ALUMNI COMMITTEE HAS
MEETING AT THE COLLEGE
Sunday afternoon several mem
bers of the Alumni Association met
at the college to have a conference
concerning the work of the associ
ation for the coming year. C. C.
Smithdeal, acting president; Rhesa
L. Newlin, secretary; Prof. L. L.
White, chairman of the athletic com
mittee; Laura Worth, chairman of
the loan fund committee; S. Addison
Hodgin, chairman of the committee
on college policy and endowment;
Paul S. Nunn, of the publicity com
mittee; and President Binford at
tended the meeting. Several things
of interest to the Association were
discussed.
The first thing to claim the atten
tion of the group was the work of
the different committees. It was
realized very fully that the commit
tees have not accomplished in the
past what they should have, but this
is no reason why they should not do
something worthwhile in the future.
Thus it was decided that each
chairman should call his committee
together at the earliest possible
date and outline the work of the
committee for the year. No doubt
each member of the association will
agree with this idea, for every
one knows that in order to do
effective work that there must be a
program, and a program that will
adequately meet the needs of the
committee and the association could
hardly be worked out except in
consultation. Now it is hoped that
each chairman will comply with this
request and call his committee to
gether at the College at the earliest
possible date, and it should be re- |
membered that today, is the day to
act, for tomorrow you will not have |
time. It should also be remembered
in this connection that it all the i
committees will get to work, that.
our next annual meeting will be a j
really interesting one for each (0111- |
mittee will have something to re
port.
The chairman of t.ie loan "u i
committee reports that she ins o
hand more than $600.00 It is po
sible that there are several worthy
students ii the college now who I
do not know about this fund, and j
why it was created. Several years
aco the association realized that sev- i
eral students enter college and then j
after a couple of years have to drop i
out for financial reasons alone. To |
meet this need the alumni associa
tion created a loan fund. If there
are any students at the present time
who need this kind of help they
should see Laura Worth or any
member of the faculty.
The representatives from Win
ston-Salem requested that the Guil
ford football team play a game in
that city next year. Prof. L. L.
White, graduate manager, says that
he will do his best to schedule a
game in Winston-Salem next year.
The students will be pleased to learn
of the interest that the alumni over
in Winston have in them.
S. Addison Hodgin seemed very
much interested in the campus and
called attention to several things
that might be improved.
Some time ago it was announced
in this paper that the north end j
ed of Archdale hall would be re- !
modeled and adequately furnished
for a common meeting place for the
boys of the college as soon as funds
could be secured. The boys will
learn with interest that the alumni
are interested in this improvement.
Many of the alumni feel that there
should be a comfortable room pro- j
vided where the boys could meet ,
their friends, students, and members
of the fatuity in an un-official way.
For this purpose, no better place
could be selected than the north end
of this hall. Many members of
the association feel that if this im
provement were made that it would
be a fine place for students and
faculty to have social hour together
each evening, a place where they
could meet and talk about anything
under the sun or above it for that
matter. One alumni suggested that
he thought that it would be a fine
thing for some class to furnish this
room. The suggestion certainly is
a good one.
Rhesa L. Newlin, secretary of the
association, stated that he would put
on a campaign early in January
to more than treble the membership
of the association. It might be
stated here that any old student of
New Garden boading school or
Guilford College may become a
member by paying the annual fee
of two dollars. It is hoped that
every member of the association will
co-operate with the secretary, and
help him put across his program.
President Binford made a very in
teresting talk setting forth his plans
for the future development of the
college. You will hear about these
plans later, so be thinking and be
ready for anything that may come.
The meeting was interesting from
beginning to end and everyone left
feeling that there is plenty of work
for the association to do this year.

IPSE DIXIT
AND GALILEO
There was much learning but little real knowledge
in Galileo's time (1564-1642). Aristotle was swal
lowed in bad Latin translations. Ipse dixit. No
one checked him by what seemed vulgar, coarse
experiment.
Galileo fought against the dead hand of tradition.
He did not argue about Aristotle, but put him to
the test. Aristotle led his readers to believe that of
two bodies the heavier will fall the faster. Galileo
simply climbed to the top of the Leaning Tower of
Pisa and dropped two unequal weights. The "best
people" were horrified; they even refused to believe
the result —that the weights reached the ground in
equal times.
"Look at the world, and experiment, experiment,"
cried Galileo.
The biggest man in the 16th century was not Gal
ileo in popular estimation, but Suleiman the Magni
ficent, the Ottoman Emperor, who swept through
Eastern Europe with fire and sword and almost cap
tured Vienna. Where is his magnificence now?
Galileo gave us science—established the paramount
right of experimental evidence. Suleiman did little
to help the world.
Hardly an experiment is made in modern science
which does not apply Galileo's results. When, for
instance, the physicists in the Research Laboratories
of the General Electric Company study the motions
of electrons in rarified atmospheres, or experiment
to heighten the efficiency of generators and motors,
they follow Galileo's example and substitute facts
for beliefs.
