Chancellor Samuel Avery of the
University of Nebraska comedies that
the charge of II. Y. Crane of Chicago
as to the growth of intemperanCe in
our higher educational institutions
has a larger measure of truth in it
than he wishes it had. But he thinks
that the mental intemperanCe that Is
sweeping over the land is even more

tion of patriotic and conscientious
men which has been so freely indulg
ed in. He believes that Calmer and
safer period Is approaching Chancel.

Strengthened financial conditions, un-
assisted, are the salvation of the col
leges of the land both eduCationally

institutions of learning throughout

| ing heavy on their hands because

able thing to have aimed at you if you
were a mile or so up in the air. But

on ayiators since they are sure to
break their own necks before they
have time to do much mischief.

Attorney General Wickersham stat
ed the cause of a large share of the
