See "A Girl in a Thousand" Next Saturday Evening THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME IV. MARY E. CARTLAND DIES AT HER HOME PIONEER IN TEMPERANCE MOVE MENT AND LIFE-LONG FRIEND AND SUPPORTER OF GUILFORD COLLEGE REMOVED BY DEATH When it was announced that Mary E. Cartland, wife of J. E. Cartland and sister of J. Elwood Cox, president of the Board of Trustees, died at her home in Greensboro at 6:10 last Sat urday morning, all Guilfordians felt that the college had suffered a great loss. Pneumonia was the cause of her death. The funeral was held at 3 o'clock Sunday afternoon in Ash boro Street Friends church, Rev. J. Edgar Williams, of Guilford College, conducting the services. Interment took place place at the cemetary at Guilford College. At the request of the Guilfordian Mary M. Hobbs, a life-long friend of the deceased, has written the following account of her life: Mary E. Cartland. The life of our dear friend, Mary E. Cartland, was so full of so many and such varied interests that in any way adequately to convey it to those Wiho did not know her, would require much more space and time than can be allotted to this sketch. New Garden Boarding School and its successor, (Guilford College, were always very near her heart. As a little girl she entered school at this institution. For several years her father, "Uncle Jonathan" Cox, and her mother, "Aunt Lizzie," of blessed memory, were in charge of the Boarding School, and during all of this time she was a pupil. In those days the boys and girls were in sep arate schools. The girls' school was taught by Priscilla B. Hackney and Mary E. Harris, who also had charge of the girls outside of school. The boys' school was in charge of my fa ther, Dr. Nereus Mendenhall. Thus Mary Cartland and I were thrown together as small girls and the at tachment thus formed has never been broken. Just prior to the close of the Civil War Jonathan E. Cox re signed the position of Superintendent and returned to his former home in Perquimans county; but very soon after the surrender he was recalled and again took charge of the school, and Mary was once more a student, remaining here until the course was completed. She was a girl of good ability and applied herself with zeal and earnest ness to her tasks. Conscientious alike in her work and the use made of her hours of leisure, full of activ ity, bouyant in health and high spir its, she did not allow her enthusiasm to overleap the bounds of rectitude but kept her place always on the side of good order in obedience to regula (Continued on fourth page) Get Your Tickets Early For the Y. W. C. A: Play GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., NOVEMBER 21, 1917 ZATASIAN -- WEBSTERIAN Annual Reception Proves to Be a Brilliant Affair. "It's Friday! It's Friday!" Theso words sounded ceaselessly in the ears of a member of the Quaker lasses the whole live long day last Friday. Even the most demure who tried to act as if nothing unusual was in the air couldn't banish the pleasing smiles or repress the bubbling spirits—yee, it was Friday and in truth a long to be remembered one—not just an or dinary Friday that marks the end of a strenuous week. But why was it so unusual? Why because this is what happened. Just at the stroke of seven a most excited and exuberant crowd of girls found themselves ready to depart on a wonderfully happy quest. Soon the Websterian marshal appeared and the Zatasian girls (for they were the favored ones) were presented with favors in the shape of the Zatasian pin and tied with the turquoise blue of the Zatasian colors. These con tained a program and menu and on the back of each was a number by which partners were to be found la ter. The marshal then directed the girls to the handsome Websterian So ciety Hall and here at the end of the journey awaited a most bountiful re ward. Just at this time when the heart of every American is beating with anxi ety for the future, with fear for the results of the terrific struggle now be ing waged. 'Twas very fitting that the Websterians should present to (Continued on third page) THE FOURTH DIMENSION AT THE SCIENCE CLUIt Excursion Taken Thru the Bealnis of Hyper-space. Last Wednesday night at the Science Club Prof. Brinton gave a talk on the "Fourth Dimension." He began the discussion with a compari son of the geometry of three dimen sions with the geometry of two and then, reasoning by analogy, he show ed how a four dimensional geometry can be constructed. Some of the properties of hyper-space were illus trated by drawing on the board a pic ture of the projection in three dimen sions of a four-dimensional cube oZ 24 faces. By showing what a three dimensional being could do in a world inhabited by two dimensional beings he illustrated the fact that a four dimensional being Jn our worl ri . could get into closed rooms, turn a right shoe into a left and do many other mysterious things. It was brought out how the fourth dimension could be used to explain gravity, ether vibrations and other unsolved scientific problems, and that it had been used by spiritualists and clairvoyants, to explain the phenom ena of mental telepathy.

All these and sev eral more will be on the boards bent on giving you a pleasant evening. So right away, see the ticket agent, Addie Morris, and get your passport, then go to Mem. Hall Saturday even ing taking "The Girl in a Thousand" with you. STRANGE SIGHTS AT MEMORIAL. Extempore Program Uncovers Much Latent Talent. On Saturday night all in Guilford who were socially inclined enjoyed in Memorial Hall a panoramic view of things wonderful to behold. The first part of the evening was given over to charades. Words were acted in syllables by groups. "Rose mary" was the word chosen by one group. The dramaticising of "rose" was prosaic, but that of "Max*y" made up for it in vividness and romance. Prepared for the shock by a solo, "I Love You Truly," the audience was not surprised to see a stately bridal party advance slowly up the aisle to the strain of Lohengrin's Wedding March. An unusual ceremony was solemnized with fitting dignity. In due time Rev. Joseph G. Reddick pronounced Jeremiah Obadiah Heze kiah Nimbletoe and Mandy Lee "man and woman." The next charade was medieval in character. Two helmeted knights mounted on strange "cantering" steeds entered the lists. Never were (Continued on fourth page) SUCCESSFUL FOOTBALL. SEASON CLOSES College Has Every Reason to Be Proud of Its Representatives 011 the Gridiron. The cancelation of the game sched uled with Emory and Henry has brought the college football season to a somewhat premature close. Con sidering the fact that this i 6 Guil ford's first year of intercollegiate football and that the team met the best and most experienced teams 111 the state and held them all to small scores, Coach Doak and his charges are to be congratulated on the splen did showing made. The success of a season is not to be judged by the number of games won but by the spir it shown by the college and the fel lows who represent it. It is doubt ful whether any college in the coun try could boast of the fact that a third of its men turned out for prac tice and yet Guilford often had more than that in uniform on the field. Three full teams could generally be seen running thru signals. This spir it and the success of the season gen erally is largely to be attributed to the untiring efforts of Coach Doak, whose work it would be hard to over praise. Even the girls, most of whom had not seen enough football to un derstand the game, twice marched out on the field to cheer the men at practice, and more girls saw the Presbyterian game in Greensboro than had ever journeyed at one time to town to see a college match. Eleven men will be awarded let ters. Capt. Newlin is conceded to be the best line bucker in the state and went thru the opponents line almost at will. He lias been picked by the two leading officials in the state as the all-star full back. Guilford's line could always be depended upon to hold in emergencies as well as at most other times. At the centre was Fort, the mainstay of Guilford's de fence. Fort repeatedly would break through and tackle the runner for a loss. Zachary and Babb as guards could stop anything that came their way, Zachary particularly being an insurmountable obstable. Walser and Henley as tackles played a consistent game. Walser was strong on the de fense and did some good work in re ceiving forward passes. He did all the punting averaging about 45 yds. (Continued on second page) NUMBER 10
