=s - The majority oi the older trees are white oaks am
as these die they are being n-placed by others. Nothing is allowed to disturb the birds and the squirrels on the earn
pus, and it is rarely indeed that one can at any time >f year look out over the campus for even a few minutes witlion
seeing from one to half a dozen squirrels scampering about among the trees. Shrubbery has been abundantly ]>lante
around all the buildings and so well have these been
chosen that they furnish one successive mass of
bloom after another. Views of the athletic fields and
descriptions of the athletic activities of the college
will be given in a later issue of the Guilfordian.
Needless to say, these will not be descriptions ol.'
''still life studies."
The relation between a dairy herd and a college
may not at first thought be apparent, but Guilford
students realize it every morning at seven o'clock
when hot biscuit and butter time comes. Not only do
the milk and butter supplied to the dining rooms cut
an important figure, but the maintenance of a herd
of high grade cattle under modern methods of man
agement furnishes a valuable object lesson t>
students interested in agriculture. The college farm
also supplies the pork and poultry products used by
the college. To an increasing extent each year the
college orchard and garden are supplying the fresh
fruits and vegetables for the dining rooms. During
Another view under the great oaks and hickories. Memorial Hall,
the administration building, to the right.
The products of the college dairy and farm add much to the
wholesomeness of Guilford fare.
Till-] buildings 011 the iuilford College campus are
arranged in a large quadrangle with the main drive
cunning through the renter. The three campus pictures
shown this week are all of scenes west of the main
drive. East of the drive are the boys' dormitories, the
gymnasium, the Ilobbs Athletic Field and the Y. M. 0.
A. building. As can be seen from the pictures, the west
campus rises gently from the drive to a higher level
upon which the buildings are placed. Directly in line
between Founders Hall and the Library is a natural
ampithcater. Last year with a background of cedar,
spruce and box and with a flowering dogwood in the
foreground a beautiful May Day pageant was given.
A May pole was wound and other drills were performed
by gaily dressed maidens of the May. At Commence
ment time the senior class gave "The Forest Princess"
in the same place as a part of the festivities of Com
ineiicenient week.

The Guilford campus furnishes a beautiful and quiet place in
which to live and work. The college farm does its part t> supply
a wholesome physical basis for right living and effective working.
Nourished with wholesome food, and set upon a beautiful cam
pus, the life of the student body has many charming features, as
one may observe on balmy afternoons when groups of students
are studying under the great trees, or after four p. m., when the
boys on the Hobbs' Athletic Field, and the girls on their grounds,
bordering west side of the campus, are pursuing their games of
ball or tennis, >r are testing their skill in other forms of recreative
contests which develope vigorous bodies ready for the world's
great games.
Many are the lessons of co-operative effort that are being
learned in the activities of the students, as they help to preserve
the beauty of their campus home, and labor together in their
Christian Associations, their Literary Societies and Clubs, with
the accompanying social functions, or compose and edit the week
ly newspaper, or support their representatives in the intercolle
giate contests in athletics, debate or oratory.
These campus activities, all of which make a wholesome contri
bution to the life of the community are hardly surpassed by any
in the country.
With the increasing complexity of the modern life, it is more im
portant than ever that young men and women learn how to live
with their fellows. The experience of democracy gained by partici
pation in the life at Guliford is a foundation upon which our stu
dents build habits of public service which make for progress.
