EDITORIAL COMMENT
The Campaign
Guilford's endowment campaign
is in full swing. At present it is
impossible to give the exact amount
of money raised. However, Greens
boro has raised one-half of her $75,-
000 quota and the outlook is bright
for the other to be subscribed
within the next few days.
We have no announcement from
High Point and Winston-Salem, in
fact the latter city has not begun
canvassing yet, but the Guilford
spirit and Guilford alumni are
strong in each place, so it looks as
though there need be little anxiety
felt over the final outcome.
A plea for SIO,OOO was made at
a banquet held by the college facul
ty and community last Friday
evening. No large contributions
are expected from this source. Still
there can be no doubt about the
attitude that the community is tak
ing, for it is standing squarely
behind the campaign and will do
its share. One member of the fac
ulty pledged half of his entire year's
salary to the institution. Such a
determination is bound to win.
Think of it, Guilfordians, citizens
of Guilford and the adjoining coun
ties, you will have added to your
vicinity an institution worth one
million dollars. Over half the mon
ey required to do this will come
from outside of the state. Guil
ford will be maintained as a grade
"A" college, which means a tre
mendous asset to Greensboro and the
county, both for its influence and
for its material contributions. The
greatest influence will be a trained
citizenship whose value cannot be
measured in dollars.

Guilford, Greensboro and The
Daily News
We cannot express our appre
ciation to the Greensboro Daily
News too strongly for the loyal sup
port it is giving to Guilford at
the present time. Surely, judging
from the attitude this paper takes
toward all progressive causes, we
expected its co-operation and we
have not' been disappointed in the
least. From time to time, not only
from the news items but from the
editorial columns, comes loyalty and
interest expressed in no uncertain
language.
The following is an extract from
an editorial appearing in the News
on February 19.
"Guilford college must have addi
tional support if its rank as a grade
"A" college is to be maintained.
What does Greensboro propose to do
about it?
"We are led to believe, from the
numerous expressions of its citizens,
that it will do all, even more than
is expected of it, for Greensboro is
neither apt at shirking responsibility
for its own, nor slow in discharging
obligations. That its responsibility
for the future of Guilford, and
obligations for what that insti
tution has already contributed
to the community are both large,
goes without question. Greensboro
owes Guilford college a debt of
gratitude that must be paid. But
that is not all—by no means all.
''The present situation brings to
the people of Greensboro not so
much an obligation to be met as an
opportunity to be taken advantage
of. There is a proposal to invest
$375,000 for the assurance of the
future of this fine old institution
and a broadening of its service to
the community and the state. And
of that total Greensboro is asked
for only one-fifth—s7s,ooo. From
the standpoint of good business,
could we ask for a more liberal
offer?
"Guilford turns to us every year
a business revenue of over $75,000
—that may be expected to increase
as the college approaches its capac
ity of 300 students. Everything
points to the conclusion that Green
sboro has a present opportunity in
support of Guilford that overshad
ows even its deep and lasting obli
gation to that institution."

Mission Study Classes
Any student in college finds be
fore him a large number of student
organizations and other attractions
not directly connected with class
room work. It is useless to suppose
that any one person can take an
active part in all of these functions
and still get the most value from
his college course. At the same
time any person who refuses to
give any of his time to anything
besides his text book is missing a
practical development.
Seldom is there placed in the
reach of a student body more val
uable and practical information
than is now being offered by the
mission study classes held at the
church each Sunday evening.
The various courses headed by
competent members of the faculty
and community make it possible for
every one to select a subject which
appeals to him. There is no idea
of denominationalism, neither is
there effort made to influence the
students to become missionaries. The
real purpose is to give a practical
knowledge of the lives of people
in less fortunate parts of the world,
and to show our realizations to
these people in a strictly informal
way.
There are yet three of these les
sons to be given, so if you have
not been attending give at least one
hour next Sunday and see if you
do not become interested.
ALUMNI NEWS
Edgar Mcßane, 'l4, is head of
the department of mathematics in
the Pomona High School. He also
has charge of the athletics. Mr.
Mcßane when on the campus Sun
day said that he is going to have
a good baseball team this spring.
Many old Guilfordians will remem
ber how Mc. caught the line drives
out in the left field while playing
for Guilford. His performing was
so good that as soon as he graduat
ed, the Greensboro people called
THE 6UILFORDIAN
him over to Greensboro to play ball
for them, and now he is teaching
their young fellows how to play
the game.

Walter S. Nicholson, 'O7, is pastor
of the church at the Berry Schools
of Mount Berry, Georgia. From the
Berry News the Rev. Nicholson is
doing a great work for these schools.
A few weeks ago Mr. Nicholson
held a series of meetings in the
Berry Schools and seventy-five young
men decided to change their way of
living. This certainly proves that
Mr. Nicholson is having a great
influence among the young people.

on either the 14th or 21st if ar
rangements can be made for either
