Concerning This Year's
Lyceum Course.
The Committee on Lyceum Course
for this year beg to call the attention of all students to the unusually
fine list of attractions on hand for
the year, and to the exceedingly low
price of student-tickets.
The course will include Dr. Grant,
Gunsaulus, Taylor (if final satisfactory arrangements can be made),
all lectures of more than usual merit.
There will be the College Play and
the Glee Club, and a sixth event not
definitely decided; perhaps a magician, or a cartoonist, 'or a musical
number, possibly the Royal Hungarian Orchestra. All will be up to
the former standards. Any four of
them will be worth the price of the
regular season tickets, $2.00. The
students of the University, in accordance with the agreement reached by
the Committee last year, will secure
admission to all six for just one half
price, that is, $1.00 for the entire
course.
Students of Stetson, you can not
afford to lose these six opportunities
for culture and enjoyment of a refined and uplifting nature. It is part
and parcel of your University education. See that you take opportunity
by the forelook, while you may.
Tickets will be sold, in advance,
only at the office of the Bursar, Mr.
Rosa, in Elizabeth Hall. Do not wait
till the night of the first entertainment. Make your plans now.

VESPER SERVICE.
Y. W. C. A. Notes.
Last Thursday afternoon, many of
the girls enjoyed a pleasant little
chafing-dish social given under the
auspices of the Y. W. C. A. members.
Dean Smith, in Absence of Dr. Hulley, the Leader.
As Dr. Hulley was at Cornell University Sunday afternoon Prof. Smith
conducted the vesper service. The
address was based on the life of Saul,
taking his entire career from the
time of his coronation to his death
at Gilboa, and drawing comparisons
on the lives of today. The significance
of taking 'the first step, of ambition leaping ahead and later the inability to throw off the powers
working ruin were important
thoughts in the service.

The Crucible Club.
This organization is about to resume its regular year's work and it
is earnestly desired that all who expect to be or have been members
meet with Prof. Tingley in the Chemistry lecture room, Science Hall, at
1 p. m. next Monday.

Senior—"I am indebted to you fo

Prof.—"O! Don't mention such
trifle.—Ex.
Stetson Wins from Olympic
Athletic Club.
The second game of the year has
been played and the above score was
the result. The Olympics, who came
to DeLand touted as the strongest
team in Jacksonville, were woefuliy
weak. They did not show the strength
of the Grays, who were defeated 24
to 0 the Saturday before. With one
or two exceptions, the team was very
ragged. "Red" Woolbry was the
star of the team. If his team-mates
had played up to the standard set by
him they would have been different.
The Stetson team showed a slight
improvement in form and her plays
went a ilittle smoother. There wert
no particular stars. This is as it
should be. Eleven men as a team
are much better than eleven men each
working separately, even though
there are several stars among the
latter. There were one or two de
fects noticeable which must be corrected. In the first place, the plays
are not reeled off with the speed that
is so essential to the success of a
light team./ This is due to the fact
that the men have a tendency to walk
to their positions instead of going on
the jump. The men are running too
1 high, especially those men who are
in the interference. In several instances men were missed because a
man blocked high instead of going
low.
The attendance at the games this
year has not been what it should. It
is safe to say that with a studenl
body of 360 there were not 100 students at the game Saturday. Thi«
j won't do, students. Give the team
your support. It means a great deal
I to them. A loyal student body on
the sideline has won many a doubt-
j ful game. We are going to need it
I when we meet Rollins this year; so
j get the habit.
