Electrostatic Generators and
Questionnaires Thesis Curios
Members of Guilford's prospective
class of '36 have chosen a variety of
interesting thesis subjects, a recent sur
vey shows. Among these are a number
involving the construction of compara
tively novel working models of physical
apparatus, while others, in the field of
social science, depend to a considerable
extent on the compilation of data by
means of questionnaires.
In the first class comes the thesis
of Paul Bowers, a physics major who
is writing on "The Construction and
Operation of an Electrostatic Genera
tor." In connection with this, Bowers
is constructing a Van Graaf generator
to use in his discussion of the subject.
Another physics major, Robert Ander
son, has been experimenting with an
"electric eye."
The theses being prepared by Helen
Stilson and .lames Fulp fall into the

a Small College Campus," has made an
extensive survey of social life on the

mately the same size and sort as Guil-

LECTURES TO HISTORY IV
Reads Robert Burns in Dialect to Two
English and One Calculus
Classes.
Donald Grunt, lecturer of the Interna
tional Institute of Education, appeared
in a series of lectures, conferences, dis
cussions and "bull sessions" at Guilford
on April 27, 28, and 29. An economist
theologian, linguist, and historian, Mr.
Grant was well qualified to talk on any
or all of such subjects as "The Signifi
cance of Post-War Vienna," "Central
Europe After the World War," and his
ideas of modern religion.
For three successive days, Mr. Grant
spoke in chapel, the first day, April 27,
on his reasons for being here, the sec
ond day, April 28, on Post-War Vienna,
and on the third day, April 29, on the
ways of avoiding war. At 2:13 on April
27, he spoke to the History 4 class on
Central Europe, and remained in the
lecture room for an hour's discussion
afttr the lecture period was over.
The International Relations club met
on Tuesday night, April 28, in Founders'
Hall to hear him speak on current world
problems.
Mr. Grant's first trip to the United
States has been confined mainly to the
southern and east-soutli-central states,
lecturing at colleges and universities in
that region. The part of the country
which Mr. Grant has seen, reminds him,
he remarked, "of Soviet Russia."
He has traveled throughout Europe
"From Paris to Moscow, and from Riga
to Athens," and has spent some time ill
New Zealand. For ten years he was a
resident of Vienna, but now lives in
Ivomlon, only fiOO miles from the Scottish
highlands where lie was born.
GREENSBORO WATER LINE
CONNECTED WITH CAMPUS
City Water Courses Through Dormitory
Showers—l'ipe Line Completion
Delays Further Supply.
CITY WATER DRIVE CULMINATED
The pipe line connecting the Guilford
college campus with the city of Greens
boro, has at last been completed, ac
cording to an unofficial report current
on the campus. Water from this source
was supplied to the men's dormitories
early on the afternoon of Wednesday,
April 29, and to the women's dormi
tories a few days later. The delay in
supplying the women's dorms was due
to the length of time required to com
plete the installation which it was
feared would interfere with culinary ac
tivities.
This is the culmination of a long
drive for city water carried on for some
years by the alumni resident in the
neighborhood.
Theses Dates Announced
All theses, approved by the head of
the department for which they are writ
ten, must be in the Registrar's office by
May 15, according to a recent announce
ment issued by Miss Era Las ley, regis
trar. The degree of any student not
complying with this requirement will be
