EDITORIAL COMMENT
Guilford in all its past history has
been known for the thoroughness
and high grade scholarship of her
students Guilford alumni have gone
out and made marks in the world
which compare favorably with the
work of graduates of any college
this size. Because ours is a worthy
institution we were granted the Bryn
Mawr and Haverford scholarships,
which were to be awarded to the
girl and boy in the senior class who
should make the highest average
grades in the Junior and Senior
years. Among the girls Vho have
won the scholarship there have been
some who worked so hard to win it
that they were unable physically to
do the work. Besides, the adjustment
and different methods of study were
difficult to make in many cases.
Hence, it was felt that a change
was needed.
This new basis for awarding schol
arship is, as we see it. a very fine
thing for Guilford students. The
person who is the most brilliant
student is not always the most all
round and representative of his class.
Some other person who does not
make so many "A's" as he, may be
an all-round college person, who is
able to do good work in several
fields of activity. Under the old sys
tem, sometimes the students who
was awarded the honors could not
take advantage of them that year,
so there was no representative, or
a substitute was provided. Now the
scholarships will be awarded to the
persons who really want them in
order to continue their studies in
an institution of higher learning. No
one will have greatness thrust upon
him. Furthermore, one of the greatest
advantages of this system is the fine
opportunty it offers to Guilford Al
umni, who can have the chance to
obtain the scholarship after they
have achieved success in some profes
sion.
We feel that we are speaking for
the student body of Guilford in say
ing that we heartily approve these
steps, for we believe they are found
ed on a more democratic basis,
which will make the outcome happier
for everybody for it is just one more
step in making educational advan
tages equal for everybody . It is
better to .have people who are phys
ically and mentally fit than those
who have destroyed their physical
fitness in gaining knowledge, for,
with due apology to the gospels,
one might say, "what doth it profit
one if he gain all knowledge, and lose
hi.s own health."

TEA FOR FEDERATION OF
CLUBS WELL ATTENDED
In spite of a rainy day the tea
given for the Federation of Women's
Clubs by the women of the faculty
and Guilford College community on
Wednesday, May 3, from five to six
thirty, was well attended. The
guests, delegates to the convention
being held in Greensboro and their
Greensboro hostesses, numbered
about 300. The tea was held in the
reading room of the college library
since the parlors in Founders' Hall
Hall are in process of redecoration.
Mrs. Raymond Binford and Mrs. J.
F. Davis received the guests at the
door. Miss Bessie V. Noles and
Miss Aline Polk poured tea while
the refreshments were served by the
girls of the junior and senior classes.
Unfortunately the rainy weather
and the late hour made it impossible
for the guests to see much of the
campus or any of the things of
particular interest about the college.
