The young man, as he passes thru life, must advance thru a long row of tempters lined up on either side of him; and the inevitable effect of yielding, is degradation in a greater or less degree. To come in contact with them will draw away from him some part of the divine electric ele ment with which his nature is charged. His only mode of resist ance is to utter and to act out his "No" manfully and resolutely. He must decide at once, not waitin/g to deliberate and balance reason; for the young man who deliberates is lost. Many deliberate without decid ing, but "not to resolve, is to re solve." A perfect knowledge of man is in this short prayer, "Lead us not into temptation." But temptation comes to try the young man's strength, and if he yields the power to resist grows weaker and weaker. Yield once, and a part of virtue is gone. Resist manfully, and the first decision will give strength for life, and repeated, it will become a habit. Good habits, which insinuate them selves into the thousand inconsidera ble acts of life really constitute by far the greater part of man's moral conduct. The thot of the above paragraph was suggested by "Advice to Young Men," to which publication the Guil fordian gives dues acknowledgment. It serves our purpose right at this time to send home a fundamental principle, just as the Y. W. and Y. M. C. A.'s are entering upon the week set a part by the International secretary for special prayer. LET'S CHANGE THE SUBJECT. After this issue political questions will be no more discussed in the Guilfordian for four more years. The Guilfordian has made every effort to be impartial and fair to both sides as would be most necessary in a college where the political parties are, per haps, more evenly divided than in any other in the state. It might truthfully be said that, tho political questions develop the most intense rivalry while they last yet on no oth er lines of division on which men might be divided do partisan feelings die down so rapidly. The rivalry here between the two organizations has been of the most cordial charac ter. Each has attended almost in a body the political meetings held by the other in an honest endeavor to find out what the opposing arguments were. Chance debates on the cam pus between opposing factions, tho' keen, have been friendly. It will be fortunate, however, that in a few days we will all forget that we were united on the larger issue of the Democrats or Republicans and stand united on the larger issues of the success of Guilford in intercollegiate debates and basket ball. Saturday evening socials are very enjoyable, entertaining and perhaps indeed profitable, but it is open to question whether they are really as constructive and edifying as some other employment to which the even ings might be devoted. This must not be understood to mean that the Guilfordian would agitate anything calculated to hinder the development of a chivalrous temperament in the young men or a social charm in the fair sex, both of which can be pro moted only by mutual contact. It is meant simply to suggest that we be given more good strong lectures and scientific demonstrations and other things that will live and thrive beyond the smiles and blushes of sen tamentality. LETTERS TO GUILFORDIAN. (Nothing under this head is neces sarily endorsed by the Board or any member.) IS IT YOU? "Politeness is to do and say The kindest things In the kindest way." There are some people on the Guil ford campus who do not seem to realize the real meaning of these words. Perhaps it's due to a misun derstanding of the meaning of polite ness; perhaps it's because of thought lessness, and perhaps it's due to bad motives; but whatever may be the cause, it is evident that many many discourteous things take place in the dormitories and on the campus every day. The misbehavior which occurred at a political speaking here, some time ago, was almost disgraceful, especial ly for college students. It would seem that people would have more respect for themselves and for those who trained them than to act with impoliteness and rudeness, if they did THE GUILF ORDI AN not have respect for the speaker who was not of their own party, and even if he did make some statements which were not in accordance with their own views and ideas. At least twice the speaker was interrupted by loud talking and laughing, and when he remarked that he would soon close, "a voice like a silver clarion rung," "I think it's time." Was this politeness? Was this courtesy? Another thing is the way that the students have of rummaging over exam papers when they placed in the desk. This practice of placing exam papers on the desk with the grado written plainly on the outside is un fair to the students whether the grade be an A or an E E. Oftentimes socials, which are sup posed to be pleasurable events, have resulted very unpleasantly for some of the girls, because of the impolite ness of a certain crowd of boys. Re marks have been made to girls, by these boys, which were not only em barrassing, but insulting and these were said without any provocation whatever from those to whom the re marks were addressed. Are you a true gentleman? Then you are not of that crowd. Sometimes when grris are on the walks and meet boys, the boys, in stead of turning aside, take the very middle of the walk, stick their hands a little deeper in their trousers pocket, and go right on whistling "Are You From Dixie," or perhaps drawl out a "howdy"—never touch ing their hats. This is not confined entirely to the students. Girls too, often forget to be courte ous and polite when a boy pausses to let a girl go fii'st, or open the door for her, or picks up something she has dropped. She should rceognize the courtesy by a word or nod. But too many forget to do this . These are little things of every-day life, but they mean so much to every individual.
