VOL. IX.
GUILFORD DEFEATED BY
LYNCHBURG HORNETS IN
THANKSGIVING BAY GAME
Quakers Held To Zero End of
32-0 Score
In the final game of the football
season, Coach Doak's charges went
down to defeat to the tune of
32 to 0 at Lynchburg on Thanks
giving day. Both teams had plenty
of pep and the score hardly indicates
the class of ball played. A blocked
punt and a false pass accounted
for two of Lynchburg's touch
downs and a brilliant 93-yard run
by Witt, gave her another.
With defeat staring them in the
face the Quakers kept up a strong
fight throughout the game and never
gave up until the final whistle blew.
The whole line fought well but
Lynchburg seemed to be able to
slip by left end, especially Witt,
their speedy half back. Although
Guilford was able to make gains,
they were not consistent enough to
carry her over Lynchburg's goal
line.
Witt was the outstanding man
of Lynchburg's team. He was ex
ceptionally fast and carried the ball
for good gains, scoring three of
his team's touchdowns. His 93-yard
run was the feature of the game.
"Shorty" Frazier, who substituted
for Knight, was the best ground
gainer for Guilford. His best gain
was a 29-yard run around Lynch
burg's left end. Captain Mcßane
was back in the line-up for the first
time since the Catawba game.
He did splendid work in the
line and it was a treat to see "Big
Mack" get into the game. The stel
lar work of "Block" Smith on
both offensive and defensive also
deserves especial mention.

J. ROUNTREE GILLETT
EXPRESSES VIEWS ON
AMERICAN EDUCATION
FUTURE LOOKS HOPEFUL
"Don't you know you Americans
have a wonderful system of edu
cation," remarked J. Rountree Gil
lett, as he came back from a stroll
around the campus. "Here you are
with a well oiled machine taking
the child into the grade school,
through the high school and finally
putting on the finishing touches in
the college. I look with expectancy
to the America of the future."
Beyond his deep interest in edu
cational and industrial conditions,
Mr. Gillett is a firm believer in
the open meeting for discussion and
the Friends silent meeting for wor
ship.
"Ramsey McDonald, one of our
English statesmen told me during
the war to be sure and not let our
small adult schools die out, for he
said it is there that the great prob
lems of the day are first wrestled
with I am looking forward to the
splendid development of such dis
cussion groups as are now to be
found at your universities; espe
cially am I thinking of the group at
Chicago."
Mr. Gillett when he is at home
lives at Hampstead Heath just a few
doors from the old residence of
the poet Keats. Hampstead Heath
has its own Quaker Meeting; in
fact there are over fifty small
groups in and around London.
"Jane Adams tells me that she
is ready to join Friends as soon as
she can find out just exactly
what they stand for. There is
a good story on Chicago that Miss
Adams tells," continued Mr. Gillett,
"It seems that Detective Burns when
once speaking to her about condi
tions in Chicago, said that Chica
go was a pocket edition of hell.
Miss Addams rather resented this,
so Burns, trying to modify the
statement, said, 'I might call hell
a pocket edition of Chicago.'"
The moral and sanitary conditions
of the larger American cities is
of particular interest to this social
reformer, for in England he is
a member of a national committee
on moral hygiene in municipali
ties. In fact Mr. Gillett and his
brother have had a private secre
tary over in this country for six
months picking up information to
be used in their present investi
gational work.
Mr. Gillett will be in Chicago
and New York for a few months
before he returns to England. He
spends a day at Chapel Hill visit
ing University Friends, then leaves
for a few days visit with the Wood
h.nd conservative meeting in the
eastern part of North Carolina
before he leaves for the North.
President Binford and Prof. L. L.
White attended the teachers' as
sembly at Raleigh Nov. 30, Dec. 1
and 2, where Dr. Binford made an
address to the teachers of the
state.
Among the Sunday afternoon
callers were O. P. McArthur of
Greensboro; Archie Johnson, Edwin
Groom, Roy Varner, Luther Bar
ker and Roy Mitchell.

