THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME IV. GUILFORD LOSES TO DAVIDSON Presbyterians Defeat Quakers 37 to 24 in Hotly Contested Game. On the night of February 1, the Guilford basket ball team was de feated by t'he Davidson quint on the Davidson's floor by a score of 37 to 24. The Davidson team took the lead early in the game and kept it until the last whistle blew, although at times the Guilford team showed a real fighting spirit and threatened to push ahead of the Presbyterians. The playing of Jones, for Guilford, was one of the most noticeable fea tures of the game. He, though well guarded by his opponents, succeeded in sending three field goals into the basket from long range. Jones, as in all former games, clearly outclass ed his opponents in shooting foul goals. Out of nine trials he made six good, while Davidson pocketed only three out of ten firee trials. For Davidson, King and Henge weld played the best game. They together scored 31 of the 37 points made by Davidson. The Guilford team at times did some real team work, showed excel lent fighting spirit, and did some good passing, but this was not done consistently. There iwere times dur ing the game when the players al lowed their pep to subside, and to this the loss of the game may be greatly attributed. Guilford. Davidson. Waleer R F ... .

The second meeting for the year of the Piedmont Home Economics Association was held at Guilford Col lege on Saturday afternoon with Miss Ntoles, of the Home Economics De- partment, as hostess. Altho the weather interfered somewhat with the attendance, there of schools and colleges in this sec were representatives 'from a number tion. An interested discussion on "The Place of Home Economics in the Schools" was led by Miss Gilman of the Greensboro Norimal, The next meeting of this association will be held in March at Salem College. MRS. HACKNEY SUFFERS INJURY Mrs. Priscilla Hackney, of Greens boro, a sister of Miss Benibow. and a former matron of this institution, has recently suffered savere injury to her hip in consequence of a fall. Mrs. Hackney has many friends among Guilfordians, all of whom wish for her a speedy recovery. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N BIOLOGY LABORATORY INCORPORATED WITH THE MUSEUM Domestic Science Department to Oc- eupy New Quarters, A plan has been worked out in de tail to incorporate the Biology Lab oratory w'tih the Museum, in the be lief that such an incorporation will be for the best interests of not only both the Museuim and Biology De partment but will be of advantage to other departments of Guilford Col lege. This plan has been indorsed by the faculty and by the executive committee of the trustees. The rea sons far the change are as follows: 1. It will make for the better care and usefulness of the Museum without in any way interfering with the usefulness and its original pur pose. 2. It will make possible much bet ter facilities and better work in the Biology Department, and make pos sible the growth and larger useful ness of this department, now limited and hindered by its present situa tion. 3. It will make available for the use of another department the space now occupied by the Biological Lab oratory. 4. That the incorporation of the Museum and Biology Laboratory can be accommodated without asking either the college or the Board of Trustees for any money or making them liable to any expenditures. To take these points up in order, the proposed change can be only of benefit to the Museum because it will result in much better care for all of (Continued on fourth pag s) EE II" Former Biological Laboratory to Be come Domestic Science Laboratory PROP. BALDERSTON TALKS TO Y. M. C. A. The last meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was addressed by Prof. Balderston on the subject of "making excuses." He began by declaring that the best part of the meeting, that devoted to prayer, had already taken place. In the prayer service where many take part and wfliere the responsibility is not thrown on a single person, true worship is expressed. The speaker showed the futility of making ex cuses when asked to lead a meeting. C., FEBRUARY 6. 1918 LECTURE ON NATIONAL PROHIBITION Dr. Madison Siwadener, of India napolis, representing the Anti-Saloon League of America in its campaign for National prohibition, spoke at trie church here Sunday afternoon, Feb. 3rd. He sketched most graphically the methods employed in the modern crusade against the legalized liquor system, a traffic which has become an American institution. Mr. Swadener did not discuss the question of temperance in the old fashioned way, but he spoke more particularly of the various temper ance organizations which have ex isted since tlhe Civil War, and of the very effective work which they have done in the matter of arousing sen timent against the liquor traffic. "The time has now come," said Dr. Swadener, "to cryst'alize this senti ment into action, and to mobilize the forces of the anti-saloon movement." The speaker showed very concise ly, by definite exannples, how tlie iiquor interests have exerted a most powerful influence in political ma nipulations in various parts of our country. In many eases, elections are absolutely under the control of the liquor trust. He sipoke particu larly of the liquor lobbying which has recently taken place in the city of Washington. Mr. Swadener told his hearers of the present status of the amendment in its ratification by States; showing that this is the crucial time in the warfare against alcoholism, and pointing out the necessity for imme diate action on the question. The speaker impressed his audi ence as much by his earnestness, as by the content of his message, and one was certainly fortunate to have been among his hearers. AIAIA CHILTON LEADS Y. W. C. A. On Thursday evening the Y. W. C. A. was in charge of the Mission Study Committee Alma Chilton talked to the Association on "Our Life's Purpo'se." She chose as her Scripture reading John 3:13-22. Miss Chilton commenced her talk by saying that God's purpose in the world was Christianity and that He must work thru individuals in order to attain that purpose. His plan must fail if we fail to help; He is depending on us. ALBERT PEELE DIES AT HIS HOME Minister Long' Known and Well Be- loved by Guilford Students Passes Away On Thursday morning, January 81st, Albert Peele passed away quiet- ly in his home after a brief illness He was in his eightieth year The death of Albert Peele brought real sorrow to Guilford College. His long connection with the Friends' re- ligious meeting, at this place, where most of his li'fe as a minister of the Gosipel was spent, brought hini into sympathy with all Guilford and his cheerful, happy spirit and his genuineness and nobility of charac ter made him a valued part of Guil ford. He was one time a teacher in the school before iit became a col lege; and in him Guilford ever had a faithful and valiant friend. Many students attended his funer al, held February Ist; and but for the extremely unfavorable weather, many more from near by towns and from the country around would have ?hown by their presence their warm appreciation of the life and charac ter of so excellent a man. His funeral was held on Tuesday afternoon in the Yearly Meeting House owned partly by the Yearly Meeting and partly by New Garden Monthly Meeting, in both of which Meetings Albert Peele had been a leader for nearly half a centurv. A brief account of his li'fe, prepar ed by Professor J F. Davis, was read by the pasitor, J. Edgar Williams, who made principal address. Dr. Sylvester Newlin, of Hign Point, read a very appropriate selection from the Bible and offered a prayer. A rep resentative from Kernersville Month ly Meeting, of which Albert Peele bad been pastor for the past two years, gave an appreciative testimony of his service among Friends in that Meeting. Lev,-is W. McFarland, of High Point, bore witness to the en couragement and help he had re ceived from his association with Al beit Peele. Roxie Dixon White and L. L. Hobbs, Dow members of New f T ai den Monthly Meeting, spoke; Roxie D. White reading a poem writ ten by her on the event of Albert. Peele's seventy-eighth birthday, and completed uipon his data. L. L. Hobbs stated that he had long been an intimate friend of the deceased, and that lie regarded his life as a great sermon, which in no possible way could be contradicted. Alt ho we might misinterpret and nisunderstand words, there was no way of being deceived and misled by the upright, genuine, and devoited life which Albert Peele has lived be fore ail the peoiple among whom his lot had been cast. In all the exer cises there was manifested a pro found resipect and esteem for the dis tinguished friend who in a long and useful life won the admiration and love of all who knew him. NUMBER 16
