Member of North Carolina Collegiate Presi Association EDITORIAL COMMENT GUILFORD'S ENDOWMENT While Guilford was taking a rest at Christmas time and her stu dents, faculty, and friends were enjoying the blessings of home life, the glad tidings came that institution was to receive SIOO,OOO. This news was welcomed in the minds of Guilfordians thoughout the state and country with a deep sense of relief. To all of Guil ford's old students and friends, her staggering need is apparent. The one thing that Guilford must have is a $500,000 endowment and the college free from debt. There are, at the present time, three possibilities open to Guil ford as an institution: First, she must raise her endowment to one half million dollars. Second, she must close her doors. Third, she must become a Junior college. This may be startling to some of our readers, but. nevertheless, the college is face to face with exactly that situation. Our answer, fellow Guilfordians, has been given in no uncertain terms. There is but one door, that we are going to enter. The conditional gift of the General Education Board paves the w ayto the door which opens into a grand and noble future for Guilford. The door remains to be opened. The friends and sup porters of our school are going to do it. AS OTHERS SEE US Sometime we are inclined to talk about ourselves, but in most cases it is better to work and do very little talking. The following is an editorial from the Durham Hearld: "According to announcement of President Binford, of Guilford College, the Quaker institution has an opportunity to greatly in crease its endowment. The General Education board has offered SIOO,OOO on the condition that the college raise $275,000 in the next year. Guilford's endowment fund at present is $200,000, and if the education board's offer is met it will mean that the insti tution will in another year have an endowment of $500,000. and $75,000 more for the needs of its equipment." "This news will be of interest all over North Carolina, for Guil ford is a most deserving college and should have a greater oppor tunity to enlarge its good work. As we have remarked previously the smaller colleges of the state have a great responsibility upon their shoulders, and we believe when measured by their facilities, they are doing more real good than some of the larger institutions. There is the personal touch at the smaller colleges that is impossible in the larger ones. The environment is better, and there is more direct contact between the college authorities and the students than in the institutions where many hundreds of students are enrolled. We believe that the graduates of the smaller colleges are better prepared in many respects to take their place in life than are the graduates of some of the larger schools. There is more seriousness about the work of the smaller colleges. They are more appreciative of their responsibilities. They realize their handicaps and limited facilities, and strive all the harder to make the best use of the materials they have to work with. The small colleges are filling a very important place in the educational world, and they should be encouraged and helped in their work of making good citizens out of the boys and girls who come to them for training". "Guilford is one of the more important links in the chain of the so-called smaller colleges. It is small because it has not poured out upon it the riches of powerful supporters. For many years it has gone about its business of turning out each year a small num ber of young men and young women who are equipped to meet the test of citizenship. It has done its work well, and the news of the probable good fortune that is to come to Guilford is a source of much satisfaction not only to the Friends church and Alumni of the college, but the whole state THE GUILFORDIAN DEPARTMENT NOTES Home Economics in Practice Practice meals are being served by the first year cooking class. Seniors in Household Management are beginning to plan and calcu late the cost of meals to be used du ring the practice housekeeping. The same cottage used last year will be devoted to the purpose this year.

A voice recital will be given Fri day night by the students of Mr. James Wesley White. • • • Curtis Purvis is finishing his last work at Guilford as he will be out of school until the fall when he ex pects to start his medical work at Tulane Universiy. Benbow Merrimon has underway his thesis on the arrangement of a model farm. He has re-organized the plan of the home farm and is working on a systematic financial research for a year in advance. After two days of library research at Chapel Hill, William Wolff is going ahead with his work in carbo hydrate digestion in cambarus with an incouraging outlook. John Reynolds and Glenn Lassi ter are starting their major work in Biology. THE BUSINESS MANAGER SAYS To the Alumni and Old Students: In this, our first issue of f he New Year, the Guilfordian Board desires to make the Guilfordian more ad equately serve the purpose for which it is published. The purpose is to give a detailed weekly account of the lilerary, re ligious, social and athletic activities of our college. In addition to this purpose it has become the duty of our college weekly to bind the alum ni and student body closer together. Co-operation between the alumni and students will necessarily play a big part in the success of our en dowment campaign and we trust that the Guilfordian will be one of the means by which this coopera tion can be brought about. We are hoping that from this paper the alumni may learn what is happening at the college and through it you can make valuable suggestions and express your opinions relative to every phase of college activity.
