VOLUME XIII
Without Miss Louise The
College Will Seem Bleak
ENJOYING A REST
Returning Students Feel the
Loss of Beloved Teacher
From Faculty List.
PRESIDENT PAYS TRIBUTE
With the opening of school the usual
necessities were apparently present, but
one obvious one was missed by all—
the smile of welcome and useful ad
vice which has so long been offered by
Miss Louise Osborne.
It is to express our benevolent grati
tude that the Guilfordian wishes to
heartily endorse this tribute of love
and sincere remembrance paid to her,
who for thirty-four years has served
Guilford College as Dean of Women.
(Taken from a report made by Dr.
Binfold in the 1920 N. C. Yearly-Meet
ing Minutes.)
"We wish to record at this time our
appreciation of the long and faithful
service of H. Louise Osborne as Dean of
Women. She has been connected with
the college since 1892 and has given her
life to her work in a most unselfish
way. Her sympathetic devotion to the
young women of the college and her
untiring efforts to protect and guide
them into a wholesome way of life
have been marked by unusual success.
The young, men and women who have
crime under the influence of her spirit
and have received the benefit of her
koen purtiiiGirt i ifcii siu\c gunc out
into the world and lived lives that are
a real tribute to her genius and her
personal power. In devotion to her
work and in efficiency in carrying out
the purposes of the institution, we have
not had a more valuable member of the
faculty. We regret that failing
strength makes it necessary .for her to
withdraw from the active service as
the Dean of Women, but we are happy
to be assured that her influence will re
main with us. In the love of our stu
dents, in the incidents that our grad
uates like to recall, in the traditions,
and spirit of the college Miss Osborne
continues to hold a central place."
Miss Louise, as she was called by the
students, graduated from Earlham Col
lege in Richmond, Indiana, with the
class of 1887. From this time until she
came to Guilford College, she taught in
schools in Indiana and Illinois. These
thirty-four years Miss Louise has serv
ed at this institution not only as Dean
of Women, but as Professor of Latin.
Through her motherly disposition she
has won for herself that deep feeling of
love and devotion in the hearts, not
only of the students, but of all who
knew her.
COLLEGE LOSES SEVERAL

CO-EDS RETURNING WITH
FONDEST ANTICIPATION
Friendships Formed Last Year Are
Being Renewed—Shy Maidenly
Glances Are Not Ignored.
FACULTY MEMBERS NOT IMMUNE
The making of new acquaintances
and the renewing of old ones has af
forded an interesting spectacle at the
opening of school this fall as both new
uHii aid students Were arriving.
A general sound of laughter and
words of greeting and welcome filled
and suddenly put new life into the
quiet atmosphere of the campus. Upon
first arriving, naturally the new stu
dents were a bit shy. For awhile they
preferred grouping themselves into two
groups, the boys in one corner each
trying to conceal himself with the ex
ception of one eye, and the girls who
formed the other group were by no
means unsuccessful in attracting the
attention of the bashful boys. As soon
as a more adventurous boy found cour
age enough to cast a glance across "no
man's land" to the other group, the
others began to try it, as each glance
brought a broad maidenly smile in re
turn. Finally all shyness was forgotten
and the groups of students gradually
united into one big group.
After brief discussions of the closing
summer vacation the overjoyed couples
and groups began talking over with one
another their work for the coming year.
In all the excitement of the. opening
of school, old friendship soon became
so thoroughly renewed that it almost
entirely slipped the minds of some that
rules and regulations concerning cam
pus life still exist at Guilford. But
fortunately, there were a few authori
ties on the campus who were able to re
mind the forgetful ones.
This joyous game of making ac
quaintances was not among the stu
dents alone. The faculty too, is playing
a very important part in this game.
The several new members of the fac
ulty, as well as old, could scarcely be
recognized from the students so far
as personal appearance is concerned,
were it not for the fact that some of
them are able through careful efforts,
to grow and cultivate a very respect
able little mustache. Others who do
not prefer stay-comb, not the bald
headed style, take great pride in the
permanent wave or the shingle bob.
So it may readily be seen that the
faculty, so far as the social part of
the campus life is concerned, is not a
separate group from the student body
but each one is as a student, a member
of the great Guilford family.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., SEPTEMBER 15, 1926
ALMOST A HUNDRED
FRESHIES ON CAMPUS
FOR FRESHMAN WEEK
Spend the Time Getting Ac
quainted and Hearing In
structive Lectures.
HAVE A HIKE ON SUNDAY
Freshm'aii Week, which started only
last year, was such a great success that
a more extensive program was mapped
out for this year. Friday, 10, was the
date set for the Freshmen registration
and to date nearly 90 new members
have matriculated, 42 girls and a few
"more boys. Twenty more freshmen are
lexpected to enter later.
Friday 10, a regular daily program
was followed, consisting of a mass
meeting, class periods'for assignments
and games. Friday evening the new ar
rivals gathered on Founders Porch to
hear a lecture by Dr. Hobbs.
After a song and yell rehearsal Sat
urday evening the Freshmen went to
Memorial Hall to hear lectures by Sam
uel Haworth and Dr. Binford.
Mr. Haworth compared both men ant 1
women to the grain and fruits of the
earth, saying that there are "firsts''
and "seconds" among human beings
just as in wheat or apples. A man oi
woman must meet the following re
quirements to be qualified in the "firsl
class."
1. They must haA'e strong, clean,
healthy, efficiently trained bodies.
2. They must read things that are
worth reading and remember them.
3. They must have judgement that
can carefully distinguish between right
and wrong.
4. They must have just and due con
sideration of the rights and creeds of
others.
Dr. Binfold in his lecture emphasized
the importance of mastering each daily
lesson.
Outside activities, although an essen
tial part of a successful college career
should not be placed before daily les
sons.

