Appendices Appendix A Spirit & Traditions Brief History Stetson University was founded in 1883 by Henry Addison DeLand, a New York philanthropist, as DeLand Academy, and is Florida s oldest private college. In 1884, DeLand Hall, Stetson s first academic building, was constructed at a cost of $4,000. Today, DeLand Hall houses the university s Office of the President, and is the oldest building in Florida in continuous use for higher education. However, the beautiful Stetson campus would have never been built without the support of others. Early in the university s history, a sudden cold snap froze the orange crops that Mr. DeLand had guaranteed. This caused a severe financial loss for Mr. DeLand, the university s primary benefactor. However, founding trustee and hat manufacturer John B. Stetson stepped in to save the college from financial ruin. DeLand Academy s name was changed in 1889 to honor his donations. The Stetson hat, an American symbol of progress, hard work, and independence, would become the university s official icon. Since its establishment, Stetson University has been known for its values of service learning and rigorous academics, and has become one of the nation s premier liberal arts institutions. School Colors As Florida s first private university, Stetson has shared a storied history with the state. To honor this heritage, Stetson s official colors are green and white. These are the same colors as the state s official flower, the orange blossom. Cheers Go Green! Fight White! Whenever you hear, Go Green! You must respond, Fight White! This cheer sometimes takes place during athletics contests as well. One side of the stadium will yell, Go Green! The other side will respond, Fight White! This cheer will sometimes go on for several minutes. One Stetson! Similar to Go Green! Fight White!, One Stetson is another great stadium cheer. One Stetson is also a reminder that though Stetson is made of many individuals, it is also a single community that supports one another. One side says, One, and the other responds, Stetson. 16

Alma Mater Dear Alma Mater, Smile Upon Thy Children; Gladly We Greet Thee, Altogether Lovely; Peace Be Within Thy Classic Halls And Temples. Hail, Alma Mater Dear Dear Alma Mater, Tenderly Thy Children Gather And Bring To Thee Gracious Salutations; Comrades, Your Voices Lift Once Again In Chorus, Hail, Alma Mater Dear. Some of Our Traditions Homecoming: An annual tradition at Stetson University, Homecoming is the largest event on campus all year. A time for current students, alumni, and the DeLand community to come together and celebrate the university, Homecoming week features a number of special events and traditions including the Bonfire, Hatter Howl Pep Rally, Airwaves, and, of course, the football game. Senior Week: At the end of every spring semester is Senior Week, an entire week of events dedicated to the celebration of the outgoing class. Special traditions include Torch, the Senior Toast, and the signing of the Book of Seniors. Victory Bell: Donated by the Hollis family, the bell is housed in a tower at the Hollis Wellness Center and only rung at special moments in the year. Emblazoned on the bell is a statement that reads, Victory comes from doing your best. School Ring: The ring is a symbol that binds all Stetson graduates. Students are eligible to purchase a ring after achieving 62 credit hours. Tradition says that if students do not dunk the ring in Holler Fountain the first time they wear it, they will not graduate. For more information on spirit and tradition at Stetson, visit stetson.edu/administration/vibrancy/traditions.php Fight Song Hatters you will win the game, Listen to our cheer, GO HATTERS! Shout the glory of your name, Spread it far and near, YEA HATTERS! Alma mater praise to thee And our teammates true, GO HATTERS! Marching on to victory Let s go Hatters go! 17
