"WHAT OF THE YEAR 1932?"
The greeting Dean Milner gave us
in chapel on the first morning of the
new year left a challenge for spiritual
development that any number of res
olutions would have failed to inspire.
He sketched the situation tcday . . .
there is no middle ground. We are
either in a state of confusion or filled
with faith and courage. It is a time
when we must think clearly; see more
than the dark side of the picture, and
realize that life is a continuous pro
cess of emerging experiences. And
we must set the stage to create ex
perinces which go deeper and are
more permanent than the surface
values on which we have been living
for the past few years. We must
look for untouched, untapped wells of
spiritual resources and find progress
in permanent values.
So what of the year 1932—confus
ion—or new hope and courage found
ed on things whieh cannot be lost?

Jesus. There is an increasing con
ception of what religion is, and an in
creasing ability to withstand the
stress of modern life. We need to
take the vision shown in the Gospel.
The Master, hasn't given us a blue
print to solve the problems of our
life, which at the present is critical,
but in the Gospel and through the
vision we find God's revelation to us.
We need it in our international rela
tions. I'he hearts of men yearn for
harmony and love in the world. The
Gospel dcesn't give the terms by
which a treaty of peace is to be writ
ten, but it does give the idea of uni
versal love, order, harmony, and a
challenge is to use our brains to think
through problems in the way of
Jesus. If we try the way of Jesus, the
spirit of the eternal God will enter
and power will be given to become a
Son of God, and thus achieve life in
abundance.

Here's a queer one we got from
Bob Jamieson, who got it from a Pat
terson, N. J., paper, who got it from
the United Press. It's about Hobart
College. (After which Prof. M. Hobart
Barney is named.) Hobart is a small
college in N. Y. State. It won one
football game in the last three years,
defeating Rochester by the score of
13 to 7. Williams College also beat
Rochester by 13 to 7. Columbia beat
Williams 19 to 0 and beat Dart
mouth 19 to (5, making Dartmouth
six points stronger than Hobart.
Dartmouth tied Yale 33 to 33. Yale
beat Chicago 27 to 0 which gives Ho
bart a 21 to 0 advantage over Chi
cago. Wisconsin beat Chicago 14 to
G. then lost to Minnesota, 13 to 0.
This puts Hobart and Minnesota
about on an equal. The Minnesota
team took Ohio State 19 to 7 and
Ohio beat Illinois 40 to 0. That makes
Hobart 52 pointers stronger than Il
linois. Northwestern beat Illinois by
30 points so that makes Hobart 16
points better than Northwestern.
Northwestern tied Notre Dame 0 to
0. Therefore, if you believe figures
don't lie, Hobart could trim Notre
Dame 16 to 0. What do you think?

she knows where more Guilfordians
are, and more about them than any
other person connected with the col
lege. And to understand the feeling
the old students have for us one need
only hear them say: "Well! Miss
Gainey! How long has it been since
I saw you last?"
So it is to one who has given years
of service, loyalty, friendliness, and
a kindly spirit to Guilford College
that we dedicate this first issue of
the Guilfcrdian for the year 1932
to Miss Gainey.

