Celebration at Guilford
Dr. Hardin Craig and Janet Payne
Whitney Address Students and Guests
Highlighting Guilford College's 113 th Charter Day last Mon
day were addresses by Dr. Hardin Craig, University of North
Carolina, and Janet Payne Whitney, noted author from West
town, Pennsylvania. Both speakers stressed the urgent need of
more spiritual guidance and less waste of people's lives on
countless little activities.
The program, which commemor
ated the granting of the charter to
Guilford College in 1 K.'(4 by the
North Carolina Legislature, began
with a tiflk by l>r. Craig on the
subject "Renaissance." I)r. Craig,
an eminent speaker, scholar, anil
author, is also an authority m Eli
zabethan literature. Editor of "The
Philological Quarterly" from 1112'.!
until I!>2S, he has compiled since
1!I2!> the Renaissance Bibliography
annually printed in "Studies in
Philology."
Emphasizing that education can
he atained only by work. Ir. Craig
said, "It is folly to think that youth
can acquire culture merely l>y being
given the opportunity to do so."
He urged that "we must have more
vigorous, more competent, and more
realistic men and women in our
faculties."
"There is no elnss in American
society so slothful, and no class
whose energy our country needs s>i
iniich, as the college youth of Amer
ica," Dr. Craig snii. The definite
need for spiritual guidance was out
lined in his words. "I helieve our
failure as college teachers is due
more than anything else to the
lack of faith. We neither visualize
the possibilities that God has afford
ed every living man or Ix-lieve that
we ourselves are capable of doing
many times better." he added.
Dr .Craig, concluded his address
by saying: "The world in which we
live is a political, social, and com
mercial mess, and we must have
great, unselfish brains to save our
world still greater chaos."
In the afternoon authoress Janet
Payne Whitney, novelist and bio
grapher of Quakerism, spoke in the

Appreciative Audience Views
Adaptation of Shaw's Play
Guilford College had the distinct
honor of playing host to the Barter
Theatre Players last Saturday eve
ning in their production of George
Bernard Shaw's riotous comedy
"Arms and the Man."
Miss Chancy Horsley, who the
Memorial Mall theatregoers of that
evening will remember as portray
ing the part of Kaina, remarked
later that the audience (small
though it was) was one irf the most,
appreciative that she has played
before this season.
Such appreciation could only have
been possible through the effects
and superb characterizations of the
Barter east, a group of profession
al actors and actress who are now
touring the South, but who call
Abingdon, Virginia their home. As
an indication of their reputation
and proficiency it should be remem
bered that Gregory Peck, Jeffrey
Lynn and Margaret Phillips are
but a few who have left the Vir
ginia operated theatrical venture
for greater heights.
Play Professionally Done
Trying to single out any particular
phase of this production is like try
ing to find one had apple in a car-
loacl of ripe, red Baldwins. A slowly
written first net progresses toward
the climatic third net with ail the
skill and dexterity 011 the part of
the east that is usually associated
with the major Broadway produc
tions. No novices, these Barter
I'layers, hut rather a professional
crew whose every motion conveys to
the audience a love for their voca
tion.
The (lashing young Swiss officer.
Captain Bluntchli portrayed by
Herbert Nelson, aptly managed to
untangle many n snnrl in (lie affairs
of the Petkoff family while at the
same time offering Shaw a medium
to express much of his renown Phil
osphy. Major Sergius Saranoff.
(Tom McPermott) gave an excel
lent portrayal of the Russian soldier
who came back frowi the front only
to encounter unexpected difficulties
in his romantic life. In Saranoff
was Shaw's outlet for the sharp
biting satire that his devotees ex
pect of him and in this character
they were not disappointed.
One Must Lose

the sultry, impudent Petkoff servant

Miss Lasley's Office
Gives Schedule for
Student Registration
Due to the unusually large en
rollment, Miss Bra Lasley, registrar,
has requested that the following
schedule regarding registration sec
ond semester lie followed.
Registration Schedule
Students, other than seniors ami
those on probation, will register on
Wednesday and Thursday of ex
amination week in the gym. Faculty
advisors will have hours from 9
to 12 and from 1:30 to 3 to assist
students with their programs. Fol
lowing this, students will go to the
office of rhe assistant treasurer
for the payment of fees, and should
have the amount of the tirst pay
ment in hand. Miss Lasley stresses
that no student who has not settled
his account for tirst semester may
register. This includes veterans. All
accounts should be settled before
January 21. Absences will be count
ed from Monday morning, January
27 at 8:30, whether or not the stu
dent has registered for the second
semester, except for probation stu
dents. Their absences will be count
ed from Tuesday morning, Jan
uary 28.
Seniors will register for the sec
ond semester according to the
schedule posted on the bulletin
board in Memorial Hall. Probation
students will register in the Dean's
office, Monday morning, January 27.
Students not enrolled during the
tirst semester will register in the
Dean's office, January 24.
Matriculation Card Needed
In order to be admitted to class,
each student must show his matri
culation card, properly .signed by
the assistant treasurer, to the in
structor. This is done at the first
meeting of each class after the
beginning of the semester. Those
unable to show their card properly
signed will be counted absent from
the class.
The cooperation of all students is
appreciated, that the work may
proceed quickly and easily as pos
sible.
but the question unti lthe climax
was Just who would be the. lucky
mail, to win her affection.
Somehow, as the majority of plays
have a habit of doing, everything
worked out smoothly and all were
happy. All but the servant Nicola,
who we must confess, seemed to be
the only character left without a
love.
Major ami Mrs. Petkoff, (Gordon
Hummers and Margaret Thomson)
provided the remainder of the laughs
that resounded in the Hall through
out the evening. Try as we can, it is
impossible to find some criticism,
even though it be mild, for we were
so impressed b.v the coorporation of
the individual members of the com
pany during the afternoon as they
set up their own props and scenery,
that criticism is nil. Of course we
could complain that North Carolina
has not taken steps to subsidize :i
Theater similar to the Barter Play
ers, but then, there are 40 other
states who have yet to make the
move, so perhaps we have no room
for complaint. Let us hope that
more such opportunities of seeing
equally splendid performances may
come our way again.
