Perry Gladys I-lighflll A. L. Riddick Alma Lassiter Troy Short SUBSCRIPTION PRICE SI.OO Address ail communications to THE GUILFORDIAN Guilford College, N. C. THE GUILFORDIAN. The old is ever giving Avay to the new. Expansion and extension is the law of life. Growth and progress are allied against stagna tion and decay. From NCAV Gar den Boarding School Avith old Founder's Hall only IAVO stories in height has evolved Guilford Col lege Avith its modern equipment Likewise has its institutions eith er developed or declined. Am these is her college publicat' >•), The Guilford Collegian. From the inadequate monthly magazine there has evolved a weekly organ Avhich will seek to fill its proper function as a college publication. Such is the decision of the present Board. But why the change? One rea son for this inovation is the in difference of the student body to a purely literary publication. Not only has the Collegian failed to re ceive the proper financial support, but also the quantity and quality of the literary contributions have not always been all that could be desired. In vieAV of these facts the Board feels that their publication is not filling its proper place in the college, and that a Aveekly pub lication of the actual events of Guilford life will more adequately meet local needs and stimulate an enthusiastic interest on the part of our student body in its own ac tivities. Another consideration is the fact that a weekly publication will give the Alumni an intimate knowledge of conditions at their Alma Mater, and thereby increase their interest, and help them to feel that they are still within close touch of her, though lliP3 T have passed beyond her walls. It will bring back "memories that smile and beckon to the land of yesterday." THE GUILFORDIAN will aim to give a detailed weekly account of (he literary, religious, social, and athletic activities of our college We shall hold our columns open at all times to any under-graduate or Alumnus who wishes to discuss affairs of interest to any Guil fordian and relative to the welfare of the College. Criticism will be welcomed and suggestions gladly received. In our discussions of col lege conditions we hope 1o be frank and open, but all our re marks >ve trust will be construc tive in purpose. We do not wish to dampen any literary ardor which may be in our midst, and to this end we propose to issue a monthly literary supple ment, provided suitable material is furnished by our fellow-stu dents. The success of any college publi cation rests solely in the hands vf the student body. With your en thusiastic support we can make THE GUILFORDIAN the best college weekly in the State; without your support we can do nothing. No student is too poor to pay a dollar per,year for the weekly newspaper of his own college; and every stu dent in college should have suf ficient pride and loyalty to sub scribe to this new publication. The financial support of the stu dent body is absolutely imperative to the maintenance of a satisfac tory paper. And once agains we encourage you to continue your literary efforts and we promise that all material submitted to the Board shall receive fair and im partial consideration, and shall be judged solely on its merits. To the Alumn an appeal for as sistance is also necessary. In working for the best interests of a college, co-operation bet ween the students and Alumni is of the ut most importance; and Ave trust that TUB GUILFORPIAN will be a means of forming a closer bond of union between the Alumni and the present student body. By sub scribing to it, you Alumni can know exactly what is happening at your Alma Mater and through it you can make suggestions and express your opinions relative to every phase of college workings. Since the notice of the change ap peared in the press of the State several letters from the Alumni have been received, warmly ap proving of the innovation and pledging loyal support. We feel sure that these are typical of the attitude of the Alumni Associa tion and Ave hope that within a short time all the members may respond and help us develop and maintain a new spirit of loyalty and enthusiasm for your Guilford —our Guilford.

BISHOP EDWARD RONDTHALER On Saturday evening at 8 o'clock the students and people of (lie surrounding neighborhood were delighted to have Bishop Ed ward Rondthaler deliver a lecture in Memorial Ilall on the subject of "The War Times in Europe." Bishop Rondthaler himself for many years has been visiting the European nation and watching the underlying causes of the war as they have been gradually de veloping. First he ask that each one do away with the idea that any individual rulers, now or ever, on the thrones in Europe have been the causes of the great dis turbance and insisted that these rulers rather be considered as the timber behind which was the great cyclone of the nations. The underlying causes he dis cussed freely under four main top ics. Ist. The growing race feeling, the antagonism between the Teu tonic and Slavic races. 2nd. The tight for Lorraine. 3rd. Militarism revived. As an example of the stress lain on the military life in Germany be cited
