MEETING OF THE KENT CLUB.
The Bucknian Bill Discussed — Dean
Farrah Addresses the
Club.
Silas B. Wright, '05, of this
<city, has a lingering love for the
old .class room, so is again with
us in the Florida Pleading and
Practice class.
Arthur E. Voyle, of Gainesville,
is our latest matriculant.
Farnell finds a full, complete
and adequate remedy for his
troubles in a change of mates.
The other half, which we hesitate
to call "the better," is known in
Conrad as the "Judge."
The subject for debate in the
Kent Club Saturday night was,
"Resolved, That the passage of the
puckman bill was detrimental to
education in Florida." When the
regular speakers had addressed
themselves to the subject, the debate was thrown open for general
discussion. After our lawmakers
were assigned the role of Iscariot on
one side, and of Solomon in his
early days cfn the other, the question was referfed to a committee
who recommended that the action
of the Legislature be ratified,
which was accordingly done.
Dean Farrah addressed the club,
making suggestions for its improvement and for the increasing
of interest in its work. One of
his suggestions was the institution
of inter-society and inter-collegiate debating and oratorical contests. At the close of the program
he "held up the mirror" in order
that the performers could see the
reflections of their mistakes.
If any of the members entertained any doubts as to the relia
bility of what Dean Farrah said,
they were cast to the winds by
Singletary's reassuring words that
it "was just exactly as Mr. Dean
had said."
Some of the boys who thought
that Fort Chaudoin had surrendered were nonplussed when they
learned that the supposed flag of
truce was a message of defiance.
The Law Department was
squelched last week, judging from
its lack of prominence in The Collegiate, but you remember that
old saying, "truth crushed to earth
will rise again," etc.
ATHLETICS.
Practice Game Saturday—Schedule of
Recent Big- Football games.
Football practice goes steadily
on at the athletic field.
The men are getting down into
shape, and will be in form for the
first game which will doubtless be
played November 4 or 6.
On Saturday the first and second teams lined up for two fifteen
minute halves, and a lively scrimmage followed. The varsity crossed the second's goal line three
times in the first and once in the
last half.
The seconds played good football. Hopkins, Ainsworth, and
Clark did some good work, the
latter by a fake kick, making a
quarterback run for a touchdown.

New Songs Needed.

athletic games this year. Here's a
chance to exhibit your poetic genius.
DR. HULLEY'S
SPEECH
Advice to Members of the
ta# Ju. S.
THE VALUE OF PUBLIC SPEAKING
The Literary Society is a Training
School For Oratory.
[Editor's Note: The following
paragraphs and extracts are taken
here and there from a stenographic report of the address of Dr.
Hulley before the Stetson Literary Society, Oct. 14.]
Many young people enter the society with wrong notions as to what
is required of them. They do not
seem to realize that this is a training school in oratory and elocution.
I want you to realize that there
will be some discouragements on
the way, and you must use every
effort to overcome them. You
must take these things as stepping
stones to success. I want you to
talk logically, to speak and think
on your feet and be able to do so
at all times. It will be of inestimable value to you to acquire
training in extemporaneous thinking as well as speaking and aid
you to be logical.
And in your anlysis and thinking be sure you are doing the
thinking on the right side of the
question. It may not matter for-
ensically which side of the debate
you argue for, but it effects your
character and so you should always try to do your thinking on
the right side.
Another thing you should strive
to acquire is a large vocabulary.
It would be a very good thing if
you would stud}7 the dictionary
for synonyms, punctuation and
pronounciation and increase your
