Mr. Haskins, representing the Debating Team of the Club stated that inasmuch as the Varsity Club wished to change the subject for the Annual Debate, the team would like to have the club act on the same, and as the team favored a change, this was carried; the full subject could not be obtained for this publication. Mr. Maines then made his Inaugural Address, which was followed j by the regular debate, subject : I Resolved, That the Torren's System of transferring Title should be adopted.

The local chapter of the Inter collegiate Prohibition Oratorical Association held the annual contest in the auditorium last Monday evening. The wanner was Mr. Walter G. Walker of New Smyrna, and he will go to Rollins to represent Stetson in the State contest which will be. held on April 16. Stetson has once had the honor of winning not only'- the State but also the Interstate and the National contest when Mr. Frank Wideman took the highest honor at Atlantic City in the summer of 1912. It is to be hoped that Mr. Walker will succeed in emulating his illustrious example. Mr. Hugh G. Jones two years ago won the State contest but was This year sees a larger Normal Class than has blest the university since the lamented departure of Dr. Suhrie from our midst.

Evidently They Are Not Dependent Upon the "Bar" The last Vesper Sendee of the year was given in the auditorium last Sunday. Easter Sunday always marks the close of the Vespers. As usual the entire program was musical. The choir never appeared to better advantage and sang many splendid anthems. Director Gue- vchenian has succeeded in presenting one of the best choirs that has ever represented the uni- versitv.

Charles Walker was the second speaker.

Next on the firing line was "Doc" Maines, who said that it was not the custom for all druggists to be fat, and that if he could not land fifteen per in a pill shop,, he w-ould help some insurance company "make a living." James P. Dodge, Jr., was the next on his feet, and in his most eloquent manner proclaimed a wade knowledge of office work. A. R. Roebuck was a little timid in telling what he w-ould do, but after being coaxed, he stated that a man did not have to be a lawyer to be elected tax assessor in his home county. Walter G. Walker next came forward and said that he knew^ something about the lestaurant business, but that he preferred to mix concrete. "Dutch" Hammond represented that he had been in Stetson five years and consequently did not have any practical knowledge, but as he hailed from Fruitland Park he would make a grand fruit packer. Abe Rivers, stated that he had always been the baby at home and that his father had not taught him anything about work, but that he thought he could spon land a job on most any railroad.*" H.
