LETTERS TO GUILFORDIAN.
(The publication of letters does not
necessarily mean that their senti
ments are indorsed by the Board.)
Winston-Salem, N. C.,
October 29. 1915.
Editor of "Guilfordian," Guilford
College, N. C.
Dear Sir: I have read, with
some concern, an editorial in a
current issue of The Gnilfordian
lamenting the fact that interest
and enthusiasm in the Inter-class
Debates has been on the wane for
the past year or two. As a mem
ber of a former class team, I rise
to inquire the why and wherefore
of this state of affairs. In the
days of 1902-08-04—days when I
was present upon the scene of
forensic carnage—there was no
single class activity in which par
ticipation was more vigorously
prosecuted than was the inter
class debate. I might add that
the enthusiasm was sometimes too
explosive, and class spirit some
what bitter. Yet, after all, this
rivalry had the wholesome advan
tage of drawing the classes them
selves together, md, as a result of
this increased class spirit and
class unity, there sprang up the
idea of a class obligation to our
college. The tangible result being
the offering of scholarships and
prizes and the organization of va
rious memorials by classes so in
spired.
Now I should sincerely regret to
witness the death agonies of this
form of inter-class contest, and I
wish further to enter my protest,
as an alumnus o f Guilford College
as well as a member of a former
debating team, to such an untime
ly passing. There is no single con
quest of my college days I look
back upon with more genuine
pride than the winning of one of
these debates by my class repre
sentatives. Let us not let it die,
but rather breathe a new life into
a dying institution.
If interest, as you intimate, in
the debating contest is upon the
wane, get busy and start some
thing. If teachers growl, as yon
say, at lessons occasionally neg
lected as a result of time spent on
such efforts, that is an old, old
story. There will always be some
teachers who aro so self-centered
as to be unable to see anything
worth while beyond the narrow
limits of their own "tiny" class
room, and feel that the scholastic
world will go to ruin and wreck
should some enthusiastic student
do a little independent work out
side of his prescribed and circum
scribed course. To my mind, this
sort of effort should be encouraged
rather than retarded, and should
be whooped up rather than block
ed.
By all means, credit by the c I
lege should be given this type of
work just as much so as to any
other. It is worth the while. (In
fact, I believe I am correct in as
suming some such scheme of cred
it is a matter of record already.)
If this is not correct, make it so.
In conclusion, let me again reg
ister my vote against the death
and burial of my old and honored
friend inter-class debate. Yon
THE GUILFORDIAN
are right, something should be
done.
Very truly yours,
L. L. WHITE, 'O4.
