THE GUILFORDIAN VOLUME IV. AthletiG Prospects Are Very Good Football Schedule Rapidly Getting' Into Shape. There is every indication that the college will put out a good football team this fall. Guilford football has hitherto lagged considerably behind other sports in the amount of inter est shown, but Coach Doak is form ing plans this summer to make foot ball rank with basket ball and base ball as a major college sport. Bee son and Garner are the only two men of last year's team to be lost. They will be missed but the added experi ence of the old men and a number of new men will more than make up for it. Capt. Armstrong, Port, Red dick, Semans, A. Newlin, Stafford, Kiser, Zachary and Lloyd all expect to be in their accustomed places when the team lines up. Of last year's scrub team, Cam eron, Winningham, Babb, Newbold, Wilson, Anderson, Stanley, Massey, Marlette, all stand a good chance of making the varsity, and several have already taken part in games. Zeb and Don Walser also ought to make good. Among the new prospects for next year who have had experience there are Graham of Salisbury High, Bryant of Horner Military Academy, Armfield of Asheboro High, Barrett of Asheboro. There is also a good chance that Frank Morrette, who played on the Bucknell team of 1913, will be at Guilford this fall. The schedule is not yet complete, but so far is about as follows: A. and E. (A. & M.), Sept. 29th. Lenoir, Oct. 6th. Wake Forest, Oct. 13th. Asheville School, date not fixed. Roanoke College, date not fixed. Woft'ord, date not fixed. Basket Ball. Basket ball prospects are very rosy as last year's varsity who made such a splendid record will all be back. Walser (Capt.), Massey, Zachary, Semans, and Jones will make a quint hard to beat. Of last year's scrubs who will return there will be Ballin ger, Miller, D. Walser and Babb, who will make the other men hustle to hold their positions. Manager Grissom is at work on the schedule and promises a good list of games. Soccer. Guilford will probably make some effort this winter to introduce soccer as an intercollegiate sport. If this can be done an interesting time is in prospect. Colleges are beginning to realize that there is nothing like soccer to keep athletes in training during the winter months. Baseball. It looks as if next year's baseball team will be at least as good as last (Continued on fourth page) MIDSUMMER EDITION GUILiFORD COLLEGE, N. C., AUGUST 13, 1917. WHY GO TO GUILFORD To the old students of Guilford the facts outlined below are too well known to need repetition. They are put here for the benefit of both of those who are looking forward to coming to Guilford this year for the tirst time and who should know something of those ideals for which the college stands and of those who are just on the point of finally de ciding on the college which they can most profitably attend. To the latte r we can point out that this decision will have a most important influence on their future characters and ca reers and that this step siliould be taken with the utmost care and de liberation. It would therefore pay them well to carefully consider what one among the many North Carolina colleges which are bidding for stu dents would come the nearest satis fying their needs. To that student who might be at tracted to an institution merely be cause of its size or because some mil lionaire lias heavily subsidized it or because of its glaring and noisy ad vertising Guilford will make no ap peal. It takes more than mere build Cox Hall as it Looked on August I, Showing the New Additions mgs o' money or legislative acts or loud claims to make a college. The supreme test of an institution is the character of the student who goes from its walls. For eighty years Guilford College .has been quietly sending men and women forth who have most profoundly influenced the life of the State, who love deeply the beautiful campus wtiih its stately trees and the buildings hallowed by so many memories, and who main tain homes where Guilford ideals and traditions are sacredly kept. Guil ford is willing to be judged not by those who 'have come only to stay a term or two but by those who have been at the college long enough to feel the impress of the college spirit. The location and size of the col lege are the first two things to strike the observer. THE LOCATION OP THE COLLEGE IS IDEAL No college could be more fortun ate in its location. Situated literally in the open country in the heart of Piedmont Carolina, the detractions and temptations of city life are en tirely absent. Here the country boy does not lose his love for the coun try and the town boy gets in healthy contact with nature. Guilford College, with its ,pure air, water and vigorous outdoor life, knows little of sickness. Greens boro, the "Gate City," easy of access from all parts of the State, is only six miles away and can quickly be reached. Its proximity enables the college to enjoy all the conveniences of a city without permitting the city to interfere with the academic life. A SMALL COLLEGE HAS SEVERAL ADVANTAGES OVER A LARGE ONE. 1. Personal Contact Between Faculty and Students. A college education will either pre pare for the general duties of life or for taking up professional training. In either case this preparation can best be accomplished in a small col lege which permits of specialization along the lines of one's interests, and yet which gives an education broad enough to .prevent a premature nar rowing. Every reputable professional school requires considerably more than a high school training for en trance and the best require a college degree. To turn an immature high school graduate loose in a large university or professional school, with his char acter as yet unformed, not sure of what he wants, and left largely to his own devices is often disastrous. In the small college .however he gains ready access to his teachers for consultation and advice. He is kept under intimate personal oversight. He is held to strict account in his studies. He is under the direct mor al influence of the faculty with whom he is often on terms of the 'closest in timacy. If he needs 'help in scholas tic or other matters lie will find it close at hand. Such an education (Continued on third page) Cox Hall Additions Nearing Completion The Building Now Makes Splendid Appearance. We print in this issue a picture of Cox Hall as 'it appeared early in August. At that time the brick work had been practically finished and the roof of the south section nearly con structed. It will be seen that the two new sections are exactly like the centre section. Students reserving rooms in the new sections should keep this in mind. Wihen Cox Hall is completed Guilford College will have one of the finest dormitories in the country, in fact Cox Hall is the very last word in dormitories. The new sections will accommodate forty eight students, two to a room. The whole of Cox Hall will thus accom modate more than 100. EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE TAKES CHARGE The following is an extract from a recent announcement by the Board of Trustees of Guilford College: "1. Soon after the close of the last session, the President, Dr. Thos. Newlin, tendered his resignation,.ad vising the Board that in his opinion his withdrawal at this time would bring about a more cordial relation ship between the College and the Alumni. "After careful consideration of the matter, the Board accepted his resig nation, to take effect on September 1. In the meantime, Dr. Newlin is spending practically all of ihis vaca tion in behalf of the College, and the fine spirit of cooperation on his part is recognized and appreciated by all friends of the institution. "2. In view of the resignation of President Newlin, the Board con cluded to refer the usual duties of the president, for the coming year, to a Committee of the Faculty, con sisting of "Prof. Howard H. Brinton, Chair man; "Dr. L. L. Hobbs, President Emer itus, "Miss Alma T. Edwards." Prof. Brinton is now in charge of the college office and all communica tions should be addressed to him. W. C. GUESS APPOINTED TO HEAD HISTORY AND ECO NOMICS DEPARTMENT. The vacancy in the History and Economics Department caused by Prof. Woosley's retention by the government has been very fortunate ly filled by the appointment of Mr. W. C. Guess, of Apex, N. C. Mr.' Guess was appointed early in August after it was definitely learned that Prof. Woosley could not return. There (Continued on third page) NUMBER I
