DELAND, FLORIDA, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 25, 1916. NUMBER 19 SOUTHERN EASY FOR VARSITY LOCAL BASKETERS TAKE TWO FROM VISITORS WITH EASE. Magnificent Team Play of Varsity the Only Thing of Interest in the Games. Southern was Outclassed. Stetson's Championship Team of Basketball trimmed the Southern Quintette very unceremoniously in both games played last week. The one-sided scores are even greater than that which the Jacksonville Y. M. C. A. piled up against Southern. These victories retrieve the defeats which Stetson has suffered in former years from these athletes. The team work displayed by the Stetson players was of high quality and worked to ' perfection at all times. In the first game the Green and White team swept the opposing team off their feet by a whirlwind rush and soon put the game out of their reach. Rutherford lead his team mates by making nine field goals but in excellence of playing he is not to be placed before his comrades. They all played equally well. Hollander and Minter at guards did not permit their opponents any liberty with the ball at any time. The second half was a repetition of the first with substitutes playing splendidly. Score—Stetson 54, Southern 11. The line-up and summary: Stetson Southern Palmer F King Gardner ...F Shannon Rutherford C ... .Bolden Hollander.., ...G Fulton Minter....

SECOND GAME. The second game wras an exact duplicate of the first game with less pep and a much smaller number of spectators. Our fellows soon put the game safely out of reach of Southern and then proceeded to tantalize them by some fast and accurate passing of the ball. Sometimes Southern made very feeble efforts to get the ball away from their opponents. The final score was 42—13. The line-up and summary: Stetson. Forward—Palmer. Forward—Hollander.

PHI KAPPA DELTA ANNUALBANQUET EIGHTEEN ANNUAL BANQUET OF FRATERNITY A SPLENDID AFFAIR. Held at College Arms—A Notable Gathering Present—Brilliant Speaking. PRESENTATION DAY EXERCISES MANY PROMINENT EDUCA- CATORS PRESENT TO ASSIST IN CEREMONIES. THE PI PHI EVEN BREAK RECEPTION WITH SOUTHERN PI BETA PHI HAS GALA WEEK On the evening of February 17, at the College Arms Hotel, the Phi Kappa Delta Fraternity held its Eighteenth annual, banquet. •This was the largest and most successful of any previous banquet given by this Fraternity. Covers were laid for over one hundred members and guests. Many guests pronr'nent in Fraternal and Educational affairs were present, among whom were: Dr: Henry C. Mabie, Dr. C.L. Collins, of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, Mr. and Mrs. John B. .Stetson, Jr.. Mr. and Mrs. Henrys Stetson, Dr. Lincoln Hulley of Phi Gamma Delta Fraternity, Mrs. W. S. Jennings, President of the . State . Federation of Women's Clubs of Florida, and Miss M. Weller of Pi Beta Phi Fraternity: The table was arranged in the form of a "T" at the head of I which were the principal speakers j of the evening. The decorations consisted of many large bouquets of red and white carnations. The Menu was well selected and could not have been improved upon, and was served in the true College Arms style. After every one had banqueted to their hearts (?) desire; then followed the feast of reason and flow of soul without which no banquet is complete. The first speaker was Mr. Wm. J. Skinner who welcomed the guests in a most hearty manner, followed by responses from the, representatives of the different Fraternities: Mr. George Coleman of Sigma Nu, Miss Mary M. Sheppard of j Delta Delta Delta, Mr. Amos J. | Parkhurst of Phi Beta Psi, Miss M. Weller of Pi Beta Phi, and Mr. Edward F. Donavan of Phi Alpha j Delta. I "Parson" Walker spoke to the i congregation on the subject of "Our Seniors" in the course ofj which he carelessly uttered some! very flattering remarks. Mr. Lewis ] (Ike) Tribble, one of our last year's law grads spoke for our alumni, and in his characteristic style dwelt at length upon the! subject of loyalty. Then followed an address by Dr. Henry C. Mabie, who in a very interesting way told of his travels and especially remarked that we should be thank- ! ful that we are in this beautiful { land of sunshine and flowers at this season of the year. The next and last speaker, Dr. C. L. Collins, gave us a treat i n the form of a mock scientific discourse by which he proved conclusively and beyond a reasonable doubt that Tweedle Dee was a separate and distinct word from Tweedle Dum. His address was chock full of witticisms I and was very much njoyed byj all present; it was a most fitting close of a very pleasant evening, one that will be remembered by those present for years to come. i Somewhere in the wee sma'! hours our most worthy toast mas-j Reverend Doctor Henry B. Mabie, of Roslindale, Mass., Delivered the Founder's Day Address. Miss Weller, President of Beta Province, The Guest of Florida Alpha Chapter. FIRST GAME AN EASY VICTORY FOR VARSITY—VISITORS REVERSE SCORE IN SECOND. The Annual Founder's Day exr ercises were impressively observed, Friday, February the eighteenth, and as usual our town's people were present in large numbers; also the student body en masse. After an organ postlude, the Day's exercises were opened by the singing of the Stetson Alma Mater song. Dr. Augustus H. Strong, ex-President of Rochester Theological Seminary gave .the. invocation prayer. It was a beautiful prayer from the heart of a noble and faithful Christian leader. Following the prayer a Trio from "The