If one is to judge from the questions that are being constantly asked of the Oshihiyi staff, it would seem that there is more interest being manifest in the 1924 Oshihiyi than in any previous annual, for hardly an hour passes without some member of the staff being accosted with this familiar question: "WhenTl the an nual be out?" The Collegiate has asked this same question of the staff, and has received the following information to pass along t0 its readers: There are two plans that are generally followed by larger Universities in the publication of their year books. One is to organize the annual staff the last week of the school year to publish the annual for the oncoming year, and thus give the staff the first few months of school t0 get the major part of the work of editing out of the way early in the year. The events that happen in the latt«r part of the year are thus carried over to the next annual. There is another way practised even more generally in the publication of yearbooks. This method is to elect the staff in the early part of the school year and give the staff the entire nine months to edit thebook, and include in the book all the events of the year—even those of commencement. Then, after the school has closed, the book is finally published and mailed to the students with the entire year's record within its covers. The method of publishing the Stetson Oshihiyi, as has been practiced, it, neither^oi the above.- The Juriior class meets a few weeks before Ohristmas and elects the Annual staff, and the staff is thus given only from Christmas to Commencement to gather material and assimilate it in logical form, and have it printed and delivered to the hands of the students. , Because of this practice, many of the events of the school year are thus kept out of the book. The latter part of the baseball season, (Continued on page 2.) O YOUNG MEN'S CLASS OF BAPTIST CHURCH ENTERTAIN SANFORD S. BRYAN JENNINGS Trustee, Stetson University The Stetson Collegiate Weekly is this week dedicated t0 Mr. S. Bryan Jennings, of Jacksonville, Florida. Mr. Jennings cut should have been in last week's issue on the double-page given over to the trustees of the University. Unfortunately, our engravers omitted enclosing this cut in the shipment, and although every effort was made to get another on time, it was impossible to do so. Bryan, as his old frat. brothers of Phi Kappa Delta, used to call him, is a graduate of the Law School, and of the College of Liberal Arts, of Stetson University. Immediately on graduating he en- * tered the law field and has been very successful in his practice. The Stetson Collegiate Weekly welcomes the opportunity of dedicating this edition of the paper to Mr. Jennings, a Stetson alumnus, and now a trustee of the University. BACCALAUREATE SERMON SUNDAY -LINCOLN HULLEY President Hulley Gives The Large Audience a Real Treat. COMMENCEMENT ADDRESS TUESDAY BY D.J. BLOCKER Life of "Uncle" Dan Block- er an Example to Youth. BIGGER AND BETTER STETSON IS TO BE SLOGAN OF SUMMER In the Sunday School rooms of the First Baptist church of DeLand, on Thursday night, the boys' class of the Senior department, entertained the same class from the Sanford church with a banquet. . The briquet comes as a result of a contest held some months ago between the two classes in attendance building, in which the Sanford boys completely excelled the University class. Their work and the number of men brought out t0 their meeting every Sunday morning, not only swamped the college efforts, but showed the brand of fellows and the kind of work the Sanford men are capable of. The ladies of the church, led by Mrs. Garwood, prepared the feast, and the president of the class, Douglass King, managed the entertainment. 0 SIGMA NU DANCE Every Stetson booster is behind the Bigger and Better Stetson movement. Their staunch support of this platform of the Collegiate's, is the criterion by which loyalty t V1* Alma Mat8S is judged. **^H, Merely passive -acquiescence to the plan is not sufficient for a red-blooded wide-awake Stietsonite. Something aggressive is the only way a real American can express himself. The expression of this loyalty by one of Stetson's premier athletes has been brought to the attention of the Collegiate, and will be handed along to others who might like to help the Green and White by bringing new students to DeLand. Any one who is* vitally interested in athletics for instance, although the application of this program works in more than one branch of [student activity, can interest high school grad uates and other college material, who are also athletes of note in their respective schools in Stetson, with more efficiency than could other Stetson men. The high school graduates who are stars in their particular line of sport, if^ you are also interested here will listen to your arguments with a degree of enthusiasm. Especially is tfiw U'tur of your house town'fellows and girls. Again, this same Stetsonite believes that in building athletics we have struck the keynote in building this Bigger and Better Stetson. And no one can do this easier than one who is looked up to by the high school students. This applies to musicians in College and all branches of College activities. Stanley Culp is the author of this suggestion, and it is not proving, of the hot-air variety so common in people with' advice. Stanley has put his plan into operation and found that it works. Last Friday evening the Sigs brought to a close their social season with an informal dance at the house on East Minnesota avenue. At the hour of ten o'clock the happy couples began arriving and was not long be fore the'large reception hall adorned with the colors of the Fraternity presented a scene of gaiety and jollity. The young ladies were attractively dressed in beautiful evening gowns and the young men wore white flannels and dark coats. A great number of the Alumni were present and the Stray Greeks on the Campus were also present to make more merry the happy throng. The music was furnished by the famous Green River Orchestra whose popular dance pieces went a long way towards making the party a great success. In the wee-small hours of the morning the couples departed with many explanations of the wonderful evening they had spent. 3Far^lttj #nnn—1924 Dr. Hulley.

