NNOCENTS,
honorary organization composed of thirteen senior men,
was founded in 1903 by four men in the University who
saw a necessity for an organization of students that
would lead the student body in many of its traditions
and affairs. The thirteen men are chosen at the end of
their junior year by their accomplishments during
their underclass days and their promise of service for
their senior year.
Announcement of the
new members is annually made on Ivy Day, at the
"Tapping" ceremony, in which the old members "tap"
their successors.
Activities have been
built up and increased in the twenty years of endeavor
of the society. This year the Innocents sponsored such
events as Freshmen Initiation, Cornhusker banquet,
greencap tradition, football rallies, the Olympics,
Dad's Day, entertainment for visiting high school
basketball teams, and other work looking toward the
formation of a Nebraska spirit and loyalty of the
highest type.
Each year an Innocent
from the faculty is chosen to aid the active men in
their work. Dr. George Condra and Coach Henry Schulte
served as alumni advisors this year.
