THE GUILFORDIAN
VOLUME IV.
QUAKERS WIN OPENER
Rutherford Easily Defeated in Prac-
tice Game.
Guilford opened her baseball sea
son last Thursday when she defeated
liuthenford College by the score 9 to
0. The game, while one-sided and
void of spectacular plays, proved to
the Guilford supporters that another
real team is being made this spring.
The Quakers began scoring in the
initial inning when A. Newlin was
safe on an error, Zachary walked and
C. Newlin and Reddick hit safely,
thereby scoring two runs. They
scored one again in the third, two in
.iie fifth and three in the eighth. The
Guilford boys also played errorless
ball and made a goou showing as a
fast fielding team. In base running
they showed up well, making a total
of five stolen bases. The visitors
seemed to lack experience and confi
dence.
Capt. Zachary, who was on the
mound for Guilford, was in mid sea
son form and allowed one hit, walk
ed none, and struck out fourteen
men. He also secured three hits out
of four times uip one being for three
bases. C. Newlin, a freshman of
much athletic aoility, hit safely three
times besides playing a nice game at
first base. Johnson also fieluca per
fectly and secured a two-base hit.
Fitzgerald and Hubbard were put in
as substitutes at left field and second
base in the seventh inning, while
Kendall relieved Zachary in the
eighth.
With two weeks hard practice and
with a game with Lenoir here the
27th the team will be in good shape
to play Carolina the 29th and Trinity
on Easter Monday. Both these
games will be played at Winston-
Salem.

GULLFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 20, 1918
DR. WARD ON "THE
SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY"
Most Instructive and Inspiring Lec
ture of the Year Heard in
Memorial Hail
On Monday of last week Dr. Harry
Ward, professor of Social Service at
Boston University, lectured to the
faculty and students of Guil'ford Col
lege on the "Spirit of Democracy."
Dr. Ward said the two great prin
ciples of democracy are: Equal rights
for all and universal service. It is
the duty oif governments to give
equal equal rights of life, liberty and
social happiness to all. Ninety per
cent. Of the wealth of the United
States is owned by ten per cent, of
the people. This concentration of
wealth means concentration of (polit
ical power. Our government is be
coming too much of an autocracy of
industrial rulers and financiers. A
nation cannot hope to extend dem
ocracy throughout the world without
first being thoroughly democratic it :
sellf. Autocracy may be extended by
guns and force, but not democracy.
In an attempt to extend democra
cy throughout the western world we
must deal with those who own wealth
and power in United States and with
those who control destinies in Ger
many. It is becoming clear, says Dr.
Ward, that before destroying autoc
racy in Germany we must first de
stroy industrial and financial autoc
racy in the United States.
No man is wise enough to control
his fellowmen, and those who seek to
master the people are War makers.
The spirit o'f liberty is imperishable
in the human heart. Democracy has
spread too far for tyrants to control.
Germany may win the war, but she
will never be able to establish a
world empire. It is only a question

