(
X. I. C.'s national y recognized com
poser. Noble Cain, of Chicago, 111.,
has consented to write a number to be
] dedicated to the (inilford A Co pel la
choir. During his visit on campus
■ some weeks ago Mr. Cain, impressed
with the college and choir, heartily sec-
I onded the suggestion made at that time
j by Dr. E. 11. F. Wcis, director of the
choir.
I With the writing of Guilford's spe
| rial music* Mr. Cain will come one step
j niarer his goal of composing l,uiO
numbers, :TiO of which he has already
j written.
j The actual composing of his music,
accoiding to .Mr. Cain usually takes
from -O to 30 minutes, but the inspira
tion necessary for such rapid com
position is capacious and quite intan
gible. Therefore the completion time
of the (tuiil'ord choir music is prob
lematical. However, when the (iuil
■ ford number is composed it is expect -
!ed to be on either a sacred or a clas-
I sieal-pnet r.\ theme since the majority
of the Chicago composer's numbers fall
into these two groupings.
As soon as the spceial number is re
| ceived the choir plans to begin
rehearsals on it. and hopes t> include

Raleigh Reviews Kaleidoscope
Of Twenty Years On Campus
Wes Raleigh is an institution here
lit Guilford. Von freshmen have prob
ably never seen him, and so long as
you trip about searching for tea and
toast you will not sec him—nor will
you see the tea. Those of us who have
been here for some time know Wes
to be an integral part of the school,
no less a constituent than arc sopho
more speeches, preachers at chapel,
and cold showers in Cox Hall.
Most people who accost Wes have
complaints to make; or if they do
Condescend to question rather than
command, they ask why the h the
heat isn't on or off or both. A little
sympathetic interogation, however, re
veals interesting things about our
I man of all-work. (God help him!)

American Students.
Mrs. Ernestine C. Milner. member of
tlie faculty of Guilford College, lias
been named the only woman in the
Southern I'nited States to participate
on the executive staff of the nation
wide i'niversit.v Christian Mission to
tlie American campus. Sponsored by
the Federal Council of Churches of
Christ in America the speaking tour
has as its objective tlie leading of "stu
dents and teachers lo a vital faith in
Coil . . . and to a thorough personal
commitment to llis cause in tlie world."
Mrs. Milner will speak from Novem
ber 27 to I >eeeml>er 2 at Tuskegee Nor
mal and Industrial Institute, Tuskegee,
Ala., and State Teachers College, Mont
gomery, Ala. Tenative plans call for
her to travel to the University of
Texas, Austin, sometime during March,
there to speak, bold conferences and
interviews. Due to previous commit
ments Mrs. Milner has been unable to
join tile Mission for speaking engage
ments this October in the Middle West.
National director of the University
Christian Mission in Jesse M. I'ader,
New York City, campus secretary is
Paul J. Rraisted also of New York City.
Included in the list of noted speakers
and leaders are: T. Z. Koo, of Shang
hai, China : William 10. Roddy, of
Minneapolis, Minn.; The Itight Honor
able Margaret Grace HondtieUl, of I.on
(lon, lOngland. Only other Quakers be
sides Guilford's Mrs. Milner are: 10.
Stanley Jones, of Luckno, India; Wil
liam >. Miiidenhall, of Whittier, Cali
fornia : and A. J. Musty, of New York
City.
Already well under way. the Chris
tian Mission is busy in Oregon, will
slowly work eastward and southward
until their schedule is completed some
time this coming spring. Approximately
::o campuses will be visited, and from
15 to speakers, including the most
trusted Christian leaders in America
and other lands, will spend a week on
each campus.
The three basic interests of modern
youth which will be brought lo the
.ore during the visits are: peace, stu
dent government, and religion.
I For instance, he is a Methodist; he
llias been employed by the college 1!)
years come next Leak in Founder's
roof; nnd he picked the Yanks to
heat the Cubs in 4 straight games.
To give even a sketchy idea of
the limn, these gleanings require some
elaboration. Wes believes in religious
toleration with evident sincerity, for
he has not failed to form an opinion
of Quakerism. lie finds that the
Friends believe in "waiting for the
spirit to move you" which is. ho as
serts, n commendable doctrine. He
also points out the lack of fancy
stuff in their belief, 11 belief that is
so stark and unimaginative that Wes
is still n fervent Methodist.
