STETSON STUDENTS RESPOND TO THE CALL OF
THE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION.
Last Friday afternoon at three
o'clock, in response to the call for
a student mass meeting, about one
hundred loyal Stetsonites, both ladies
and gentlemen, met in the chapel
auditorium. The number present was
much smaller than it should have been
but some of the old time spirit was
manifested anyway. Of course, it can
hardly be expected for new students
to show the spirit that old ones do
but in this meeting the new ones came
right to the front both in numbers and
spirit.
Prof. Baldwin, as director of athletics, took charge of the meeting.
In a short talk he reviewed the financial conditions regarding athletics last
year and the outlook at the present.
He emphasized the fact that the question of whether the school should have
athletics or not this year depended
entirely on the students. They must
support this branch of school life in
two ways—by keeping loyal to and
enthusiastic for athletics and also by
contributing the necessary funds for
the support of the various teams.
Prof. Botts then made a strong
appeal for more college spirit backed
up by a loyal interest in the team.
At the close of his remarks subscriptions for carrying on football, basketball, and baseball were called for.
The students, present together with
Dr. Hulley, Profs. Baldwin and Botts
raised about one hundred and fifty
dollars. It was shown that three
hundred dollars were needed and Prof.
Botts made the proposition that he
would be one of ten to give the first
hundred dollars and the one to give
the last ten of the three hundred.
Four others joined him with ten-dollar
subscriptions. He holds this offer open
for a week and every student who can
meet this proposition ought not to
neglect the opportunity to help the
financial side of our athletics.
At this time of the year, before any
games have been played it seems hard to
arouse the proper spirit for athletics
in the school. Every student should
try to get some virility in his system
and develop a strong, loyal feeling
now at the beginning when support
for the team means so much.
All the old students remember the
great game of last year and the splendid
jubilee that followed. It was worth
a great deal to see and feel it. It is
that same sort of spirit that has kept
Stetson to the front in athletics in
Florida. She has always won by that
sprit and, Stetson students, it is just
that sort of thing that is going to
make you win in life. Have you got
it? Cultivate it here and when you
get out in the real battle of life, you
will say that that old spirit of loyalty
and support you got back there in
Stetson was one of the best influences
of your life. Remember also that the
best way to cultivate it is to help support our team this year. Be sure and
make some contribution towards athletics.
Mr. Whitehurst, as treasurer for
the association, will be gald to receive
your contribution.
Young lady—"Prof. Tingley do you
know the difference between an orange
and a monkey?"
Prof. Tingley—(after some guessing)
"No, I don't."
Young lady—" Well, I surely wouldn't
send you to the store to buy oranges
for me!"
-4- WITH THE EUSOPHIANS. +-
++++-+++++■ ♦♦♦♦.♦♦»•♦'
With several new members looking
on the members of the Eusophian
Literary Society united to show how
much they new of the Germans and
their language. Mr. Coleman, along
with -Miss Wilma Davis and Miss
Ammonette Gordon showed depth of
study and research in their papers dealing with German literature. Miss Har-
iette Hulley quite surprised us with a
perfectly unintelligible (to us) rendition of a German poem. She told us
in German verse that old story of the
lady and the glove. These readings of
a foreign* language seem to draw the
strange tongue nearer to us.
And last but far from least came
Kyle Kinkead with his German anecdotes and stories. These stories added
a spice of gayety to the meeting and
sent us all home with a smile on our
lips.
The Eusophian is a society that
does not believe in all work and no
play. You will find a program of
the Society a delightful blend of learning, research, humor and wit; you
can do better work in a society that
is a secret organization. Everybody
can't know the busineess we carry on.
Only our programs are made public.
It's a great big, clean, wholesoled organization working for the good of
every one of its members.
The society is just now working on
a plan. What it is we are not at
liberty to state. But you can bank
on this; whatever it is it will be the
best of its kind if vigor, enthusiasm
and true-hearted co-operation has anything to do with it.
The American public wants a man that
can talk,; it doesn't matter whether he is
selling patented potato slicers or prescribing for their diseases. If you
can't talk you are simply out of the
running. This is no place for slang,
and good old American slang is the
only dialect that can express the condition of the man who can't talk
