PSyKALEON LIIERimy SOCIETT GIVES PyELIG Consists of Study of the Life and Works of Woodrow Wilson; Many Visitors Present. IS FIRST OPEN PROGRAM The first open society meeting was lield by the Psykaleon Literary Society, Mcmday evening, in the Society Hall Many visitors, especially members of the other societies and non-society members, ^re present. A splendid attention and interest was manifested during the rendi tion of the entire program, whether or not the program alone could have created sucti interest cannot be affirmed: but the erent—an open society meeting—in itself aloae possessed novelty enough to make it interesting and to secure attention. A very good program was rendered, the outstanding feature of which was the life and accomplishments of Woodrow' WilsoH. The first number on the program was the “Life of Woodrow Wilson,” by Miss Clarine Lincoln. Miss Lincoln gave some personal characteristics, along with the most important events of the life of this great American leader. She rendered this work in a reverent tone of voice, befitting the biography of a man so reverent himself. “The Literary Works of Wilson,” wi given by Miss Lela Johnson. Many of the members thought of Wilson as a great statesman and did not realize that he was also an author, but from Miss Johnson’s paper they learned of his best works. “The Soldier’s Patrol,” a beautiful piano solo, was rendered by Miss Frankye Marshall. This selection was very appropriate since the last five years of Wilson’s presidency were during the World War and since he was such a friend of the soldiers. ‘‘Wilson’s. Opinion of Woman Suf frage,” by Miss Elizabeth McCollum. From Miss McCollums’ talk the society learned that Mr, Wilson was much op- lK)sed to Woman Suffrage until two of liis daughters became so interested in it and he found that some of the best M'omen of his nation were in sympathy ■with this movement. “Wilson’s Part in the World War,” wafi given by Miss Mary Stewart. Miss Stewart’s work was very interesting as she had chosen the most important and interesting facts from this big subject. Miss Alena Tavara added spice to the (Continued on Page Two) NEW STAFF BRIHGS Oil! FIFIST ISSUE THIS WEEt Terrell and Wicker to Head Paper: G-ord-on, Combs and White New Head.s of Departments.

PERISHO SPEAKS RERE SONDA Member of Guilford College Faculty Addresses Organizations—Dr. Bowling Also Speaks. Speaking before a group meeting of the different divisions of the Religious Activities Organization on last Sunday night, Doctor Elwood C. Perisho, Guil ford College faculty, declared that public opinion is one of the most potent factors behind our government today. He em phasized the statement that the person who refuses to have anything to do with the making of public opinion should not complain if matters of civil government do not conform to his conceptions of right and equity. To illustrate the power of public opinion, Doctor Perisho cited the removal of two prominent members from the President’s cabinet. Doctor Perisho declared that public opinion could be formed and given im petus through right leadership. “We need efiicient leadership,” avered the speaker. He then pointed out that it is very necessary for college students to receive proper training while in college in order that they might be able to deal with the potential and real powers of public opinion in after life. He lament ed the fact that our people are spending only three-fourths of one per cent of our annual income for religious purposes, while we spend twenty per cent in luxuries and seven per cent in crime treatment. In the speaker’s opinion the government and the people would make greater pro gress if a greater ratio of our money were spent on the Christian training of OUT young boys and ^rls. Following Doctor Perisho’s address, Doctor Bowling of Durham, North Car olina, spoke for several minutes about the proper attitude of persons toward tithing, or toward giving of their assets to grow’ing institutions. In his opinion a person could better leave lasting marks of his life by investing in character training schools and in institutions. Doc tor Bowling contended that we should not expect growth in our country until we are willing to face the inabilities which are in our system of living. In order to persuade the people of their needs we need education that will pro duce a broad-minded citizen, one capable of including in his preparation such in gredients as will make for a versatile life.
