QUAKER TEAM GOES DOWN
IN DEFEAT BEFORE FAST
RICHMOND BLUES QUINT
HOLLIDAY STARS FOR RICHMOND
WHILE TEW IS OUTSTANDING
QUAKER SATILITE
The Quaker Quint 011 Saturday night
went down in defeat before the strong
Richmond Light Infantry team in the
first game of the season by a score of
44-27.
The absence of the "famous Frazier"
and the excellent guards, Thomas and
Cummings, was at times noticeable. The
further handicap occasioned by the ill
ness of "Shirt" Smith upon whom fans
are depending for an excelletn season
was also felt. This team which consist
ed of only one veteran player outplayed
the nimble Virginians in the second
half.
The game was a fast encounter al
though both teams made many fumbles.
Due to the newness of the season they
had not yet perfected a smooth run
ning machine.
Coach Doak's squad held its own
during the first few minutes of the game
but the Blues spurted away for a gain
which the locals never overcame. The
Blues played their best and piled up
most of their scores in the first half.
The Quakers seemed to be unable to
get into smooth running order, and at
the end of the first half the had
looped the cage for 32 points while
Guilford's score stood at 12.
With the beginning of the second
half the Doakmen found themselves and
caged two field goals in rapid order.
They held the visitors from doing the

FACULTY COMMITTEE TO
REGULATE ACTIVITIES
Hereafter when students at Guilford
find themselves overworked they may
take it up with the college authorities j
and find whether there is a legal right
for such a condition. At least there
has been a legislation by the faculty I
governing such conditions.
A committee has been permanently !
established for supervision of student
activities. This is to insure against the j
work of students overlapping. It has
been agreed by the "powers that be" [
that henceforth no student shall take |
part in exlra-cu ricula activities who '
has not in the previous quarter passed
a minimum of nine hours of college j
work.
Extra-curricula activities have not
been so far permanently defined but at !
least the following offices have been
designated as coming under that head: [
president of the Y.M. and Y.W.C.A.,
Editor-in-chief and managing editor
and business manager of the Guilfor
dian, managers of the athletic depart
ments including tennis and track, man
ager of the Glee club, manager of the
orchestra, president and secretary anil
house presidents of the Student Gov
ernment Association, members of de- j
bating team, members of Glee club,
members of the orchestra, character in
a play and member of College athletic j
team.

SPANISH CLASS STUDIES
TEXTBOOK OF J.M. PURDIE
Stories and happenings of Guilford
alumni are always sources of interest
to the student body, and the news that
the second year class in Spanish here,
is to study a text-book edited by an
alumnus of the College is of special
interest to many people here. The
text-book to be used is "Trozos Selec
tos" edited by Professor Joseph M.
Purdie 'O6 and Arluro Fernandez of
the United States Naval Academy.
The textbook was originally written
for the use of the midshipmen in the
Naval Academy.
Mr. Purdie is a graduate of the Col
lege, being an alumnus of the class of
1906. He has taught extensively in
Mexico, Central America, Panama, Cu
ba and for several years in North Caro
lina and Virginia. At present he is
associate professor of Language at the
United States Naval Academy at An
napolis, Maryland, where he teaches
Spanish and French. The second year
Spanish class this year will use this
book as a text during the next semester.
It is interesting to note that Mr. Pur
die's daughter. Lucille, is a member of
this class in Spanish.
Jos. M. Dixon, Governor of
Montana, a member of the class
of 'B9 and a charter member of
the Henry Clay literary society,
recently made the society a
present of one of his photographs,
bearing the following autograph

MISS CAMPRELL ATTENDS
NATIONAL SCIENTIFIC MEET
Miss Eva G. Campbell, of the Bio
logical department, attended the Ameri
can Association for the Advancement
nf Science at Washington, D. C., dur
ing the week of Dec. 29 to Jan 3. This
•association is made up of the different !
National Scientific societies. Miss
Campbell is a member of the Zoological !
branch. She reports that the greatest I
benefit derived from such a meeting is
association with the leading men of
science and hearing them discuss the j
latest scientific developments.
"One of the most interesting topics
discussed, said Miss Campbell, "was
the discovery of the cause of a new dis- j
ease called Tularenia. This disease i
affects those who handle and prepare
rabbits for the market and comes from
the condition of the animal's liver. It
affects the victim with a gagged fever
which lasts about ten days.

