
were to be made. To his constructive
renlue the people of the state have been
brought In closer touch to what their own
state really Is and the people of many
other states have come to know Ne
braska better and have gained a closer
'ew of Its great resources.

ciate dean. In 1909 he organised the ag
ricultural college and was made dean.
At that time the only building on the
grounds was the present experiment sta
tion hall, but now the hall la surrounded
with many find buildings. Since his
connection with the school Dean Burnett
baa organised four sub-stations of the
university In different portions of the
state to enable those who desired the
education taught In the agricultural to
gain It without the expense of a long trip
to the main school and the expense of
being so far from home. He has made
a grand success of the school and to his
good training many a farmer boy and
girl can be thankful that they have gone
back to the farm better equipped for the
duties of the farms and household or with
a better knowledge of farm life and able
to Instruct others along agricultural line a

to cater to all classes of business la a
problem of considerable magnlture, and
the Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph
company, with plants In twenty-four
counties south of the Platte river, has
solved It in the light of all available
services.
The work has not been achieved In a
day. There have been countless details
to work out and many hills to surmount
in the process. From President Frank
Woods down to the merest trouble shooter
on the lines the idea has been "service,
torvice, service."
The public has had a hand In It all.
Through tho railway commission most of
the changes incidental to the development
of the big bus.ness have been closely
looked Into, and every phase has been
subjected to the Inspection of experts.
The resultant service la one that Ne
braskana can feel Is the best to be
had under present circumstances and
as good as can be had n mar other state
of the union.
Manager L. E. Hurts, together with
George Qann. R. IS. Matteson. and M. T.

railway commission allowed them to be
