Pioneers In Field Of
knowledge.
TWENTY-FIVE GET DIPLOMAS

Twenty-Five graduates, the largest
number in the history Of the Univer-
sity Of Omaha, received degrees at the
seventh annual commencement exer-
cises neid in John Jacobs Memorial
hall last evening. The graduation
marked new epoch in the history Of
the university, as it was the first time
that students of the law department
have held joint exercises with the col
lege OF liberal arts and sciences.
DR.. Irving S. Cutter, dean of the
college Of medicine of the University
OF Nebraska. was the commencement
I speaker. In his talk of the Achieve
.aents of Biological Science" he out
lined the progress made in medicine
for for the last two centuries.
He traced step by step the great
discoveries and their benefits to man.
| He eulogized the work of such scien-
| fists as Pasteur, Morton, Erich, Hun
ter, and Lister. Comparing these SCI
entists to the graduates, he said that
the proof of their ability was not in
what they knew, but in how they
spread it among the people. Just as
these men spread their learning and
helped mankind, he urged the students
to spread their knowledge and help
the less fortunate.
THE people Of this age should re-
spect scientific men," he said. I'm the
past our greatest discoveries were
scolsSa at because their ideas were
somews 1t in advance Of the theories
- lof their time. The debt we owe these
Z people can never be paid. Some OF
zhem spent their entire time and even
T gave up their lives to prove that they
r wcre right. And all for whatl Simply
to try and alleviate the suffering Of
mankind, to add another stepping
stone in the wheel of progress. The
big men toiled for what they got, The
proof Of the ability OF you graduates
lies on the problem now confronting
you"
DR.. D. E. jenkins, president Of the
university, presided at the exercises.
In brief talk he gave resume Of
tbs work accomplished this season.
AT no time in the history Of the uni
r vcrsity has the outlook been as bright
Is At present" he said. I'VE have &C
complished more this year than ever
before, and look forward to the time
in the near future when our present
CAMPUS will be adorned with large

DR.. Jenkins told Of several contribu-
tons to the building fund, and said
that the required amount OF $4,000
for the erection of new building was
practically raised, but that the board
had decided to increase the amount to
$4,000 in order that more substan-
lial structure could be built. The let
