i
Dr. Eilliu Grant, direc'or of Haver
ford Graduate School, also professor
of Biblical Literature, spirit the great
er par of the past week here. While
Professor of Rihlical literature at
Smith College. Dr. Grant wrote the
book entitled, "The Bible as Litera
ture." He is also author of, "The
Orient in Bible Times," as well as a
number of other well known books.
Wednesday morning Dr. Grant
spoke for a few minuUs in chapel
about Quaker schools n ar Jerusalem.
In the first part of his talk he told
how athletics in these schools have
caused the boys to grasp the spirit
of fair play and abandon war spirit.
tie also pictured the great obligation j
resting upon those in charge of these
schools to supply the needs of the
people in order to keep their confi- ,
dence. "Friends have a great moral
mandate in old counrties, but if we
should try to police those people we
■would soon lose this mandate.'"
"Everything", continued Dr. Grant, j
"leads to something worth while." j
He further explained that our brains
are only about on,e-third or one-half
developed, therefore, we are fairly
dormant people who should put forth
every effort to develop our brains
for a good purpose.
Wednesday night Dr. Grant ad- ;
dressed the students and faculty on
the subject, "Arabs, Jews and Lord
Balfour."
The key note of this address was !
that great inter-national problems
grow out of seemingly minor dis. !
putes.
In his introducton Dr. Grant gave
the main points of the Document
of Balfour which was not made pub
lic until after the World War. The
document staled that provisions should ]
be made for the national establish- |
inent of the Jews! the establishment I

MISS MARSH HERE ON
YOUNG FRIENDS WORK
Miss Elizabeth Marsh, the secre- !
tary of the Young Friend's Board,:
whose permanent headquarters are in
Richmond Indiana, returned to Giul
ford College, Saturday, February 6,
for a few days. She is visiting the
Young Friends in different parts of
North Carolina.
The message Miss Marsh brought
to the Sunday School. Sunday morn,
ing was especially for Friends, and
those interested in their activities.
She outlined the work of the Five Years ,
Meeting and the work of the thirteen
Yearly Meetings. The Young Friends' ;
Board consists of five members and
on the working staff in the office
at Richmond, Indiana, there are fif
teen members. The next annual
meeting of the Board will be held (
next December at Philadephia.
Miss Marsh gave different phases
of the ambitions that have been at
tained through the work of the
Young Friends' of each meeting. These
accomplishments were acquired
through the work of the Christian
Endeavores, Missions, Stewardship,
and Peace Committees. "The lack
of interest in Christian Endeavor work
from the observations T have made,"
said Miss Marsh. "Is due to programs
becoming stereotyped."
The final requests of the visiting
secretary to the Young Friends here
were: for tlieni to be real Christians,
to build up a spiritual foundation
and to take the business of being a |
Friend seriously.

STUDENTS OF MR. WHITE
APPEAR INVOICE RECITAL
Saturday evening, February 6, the
students of James Westley White en
tertained a large audience in Mem
orial Hall with the annual vocal
recital. Each student showed the
result of hard study in tone produc
tion and diction, and the ease with
which they sang was most effective.
The evening's program was proof
enough that Mr. White will have no
I trouble in carrying out his desire to
give the "Chimes of Normandy" as
the spring pera. Those who sang
I showed much dramatic ability as well
ias merely the ability to sing. Special
mention should be made of Chandog
: Kimrev who interpreted her songs
exceptionally well, especially Ward
j Stephen's "Where Roses Blow." She
j was closely followed by Elwood Peele.

' audience with the interpretation of
"White Ships" by Frank Gray. Also
Sam Keen Jr. gave pleasingly, L. S.
Strickland's negro song, "M'h Lindy

A great part of the success of thr
recital is due to the accompanying of

ENTERTAIN APPRECIATIVE
AUDIENCE MONDAY NIGHT
Mondav night, the Ist of February. 1
Guilford students and rommunity \
neonle crowded Memorial Hall to
hear a program of diversified music
•riven by the "Normandy Singers and
Bell Ringers".
The program was opened by a quar
tet number, "On The Sea", which
was sunerhlv sung. At many inter,
vals throughout the program they
sang pieces ranging from religious to
popular music and negro selections.
Every man of the company had a
•rood voice and was well fitted for his
part. As a special bell number they
nlayed "A Sunday Morning in Eon j
don", a musical fantasia composed of
eeverals hvmns and distant chimes. 1
Tn some of the selection hymns they
alternately played te hells and sang.
This gave a striking effect through
conrast. Asother special feature of •
the program was a violin, trumpet and
piano trio. Tibs was a rare arange- i
ment of instruments, and its unique- ;
ness took with the audience.
At no time in the program did they
plav the hells long enough in a
stretch tn make if monotonous. This
nrogram as a whole was so cosmopo
lian in its makeup that both the ap
preciators of classical and popular
types of music spent en enjoyable ,
evening.

My Dear Sir:—l have just order

Quaker Team Upsets Dope By
Outclassing Duke 35-30
And Defeating Wake
Forest 23-21
SMITH—FERRELL STAR
Lose tot Salisbury "¥" Lenoir -Rhyne
and Davidson
The Guilford College basketball
team has finally got down to business
and it acheived appreciable results
in last week's schedule of games.
The Quaker Warriors stalked the
Blue Devils in their home wigwams
Monday night and came away with
the scalp of this member of the '"Big
, Five." The score was 35 to 30 in
Guilford's favor. Not satisfied with
their collection of "Blue Devils" hair,
the Quakers went gunning for some
Deacon's hats at Wake Forest. Here
they got used up rather roughly but
came away victors by the score of
22 to 21. In the latter end of the
week's schedule, however, the team
met with reverses and lost to Salis
bury Y. M. C. A. 31 to 25. to Lenoir-
Rhyne 18 to 12, and to Davidson 38
to 23.
WIN OVER DUKE
i For the first time in many years
! Guilford College defeated Duke Uni
versity last Monday night. The
Quakers started and landed in whirl
wind fashion, completely out playing
the Duke team. The final score was
35 to 30. The Guilford team played
a superior brand of basketball through
out the game and never for a single
time was the Duke team ahead.
Starting a fast and aggressive game
it was fully five minutes before Duke
made a point. The Duke team be
wildered by the spread of the Guil
ford forwards played a ragged and
hopeless game. Smith and Ferrell,
Guilford forwards, raced down the
court time after time to place the
ball in the magic hoop. The Guil
i ford guards, Coltrane, and Tew, held
| the Methodist forwards practically
I helpless. Moore played a fast and
| smooth game and was second highest
I scorer.
Bullock, Duke's star forward got
into the game late but registered
| twelve points. He, alone, was the
shining light for Duke.
I In foul shooting Guilford out
j classed their opponents, shooting 10
i out of 15 chances, while Duke scored
' only 6 out of 18.
Duke used numerous substitutes but
all to no avail, for the game was
| Guilford's from start to finish.
WAKE FOREST DEFEATED
The Guilford basket ball team
fresh from a victory over Duke Univer
sity beat Wake Forest Tuesday night
by the score of 22-21.
A feat that has not been accom
plished by Guilford in several years
was made possible, by the superior
brand of basketball played by the
I Quakers.
The Guilfordians took advantage
