How interesting it is to observe the festive (lays as they come round in their turn each year, and how appropriate it is that our President annually sets aside one dav oil which to render thanks to the all-kind Providence that lias brought us safely through another year with its trials and tribula tions, its joys and sorrows. Thanksgiving is a particularly American festival; but at few times in our history has there been greater reason for sincere, heart felt gratitude and thanksgiving on the part of the whole American people than today. The war dogs are unchained; the nations of Europe are engaged in a death struggle. What the out come will be, God alone knows. Such a Titanic conflict, the world has never seen, and the future of humanity for generations to cone may be determined by thf' battle? that are being waged today. But our Nation is at peace; at peace with the world. Our land is not being devastated by the terri ble scourge of war; our homes are not being ravaged by invading armies; our loved ones are not falling in battle; we are not being called upon to lay down our own lives as sacrifices on our country's altar. And every true American heart will breathe a prayer of the most devout thanksgiving that we are not involved in this ghastly struggle, but are actually at peace with the world this Thanksgiving season. And there are other reasons for true thanksgiving. We are grate ful for life itself, and the oppor tunity it gives us to serve our fel lowman. We are grateful for health and strength. We are grate ful for Christian homes, and loved ones, and friends without whose inspiration and sympathy life at times would be almost unbearable. We are grateful for the opportuni ties of our College; for teachers who are giving us their best that we may be better; for our fellow student who shares with us "the burden and heat of the day," help ing us to understand humanity and to learn lessons of co-opera tion by which alone the world's work can be done efficiently. Every Guilfordian, undergrad. or alumnus has great cause to en ter most heartily into the spirit of this Thanksgiving day. "CONSERVATION OF COLLEGE PROPERTY." Knock! knock! knock! Why do we knock on our College? We love it—surely we do; yet we can see where we fail to conserve ill I of its resources. Just the mere mention of ii few things will help us to realize what we are doing. When we came back in the Fall iill of the class-room seats were clean, (he College authorities had had them cleaned, bul what good did it do? How many are there now that do not have marks on them? ".John is a fool;" "Tom is the same thing;" "Heavenly trip lets;" "Three pills;" all kinds of pictures; initials cut and then marked with a lead pencil—just such things as these are what we see in every class room. Who cares what you think of John or Tom? Who cares where you sit? Any one would much prefer to have a clean desk, which they could touch without getting their hands blackened. The library books and song books are not treated as they should be. Frequently one can find passages marked that are of no significance to them, possibly they were to the person that mark ed them. Another abuse is the habit of turning down leaves Books should be our best, friends, and how would you like to see your best friends mistreated? There are as many walks on the campus as we really need. Yet there are numerous by-paths. II seems that we get in such a hurry that we do not have time to go around and if we do we cut off the corners. We have practiced the latter so much that there is not a walk that is square at the corner. This detracts much from the ap pearance of the campus. While we are here at Guilford College, lliis is our home, il is our duty to make it as attractive as possible. The things that have been given to this institution were not given for us to abuse. If we do not appreciate them we are not worthy of them. Then, 100, they were not intended solely for us, but for students that will come here in after years. So let's con serve all of the College property. Owing to Thanksgiving recess there wil be no issue of THE GUIL FOIUUAN next week. CALENDAR.
