This book also highlights the iconic buildings and landmarks on campus and the activities and experiences of students, from the East Campus Dairy Store and the \u003ci\u003eDaily Nebraskan\u003c\/i\u003e to a celebration of the Big Red sensation of Husker athletics, recognizing outstanding coaches and student-athlete achievements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDear Old Nebraska U\u003c\/i\u003e highlights creative inventions and groundbreaking research, from Charles Bessey's botany classes to the Jeffrey S.
