Dr. Hulley Elected President of Florida Educational Association
Young Women's Christian Association.
Convention Held in University Auditorium During'the Holidays of
Great Benefit to Stetson
While the majority of the students
of the University were away for their
Christmas vacation there met in De-
Land, December 28-31 the greatest
gathering of the .State's educators
that has ever assembled at any one
place. That the students were away
is indeed a pity for no one attended
the meetings which were held in the
auditorium but was greatly benefited;
President W. L. Bryan of Indiana
State University delivered the principal address of the association on
"The Education of the Disposition."
Dr. Bryan is a most forceful speaker
and his lecture was thoroughly enjoyed; he taught even as he spoke.
Dr. Blackman of Rabbins gave a
memorable speech on "Martin Luther" and the audience were impressed by the great intellectuality of his
discourse and moved by his exceptional oratorical ability-
But while Dr. Bryan taught, while
Dr. Blackman impressed nis hearers
it remained for our own president,
Dr. Lincoln Hulley, to carry his listeners by storm in his remarkable
lecture, ''Burns and his Humanity."
Never was a more sympathetic audience than that which listened to Dr.
Hulley on the afternoon of December 29, 1909, and a portion of the
soul of a great man seemed engrafted
on those who heard him.
At the close of the convention the
universal regard and esteem of Stetson's president was shown by his being selected as president of the association. Mrs. Ella Hamilton of
Starke, Florida, was elected vice
president. Mrs. Hamilton is one of
the ablest women educators of our
State and' one whom Stetson University is proud to see as a co-officer with Dr. Hulley.
The Florida education association
will meet next December in Pensacola and no more profitable vacation
could be spent than in attendance at
all its entire session.
The first meeting of the Young
Women's Christian Association of
this term was held Thursday, January
6 at 3:15 in the association room.
The subject was, "The New Year
and New Year Resolutions," and
proved very interesting. All the
young women of the University are
urged to attend these meetings—a
cordial welcome is extended to all—
every Thursday at 3:15. Watch the
bulletin board for notices.
The Seasons' Prospects
for Baseball
Stetson Secures Good Coach in Mr.
Edgar Garner of Arcadia.
A. L. L. Suhrie, M. E., Ph.B.
Prof. Suhrie is the man who in
largest measure was responsible for
the success of the recent Florida
,State Teachers' Convention held in
DeLand, Fla., December 28-31, 1909.
Him we have to thank for the bringing of a thousand educators to the
vicinity of our University through
his exceptional advertising ability,
and him again for the good inpres-
sion given of our school to these
same educators from the way in
which they were entertained and
cared for. Prof. Suhrie is known as
"the busiest man about the University" and the title it would seem were
a good one, for judging from what
he has accomplished for John B.
Stetson University, he is without
competitors.
Our baseball outlook is bright. Mr.
E. A. Garner who played' with the
strong Arcadia team, and took first
pitching honors in the South Florida League last season, is our coach.
We have good reason to expect a
fine grade of work from Mr. Garner.
He has worked under Louke Castro,
under whose managership Augusta
won the South Atlantic League pennant last year, under Henry Meeke,
Chattanooga's big catcher, and Harry Vaughan, an old big leaguer,
who caught for Cincinnati and managed the Birmingham team, Southern League. Mr. Garner has played
with Sumter, the pennant winners of
the South Carolina ,State League,
with Spartanburg of the Carolina Association and with Raleigh of the
Eastern League. He bears the name
"Garner the 'heady' and steady." So
we believe that our baseball material will 'oe made the most of this
year.
It was a promising looking crowd
that answered the first call of the
season for practice. It was not so
promising because of numbers for
fewer reported than usual—but Monday was a cold, bad day. It was
promising because of the quality of
material. The boys are hitting the
ball unusually well for the beginning
of the season. Allen and Claude
Jones of last year's team, are hitting
better than ever before. Galloway,
Schnedegar and Calhoun also merit
special mention in this connection.
Coach Garner has been looking the
men over instead of working them
out on the diamond. He says it is
too rough yet, and also that he wants
them to clear up their eyes. Hence
he is practising them at the bat. "A
batting team is what we want; that
is what wins," says the coach. Our
most critical need is a catcher. At
present it appears that either Schnedegar or C. Jones must learn to receive.
