The Stetson Collegiate has just cause for a feeling of pride in the achievements of the past few weeks. Such a circulation as is now the possession of the advertisements of Stetson University, which advertisement is the Collegiate, cannot be built •around an empty idea. Something valuable will sell itself. An article with a gigantic selling record, posits an article of value, a thing of interest and filling some deep felt need among its purchasers. The Collegiate is filling that need.

Friday night, the Stetson orchestra gave a concert-rehearsal before few music enthusiasts, gathered at the request of the Director, Donald Faulkner. This open rehearsal was given preparatory to the Orchestra's tour of the Southern part of the state in the interest of the Stetson Student Aid Association, of which Dr. Thiot is the chairman. The concert numbers given included Tobani's famous arrangement of Suppe's Overture, "Poet and Peasant," a musical treat in itself- This overture is perhaps the most famous and most widely known of all standard works for orchestra and brass band. It will be the opening number in the programs given this year by Stetson's Symphony. The other world renowned number appearing Friday night on the program and also in the concerts while the orchestra is on tour, is the Lake arrangement of Balfe's "Bohemian Girl," standing at the very head of popular classics. Both of these numbers in the words of a member of the Stetson conservatory, "were wonderfully and very well rendered." "King Rose", Overture, by Barnard, "Moonlight Wanderings," Overture by Rollinson, both modern American concert numbers, were well received by those present. An hour's concert, consisting of "about ten pieces, was thus given in the auditorium which will be inter- (Continued on page 2) The meeting is not intended as a idents and faculty members will at- of | tend.

In a similar spirit the. staff congratulates him, on the achievements o these two decades, assuring the sam hearty cooperation from the studeh body which has in years past marked' the life in Stetson. Dr. Lincoln Hulley was born Camden, N. J., and was raised Ghester, a suburb of Philadelphia* He is of English ancestry, his fathe having been a prominent worker i the Trinity Methodist Episcopa church in Chester. He took his pre DIVINITY SOCIETY ORGANIZED AMONG MINISTERIAL MEN From Harvard Dr. Hulley went to the University of Chicago, studying there under Dr. Wm. R. Harper, in the Semitic languages. His extreme in- \| terest and application in this department of research made him before leaving Chicago, one of the foremost authorities on Hebrew and related ^ilmitic languages in the country. For *hfc work in Chicago he was given his cor's Degree in Philosophy. Later /Doctor of^Letters, and Doctor of Slaws. He was'soon called to his Alma Mater, Bucknell University to the chair of history, a position ably held for fourteen years, or until called to DeLand as President of Stetson University. This memorable event, both in the history of our school and in the j life, of the subject of this short bio- grahpy, occured in 1904. During all these years, Dr. Lincoln Hulley often filled a pulpit as pastor of various Baptist churches, and as g& lecturer upon the public platform. As president of Stetson, the attend- I ance and the endowment has been materially increased, as the years have Meetings Weekly for Work in Sermon Outline and Prayer. The Divinity students of Stetson have organized themselves into a Society for the furtherance of their aims in the ministerial work. The association, composed of over 20 young men, who are studying for active work of the ministery of the gospel, will meet weekly at 6:45 and hold an hour meeting. It is hoped that every student in this school who is working towards this end will line up with the new organization and help make it a success. The purpose of the meetings will be to give the young men a meeting of their own in which they can plan for their future work, expect encouragement from each other, and mutually be of great help in their study. These men plan to use this hour for the studying of methods of sermon outline under the direction of Rev. H. C. Garwood, head of the Bibical department of Stetson. A meeting held in.room five Elizabeth Hall, for organization, was well attended and evidenced the enthusiasm which will carry along the new society. Baptists, Methodists and other denominations were represented in this initial meeting, as the aims are to help every ministerial student in the University.

Coach Whitnel was handicapped by having to play two games in one day when he had expected two days in which to settle the difference. The elements interferred Friday and they doubled the schedule the following afternoon. Stetson played a good brand of ball, but were weak on the bases. Tatum and Culp. The former featured by a three bagger and a home run, while the latter clouted three hits in the two frays. Florida won the first game in the fourth inning. Wells lived at first on Culp's bad throw on his grounder to short. Bracken passed a line drive over short, Wells taking second. Mc- Clendon planted a neat sacrifice on the first base line, advancing both men, and Wells scoring and Bracken taking third when the catcher heaved the bunt into right field. Laird was out bunting on his third strike, but T. J. Edwards scored both men with his second safety on the day, a slashing single through second base. Logan singled but Porter and Pittman were easy outs. The charges of Rex Farrior counted their fourth run in the eighth stanza when Bracken smacked a drive for one hassock into left field with two'men out, and tallying on successive singles by McClen- don and Laird. S. Tatum doubled in Stetson's portion of the eighth, and Dunn singled, a quick throw from Pittman to Porter nabbing Tatum at the plate for the final out. Stetson hihero had been ineffective against Porter's slants. The concluding battle found Far- rior's nine starting the fireworks in frame number one. Pittman walked and went to second on Rich Porter's neat sacrifice. Wells grounded out, but "Howy" Bracken responded with a slashing drive through the middle hassock. McClendon singled, but Laird failed and grounded out to second. The 'Gators tallied in the third. Porter drew four bad ones, and Wells well placed bunt. Captain Bracken, sent him scampering to second on a proving the game's outstanding hero, again stepped to the threshold of fame, crashing a long triple into (Continued on page 2) In the awarding of 67,567 seals in teacher training work during 1923 by the Baptist Sunday School board, representing the successful completion of that many books in teacher-training work by individual teachers, Southern Baptists have set a new record for themselves and every other denomination, according to Dr. P. E. Burroughs, educational secretary of the board. This is considerably more than the awards made by all other reporting denominations combined, it is said, as this total was found to be 54,835. The awards by other denominations during the year were as follows: Southern Methodists, 28,542; Northern Methodists,l 0,961; Northern Baptists, 8,018; Southern Presbyterians, 5,592; Northern Presbyterians, 1,200; United Brethren, 800; and Congregationalists, 235.

O IN CIRCULATION Postmaster Powe Kindly Aids in Collegiate Problems. The post office in DeLand, through which each issue of the Collegiate first goes, has made very efficient disposal of the problem of handling the great number of papers. The lists are sorted by states, and by towns in this state. All going with over four others to a single city- are addressed and bundled together and the pack labelled for that place. Those" going alone to a city are wrapped separately and addressed. The bundles are then placed in mail sacks of the post office department by states and sections of the country. This work of the efficient circulation department of the Collegiate office at Stetson, does much to aid Postmaster Powe and his assistants in the proper handling of the paper. The courteous treatment of the Collegiate force by Mr. Powe deserves however, thankful mention in these columns, for it has been more or less of an irksome proposition to aid in helping the Stetson forces in getting the right' organization. Mr. Powe has been of the greatest assistance in this matter. Handling each week between 2500 and 3000 copies of a paper, it will be seen at a glance, is no small job. Yet very few complaints come in for non delivery of the Collegiate. Much of the credit belongs to the DeLand postmaster. O DeLand has the most famous Law School in the State, efficient in the highest degree, its graduates being among the biggest figures in the politics of the State today. Stetson gives results, especially when its Law School is concerned. O Stetson—the Baptist teaching Christianity. University,
