Summer skies and roses, and com
mencement exercises everywhere in the
land! In the high school and the col.
lege, ir the noble university, in every
locality where there is an institution of
learning, the interest of the community
is centered for a few brief hours upon
the young men and maidens who are
completing the one line of work which
they have attempted, and are now look
ing forward to other fields, and other
struggles, and the widened experience
which years alone can give. In the
grammar Bchool and the university the
same idea prevails. The underlying
principle is that of conquest, and
whether the enemy has been weak or
mighty, the consciousness of victory is
the same.
The little roll of blue-ribboned parch
ment, innocent in appearance, has an
almost hypnotic effect upon its recip
ients. Not one of the thousands of
graduates this week can receive it un
moved; and the particular emotion ex
cited in each student's breast largely
depends upon the size of his bump of
egoism. To many this occasion is in
deed a "commencement," marking the
accomplishment of the first stage of
life's journey. Toothers and the list
is not short it celebrates the acquisi
tion of all knowledge necessary for this
world and the next, and is tangible evi
dence of the superior quality of twen
tieth century brain-matter to that which
was considered creditable fifty years
ago. Thera is a tendency among young
persons, when they begin to experience
some mental quickening, to imagine
that their pond of thought is a shore
less sea, and to believe there is some
thing peculiar in the penetration and
grasp of their minds which qualifies
them to challenge all traditional or her
editary beliefs at Bight.
At no time in a man's life does he feel
hie individuality more strongly than on
his graduation day. To the audience
there is a strange monotony in the rows
of black-coated, white-robed victors,
but to each man and woman of them
the difference is very great indeed. In
the heart of every one is the unspoken
conviction that his particular life will
be of most advantage to the world, that
his aims are the highest, and that his
achievements will be the most lofty of
all the class. For the encouragement
of these hopeful ones we can only say,
in the words of Lowell: "No power can
die that ever wrought for good."
The world of society has felt a respon
sive thrill from the festivities at the
high school and university. Class re
unions and fraternity meetings have
been the feature of the week, and the
beautiful homes of Lincoln have been
opened freely for the entertainment of
the student-guests.
Sixty-five members of the association
of collegiate alumnae were entertained
by Miss Helen Harwood on Tuesday
afternoon. An interesting talk on "So
cial life at Oxford," was given by Mrs.
W. G. L. Taylor. Mrs. Taylor con
siders the English hostesses more tact
ful, though less graceful than their
American sisters. Simplicity character
izes even the large Eoglisb. parties, but
the strongest feature of social life in
England is the afternoon tea. "Uni
versity life in Berlin," was Miss Cham
berlin's subject Women are allowed
to attend lectures on presentation of a
diploma and passport, but it is exceed-
ingly difficult for a woman to enter for a
degree. Of the four hundred women in
attendance last year only one was work
ing for a degree. Miss Pound's experi
ence at the University of Heidelberg
differed slightly in the fact that fifty
women were studying for the doctor's
degree which had already been granted
to several other women students. The
final examination in a Heidelberg stu
dent's career is attended with great
ceremony. It is oral and lasts about
two hours; the women usually are dress
ed in black, while the men appear in
dress suits and white gloves. The pro
gram was closed with a talk ou "The
educational features of Oxford life," by
Miss Tremaine. Women are allowed
the use of the fine reference libraries
and are admitted to the lecture roomp,
but no degrees are given them. A
business meeting followed the program
atwhich Mrs. H. H. Wilson was elected
president, Miss Duncan vice president,
and Miss Harwood secretary-treasurer.
The celebration of ivy day, common
in eastern colleges, was inaugurated in
the University of Nebraska by the class
of 1001 on Tuesday afternoon. The
seniors marched from the Solciers' me
morial hall to the library building at
four o'clock, wnere the following pro
gram was given under the direction of
the class president, Mr. Swenson: Song,
"Nebraska;" introductory address, Pro
feasor P. M. Fling; ivy oration, Mr. N.
M. Graham; university hymn, "Alma
Mater of tho PlainB;" ivy poem, MisB
Louise Van Camp; planting of the ivy
by the president, Mr. Svenson. The
trowel with which the ivy wcb planted
was given to the president of the junior
class.

plimentary telegram was received from

ber of the class, after which the follow
