The hike to the (J nil ford Battleground
Saturday was a noteworthy success.
The group of hikers assembled in front
of Founders llall at twelve-thirty, and
after a few preliminaries, such as tak
ing snapshots and finding agreeable
partners, the party started off, taking
the route through the timber, as it was
the shorter one. At first the group ap
peared to be playing "Last Couple Out,"
but after the first mile or so one bad
no trouble at all in keeping up. llad
it not even been for the battleground
itself the day would have been well
spent merely by giving the students
such an excellent opportunity to walk
along the rustic little timber road,
which added especially to the romantic
spirit because of the time of year and
general surroundings.
The trip over took approximately an
hour an a half. Upon arriving, every
one proceeded to quench his thirst,
which may or may not have been done,
but at least the well was pumped dry
in the attempt. The entire group then
looked over the grounds, which were
very nearly perfect, both as to plan
and appearance. The older students
found a great deal of pleasure in the
visit, but of course it was of especial
enjoyment to those who were there for
the first time.
By three-thirty everyone had his cu
riosity satisfied, so the crowd gathered
near the auditorium to partake of some
much-needed nourishment. According
R> Dr. Perisho, the coffee was none too
good, but most everyone doubted his
correctness, and according to the way

Although it was the first game of the
season, against a strong team, Coach
Crawford's charges made a very cred

be expected by the time the season gets

GOSPEL TEAM WORK
Rev. McFarland Urges Team
to Plan Extensive Visits to
Rural Churches
WORK WILL BEGIN SOON
Lewis McFarland, Evangelistic Super
intendent of the North Carolina Yearly
Meeting spoke in chapel September 29
concerning the reorganization of the
Gospel teams. He said in brief: "Last
year the gospel teams did a tremendous
amount of valuable work in the
Friends' centers. Many of the meet
ings have asked to have the gospel
teams return this year. I am very
anxious that the gospel teams should
lie reorganized again this year. They
help to draw the college and the mem
bers of the Yearly Meeting closer to
gether. I am especially anxious that
we should visit all the rural churches
within a radius of 60 miles of the col
lege this year. The rural churches send
Guilford the majority of her students
and we should do all we can for the
rural communities in return."
Under the supervision of Mr. Mt-Far
land and Rev. Joseph Peele the stu
dents of the college met at noon on

ERSKINE GAME
Guilford and its strongest opponent,
namely, Erskine, will battle Saturday,
October 8. at Gastonia. This team is
the strongest on Guilford's schedule,
and Coach Crawford is giving his team
a thorough work-out so as to give them
opposition.
Erskine team is being coached by
Doe Phillips, the great football man
of the South. This team held Furinan
111 to 0 and tied Wofford Erskine
is considered one of the best and most
smooth-working teams of South Caro
lina. However, Guilford is hoping to
give enough opposition to make the
game interesting and peppy.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 5, 1927
Campaign to Raise $620,000
Is Proposed
New System of Receiving Freshmen Girls Is
Marked by Sophomore-Freshman Hay-Ride
The Sophomore-Freshmen hay ride
marks the beginning of a new system
of receiving the freshmen girls at Guil
ford college. This was used to demon
strate to the new gills that college is
a place where every one should feel at
home, instead of a place where all the
students must submit to every wish and
whim of the sophomores and upper
classmen.
After a formal ceremony, which took
place before the big bonfire, Mr. Haz
ing was brought forth in a black casket
and cremated. His ashes lay scattered
over the nearby fields as a standing
vow and promise that every young

Efforts of Coach Crawford and
Mrs. Andrews Result in the
Painting - of Gymnasium
FALL PROGRAM STARTED
The gymnasium has been rehabili
tated during the past two weeks expec
tant of the coming basketball season.
Since it is not very probable that a
new gym will he constructed any time
in the near future, it was found ad
visable to improve the condition of
the building. Due to the influence of
Mrs. Andrews, the physical education
director for the women, and Coach
Crawford, several essential improve
ments have taken place. The floor has
been reworked, and all rough or irregu
lar places removed. New goals and
back stops have been erected. The
walls have been painted a cream color,
up to the bottom of the windows, mak
ing the floor much lighter. A sus
pended platform has been constructed
upon the wall, near the center of the
floor, for the time and score keepers.
The lighting system has been improved,
and new guards have been placed over
the lights. The gym is now probably in
the best condition it has been in for
several years.
The classes in basketball and calis
thenics have already been formed and
the regular fall program started.
WED. CHAPEL PERIOD
FOR SILENT WORSHIP
Each Wednesday Morning This Meeting
is Conducted Strictly According
to Friends' Custom
According to the Friends' custom, Dr.
Binford has asked that the Wednesday
morning chapel periods be set aside for
"quiet worship." Every one enters
quietly and remains silent. If anyone
feels promted he may speak. This
meeting closes with the usual handshake
of fellowship.
On Wednesday morning Professor
Samuel Haworth made a few remarks 011
"Knowing God." Everybody prays, say
psychologists, however, many are uncon
scious of the fact. They do not have
any definite consciousness of God; yet
every person's prayers are their concep
tion of what God is. Even if many have
put Him out of their lives, they often
come to the place when they think of
Him in some manner. Everyone can
find in experience that God is a reality.
woman who has had the privilege of
entering Guilford college as a freshmen
will not be hazed. She will not be
asked to submit to a position of in
feriority ; she will not have to go
through with the many embarrassments
that hazing demands. On the other
hand these ashes signify that these
same young women will enter Guilford
with equal privileges. So with waves
of approval from the members of both
classes, hazing was finally and officially
abolished at Guilford college.
With a huge bonfire and plenty of
marshmallows to toast, and amid cheers
and singing, the evening ended.