Amid Scenes of Wild Revelry and Merrymaking
Returning Sophomores Welcome New Freshmen
The Quaker silence of Guilford Col
lege was broken last Thursday and Fri
day by the arrival of a number of
Freshmen in quest of higher learning.
Different members of the Y. M. and Y.
W. Cabinets were present to meet all
trains lest some of the new seekers of
knowledge might, by mistake, pass by
unheeded. The stream continued to
swell until by Friday night over 80 new
students had arrived. Then there was
a mad rush to meet roommates, unpack
trunks and settle down to college life.
Friday was registration day. All
Freshmen were given a card to fill out
telling their name, age, schools attend
ed, etc. After answering a number of
such questions the new students retired
to their various places of abode.
By Monday morning the new stu
dents were beginning to feel at hoirte.
Practically all of them were fast be
coming collegiate; they could use sev
eral campus expressions, with ease, im
itate the different professors and talk
with a great deal of enlightenment
about college courses. There was noth
ing else to be desired.
Monday morning saw the arrival of
the old students who walked in and
seemed to take everything in charge.
It was rumored throughout the Fresh
man ranks that the dr.eaded Sophs had
SEVEN NEW FACULTY

Guilford College will have several
new faculty members for the year

Economics and Sociology from the Uni
versity of Chicago, will head the de
partment of Economics and Business.
The piano department has secured
Miss E. Bertha Yocum who is an un
usually talented pupil of Leschetizky
Before coming south, Miss Yocum won
the reputation of being one of the
foremost exponents of Leschetizky in
Philadelphia and New York. Her re
gard in the South has placed her in
the front rank, both as a teacher and
pianist. She has taught in Europe
and is well qualified both musically
and as a pedagogue.
Dr. Charles N. Ott of Oskaloosa, lowa
will head the Chemistry Department
this year. Dr. Ott is a graduate of
Penn College and was head of the
Chemistry department there last year
He received his Doctor's degree from
the State University of lowa.
Due to the absence of Miss Louise
Osborne, Miss Gladys Tapley of Wash
ington, D. C. will be Dean of Women
She will also teach Latin.
The vacancy in the history depart
ment will be filled by Henry T. Tins

summer's work of having his doctor's de
gree from Columbia, will be Business

practically the same as last year.
returned. New students who had been
like roaring lions among their own fel
low classmates now became as meek as
lambs and permitted the merrymaking
Sophomores to welcome them to Guil
ford ; the place which only a few hours
before had been a freshman domain.
Indeed, by the time the shades of night
had begun to fall upon the Guilford
campus, the Freshmen were willing to
join with the Preacher who said, "Van
ity of vanities; all is vanity. What pro :
ifft hath a man of all his labour which
he taketh under the sun?"

OPTIMISM PREVAILS
OVER THE FOOTBALL
SQUAD AT GUILFORD
Coach Doak is Pleased With
Early Try-Outs of His
Fall Material.
SOME VETERANS RETURN
With a large number of letter men,
and several of last year's reserves, to
gether with the splendid new material
that has arrived in camp, Coach Robert
Doak is highly pleased with the pros
pects of a good football season for
Guilford college in the 1926 grid cam
paign.
Two practices daily have been on the
program since the first drill was held,
and every man is fast becoming hard
ened and is swiftly introduced to the
system used by Coach Doak.
A few vacancies were left in posi
tions from last year due to graduation.
But the team will probably be built
around Captain Murray White, full
back ; Ray Parrish, end; Lindley and
Tew, tackles; Hoyle, guard; Ebert,
guard; Robertson, halfback; Kimrey,
quarterback; and Marshall and Triv
ette, substitutes last year will probably
have important places on this year's
squad.
The team will keenly feel the loss
of "Kinky" Hendriekson, and "Chunk
um" Wp -ick, bu. Frazier Edwards,
substitute center last year is fast work
ing into sha o a-ul will probably be
ready to ta'te 1 .-rrick's place at cen
ter.
! i ) ' ' J
Arthur Hug.ies, brother of "Red"
Hughes and a star tackle on the Oak
Ridge eleven last year is one of the
most promising prospects from the new
material. Moon, backfield star at Ne
braska Central last year, and Harold
Cox, a lineman from Alexandra high
school, Ed Moore, a 230 pounder from
Liberty high school, Bryce Neeee, from
Graham high school, Richardson, from
Pomona high school at present seem to
stand the best chances of making plac
es on the first squad out of the first
year men. Stanley Moore, star basket
ball center is working hard for a place
and he is one of the swiftest men on
the field. There are also a number of
good athletes who came from high
schools where they do not play football
who bid fare to develop into good sub
stitutes in a few weeks.
SCOTT PARKER ELECTED
MANAGER GUILFORDIAN
Succeeds Carey Reece, Who Did Not
Return For This Year's Work.
He Scouts For Ads.
A. Scott Parker, Jr., of High Point,
a Westtown graduate and this year a
sophomore at Guilford, officially assum
ed the responsibility as business mana
ger of the Guilfordian during the sum
mer. Carey Reese, who was elected to
this position last spring found it im
possible to serve and Mr. Parker was
immediately authorized to take over
the work.
The newly elected manager has ex
hibited considerable talent along this
line. The success of last year's Fresh
man basket ball team was due chiefly
to his management. With this exper
ience together with the fact that he is
a natural born business man, the Guil
fordian expects to have a successful fin
ancial year.
Mr. Parker has already sold enough
ads to insure several publications and
hopes to be able to finance a six page
issue onee a month. He also plans t.o
make a campaign for a larger subscrip
tion list.
