No. 6 CALENDER OF ORGANIZATIONS The Past Week with Student Activities. Kent Club. The Kent Club attended Circuit Court in a body Saturday night. Colonel Pope, of Jacksonville, delivered his argument before the jury in the Florida East Coast damage case, and the Club thought it a good opportunity to listen to an able attorney in an interesting case. Therefore, the program which we should have rendered last week will be given next Saturday night. Stetson Literary Society. There is some good derived from the Stetson Literary Society. If you do not believe the statement come next Saturday night at 7:30 and see for yourself. You will always be welcome and will take away much that will add to your store of knowledge. At the last meeting, Nov. 11, an exceptionally good program was rendered and one which was enjoyed by all present. In the absence of our president, Mr. D. E. Carleton, the vice-president, Miss Marvick, took the chair and bravely bore throughout the hour its arduous duties. To the sincere regret of all Mr. Davis was unable to give in full a selection which he had prepared and we are eagerly awaiting another appearance. Thenextitem was a discussion by Mr. H. Smith on the question of the Cuban government being at fault in the late Cuban insurrection, an answer to which will be given next week by Mr. Walker. Miss Kruse, in a pleasing manner, recounted the important happenings of the past week, pertaining not only to our own country, but to the world at large. Mit-s Hampton, with great credit to herself, occupied the chair during Parliamentary Practice and came out safe and sound from the mass of motions, amendments and objections hurled at her. After a five-minute recess, Mr. Moffatt very ably discussed the significance of the recent elections in New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and other States. Mr. Moffat's speech certainly showed his deep, clear vision and also a thorough knowledge of the subject. Immediately following this was an unusually interesting debate on the question : Resolved, that the football team be always required to play the Thanksgiving game at Stetson. The affirmative was well represented by Miss Hampton and Miss Ryland, while Mr. Le land Carlton and Mr. Wallace Hill, both new members but vigorous debaters, strongly upheld the negative. After due consideration the judges granted the decision in favor of the affirmative. This completed the program, and owing to the absence of Prof. Frost, Mr. Roseborough gave the critic's report. Y. W. C. A. Character Building,—that well- worn subject—was our Y. W. C. A. topic for the day. It was even a better meeting than last week. That's paying a great dsal. Miss Martin, our leader, was very practical, and in her talk did not attempt to "soar"—just brought us down to common mother earth ; gave us new, rich, helpful thoughts on plain, everyday living. Two< things that she said especially! interested us all. That is (1) that! we are forming our character now, (2) that patience and self-control are very necessary attributes in forming a good character. We have all read and heard' these things many limes before, but never were thev so clearly brought SAVANNAH WINS F 110)1 STETSON (Continued on pa^re 4) Green and White Makes Brave Defence. Considerable dissatisfaction is felt throughout the University owing to the nature of the reports from Savannah as to the football iiame yesterday. The Collegiate had arranged for a press report of two hundred and fifty words, but up to time of going to press no report has been received. From such meager reports as have been received the indications are that Savannah defeated Stetson by a score of 27-0. So large a score was not expected by Stetson sympathizers, some even anticipating a victory. It is not definitely known how Stetson lined up but it is rumored that Kirby was not in the game. Stetson's probable line up follows : Botts J. e. Black, 1. t. Garwood, 1. g. Hendricks, C. Waterman, r. g. Wilder, r. t. Johnston, r. e. Oampbe'l, q. b. Gautier, 1. h. b. Hall, r. h. b. Mickle, f. b. « . » ; Tennis Preliminaries. The doubles series of the tennis tournament are being played off this week. Twelve teams are entered and the finals will not be reached till Saturday.
