Editorial Note: Contained within this document are selections from the scrapbook of Adelloyd Whiting Williams, entitled "University Days of Adelloyd Whiting 1894-1902" The images were selected for the representation of the student and academic life of a female physical education student at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, c. 1900. The order of the images does not represent the actual scrapbook, as it was unbound and put into folders at an unknown time.

The regular program of the after-
noon was in charge of the physical
training department, with Mrs. E. A.
Wood presiding. The first part of the
entertainment was a concert in the
Temple theater by Miss Jude Deyo,
contralto, and Harry Duboff, violinist,
with Miss Ruth Bagnell at the piano.
The program was exceptionally heavy
but well chosen. The dramatic num-
bers of Miss Deyo's group were par-
ticularly intense and powerful. The
concert numbers were as follows:

Tschaikowsky, "Melody in F;" Hahn,
"Where My Songs with Wings Provided;"
MacDowell, "The Sea;" Strauss, "Devo-
tion;" Massenet, "meditation from
"Thais;" Salter, "The Cry of Rachel;"

on the Skee;" Allitsen, "Unto Thy
Heart."

At the conclusion of the program in
the Temple, the club adjourned to at-
tend the second part of the entertain-
mentin the university gymnasiusm.
The crowd filled the bleachers of the
gymnasium to watch the athletics class
of the club give exhibitions of military
marching, Swedish dances, Danish folk
dances, wand drills and Indian club
drills. When the relay race began
the spirit of cheering which infests a
contest floor became manifest even
among dignified club women. Thirty-
two women entered the exhibition
yesterday. The class, which is under
the instructorship of Mrs. Fred C.
Williams, formerly an assistant gym-
nasium teacher at the University of
Nebraska, has met but one hour a
week since the first of October. The
ages of the members vary from
twenty-five to forty. Some of the
work exhibited yesterday was excep-
tionally good and won the applause
not only of club members but of gym-
nasium students who watched the per-
formance.
