CAMPAIGN COLUMN WIDE INTEREST EXHIBITED IN CAMPAIGN PLANS ALUMNI SHOW LOYALT'/ Last week it was announced through this paper that Guilford had received a conditional gift of SIOO,OOO, and it was announced at the same time that the Alumni association had assumed the leader ship and responsibility of the finan cial campaign to raise $275,000 to meet the condition of the gift. Many people are asking the ques tion: What is being done to organ ize the work? This is a legitimate question, and friends of the college have not only the right to ask ques tions, but they have the right to make suggestions. Send your sugges tions to the Secretary of the Associ ation and he will see that they are placed in the hands of the proper authorities. If you were only near enough so that you could read the state papers you could see just what is being done at the present time, but since you are not in a position to read the state papers the purpose of this article is to tell you what some of the Guilford clubs are doing. The alumni and old students of the college who live in and around Winston-Salem held a great banquet in the Robert E. Lee hotel Thursday evening.

General® Electric 95-636° column in this paper, these people over in Winston-Salem still have the Guilford spirit, and it is this spirit that will cause them to help put across this campaign. It is true that Guilford people in Winston-Salem realize what they are up against, and at the same time they say they are going to do their part. The Winston people are at work, and so are the Guilford peo ple in other places. The High Point club is planning to have a banquet on January 30, and the Greensboro club will have one early in Febru ary. alumni in Asheboro will assemble around the banquet table on February 2nd, to hear about the great work that Guilford has done ii) the past, what she is now do ing, and too, the after dinner speak ers will rot forget about the great plans for the future. Lexington. Thomasville, and several other places are planning to have ban quets in the near future. The purpose of these banquets is to get the alumni, old students and friends o the college together s.rd let them talk about Guilford and her need i, and then let them help plan for her future. The Guilford clubs in the dif ferent cities and counties will direct the financial campaign within their borders. President Binford and Dr. Perisho will help these clubs to organize their work and any club desiring their services should call on them. A pamphlet setting forth many interesting things about Guilford will be ready for distribution in a THE GUILFORDIAN few days. It is now in the hands of the printer and when it is ready it will be sent to all the friends of the college. —R. L. Newlin. Mr. Richard L. Hollowell, of Columbia, S. C., who, with his wife, a former student at Guil ford college, gave SIO,OOO to the endowment fund, visited the col lege last Saturday. Another contribution of SI,OOO was given last week by Mr. & Mrs. Richard Harden, both for mer students of New Garden boarding school. The Guilford colleg'e club at High Point is planning a banquet to be held January 30. Campaign Calculations "Another contribution of SI,OOO was made last week."

That's straight goods. There are 420 good Guilford alumni and true. They assume the leadership and responsibility of the campaign to raise $275,000. Six hundred berries apiece, Mr. Alumni.
