The concert given last Friday, January 26th, under the auspices of the music department, more than justified the expectations of all, and the appreciative audience heartily encored almost every number. Mr. Morse gave all music lovers a rare treat with his exquisite organ solos. By special request the overture "William Tell" was substituted for the sixth number of the program. Mr. Hill, the singer for the night, charmed and faci- nated all with his sweet tenor solos, and it seemed as though the audience could not get enough of his singing. Mr. Suhrie's read ings furnished a great part of the pleasure of the evening, while by his sympathetic renderings he carried the audience with him into many varying moods covering all the phases of feeling from hearty laughter to the indefinite longing expressed in "The Wild White Rose." The program for the evening was as follows: 1. tidward Elgar, Military March- Pomp and Circumstance. E. H. Leware, Andantino in D Flat. Wagner, Pilgrims Chorus—Tann- bauser. 2. Mendelssohn, If With All Youn Hearts—Elijah. 3. Honor of the Woods. 4. Cantor, As the Dawn. 5. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, My Ships. Massault, Andante and Serenade. THE Y. W. C. A. Membership 1 n c r e a ses—Missionary Meeting Led by Miss Norcross. Five new names proposed by the chairman of the Membership Committee were voted upon and accepted by the association at the last meeting. Three of the five were entered on the books as active and the remaining two as associate. Alter some points concerning representation in the College Annual had been decided the devotional part of the service was taken up under the leadership of Miss Norcross. As the subject was Missions, she spoke on India as an example of missionary work. The Bible message was, "Go ye, therefore, and make disciples of all the nations." From the first to the last story read or told, we were intensely interested. The stories were vivid because they were the result of personal observation. The talk left ns with many impressions, but chiefly that education cannot be put to any noble use without Christianity, a n d Christianity needs the power of education to strengthen that which has been gained. A business meeting of the cabinet was held immediately after the service. Miss Hill and the art stu3en«= are very busy just now preparing tLie scenery for the college plays. The road from DeLand to Daytona is remarkable in that no two people are ever agreed upon its physical state. Many conflicting stories were abroad last week, but the prevailing opinion was that in carriages it was horrid, but on foot superb. To prove the facts, a committee of three, C. L. Wilder, E. S. Robinson and H. J. Chaffer, all of whom believe in experimentation and argue not from authority, set forth from the friendly shelter of Stetson Hall and penetrated the cold, grey damp at 1:80 in the afternoon. Arrayed in light marching order the party seized the road and hit a sharp trot down the well- > worn path to Lake Lindley. From this path we turned down by the Walts place and half a mile further on, lo! the road disappeared in a broad sheet of water. At the brink we hesitated long enough to confine the end of trous- er leg in that of the ever-ready sock. Then, without fear of successful contradiction or hope of reward, we boldly entered the deep. How gaily the water splashed as we ploughed along, and at length when we reached a shallower place—how gratefully the cooling mud did fill our shoes! • "Boys, it's raining," quoth the noble Carney, ever ready with the cheerful thought, and, behold, it was so and all the^chilly^shiv-
