Guilford College is looking for
ward to a successful, profitable, and
interesting academic year. The fac
ulty will be of the usual Guilford
standard as the vacancies are filled
with strong and experienced teach
ers. The athletic teams will be as
good if not better than ever. Pros
pects for new students are excellent.
Guilford supporters, trustees, alum
ni, old students, faculty, present stu
dents, are getting together with one
common impulse to make Guilford
greater and better than ever before.
In this great task all friends and
supporters of the college have an
important share. The old influences
whioh made Guilford what she was
in the past are dominant today. Let
every one whose eyes are on the fu
ture join that ever increasing group
of Guilford enthusiasts who believe
that, great as the achievements of
the college have been, they are noth
ing to what may yet be accomplished.
WAR AND EDUCATION.
It is an extraordinary fact that
during the last year England, Can
ada and France have appropriated
much more money than ever before
for educational purposes. These
countries have apparently realized
that not only during the war but also
after it there will be an unprecedent
ed demand for trained and educated
minds. The youth of the land who
are not on the firing line must pre
pare themselves to assume the heavy
burden of reconstruction. Were the
schools and colleges to be abandoned
the greatest task ever undertaken by
humanity, the task of starting a dis
ordered and confused world again on
the path of progress, would have to
be undertaken by the ignorant.
The problems which come up will
need the "long look" which only a
knowledge of the history and
thought of the world can give. If
we are to vote intelligently on the
great problems that will confront us,
if we are to do the work of our
country with knowledge and power
and purpose let us set all the more
earnestly about the great task of
education.
WARTIME ATHLETICS.
It is difficult to understand the
motives of those who advocate that
athletics be suspended in wartime.
Surely nothing could be more im
portant now than that the young men
of the country should keep them
selves in the very best physical con
dition. It is difficult to do this with
out the stimulation of intercollegiate
athletics. The fact that some of the
best athletes have been lost through
enlistments works no greater hard
ship on one college than on another.
The men who remain will become all
the stronger because of their chance
to represent the college. Let us
throw ourselves into athletics all the
more energetically because of the
war. If the time of trial should
Come we would then be all the better
prepared.
THE NEW MANAGER A HUSTLER.
Mr. E. Edgar Farlow, appointed
to the position of Business Manager
and exercising general supervision
over the Farm, Boarding Depart
ment, and Buildings and Grounds,
has entered upon his duties with
considerable energy and enthusiasm.
He has a force of men at work put
ting the buildings in good repair.
He plans to make the farm furnish
a larger proportion than formerly of
the vegetables served at the college
table. The better to accomplish this
he has ordered a lot of tin cans and
will can what he can can this sum
mer.
On May sth, Secretary Baker told
the colleges:
"We want to cultivate enthusiasm,
but we do want to be discriminating
in our enthusiasm and prevent peo
ple getting the notion that they are
not helping the country unless they
do something different, which is not
the case at all. The largest useful
ness may come from doing the same
thing—just continuing to do it. To
the extent that college men are dis
qualified or too young, their major
usefulness lies in remaining in col
lege."
The Government says: "Patriot
ism and the desire to serve humanity
may require of you young men and
women the exercise of that very type
of self-restraint that will keep you
to your tasks of preparation until
the time comes to render service
which cannot be rendered by others."

SOME FACULTY VACATION
NOTES.
Prof. George has been at Chapel
Hill nearly all summer. He has just
succeeded in completing his work on
•his Doctor's thesis. Prof. George has
been writing about the sponges
which are native to the Carolina
coast. His work will be published
by the Government.
Prof. Edwards has been serving
as advance agent for a speaker on
the New Constitution for Indiana.
This Constitution has been given a
set back by the Indiana Supreme
Court.
Prof. Partington has been nursing
the baby and taking pictures around
Guilford. He exhibits to his callers
some fine specimens of the photo
graphic art. Prof. Partington ex
pects soon to move into the house to
be vacated by Mr. Wakefield.
Prof. Balderston has succeeded in
lowering the cost of living around
Colora, Maryland, by raising some
of the finest crops to be seen in that
section.
Miss Edwards has been spending
the summer in New York studying
for a higher degree at the Columbia
Summer School. Miss Edwards re
ports some very inspiring Professors
of Latin.
Miss Osborne has been spending
her vacation near Greensboro, In
diana. Much of her time is occupied
in visiting her many friends. Her
reminiscences of Guilford life are
said to have somewhat astounded the
simple folks of Indiana.
Miss Gainey, promoted to the po
sition of Chancellor of the Ex
chequer, .has been sitting on the cash
box all summer. Miss Gainey is
hopefully looking forward to the
time when there will be more coming
in than going out.
INSIDE OF COX HALL
RENOVATED.
It is a universal belief that if you
keep yourself clean within, some day
you'll sprout wings. With Cox Hall
the process has been reversed. No
sooner did Business Manager Farlow
see the wings on Cox Hall beginning
to grow than he concluded that the
rest of the building should corre
spond. Accordingly the walls in
every room have been painted a soft
brown color, covering up the "smears
of years." The general effect is most
pleasing. The tables, chairs and
chiffoniers have all been revarnished.
An extra effort will be made after
college begins to keep the building in
the same fine shape in which it is
now.
