ALUMNI NOTES.
Mr. H. Sinclair Williams, '95,
is a member of the present North
Carolina legislature. Mr. and
Mrs. Williams have recently visit
ed their brother. Dr. •!. i>. Wil
liams, who is now located at Guil
ford Station. Many Guilfordians
will remember Mrs. J. l>. Wil
liams as Miss Annie Edgerton,
also a former Guilford student.
Mr. E. G. Shore, 'l4, left Guil
ford last Saturday for Hot
Springs, Ark., where he joins the
Boston Red Socks. ''Legs," as he
is familiarly known to so many
Guilfordians. said he was in good
condition and expects to have a
good season with the major
leaguers. Shore has been a very
valuable man here assisting in the
basket ball activities and since
the opening of spring has had
charge of the base ball prospec
tives. He is confident that Guil
ford has some likely young play
ers and he felt sure that the (Jnil
ford team would be a creditable
one. The entile student body and
faculty are sorry to lose the serv
ices of Shore. They wish him a
splendid season.
Mr. J. Wade Barber, 'l4, who
since graduation lias been travel
ing for Vick Chemical Co., is now
registered in the law school at the
University of North Carolina.
The other Alumni who are study
ing at Carolina are Mr. Charles F.
Benbow, 'l4. and Mr. George W.
Bradshaw, 'OB. These with Coach
'•Chick'' Doak, and other former
Guilford students who are now at
Carolina, compose a real Guilford
representation at the state insti
tution.
OLD STUDENTS NOTES,
Mr. Ernest L. Perkins, who was
a student here in 15)08-10, has been
farm demonstrator for Henderson
county for the past year. Due to
a lack of revenue the county com
missioners this spring decided to
abolish the position of farm dem
onstrator, but when this became
known a private subscription was
taken which resulted in the reten
tion of Mr. Perkins. The reason
given for this unusual action was
that Mr. Perkins was too valuable
to lose.
The GUILFOUDIAN is somewhat
late in noting the marriage of
Miss Christina Marshall, of High
Point, to Mr. C. B. Clegg, of
Greensboro, which was solemn
ized during the holidays. Miss
Marshall was a student here dur
ing the year 1912-13. Mr. and
Mrs. Clegg are now residing in
Greensboro.
HENRY CLAY NOTES
Society on March sth was on
the whole just an average meet
ing-. The debate. Resolved, that
the honor system should prevail
in all examinations at Guilford
College, was one whose subject is
brought home to each man and for
this reason to say nothing of the
superb manner,, in which il was
discussed it was exceedingly in
teresting. The allirmative, repre
sented by Bulla, Lloy and Zach
ary, presented their proposition
showing that the honor system is
adaptable to the conditions at
Guilford and that judging from
the experience of other colleges
which have the proposed system
we could well use the method
here. The negative supported by
Stanley, (Reiser, and A. Moore,
contended that the large propor
tion of preps here who are unable
to support a scheme of the pro
posed kind would prevent the suc
cessful working of such a system.
Various pasi incidents were cited
as illustrative of the probable re
sult of the honor system pro and
con, The house and judges decid
ed in favor of the attirmative.
Since last mentioning the im
provement contest in these col
umns one more man has entered
very enthusiastically and is show
ing up well. 11. Zachary came out
in this debate with a speech that
deserves credit. The other new
men who were on the program
showed good work and a consider
able advance in speech construc
tion and delivery. The improve
ment list now includes 11. Moore,
Lloyd, (leiser, Zachary, Holton
and Jones.
As visitors we were glad to
have Messrs. Welch, Bedding,
Ilicks, Strayhorn and Raper.
Strayhorn, Hicks and Murehison
were received into membership.
Plans were completed and the pro
gram submitted for the Clay Za
tasian reception next meeting.
LITERARY CLUB
An interesting meeting of the
Literary Club was held Wednes
day evening, March 3, when the
club continued its study of the
Odyssey.
Mrs. Meredith gave an account
of Ulysses' departure from the
isle of Calypso as found in the
fifth book; after which she read
an entertaining portion from
Phillip's "Odyssey," a drama,
which gave in modern dialogue
the conversation between Calypso
and Ulysses in regard to his de
parture.
Mrs. Davis then took the sixth
book, in which Nausicaa, daugh
ter of Alcinous, is directed by
Pallas to go to the river to wash
her marriage robes. After this is
done, the maidens enjoy them
selves in sports until Ulysses, who
has been shipwrecked upon the
shore, is awakened by the noise,
and appears to them. Thereupon
he is bidden by Nausicaa to fol
low her into the city, there to
speak with the king and queen,
her parents.
President Hobbs then told of
Homeric festivals, using as il Ins-
THE GUILFORDIAN
(ration the festival given to Ulys
ses by the Bhaeacians. In de
scribing this least, he emphasized
particularly its beauty and ele
gance. as well as its simplicity.
Miss Julia White concluded the
program with a short paper on
Homeric cruelty. She gave a
somewhat, detailed account of the
adventures of I'lysses and his
companions in the cave of Polyph
emus, and of their escape, after
lirst pul ting out the eyes of the
('yclops.

ralize his efforts on tlu* tilings
that pertain fo that profession.
The speaker confessed that il
ing I'roui the first chapter of I >an
iel, third to twenty-fonrlh verses.
The burden of his talk was upon
llie formation of an ideal and its
intliHMice upon one's course in life,

ideal to drift-wood upon a great
stream ever seeking lower depths,
lie continued by saying that all
the men of history who have great
ly influenced the world have been
permeated by one supreme pur
pose whether that purpose was to
discover like Columbus, to con
quer like Alexander, or to give
life like Christ. Every one. he
contended, that would become ef
often seemed that abstract ideas
and concrete actions were not re
lated because some ideas, to us.
do not appear to be practical. But
he said that things are, although
we are not able to see them in
concrete shape. To prove this he
referred to the great silent forces
of nature—gravitation, electric
ity, love, etc.
ile closed by saying that if we
were drifting without a definite
ideal our life would be a failure,
but if we have a definite purpose
and adhere to it we will make a
success of life.
While the attendance was small
yet the meeting was a success, for
Prof. Woosley made a splendid
talk.
