Education Is A Trust, Says Nebraskan
LINCOLN, Neb—(I. P.)—The temptation to learn comes most often in an atmosphere where the motive of service follows a recognition of human values, declares Chancellor A. Leland Forrest of Nebraska Wesleyan University. Excerpts from his paper, titled "On the Temptations To Be a Scholar," follow.
"It seems to me that our society has need now for persons who consider their college training, their opportunities to learn, not as commodities to be put upon the market and sold to the highest bidder, but as great trusts to be used in serving, helping, lifting society about us. The concept of service as a social responsibility on the part of an educated man must come to us with a fresh impact.
"I am concerned when I hear the basis upon which young people are making choices of jobs. Their first inquiry is about the retirement system. If I were giving any kind of suggestion to young people going into industry, it would be to find some young company, some company with untried business methods, and to grow with it and make it into something which in the future will provide more than security.
"I think it is good business as well as good philosophy, for a person to look for fields that need some contribution simply because society has gaps which severely need filling. We need persons entering the teaching profession, business, the ministry, the law, and other fields who are willing to give their services wherever people need those particular fields of service. We need to see someone who will carry the concern for society, who wants to give to the generation following us a rich heritage, just as we have received.
"There are so many jobs that need doing. The world has never had greater opportunities, growing out of saddening pain and crisis. My call to you is to use your opportunities to be creative, noble and useful.
There is a political arena to be entered, and you can enter it with the best of service. There is the field of teaching, with the opportunity to guide the minds and thoughts of the generations of American children. These are the calls that are before you. What you do with yourself is entirely up to you.

Ike Named 2nd Best Hatted Man
WASHINGTON—(U. P.)-President Eisenhower isn't wearing any kind of hat these days except occasionally a golf cap to shade his eyes when he's taking the sun on the hospital terrace in Denver.
But when he was up and around, he was a mighty spruce dresser top-side, and the boost he gave to the Homburg rates him second spot on a new list of the "best-hatted men in the world."
The "best-hatted" selections have been made annually for the past decade or so by Happy Rolnick of Garland, Tex., who has a mercenary interest in these matters because he is a maker and seller of male headgear.
Duke Heads List
Duke Head's List Leading the list for 1955 is the Duke of Edinburgh, royalty's leader in men's fashions.
According to Mr. Rolnick, the duke is not as strongly a pro-Homburg man as Mr. Eisenhower. But neither is he anti-Homburg. He wears them when the occasion demands. He also wears numbers with the snap on the brim and on formal occasions, naturally, goes for the silk toppers that look like sawed-off stove pipes.
Mr. Rolnick says the duke's choice of headgear "reflects his royal position combined with a debonair quality which makes him the best-hatted man anywhere."
Mr. Eisenhower is in second place because "his keen style sense reflects an appreciation of the right headgear, for the right occasion. He wears his hats with dignity and authority."
Truman Dropped To 6th Place
Mr. Harry Truman, who led the poll a couple or three times while he was in the white house, dropped to sixth place. But he still "has a keen sense of showmanship, which is reflected in his head covering."
Millionaire sportsman Alfrea Gwyn Vanderbilt is in third place, a "natyty dresser who has a fabulous hat wardrobe."
Sen. Herbert H. Lehman, the Democrat from New York, is fourth because he has a "perfect hat sense," and movie star John Wayne, who goes for a robust taste in masculine headgear and who was first last year, is number five.
The hotel tycoon, Conrad Hilton, who owns almost as many bonnets as he does beds, is seventh. Golfer Ben Hogan comes next because of his "sportsman's sense of color and design."
Frank Sinatra, comes up ninth
zecause he has a "perfect hat sense",
and Adalie Stevenson, who once got
his picture taken with a hole in his
shoe, places tenth for sartorial
excellence at the head level.
Among the honorable mentions are Bing Crosby, Red Skelton, Noel Coward, Joe Louis, William A. Wellman, Marlon Brando, John, Ringling North, Harry James, Michael Wilding, and Gene Kelly.
Veronica Lake Has Heart Attack
DETROIT —(U.P.)— Actress Veronica Lake, famous for her peek-a-boo hair style, collapsed early today and was taken to Receiving Hospital. Physicians there said she suffered a probable coronary occlusion.
Miss Lake, appearing here in the play "The Little Hut," collapsed in the lobby of her hotel. Police rushed her to the hospital where Dr. Norman Goldston said the actress was suffering from an illness "of a serious nature."
'43 Graduate Named Editor Of Magazine
