Three students, Ruth Orum, Hugh Latimer, and Harmon, Har- jper, spoke on hat styles of the 1 "past, present, and frjture respect- I ively, integrating their remarks j with university history. "To be a great university," Dr. [ Allen remarked, "the, school must have a great ideal and purpose, a great .program* 'a7great ;guiding body, a great faculty, a great student, body, great, .equipment, a great output (alumni), and great support." He traced these necessary requisites to Stetson,, stating that we possess them. all. Miss Orum, Latimer, and Harper spoke briefly and interestingly. Harper told the group that the hats of tomorrow must have a wide brim so that we will have to look up and build for a practical democratic citizenship.
