Dear Editor:—I received a Christmas package from J. B. 1. quite some time since and beg pardon for not acknowledging oner and thanking the kind giver for it. Please accept my very heartiest thanks for it; I surely enjoyed the contents verv much. I surely would like very much to be back at J. B. S. U. this year, but under the circumstances of our present national crisis I feel that I am justified in giving up a few years of my college life. There are quite a number of college men in training here in the Hospital School. The spirit of patriotism surely has been made evident in the sacrifices of many of the men here. We are, as a whole, a very well contented bunch of fellows and enter into the work with a cheerfulness that, I suppose, all young people have. I expect to graduate about February 5. when I am anticipating a visit home, tho' my stay will necessarily be short. With best wishes for a successful New Year I close with loyalty and a happy remem- berance of J. B. S. U. Yours truly, Stuart M. Gould. o STETSON SOLDIERS. Our boys have gone to the colors. And we don't know what to say; The boys we loved have left us, They're under the flag today. We thot perhaps 'twould be later. And they'd tarry a while with us afl. But Uncle Sammy was calling, And thev have heard the call. They pause when they get to the cantonments, And march to the sound of the drum. And labor there for Old Glory; 'Til to France they bid them come. There they'll reward Uncle Sammy, And do honor to Stetson's name; There they'll fight for the colors. To their own great honor and fame. But the time is coming—Soldiers When this war will have to cease. When you can turn to your homeland.- And the world will be at peace. And Stetson will watch your coming, And think of you day by day; A The girl will be here waiting. To hear what you have to say. The home fires still will be burning, And as the dying embers glow. You will tell her again love's story; As you had told her long ago.

What's the matter with Stetson? I wish the answer might be. after the manner of College Yells, "She's All Right"—but she is not all right. Much as I hate to admit it, something is wrong at Stetson. What is it: Can it be remedied, and how3 There is a woeful lack of College Spirit. One of two things must be true: Either the Colle.. unworthy of that love, loyaltv and enthusiasm which is the essence of college spirit, or the Students are unworthy of the College, refusing to give tribute that is due. The whole University from the highest official to the humblest member of the student body seem to have settled down so far as college activities are concerned to a daily grind of nothing but study and recitation. These of course are the chief end of a college course and I don't object to grinding—I rather enjoy it, but once in a while I want something to yell about and a lot of students to yell with me—and if I don't get that chance at college somebody ' is cheating me, or I am cheating j myself in attending the wrong j college. We haven't had a foot- ' ball game this vear. We haven't i 1 had a basketball game this vear. I _ I The gymnasiums are without in- J structors and empty. It might be said in excuse:' "We are substituting Military Drill j in place of Athletics," but does an hour a day of military" training so exhaust the young men they are physically unable to stand football and basketball practice, or are they in anticipation of woman's suffrage fitting themselves for the higher duties of the home, expecting to turn the men's jobs over to the women? The young men and the young women of Stetson squander in idle nothings each day enough time to get into good shape several class teams, if nothing more, in all branches of athletics. Perhaps I am all wrong in thinking College Spirit is an essential or desirable thing, and perhaps I shall be told that all emphasis is now on patriotism, that ath- letcis in college should give way to patriotism, but the best authorities say not. The}' urge that college work and college athletics go on. Why? Because about the best preparation for going over the top is to go through the center or around the end. Because the normal college with its college activities and its college spirit is the best patriotism factor}' that we have. The spirit of love and loyalty to one's college, the spirit that leads her students to think she is the best and noblest of colleges. with the finest professors, the highest standards of scholarship in the class room and the highest standards of honor and sportsmanship on the athletic field; the spirit that gives gladly of one's individual time and strength, that endures much physical denial and no little physical danger for the glory of "My College;" that goes wild with her victories and weeps at her defeats, is one of the greatest things of college life. How long a step is it from that feeling for one's College to that same feeling for one's Country' There was a time when the whole student body, enthusiastically seconded bv the citizens of DeLand, HOW TO USE THE UNIVERSITY LIBRARY.

There are many outlines of the history of music, historv of music by various authors, and books on harmony. There are also books containing much discussion of the music of all other countries as well as of that of America. The question of knowin.; where to find something concerning the different musicians is solved when one consults this collection of books.

The hour of Peace will first strike when Germany will no longer heed the makers of the war, when the militarism and chauvinism which kindled the war are shamed and despised, when the people say to the Emperor William, "You have we followed, you have we obeyed, to you we have sacrificed the dearest of life, the lives of our sons and our husbands and our fathers, the ideals and beliefs of our ancestors and under which the book is found, I our own better nature.
