THE DAILY NEBRASKAN, not last Wednesday has an interesting editorial on Nebraska's football outlook for next year. Aside from pointing out that Nebraska is in a position to secure games next year with Iowa, Illinois and Minnesota, the editorial says that Nebraska has proven her ability to play up to the "Big Nine" standard. The editorial says: "Success in college football is not confined to winning alone, but to creating and maintaining friendly relations with other institutions and encouraging sportsmanlike conduct both on the part of ourselves and by our example on the part of our opponents. That is the true secret of college athletics and we believe that much has been done here this year towards promoting the means to such a desirable end. In meeting such strong teams as may be scheduled for next year, we have two opportunities, both of which are apparent. We will have an opportunity to excel all past records and to strengthen our ties with other institutions. Both of these aims are of equal importance, and a double victory will be ours if both are realized."
Such ideas coming from Nebraska does our hearts good, especially since Kansas did her share in teaching Nebraska the importance and truth of such ideas. It is sad, though, to think that Nebraska is making up at such a late date. Although Kansas does not consider herself as a possible rival of the "Big Nine" teams, she would enjoy a few more games with Nebraska.
Keep up the good work Nebraska, we heartily approve of your new ideas. We are indeed glad that you will have an opportunity to excel all your past records, and we rejoice with you in the thought that you believe in strengthening your ties with other institutions.
MOST OF THE students are dreading the final quizzes which come next week. The Medics, however, are the only class which has really stiff quizzes.
BOSTON UNIVERSITY is fully convinced that coeducation is not conducive to matrimony. If it would read the alumni department of the
Graduate Magazine of Kansas University, it might even yet change its mind.
IN VIEW OF the fact that many well educated persons are unaware that they do not speak correctly, it might be expedient for the University to offer a course in Correct English. Having had the advantages offered by our English department, many students might think that a course of this kind was not for them, forgetting that after one's collegiate days are over the association that engendered a high standard of expression has been severed, and that unless one "keeps up" that standard, we will surely retrograde. Many questions arise in regard to grammatical construction, which are not included in any one course. Even the college graduate may discover that, after all, there are innumerable questions which never occurred to him during his collegiate work, for no one course on this subject treats of them all.
Such a course was suggested to several seniors. "It might be all right for the new beginners," said one, "but when one is a senior they don't need it." "I do not need it at all," said another, "as I always speak correct."
Miss B,—"Did you enjoy your self at the concert last night."
Miss S.—"Really, I enjoyed myself so much that I quite forgot about myself."
NEWSPAPER IN a western Kansas town reported the home coming of a young lady student at vacation time by saying that she "came home to visit her parents and her man friends." Of course it was a typographical error.
TWO YALE GRADUATES recently held a reunion in a cell at police headquarters in Chicago. College students are always seeking for something new and unique.
Shakespeare borrowed Romeo and Juliet, from a novel entitled, Rhomoeo and Julietta, by Boistea, French, whose author borrowed it from an Italian story by Bandelio (1554), all of which goes to show that "unconscious assimilation" was not unknown even in those days.
Richardson, the novelist is called the Shakespeare of Prose Fiction by D'Israeli. Have you ever read one of his works?
"Then you must admire Sir Walter Scott?" exclaimed the student in the 19th con prose class, with sudden animation. "Is not his Lady of the Lake extensive in its flowing pace and pathetic imagery! Is it not—" "It is perfectly lovely," his lady friend accented elasping her hands in ecstacy. "I suppose I have read it a dozen times." "And Scott's Marmion," he continued, "with its rugged simplicity and marvellous descriptions. One can almost smell the heaters on the hearth while pursuing its splendid pages."
"And Scott's Emulsion," he continued lastly, for a faint suspicion was beginning to dawn upon him.
"It's perfectly grand," she
"I think," she interrupted rashly, "that it's the best thing he ever wrote."
A FAMOUS PROFESSOR, whose hobby was the derivation of words, had occasion to store his furniture while proceeding to the continent in quest of the origin of the term "juggins." During his researches in Berlin, he received from the warehouse company the following letter: Sir;-We have the honor to inform you that the mattrass you sent to our store had moth in it, since the epidemic would expose the goods of other clients to injury, we have caused your mattrass to be destroyed." The professor replied: "Dear Sir;-My (mattrass) may, as you say, have had a moth in it, but I am confident that it had an "e" in it also.
WHEN ROBERT BROWNING was asked to explain one of his passages, he responded: "When I wrote that poem there were only two persons who understood its meaning, myself and the Almighty; and now there is but one, for I have forgotten it."
"WOULD YOU SAY 'honest politics is, or are?' "Is, of course, honest politics is always singular.
