To the girls of the Delta Alpha Delta Sorority, we wish much success and offer our congratulations to the first of a series of inspections and installations to take place during the course of the year in various university fraternities." For . the past week the Delta Alpha Delta girls have been entertaining Miss May L. Keller, the grand President Pi Beta Phi Fraternity, and countless social events were planned in honor to make her visit at Stetson one to be remembered by all. Miss Keller won the hearts of all who met her by her charming and gracious personality. While at Stetson she was the house guest of Harriet and Louise Hulley who are delightful hostesses at all times. Altho Miss Keller had been in every other State in the Union, this was her first visit to Florida and the giife have all enjoyed exhibiting to her the many beauties of the "Fair Land of Flowers." After her arrival on Friday evening, a delegation meeting her at the Junction with an automobile, the Sorority members gave her a small informal welcoming party at the Hulley home. Saturday was full of good things—and the memory of that eventful day will long last. At seven A. M. fifteen of the girls started off in three big cars for Daytona for a days outing to show Miss Keller a choice bit of tropical Florida scenery and thetfinest beach in the world. Much of the pleasure of the day was due to Miss Bowers, Daytona being her home town, and through her influence one of the attractive beach cottages was at the disposal of the entire party. The usual pleasures of Daytona Beach were experienced—surf bathing, riding up and down the beach, and such a dinner on the cottage porch! The afternoon ended by a return to DeLand at four o'clock to attend the reception given by the Alpha Kappa Psi Fraternity. After the literary societies had convened in the evening, there was a chafing dish supper for Miss Keller in the back parlors of Chaudoin and many surprises were waiting there, planned and prepared by the girls who had not gone to Daytona. Monday afternoon the Sorority girls all took advantage of Mrs. Hulley's At Home and called formally upon Miss Keller. But the very best of all was the dinner party given by Misses Harriet and Louise Hulley at the College Arms on Monday evening. This proved to be the culmination of all previous events and' a success in every way. The guests of the Misses Hulley for the evening were the nineteen members of the Delta Alpha Delta, Miss Keller the guest of honor; Mrs. Solomon, a patroness of the Sorority, and the Misses Eulla Botts, Catherine Haynes, Rachel Beatty and Ruth Cullen. Continued on Page 2 A LETTER TO COLLEGIATE READERS. The keen interest shown, both by students and townspeople, in the coming great music Festival; is a source of great satisfaction to me. The Vesper Choir and the Stetson-DeLand Choral Society are doing splendid work. Edgar's King Olaf is a masterpiece. The music is strictly modern in harmonization. The motif idea is worked out and developed to a w nderful degree. It is by far the most interesting work we have ever attempted—you should by all means hear it. Then I want you to take my word for it, thai the soloists are top-notchers- far ahead of any previous festival soloists. The harpist is a special attraction. She was not previously considered as a possibility for the Festival. You have not heard a harpist for years— perhaps you have never heard one. Here is your chance. Then again, we are to have David Bispham the best song interpreter in the world today. Perhaps you doubt this statement—well, tell me of a greater interpreter on the concert platform today. I have made the prices so low that nothing but serious illness should keep you away. Folders with full information are now ready for distribution. Sincerely, John W. Phillips.

It would be unfair to the modest ones to devote space to Peterson and McDermond, and ignore the others. So I am glad to incorporate in the following paragraphs, some of the wild maneuvers of the individuals of our Glee Club—maneuvers consummated during this trip as itinerated in a former issue of the "Collegiate." PART II. Chapter One—Herbert Seagroat. Herbert was business manager, leader, dictator, father and guardian of the flock. He was so occupied that, without exception, he was obliged to forget something at every stop—either music, programs, tickets, sobriety or suit-case plus incumbent parerphanalia.

Prom three to five the beautiful rooms were filled with the smiling crowd of guests, prominent among whom were the members of the Faculty, of the Delta Alpha Delta Sorority, and tin ternities of Nu Sigma and Phi Kappa Delta. To.speak of the beauties of the room would be elaborating upon the obvious. Bui deserves mention, suffice it to say that the i scheme was yellow. Tin's was carried ou1 bi tifully with yellow jessamines and roses. Potted were there in profusion, lending their beauty. The refreshments were in evidence in abundance. Everybody seemed to think the punch was the best ever. When the delicious sherbert came around, it carried all with it. 'I were nol lacking and all enjoyed th< fully. The receiving line v..
