To DR. G. LEIGHTON LAFUZE In appreciation of his penetratins insight and profound understanding of the present- day affairs which enable all those who come in contact with him to develop a sane interpretation of the world in which we live, we, the staff, dedicate the Hatter of 1942.

At a time in which the pattern of our lives is being subjected to con- stant change we seek signs of basic stability. With this in mind the staff presents the 1942 Hatter as evidence that the deep convictions of Ameri- can life remain constant. We have ch -;en as our theme the tower of Elizabeth Hall which, being a repro- duction of Independence Hall, is an appropriate symbol of the liberty and freedom which continue to be Stet- son ' s ideals.

John B. Stetson University includes four colleges. There is an excellent reason for the fact that the College of Liberal Arts is the largest in Stetson ' s quartet, because it offers the student the ultimate goal of every well educated individual, a thinking knowledge in countless fields. Although not aiming to teach all about a subject it opens up the door of our curiosity, and widens our interests so that we will always be eager to find out a little more, it is said that we are as young as our minds, and by training the mind to keep alert the Liberal Arts education becomes a fountain of youth. Stetson, however, encourages specialization. In fact this spirit is evidenced in a new program which even permits a student to study courses in only one particular field. Basically, however, the three other colleges of the University plan to unite specialized with liberal education. The Music School is so excellent that it has attained an enviable reputation throughout the southeast, and the School of Business Administration, though young is filled to capacity. Our graduate Law School is one of the best in the South.
