For the past few months we have
noticed a growing tendency on the
part of automobiles to shun the ruts
in the regular driveways by using
parts of the campus which have nev
er been appropriated to public use.
The walk from Memorial Hall around
by the library and King Hall as well
as the entire ground in front of Cox
and Archdale have been special vic
tims of these circumstances despite
the fact that some feeble efforts have
been put forth to keep the cars with
in bounds. Now there is no reason
why the rude conduct of these tres
passers, which has already resulted
in irreparable damages to the college
grounds should any longer be toler
ated iby the campus committee and
we insistently suggest that no time
be wasted in finding the proper
course to preserve the beauty of the
campus even if to do so would neces
sitate the employment of rather dras
tice measures.
There is another thing that should
not be overlooked while we are re
viewing the conditions of the college
grounds. During the recent rainy
weather several of the walks have
become impassable in places and as
a natural consequence the grass on
each side has been kneaded into the
mud. This is entirely due to the
tact that some of the walks have as
sumed the shape of a breadtray and
hold water as readily. A few loads
of gravel would easily put the foot
ways in fairly good shape for the
rest of the winter and when the
spring opens they should be thrown
up substantially higher in order to
ward off a similar difficulty every
time it rains.
DR. ERDMAN IN CHAPEL.
The Guilford studenr.s were very
fortunate in having with them on
Monday morning of last week to con
duct the chapel exercises, the well
known missionary, Dr. Erdman, from
Korea.
In a clear, concise, yet interesting
manner he brot to the i/iinds of his
hearers a sense of the need and of
the possibilities of Korea. This he
did by relating in a most Interesting
manner the story of one native of
Korea, telling how he was converted
to Christianity, and how he worked
among his own people to give them
the story of Christ also.
Dr. Erdman left with his hearers
this message, especially—that th B
world does not owe us a living, but
that every Christian owes the world
a life.
Evening Meeting.
Again on Monday evening Mr. Erd
man addressed the student body and
once again he gave a splendid and
appealing message. He read, as a
basis for his talk a part of the sixth
chapter of John. Mr. Erdman espe
cially emphasized the fact that every
one needs a foundation for life that
will bear all the strains of traffic,
without giving an inch.
Faith, he said, is the foundation
of all Christian religion. Three rea
sons why this is true, be said, are:
First, faith gives us a God. He brot
out the difference between practical
atheism and inherited atheism. Sec
ond, faith gives us power. Third, it
gives us work to do. Taat work, the
greatest work, the upbuilding of
Christ's Kingdom, because, he said,
Christ's supreme purposa in life was
the evangelization of the world.
The students all feel v>-;ry grateful
to Mr. Erdman for the message he
gave, and certainly each one who
heard him received an inspiration.
SOCIAL AT FOUNDER'S.
Last Saturday evening the boys
md girls entered Founder's Hall
with that kind of spirit that always
prevails when a social is on hand.
Tables had been arranged for pro
gressive rook, which was supposed
to be the main feature of the even
ing, but many other forms of pro
gression took place which were
neither arithmetical nor geometrical.
The rook players kept the game
going very earnestly since there was
a prize to be awarded to the couple
progressing the greatest number of
times. Three couples tied and drew
to see which was entitled to th.e
award. Addie Morris and Jones
Smith drew the highest numfber and
thus won the six Hershey's.
Altho "two" was the popular num
ber of the evening a few showed an
unselfish sipirit by furnishing splen
did music.
