The College play Will Be Given in the Auditorium next Friday Evening. For various reasons the "Play" was postponed a week. This is a little disappointment to all concerned perhaps, but waiting will only improve the effect we are sure. It is decided now definitely for next Friday the 18th. Remember it.

He chose for his address, "Secrets of Success." As an example of a successful man he suggested Joseph of old, shoAving how we might learn the secrets of success in life from the life of the patriarch. No one could fail to enjoy and be benefited by his talk. Mr. Webb B. Hill of Boston, assisted the vesper choir and sang two selections that were much enjoyed. Stetson Literary Society. In order to attend the political speaking down town, Saturday, only a short meeting was held. The program as rendered was on the whole very .satisfactory. A very full account of Current Events by Miss Hampton started the ball rolling. Next was a recitation by Mr. Allen. The speaker chose for his recitation Burns' "A Man's a Man for a' That. Mr. Botts was as excellent as he ELIZABETH HALL—STETSON UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS. The game of ball played last week against the "Ormond Giants" should have been mentioned in the last issue of the Collegiate. For some reason, however, is was overlooked; therefore we shall speak of it now. By a great maiiy people, it was pronounced the best game that has been played here. The line-up was a very strong one, and proved effective, as those who witnessed can testify. Lyons, in the box, pitched an unusual good game and the support given him from every position was superb. "Little Hall" at second base demonstrated over and over again his ability as a player of the American game. All the fellows did good batting and may well be proud of the showing made. The eighth inning found Stetson leading by a score of 4 to 1, but here Ormond took a brace, and the ninth inning closed a tie score, 4 to 4. The tenth was exciting, but did not conclude the game for the score was still DR. J. C. PORTER. Prominent Baptist Minister Passes Away. Again the University has lost one of its staunches! friends. It was with heart-felt grief that the news of the death of Dr. Porter was received in our town. Although he had been in poor health for several years, and almost bed-ridden this last year, his death came as a severe blow to all his many friends. For many years Rev. Porter was known as one of the most prominent ministers of the State. He was the successful editor of the Florida Baptist witness until a short time ago. As field agent for the University he worked untiringly for the building up of this school. With the students and teachers we wish to extend our hearty sympathy to the bereaved family and to express our appreciation of the life and work of Dr. Porter. Y. M. C. A. After the singing of several hymns, Mr. Staley opened the meeting with a reading fi'om Galatians. The topic was the "Higher Life."' Mr. Blocker spoke of Christ's teachings of non-resistance, "If men revile you revile not again." "Do good to them that hate you and pray for them that despitefully use you." Mr. Blocker said that though the ability to obey such commands is not in the power of men, it is in the power of God, which is for every one of us. Mr. Sears dismissed the meeting with short prayer. The Stetson Hall Bible Class meets every Sunday morning at 10 o'clock and hence is good and convenient for all the domitory boys. BROWN ON TOP AGAIN. The many friends of Mr. Roy Brown will be glad to know that h2 will sing a solo in vespers Sunday. always is in his extempore talk on "Ideals in College Life.'' "What are you here for anyway?" seemed the burden of his remarks. He seemed to think, and it is doubtless true, that most of us have very low ideals after all. After a short Parliamentary Practice, with G. Cooper Staley in the chair, the meeting was adjourned. To nights program is as follows: Current Events, Mr. Waterman. Recitation, Mr. Moffatt.