As Year 1932 Begins

Seventh, the preparation of a his
tory of the College was proposed.
This was indeed an elaborate pro
gram. It involved the raising of more
than a million dollars. It is headed
straight into the financial depression.
Has it been stopped ?
Let us review the things that have
been recently achieved and the things
that are still in progress. Take them
up in the order in which they are
named above.
First, the Centennial Club. It ap
pears that during the current year,
the amount contributed by this club
will be less than it was for the year
1930-'3l. Edgar Hole, the financial
agent, however, is working steadily
at the job, and adds from time to
time new members to the club, hop
ing to increase the number suffici
ently to take care of the deficiency
in amounts that individual members
give.
In such times as we are now going
through, there is very little hope of
adding' to the endowment. We have,
however, two very good prospects for
moderate contributions during the
year.
In regard to buildings, all Guilford
ians of the past fifteen or twenty
years know that we have been dream
ing about that new gymnasium and
that completed King Hall, without
yet realizing the dream. But we seem
prone still to dream. Right now, in
New York City a very prominent
Friend is devoting a great deal of
time to working out in considerable
detail the whole physical equipment
of that ideal college with a little over
three hundred students. He is draw
ing a bautiful picture of it. He is
filling in the details. He is consider
ing the various needs of its young
men and women who are to be here to
enjoy t tomorrow or next year. Ten,
twenty- thirty, forty, or more years
from now, we still make progress ev
en though it seems only an elusive
mirage that we are chasing across
the desert. Some one will see this
picture anew some day and will say
that w must make it come true. We
must build those buildings.
The equipment. Last summer we
laid the steam line from New Gar
den Hall to King Hall, the Library
and Memorial Hall. Now with the new
heating facilities the library is open
every night—a splendid opportunity
for industrious students, many of
whom are entering into the open
door. We bought our first installment
of the Carnegie books last spring.
They arrived just after Commence
ment. They are now on the shelves
and in the hands of the students. We
are now making up the second order
for two thousand dollars worth of
books for which the Carnegei Corpo
ration provides the money. Next year
we will do the same thing, and the
next year after that. Something like
one thousand books a year will be
added to our very valuable collection
and indispensable equipment for the
promotion of intellectual life.
We have provided a room for a
Psychology laboratory. A little equip
ment has been put in. From year to
year more will be added, and the
mysteries of the mind and the body
will be investigated and many truths
revealed.
This year, the Senior class com
pletes the cycle of our new curricu
lum. I)ean Milner and Samuel Ha
worth are teaching the course in phil
osophy and religion with a contagious
enthusiasm.
Students in the language depart
ments are taking comprehensive ex
aminations, some with dispairing

hearts and misgiving minds, but nev
ertheless, they are gaining in effici
ency which old methods failed to
achieve.
The Social Science Group of the
faculty and the Natural Science and
Mathematics Group, and the Lan
guage and Fine Arts Group are plug
ging away at the syllabi that are to
set before the students in a clearer
way than ever before, the goals and
methods of the liberal arts educa
tion. Some of these syllabi are begin
ning to appear in black and white
manuscript form. Probably before
another year some of them will be in
the press.
The scholarship of the faculty is
also attested by the new book, re
cently published by the University of
North Carolina Press, written by Dr.
McCracken and entitled "Strike In
junctions in the New South"—an in
teresting book dealing with some of
the labor problems that confront our
own people.
The organization of the faculty as
indicated in the three groups men
tioned above, is being perfected and
the faculty is beginning to realize a
greater efficiency in its efforts to
meet the intellectual needs.
The student councils are also being
| improved and are handling with
j greater efficiency the problems of
student conduct and integrity in ac
ademic work and examinations.
An effort last summer to estbalish
an Alumni office with a secretary
did not succeed, but it is not given
up. The idea reached a further devel
opment than at any previous time.
Although the financial depression de
feated it temporarily, seed has been
sown which only awaits favorable
conditions for germination and
growth.
But still we have the contest be
tween depression and progression.
Which will win? At some points
alcng the front, progression is still
in control. In some places, depression
is holding the line and causing us to
wait for the day of forward move
ment along the whole front.
Progress is a word that belongs
to Guilfordians. Surely we shall ele
vate it to its proper recognition in
the life of the college.

SUNDAY SCHOOL SUPT.
Plan Of Comparative Study Of
Religions For Next
Semester
JO KIMREY PLANS MUSIC
Starting: January 31, the Sunday
School is introducing a Study of
Comparative Religions. The Superin
tendent has worked out a plan of de
voting one Sunday to each of twelve
Religions:—the Primitve Belief will
be first, then Animisin, Shamanism,
and fetishism; next the Religions of
Babylonia and Egypt, Grahnamism,
Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Con
fuscism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism,
Judaism, Mohammedanism, and final
ly Christianity.
The plan includes student leaders
only. One leader will give the under
lying principles of a Religion each
Sunday to the assembly during the
first one-half hour, then groups will
meet for detailed discussion. These
are intended as a background for a
comparative study in the Spring and
to determine the basic requirements
of a religion. A short time will be
devoted to polytheism, monatheism,
and pantheism.
No attempt will be made to reach
conclusions. That will be left entire
ly to the individual.
Miss Josephine Kimrey has worked
out appropriate series of music pro
grams to accompany the various re
! ligions.
