LETTERS TO GUI LFORDIAN (Publication of letters does noi neces sarily imply that their sentiments are endorsed by the Board.) SENSITIVENESS AND SORENESS Every upper classman knows that it is with the greatest diffi culty that the Guilford College faculty or officers in general, take criticism from any of the student body. Public opinion among the students is stilled. Of course "per sons who are young and compara tively ignorant, . . . determined to find fault if possible" are not the most competent critics and judges in the world, but I believe that criticism from students should not be wholly disregarded and eai-t aside as rubbish. Several in stances of This over-sensitiveness, soreness, if you please, have oc curred this year. In The Guilfordian, lunches were criticized and it was very surprising that those in charge took it too personally and carried their feelings on their sleeves for some time. This mild satire was not intended maliciously, and I, for one, thought the article was original, to say the least. You never would dream that soreness would follow such. You would expect broader mindedness. If we are "so young and comparatively ignorant," disdain noticing at tacks. Tn this prolonged discussion over these compulsory Sunday meetings, I'm afraid there has been some soreness. I am sure that nothing personal was intend ed, although two people took the first letter as a direct attack upon them and were consequently grieved over it. Sensitiveness is a very good thing, but over-sensitiveness is both a nuisance to the one over sensitive and to those with whom he comes in contact. At all events, over-sensitiveness is not worthy of eniulat ion. It seems that some of the Guil ford ollicials are seated upon a pedestal of sensitive infallibility —and that it is desecration for any poor, unworthy worm of a student to knock upon anything which reflects upon the judgment of those in charge. "Better be a nettle in the side of your friend than his echo." Y. W. C. A. NOTES. A very interesting and helpful meeting of the Y. YY. C. A. was held Thursday evening on the sub ject, "The Y. \Y. C. A. as Seen From the Eyes of the Freshmen." Myrtle Cox opened the meeting by reading the thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians; then she made a short talk on the meaning or purpose of the Y. \Y. C. A. She showed us the special opportuni ties we have as members of the Association.. \Ye get from the meetings messages, a part of which we remember perhaps through life. But we should con sider no less the giving side. The field of work is so broad that each person sliouid have a specific work to perforin and give herself to it. The work may seem crude at tirst but it can become a polished mas terpiece. The spirit of the Y. \Y. C. A. should be love. Every girl ought to be willing to sympathize with and help others to a higher life. Tot ten Moton, Addie Morris, and Ellen Haiford each made crit icisms of the Y. \V. C. A., both favorable and unfavorable. It is of special interest to have the Freshmen view, for by the criticisms we are able to make im provements for the ensuing year. Heatrice Crouch sang very ef fectively, "Only Hemembered by What We Have Done." The attendance was good. .Miss Edwards has very enthusi astically taken charge of the train ing class for eight-week club work which she organized the past week. The Y. \\\ C. A. sends ten dol lars each year to Miss Sharpless, a missionary in Japan, to aid her in her work there. Since she is a friend to many Guilfordians, I thought it might be of interest to some to publish an extract from her letter on receipt of (he small gift we sent her. She said: "1 was glad in the first place, because Ihe money is very much needed for the Sunday schools, and in the second place, because 1 have a very great fondness for Guilford, and like to feel that there is such a bond as this he- THE GUI .FORDIAN tween us. Ten dollars goes farther in .Japan than it does in America or Europe. The ten dollars that yon sent is really a substantial part of the support of four Sun day Schools, and helps to give some hundred or more children some of the privileges that we, who were born in a Christ ianjand. have always enjoyed." Miss Sharpless is coming home next year and hopes to make a visit to (J nil ford. THE WEBSTERIAN CONTEST.
