his new home in DeLand. He was
trained in the Boston School of Tech

He has also designed and prepared
specifications for a number of the
homes recently built in DeLand by

Prof. Cotton perhaps has done more
to simplify and beautify the architec-
ture of DeLand than any other half
dozen men in the Athens of Florida"
His work in mechanical drawing and
shop work brings him into close per-
sonal touch with all the boys who
come to Stetson for mechanic arts

There is always sorrow in death;

spirit winged its flight to God, who
gave it, at o'clock Tuesday after

shore, where pillows never break and

And many heaved the throbbing sigh
and shed the bitter tear:
Low in the silent depths she sleeps,

Gentlemen
| hereby tender to you my resigna-

1t is the province and the duty of a
