Speeches by Captain Liddell, Dean Smith, and Prominent Students. The Football Association met in Elizabeth Hall to consider the advisability of scheduling a game with Gordon Institute on Friday. Dean Smith informed the meeting that the business men would contribute $150.00 toward defraying the expenses of that game, if the students would come across with a like amount. After considerable discussion it was decided to call a mass meeting for seven o'clock in the Gym. The meeting adjourned with each man determined to bring another man and a dollar to the meeting that night. Later Dingbat borrowed a good blind horse from Cannons' and with the help of several, who did not mind dispensing with a supper, hauled several loads of dry goods boxes, donated by business men for bon fire material. At seven o'clock, the college men, Sletson Hall rat contingent, and other male students gathered around the mammoth blaze and proceeded to forget that this old sphere of human habitation is a sorry joint, and to otherwise manifest exuberant enthusiasm—some of which was forced, br^-which served son punted and ball went out ten yards from line of scrimmage.

STETSON ORATORS HAVE MEETING ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION ELECTS OFFICERS FOR THE YEAR. Mr. Dineen Chosen President.—Interest Manifested in the Work. The Stetson Oratorical Association had the first neeting of the year last Friday for tile purpose of electing officers. Mr. W. P. Dineen was unanimously chosen to be the president for the yeat and Walter Walker for vice-president. S. J. Adams was elected secretary and Rudolph Peterson was made treasurer. This association is the central literary organization of the school. It arranges for all inter-society and inter-collegiate contests, and holds the annual declamatory and oratorical contest. Membership is made up of all those who belong to the Eusophian, Stetson, Kent and Varsity Literary Societies. The business of the association is transacted by the official board, made up of the four officers and a faculty committee, consisting of PUBLIC LECTURES A MEANS OF EDUCATION By Mr. Donovan Public lectures as a means of disseminating knowledge, particularly of current events, health, science, etc., are everywhere growing more popular thruout the country. Nor is this fact to be wondered at. The average American wishes results, and he wishes to get them by the quickest possible means. He can secure all of these from a skilful and well informed lecturer in a small fraction of the time that he can from books or from magazines. In many of the smaller towns there are no libraries and the average man has his faculties in this direction badly hampered. In the 'states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Illinois, and elsewhere thruout the country this demand for public lectures—particularly free lectures—has been met by throwing open the public schools to the people during the fall and winter months. In some places the necessary expenses of the lectures have been met by public subscription, the use of the schools being, however, absolutely free. In the larger cities the expenses have been HALLOWE'EN IN CHAUDOIN ANNUAL MASQUERADE BALL DRAWS HUGE CROWD.— GROTESQUE COSTUMES.

