Alumni Day
June 2
VOLUME XVI
Monday, June 2, Named
Homecoming-Alumni Day
GIVE INVITATIONS
Mr. Hardy Carroll, President
of the Guilford College
Alumni Ass'n, Writes.
LUNCHEON IS SCHEDULED
All Old Students and Alumni Should
Meet on the Campus During
the Year of 1930.
As an additional plea for a large
representation for Alumni-llomeeoming
Day, Hardy Carroll sends his plea:
"Members of the Executive Commit
tee andthe Reception Committee of the
Guilford College Alumni Association
working jointly with college authori
ties have worked out a program for
Alumni Day at Commencement this
year, which, it is believed, will prove of
interest to alumni and old students of
Guilford and result in a large gather
ing of Guilfordians at the college on
Monday, June 2, Alumni Day.
After Commencement Exercises on
the morning of the above date, the
alumni and old students will gather for
luncheon, which will be followed by a
brief business session of the Associa
tion and an address by Hon. Joseph M.
Dixon, First Assistant Secretary of the
Interior, Washington, D. C. It is also
probable that Hon. David 11. Blair, and
other friends of the college will be
present to give brief messages.
Several former members of the Guil
ford faculty and the older members who
are still at the college, have been asked
to meet their old students in their re
respective classrooms, and this, several
of them have consented to do. This in
novation, coming as it will in the after
noon following the luncheon and meet
ing, will no doubt be of special inter
est to alumni and old students, and we
trust will bring many of them back to
the college.
Guilfordians, is it still not a fact as
it was when Wordsworth wrote:
"The world is too much with us; late
and soon,

LETTERS RECEIVED
FROM EX-FACULTY
Invitations Extended to Them
for Commencement Brings
Interesting Replies.
MANY DESIRE TO RETURN
Invitations have been mailed to about
20 former faculty-members requesting
their presence at the college on Alumni
Day, June 2nd. During the afternoon
plans have been made for the alumni
to meet the faculty members in class,
as of old, and socially.
Several interesting replies have been
received from which excerpts have been
taken:
Mrs. Robert N. Milam hopes to be
present, as do Mr. and Mrs. John
Downing. Dr. Binford will be on hand
to meet his former students. Although
he has not given the subject for dis
cussion, it will probably be on amoebas
or dinosaurs. Be prepared for any
question in biology or geology.
Mrs. Rusack says "it would indeed be
a pleasure for me to return to Guil
for for Alumni Day," but it is quite
impossible this year.
Dr. Gilbert Pearson says: "I wish
I could be with you, as I strongly feel
that this is the time when all Guilford

For several years Mrs. Martin had

Alumni-Homecoming Day, June 2, 1930
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C„ MAY 21, 1930
CENTENNIAL FUNDS
GROW AS FRIENDS
GLADLY RESPOND
Tne New York Evening Post
Aids Distributor of
Campaign News.
DAVIS IS PUBLICITY MAN
Movemufnt Is) Launched Among Stu
dents—More Than $6,000 Has
Been Subscribed.
Indications to date concerning the
progress of the Guilford College Cen
tennial Club for raising the college en
dowment are favorable. The enthusi
astic backers of the campaign are well
into the spirit of the movement, and
many worth-while results are antici
pated.
The Centennial committ held its
first meeting in August, 102/. This
committee was appointed from the
board of trustees, faculty members,
and alumni. But the Centennial Club,
for the maintenance of the college dur
ing its Centennial endowment and
building program, was organized this
past winter. A sponsoring committee in
New York City has taken the lead in
the movement.
The response from the outside has
been most gratifying. Th? interest in
Cuilford College and its centennial goal
has aroused comment among a wide
group of outsiders, who seem willing
to help the campaign—provided the
college does its part. Most of the fac
ulty has already subscribed and the
Junior class has shown enthusiasm by
setting a mark of one hundred dollars
to be contributed before 1937.
More than six thousand dollars has al
ready been contributed and the move
ment is gaing new friends.
Royal J. Davis, of New York City and
a former Guilford faculty member, is
the publicity manager and he recently
submitted an article discussing the
club. This has been reprinted in the
newspapers of North Carolina in an ef
fort to stimulate more local interest in
the plans of the college. He has done
much in New York and through the
New York Evening Post the club plans
are receiving beneficial advertising. Mr.
Davis, in speaking of the campaign,
said: "It is a deserving cause, if there
ever was one."
Arrival of "Quaker" Causes
Autographic Riots On Campus
"To those who sacrifice and strive to
help us rise, our Mothers, Fathers and
Guardians, we dedicate the 1930 Qua
ker."
That is the dedication of the new
Quaker, which came out Tuesday, May
13th. The fine spirit of the class of
1930, together with that of those repre
senting the student body who assisted
them in compiling the book, is shown
in these words. The thing that is so
often pushed into the background, or
even forgotten entirely—gratitude and
love for those to whom every one owns
most —is brought to light and given the
place it deserves.
The 1930 Quaker is entirely worthy
of its wonderful dedication. As is set
forth in the theme, the book has the
peculiar quality of combining the
quaintness of historical Guilford with
the new, fresh, buoyancy of present
day activities. The gold border of each
page, together with the division pages,
tell plainer than words of the rich
Notice! Alumni
Committees
The suggestion has been made that
all Alumni Committees plan to meet
on Saturday afternoon, May 31. It
has been planned to have joint
meetings of the committees with
corresponding committees of the
faculty and trustees on the after
noons before and after the supper.
These three groups meeting together
may have something to add to the
college seven-year.
The A Capella Choir gives its
home concert that evening and a
number of the committee members
will wish to hear the program of
Guilford's most outstanding musical
organization.

past, when Guilford College had its be
ginning. But on the pages is the mod
ern Guilford—the Guilford of 1930 .
The first pages of the book tell,
through pictures, the beauty of the cam
pus. Then there is a chance to get
acquainted with the faculty members.
After that everybody has a picture—
that is, almost everybody. It's easy to
tell who has and who has not by watch
ing them look at the Quaker for the
first time. If they have, they immedi
ately turn to that fortunate section in
the book they think it will most likely
be located, and with gasps and sighs
and shakes of the head, say it's a grand
book with good views.
An active Guilford—that is the story
the section portraying the part entitled
"Organizations" tells. The various
clubs and associations keep up the en
thusiasm and pep of the student body
in things other than school work. Be

EVOLUTION THEORY
PROVED BY ZATASIANS
Zays Entertain Clays With Program in
Which Old Maids Are Changed
to Sweet Young Things.
"In the. spring Zatasians' fancies
lightly turn to thoughts of receptions."
This fancy has became realized, for on
Friday night, May 16, 1930, the Zatasian
Literary Society entertained the Henry
Clay Literary Society at a delightful
social.
The regular meeting was held in Me
morial hall. In the absence of the
president, Annie Ray, Eunice Lindley
presided. At the opening, the marshall
of the girls' society, Elizabeth Edger
ton, escorted the members of the men's
society to the hall. The regular pro
cedure was followed and as a special
program several girls gave an "Old
Maids' Convention." Catherine Cox, in
all her dignity, as Sarah Peabody, was
president of the organization. Kathryu
Johnson, Martha Armfield, Mary Lin
ville, Argyle Elliott and Isabella Jin
nctte were members of this amusing
group of the gay 90's. Isabella Jinnette
acted as secretary and was in the act of
reading the minutes of the preceding
meeting when a small, harmless, inno
cent little mouse interrupted her with
a slight squeal. After much excite
ment the "girls" became seated again
and the program proceeded. While
Kathryu Johnson was reading some of
her love letters to one of her numerous
sweethearts of her younger days, a
