Get ready for the Make Ups on March 9th. Don't let that condition hang on over summer. Get busy, work hard, and relieve your mind and your record. The basket ball season 'is over, and Guilford will soon be 'turning her at tention to other branches of athlet ics. With the weather man daily doing his utmost to be pleasant out door sports are again in high favor. Already the baseball enthusiasts are ou't in full force and the tennis courts are Scenes of lively 'contests. We need and desire even more in terest in everything along this line. A good brisk walk, a hard game of ball or a fast set of tennis, is an excellent tonic for "blues," grouches, and kin dred ailments. So if you are inclin ed to think that the world uses you badly get out and try a little bit of real hard exercise. It will clear your vision amazingly and you will soon be wondering why you ever thot that you were abused. THINK TT OVER In a sophomore's room the other day, a group of normal, healthy men were discussing tilie 'personality and abi'lty of various other men, who, needless to add, were not present. All unconsciously they showed their ideas and ideals of college life. The name of Doe, a man who stands near the head of his class, was brought up. A big, tanned fellow qui'Ckly said: "Yes, Ihe gets good ■marks, but I don't think he has much to him, he plugs for everything he gets." A chorus of approval showed that tevery one agreed. The talk went on and another man, Roe, became the object of comment. A junior added to the verbal bou quets by saying: "There's a smart fellow for you, he could pull straight A's if he would try." Some asked: "Has he ever got an A?" "Well, no, but he could if he wanted to." We think this typifies the general attitude. The able man doesn't work, he doesn't have to. Only dull and stupid people "grind," and they sihould be, and are, looked down upon. We well remember a truly brilliant member of last year's senior class who was so afraid that some one would catch him studying, and hence he woulu lose his reputation for getting results without effort, that he always had a popular maga zine on 1 his desk. When anyone opened the door, down went Horace or Plato on the floor, and the visitor would find our Phi Beta Kappa man immersed in a story by Oppenheim and would go on his way marveling. We expect persistency and work from the men who try for our teams, and 'pour 'the vials of our 'wrath on the sprinter who will not sprint. But we glorify the student who will not study and very, very often, we are apt to regard the fact that a man doesn't study as prof positive that (lie is a student. Do we not realize that nothing worthy of mention 'can be accomplished without hard, disagree able toil? We ...ould judge by ef forts and resulL-s, not by real or fan cied potentialities. By our present attitude we are encouraging super ficiality in work, confirming loafers in their laziness, and deterring men from study. iCan true scholarship thrive in such an atmosphere, and is not Che foremost purpose of the col lege to turn out scholars?— The Bow uoin Orient. ZATANIAVS DISCUSS THEMSELVES. In the Zatasian Literary Society meeting of March 1, unusual interest was shown by all who were present. The first number on the program was "The History and Origin of the Zatasian Society" by Gertrude Cronk. as the majority of the members knew little a.out this, it proved to be very instructive. Next came the debate. The question for discussion was: "Resolved that more good is derived from Literary Society than from class work." The affirmative was upheld by Vanner Neece; the negative was defended by Elsie Rayle. The judges decided in favor of the affirmative. "Zatasian Ideals" by Vera Mcßane made every iheart thrill, for she showed what it really meant to be a Zatasian. An instru mental solo was rendered in a charm ing manner by Martha Caudle. Last tho by no means the least was a toast to the Zatasian girls by Berenice Pike. The society was very glad to re ceive into membership Carrie Mae Hodgin Marjorie Williams gave a splendid critic's report, after which soc'ety adjourned. THE GUILFORDIAN MRS. WILLIAMS TALKS The Thursday evening l prayer meeting was in charge of the mission committee. This committee and the Y. W. 3. A. as a whole were very fortunate in securing Mrs. J. D. Wil liams to bring a message at this time. She chose missions for her subject, but in h*r eagerness to exhort each girl to develop the best m her, sllie centered 'her talk largely on charac ter building. Mrs. Williams opened her remarks by saying that each one of us has a definite place in the 'world and a def inite service to render. In this crisis there is a greater opportunity for service than ever before. Not only is there a need for workers in Prance but there is a need in every otiher line of work. There are many lives which need a bright toucn. Girls are especially fitted to bring this ray of sunshine. As we know not where our lots may be cast, the thing for us to do is to give our lives to Christ and let him guide our rootsteps wherever Ihe will. We cannot choose for ourselves what would make us happy, because our choices are so far beneath those He would make for us. "Have we square corners?" Mrs. Williams asked. In our training may there be no corners protruding, but may there be a symmetrical wli~le. First we need the all round founda tional training, and then, study along definite lines. This together 'with Ihealth develops the all round char acter. This talk was one of the beet the Y. W. C. A. lias listened to th'.s year. (PROF. BRIXTON, THE MINUTE MAN (Continued from first page) through Canada, Switzerland and Ja- The audience realized at the close of the hour that we did not necessa rily have to leave our own campus to find an interesting and instructive lecturer, although Prof. Brinton had not had any time to prepare for the occasion.
