Dedication To MR. G. E. GILLILAI D this, the 1955 HATTER, is dedicated Stetson ' s director of Alumni Affairs, Mr. G. E. Eddie Gilliland, has one of the hardest jobs the University has to offer; that of maintaining up-to-date records of Stetson ' s graduates, and to keep in contact with all of these alumni so that they will not lose contact or interest in Stetson. Filling the position of Alumni Affairs Director only two years ago, Mr. Gilliland has made unbe- lievable progress with the University alumni relations. As an overall program, Mr. Gilliland has shifted the emphasis on the alumni from the big to the little man, showing equal interest in every graduate, not just those who have found an eminent niche in society. Through this plan, the average alumni is made a part of the Stetson organization, as a participant and a contributor. Through concentrated efforts, lost alumni, whose whereabouts have become unknown, have been re-located, and made an active part of the alumni organization. Homecoming 1954 was Stetson ' s most successful by far, because of the excellent job of publicity and advance work done by the Alumni office. Through the work of the Alumni office, class reunions have attracted more interest and, consequently larger attendance, including bringing bock this year the famous undefeated 1927 football team. Through his efforts, alumni records are now more complete and contain more information than at any time in the history of Stetson ' s alumni relations. Through his great love for Stetson, Mr. Gilliland has influenced many people to contribute to the support and growth of the University through the United Stetson Alumni, and the Proxy Endowment Fund. For these invaluable contributions to Stetson University through his many efforts and accomplish- ments as Director of Alumni Affairs at Stetson University, we gratefully dedicate this, the 1955 HATTER to Mr. G. E. Eddie Gilliland. 13

immii UNIVERSITY Growth has been the keynote at Stetson for the past year, as curriculum and campus expanded to form an even bigger and better Stetson. Campus growth bounded forward with the newly opened men ' s dorms and the women ' s dorms scheduled to be finished by next fall, the library, science building, fine arts building and a new student union building, the last necessitated by the burning of the old commons, are now in the planning stage. The Student Government Association, taking its right- ful place as the governing body of the Stetson students, has in the course of the year, sponsored Homecoming, Hatter Howler, picnics, the Green Feather Community Chest Drive, and elections. Regular Friday meetings with programs directed for the students by students, and work on campus-wide projects welded the student body into even closer union. Student committees got together and did something about such things as the parking problem, improvement of the grounds, and the much- needed Student Union Building. The Women ' s Student Government Association, an old organization on campus, continued its influential work of supervising all women ' s activities, hours, and disciplinary problems when they arose. The newly re- organized Men ' s Council took the corresponding respon- sibility for men ' s actions. . - »• -ft r, « ■ f.,vi, V
