MANY IMPROVEMENTS
MADE ON THE CAMPUS
Water System Has Been Improved and
New Basement Dug Un
der Cox Hall.
MANY WALKS ARE TOP-SOILED
During the past summer the college
has been doing considerable work on
the campus and repairing the buildings.
Among the many things which have
already been completed and are under
way, besides all the buildings having
been repaired, Mr. Turner, the new busi
ness manager, is having a new base
ment dug under Cox Hall. Also the
building of a long terrace at the west
■end of Founders Hall will soon be com
pleted.
The majority of the students are be
lieving that the campus has been con
verted into a grave yard in places, due
to the appearance of little red mounds
and torn up soil, but they probably
don't know that the college water sys
tem and sewerage system have both
been remodeled or newly built.
Mr. Turner has a very full schedule
•of work for the coming year, one of
the important things being the top
soiling of the walks and drives of the
campus. There is also to be a new
heating system installed in President
Binford's home as well as one in the
other college cottages.
AN APPEAL TO
ALUMNI
Guilford College has just wit
nessed one of the most auspicious
openings in all the illustrious years
of her history. Many improve
ments have been made, and addi
tions to her material plant are nu
merous. New students have come
in large numbers to secure the
benefit of her enlarged resources.
The feeling is general about the
campus that this year will prove
to be the very best that Old Guil
ford has ever enjoyed.
The staff of THE GUILFORDIAN
believes that our College paper
should keep pace with the ad
vancement of which we see evi
dences all about us. It is their de
sire to give GUILFORDIAN readers
this year the best newspaper they
have ever had. At considerable in
crease of cost the paper has been
enlarged and, we hope, improved.
But our paper must not be con
sidered the concern of the editorial
and business staffs alone: its pur
pose is to serve the best interests
of Alma Mater. To that end it de
serves and needs the support of all
who hold in their hearts a warm
spot for Old Guilford.
We present this first issue with
apology, for it was of necessity
prepared in haste. But more and
better things are in store for our
readers, and we do not wish that
anyone who has an interest in the
advancement of Guilford should
miss these good things.

THREE NEW COURSES
IN ECONOMICS GIVEN
Class In Debating Will Be Taught By
Prof. George Wilson, Head of
English Department.
GENERAL MANAGEMENT COURSE
It is with much enthusiasm that the
old as well as the new students look
over the new curriculum. There are
being offered among the courses one of
especial interest. This course in "gen
eral management" deals primarily with
special fields as factory management,
employment management, farm man
agement. Mr. P. Evans Coleman, of
New York City, Professor of Economies
and Business will have charge of this
department.
It is probable that the course in de
bating, which is usually offered in the
spring term, will be reversed to the
fall term. This change will benefit
those taking part in the fall debates.
Professor George P. Wilson, who heads
the English department, will have
charge of this debating class.

Young Man —I really couldn't say
Irate Father—What! You can't say?
Young man—No, sir; you see, sir,
I promised her I wouldn't tell.
THE GUILFORDIAN
GUILFORDIAN OFFICE
HAS HOUSE CLEANING
Old Green Burlap Has Been Cast Into
Junk Pile and Pictures
Rearranged.
Even in the newspaper world revolu
tion is common. For the first time in
several years the Guilfordian Room
went through the strange process of
house cleaning day. The old green
burlap that has stood the weather for
so many years was savagely torn away
and the two side benches which have
heretofore been used for a doormat
rather than for seating purposes, were
cast into the wood pile. In their place
three chairs were substituted. The pic
tures that had been hanging in zig
zag fashion were placed artistically on
the wall. The walls have been brushed
and the window cleaned and several
waste baskets full of old papers were
discarded as trash.
Mr. Turner, the new Business Mana
ge", has promised to have a brighter
light with a reflector installed soon.
This will give a more uniform light
that will enable more to work around
the table without strained eyes.
With the new Yale lock that has
been attached to the door it is hoped
that the Guilfordian room will be kept
in a tidy condition and will be used
more for business and less for private
social gatherings.
An acre of performance is worth a
world of promise.

for transporting coal from mines to river barges. Electric motors operate this conveyor.
90,000 Wheelbarrows in one hand
The General Electric Company
has devoted years of study to
material-handling and trans
portation problems. In its own
vast plants the handling and
moving of materials and prod
ucts have been simplified to
the highest degree, thus provid
ing demonstration of
the value of electricity.
A series of G-E advertisements
showing what electricity is
doing in many fields will be

MURRAY WHITE, Student Representative
A button is pressed. An electric motor goes
to work, followed by another and still others
until twenty sections of a belt conveyor
four miles long are in operation!
Through an abandoned mine runs this giant
wheelbarrow carrying nine thousand tons
of coal per day in a steady stream from the
miners to the coal barges on the Monon
gahela River. One man controls it with no
more effort or concern than pressing a
switch button. Electricity pushes it.
Not only conveyor belts of all sizes, shapes
and kinds, but also hoists, tractors, cranes,
elevators, stackers, locomotives, and other
material-handling equipment have gained
flexibility, dependability, and ease of control
through electric motorization.
Moving things in one way or another is the
educated man's work in life. And electricity,
ever at his command, is moving more and
still more of the things which move this
new world of ours.
