Judge Ernest B. Perry, '99, of Cambridge, recent candidate for judge of the supreme court, and Judge Lincoln Frost, '86, of Lincoln, a prime mover in the social welfare activities of the state. But I realize the danger of trying to do justice to the several thousands of men and women who in every corner of the big state of Nebraska are quietly yet faithfully doing their share, whether it be in the home, on the farm, or in public service.
As the alumni who remained within the state have done credit to their University, so likewise have those who have ventured forth, whether it be in this country or in other lands. And difficult as it seemed to select the men most worthy of mention within the state, it is far more difficult to do so among those who went elsewhere.

In education appear the names of Dean Roscoe Pound, '88, of Harvard Law School; President A. F. Woods, '90, of the College of Agriculture, Maryland; and Chancellor Edward C.

Fisher, '98, consulting geologist and fuel engineer of Denver who has just been appointed by the War Department one of seven commissioners who are to determine the available oil and gas resources of the nation. In medicine, Dr. Charles A. Elliott, '95, of Northwestern University, is a member of a recently appointed commission of five men who will devote their scientific knowledge to a study of the yellow fever scourge in South America.