[ tt . .;_ ,__& Dr. Lincoln Hulley preached a Baccalaureate sermon which will have made a lasting impression upon his most attentive audience gathered in Elizabeth Hall Sunday at eleven o'clock. The Stetson Choral Society, Dr. Hulley, Dr. Thiot, ReV. Hunter and Rev. Self, were upon the stage t0 await the coming of the marching Seniors and faculty who occupied the inner sections of the auditorium. The procession was under the able direction of Loomis Slater and was headed by Miss Helen Howard, a graduate in Stenography. Dr. Hulley's sermon was based upon Romans 1:166, and his subject, Fearing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. His audience were shown that the first mentions of Christ were repre- hensive, those of Tacitus and Sew- tonious, the Roman Historians. But Paul, the most learned of the Jews, instead of laying the blame for the tumult of the age at the feet of Jesus and his religion, rightly placed it in the antagonism of this faith. Paul was unafraid of proclaiming the gospel, and even tho in Rome today would be found at his life long task. Dr. Hulley likened the Gospels, as a reservoir, to Lake Katrine in Scotland, which stores up the energy to run the mills of Glasgow, quench the thirst of the people of Glasgow, and to serve every other need for water of the people of Glasgow, again liken- ened to Niagra, to Muscle Shoals. This story turned the head of the rabbte-, turned the chief qrator of the Sanhedrin, turned the most bitter of the persecutors of the Christians into the heartiest supporter of the lowly Nazarene. It changed Lukei, Matthew, John Mark, John and James and the rest of the disciples and thru the ages has been changing men and women from children of Adam into Chiistlike followers of Jesus. Dr. Hulley reminded the school of their desire to boast of the fine actor, the skilful pianist, of the fine manners of a comrade, and in this connection he paid a beautiful tribute to (Continued on page 2.) 0— GEORGE ETIMERME GAINERE George Etienne Ganiere, instructor in the department of ■ Sculpture, studied under Wuertz Van Den Bergen and Taffc, receiving his art education at the Chicago Art Institute, where he later was the instructor of the department of Sculpture. fir.

First and foremost, D. J. Blocker is a Florida product, a Florida boy, who had a vision and worked in the colleges of the country until that vis- ion was brought int0 reality. Dan Blocker, before entering Stetson Academy, was earning his way thru the world, although a meager way it was. as a section hand on the railroad. This section hand Joseph, dreamed that he should some time be president of a college, and his pals of tin dinner-bucket, laughed him to scorn. He entered the grades in Stetson Academy, labored through them, following with the high school, and finally the college four years, graduating, with his master degree. From Stetson, Blocker journeyed to the University of Chicago, where he earned his Doctor's robes. Returning to Stetson as our Professor of Psychology and Philosophy, he spent a few years in that capacity. Williams and Mary soon called "Uncle" Dan from cur midst to be the assistant professor of Psychology in their institution, a place admirably filled. Within a year and a half, Shorter saw the qualities exhibited by this assistant professor, and called hini to bs President'Sf*Siio^r-«b*o^- lege in Rome, Georgia, a position successfully filled for over a year and a half. "Uncle" Dan Blocker is a Phi Kappa Delta fraternity man, being during his many years here the light and life 0f the frat. He is, also a very talented speaker. But as an example to the coming generation, does D. J. Blocker fill the full capacity of a "man.". He is a living example of a goal raised and reached. stetsonmsket" ball girls given their letters Long List of Deserving Athletes Awarded by Coaches.

The 1924 girls' basketball, headed by Miss Ruth Jennings, completed a schedule, giving them a name synonymous with victory. The Hatterines have well upheld the traditions of the school and deserve the letters which were awarded them this last week. The list of girls to wear the prized "S" was included in a letter t0 Dr. Hulley, which we are permitted to publish: DeLand, Fla., March 28, 1924. To Dr. Lincoln Hulley, President, Stetson University, DeLand, Florida, Dear Sir: The following is the list of young ladies who have played upon the young ladies' basketball team for the past season and to whom the undersigned have presented the University letter: Miss Ruth Jennings, Capt., Crescent.
