The idea Of a club among the Nebraska

a new one. but like other ideas OF the sort
it was agitated for years before IL became
a reality. students Of the older days
dreamed of closer bond among Nebraska
men which would result in great good both
to their native state and to their adopted
university, but there dreams had their first
tangible result only last year, when a meet
ing was held and the COrnhusker club was
born.
The organization has a dual mission. II
was the hope of those who founded il
that, above every other result, It might
bring the Nebraska men who had journeyed
so far in quest Of an education "a become
better acquainted with each other. These
men remembered their own first homesick

home was balm to a suffering heart, and
they foresaw that smokers and soc al meet
ings where Nebraska men might rub ell

Of this lonesome feeling attendant upon
starting life in so large a school II was
also felt that mating together throughout
the year would bring the men into closer
relationship and bring them a part of the
advantage of acquaintance in Nebraska
which they had largely lost by seeking edu-
cation in a school other than their own
state university.

the clubs founder, and its second object
was to boost the University OF Michigan IN
Nebraska and to attempt to turn the faces
Of more young Nebraskans Ann ArhOr-
ward. How well this purpose has been
accomplished is witnessed by the fact that
the enrolment from Nebraska for the pres
ent year has increased about 80 per cent
over that Of last year and by the other
signif cant fact that, next TO the University
OF Nebraska itself the maize and blue

students from Omaha
May Have Nebraska Club House,
The club was launched so late last year
that it was impossible to secure suitable
clubhouse for the present year. but al
ready committees are hard at work on
plans for another year, and It is distinctly
within the bounds Of probability that when
the school year BILE opens It will find a
goodly number Of the Nebraska contingent
living in a house of their own, with par
lors, dining hall, smoking rooms and all
the comforts of home life. At present the
Keystone club, composed OF Pennsylvania
students, and the New York club are the
only state clubs so situated, and the sue
cess which these boys Of other states have
met i'm their undertakings has led the pro-
moters Of the Cornhusker clubhouse pro-
iect to expect big things.
The constitution of the club provides that
any male student of the university is eli
gible to active membership and the full
privileges of the club. At present over
thirty Of the forty-odd Nebraskans in the
university are members, and each meeting,
of which three have been held already this
fall, brings forth bevy of new Cornhusk-
ers who have been dragged from their hid
ing places and who are taken into the club
membership. Last year the absence of fair
Nebraskans from the university was not
able but the arrival of two "cO-eds" this
