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.

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. BY THE WAY S (Holding open library door)-- "Look out! T will squeeze you." Miss H—"Is that the best you can do?" 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. I —Gentlewoman.
