Page Four Braxton and Moore Given Haverford Scholarships OFFERED YEARLY Both Have Fine Scholastic Records, and Prominent in Activities. INCENTIVES TO STUDY Curriculum, Scholarships, Honor Roll Incentives for At tainment. Wilbert Braxton and Stanley Moore, of the classes of 1932 and 1929, have been awarded the Haverford scholar ships this year. These scholarships, which cover expenses for one year at Haverford, are offered annually to members of the graduating class or to recent graduates of Quaker colleges. Wilbert Braxton has distinguished himself at Guilford by his enviable scholastic record. But he has also en tered enthusiastically into the life of the college for last year; he was awarded the William F. Overman scholarship, given to the junior who contributes most to the life of the college. By the way of athletics, he won the tennis singles in the North State conference last year. He was president of the Y. M. C. A., and edits this year's "Quaker." Stanley Moore had also a fine record of scholarship. His outside activi ties were numerous: he was editor of the "Quaker" and a member of the stu dent affairs board, the men's student council, and the dramatic council. His athletic activities at different times were football, baseball, basketball, ten nis, and track. For a number of years there has been a special effort to raise the sholastic standard at Guilford. Our curriculum is the outgrowth of this effort. The ideal of the curriculum is to couple special- ! ized work in a limited field, represented by a course in a major, and related subjects, with cultural resources courses, including orientation courses and many others, whose object is to ground the student in the whole field of the lib eral arts, to make him a well-rounded personality. The Haverford and William Overman scholarships are incentives to raise the scholastic standard. The Rhodes schol- ; arship is also used to stimulate schol- | arly interests. Work requiring re- | search is done by the students of each class. In the freshman year it is the long term paper, the sophomores and juniors make ten to fifteen minute class talks, and of course the seniors write theses. Outstanding juniors make ehapel talks the last semester of each term. Although the results of reading for honors last year were not encouraging, with time this custom will undobtedly become better established. The honor roll, with the more difficult require ments now applying, will give more distinction to the honor group hence forward. The ehapel period Tuesday was given to a program for the honor students, and these twenty-four were each sent a letter .from the faculty commending them on their work. With all these incentives to attain ment, it cannot be doubted that Guil ford will have a better seliolastie stand ard in the future, as the present stand ard is an improvement over that of the past. i. = JOS.
