Within thy soul the graces of Ar- cady Inform the living spirit of a queen; "Expel thy humor sad, 0 gentle lady, And lead a dancing measure on the green. There! light of heart, and graceful as a fairy, Thy smile to every waiting courtier brings Sweet joy; who, circling easily and airy, Trips lightly on the sward and blithely things. i Thy wit is like the bubbling of a fountain, Outpouring, mirth and music, love and life, Or like the dew that glistens on the mountains With purity and crystal beauty rife. How rich, Oh Rosalind, sweet my coz, thy fancy! A velvet softness lives in thee by choice; As free as air thy speech, what necromancy Lurks in the tones and accents of thy voice. Y.W.C.A. RECEPTION | STETSON VARSITY RESTS AFTER GAME WITH SOUTHERN-MUCH DOPE SPILLED ON SATURDAY Last Friday evening was the scene of a very delightful affair at Chau- dein Hall by the Y: W. C. A. of the University. The entire student body was invited to this reception and a great many were present. About 8 o'clock the guests began to arrive and continued to do so until the parlors of Chaudoin were filled with students and their friends. The hall was tastefully decorated with palms and bamboo which blended with the soft glow of the lights. The lights were shaded with red and green tissue and festons of Spanish moss hung from the chandeliers. Dr. Allen kindly consented to allow the boys to remain until eleven so that the evening's pleasure might be extended as far as possible. Dainty refreshments of pineapple ice and cake were served to the guests. Toward the latter part of the evenirtg the guests were entertained by a very distinguished number of musicians, several selections were rendered by them which were greatly enjoyed by all. Many of the old Stetson songs were sung by those present at the affair, accompanied by these talented musicians on various instruments. Quite a bit of enthusiasm was stirred up when the old Stetson songs were sung and it is only hoped that soon there will be a similar gathering so that more songs may be sung and more good times had. The Y. W. C. A. is certainly to be commended for their ability to give a reception that will be remembered by those present as one of the most delightful affairs of the school year. O YOUNG MEN'S BIBLE The Hatter varsity did not do mu'-lf | victory over the Tigers. Duval flash- this week after the game with Southr j ed a snappy offensive game however, which the Lake City lads were un- CL ASS The Young Men's Bible class is planning to do some very interesting work during the winter. This class has the good fortune of having Prof. Garwood as the teacher. Dr. Garwood is instructor in Bible, studies at the University and consequently knows the Bible from Genesis to Revelations. Every young man in the University who is interested in Bible study would doubtless find this course very beneficial and interesting. The class takes this opportunity to" extend a cordial invitation to each and every young man connected with the school or in town^ to attend these classes which are held from 9:45 to 10:45 each Sunday morning at the Baptist church. Too often the Bible is found, by us, to be very dry and uninteresting reading when we do our reading at home with no explanation as to some of the things that we do not understand. Dr. Garwood, with his practical methods and thorough explanations, makes the Bible an interesting as well as beneficial study. In such an atmosphere there is naturally a warm and friendly feeling of brodtherhood between each of the young men in the class. Come to our meetings and you will be greatly beenfitted. At the last meeting of this class the officers were elected and the class completely organized. Mr. 01- lie Edmunds was elected as President; Mr. Leon E. Forbes as 1st vice president; 2nd vice president, Mr. Ed Henderson, secretary, Marion O'Kel- ly. • . CARL MAYS, Reporter. r> Judge (addressing Liza:) "Liza, do you believe in divorces?" Liza: "Ise sure do, Judge; we women just got to have something to keep us in circulation." ern. While a game was scheduled with the Tampa Legion, it was called off to give the team practice on new plays and this was the program for the whole week. The Hatters are pointing to the game with Southern here on Nov. 3 and are out for re;r venge for the defeat which they were given at Southern two weeks ago. The papers in the southern part of the state were making much over the Southern victory over the Hatters. We will see what is said after the Southern game here Nov. 3. The Hatters have no alibis for the game at Southern and are looking for none. All they ask is to get Southern up here on Nov. 3 and give them a chance to show which is the best team.. The defeat down at Southern showed the Hatters that they were not unbeatable and they are working hard to overcome any weakness which they showed in the game at Lakeland. It is hoped that the injured members of the team will be in condition to play by the time Sou- then gets here on Nov. 3. The next game on the schedule is with the St. Augustine Legion in St. Augustine Oct. 27. This will probably be the last game away from hose this season for the Hatters. Rollins beat the St. Augustine Legion 47-0 in the first game of the season and the Springfield Athletic Club beat them in St. Augustine, so the Hatters should be able to take the Staints into camp without any trouble although they may upset the dope and extend the able to stop and the Tigers, were returned easy winners. Lakeland high school made the chances of the Duval Tigers look extremely slim, however, when they trempled the Orlando high school lads under foot by a score of something like 34-6. This game was on Orlando's own field and the best the Duval machine could do was an 18-0 victory against Orlando in Jacksonville, which would make the thing look like Lakeland for the state title. KENT CLUB The first regular program was given October 15. E. M. Cook gave an exceptionally well prepared and well rendered talk which showed good preparation and thought. His subject was , Bank versus Bunk, one of his points being that the original name of bank was bunk and that bank was three-quarters bunk. The club enjoyed the talk very much and is looking forward to his debates. Tr-ofessor Tribble, who is helping the Kent Club whenever he can, gave a very encouraging talk on Kent Club and Intercollegiate debating. Florence Hazard, Hall Shepherd, and Joe Cannon are the speakers for the next meeting which will be held October 22. 