MISSIONARY FROM JAPAN
SPEAKS AT Y. W. C. A
Tells of Work Among Japanese
Miss Sharpless, a returned mis
sionary from Japan, was present
at the Y. W. C. A. Meeting held
Friday evening, December 1, and
gave an interesting report on the
life of girls in Japan.
"The one happy time in the life
of the Japanese girl is that which
is spent in the four years of her
high school education. With gradu
ation practically all of her social
life ends, since it is only a few who
continue their education. The ma
jority go back home and prepare
to marry. However the girl plays
a minor part in the preparation,
since the marriage is arranged for
by the girl's parents. She knows no
masculine associates and hence has
little choice in the matter. Yet
Japanese girls are happy, friendly
and interesting to converse with."
In conclusion Miss Sharpless
asked the question "What does it
mean to be a missionary?" It
does not necessarily mean that
one has to go to a foreign field.
In fact one will never reach a for
eign field until one has through
one's personality given out God. A
missionary is a recommendation for
God, whether at home or abroad.
The visitor brought with her
many interesting views and photo
graphs from Japan. A number of
them were of particular interest to
the girls, since they were related
to I Sato San— the little Japanese
girl whom our local Y. W. C. A.
is supporting.
MRS. DAISY DOUGLAS BABB
SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
Mrs. Daisy Douglas Barr. who
has been conducting a series of
meetings in Greensboro recently,
made a short address at chapel
Friday morning. She repeated the
question of Jesus "How much better
is a man than a sheep?" She said
this question was occasioned by tiie
commercial idea of the time.
Mrs. Barr gave the three requi
sites for a successful life as, "good
common sense, good health, a good
conscience. The well-trained mind
plus the well-trained body equals
the difference between the educated
and the uneducated man." She cited
Eli Whitney as an example of a
man possessing a well-trained mind,
and also a skillful workman. A
well trained conscience is necessary.
This is acquired through moral and
religious training.
The speaker said that a man
who has received only physical and
intellectual training may be a worse
man than he was before. The en
vironments of life will be vastly
different from what a person thinks,
expected of college men and wo
men." No denominational school
A Christian character is to be
can cope with state schools in ad
vantages, but in moral training they
are superior. Today there is a
call for young men and women of
good morals, for a person who lives
a clean life will give more con
scientious service than others.
Mr. Ensley, who accompanies Mrs.
Barr as soloist, sang "The Holy
City" at the opening of chapel.
THANKSGIVING DAY IS
VARIOUSLY OBSERVED
RY GUILFORD STUDENTS
DORMS HOLD OPEN HOUSE
Thanksgiving day was (gladly,
welcomed by Guilford students as
the first holiday of the fall term.
Accordingly it was joyfully cele
brated in the spirit of thankfulness
for the fact that there were no
lessons to bother and for one whole
day everyone could have a good
time.
But the day really began on
Wednesday afternoon when one
could look across the campus and
see boys industriously beating rugs,
and girls cleaning windows, all
getting ready for the annual "in
spection" on Thanksgiving.
Thursday dawned pleasant and
beautiful everybody was astir early
in order to put the finishing touches
on the well-nigh immaculate rooms
before 10 o'clock should come,
when the bell rang at that hour a
large number of boys and girls
gathered at Memorial Hall, and
under the leadership of Prof.
Rheesa Newlin, Prof. F. C. Ans
combe and Mr. J. Rowntree Gillett,
started on a hike. They went into
the woods near the Frazier home,
across fields to the Friendship road
some distance above Guilford
station. Due to the wonderful abil
ity of Professors Anscombe and
Newlin as hikers and the slowness
with which student couples usually
walk, the students were left far in
the rear and about two-thirds of
them got lost. But they finally
recover their bearings and reached
the college safely.
