DR. HENRY HODGKIN
INTERNATIONALLY
KNOWN VISITS US
He Is Medical Missionary Lec
turer—Educator Is
Noted Quaker.
HEAD OF "PENDLE HILL"
Mr. and Mrs. Hodgkin Are Spending
Week Speaking—and Conferring
With Various Students.
Dr. Henry Hodgkin is internationally
known as a lecturer, educator, and
medical missionary. His years of serv
ice evidence his wide range of inter
ests, and his love of sharing with his
fellow men a splendid ability in the
fields of science and thought.
Dr. Hodgkin studied at King's Col
lege, Cambridge University, and, after
post-graduate work there, received liis
degree in medicine from London Uni
versity. Soon after his marriage the
first trip to China was made. During
this time, 1905-10, he assisted in found
ing the University of West China, and
did medical mission work. He was
later appointed Secretary of the Friends
Service Council. During the war Dr.
Hodgkin was active in peace propaga
tion, being affiliated with the Fellow
ship of Reconciliation. Then, anxious
to be in active service again, he re
turned to China in 1920. With a virtual
home in China, he worked in Japan and
outlying districts.
The call to America came to Dr.
Hodgkin while in Japan. As he said:
"I was there in Japan, my home in
China, my citizenship in England, and
a call came from America." The task
he faces is the directorship of the grad
uate school, Pen die Hill. The romance
of the name, "Pendle Hill," is one of
George Fox.
Fox recounts in his diary of the climb
on Pendle Hill. It, was steep and high,
but when he reached the top he saw
"the sea breaking on Lancashire" and
"a great people gathered." As he went
down he found a spring of refreshing
water and so he refreshed himself for
entering into new work for his Lord.
This vision remains as a spiritual pos
session with us, and the name was se
lected for an experiment in Quaker
life and thought. Fox believed many
people were awaiting the message that
had come to him, and so as he tried —so
shall this group "climb that steep as
cent that leads to vision. We must
climb to the point where we can see
the problems of today, and when we
have found them we shall attempt to
think out together the things that are
perplexing the thinkers of the age."
Pendle Hill is, in reality, an out
growth of Woodbrook, in England.
Woodbrook has developed into eight
schools —each of which are interested
in one particular work. The groups
often meet together and in the spirit
of fellowship discuss their work. The

SUBSCRIPTION CAMPAIGN
UPHELD BY STUDENTS
The drive for subscriptions to the
Guilfordian has been going on with a
feverish ardor. A system has been
worked by by means of which students
are canvassed and re-canvassed. The
student body should be commended for
their hearty support in the effort to
keep the Guilfordian from the quick
sands of financial bankruptcy. This
heartens the staff and they are putting
out a bigger and better college paper.
Tf you have neglected to lend your sup
port do so immediately.
Gy THE
GUILFORDIAN
HIGHEST HONORS IN
SCHOLARSHIP ARE
NOW RECOGNIZED
Upper Ten Per of Each Class
Are Not Required to
Attend Classes.
FIRST G. C. HONOR ROLL
Three Seniors, Three Juniors, Seven
Sophomores, Eleven Freshmen,
Make Up the List.
Among the achievements that Guil
ford holds highest is attainment in
scholarship. Extra-curricula activities
and the extent to which each student
may participate in them are determined
by the grades made in classroom work.
Any student that represents the col
lege in athletics, debating, or singing
holds the honor on the basis of a spe
cific amount of work satisfactorily com
pleted. However, up to this time, hon
orable mention and scholarships offered
to the ones making the highest grades
have been the rewards that could be
obtained.
The most recent incentive to those
faking good grades has been made by
the faculty in the form of an honor
roll. The regulations governing the
honor roll are these:
1. There shall be an honor roll es
tablished in the college.
2. Those eligible to the honor roll
shall be the upper 10 per cent of the
freshman, sophomore, junior, and sen
ior classes —however, no freshman may
be admitted to the privileges of the
roll until the end of the freshman year.
3. Those on the honor roll shall not
he required to attend classes or he held
for daily preparation, hut shall be re
quired to take quarter and semester ex
aminations.
4. Seniors who have been on the honor
roll five consecutive semesters shall be
exempt from their final semester exam
inations.
At present those eligible for the
honor roll are: Seniors —Mary Ellen
Lassitcr, Rembert Patrick, Sallie Belle
Best; Juniors —Isabella Jinnette, Mabel
Ingold, Paul Tew; Sophomores —Pearle
Kimrey, Margaret Warner, Murray
Johnson, Wilber Braxton, Dorothy
Wolff, Jean Cochran, Brodie Money;
freshmen —Ruth Hiller, Edith Swain,
Rosalind Newlin, David Parsons, Jewell
Conrad, Sarah Davis, Mary E. Camp,
Mary Richardson, Carlysle Hackney,
Mary Cannon, Mary K. Booker.
DEAN TRUEBLOOD CAN
SEE THE OTHER SIDE
Says That While Advocating Peace One
Should See the Militarists' View
Point Also.
Dean Elton Trueblood, speaking in
chapel March sth, presented to the stu
dent body a Utopian side of war, which
has been badly neglected in the past
by our chapel speakers. "Those who
helieve in militarism," he assured us,
"have their reasons for doing so, al
though all of us may not agree with
them."
The Dean, who is our only campus
philosopher, and who yet asserts that
he uses good sense, stated that an edu
cated person is one who can understand
without believing. Thus if we meet
these requirements the militarists' argu
ment, even if we do not agree with
them, does not affect us in any way.
There is a side to militarism which
the speaker felt that for those deeply
interested it furnishes at least a talk

