THE GUILFORDIAK Last week in the supplement to the Guilfbrdian, we gave a general introduction to the college life, a description of the college campus and Flounders Hall, the original college building. In later issues will !>e given pictures and descriptions of dormitories and dormitory life and of the library equipment and laboratories of the college. In this issue we are featuring the college library, the auditorium, and the student literary societies. All these contribute fundamentally and powerfully to the intellectual and social life of the college. The two groups of student organizations \\ 1 n• 11 most nearly typify the simplicity and thoroughness of }uilford life are, first, the Young Men's and Young Women's 'liris tian Associations, representing the religious life of the college community, and, second, the litcrarv societies, re presenting the intellectual and social side of student life. There are lour literary societies in the college, two for young men and two for young women. The men's soci eties, the Wehsterian and the Henry "lay. were organized in the middle eighties and have had a varied but continu ous history since that time. Among the prime movers in the early days of the present societies was former United States Senator .los. M. Dixon ((iuilford 'B9), now gover nor of Montana. The two girl's societies, the Philoma thean and the Zatasian. date their existence from HHKS when, owing t> increasing numbers, the Philagorean So iety of earlier days was divided into two new societies. Tin and well-furnished rooms on the second floor of the Y. M. assembly room where the regular Thursday evening pray Philomathoan halls are located on the lirst floor of Founders Practically every student is a member of one of the socic societies are regularly held on Friday nights. All of the societies place much emphasis upon parliament the world-at-large. The young men's societies place rather societies and relatively less upon strictly literary work. Sec THE LITERARY SOCIETY ROOMS —Two for men and two for womei. In these halls some of the best training the college affords is acquired. 1.1 T1: RA RV s( ) ( I1;TI K s SUPPLEMENT TO ISSUE FOR APRIL 27. 1921. w M. C. A.

The drill in parliamentary practice given in the societies is also highly valuable. Form er Juilfordians quite generally know how to preside over a meeting and how to make or to put a motion, n> small or use less accomplishment for a man or woman to acquire as a by product of a college education. During the college year four inter-society receptions are held, each society entertaining one of the other societies. I hose receptions are among the brightest and most eagerly awaited social events of the year. Not only have the literary societies proved to be effective working units in carrying on their own affairs but the mem bers have proved loyal co-op erative supporters of joint un dertakings. The college news paper is handled by *a joint board from the four societies.
