MISS WILSON'S RECITAL.
Large Audience Delighted With
Miss Wilson's First Appearance.
Miss Wilson's debut as an organist was a delight to a large audience
of friends and students, Friday evening. Though this is but the second
year she has been under Prof. Morse,
conscious control of the great instrument . and skilful execution marked
all the selections rendered. The
Berceuse by Bach, offertory of Wely
and the March of the Magi Kings
were especially enjoyable. The last
named, by Dubois, often played by
Prof. Morse, is a universal favorite
and Miss Wilson by no means endangered its popularity with her artistic and skilful touch. The exquisite taste in the choice of numbers
and the variety of themes delightfu1'
revealed with expression and individ
ual interpretation were pleasant features of the evening. Seven selections upon the organ and thr -
los by the Misses Bishop and Riley
completed the program, which was
as follows:

in which he is engaged, the speaker
emphasized the value to research students of investigating the growth and
power of the Sunday school, showing that an organization which effects 40,000,000 people must be a
movement of no small development.
Closing his talk, he commented on
the President's Introducing him as
a '"big" man, and Dr. Spelman remarked that as .soon as Americans
(began (measuring greatness with a
tape measure, he would be great.
It was a pleasure to listen to him
for this is the first time this year
the chapel has thus been opened.
DR. SPELMAN OF ATLANTA
Speaks to Students—President Hulley Breaks a Chapel Regulation.
One of the strict regulations of the
morning chapel is that it shall be
strictly a religious meeting and no
speeches shall be allowed from the
platform. 'Monday morning, Dr.
Hulley waived this restriction and
permitted Rev. Dr. Spelman. of the
Sunday School Board, to address the
student body. Talking of the work
PROF. MORSE LEAVES FRIDAY.
Has Signed With the Greenville Female College for the Coming Year.
While aware that Prof. Morse was
considering a proposition from the
Female College of Greenville, N. C,
it was not known until this week that
he has accepted and will leave Friday. His departure will be felt by
not only many friends but by the
Music Conservatory and his many
pupils regret his decision. As Dean
of the Music School, Prof. Morse has
worked unceasingly and successfully
for the good of his department. Du
ing the five years he has been at
Stetson, It he music element in the
school has been especially emphasized and now the Stetson conservatory is recognized all through the
State as the leading school of music.
For three years, he was director
of the Glee Club and the Chord Society has been largely his own institution, with which he has piy-n
the DeLand people opportunity of
hearing many of the great oratorios.
The State at large is well acquainted with Prof. Morse and his
music, having installed many organs
in the various cities, -and esne'ciallv
through the recent Music Festival
His duties at the Greenville College will be similar to his work here
as director of the Music School.
SHALL WE BE REPRESENTED AT ASHEVILLE?
Discussed by Y. M. C. A. Tuesday
Evening.
Mr. fBarnett, a 'secretary' of. the
Southern College Y. M. C A., was
on the campus Tuesday to ascertain
how many delegates we propose
sending to the student conference.
Three years ago five men from
Stetson were the only Florida representatives. Since then, no attempt
has been made to send others. Mr.
Barnett strongly advised that a delegation be made this summer preparatory to a rousing successful year in
the association next year.
There are some in school at present who have attended the conference; they know what it will be for a
man, and are working to arouse interest in the matter.

Science and Tears—Weapon of the
Heroine Coolly Analyzed by French
Chemist.
One does not care to have one's
tears analyzed like a patent food or
'medicine and to associate them with
chemical substances, but we are nothing if not practical nowadays, and
every shred of romance, poetry and
sentiment is remorselessly wrenched
from us for scientific purposes.
A French journal devoted to matters of this kind has been telling us
not only of what tears are composed,
but exactly the effect that is produced on brain and body when we
shed them.
So henceforth when we read that
the heroine's "beautiful eyes were
suffused with tears," that "in a mo
ment she was weeping passionate1y
on his shoulder," we shall know that
by a kind of shower bath arrangement a mixture of albuminoid, water and chemical substances was let
loose at the back of her skull, thus
dulling the nerve centers and reallv
i giving her relief.
However, it does not sound ro-
: mantic, and mere man is likely to
imagine that the fair one is really suf-
; fering doubly when all this happens.