0 PORTIA OUR CIRCULATION CAMPAIGN NOW ON Coach Knute Rocknes' powerful Notre Dame eleven invaded the East for the second time in two weeks and for the second time in two weeks returned West with the Easterners' scalp dangling at their belt. Two weeks ago they came East to play the Army which was considered by many the strongest team in the East and Notre Dame triumphed 13-0. The Army outweighed them many pounds to the man. When Notre Dame was expected to make their gains by passes they made most of them by line bucks. This week they again came East to try the Princeton Tiger and walloped Princeton't 25-2. Again the Easterners expected a great open attack and again Notre Dame gained by line plunges. They gained over 425 yards against the Tiger by straight football. Next Saturday Georgria Tech plays Notre Dame and , a chance to compare them with Flor- green and white to the limit. .;.. ... . n ,■ ,X7- .« ., ., -.» * -,-»-, , ,, wM.thi will be given. We are afraid it Most of the Football team was out ; m„„i, +v,^ won t be favorable to TLech or the of town for- the week-end and no | Q„tort3 practice was held on Saturday. A j * hard week of work is ahead before "..«,, next Saturday. As is usually the case Georgia Tech beat Georgetown. The Yellow Jackets were doped to lose the contest to tiie Hilltoppers, but as usual, Tech rose to her greatest heights against Georgetown and came from behind to win. As was the case with Florida last week, Tech won in the last half. In the first half, Georgetown stopped the Tech offensive and scored ten points. In the second half Tech scored all of their twenty points. Albright, who saved the Golden Tornado from defeat at Florida's hands a week ago, again saved the Yellow Jackets with his spectacular broken field running in the last half. As was expected the Florida Gators walloped the Rollins Tars by a good sized score in Gainesville Saturday. According to accounts, the Gator varsity pushed over three touchdowns on the Tars in the first quarter and eased up thereafter. The Gators won the game 28-0. While the Tars lost by twenty-eight points, it is not a sign that they are a weak team, as they were playing one of the strongest teams in the South for this season. The Gators without a doubt, rank as the best in the South and the Tars put up a game battle to hold them as well as they -did. The Hatters will have a chance at Florida on Nov. 10 here. At the League social, Sam Callier will sing that beautiful ballad, entitled: "I'll give back your kisses if you'll give back my dough." "Sistah Smith, Ps sorry, but I needs must dephat." "Oh. Mr. Johnsing—needs you must?" be Scott: "Jones, you seem to losing flesh lately." Jones: "Yes, I bought a safety razor." Ephram sez $600 a night for vaudeville is pretty spensive when he can look at a fool any old day for nothin'. Poor Joe Joe saw the train but couldn't stop, They dragged his flivver to the shop. It only took a day or two To make his car good as new. But though they hunted high and low, They found no extra parts for Joe. It seems that Vanderbilt has hit the slides after almost three years of Football, during which time they were not defeated. Last week against Michigan at Michigan, marked the first time in over twenty-four months the Vandy machine had bowed in defeat and then they turn right around the past Saturday and lose to Texas 16-0. Either Texas has some team or Vandy his lost its fighting power after having their great record broken. No doubt they were keyed up to a high point to keep their record clean and suffered by a let up when Michigan nosed them out last week. The defeat of Vandy by Texas should mark Texas as one of the greatest teams in the country, as Michigan only beat Vandy 3-0, while Texas won 166-0. Michigan beat Ohio State 23-0 in thr;r first conference game and that is quite a beat. Texas evidently has some team. In the state high school circles this week no upsets were recorded, although Summerlin Institute from Bartow came close to hitting a snag at Sanford Saturday. The Summerlin boys nosed out a 3-0 victory in the last two minutes of play when Burnett kicked a field goal from the fifteen yard line. Burnett, as usual, was the star for Bartow. The Duval Tigers slightly upset the dope by trimming Lake City high school in Lake City by a score of 38- 0. . The Tigers had not flashed much offensive power prior to this game, and it was thougjit that at last after patiently waiting so long for the Lake City team had a chance to gain a Center College showed that they possessed much of their old strength by defeating the Oglethorpe Petrels 28-0. The Petrels supposed to be one of the greatest passing machines in the South, were woefully weak in this depaitment. Center intercepting four of their passes for gains. This makes the Colonels strong contenders for the Southern title this year, *as it is a far worse defeat than the Tech Yellow Jackets were able to administer to the Petrels in the first game of the season. The Florida Baby Gators triumph ed in .their first contest against an other college this year when' they de feated the Tennessee Freshmen 18 12 in Jacksonville Saturday. It was' evidently a rough and tumble affair, as three men were put out of the game for un-necessary roughness and Florida pen'alized half the distance to