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. RECENT G^MES. Chicago 4, Wisconsin 0. Northwestern 0, Kentucky 0.

We are greatly in need of some new College Songs and Yells for use at our 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
