The Boyd Hearthstone of the Kappa Kappa Gamma Fraternity named in honor of their only living founder, Louise Bennett Boyd. The Boyd Hearthstone is the first of a series to be scattered throughout the country to serve either as a transient or permanent home for Kappas and was located in Winter Park largely through the interest and work of Helen Steinmetz, a member of the Executive Council of the Rollins Alumni Association. The Boyd Hearthstone was formally dedicated on October 13th and formally opened with a large reception on October 16th. THE ROLLINS ALUMNI RECORD for DECEMBER 1938

CLIMAXING a brilliant season with a 6-6 tie against rival Stetson which insured them second place standing in the 1938 Florida state grid race, the Rollins Tars amassed one of their best records this fall since genial Jack McDowall took over the football fortunes here ten years ago. McDowall's lads this season accounted for six victories, one tie and two defeats against a schedule rated as one of the toughest ever attempted by a Rollins gridiron aggregation. They found Stetson to their lik- ing, 18-0, in the first game of the season, and tied the Hatters in the finale. They totaled the most points ever scored by a Rollins team under the direction of McDowall in trimming South Georgia State, S4-0. They trounced Newberry College, 36-0, one of the strongest clubs in SIAA circles this year and they trimmed hapless Tampa University 23-0, in the annual battle with the Spartans. But probably the most brilliant of the victories attained, was that of Ohio Wesleyan, conquerors of the Tars a year ago. The visiting Battling Bishops were outscored 19-13, the final count bare testament to one of the most thrilling games ever staged in Central Florida.

The Perfect Christmas Gift PEACE MEMORIAL

This monument was unveiled by President Holt and General A very 1). Andrews at ceremonies following the Armistice Day Convocation as a memorial to "eternal peace".

A German Shell is mounted on a massive triangular stone pedestal and bears three inscriptions. On one face are the words of Victor Hugo's famous prophecy "A day will come when a cannon will be exhibited in public museums just as an instrument of torture is now, and people will be astonished that such a thing could have been."

On the front is the inscription which you see in the picture.

The third face carries the following inscription: "This shell was surrendered by Germany to the United States at the conclusion of the World War. Our government presented it to Poultney Bigelow. who presented it to Hamilton Holt, who presented it to Rollins College, Armistice Day. November 11. 1938."
