OFFICIAL STUDENTS' PUBLICATION OP STETSON UNIVERSITY. DE LAND, FLA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1904. NO. 2. OIIR NEW TEACHERS. The faculty has acquired several new members since last year, chief among whom is Dr. Hulley, a sketch of whose life was given in last week's Collegiate. The new Dean of the School of Technology is Prof. Bauder. He is a graduate of Case School of Applied Science of Cleveland, where he received the degree of B. S., and where he spent eighteen months in post-graduate work. He next took * post-graduate work at Columbia University, New York City, from which he received the degree of M. A., and later found time to take up some graduate work at Yale University of New Haven, while teaching in the Manual Training High School of that city. He spent six years teaching in the Academy and Manual Training School. For two two years Mr. Bauder was instructor in mathematics at Lafayette College, Eastori, Pa., and was the instructor in physics at the University of Pennsylvania for one year. His practical work in engineering covers a period of two and one-half years in electrical engineering, and one year in civil engineering. He is the inventor of a new form of mechanical refrigerating machine, and is now having one built. He is at present carrying on original investigations in the measurement of electrolytic resistance. Mr. Bauder has been associated, either as pupil or co-worker, with some of the best and ablest mathematicians, physicists, and engineers; among them being Dr. A. A. Michelson, now of University of Chicago, Dr. R. S. Woodward. Dr. M. I. Pup- in, both of Columbia University, Dr. George Barker and Dr. A. Goodspeed, both of University of Pennsylvania, and B. P. Roberts, a practicing electrical engineer. Mr. Bander is also a member of the American Association for yie Advancement of Science. Orwin A. Morse, Director of the Music Department, is a native of Iowa. He lived until twelve years of age in Minnesota, going from there to Michigan, and later to Toronto, Canada, where he spent ten years. His musical talent was shown quite early, and his first experience in public playing was in Sunday school "when about nine years old. Musical study was pursued along with other school work from that time on, and soon after going to Toronto, he entered the Music departments of the University of Toronto, and took up studies in piano, pipe organ, and theory. Later he won a scholarship in theory, standing first in a class of over fifty, and receiving 97 marks out of a possible 100. Among Mr. Morse's instructors were F. 11. Torrington, Mus. Doc. of Dublin University, one of the oldest and greatest organists of America, J. H. Anger of Oxford University and H. M. Field of Leipzig Conservatory, himself a pupil of Liszt von Buelow, and Rubinstein. While, a student, Mr. Morse frequently presided at the great organ (85 stops) in the Metropolitan church, Toronto. After leaving the university he was organist in one of the largest Methodist churches in Ontario, and in 1898 went to Australia, where he was music director of Avondale College, and organist of one of the prominent Presbyterian churches of Melbourne. Returning to America in 1901 he became music director of Emmanuel College, Berrien Springs, Mich., from whence, after a few months as organist at the Battle Creek Sanitarium, he comes to Stetson. He is especially interested in the placing of music education on an academic basis, and has made quite extensive research on the relation of music to life and civilization. He has given, also, a considerable number of lecture-recitals, both organ and piano. Aside from music, his hobbies are poetry and ornithology. Miss Claribel Stubbs, the new dean of the women, is a Philadelphian by birth, her parent home being at Meri- on, just outside the city limits. She was prepared for college by two of the finest private schools of the city: Friends' Select School, and Miss Baldwin's School at Bryn Mawr. After having regularly matriculated at Bryn Mawr College, and having studied there for four years, specializing in the sciences and particularly in Biology, she taught for two years in a private school near the city. She then studied Biology for another year the University of Pennsylvanja, receiving the degree of B. S. in 1901, since which time she has been teaching in tAVo High schools in Pennsylvania, prior to coming to Stetson. Miss Nancy Lee Hill, who succeeds Prof. Sharp as head of the Art Department, was born at Davidson Col- ! lege, North Carolina. She received j her education at the Charlotte (N. C.) i Female College. This done, she began to specialize in art, receiving her education in this line at the St. Louis School of Fine Arts, The Southern Art Union, new Orleans, The Art Students' League, New York, Julian's Atelier, Paris, Carlo Rossi Atelier, Paris, and Whistler's Atelier, also of Paris. During the three years spent abroad, Miss Hill also acted as a newspaper correspondent. Returning to this country, she taught in the Graded schools of El Taso, Tex., St. Mary's Hall, San Antonio, Tex., The Southern School for Girls, Washington, D. C, Summer Normal of Winthrop College. South Carolina, also the Agricultural and Mechanical College, and the Summer School for Teacher's before coming to Stetson. The instructor in German this year is Miss Siegrid Anna Lagergren. Miss Lageren received her preparatory education at the Morgan Park Academy, Chicago, and graduated from the University of Chicago in 1903. During the winter of 1903-1904 she was instructor in English in the McKinley School of Norway, Mich., from which place she comes to assume her duties here. Miss Ella Winfield Morrison who is in carge of the Department of Elocution, was born in Montgomery. New York. Graduating from the Goshen, (N. Y.)