TO JOIN IN FESTIVE
EVENT
;
For some lime the local Guilford
College club as well as the- clubs in
High Point, Winston-Salem and Greens
boro have felt the need of changing for
j once, at least, from the custom of hold
ing an annual banquet, to something of
a more general interest. A conference
was called to meet here January 11 to
j discuss plans for something of this
kind. The meeting was attended by
Arthur Lyon, Ralph Parker, Joseph
Cox and Chase Idol of High Point, R.
J. M. Hobbs and Robert Frazier of
Greensboro with Dr. E. C. Perisho,
Miss Emma King and President Bin

TOM SYKES DISCUSSES
NEW WORLD CREATION
j Rev. Tom Sykes, of High Point, be
gan his chapel address Friday morning
by reading a wonderful prophecy of
Saint Peter in which he speaks of "new
heavens and a new earth wherein dwell
eth rigrteousness." Mr. Sykes said that
the College students of today will put
much into the world, which is not there
| now through living consecrated lives of
| service.
"High marks in a life of service in a
world that needs reconstruction," main
j tained the speaker, "are more important
| than high marks in academic work.
| People today are living on the very
verge of the time when the new earth
will begin. Some of the present genera
i tion will probably take part in the crea
iion of this new earth."
-pa ai() pasißid X|i|Bii| jaspads at[X
j lege spirit ol service, maintained that
the infusion of the Guilford spirit into
I the elife of the state has forwarded the
I coming of a more glorious future, and
i that they, too, will greatly aid in this
I consummation of an improved, regeu
! erated world.
"The application of the Christ spirit,"'
| said he, "has not been widely tried. It
j has been tried by individuals, and by
small groups, but to no great extent by
j nations. Each ir.e' vidual's part is im

earth can come only through the opera
! tion through the Christ-spirit OIJ the

UNUSUAL COUiISE TO BE
OFFERED IN THE SPRING
Probably the most interesting and
what will perhaps be the most popular
new course offered during the next
semester will be the •'Outline of Civil
ization. This will be a lecture course
giving three hours credit and is some
thing new in the regular college cur
riculum. It will be primarily a fresh
man course although it is nol stated
that other students will be debarred.
The course is divided between several
departments. There will be lectures on
the accomplishments of man, size of
the universe, geology, the fundamental
laws of physics, the fundamental laws
of chemistry, hygeine, physiology, plant i
life, psychology, and sociology. There
will he lectures under the general head
ing oi art, and will cover, language, lit
erature, painting, and sculpturers. Care
ful study will be given, also, to the
showing of the relation .of science to
religion.
The course will be taught by several I
instructors.

FACULTY ENTERTAIN THE
STUDENTS IN ANNUAL
CHRISTMAS-TIME BANQUET
MR. HAWORTH ACTS AS TOASTMAS
TER—DR. BINFORI) AND DR.
PERISHO SPEAKS
The Annual Faculty-Student banquet
held on Thursday evening, December 18,
was undoubtedly more successful than
any former one of its nature.
The committee on arrangements
changed somewhat the usual order of
procedure. In order to avoid the con
gestion which on previous occasions has
been evident in the hall at Founders, the
students were requested to assemble at
the Library promptly at 7:00 o'clock.
The various classes were assigned cer
tain portions of the Library where they
paired off. At the ringing of the bell
in Founders the procession started. Each
class headed by a member of the Facul
ty-
At Founders Miss Katherine Ricks
and Professor Algie Newlin received,
and took charge of the wraps. As the
guests were ushered into the dining
room, the hallway vibrated with the
sound of Christmas carols sung by
members of the College Chorus who
were lined up on both sides of the en
trance.
The dining room decorations were
unusually attractive. Creenery artis
tically arranged hung from the beamed
ceiling. Minature Christmas trees glis
lened and sparkled from all parts of
the room and even the broad mantles
were adorned with stockings brimming
over with Santa Claus' generosity. From
(lie banquet tables, made especially for
the occasion, the soft glow of red can
dles added the last otuch to the Yule
tide atmosphere.
The program was a Christmas one,
'hi l theme being "The Star of Bethle
hem."
Professor Samuel llaworth acted as
toaslmaster and very appropriately op
ened the evening's program by a short
reminiscence of his boyhood days at
Christmas time.
The first speaker of the evening was
Dr. Elwood Perisho whose topic was
"The Light That Never Fails." In pre
senting his topic, Dr. Perisho showed

NOT "WHERE FROM" BUT
"WHERE TO" IS QUESTION
Doctor Raymond Bin ford greeted the
students back to Cuilford at chapel
Tuesday morning, Jan. 6, by reading a
few salutations taken from Paul's epis
tles. He the stated why the students
were so welcome in one brief statement:
"It is for the love of you that this in
stitution exists The institution within
itself would be miserably vacant." The
purpose of the institution, stated the
President, is to put something into each
student so they will be impelled to
"live the truth." In following up this
idea he read an editorial, taken from a
recent number of "The American
Friend," the subject of which was
"Where to, please?" The editorial
stated thai train number "1925" i on
the track anil we are all passengers,
but, where to. please? Not how fast—
but where to?"
Doctor Binford in addition laid em
phasis on the following remark made
by himself: "The world stands insist
ent to know where we are going. Not
what you are, where you have been or
where you are from, but where to?"
