Two years ago a commission of forty-three men was appointed to re consider the message and purpose of the Y. M. C. A. Dean Milner was a member of this commission. In Aug ust there was a world meeting of the Y. M. C. A. at which the rewritten purpose was accepted. Then a com mission of fifteen of the prominent men of the U. S. was appointed among whom is Dean Milner, to work out a way to present the rewritten message and purpose to the local Y. M. C. A. organizations. This commit tee is a remarkable group of men, including some of the educational leaders of the nation. "The immediate task of this com mission," said Dean Milner, "is to work out and present a seven course program." Dean Milner is the chair man of the committee on studies. These programs are to be presented to all the Y. M. C. A. groups over the country, in order that they may benefit by the new message and pur pose of the Y. M. C. A. While in New York Dean Milner met with the New York committee, which is sponsoring the Guilford Col lege centennial program. The report he brought back is very favorable. Dean Milner also spent a half day in studying his Doctor's dissertation, "The Office and Function of Dean in a Liberal Arts College."

General Greene Collegians On That annual event of utmost im portance the traditional battle ground hike—came off Saturday, the 4th. The caravaners got under way about one o'clock, and by two-fifteen had covered the dusty distance be tween the campus and General Greene's bronze nonchalance, 'way out on the Guilford Battleground. There were approximately a hun dred hikers, and the number appear ed to be pretty evenly divided be tween the sexes. En route, the young crusaders passed various and sundry fruit orchards. That is to say, they pased the latter after a series of short stops—one stop at each orch ard. Arrived at the Battleground the weariest plodders sat down to rest while the less weary busied them- c/*THE "Xj GUILFORDIAN COLLEGE MARSHALLS FOR!

How ever, the energetic young lady final ly decided to leave this point for fu ture discovery and call it a day with the holding of the bridle of the Gen eral's mount while the General gave all his attention to the distant hori zon. He may have been on the look out for spies of Cornwallis' army— or he may have been merely absent minded. Anyway, later in the afternoon, coffee, cinnamon buns, "hot dogs," and apples were served the colleg ians after Dr. Elwood Perisho had delivered a very fine speech on the significance and history of the Bat tleground. Then homeward came the crowd— a merry one. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N.

"It is hard for young peo ple to grasp the real meaning and value of Christianity," he declared. We need to think more about the way we are going to live and should not forget that is a dangerous thing to play with. Will you base your profession or vocation on Christian ity? Everyone must decide that ques tion for himself. Christianity en courages and comforts. Coffee Sponsored By Student Qov't On Friday evening, October 2, the Young Women's Student Council members tried an experiment in the form of a social occasion, at which time coffee was served by the mem bers of that group from tables both in the faculty parlor and in the stu dents' parlors. This was the first of a series of such entertainments which the Council has planned and hopes to continue as long as they are attend ed, and enjoyed, and prove satisfac tory. It is the desire of the Council that these occasions have a certain degree of formality, as to dress; and that this weekly period shall afford a time and opportunity for a short social gathering and for more elevat ed conversation. Considering from all angles, the experiment of Friday night was very successful. The formality of the cos tumes combined with the friendliness of engaging conversation engendered an unusually attractive spirit in the entire gathering and prompted many sharers of the event to look forward with exultation to coming affairs of this sort.

(Continued on Page 2) D.Wolff G Talk To Dorothy Wolff met with the Fresh men girls on Tuesday evening, Sep tember 29, in one of the meetings sponsored by the Young Women's Christian Association. The subject for discussion was "Feelings of In feriority." Miss Wolff presented her points briefly. "Very few of us," she said, "have real inferiority complexes. The true complex is a pathological con dition and should be treated by an expert psychiatrist. However, we do, I hope, have inferior feelings. Wouldn't it be an odd sort of per sonality—even a disagreeable one— if a person always felt that she had done exactly the right thing at the right time? A wholesome inferior feeling should inspire one to great er attainments just as equally as a too pronounced inferior feeling might cause one to be shy, retiring—a little shrinking violet. And if you feel your inferiority getting the best of you, try things you know you can do well. Excell in your own fields. Forget yourself. Cultivate ease. Renember that you were given an advantage in having no deformities, so lift your chin and rin at your difficulties y. i. wiil ei.joy living!" An open discussion ended the meet ing.
