The first football game of the season will be played on the athletic field Saturday, and every student in Stetson University should witness the game. There is no student in the school, boy or girl, who cannot afford the price of admission, and it is a neglect of duty as well as displaying false economy and showing a niost deplorable lack of college spirit to stay away from the game. Loyalty to and love for Stetson is the best known characteristic of her student body, and the surest evidence of this is the support of her athletics. No disgruntlement, no prejudice toward or dislike for any one should keep any one from joining hands with everybody else for the welfare of the team. The victory for Stetson means more than the satisfaction of any grudge. A long pull, a strong pud, and a pull all together means victory. The girls in the bleachers should be given a voice. They, as well as the boys should organize cheering clubs at once, elect cheer leaders, and learn the good old songs and yells of Stetson. The people on the side lines can win or lose a game. The inspiration of a cheering, loyal crowd, has won many ■<\ 'g'aYftfe TitA w\\\ VlTi TSYcYiYy TOOK. S>\t\- son men and women are true blue. They have stood by the white and green in the past and they will uphold the colors again this year. It has been said by some one igno- rant of the facts that Stetson never cheers an opposing team. This is not true and should not be so. When the other fellows come on the field they should be cheered and when they deserve it during the game. The football management has done its best to give Stetson a good team; and every man on the team is determined that Stetson shall again have the State championship. It belongs to her by right of conquest, by right of being the largest and best school in the State, and the team will give it back to us with the proper support. Rah, rah, rah, we cheer for Stetson. Hoo, rah, rah, rah, rah, rah, ray Always standing for the right Always winning every fight And we're going to win this football game today. Eusophian Literary Society.

Vice President Farriss, A.B., D.D. Dr. Farriss, the "Grand Old Man" of the University, is universally beloved by the student body, and especially by the students who have come in con- common sense, for this, in a large degree, is responsible for her sterling worth. It teaches her that she is not above the common people, and a gracious smile, which bespeaks sunshine and happiness; never fails her. Then she must not have that air of pomposity which is, more than anything else, instrumental in making her unpopular among her associates. If a girl is beautiful, intellectual and accomplished in every way, yet has that air of "I don't know you," then she is not ideal to any man, let alone the college man Also she must not be a flirt, and this by no means implies that she is not to be sociable. Every girl is held in less though nearly every man will encourage her in it. Again, she must be original, not endeavoring to imitate. The womanly ideal—to make toil tolerable, leisure enjoyable, and life livable by being natural; this is so supremely precious that the college woman who risks it for an attempt to imitate the activities of some person in high society, in so doing robs herself of her most distinctive and valuable asset.
