showing different phases OF college life.
The reading matter begins with this
statement; "Fitst Of all, tho University
OF Omaha Is reality. II Is an estab-
lished institution" 1t then goes on TO
tell OF the needs Of the growing genera
ton, II says there has long been felt
the need for a university that Is a Chris
tian school and yet free from the restric-
lions of sectarianlsm, and that the Unit
versity OF Omaha is meeting that need.
striking comparison is drawn be-
tween the auspicious beginning OF the
local institution and the trials and strug-
giles that some OF the largest universities
in. the country experienced when they
were first founded The new university
has rs n model Harvard, for II. too, was
founded and supported for many years
by popular subscription.
one thing not widely known, w.ich this
booklet brings forth, is that so per cent
Of the students In attendance at American
universities reside within radius of
forty miles from the place OF learning.
