STETSOIf WSHVEBSSSTT, DELAND, FLORI' .r..Y NOVEMBER if. :^l" NUMBER 3 DRS. RISNER AND TOWNER VISIT THE UNIVERSITY. DR. HULLEY 1_ECTURES. Tuesdav morning Dr.. Huley arose at the apering service and stated j-gen - _baa for fourteen years, that two years previous to Ms coming Mr. Moody had held a series of services in the University Auditorium, being assisted by Dr. Towner. Then after a few remarks of ccniimendation, turned to Dr. Towner, who sat on the platform and asked Iran to sing for us. Dr. Towner arose and after a few reminiscences, announced the hymn he expected to sing- requesting that we lose sjght of the singer but to make sure the theme of his song. It is to be doubted if any. however, did lose sight of the singer, but at the same time the spirit of the song will live in the hearts of many who heard it for years to come- After the song by Dr. Towner, Dr. Hulley arose and told of his long acquaintance with Dr. Risner and then introduced him as being learned in science and philosophy, versed in literature,, well informed in geology* and history, and valued for his ability to tell a negro story calcuiated to drive one into his- terics. In a few minutes after arising to speak, Dr. Risner established himself in the reputation Dr. Hulley gave him. Few speakers have visited Stetson who held the interest of the 'fellows as did TJr. Ri. A few remarks that were heard as we went to our classes after the lecture, will perhaps give a little better idea of how. well Dr. Risner's lecture was appreciated. These remarks are recorded below as they were heard from various ones: "I'm glad I went to chapel this morning." "This hour was not lost." "He's there with the goods." "That was great." "I had rather be able to make a speech like that than be able to win a famous case at law." Thoughts that "we are at war at home," "That we are successes now at the thing we have undertaken." and that "Christ looks for the cross and not the crown," will long be remembered by many of those who heard Drs. Towner and Risner. Mav thev come again. . o COLLEGIATE PROFITS. k party e<_mp>St_d of Dr. and Mrs..

The first Christmas packets for the Stetson boys of last year in the service were mailed on Saturday. These packets went to five of our boys who are now abroad: W. A. Pattishall. Bob Moore, Paul Hon, Russell Rasco, and Norman Blakely. Those for the boys who are in the service in our own country- are being prepared and it is planned to have them ready for mailing by Thanksgiving time. The girls of the Y. TV. C. A. are making scrapbooks for the packets. Anyone having any news clippings, jokes, or snapshots of Stetson life which would be suitable for the scrapbooks will be assisting greatly in the work by handing all such material to Marion Hanne or Mildred Smith. o The time has not been set exactly, but it will probably be before Christmas.

Stetson's military companies are rapidly getting into lighting shape who do not attend "the regular |and do the drills lik<? °ld timers. Dean Holmes, of Penn State College, has figured out what a college education is worth to the average man. Comparing the earnings of the college graduate with the non-college man, he finds that, during the course of the working Period, the returns on that four years' investment are some $20,000. His conclusions are based on a wide range of investigation from which he derived a wage of $518 per year for the non-college worker and $1,187 per year for the college graduate.

Caro—Well, "Finney," I see in lhe papers that all applicants have to show their nerve by climbing UP the side of the Woolworth building. Tuesday, Nov. 6, the Krucible Klub *held its first meeting in Science Hall. This club is composed of students studying chemistry and has for its purpose the investigation of scientific subjects. Mr. Childers was elected president, Eugene Hoffner vice president, Miss Peters secretary, and Arthur Moor program manager. Tuesday, Nov. 13, the Krucible Klub met at 7:30 o'clock and an interesting program was begun. First Miss Ladd gave an interesting talk on the production of cocoa. Miss Klicker was not present but will give her paper next Tuesday Dr. Barrell then gave an address on "Valence," which was for the special benefit of the Freshman class. Mr. Childers closed the program with a vital account of the phosphate industry in Florida. Dr. Barrell gave the critic's report. An especially interesting program has been arranged for the next two weeks and the club promises to be a great success. The program for next week will be as follows: Osmotic Pressure and the theory of solution, by Miss Klicker. Laboratory Romance, Miss Bertha Peters.

These . ^^ty-iive are able at Stetson. The Varsity Club has won fame in the past as a debating society and several of the old landmarks are srill there to uphold the good reputation- doing their bit for Stetson and for the country and are displaying a fine enthusiasm in the military work. Major Lowe and Captain Shallene are proud of Stetson's "Heine" Lofquist, "Snipe" Zeig- foldicrs and the>" ha™ a ri;?ht to ler, "Dug" Roseborough, Floyd Northrop, Linton Pickard, etc. Then there is some splendid new material that will do much to keep the average high. be, they've got the stiektoitiveness and the pep that means success in anything that they attempt and that's why they are making good soldiers. The eighty-five men compose Last Friday night the following I Stetson's battalion and this bat- question was debated: "Resolved that all post office buildings should be erected by the town in which they are located rather than by the Federal Government." with Roseborough and Peterson on the affirmative and Moor and Welsh on the negative side. Tlie judges decided that Uncle Sam's present system was good enough and ^warded the decision to the negative. This week the Varsity Club is going to resolve itself into the United States Senate. Watch out for some radical changes in the order of things. The "senators" have several very original and novel bills to present at this session and a lively time is expected. All college men are cordially invited to attend this and all other Varsitv Club meetings. ' O ENTERTAINED. talion is divided into two companies. Officers and non-commissioned officers for these companies will be selected by Major Lowe and Captain Shallene from the men who make the best showing at drill, the best soldiers will get the best jobs, and every man is working for one of these jobs. Walter Adams and George Barger are acting as temporary captains bo the companies until the permanent appointments are made. There should be a hundred in Stetson's battalion instead of eighty-five. We need a hundred. We have got to have a hundred. You fellows who have not been coming out to drill and have not been exempted come on in and do your bit. O She Did Her Bit. Misses Helen Ake and Ethel Sholtz were delightfully entertained by friends in Palatka over the week-end. First Hen—"Have you done your "bit?" Second Hen—"Well, I should cluck! Ought to see the fine trench I made in the vegetable garden next door." French Method of Picking Soldiers For Special Lines of Work. MA good ijudge of human nature is bom and not made,"* declared Dr. G. Stanley Hall, president of Clark Cnaversiity. ""Baseball scouts are not able to tell how they pick men; neither can any employer tell how he picks his men.** Dr. Hall described the French system of dividing men into-four types and selecting them for particular positions in the army accordingly. He said: "First—The digestive type It is characteristic of the heavy jaw, broad abdominal region. Such men require more food, need it regularly, must be well. fed. Such men are best on the defensive. They are hard to dislodge from the trenches. "Second—The respiratory type. Nostrils and ears are large; large, long chest; demand plenty of pure air: get restive under confinement. Such men are selected for work on high mountains. They are good in the charge, in making an attack. Such men exclusively are selected for the aviation corps, "Third—-The muscular type. Head is square, limbs long and strong, body short. This type is good for the bayonet charge m the artillery service, "Fourth—The nervous type. Large head tapers down to a sharp jaw. Such men hav. gr to draw- upon their reserves. They can get their second wind. The really great are men of this type. Along with this type is closely iated a willingness to sacrifice self for the good of others. "Children and animals are guided by the desire to gain pleasure and avoid pain. As they grow older they should learn to bear present pain for future pleasure."—' Pit t sburgh Gazette-Times. -0 ACADEMY NOTICE. All loyal members of the J. B. S. U.