Miss Almena Leitner, whose home is in Leesburg, Fla., is the new assistant ATHLETICS. Stetson met the Jacksonville Light Infantry football team on the girdiron at Jacksonville, Friday, October 14, and wras defeated by a score of 6 to 0. The game was a hotly contested one and at times the issue was doubtful in the extreme. Our boys made a showing which surpassed all expectations, and the game can almost be regarded in the light of a victory. The game was called shortly after 3 o'clock, and Duncan kicked off for Stetson. The ball was caught by Musee on Jacksonville's 30 yard line and returned 25 yards. Yancy then went around end for 35 yards, but this fine play was followed by a fumble. Staley secured the ball for Stetson, broke away from the scrimmage line and was off like a deer. With a clear field, our brawny center made 70 yards before he was downed. After several handsome advances. Stetson fumbled and Jacksonville kept the ball until time was called. Jacksonville kicked off to Stetson in the second half, a fumble gave the ball to Yancey, who carried it 35 yards for a touchdown, following this with a goal. After the kickoff, Stetson steadily advanced the ball by a succession of billiant end and line plays to within a few yards of the goal. By a mistake of the referee, the ball was given to Jacksonville on downs, although Duncan had made the distance with several yards to spare, and Stetson lost her last chance to score. Yancey, a professional athlete, played the whole game for Jacksonville and did wonderful work at every point of the play. Duncan and Botts, our tackles, and L. Botts and Mcllvaine, our light halves, did fine work for Stetson. Wright did not play up to his usual form, but was at a disadvantage in having the star player of the opposing team to contend with. Our boys plajred a good game, when the short time they have been in practice is considered, and the showing they made was a surprise to many. The Jacksonville team was greatly superior in weight. The game was witnessed by a crowd which was enthusiastic if not large. Fleming, our former coach, was referee, and Humphries timpire. in the Grammar School. Miss Leitner was educated at Lake City Institute, now a part of Florida University and while there won the elocution and Senior medals. After graduating she taught at Hawthorne, Fla., for four years. Then, after teaching in a ten weeks summer Normal School at Gainesville, Fla.. she spent a summer in Chicago University, studying three subjects, but making English a specialty. She next took a one year's correspondence course with Chicago University, and spent one summer at Harvard. Here, also, she specialized in English. The two years following she was assistant principal at the Leesburg High School. * After that she was Principal for three years of the Micanopy (Fla.) High School, from which place she came to Stetson. ■» * » Much interest is felt in regard to the entertainment to be given in the"Gym"' Friday night, by the boys. The Women of Chaudoin. "O lift your natures up: Embrace our aims: work out your freedom Girls, Knowledge is now no more a fountain seal'd: Drink deep, until the habits of the slave, The sins of emptiness, gossip and spite And slander, die. Better not be at all Than not be noble."—Tennyson's Princess. College has opened this year with forty-nine women and young girls residing within the walls of Chaudoin. This feminine assembly consists of thirty-five students and our dear Mai- sie, Miss Bloxham, Mrs. Clarkson and Miss Stubbs; enough certainly to drive off or tie up any rascally male burglar who might be so temervious as to thrust his foot within these precincts; and of course there will be many more students coining in before the year reaches its close. Besides being numerous we intend to be both good and happy. Probably nearly all of us have made up our minds that this year at least we Avill study hard and at the proper times, that we will take care of our health; going to bed early and not eating more between meals than we positively have to, in order to keep from starving; and taking an hour or two of good hard exercise every afternoon out in the fresh air and sunshine— if we can get it—but at any rate out of doors. For I am sure that even rain never hurt any one if she was properly dressed for it. But it is one of the hardest things in. the world to get girls to see the necessity of regularly taking out-door recreation every day. Boys will do so, only too gladly; but sometimes one almost has to drive a girl out of the house. At Bryn Mawr College one of the greatest charms of the place consists. in the fact that at four o'clock, after the classes and laboratories have closed for the day, almost every student goes out to play tennis, golf or basket-ball, or to take long walks, drives, horseback or bicycle rides, and so-forth. The professors also are to be seen playing tennis or going riding. And that, I think, is as it should be. One cannot work and study both well and hard unless one plays hard too. And women need to build up strong bodies even more than men do, for they have to make up for time lost in this respect in past generations. Moreover the strength and physique and with these, in large part, the character of both the men and the women of the coming race depend very greatly on the health of the women of the present. "Tire woman's cause is man's; they rise or sink Together, dwarf'd or godlike, bond or free: If she be small, slight-natured, mftP erable, How shall men grow?" —Tennvson's Princess *-**- Miss Elizabeth Blanding, an alumna of Stetson, who has taught here for several years, is teaching in Shenpah, 111. 10
