THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME I.
BINGHAM DEFEATED IN
OPENING GAME
Guilford opened the baseball
season on her home grounds Fri
day afternoon when she defeated
the strong team representing
Bingham (Melmne) Sto 3. Short
opened with a two-base hit to left.
Groom sacrificed, Kendall singled,
Futroll doubled, Davis drew a
pass, and two runs were scored in
the first inning. Two more run.- -
were added in the next inning
when a base on balls, two sacri
fices, and Short's two bagger land
ed. Davis scored in the third by
drawing a pass, stealing second,
and third, and scoring on Ken
dall's single. Guilford did not
tally again until the seventh,
when she scored two, and added
another in the eighth.
Bingham did not score until the
sixth when a base on balls, an in
field out, and two hits gave her
two runs. She scored t;,;ain in
the eighth, on two passed bats
men, a hit batter, and a fielder's
choice.
Although the game was rather
long drawn out it was interesting
from start to finish, and the new
players looked well in their posi
tions. Murchison held the visi
tors to four hits, and was never
in danger. He struck out eleven
batsmen, and lielded his position
in good style. Of the ten hits
made Futrell and Short made si v
each taking three. Eck made two
of the four hits by Bingham.
Guilford next plays Elon on
the 24th, and has a game pending
with the University of Vermont
for the 20th, after which she
leaves on a South Carolina trip in
which she plays four games, re
turning for the Easter Monday
game at Greensboro.

Juniors Win Class Championship.
The -Juniors defeated the Fresh
men Friday night in the closest
and fastest game of the class se
ries, thereby winning the class
championship in basket ball. At
the end of the first half the score
stood 11 to 12 in favor of the
Juniors, and although the Fresh
men crowded them closely they
were never in the lead. Short did
particularly bright work for the
Juniors and was responsible for
majority of the scoring. Semans
also played a strong game, and
scored several field goals. Groome
for the Freshmen did the best
work and made the majority of
the points. Morris also played a
close guard and aided in keeping
the Freshmen's score down. The
final score was 20 to 21.
Juniors—Semans, 1. f.; liiddick.

Freshman—Sapp, 1. f.; Miller,

Inter-Class Track Meet, March 29.
The date has been set for the
inter-class track meet, and the
Faculty have decided to give over
the afternoon of March 2!> as a
half holiday for the meet. The
various classes and the prepara
tory department have elected their
captains, and these should use
much forethought in selecting and
placing the different men in the
events. The object is to decide
who will represent the college in
the coming meet with Elon, and
we should use our good material
to the best advantage. With con
stant work from now on, the men
should be in good condition.
Everybody is expected to be out
and help his class carry off the
honors. It is up to the boys to
show their interest in this, and
make it a success. Let's make it
a big day!
DR. HERTY'S LECTURE
On Saturday evening, March 20,
Dr. ('has. H. Herty, president of
the American Chemical Society,
and head of the Department of
Chemistry at the University of
North Carolina, gave a very inter
esting lecture on "Cotton and
Chemistry, The Relation, and
llow Both Are Affected by the
European War." The lecture was
held under the auspices of the
Joseph Moore Science Club, being
the second of the annual public
lectures given by that organiza
tion.
Dr. Herty first showed the rela
tion of chemistry to agriculture;
he then took up the things that
had been accomplished in the cot
ton industry by the application
and development of chemical
methods. Starting with the cot
ton at the gin he followed the lint
and then the seed through the
long chain of technical products
that are obtained from each. The
lint was traced through the un
bleached and bleached cloth, the
use of natural and substantive
dyes and mordant. On treating
the cotton with different reagents
many changes are brought about
and each product has wide tech
nical application. With caust : c
soda mercerized cotton is formed,
with nitric acid different degrees
of nitration are obtained and pro
ducts ranging all the way from
new skin to artificial silk and gun
cotton are made available. Turn
ing to the seed, Dr. Herty then
traced its development and show
ed how the seed once was consid
ered a worthless and undesirable
product, in so much so that the
State of Mississippi passed a law
prohibiting the dumping of cotton
seed into the streams for fear of
point ion. Now, however, the
hulls of the seed are removed and
used for stock feed—the expressed
oil is treated with caustic soda,
purified and used as salad oil and
liquid fat. By the hvdrogenation
of these oils, the hard vegetable
fats are made and by the saponifi
cation of these with caustic soda,
soap and glycerine can be obtain
ed. The latter substance when ni
trated gives nitroglycerine and
dynamite.
The speaker next look up the
question of dyes and why it was
that at the beginning of the Euro
pean struggle there was a tem
porary shortage of dyeing mate
rials in this country. He said
NUMBER 20
JUNIOR-SOPHOMORE DEBATE
The final debate to decide what
class shall hold the debating hon
ors for the year will be held in
Memorial Hall March 27 at 8
o'clock. This debate should be
hotly contested, as both the con
tending teams have won a victory
and are eager for another. The
teams are composed of Ezra
Moore, .J. P. Garner and R. L.
Newlin representing the Sopho
mores, and Fred Morris, T. G.
Perry and A. L. Riddick repre
senting the .1 nniors.
The question for debate is: Re
solved, that the President of tho
Cnited States should be elected
for a term of six years and be in
eligible for re-election. The ques
tion though not new is one which
has been talked of much recently
and the discussion should be an
interesting one.
o'clock
that the fault was not with the
Aineri'-an chemist; not that he
could not make the dye materials,
hut, although the Sherman anti
trust law prevents a large home
corporation from squeezing out a
smaller concern, there is no such
restriction placed upon a foreign
manufacturing concern selling
goods in this country, and when
any attempt to start a dye stuff
industry in this country was made,
the German works flooded the
market with the same dyes at half
the price it took to make them
here, thus pushing the new indus
try to the wall, and no one will
start an industry in which there
is no opportunity to make a liv
ing. Then too there has been a
lot of unnecessary scare about the
dye stuff question as the trade re
ports show that in 1014 there was
only a seven per cent, decrease in
the amount of dye materials im
ported into this country as com
pared with the previous year.
Dr. llerty spoke with great n
thnsiasni over the development of
chemical industries in the near fu
ture, and urged the need of higher
training in methods of research fc
help the development which the
South will surely undergo.
After the lecture, the Science
Club and members of the faculty
held an informal reception for I).\
Herty in New Garden Hall.
Messrs. Roy Millikan and IVr
\ is I Season, of Greensboro, attend
ed the liingham-Guilford baseball
game Friday afternoon.