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., MARCH 14, 1930
DOLLY P. MADISON
MARKER UNVEILED
Erected by the Guilford Battle
ground and Alexander
Martin Chapters.
MANY STUDENTS ATTEND
Crowds, including members of the
Daughters of the American Revolution,
the students and faculty of Guilford
College, the students of Guilford High
School, many community spectators,
and cameramen, flocked to see the "Un
veiling of the Dolly Madison Marker,"
which took place in front of what is said
to be Dolly Madison's birthplace and
which is near Guilford College on the
Friendly Road in Guilford County, on
the afternoon of March 7, 1930, at 3
o'clock.
After the onlookers had gathered and
everyone had taken his place, the bu
gle call was sounded by the four boy
scouts who were present, there being
two to represent each of the two Chap
ters of the D. A. R. represented. At the
bugle call Little Misses Garnette Hin
shaw and Maude Sapp Carraway,
dressed in the colonial style, stepped
forward and took their places beside
the marker. One of these little girls
represented the Guilford Battleground
Chapter of Greensboro, while the other
one represented the Martin Alexander
Chapter of High Point.
As the scouts played "To the Colors,"
the American flag which draped over
the Memorial was slowly raised until
it waved over it. 'When the flag was
raised it revealed the following inscrip
tion, on a heavy bronze plate, which
was set in the large stone:
Birthplace of Dolly Madison
111 a house which stood back of this
marker was born "Ye 20 of ye 5 mo.,
1768," Dolly Payne, who became the
wife of James Madison, fourth presi
dent of the IT. S. (New Garden

standing Features.
LOCAL TALENT REVEALED
The student recital Sunday afternoon
in Memorial Hall gave evidence of
local talent, and of the progress that
is being made by the piano and voice
students here on the campus.
The vocal numbers by Nettie Rayle
and Glen Robertson were outstanding
features of the program. Also, the
ability shown by Anne Naome and
Richard Binford to play the violin and
cello was commendable.

