Moot Court
Pictured above are the members of
the Stetson Moot Court Team who
represented the law school in Atlanta,
Georgia, at the recent regional contest in the National Moot Court Competition.
Although the team did not take
first place, Miles McDonell presentation was rated "excellent," while
James Wharton's poise under a long,
gruelling question period by one of
the judges was worthy of a veteran
campaigner.
New Program Initiated
During the Fall semester of 1957,
the Stetson Student Bar Association's
Moot Court Committee, made up of
Raymond Rhodes, Wallace Storey
(co-chairmen), James Wharton and
Miles McDonell, initiated a new
and distinctly different program to
Memorial Carillons
Dedication ceremonies are being
planned for the "Carillonic Bells" instrument recently installed in Stetson's
golden tower by Mrs. Ambrose L.
Cram of St. Petersburg, Florida. As
will be attested by a bronze tablet
in the lobby of The Stetson Inn, this
25-bell Schulmerich Coronation Carillon is given in memory of Ambrose L.
Cram, husband of the donor, and William H. Sowden, the donor's brother.
Interestingly enough, Mrs. Cram's
tie with Stetson arises, not from anv
close personal association with the
school, but from an act of its founder.
A good many years ago John B. Stetson established a mission Sunday
School in Philadelphia, Pa., of which
her brother became superintendent,
and this gift is to commemorate Mr.
Stetson's influence upon her brother's
life.
The bells may be played manually
from a keyboard, or they may be automatically set to render any of tliirty-
six different pieces at selected times.
They may be put to various services,
ranging from the tolling of impressive
Sunday concerts to the prosaic duty of
striking the hour. Similar instruments
have been installed at such outstanding schools as the University of Minnesota, the University of Pennsylvania, and Boston University.
Registrar Reports
Mrs. Kay Eddy, Registrar of the College, reports that the students admitted during this semester have received
their pre-legal training in some seventy-three colleges and universities
in twenty-seven states, Hawaii, Puerto
Rico, and Canada. A cosmopolitan
group, eh, what?
