4 ALUMNI NOTES Joseph M. Dixon, 'B9, ex-United States Senator from Montana, has re tired from political life and is now the owner of a large cattle ranch and farm near Missoula, Montana.

Coltrane, 'O7, is spending his seventh year as principal of James town High School. Jamestown is one of the most iprogressive high schools in the State, being one of four State farm schools and one of two schools in this State receiving Federal aid. In addition to his work at James town, Mr. Coiltrane is doing summer work at the University leading to ward his Master's degree. Tyson Fox, ex-Guilford, is a mem ber of the Signal Corps encamped at Fort Leavenworth, Texas. Waller Nicholson, '0 7, is teaching history in Tech High School, Atlanta, Ga., and is continuing his work at Emory University DR. WARD OX "THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY" (Continued from first page) of time until those who wish to as sert dominion and supremacy over others will be overthrown. Law and custom entrench the right of the strong to rule. For this •should be substituted the will to serve. Instead of doors being closed to strong men by inherited weaklings or parasites, life should be organized on a basis of service. These false gods should be gotten rid of and a body o'f producers organized. To seek more for one self than for oth ers is contrary to the first principle of democracy. Dr. Ward said: "Let this war end when it Will, the United States will be the wealthiest and strongest na tion in the world and it rests with the students to decide whether she shall become master or maker." If this policy which we are fighting in Europe is carried out in the United The Students Shoe Store The Old Reliable J. M. HENDRIX & CO. Will be Represented this year at Guilford College by DAVID J. WHITE. Call on him and see the New Fall Styles. Your co-operation and patronage will be appreciated by him and yours truly, J. M. Hendrix & Co., Greensboro, N. C. The Home of Good Shoes States she will be the first to en throne autocracy and enslave man kind. Instead of a peace maker she will be a war maker. We should not be rulers but serv ants of mankind, says Dr. Ward. Christ refused to be called Lord, but called himself servant. Students should pay the de'bt owed to past and future in service to their country and not in pillaging and plundering. Only the people who have dedicated their lives to service can helip to make the world safe for democracy. The Chris tian life is organized around service, the other life around selfishness. A man's influence is measured by his devotion to service. BIG MEETING OX MAY 11TH (Continued from first page) port every movement which has at heart the strengthening of our col lege for its present and future task. In the second place we believe we should very seriously consider the financial situation and set a move ment on foot for immediate relief. We believe by seeing at close range the situation as it actually exists, a very large, number of friends of the College, Alumi, Old Students and others will be glad to assist a move ment to be inaugurated at the meet ing for the annual payment, for five years, of the interest on the present indebtedness; and believe it possible in the meantime to cancel the entire debt and set the college free to pur sue its course with increasing vigor and success. Tihs paper is sent to you to ask | you to take an active part in carry ing out this movement by giving it your careful thought and considera tion, and by attending the meeting, and by getting as many of your friends as possible to do so. If the attendance is as large as it ought to be, the mere presence of the peoiple will have weight and guarantee suc cess. If we can accomplish this double purpose of unifying all friends of the institution in sentiment and action, and of raising thirty-six hun dred dollars each year for five years, we shall put the college on its feet to stay; for the accomplishment of this preliminary step will open the way for a campaign that will liquidate the total indebtedness. All this can be done by unity of feeling, cooperation THE GULLFORDIAN in action, and some sacrifice all round. Let ue come together and see what is at stake. If we see the situ tion as it is, we shall rejoice that the remedy for the immediate needs of Guilford is so completeily within our hands. As to date, we call to your atten tion the fact that the Education Board of the Five Years Meeting is proposing an Education Week this spring, viz: from the 6th to the 11th oif May. This will fix the date for the banquet Saturday night, the 11th of May. Let us all hold that date open for Guilford, and make our plans to spend an evening at the old college w r ith our friends. The occa sion w r ill be informal. Everyone will be welcome, and feel at home on the old grounds. The purpose is most worthy. The larger the attendance, the more effective will be the unity and weight of the meeting, and the more certain the outcome. Let us make the occasion count for great things for Guilford College. Questions or suggestions address ed to any member of the committee will receive prompt attention. L. L. HOBBS, J. ELWOOD OOX, O. E. MENDENHALL. H. H. BRINTON, ALMA T. EDWARDS, Committee of Arrangements. There is not yet time to give an exact estimate as to how great the resiponse to this letter will be, but from all the comments so far heard there will be the largest and most enthusiastic company assembled that ever attended a meeting devoted to the interests of Guilford College. Everywhere throughout the alumni association, the yearly meeting and Guilford's large body of friends there has been a get-together spirit mani fested which augurs well for the fu ture of the college. Bob Doak has been figuring on the prospects of a baseball game on the afternoon of the 11th, and while that date will be too late to come in the regular col lege schedule, yet Bob declares that there are enough real ball players among the alumni who are still in training to make it very interesting for the home team. Further details about the meeting will be published in later issues of the Guilfordian. Mark the 11th on your calendar and don't let anything whatever in terfere with your coming.