meeting, Tuesday evening, when the
following officers were elected: Presi

There was no other business in par

discussed. The class decided to leave

The Simplicity and Meekness in the
Life of Christ the Basis of
The Talk Thursday
SUFFERING OF CHRIST PICTURED
The Rev. Milo Ilinkle, pastor of the
Asheboro Street Friends Church, of
Greensboro, in an address before the
student body in chapel Tuesday based
liis trend of thought on Bushnell's
widely reiul book, The Character of
Christ.
The climax to the various thoughts
brought out in the address was the sim
plicity and meekness in the life of
Christ, his godly ability to suffer calm
ly, without murmuring, without curs
ing those who inflicted the punishment.
"They thought that in killing Him they
had destroyed all; but ever since the
world has had to reckon with Ilim as
with 110 other man that ever lived."
Christ introduced, Rev. Mr. Ilinkle ex
plained, a new and beautiful concep
tion of au idealized life. "Ilis whole
life was one of tolerance and sympa
thy, of peace and love. lie introduced
the new truth that there is 110 honor
in inflicting pain and agony but only
in yielding meekly to those who seek to
harm and taking with a godly calm
the cruelties of life." The heroic suf
fering of Christ was depicted as fol

nor since; and all this He endured

The Meeting of the Official College
Board Was Featured By the Social
With the Faculty Members
The board of trustees, in joint ses
sion with the advisory committee and
representatives from the college fac
ulty, met here Saturday afternoon and
evening to further discuss and carry
on the improvement program which was
begun last spring. They also heard a
report from the endowment committee
recommending that a campaign to raise
.$020,000 endowment fund be under
taken.
The most important report of the
evening was that of Richard L. Hollo
wed, chairman of the buildings and
grounds committee. Mr. Hollowed gave
a detailed account of the many im
provements that have already been
made and those that are now near com
pletion. A boiler house of sufficient
capacity to hold an additional boiler
when necessary, so as to heat all the
buildings now on the campus and those
likely to be erected in the future from
one central heating plant is practically
completed. In addition to this, a new
laundry is being built. As an addendum
to the new boiler house, a brick smoke
stack with a concrete foundation stands
nearly a hundred feet in the air.
After making many repairs in Found
ers Hall, the committee directed its
attention to the remodeling of Arch
dale hall, one of the boys' dormitories.
The rooms in Archdale hall have all
been worked over, new floors have been
laid, new tile showers baths with toi
lets and lavatories have been installed
complete; the Archdale hot water sys

PERPLEXED BUT NOT IN
DESPAIR, SUNDAY TOPIC
"Perplexed, but not in Despair," was
the text of Rev. Peele's Sunday morn
ing sermon. These are the words of
Paul, found in the fourth chapter,
eighth verse of 11 Corinthians. Mr.
Peele's sermon in part follows:
"Paul was a man who overcame
many obstacles to bring the word of
God to the people. In many instances,
God helped Paul in time of need. God
has always been teaching that we must
depend on Him in time of need. Jesus
was a Saviour in perplexing circum
stances. Paul did not despair when
thrown in prison; he had faith in God.
"A struggle of some kind is necessary
for the building of a great character.
As examples of men who made good
under perplexing circumstances, let us.
consider Horace Greeley and Ben
jamin Franklin. A boy or girl who
does not succeed because of poverty,
would hardly be a success if he or she
were rich. No predicament is so great
that we cannot overcome it by God's
help."
He closed his sermon by reading
from \V. I). Barton 011 "Opportunity
and Occasions for Prayer."
