"Stetson: It's a Small World," but Big...
Homecoming activities Feb. 13-16 are all on-campus for the first time in 25
years.
"Stetson — It's a Small World" is the theme Homecoming committee members chose to emphasize the fact.
"Our world is naturally 'small' comprising 80 acres in the heart of DeLand,"
explains special events chairman Fred Driver, '57, "but our dream for this small
Stetson world is 'Big' in academics, sports, entertainment and Homecoming attendance."
In sports, Stetson clashes with powerful Jacksonville Saturday night. The
game and a preliminary high school contest are scheduled in the newly completed Edmunds Center's 4,300-seat gymnasium.
This is the first year intercollegiate basketball games have been played on
campus since the last game in Hulley Gym in 1950.
Emphasis on Stetson's high academic standards and future revolve around
special Homecoming events commemorating the late Dr. William Hugh Mc-
Eniry, former dean of the university, and his strides toward an ever-improving
curriculum at Stetson.
Homecoming committee members express hope "that this small Stetson
world is a big world in the hearts of alumni, and that all alumni will join us in
celebrating a great Homecoming weekend!"
