Gals by students and other local tall
ent. His performance this year was
held earlier than usual in order not
to crowd the purely commencement
affairs at the close. Last Thursday
evening, his program consisted of two
plays, "A Pair of Lunatics," and "A
Happy Pair" with special numbers
by himself and Ira McAlphin. Miss
Mary Conner, director of music, and
her assistants rendered some excel
lent music. The players all did real
well and the entire program was en-
joyed by a large audience.
Adoption of Honor System.
For several years there has been
more or less agitation among the
students for the adoption of the hon
or system at the University. Two
years ago a discussion of the question
for several weeks terminated in a
student meeting to decide the matter.
At that meeting the president and
sveral members of the faculty adj
dressed the students, pointing out
some OF the problems of student self
government and advising the students
to adopt or reject the system as they
pleased. Then the matter was voted
upon and was rejected by a small
majority. Last week the vote to
adopt the system was virtually unan-
imous. By much favor it is safe to
predict great success for the system
that is already in vogue in many of
the large colleges of the country. The
unanimous adoption also indicates a
great change in student sentiment
which is due to change in the per-
sonnet of student leaders.
Alumni Scholarship.
The university is much gratified at
the announcement that the Jackson
vile chapter of the Alumni Associa-
tion,, of which F. A. Hathaway is
president, will award a scholarship to
a university student for the coming
school year. At the Hotel Seminole
this local association held an enthus-
iastic meeting last Friday night and
around the banquet table made ad.
dresses for the stimulating of the 10y.
al college spirit. No doubt but tbs
example of this chapter will be fol
lowed by those in other Florida
cities. 1t is a splendid thing for the
old boys to aid thus some worth!
young man toward an education.
