Harry Sutherland Winters, professor emeritus of history and po-' litical science at Stetson University and the first man to- receive a regular college degree at the University, died Tuesday at Fish Memorial Hospital where he had been a patient for several months. He came to DeLand in 18S8 with- his mother who was dean of women at Stetson until 1892. Professor Winters was graduated from the academy in 1890 and six years later was awarded his bachelor of arts degree. He later studied at University of Chicago, Georgia Peabody College and Vanderbilt University. In 1901 Professor Winters married Mabel Allen, one of the 13 pupils who enrolled in the academy In 1883 in the First Baptist Church —the founding of Stetson University. Thus the Winters knew Stetson from its founding. They observed their golden wedding anniversary in their home across Woodland Boulevard from the campus in 1951. Professor and Mrs. Winters long felt that religious organizations on the campus were the most vital if all student groups. To that end they gave to the University a resi- lence next door to their home which served a's a religious center building until Allen Hall was opened. The library in Allen Hall is a -i't of the Winters family. Mrs. Winters and Dr. Allen Winters, "on of Professor and Mrs. Winters have requested that friends omit flowers and send contributions to the Winters Library. Many books roai Piofessor Winters' personal ibiary will be given to the Allen "-Is 11 li>raiy. Professor Winters had been a member of the Stetson faculty since 1927. He came to DeLand from Jacksonville where for twenty years he had been in the paper business there. His interests, in addition to teaching and the religious life of the campus, included summers spent at Ridgecrest and his golf. The Stetson students honored Professor and Mrs. Winters in 1951 by dedicating the yearbook to them. P a rt of the dedication said: "Professor and Mrs. Winters are part of Stetson. Their influence has been felt through the years in making our University the school of which we are so proud today. To them we dedicate the 1951 Hatter." Professor Winters was born November 13, 1871 in Wellsboro, Pa. He was principal of Melbourne High School from 1869 to 1899. He served at various times during his life as trustee of the De- Land Public Library, vice president of the Florida Historical Association, tiustee and treasurer of tthe Y.M.C.A. in Jacksonville, a member of Phi. Kappa Psi, Pi Gamma Mu, Phi Alpha Theta, Scroll and Key, and -Sigma Delta Pi. He was one of the earliest presidents of the Stetson Alumni Association and continued active in this organization. Survivors, in addition to Mrs. Winters and Allen are two brothers, Dr. Walter P. Winters of San Diego and George P. Winters of Denver.

In the afternoon the visitors will have a chance to tour the campus or attend the Stetson-FSU baseball game. Some of them may spend the night-in dormitories on the campus. The successful contestants will be announced about a week later. They will be chosen both for academic excellence and for promise of becoming campus leaders with real contributions to make to Stetson, i Student, Faculty Representation The proposal for the formation of a Board of Publications, submitted by Sigma Pi Kappa Journalism Fraternity, was approved this week by the administration. The new board, which will be composed of both student and faculty representatives, will be effective in spring elections. In a letter to Carolyn Daniel, Sigma Pi Kappa president, C. Howard Hopkins, Dean of the University said that the experiment would be tried for one year. He further stated that qualifications for applicants for the publication positions should be set up by the Board rather than in advance by the fraternity, as suggested in the proposal. Forming the Board of Publications will be the editors of all the student publications; a representative of the Student Government Association, to be appointed by said Association's president or executive committee; one faculty member from any department of the University and one member of the journalism faculty, both of whom will be appointed by the administration; and the director of the. Stetson News Bureau. The object of the new system is to provide a well-rounded board capable of conducting a thorough check of over-all qualifications of the applicants for specific key publications posts. In the past candidates were approved principally from an academic perspective. The Board will review all applicants for editor and business manager of University publications and shall have authority to waive and , or alter qualifications as it dee^s advisable. It will also serve, a? the luthoiity for recommendation or dismissal of any elected pu!;II'Js- tions officials and for the iilling or any vacated position.