Flower Queen" was beautifully rendered by the Misses Harvey Fisk and Futch. The choir then sang "Upidee," and the Honorable Silas B. Wright, heartily welcomed everyone to the Day's exercises. Again the choir sang this time, "Sweet and Low," and Dr. Hulley introduced the Reverend Doctor Henry B. Mabie of Roslindale, Massachusetts, who was to deliver the Founder's day address. Dr. Mabie has traveled widely and has had much to do with the success of the modern mission movement. He interestingly spoke on the subject of Constructive Factors in Future Education. His significant question was, ■ "After the World War—What?" With this introductory question he turned to a discussion of the important points of the future education. Our education of the future, he said, must give more attention to the power of personality, the lack of this interest in personality being the cause of much of our modern immorality, vice and pagan- istic viewrs, and, as he said, the needs of education were the rational mind, the realization that character is growth into personality, and finally that what we want is not a self-centered individualism, but a God-centered personality. He next spoke of the theories of evolution and contrasted the biological and theistic conceptions. No man, said he, could even explain growth much less world beginnings, nor could we believe that nature came into being thru itself. Life could not be explained in the terms of physical chemistry, nor could any Christian thinker accept the materialistic theory of evolution. After this world war, the doctor said, sobriety must come when we should enthrone the true One, the God who alone knows all evolutions. Thru Darwin He has revealed to us His plan of Creation. Further he stated, that the world's future education would embrace a study of crises. Pain, he said has its place in world growth and education, and in and under all the world's pain there is a supreme divine sufferer who has entered into the world and must enter into it to transform every human life. The members of the local chapter Pi Beta Phi fraternity for the past week have had as their guest Miss M. Weller, President of Beta Province. The young ladies did themselves proud' as hostesses. The festivities began Friday night with a Cooky Shine in the Fraternity rooms in the library building. Saturday morning the members journeyed to Daytona Beach to spend the day. The weather being a" little chilly no surf bathing was indulged in, but instead all enjoyed a swim in the large pool at the Nautilus after which came lunch at the Neptune, and a trip up the beach, some of the party visiting the lighthouse. The party returned in the evening, every one voting it a most delightful day. Monday Mrs. Ned Stewart, at her beautiful country home on lake Gertie, entertained at tea. A large log fire blazed on the hearth adding a touch of welcome and cheerfulness. Guests were received by Mesdames Stewart and Scarlet. After a, social the girls wrere ushered into the dining room where a delicious salad course was served. Those enjoying the hospitality of Mrs. Stewart besides the members of the chapter were Misses Marguerite Weller and Decker, and Mesdames Soloman and Scarlet. The festivities were brought to a most fitting close with a reception at the Lexington hotel Tuesday evening, in honor of Miss Weller. In this the young ladies broke all their former records for hospitality. The guests were received at the door by Misses Marguerite Blocker, Mabel Eldridge and Eula Botts. At the head of the receiving line was Miss Louise Hulley, who introduced the guests to Miss Weller, the guest of honor, Besides Miss Hulley and Miss Weller in the receiving line were the Patronesses of the Fraternity, Mesdames Soloman, Fisher and Jordan, and Miss Hyde. At the end of the line was a member of the Fraternity who conducted the thirsty ones to the punch bowl which was gracefully presided over by the Misses Elio Harris, Harriet Snyder, Louise Donalson and Mina Bates. In the dining room where ice cream and cake was served, those attending the guests were the following Fraternity Sisters; the Misses Mary Gumm, Alice Steed, Katie Jackson, Delta Haynes, Louise Watts, Mamie Haynes and Ruth Carpenter. The reception hall and parlors were beautifully decorated in pink roses and carnations. The colored lights added a delightful touch to the scheme. In the front parlors Misses Mildred Watts and Margaret Gilliland pinned on favors consisting of small paper hatchets. Beautiful music was rendered throughout Honors Evenly Divided. — Each Team Win By 8 to 4.—Weak Pitching, Costly Errors and Bones Lose Second Game. Continued on page 4 Continued on^page 4 Confinued on page 4 Continued on page 4 Stetson took the first game with Southern in great shape. Falmer went the entire distance for Stetson and was given consistent support by his team mates. Shannon, who twirled for the visitors was hit rather freely, but failed to re- i ceive the. support given to his rival. The second game belonged to the visitors almost from the start. Haskins started the game for the locals. His offerings were met with a warm reception by the Southern sluggers and this coupled with inopportune errors and "boners"' soon placed the game on the I ice for the south Florida lads. Palmer relieved Haskins and after the first inning pitched excellent [ball. The Varsity rallied strong 'in the seventh but it was a forlorn hope and the final score stood 8 to 4 in favor of Southern.