CIXEMAIXMiUES PROVE
VERY EXTERTAXIXG
The Frederick Ray Cinemalougues
given here last Wednesday and
Thursday evenings were very well at
tended. Numerous expressions of
satisfaction were heard on all sides.
Mr. Ray's lucid explanations of the
pictures shown added much to their
interest and value while Mrs. Ray's
musical interpretation blended well
with the story as depicted on the
screen.
The film, "Pilgrim's Progress,"
told the story of John Bunyan's life
and the circumstances under which
he came to write the famous allegory.
The story itself came next, and Mr.
Ray's audience followed with deep
interest the journey of Christian
from the city of Destruction to the
New Jerusalem.
The story of "Parsifal" told again
the famous legend of the Holy Grail,
and of the quest oif the gallant Sir
Percival for the priceless trophy. Mr.
Ray in his interpretation of this film
emphasized the idea that purity of
character overcomes all obstacles.
The audience departed feeling that
instruction and pleasure had been
most artistically combined.
CLAVS ROYALLY
ENTERTAINED
/atasians in Charming Irish Program
Achieve the Perfection Toward
Wliich Tliey Have Been Marching.
On Friday evening, March, the Bth,
there was a visitor of unusual inter
est, in the form of an invitation, at
the meeting of the Clays. This note
requested the presence of the Henry
Clays at the next regular meeting of
the Zatasian Literary Society. The
salutation, "Mr. Chairman," rose
from numerous places of the room.
A half-dozen men were on their feet
at the same time clamoring for per
mission to place a motion before the
house to the effect that the invitation
be accepted.
Then followed a week of glorious
dreams and enamored anticipations
of pleasant scenes, vividly tho fanci
fully depicted, of an eventful even
ing which was destined to be record
ed in the Quaker annals as a success
ful demonstration of the height of
literary attainment, and, socially
considered, the very acme of perfec
tion.
The momentous evening was at
hand. The Clays were assembled,
not to carry out the usual program,
biit to marshal their forces for the
purpose of invading the charming
abode of their sister Zatasians, and
sharing with them their proffered
hospitality. Each Clay w&6 given a
program which contained the literary
exercises for the evening and the
menu, and on the back might be de
ciphered mysterious Irish names by
which couples and clans were to be
assembled later.
As the clock chimed out the hour
of eight the Clays were marching in
to Memorial Hall, where a very inter
esting program was rendered by the
Zatasians. The exercises were dis
tinctly Irish in character. The first
number on the program was an ex
cellent paper "Ireland the Home
land," by Miss Hattie Rayle. The
Irish National Anthem, with all its
stirring patriotism and heroic senti
ment, was listened to With rapt at
tention as it was rendered by Misses
Hockett, Dixon, Pike, and Williams.
Miss Juanita Reece delighted her
hearers by the charming manner in
which she delivered a recitation dis
playing Irish wit and humor. The
audience was very pleasantly trans
ported into the melodious atmos
phere and spirit of the tongs of the
"ould country" by Mis 6 Bernice
Pike's splendid rendition of "Killar
ney." Even the most dignified mem
bers of the faculty were compelled
to bend cringing heads before the
terrific onslaught of jokes as found
in the "Pat and Mike Journal" so
interestingly read by Miss Una Seal.
After a cordial welcome from the
president, Miss Cronk, the society
was adjourned. Then after a few
moments of buzzing confusion,
couples and clans began embarking
on the time worn trail tc Founders,
where they were shown into the Za
tasian Society Hiall, which was at-

BIG MEETING ON MAY 11
Alumni, Old Students and Friends
of the College to Attend Banquet
in the Interests of Guilford.
The following letter is being sent
out from the college office to all
those who are interested in Guilford
College:
Dear Friend:
At a meeting of the Board of Trus
tees of Guilford College held on the
18 th of February, a proposition was
considered that the Alumni, Old Stu
dents' Association, and other friends
of the College hold a meeting here
some time this spring in the nature
of a banquet.
The purpose as explained was to
bring together at the College from
all parts of the State as many of its
friends as possible to consider condi
tions now existing—see the equip
ment in the way of buildings, campus
and farm—and to obtain a clear con
ception of the possibilities which lie
within easy reach of our College.
By mingling together and taking
a meal together in Founders Hall, re
calling the days when we were stu
dents either in the school or in the
college, we believe we shall see more
clearly the genuine worth and power
of Guilford and be glad to make a
united and continuous effort to suip-

DK. WEATHERFORD TALKS OX
CHRISTIAN* LEADERSHIP
Dr. W. D. Weatherford spoke to
the students in chapel Monday morn
ing on the present day need for re
ligious leadership. He spoke espe
cially of the needs which the war has
created, and how these are being met
by the varied war activities of the
Young Men' 6 Christian Association.
"All the nations of the world,"
said Dr. Weatherford, "are clamor
ing for Christian leadership and are
looking to America for Christian
ideals. From France, Italy and Rus
sia comes the call for more secre
taries, more Association workers,
more Y. M. C. A. huts."
Dr. Weatherford spoke briefly of
the requests which have come from
these various countries. From Rus
sia the request came thru Dr. Mott
for 200 secretaries; thru Francis
Sayre in Italy the pope has issued a
call for 300 secretaries, while Gen
eral Pershing has asked for 500 men
to be sent over for work among
French soldiers alone.
With these conditions staring us
in the face and with the demand for
real Christian leadership becoming
more and more insistent, it behooves
college men and women to get ready
for the big jobs just ahead.
We need to tighten up in our hab
its of living, to leave off much of the
loose talk, care/lessness and lack of
intergrity which is all too prevalent
among present day youth.
In closing Dr. Weatherford spoke
of the conferences soon to be held
and mentioned a few of the distin
guished men to be present at these
conferences. He urged that every
possible sacrifice be made to attend
these meetings.
