THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME I.
BASEBALL SCHEDULE
Manager J. R. Brown has sub
mitted the following schedule for
the coming baseball season. After
unusual difficulty in arranging
contracts with some of the col
leges heretofore played, he has at
last arranged a schedule that is
highly satisfactory from the
standpoint of games, and also one
that will not bring too many
games too close together. Two
trips are arranged out of the
State, the tirst in South Carolina,
and the second in Virginia. On
these trips we meet Emory and
Henry, and Wotl'ord Colleges for
the first times, and we again meet
the strong I*. S. C. and Virginia
college teams. The usual faster
Monday game with the Cni versify
of North Carolina at Greensboro
will not be played this year on ac
count of failure to come to terms,
but play instead the strong Elon
team. With the opening of the
season a strong team is expected
to be produced, from the men now
hard at work. The schedule is as
follows:
March I!)—Bingham (Mebane)
at Guilford.
March 24—Elon at Guilford.
March 31—Belmont at Bel
mont.
April I—Wotl'ord at Spartan
burg.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 3, 1915.
Y. W. C. A.
V. W. C. A. was conducted
Thursday evening by Gladys
Ilightill. Her subject was "Choos
ing." The subject is not a new
one. but the lender treated it in a
very impressive manner. The les
son was taken from Luke 1 0 :38-
42, Mark 10:171 m.
She told of .Mary's faithfulness
(o Jesus and of her eagerness to
learn all she could from her Mas
ter. Then Ihe young man who
was anxious lo know' what to do
to be saved, and when Christ told
him, he turned away, choosing
ra I her !o retain his wealth and
risk the consequences. We often
criticize him for this, but are we
not often much more guilty of
choosing the lesser of two goods
than this young man was? He
did not mean to be placing his
possessions above the .Master, for
he recognized his divinity and su
periority and ran to him.
She applied the lesson to the
students here. We have so many
opportunities; some much greater
than others of course and it
means very much to us in after
life to make the right choice.
GIRLS' ATHLETICS.
A great deal of interest contin
ues among the girls in playing
basket ball. They have been oc
cupying the gymnasium every
time it is permitted them to have
it. With Evelyn Briggs as cap
tain they have developed a very
efficient team. And it has been
decided to give a public game
next Friday evening, March 5.
At a recent business meeting of
the Association it was decided to
give twenty-five dollars on the Y.
W. C. A. organ.
SOCIAL.
Although a great number of the
student body was away from the
college Saturday night, some with
the ball team, others attending
the banquet in Greensboro, there
remained quite a number who
gathered together at Founders at
7 :•'!) for a social evening. Rook
was the leading game and we were
especially favored with songs
from the boys' quartet. Miss
Rhoades had charge in Miss Os
borne's absence and in Iter -usual
pleasant manner made it possible
for all to have a good time.
Mr. Leroy Miller, of Linwood,
N. C., attended the banquet in
Greensboro Saturday night and
visited at the college.
Y. M. C. A.
Thursday night's V. M. C. A
meeting was given over to a gen
era I discussion of the theme, Per
sonal Religion or What Christian
it v Means to Me.
After the opening song, Harrell
Budd, chairman of the Religious
Meetings Committee, arose and
announced that on account of the
unavoidable absence of the sched
uled leader for the evening, that
he had decided to give up the
meeting to a discussion of "What
Christianity Means to Me." He
then proceeded to open the discus
sion by saying that to be a Chris
tian, to him, meant living right
with one's fellow man. lie said a
Christian was one who was right
with God and his fellow man.
Mr. Budd was followed by sev
eral others who spoke briefly but
forcefully. Much interest was
manifested and each man went
away feeling better. All in all it
was one of the most helpful meet
ings of the year.
ZAT ASIAN NOTES.
There seems to be a prevalent
idea that society spirit naturally
and inevitably lags as its work
goes on, and that the work itself
becomes a task rather than a priv
ilege. However, the Zatasiaus are
glad that this is not necessarily
true.
Our program for Friday even
ing, Feb. 20, was an exceptionally
interesting one. We realize the
difficulty of preventing monotony
and for this reason the evening
was devoted mainly to a musical
romance. Twenty suggestive ques
tions were asked, the answers to
which were the names of popular
songs and instrumental music.
Small prizes were ottered to the
two members whose answers were
most nearly correct. Misses Speas
and Taylor were the successful
ones. After this our prophetess
gave us her warning.
Both these numbers of the pro
gram were well carried out and
showed some degree of originality
and much interest. Although we
are far from satisfied with our
present attainments we are en
couraged and see no reason why
much good work cannot be done,
and this we are expecting.
Richard J. M. Hobbs ('O9), of
Charlotte, attended the Guilford
banquet in Greensboro and spent
Sunday at the College.
NUMBER 17
NEWLIN COMING
The (Jnilfordian lias seen fit to
withhold an announcement of the
election of President Thos. New-
lin, of Whittier College, Califoi
ilia, to the presidency of Guilford
College until the matter had been
entirely settled.
We can now definitely state, ru
mors to the contrary notwith
standing, that President Xewlin
has been elected and has accepted
the position as president of this
institution, and that the protest
made by certain members of the
faculty against his election, has
been waived by them in view of
new developments in the case and
what they considered the best in
terests of the College.
HENRY CLAY NOTES.
In our meeting of February 1!)
the debate seemed to take on a
new aspect, being characterized
by spirit unparalleled in several
weeks. The question resolved that
the pardoning power should be re
moved from the governor of North
Carolina was the one under dis
cussion and suffice it to say the
representatives of both sides gave
orderly, logical and clear-cut ar
guments that held the house in
wonder as to who would win. The
affirmative was upheld by Lam
beth, Lloyd and Holton, while H.
Moore, Geiser and Budd denied
the proposition in support of the
negative. The negative won.
In this debate four men deserve
special mention for the speeches
they gave. These, H. Moore, Geis
er, Lloyd and Holton, by the ex
cellent work they did, show that
they are making rapid strides of
improvement, and a continuation
of such work will in a few weeks
develop into an improvement con
test worth while. A word of en
couragement is due these men and
every effort possible should be
made by all old members to aid
them in their first year's society
work.
The nominating committee
made a report and the following
officers were elected: Brinkley,
president ; Thayer, secretary; IJol
ton, Critic Carroll made
a briei and favorable report and
the society adjourned.