Meanwhile tennis claimed the at
tention of a smaller group which
had remained at the college. John
Reynolds, Margaret Levering; Nell
Carroll, Raymond Ebejt; Edward
Holder, Eva Holder; Nellie Allen
and Otis Burke, kept up lively
games on the New Garden courts
until noon.
Thanksgiving dinner at 1 o'clock
was especially welcome to the tired
hikers, tennis players, and all the
rest, for Mrs. Burgess at Founders,
and at New Garden, Mrs. Levering,
aided by Ruth Reynolds, Virginia
Osborne and William Blair, had
surpassed their usual ability in the
preparation of this holiday dinner.
At three o'clock Miss Louise
escorted her flock of girls to Cox
Hall for the annual inspection of
rooms to which all had looked
forward with so much pleasure.
Each section was gone over hur

GUILFORD TO DEBATE
HAMPDEN-SYDNEY SOON
At a recent meeting of the debate
council it was decided that Guilford
should hold a dual debate at
Hampden-Sidney college this year.
While the time for the debate has
not been decided, it will probably
be held during the latter part of
February.
The question to be debated has
not been definitely settled but will
be determined early this week.
Since this is to be the second clash
with Hampden-Sidney it will doubt
less be hard fought. In the first
debate, held two years ago. Guilford
won both the affirmative and nega

GUILFORD LOSES VALUED
FRIEND IN PERSON OF
MRS. PRISCILLA HACKNEY
Former Matron of Founders' Hall
Dies at Home of Sister
With the death of Mrs. Priscilla
L!. Hackney who died November
28, at the home of her sister, Mrs.
W. C. Blair, Guilford College
lost a life-long friend. Possibly
no other woman has been more
closely identified with the college
for a longer period of time than
was Mrs. Hackney.
Born at Oak Ridge May 11, 1840,
Mrs. Hackney, who was the eldest
of the nine children of Jesse and
Anna Clark Benbow, had retained
all her faculties up until the time
of her last illness and was deeply
interested in present day happen
ings..
After completing her education
at New Garden boarding school,
Mrs. Hackney taught at the college
for a number of years. She was
then called to Eest Tennessee where
she had charge of the William
Foster home for girls.
In 1874 she was married to
Henry Clark Hackney of Tennessee.
To this union was born a daughter,
Henry Anna Clay. Following the
death of her husband, Mrs. Hack
ney, with her daughter, returned
to this state and for 18 years was
the beloved mother of Founders
Hall. She served in this capacity
until 1903 and since her retirement,
at that time the place has been filled
by her sister, Miss Sarah E. Ben
bow. During her service as Matron
Mrs. Hackney proved a strong sup
port to Guilford college. Among
other things she was instrumental
in the building of New Garden hall,
a dormitory for girls.
After the marriage of her
daughter to David White of Greens
boro, Mrs. Hackney moved there
to make her home. While living
in Greensboro she was closely iden
tified with all the organizations of
the Friends church and was rec
ognized as an efficient worker in the
church. She was also an ardent
woi ker for the cause of temperance
and had long been a loyal
and valued member of the
Women s Christian Temperance Un
ion. lor many years she was one
of the clerks of the North Carolina
Yearly Meeting of Friends where
her wise counsel and sane judgment
were greatly appreciated. All her
life she was deeply interested in
all educational progress and every
thing which pertained to moral
uplift.
The loss of her only daughter,
Mrs. White, in 1911 was a great
blow to Mrs. Hackney but while
heart-broken she showed the same
spirit of resignation and bravery
which characterized her entire life.
Mrs. Hackney is survived by one
grand daughter, Miss Priscilla
White, of Greensboro, and by three
sisters, Mrs. Julia Gleanes of
Wytheville, Va., Mrs. Josephine
Blair, and Miss Sarah E. Benbow
of Guilford College.
Hal Rich, W. C. Hammond, Wil
liam Arm field. Ben Bulla and Wil
liam Johnson spent the week-end
at their respective homes in Ash
boro.