This has beeen an annual affair for, lo, these many years. It had its beginning away back in the dark past, when the semi-civilized students were wont to enact devlish pranks on Hallowe'en—swiping the chapel hymnals, Chaudoin cutlery and Dr. Baerecke's skeleton and decorating the President s horse with green paint, being among the milder atrocities prepetrated by these gentle ruffians. It was then that the masquerade was conceived as a means of diverting the fertile brain of the students towards more gentle forms of amusement. This year, under the management of Miss Sinnot and Miss Bates the affair was a howling success. The halls were decorated and the lights covered with paper cats, witches and other spooky insignia. (The writer recognized them as the same used during the past decade or two). The costumes and make-ups were interesting and amusing. In general, however, they were similar gam on a around left, Tribble making pretty tackle. Southern offside. No gain thru line. Punted forty yards. Stetson fumbled a pass. Padgett took five yards. Another fumble. Punt thirty-five yards. Southern hit line for two yards. Tried a pass and were penalized for holding. Punted to Stetson and Sherman fumbled, Southern recovered. Liddell tackled for a loss. Forward pass for twenty Doctor Hulley is continuing his series of lectures on the Great War, and the auditorium is filled every Sunday. On the eighteenth, he presented the German argument, and last Sunday, that of the Allies. The Doctor scored the British, French and Russians most bitterly, when representing the Kaiser, and this week, he said some hard things about the Germans. It is evident to all that his sympathy lies with the Germans and Austrians. In presenting the Allies' view-point, Doctor Hulley declared that England's subter uge of upholding the neutrality of Belgium, and protecting the north coast of France, etc., did not reflect credil ably upon her. He said that England might just as well come out and admit that she was afraid of German efficiency and was determined to crush it now that an opportunity was at hand. Further I he asked what was the difference between German militarism, and English navy-ism. He also stated that Russia's mobilization was a declaration of war against Wilhelm . —Hock der Kaiser! # Tuesday afternoon the Tri-Deltas entertained at "Specs," a fact which was v ry plainly proclaimed by the 11111 abundance of Silver, Gold and Blue- .Louise Jtiuiley, fi ±Jeca fhi representative; Mr. Rader Merritt, Sigma Nu representative; Miss Emma Williams, Delta Delta Delta repre" sentative, and Mr. R. J. Longstreet, Phi Beta Psi, representative. Mrs. W. Y. Mickle and Miss Pauline Gilliland, assisted by sweet little Barbara Thomas, presided at the punch bowl. These ladies and little Barbara were most attractively gowned, pleasing in manner and gracious in service. The Dixie girls added much to the pleasure and comfort of the guests by serving a most palatable ice course. The inevitable and always entertaining Bushnell's orchestra furnished the music. The Phi Kaps now, as ever before, have an enviable reputation as , hosts. The guests were all but extravagant in their praise of the hospitality and entertaining ability of these young men. The fraternity, through the columns of the Collegiate, extends its thanks to all who in any way contributed to the pleasure and success of the evening. <$> Kent Club Had Lively Time Saturday Night. ttosa'aiid Miss Whiring. The members of the Delta Delta Delta fraternity take great pleasure in announcing their new patroness, Mrs. Robert P. Walters, # MOOT COURT. .---.-■ — Following this, Mrs. Sewell P. Hayes was at home to the fraternity girls and their friends at "The Oaks." Miss Mary Frances Ross, of Jacksonville, is the house guest of Miss Marie Russell Stephens. The members of the Kent Club jmet in their Club Room in Science ' Hall Saturday night and those on the program rendered it in a very effective manner. This is the very first meeting of the Kent Club on Saturday night, this year, and many thanks to Dr. Hulley for his kind consideration of our wish. In the business meeting Mr. Koester brought up the fact that the Club did not have a regularly appointed critic, and as it was impossible to assure the regular attendance of Critic pro tern, Prof. Wier, it was thought best to elect The Senior lawyers met Friday afternoon and decided to organize the Moot Court, and to get into this work as early as possible. This Court work is not compulsory until the winter term but as Prof. Wier offered his services to help the boys out and a vacancy cccurring on Friday afternoons it was thought that there could be a great deal of valuable time put to this much-needed practice. This shows the proper spirit for a class to be in—always ready to take advantage of any offer that will promote their welfare and Prof. Wier should have thanks and best wishes of all the class. The officers of the court, viz: Judge, Clerk, Sheriff and Deputy will be elected Friday aiternoon, by the class. % Miss Ella May Davis, of St. Augustine, and Miss Marie Willard, of Bartow, alumnae members of the Delta Delta fraternity, are visiting in DeLand—both of the class of '14 —Miss Davis graduating in the College of Liberal Arts, and Miss Willard in the Law School.

Nomina tions were asked for which resulted | scurry back to Chaudoin in the election of Prof. Wier for I doors were barred. Thursday evening, Mrs. Rosa entertained the Delta Delta Delta fraternity girls and their friends, at a Hallowe'en dance. All the various Hallowe'en sports were enjoyed to the fullest extent, as Mrs. Rosa's neighbors will testify—while the costumes "were fearfully and terribly made," as Dr. Baerecke says. An elaborate course was served—and the girls barely had time to before the world is not known; however, my supposition is that he, in the matur- er light of his later years, did not altogether trust the frivolous and ardent enthusiasm of his youth. Here are the contents of the manuscript: "The liver is one of those internal apparatuses that comprise the contents of that machine called the human body. I have discovered that the principal use of the liver is to peste the life out of its possessor. "I have also discovered that everybody has a liver. You can bet your bottom dollar on it that you never see a person rambling around the town without having his liver along with him. You have a liver, I have a liver, and every person in this wide world has a liver. Also you cannot take your liver off like you can your Sunday suit, and put into the drawer and shove moth balls into its pockets. There is much doubt expressed as to whether ghosts and statues have livers. Cats probably have nine livers, as they have nine lives. If a cow had as many livers as she has stomachs, her hide would probably burst. "Some persons livers must be as tough as shoe-leather, for they can stuff anything and everything from onions down to corn-shucks away in their anatomy without feeling any inconvenience. On the other hand, some people's livers are so sensitive that if they see a cockroack meandering peacefully around in their grits, their liver turns a somersault and howls with joy. "Livers, like poets, are born and not made. If they could be manufactured, I would buy me one made of cast steel, brass-bound, galvanized, and copper-riveted, in which I could stow away any rubbish whatsoever, without fear of it afterward jumping up and kicking up a rumpus.
