The Guilford nine has journeyed
down to the Palmetto State, and tihe
contests in that territory close the
season for this year. Here's a hope
that fortune and the 'weather tan
make them objects of especial favor,
and that they return a half doz
en scalps in their foelta.
Whose fault is it that you were
not at prayer meeting last Thursday
evening? And what aloout collection
on the following Sunday morning?
Of course no one dou'blts 'that your
txcuse if known would ibe an entirely
legitimate one, ibu't there is no deny
ing the fact that a l'ittle checking up
in this imatiter would do each of us
no 'harm.
It must bre granted that With the
coming of spring, with all out of
doors a most inviting prospect, it is
perhaps a trifle harder .to give atten
tion to our regular duties. For this
reason could we nolt make a little
more effort, a little more sacrifice of
time if necessary, and Itihiu's see to it
that the attendance at the meeings
which belong wholly to the student
body flhall not so noticeaibly -decline
during the spring months.
VISIT YOUR ALMA MATER.
The Gruilfordian wislhes to en donee
most heartily 'the (proposed /plan of
the 'college concerning the meeting
to he held here on May 25. Espe
cially should (this plan receive the
support and hearty co-operation of
every Guilford alumnus. If youi (have
ever heen a student of Guilford Col
lege you have never quite lost that
indefln'Me, but 'wholly ex'istant qual-
ity which is commonly called "the
Guilford spirit."
So, make every possible effort to
come fback (to the old hill this spring.
Arouse your college rpiaitrio't'istm, re
view old .times witlh college mates of
former years, and boost Guilford in
every possilble way.
The spirit of tlhis meeting is al
ready in the (atmosphere, and every-
thing is looking toward a bigger, (bet
ter Guilford. If you should, tliere-
fore, not attend you 'Will foe doing
yourself an injustice for you of
course wish to have some share in
the (big drive now on
The present business manager de
sires to hand over a clean slate to his
successor, iwith all accounts properly
closed. So if you .have not already
paid in your subscription please do
so as soon as possible. Do not wait
for him to come to you (for it, but
bring it Ito him—thus saving extra
tme and itrouib'le for one already over

HERE AND THERE.
Owing to recent rains the tennis
tournament 'has been indefinitely de
ferred. An announcement concern
ing lit will appear later.
Among the week end visitors at
the college 'were Dr. Thomas Newlin,
Roger Kiser and Ed. Carroll from
Camp Jackson; Shields Cameron
from Camp Greene, and Miss Errni
nie Ayer, from Due West, S. C.
On account of tihe small attend
ance at the regular Y. W. C. A. pray
er meeting last Thursday evening,
the program which had been arrang
ed was postponed ,until next meet
ing. This was to have 'been u mis
sionary program in charge of Ruth
Colble and A. Clhillton.
Rhesa Newlin, 'l7, visited his
brother, Curtis, at the college last
week.
Prof. Brinton and Kate Smith,
Clara Blair and Mary Price attended
a high school contest held ait Sum
merfield last Saturday evening. Prof.
Brinton served as one of the judges
at this contest, and awarded tihe
medial.
On Saturday evening, Miss Os
borne, Miss Edwards and Miss Gain
ey gfave a delightful iparty to the
memibers of the faculty in honor of
Miss Ayer. A delightful time was
sipen't in sewing and kn'i'titing—ac
complishments which even the rep
resentatives froim Cox indulged in.
However strawberries, cake and bon
bons routed soldiers' sweaters iand
tajble linen alike and formed a fit
ting 'climax itto a mosft enjoyable even
ing.
Mrs. Hoiblbs 'left Friday for a pro
tracted visit in Philadelphia and New
Jersey. Miss -Gertrude ITobibs ac-

days.
A PIOUS REMONSTRANCE.
To the Editor oif The Pundhnßoiwl
Sir: lit seems (to ime thait the atten
tion of the fire inspectors should he
called to the University chapel. The
condition of ithe exits is frightful.
Whalt 'would happen if a ifire should
break out in that deaitli-trap, crowd
ed ito the very doors ;by men, com
pelled against their will to go?
Think of the awful destruction, the
men traimipe! 'to death, the men burn
ed, roasted, and fried, while vainly
beaJtimg against tlhe I'ocked doors,
which Pomp, (blissfully ignorant,i
does not open? Think oif the hun
dreds 'of men, urged into the room
by threats —ithe flower of our youth
—who would (perish in tlhe passing
of a moment! It is criminal beyond
measure that such a thing should be
—'that the trustees, ithe faculty, the
dean should 'allow men to ibe packed
so tightly in such a sepulcher. It is
a time to .take action. The chapel
is crammed full with twenty times
the men who want to be there. If
the trustees, the faculty, the dean
were humane, if they were consid
erate, ,if tlhey valued the lives of the
men who ipay tuition, they would cut
down this nuimiber -four-fifths. PrOb
aibly (this knowledge of the awful
danger that lies lurking there is the
real cause that keeps them from at
tending and swelling tlhe list oif pos
sible Victims. A proper petition
might succeed in having them re
strict the numlber as we have sug
gested. Even this Would not ibe any
too small 'an assembly. It is hardly
possible that more than fifty men, in
case of fire, could 'escape from the
chapel without loss of life. There
fore, the student (body should rise
up and say, "No more than fifity men
should be allowed in chapel," and
persist until their request is granted.
There might be some consolation in
being burned up in a theater, be
cause you go of your own free will,
but in the dhapel— We might take
up the cry of half a century aigo, and
say, "Fifty or fight," and iget justice.
Respectfully yours,
Brothers of Veritas.