the goal twice and Tennessee once for unnecessary roughness. This makes quite a record for the Baby Gators as they have been scored on only once in the two years and have not lost a single game they hardly have as strong a team now as last year, however. O If Mr. Kirk Gunby will call at the XJreka box office, this week, he will find a pass for two waiting. v If Mr. Monkey Mortiz will call at the Dreka box office this week, he will find a pass for two waiting. If Miss Perses Burns will call at the Dreka box office this week, she will find a pass for two waiting. If Miss Lucile Newby will- call at the Dreka box office this week, she will find a pass for two waiting. When Venice early wooed and wed the water, At Belmont, on the heights a princess dwelt, Fair Portia, William Shakespeare's lovliest daughter, And every god-like grace before her knelt. Her soul in beauty dwelt apart and lonely, Her mind was like a palace rich and rare, With golden roofs, and cedar floors and only The choicest spirits held communion there. She drew her inspirations from the morning-, The gold of summer sunsets left a glow Of light within her heart, and gentle scorning For wrong; With joy her life did overflow. Tho learned in law and skilled to plead, and witfcj, She ever kept sweet charity in view; Like gentle rain her words drop warmest pity To melt the icy features of the Jew. O BUT WHERE WAS CORPORAL HON? We watched the war as it spread its wings Till it crossed the sea with threats, Then up sprang the college men to arms— The first of the college cadets. "Break ranks!" "Today," said Cor-' poral Hon, "I start for the fields of France, I don the khaki with the engineer^ To measure that deathly dance." Ploughing the sea lanes strewn with bombs, Tossed thick in the channel's lap, The good ship carried the corporal's men Without the least mishap. Then on with march, and drill and charge, Through heat, and cold, and rain, Battling with mud in field and trench, In an agony of pain! But where was he when the flame and shell Streamed over the sky in jets, When Pandemonium rent the air— Find Hon of the college cadets! Over the top, one arm in a sling, With bandages swathing his head, Gripping the butt of a captured gun, On the field they faund him dead. In a big grave yard over there in France,- High up on the scroll of fame, With others who followed the flag that day, You may read his honored name. O Wonder what the German counterfeiters are doing for a living these days?—Little Rock Arkansas Gazette. O Now the girls are going to rouge their ears. Well, that's about the only thing that makes them red any more.—Chicago American Lumberman. -O- House-breaking and burglary are now in full swing. The burglars must be optimists to follow so hard on the heels of the Income Tax Collectors.—London Opinion. The Collegiate is going to have the biggest year that it has ever had. A big circulation campaign is about to begin. At the end of the compaign, every one in Stetson University i.s going to be a Collegiate subscriber. That sounds like a pretty big bet. But nevertheless, the Collegiae is going to "completely cover the college fiefild by the time that the campaign. is over. Start ing in the very near future, the spirit of the campaign is going'to sweep the University from the Academy students to the faculty. The Collegiate is going to have the largest proportional circulation of any college paper in the country that doesn't have compulsory subscriptions. No bet is going to be overlooked in putting over this campaign^ Every possible chance of getting a subscription is going to be taken advantage of. We are sure that the students of Stetson will stand behind us in our effort to make The Collegiate the best in the country! If every one will only do their fair share of it, we can put this over big. The more you dofor The Collegiate, the more The Collegiate can do for you. It makes a perfect circle, "you do this for me and I'll do that for you." If the circulation covers the college we can give you more news than we can how—we have to save some space for the advertisers, because without them we could not run for a single minute, but we are not going to be so dependent upon the advertisers in the future. Much as we owe the advertisers now, they are going to owe us much more in the future. An advertisement in the Collegiate is going to mean something sure enough when the Collegiate does completely » cover the college. Announcements wiJI be made from the chapel rostrom soon, at that time the facts will all be made clearer to you than we can now do. Remember that The Collegiate is going to do something big. Something big for Stetson and for you, Stetson students. —6 . THE PRESIDENT'S ROOM Here in this room, as captain of the ship, With men as choice as ever formed , a crew, Through many turns of happy partnership I've faced the dangers stormy fortune blew. And when from pilot house or quarter deck No eye could pierce the gathering thickening gloom > When fog and mist hung dense and low to wreck Our boat and hurl us to a painful doom. When wind, and rain, and driving whirling gust Pressed on us in the tumult of the blast, When rocky reefs and shallows sure- must O'erwhelm us neath the watery gulfs at last. Twas easy for the captain of the ship To steer the craft to safety through the gale; Not once to let the precious cargo slip On bar, or beach, or lose a single sail. The Master of the ship had fixed the bounds, Had charted every turn and twist to make, And in the channel set the lights and sounds Of bells, and buoys on the course to take. Oft when the sky was black and over cast Firm faith alone to chart and compass must Then turn, when lo! all clouds and storms were past And God ' had justified the sailor's trust. O Even a woman doesn't swallow flattery; she likes to taste it. Don't look for trouble unless you know what to do with it when you find it.
