sheet of the Guilfordian sent him:
"My work for the past eleven years
has been in connection with the Na
tional Association of Audubon Socle
ties. The past seven years I have
been the executive officer. During
this time we have been able to build
up a widely organized institution
throughout the United States; in
fact is the largest organization for
the protection of wild life in the
world. Our income the past fiscal
year which closed yesterday amount
ed to something over $144,000. One
of my duties is to raise this money.
We now have an endowment of over
$400,000, which yields about $20,000
a year.

Mr. Pearson's address is 1974

er alumni follow his example and

are doing.
Samuel H. Hodgin, '95, is with the
firm of Dougan Jenkins & Co., gener
al agents for the United States Fi
delity and Guaranty Company, of
Richmond, Indiana. The following
is an extract from a letter recently
written by him:
"I shall be much interested In
hearing from time to time how Guil
ford progresses, and what the pros
pects are for the making there of tho
kind of institution that we all wish
rllford to be and which she ought
to be. She has had hitherto too ex
cellent a record to be allowed to
one whit behind the other Quaker
colleges, or any other colleges of her
class in any denomination. If ther'„
ever was a time when the Quake
college had a mission and a field it is
now—and after the close of thr
frightful cataclysm now on in th(
world. This war will teach us, as it
has already taught us, (and as some
of us think we knew before, but were
a little too reticent about it) the
fact that the American youth must be
taught first of all the 'humanities'—
I use the term in a broader sense
than the old schoolmen used it—and
secondarily mathematics, Greek, and
German, and all the 'ologies.' Edu
cation must teach us the nelghborli
ness of Ruskin; the how to get along
with your neighbor as suggested by
Addison, the love your neighbor as
commanded by Christ. Education
will have a different viewpoint after
this, and the great problems of edu
cation will be expressed in new terms
to fit the new life that has entered
♦he world of human experience. Or
to put it in another way it shall be
the business of education to adapt or
apply the New Testament ideal to
human life and practice. For really
education has hitherto concerned it
self but little with such idealistic in
tangibilities which as Carlyle pointed
THE GUIL.FORDIAN
out long ago are the only real
things.
"If these things be true it follows
quite naturally that the denomina
tional college, instead of standing
near the brink of oblivion, faces th
full glow of the morning, and her
day of opportunity is only just begin
ning to be at hand. For what other
kind of institution is so thoroughly
equipped in spirit, ideal, and tradi
tion, for this kind of work? And
most of all our Quaker institutions.
Now is our time —not five or ten
years from now."
MR. BERGTHOIjDT SPEAKS
TO Y. M. AND Y. W. C. A.
(Continued from first page)
to hear from them it would be Worth
liile," said Mr. Bergtholdt.
Mr. Bergtholdt was himself for six
months in camp on the Mexican bor
der and he said that one who had
aever been there could not imagine
.vhat the routine of army life meant,
he blowing of the bugle drill, eating,
sleeping, all over and over. "The
aonotony is sometimes almost un
bearable, and the lonliness is terri
.e," said the speaker, "and it is here
here the secretary helps the men.
iany times I have been awakened at
.ght just for a conversation with
jme poor lonely boy, and oh how it
.ielped him."
The Y. W. C. A. is just beginning
finding its work in the war. It pro
/ides reception rooms where the boys
may see their friends. It is now be
ginning to take care of the Red Cross
nurse, for she is exposed to many
dangers.
At the close of the talk Mr. Berg
tholdt told the members of the Asso
ciations to think and decide how
much they would give toward the
'lundred thousand dollars which tlv.i
Southern colleges are to raise to help
he work of the Y. M. and Y. W.
Secretaries and by so doing help
friends and brothers.
After the close of tne meeting ten
boys and eight girls canvassed for
subscription and three hundred and
twenty-five ($325) was pledged.
The Guilford Associations are
much interested in the work and
were glad of the opportunity of heal
ing Mr. Bergtholat.
