The time is approaching t r the au-
nual distribution BY colleges and uni
gorsitics of honorary degrees to men
occupying more or less prominent posi-
ions in the public eve. The selection
Of names for such honors is perennial
source Of concern to the trustees Of in
situations of learning; for each name
proposed must be carefully considered,
aud its value closely calculated The
theory upon which inal selection is made
is that the presentation Of an IA. d :"
"Ph, D :" or other honorary degree
is an unsolicited recognition OF high
attachments in special walks of life, and
that tie degree is given without ana
quid pro quo whatever
How often. We wonder. is this theory
exemplifed in practice? Is it not true
that frequently universities convey these
parchment scrolls for consideration,
implied, not actually expressed? The
consideration may be ola mo etary char
acter. or it may be of a political char
acter, or it may be simply of an adyer-
Using character When college in
Kansas, for example, eonfers a degree
upon Lord Kelvin or President McKin
lev, we NAV be pardoned for suspecliug
that the modest institution Of learning
seeks to make its own name shine with
a reflected light. When a compoundel
of pills or of patent nostrums is similar J
] favored by some obscure institution ",
naturally expect to bear of a quid pr
quo in dollars aud cents.
Would it not he a coed plan to reeog
nizq the quid pro quo openly in thes'
matters? Instead ofappropriating non
orary titles already existing, why no
employ new one to suit the cir,um
stances, and call it by its proper classical
name, 'quid pro quo?" Then the reel
pents could proudly write 20. P. Q
after their names without fear of crit
cisml
Seriously, the indiscriminate granting
of honorary degrees is subject for TIL
careful consideration of college trustees
in order that the custom of comforting
such titles may not fall into disrepute

GRADING PROGRESS
The ground nearly ready for the
iron. -

Wednesday and Thursday chief
engineer h. =. White, and chief con-
tractor r. A. Ely took an inspection
trip over the new work of building
the Burlington extension.
There is only about five miles of
grading yet to do between Worth
iugton and Wilmont and that will be
finished IN about week. The bridg-
es are being built as fast as material
can be hauled out. This is very slow
work on account of the bad roads
caused by the recent heavy roads.
Work was commenced on the tenn
porary track west of the ice house
Friday afternoon. After the grading
is done through the village, laying of
the iron will be commenced at once.
The temporary track is extended
so far west because the Omaha track
will be raised to the point of connec.
tion. If the Burlington connection
was put in any nearer town they
would have to raise their ira OK the
same time the Omaha did, but leav-
ing the Omaha so far from town the =
