WHAT SHALL WE MAKE
OF 1911?
t's up to us; or is that slang and
should ,1 "cut it out?" Well, good
old American slang is pretty expressive
sometimes, and it is indeed "up to us."
We have entered the one thousand
nine hundred and eleventh year of
the christian era. What did we make
of 1910, something?. Nothing?
Perhaps we didn't boost Stetson
like we should have during 1910.
Perhaps we "knocked" a little bit.
Perhaps our athletics might have been
better. But 'tis useless to lament
now. The past is not ours. We have
only the present. And let's make
something of phe piesent.
Now there are several things we
will be able to do in 1911, if we work.
Now the thing that interests the Col-
legiate's staff right now is that Short
Story contest. What have you done
*• on this. Already the stories are beginning to come in. Someone's going
to get those prizes. Will that somebody be you. There is still time.
You have nearly three weeks. And
/ not only should that $25.00 in prizes
interest you, but you should also be
interested in the benefit you will be
giving the paper and the school.
For the benefit of the new students
- ; we will reprint the conditions of this
congest. It is open to any student
of the university. Read these conditions closely and then act. Act
immediately.

Christian Associations should come in
for a share of attention.
And taiking of New Year resolutions
here are some admirable ones. But
don't try to follow them out to the
letter:
Don't subscribe; borrow the paper
from your friend. Just be a sponge.
Look up the advertisements and
trade with the other fellow. Be contrary.
Never write anything for the paper
and' criticise everything you read.
Be a knocker,.
Tell your editor you can get. a better
paper for less money. Be a squeeze.
Don't write anything for the paper
and don't let any body else. Be a
stumbling block.

On last Saturday night the Eusophian Literary Society held its first
meeting of the new year. As usual
the meeting was well attended. An
extemporaneous program was rendered.
We regret to say that several of the
members were absent. This was doubtless c .used by the fact that this is our
first meeting. But woe to them if
hey let it happen again.
An extemporaneous debate on "Woman Suffrage" was given, many of the
members participating. * As we had
many of the fair sex with us we were
forced to deal gently with the subject.
Rev. Perry Abraham gave us a few
of his scientific observations on the
point in question.
The first meeting of the year was
brotight to a pleasant close by some
humorous observations on womankind
by several of the members.
The Eusophian Literary Society is
a secret organization of men and
women of college rank only. It is
an honor to belong to the Eusophians.
Not every one can gain admission.
If you mean business, if you want
to improve your time and help others
at the same time. that you help yourself, why then you had better make
your application to the society. See
one of the members and have them put
in your application. We want to
have the most select and yet the strongest literary society in the university.
And we can't do this if we don't get
out and work.
Some may inherit a good mind,
some may acquire knowledge, but
there isn't any one going to thrust
learning upon you. You've got to
wake up and dig if you are going to be
anything.
You've got to do like the Florida
Razorbacks, you've got to "root hog
or die" in this world. There isn't
any one around here with "learning"
or a golden spoon waiting to feed you.
And the finest training that a man
