EDITORIAL COMMENT
A CREED EOR GUILFORDIANS
"If I forget thee,
May my right hand forget her cun
ning.
Let my tongue cleave to the roof of
my mouth,
Jf I remember thee not."
Isn't that a good creed for seniors
10 take with them as a parting pledge
to their Alma Mater? Isn't it a good
creed for alumni to cling to when
they are miles away from the beloved
college campus, and the ties that
four years ot college life have built
into their lives begin to weaken a
bit? Isn't it a ringing challenge to
Joval sons and daughters to return
to this, their chosen mother, at com
mencement time?
And returning, what then?
William Lowe Bryan, president of
the oldest state university west of
the Alleghenies, has said, "A noble
Alma Mater is created bv sacrifice.
None truly belong to her save they
who join in the sacrifice."
To Guilfordians returning with
this spirit in their hearts, unnum
bered needs present themselves—for
in this day of change constant ad
justment is forever necessary. Then
comes the question, "How may we
help?"
The answer is easy. Get such a
huge dose of true Guilford spirit
at this commencement that you will
come to feel that whatever Guilford
needs, she must have —have willing
ly, joyously, gloriously. Get a vision
of the educational possibilities ahead
of this oldest co-educational institu
tion in the south, rich in spirit and
potentialitv, poor only in material
things.
When every Guilford man and
woman sees adown the vista of the
years new visions of her glory rise,
then all Guilford's needs shall be as
sured, for we back with out last
dollar the thing we believe in.
NEW BUSINESS* POLICY
The addition of a circulation man
ager to the Business Staff carries with
it more that merelv relieveing the
Business Manager of his present
method of distribution.
The underlying purpose for ad
ding the new position is to enlarge
our circulation. Possiblv the great
est service that our paper can do is
to keep the alumni in touch with the
college and its needs. The college
that loses touch with its alumni sus
tains a severe blow.
It is the policy of the new board
to haye The Guilfordian read by all
of Guilford's alumni and a large per
cent of her old students.
The Guilfordian Board wishes to
thank all who have in any way con
tributed to the success of this paper
and asks the hearty support of its
friends in helping us to create a bet
ter paper and make our new policy
a success.
TO THE SENIORS
Past now the class room routine,
past the engrossing student activities,
slipping rapidly the last moments of
the comradship of four years spent
together. Rather a tremulous situa
tion, what?
Like you, your college grieves a
bit at the same time that she rejoices
—for she is a real mother, this Alma
Mater of yours. She sends you out
into the world, knowing that she will
miss you, proud of your accomplish
ments here, eagerly hoping for great
things for you out there.
No class can spend four years in
a college without its imprint for bet
ter or worse upon the college life.
Seniors of the class of '22, Guilford
watches you go, secure in her belief
that your stay here has made pre
dominantly for the mutual welfare
of both. And so with a smile, she
bids you God-speed and all hail, '22.
TO THE ALUMNI
Why come back to commence
ment? Well, why not? It is good to
learn what the youngsters are doing
and what the oldsters have done.
And then the crimson ramblers and
the magnolias are in bloom just as
they used to be. The old campus that
you used to love is here, beautiful
and friendly still. A day on that
campus and your love of Guilford
comes alive again—if ever it has
smouldered, which heaven forbid. It
is as though you drink at the foun
tain of youth.
Congressman Connally
Delivers An Addrest

tion to international problems. He
said that peace ideals of great men
and the many recent conferences
have been steps in the right direc
tion but to prevent wars the causes
for wars must be removed. An in
ternational court of justice, to which
the powers would agree to submit
their causes, was the answer he sug
gested.
The speaker said that one's an
swer to the question; "Quo Vadis,"
should always be to truth and honor,
to excellence and to service of coun
try." He spoke of the great accom
plisments of such men as Columbus,
Washington and Penn and their de
termination to go forward. In clos
ing the speaker said, "It is the per
formance and not the task that takes
the measure of a man. Somewhere
there is a place that you can fill bet
ter than any other. It may be ob
scure—it may be plain—it may be
humble, —but you may fill it greatly.

with Lyndon Williams as leader. The
theme of his talk was Christian per
