The campus visit would do it for them, and then they would sell others. Some of the finest students Stetson has had were from Palatka. There were professors I could relate to, who heard what I was saying and who really talked to me. I still can't believe how much individual time they gave me when the school was so crowded. He taught me how to dress, how to sit and stand before a congregation, how to talk to people without seeming above or beneath them.
Little things are important to Pelham.
Dr. Stover said I shouldn't try to lose it, but that I needed to do something with it, accentuate it. He stayed after class and showed me how an old Shakespearean actor could project his voice across Woodland Boulevard to where you could just feel it bounce off Flagler Hall. I was so embarrassed the first time he put his arms around my waist to help me use my diaphragm. But in a few minutes I could feel something. That's what I got at Stetson.
