Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer the stings and sorrow of outrageous fortune or to take arms against a sea of troubles, and by opposing, end them.'' The opening words of the above bear close to the hearts of all Stetson students, and in reality we recognize that "it's up to us." This matter must be settled by individual tastes as it was by Hamlet, shortly after uttering those memorable words. They do not settle the question for any body and do not exhaust it, but merely bring it before our minds. And in thinking of making the NewJYear, let vis follow closely the thought of Thomas Campbeil in Blockwood's Magazine, when he thought of the above and said: "We ask not for a picture of the whole landscape of the soul, nor for a guide who shall point out all its wonders. But we are glad to listen to every one who has traveled through the rich kengdoms of experience. Something interesting there must be in the humblest matter, and we turn with equal pleasure from the converse of those who have climbed over the magnificence of the highest mountains there, to the livlier tales of less ambitious pilgrims, who have sat on the green and sunny knoll, beneath the whispering tree, and by the music of the gentle rivulets." We should all enjoy 1913. As students we should appreciate our positions and tasks. At the same time we should feel the pleasure connected with it. We should realize that it is right living that "counts" and not right dying. In all of our efforts for the pursuit of knowledge let us have for our criterion Dr. Furness who said: "I grieve not that ripe knowledge takes away The charm that to my boyhood bore, For with the insight cometh day by day. A greater bliss than wonder was before" Now, let us bring the question down to a practical basis. Perhaps we did not boost Stetson and its organizations as we should in 1912. Perhaps we "boosted a knocker," and "knocked a booster," when we should have done otherwise.

The Thanksgiving game with Gordon Institute marked the conclusion of Stetson's foot-ball schedule for 1912. Another volume has been added to Stetson history. Let us review it. In some respects it has been pleasant. In others it has been anything but pleasant. But, best of all, it has been and yet is to be, beneficial to Stetson University and to DeLand. The pleasant features were numerous.

To render the occasion nunc impressive the Seniors in the dignified man- ner befitting their station, inarched ner befitting their station, inarched single file with the class president, Mr, Frank Smith, leading the procession, to their alloted section reserved for them and remained standing until each one had reached his seat. Ai tin- completion of the usual chapel services, Dr. Hulley gave a brief address of welcome to the Seniors and pointed >>ut. to the student body the real value of a "cap and gown." To pay true reverence to the Sen the other students remained seated while the class made its dignified (?) exit. This class claims to be the largest ever graduated from Stetson, surpasssing the class of 10OQ by one member. The present i who expect to receive degl in May are Misses ' 'rib- bett, Campbell, Bradley, Coleman, Hulley, Phillips, and R borough, and ' lith, bid- dell, Wide man, Mil and V. which has - fam- 0 will go out from Stetson many "stand- bys," who will be much mi from the University and its organizations. Two or three members have been at Stetson for eight years and as many as nine have attended Stetson for six or more years. The University will lotc of its highest-minded most enthusiastic workers and loyal supporters. ft will be sorry to lose them, but we congratulate them upon their reaching the top, and may always reach the top of every thing uj they enter, as they have here, is the v.; Collegiate.