Received by All Students
Euphonians Home

give its annual home concert Sat
urday night, March 15. The pro
gram consists of varied Glee Club
numbers, trios, vocal solos, piano
solos, readings and special features.
If you would care to get away from
all that is real and wish to slip
away where sea nymphs beckon and
fairy pipers play, then this is your
chance. A very large attendance is
anticipated.
GUILFORD DEBATES
WERE HELD FRIDAY
Our Affirmative Loses to High
Point—While Lenior-Rhyne
Defeats Our Negative.
OUTCOME DISAPPOINTS
Guilford was unsuccessful 111 Loth de
bates Friday night. Murphy and Beach
lost out at Lenoir-Rhyne where they
nobly upheld the negative side of the
disarmament query. Though forceful,
their argument did not avail to win
the ballots.
Blair and Harper, staging a heroic
battle on the home grounds, were not
more successful. High Point presented
an eloquent and powerful defense upon
the negative. Blair's argument was
carefully prepared and well given. It
showed an accuracy in detail and a
thorough knowledge of the field. Harper,
especially powerful in rebuttal, made a
gallant effort to refute his opponents'
well directed onslaughts.
There was a deep silnce while the
judges rendered their decision. It was
evident that the student body was di
vided as to the ultimatum. It was ren
dered in favor of High Point, negative.
GIRLS GLEE CLUB GO
TO GIBSONVILLE H. S.
First Concert of the Year Successful;
Careful Preparation Shown—Mrs.
Noah Directs.
On Friday night, March 7th, the Eu
phouians made the first public ap
pearance of this year. The people of
Gibsonville came for them, and gave
them a royal reception at their high
school. There was not a large audi
ence; hut they showed their apprecia
tion for the numbers given by the Glee
dull with hearty cheers, as well as
words of congratulation after the pro-
gram.
Naturally every member of the club
was a bit apprehensive for tlie outcome
of their first public concert of the sea
son. Even Mrs. Noah, although she
thought no one guessed her fears, quite
plainly was wondering if the girls
would live up to her hopes for them.
This little anxiety of the group as a
whole probably helped to put tlie force
and pep behind each part that made
it the success it was. But this is only
a small part of the real reason for the
good performance; for each of the
young women went into the work with
the idea of making her individual share
in the program help to put it at the
top in Glee Club concerts. It is safe
to say that the club lias reached the
goal. Its members are justified in feel
ing, after the program at Gibsonville,
that they are well repaid for their long
and faithful labor.

PRIZES AWARDED
Old Time Singing "Skewl" Wins
First Prize—"Upsetting
Exercises"—Second.
JUDGES IN GALA COSTUME
Podunk Orchestra Makes First Debut
Before Audience of Students
and Community Polk.
Saturday night was "stunt" night. The
program was, by all accounts, a great
success, with the first number rendered
by the Podunk orchestra. Girls decked
out in frilled sun-bonnets to match
their variously-colored dresses, and the
leading male podunk sporting a youth
ful costume which was abviously a relic
of slimmer-silhouette days, played sev
eral semi-harmonious selections.
Next, Ye Old Tyme Singing Skewl,
which drew a merited first prize, held
a very important meeting, and inci
dentally burned much midnight oil, gro
tesque, old-fashioned gowns and hats
of various hues—all more or less (most
ly more!) frilled, furbelowed, and out
rageously Victorian, if not actually me
dival, as to style—were worn by all the
ladies. All the members—men, women
and cats —gave proof to an admiring
audience that no vocal chords are quite
destitute of musical possibilities, either
hidden or apparent.
When the assembly of hearers had
sufficiently recovered they were next
favored by a skit entitled ''Direct Ac
tion," and given by the Minnesingers
and Euphonians. The piece well de
served its name, for a pseudo Dr. Per
isho gave a pseudo Professor Purdom
a timely lecture on the wiles of wom
en ; but the lecturer, it appeared from
later developments, took not the warn
ing to heart, and consequently got him
self into great difficulty and embarrass
ment.
Next, young Miss Ruth Thomas and
Mr. Bowman Stafford as Rachel and
Reuben, did a charming song and dance,
which was appreciated not only by the
audience but also by the judges who
conferred upon the pair the fourth
prize.
Followed a special session of the
Woman's Student Council called for
the express purpose of investigating
certain alarming reports of the miscon
duct of one Elton Trueblood. The cul
prit, pale and with hang-dog air, was
given a chance to speak for himself,
and explain as best he might his shock
ing and offensive behavior of late. The
evidence, however, was too overwhelm
iiigly conclusive of the defendant's
guilt, and the council rendered a ver
dict of two weeks' exile from the din
ing room.
"Who's Who" was a great thriller.
Mr. Turner seemed greatly perturbed
about the carelessness of a certain stu
dent who, in cleaning up the office, left
a litter of paper on the floor instead
of in the waste-paper basket. Mrs.
Levering tried to impress her "girlies"
with the absolute need for utilizing all
parts of tlie staff of life, bark included;
while Mrs. Andrews and Miss Haviland
did faithful duty on their respective
bents at Founders Hall. Miss Gilbert
gladdened the hearts of her pupils
with another of her characteristic li
brary-reference assignments, while Pan
coast and his Palm Beach outfit burst
in full glory upon the eyes of his Math
students. Mr. McOracken while ten
derly stroking his medulla oblongata,
also shone. Mrs. Max Noah in spite
of the horrible agony she was apparent
ly suffering from some unlocated pain,
