STUDENTS' PUBLICATION OF STETSON UNIVERSITY. VOL. XXIII DELAND, FLA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1910. No. 1 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
