FINANCES BIGGEST
FACTOR IN CHOICE
OF INSTITUTION
Guilfordian Holds Referendum
Among Classes on "Why I
Came to Guilford".
LIST MANY ADVANTAGES
Include Many Who Had No Other Place
to Go; Some Desired Change
of Schols.
Though the quarterly trips to Miss
Gainey's office are painful enough to
most students, more members of the
student l>ody selected Guilford as the
college of their choice because of the
reasonable rates than for any other one
reason. There were 40 of these, accord
ing to a recent survey made by the
Guilfordian.
Surprisingly enough, there were 33
who came here for an education. And
eight who couldn't go any place else.
A questionnaire was sent to the stu
dent hody through class chapel atten
dance recently to find the reason or
reasons for each individual having
chosen Guilford as a place to continue
his study.
There were 214 who gave reasons, the
number ranging from one to six per stu
dent. Tabulations were made and it
was found that these fell under 26 dif
ferent heads.
The largest number, 40, gave reason
able prices at Guilford as one of the
determining factors; 35 gave its ad
vantage as a small college; 35 because
of its nearness to individual homes; 34
that the training given here would pre
pare them for life's work; 33 came to
get an education; 33 came through the
influence of friends, acquaintances and
alumni; 24 because of the curriculum
offered; 10 because some of the family
had been here previously; 11 because
Guilford is a Grade A college; 10 be
cause work can bel done to help pay ex
penses; 10 because of the efficient fac
ulty, and to get better acquainted with
some of its members; nine because of
the student activities on campus; nine
through influence of friends here at the
present time; eight couldn't go any
other place; Bix wanted the social con
tacts; five because Guilford is co-edu
cational; five because individual in
struction is given; four because of
Guilford's ideals and principles; four
because of the choir; four because of
scholarships; four because of the
friendly spirit on the campus; three
were dissatisfied with other schools;;
two because Guilford- was in Southern
Association; one to know Southerners
better. Knowledge of the requirement
of the French Oomp. would have kept
two Seniors away.
These numbers and reasons are both
interesting and informative as to the
real Teason our present student body
came to Guilford.
CROSS COUNTRY TEAM
LOSES TO HIGH POINT
Guilford's second cross country meet
of the season was lost to the High Point
High School team. The Quaker squad
was divided into two teams which ran
two teams from High Point. The score
was 23-38 for the first cam and 19-42
for the second. The first men to finish
for the first team were Stokes .High
Point; Meibohm, Guilford; Bowers
Guilford; Hubbard, High Point.

Tlmt life should appear commonplace
to any man is evidence that he has in
vested it with the coarse habit of his
thinking. Life is beautiful to whomso
ever will think beautiful thoughts.
There are no common people but that
who think commonly and without imagi
nation or beauty. Such are dull enough.
—Stanton Davis Kirkham.
