The University Student Volunteer Band is a very small unit of a great world movement which had its origin in 1886 at a student conference at Northfield, Mass. An organization now exists in nearly all of the leading colleges of North America. The purpose of this movement is two-fold: to furnish the mission boards of the United States and Canada with a supply of capable volunteers for foreign work, and to lead the students whom God does not call to become missionaries to make their lives count most in developing a strong home base to hack up the foreign work.
      During the lifetime of the movement nearly 6,000 have sailed and are now doing active service as foreign workers.
      The undergraduate members in the University of Nebraska include the following students:

     R. L. Ewing and E. A. Worthley are also members of the band.

     Several recent graduate members of the band are completing their preparation in graduate training schools. There are now thirty-five graduates of the University of Nebraska in missionary work in foreign lands.
