In view of the fact that the Easter
holidays are due to arrive at this
week's end, the Guilfordian board
announces that publication of the
next number will be postponed a
week. A number of the boys and
girls will be away from the Col
lege while others will linger around
the hill and find amusement in ten
nis playing, socials and other forms
of amusement. Whatever be the
plans we wish for our friends and
readers much happiness during the
holidays.
Guilford College has always been
esteemed in the eyes of the public
and the alumni for its beautiful
campus and buildings. The new
green grass is already beginning to
spread a carpet on the campus. The,
buds are swelling bigger every day
and the shrubbery will all soon be
jin full bloom. But how about those
wild onions which seem to be crowd
ing out the grass? The general ap
pearance of the campus at present
seems to be in a neglected state.
Students do not seem to know that
there are or ever will be any walks.
The walks leading from the library
to the main driveway is all cut up
with automobiles especially just in
front of the library. Who is re
sponsible for these existing condi
tions? Can someone advise a
remedy?

While the others were singing "Old
Black Joe" he himself, his progress
marked by the spot light, limped
into the circle and was given a place

Mrs. J. P. Davis Talks to the Girls
of the Student Government
Association
Mrs. Davis began with the ques
tion: "Why did you come to Gu'l
ford College?" Some go to college
THE GUILFORDIAN
because their parents wished it,
others go that they may learn to
serve better. The reason which
brings students to college is not as
important as the way they conduct
themselves after they enter. They
have to learn to live with people !
and be subject to the laws of the
institution. Obedience there, is the
first requisite of a successful school
career .
From childhood people want to
be a part of some organization. Or
ganization -promotes order, order
law, and law obedience. A splendid
organization in college that should
promote order is the Student (lOV
ernment Organization. This may be
Compared with a little common
wealth where the members make J
their laws and elect their officers.
Student, or self-government will be
successful if all the members are
absolutely truthful at all times both j
in word and deed, and are willing!
to sacrifice for others. Thus each
may develop his own character as
every new step of sacrifice helps him
in the future.
Such a company of girls as there
is at Guilford College needs no!
■ stronger government than Student
Government. By it each may grow
stronger, for she should realize that
she is an important part of the gov
ernment. The purpose of Student
Government is not for one student
to spy on another, but to develop
the highest sense of honor in her- [
self. People should never watch for
evil except in themselves. At col
lege is the place for boys and girls
to become masters of themselves, for
"who masters best himself, best
serves his state and his fellowmen."
