Mothers and fathers and other visitors were arriving on the campus today to view the commencement events and observe the growth of the institution in unity of spirit, scholastic rating and material equipment. *Dr. Irving C. Stover and his Stetson Players will open the calendar tonight at 8 o'clock in the Little Theatre when Shakespear's famous drama is expected to delight a packed house. A second performance of this spectacle, in which Carl Weeks and Louise Royall are starred, with Malcolm Day as MacDuff, will be given Saturday night.

"I recognized in the editorship a wonderful opportunity- to actively participate in building an even greater Stetson," said the newly appointed editor when interviewed "I shall devote my office of editor to the accomplishment of that aim," he, continued. Harry Gaylord, who . is editing his last Stetson Reporter with this issue, expressed his belief that Kenyon is a capable man for the position and should be very instrumental in the advancement of the university. The new editor has taken an active part in building a wonderful school spirit on our campus. His leadership in dramatic, debating, fraternal, and band organizations has1 been of the highest type. , In 1929 he was president of the Student Body and president of Theta Alpha Phi, national dramatic fraternity. The year before he revived the Alpha Phi Epsilon fraternity, a debating organization. He has also held exalted offices in Pi Kappa Phi, national social fraternity; Sigma Nu Phi, national legal fraternity; the Mystic Krewe, Stetson's honorary leadership fraternity; and Kappa Kappa Psi, national band fraternity. Under his careful management, the Stetson University band of the past year has reached the peak of its career. Students, faculty members, alumni, and friends throughout the state have highly complimented him upon his able management of that organization. The students and faculty feel that Kenyon should produce an even greater Stetson Reporter during the coming year. Although he has not announced his complete staff, he will probably utilize the present members as a nucleus. The student publication has been operating under the recognized handicap of inexperience during the past year. This handicap should have been reduced by the time Kenyon takes the reins. The university can look forward to a newspaper for the coming year which will help mould' student opinion and student character. WEEKS, ROYALL TO HAVE LEAD ROLES IN CLASSICAL PLAY HARRY GAYLORD Macbeth Last Offering of Little Theatre This Year /■ , CLASSICAL TRAGEDY Harry Gaylord, who is finishing the present year as managing editor of this paper with this issue. Shakespearean Work Is Annual Event at * Commencement '36 Yearbook Was Distributed Last Week to Students Russell Brown Sends Letter About Bridge H. Russell Brown, class of '32, recently sent a letter to the editor of THE STETSON REPORTER, complimenting the university and telling some interesting _ facts about the great Golden Gate Bridge construction at San Francisco, where he is accountant for the. construction company, J. A. Roebling's Sons, Russell is the brother of George Brown, junior at Stetson, Lu V. L. Brown, Jr., who graduates from the law college this year, and brother of Mary Brown, student in the colleg'e of liberal arts. Another brother, Williaih, graduated in 1931 and is now chemist for the United States Steel Corporation in Pittsburgh. . It is interesting to note that all five of these members of ths Brown family attended Stetson University and that those who have graduated are making names for themselves. All four of the boys are members of Delta., Mu (Stetson) chapter of Sigma Nu fraternity, 'v' Phillips Complimented On Work In Art Department The 1935-36 "Hatter," Stetson's yearbook created its usual excitement among the students last week when they were distributed. It also provoked the usual amount of complimentary remarks and criticism. The publication date was set for some time back, but due to the fact that some of the material for the annual was not ready by the publication date, distribution could not be made until last Tuesday, when 100 of the "Hatters" were received by J. Neal Faircloth, business manager. More of the copies were received, and. distributed on Wednesday. Dorothy. Haines, editor, and her staff have accomplished a noble enterprise, and considering the handicaps they had, the annual has been declared as a success. It is certainly the best yearbook Stetson has had for many years, even though, the present one is not perfect. Bob Phillips, art editor, stole the show., with his outstanding work in drawing many of the campus buildings for use on the section sheets of the publication. These drawings were printed in green colors upon a cream-tinted background. Much of the attractiveness of the book may be accredited to this talented artist. Another imnrovement in the book over former issues is the cover of green and silver. The book is dedicated to Dr. Charles Farriss, who has been so instrumental in achieving the aims and ideals of our university. "We, the staff of the 1936 'Hatter,' " reads the dedication, "defli- cate this volume to our true friend, Dr. Charles S. Farriss, a teacher of distinction, a scholar of high rank, who has contributed greatly to the growth of the school and who has endeared himself to his students forever." Following this is a greeting from President Allen and a preface to the Law School, section which honors Lewis H. Tribble, Dean of the Law School. Dean Charles Smith is honored in the Section devoted to the college of * Liberal Arts.

Louise Royall, candidate for the Master's Degree in Public Speech, who has performed in over 20 plays at the lAtile Theatre, will play the role of Lady Macbeth. Carl Weeks, renown actor of tha Stetson stage will interpret Macbeth. Both of these popular players have turned in outstanding performances during tlte past, and it is thought that "Macbeth" offers them the opportunity to display their talents in the best manner. The "Shakesperian play to be presented tonight and tomorrow night is a continuation of a policy followed for many years by Dr. Stover, director. At the end of each year, at commencement, he has given the Stetson audience the opportunity to enjoy outstanding plays written by William Shakes- pear. The Commencement play is always anticipated with the greatest of interest. The reserved seats go on sate Friday afternoon. The doors will be closed promptly at eight o'clock so that there ' will not be the usual disturbance of the people coming in after the curtain rises.

"Watchman Exami ner'' I Carries President's | Story j j "A college is an institution of j higher learning that offers op- ; portunity for the development of | powers and talents of students for ] the discovery of truth," says Dr. ! W. S. Allen in an article appearing j in the "May 7th edition of the ; "Watchman-Examiner," a nation wide Baptist paper. In the article Dr. Allen set forth the ideals of a Christian College and incidentally woven into these ideals were the aims and ideals of Stetson. "A Christian College," he continued, "offers courses in the various fields of knowledge ns do other colleges. It- develops respect for truth wherever truth may be found with the realization that all truth comes from Him who is Truth and whose Son said, 'Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you i'ree.'" Dr. Allen listed four vital things that a Christian College should do for the students. "It "should develop in each; a citizenship conscience. It: should develop respect and appreciation for the home. It should help each student find and prepare for the particular work that he or she by ability, aptitude, and character ii fitted to do—with, the philosophy lihai each was bom into the world | to do a special work. It should develop appreciation of the beautiful in life."
