Y. M. C.A.ANDY. W.C.
RECEPTION A BRILLIANT SUCCESS.
The spacious parlors of Chaudoin
Hall were crowded with throngs of
merry students on last Friday evening
at the first social event of any magnitude of this year. A spirit of universal
friendship seemed to have taken up its
abode with the crowd. As you entered
the main parlors your arm was caught
in the iron grasp of Mr. Coleman, the
official introducer. Then began a dizzy
course down the receiving line.
Among those present in this august
assembly were Miss Wilma Davis, Mr.
Garwood, with that "bless you, my
child" expression on his physiogomy,
Miss Nina Phillips, Miss Lee Bowers,
Miss Addie Grace Waterman, Miss
■Sheddan and Miss Bly.
Along with Mr. Tingley, R. K. Roberts, A. Milam, R. Milam, and Mr.
Thomas was the Rev. Perry Abraham
Roberts. Mr. Roberts was named after
the renowned explorer. We think that
it was about two years after Mr. Perry's
birth, but the "Collegiate" could not
vouch for this.
A write up for the Y. W. C. A is
absent from the columns of the "Collegiate" this week, but next week there
will be found an account of them' and
their noble work. Every young lady
of Stetson should belong to this band
of christian workers. Miss Clara Goodman c*n give you some interesting
pointers, on Y. W. C. A. matters.
Especially the new students should
join with them. You will not regret
it.
do not mail any more letters in our
box.
STETSON LITS.

The second regular meeting of the
Stetson Literary Society was held last
Saturday night. The room was crowded and one of our most respected members was forced to sit upon the floor.
For further particulars see Mr. Halsey.
We pause in the busy rush of students
life to honor the memory of the late
Napoleon B. Broward. "First in the
hearts of his countrymen." The 'Collegiate" extends heartfelt smypathy
to the family and particularly to Mr.
Broward's daughters whom we had the
pleasure of meeting at Stetson.
That Collegiate Box in the Hall.
That Box in the hall marked " Collegiate" Is not a place for mailing
letters. Some benighted person under
the impression that he was being funny
marked that box as a letter box, but
it is most decidedly not one, nor is' it
a waste box. It is for literary contributions to the "Collegiate" only. Please
An excellent program was rendered by
the following members: An Extempore
by Mr. A. M. R. X. Y. Lawrence.
Some Exciting Current Events, by Mr.
Halsey.
Reading by Mr. Jerome Wideman.
An Extempore, by Mr. Paul H.
Selden.
An Amusing and Instructive Parli-
mentary Practice, by Mr. Buttinsky
Phillips.
This Steston Literary Society is
doing good work and we advise every
student of sub-collegiate rank to join
with them. You will be heartliy
welcomed and perhaps put to work.
As usual the Eusophians presented
a " well-wisdomed" program last Saturday night. Mr. R. Milam gave us
the " Development of the English
Language." Mr. R. K. Roberts presented "Ancient Religion in England."
To cap the climax Miss Barron gave
us a reading from "Old English."
Every one enjoyed it. Miss Barron
gave us a slight warning of what to
expect. But she did not quite prepare us for the deluge. Imagine if
you can Miss Phillips reading "Latin,"
Miss Whitting reciting a French Pbem,
Miss Schilling, r talking German and
Dr. Farriss reading Homer. Imagine
I say, all this happening at once and
each talking loudly. There you would
find, and there only would you find
an equal to that "old English." Miss
Barron is a wise little girl and she. may
have known what she was reading
about. She seems to have survived
the ordeal without destroying any
vocal chords whatsoever.
Every student of Collegiate rank is
eligible to membership in this society
and every such student should join.
Hand in your application at once.
The society has a number of most
interesting meetings planned out. You
come into this society as a brother
or a sister as the case may be. We are
in this organization for mutual benefit and help. We all make mistakes,
but in this society only the good things
you do are remembered against you.
We have only been in existence since
last year but we always have had the fin -
est material in the university. I once
heard a man ask a student of Stetson
what sort of a student a certain young
man was. The boy's answer was,
"He's a member of the Eusophian
Literary Society."
How much can be expressed in that
little phrase, "he's a Eusophian." Let
this be our motto, "I'm a Eusophian."
If we live up to the ideals of our Society we will not have lived in vain.
The curriculum is only half that you
get in College. We do not derive all
our learning form textbooks. Yd\i
