CAMPAIGN COMMENT Dick Hobbs speaks the serious mind. We expect to continue the campaign here in Greensboro until the entire amount is raised. # • • Ten years from now, west Greens boro will be the college section of town. Even with all the finish and polish, a college lends, some busi ness men fail to see what they are missing for themselves and for their children. ♦ # * The neighborhood rose to the sit uation remarkably well. J. Frank lin Davis bespeaks the community interest when he starts the contri butions off with half his year's sala ry. * * # Charles Lambeth made direct hits in his remarks. He speaks like two hundred dollars. * # * Dr. Binford's chart talks catch the business eye. Did you see the inter est spread when the crowd found out that Guilford's light and water bill is about half the amount of money necessary to supply a similar sized educational institution near here? * * * What about it?—$100,000 into the community for SIO,OOO. Looks as though we should be able to raise that much money when the General Education Board is giving SIOO,OOO. # * Joe White gets out his schedule and figures that for every sl4 the rest of the county raise, we have to put up only sl. Yet all the money will be invested in this community. GUILFORD COMMUNITY' HEEDS CAMPAIGN GALL (Continued from pane 11 faculty, arose and expressed himself on what the community means to the college. "We are fortunate," he stated, ''at Guilford college to have a commu nity. There are many colleges who are not fortunate enough to have one and an examination of such a one of these institutions shows plainly that there is something iack ing. "It would be a sad thing for Guilford, if she did not have the moral and intellectual support of her surrounding community," he continued. "The community is car rying out the high ideals that the college proposes, and may the time neever come when it fails to get be hind the college and support it. "Not only does the community offer its moral support," Professor Davis later stated, "but it will sac rifice its maternal possessions for the good of the college. This is a time for the Guilford Clan to rally its forces and answer this last call of Guilford college for aid." Pro pelled by this feeling, he pledged one half of his year's salary to the cause. This offer from one so dear ly loved among the community pro duced a climatic effect on the ban queters and turned the enthusiasm into a serious and intense reality. Miss Sally Newman, principal of the high school, expressed her appre ciation of the aid that the college had indirectly given the high school. "The college," she said, "has brought the public school up to a standard equal to that of any other high school in the state by its in fluence on athletics, its wide scope in elevating entertainment and its educational facilities And did you know," she asked, "that ninety per cent of the Giulford high school graduates attend college? This is unusual when we bear in mind that the average of other high schools is 'mly ten per cent." Following Miss Newman, H. L. Lannon told in a characteristic man ner why he had moved to Guilford college community and how much the institution meant to him. Henry M. Crutihfield speaking on what the college meant to the community financially, showed how the value of the outlying property had increased because of the col ege's proximity. Dr. L. L. Hobbs, president emer itis of the college, followed and expressed himself in eloquent terms on the pleasure he experienced in living in the Guilford college com munity and its kindness toward him. Dr. Perisho then brought the sub ject of the present endowment now being waged by Guilford to the minds of tho people present and spoke in belt llf of the drive now underway to increase the endowment of the college to one half a million. He outlined the present status of conditions of the institution from a business standpoint and stated, fur ther, that the time had come when Guilford stood at the parting of the ways. "Shall she go forward or drop back?" he challenged. "To keep on in the even tenor of its present con dition means that it will have to fall back and gradually be dropped from the high efficiency standard of a class "A" college to that of a junior college. To increase the en dowment to $500,000," he continued, "means to go forward to unlimited possibilities. The endowment must be raised." Joseph D. White, the last speak er of the evening then outlined a plan whereby the Guilford college community will assume their share of the responsibility. "If Greens boro can raise $75,000 and High Point $60,000" he said, "then Guil ford college community, to which the college means so much, can raise SIO,OOO. And as Dr. Binford has said, 'lt is a case of sacrificing something, or lose all.' " According to plan, nine teams have been organized for the purpose of canvassing the friends of the college for funds. Dr. Hobbs has been appointed consulting chairman of the organization and also a cap tain of a team. The following persons were appointed captains of the various teams: J. Franklin Da vis; W. Alpheus White, Henry M. Crutchfield, Robert S. Doak, and Rhesa L. Newlin. The banquet was in charge of Joseph White, secretary of the Guil ford College Community club, who at ted in the absence of Ruth Coble, 'l7, president. He had as his assist ants Era Lasley, 'l3, and Bessie V. Noles. Miss Beatrice Byrd and the Glee Club quartet added much to the evening's enjoyment by their music al numbers. The college girls of the commu nity served the banquet dinner. GLEE CLUB SCHEDULE Mar. 3 —McLeansville. Mar. 7—Jamestown. Mar. 9—Reidsville. Mar 16 —Asheboro. Mar. 20 —High Point.

In an swering this question let us exem plify. It was most unmistakably an extravagance for the students at Guilford to purchase a song book containing 286 songs when he uses six, or at the most eight, through out his college career. Of course he bought these books under pressure and we think that this pressure was only ne essary because he failed to see the logic of purchasing 286 songs that he would not use. Why thought he, would not a little sheet with "He Leadeth Me" and the re maining five on it satisfy the chapel needs? Or, better yet, let the fresh man spend an hour when he first arrives at Guilford in memorizing the songs that lie must use in chapel the remaining years of his stay at Guilford. The extravagance has been shown. Now when can it become not so? We thought that probably when these books arrived we would be permitted to get out of the usual catalogue of six, but it seems that the rut was worn too deep and we sing the same things over every morning. We do not object to relig ious songs; in fact they add a certain dignity to chapel exercises. But even religious songs develop into monotonous exercises after ex tended periods of time. It was sug gested to us rather forcibly that we needed some song books. Let us pray that there may come a sug gestion that we use them. DR. PERISHO DELIVERS WASHINDTON ADDRESS On February 22, Dr. Perisho ad dressed the students of Bessemer high school of Greensboro, N. C. The occasion was one of much en thusisam because Dr. Perisho gave his lecture intimately known as, "Perisho's 'different' George Washi ngton lecture." "George Washington was Ameri ca's first president, he was a great soldier and so on, but did you know he was the greatest farmer of his day?" Dr. Perisho asked. "George Washington, farmer," he went on, "was the first man to introduce ro tation of crops. Further, besides being known as the first president of the United States, he was also famous in his day as the possessor of the finest breed of horses, the best herd of sheep and the owner of the best grade of cows to be found in the whole continent of North America." This fe a different role for Wash ington in the eyes of many Ameri cans who love to think of him as "The father of our country" and its variance from the national tradition always adds a touch of novelty to his life. Informal Social Held at Founders The informal social at Founders ball Saturady evening furnished amusement for the young folks, in various forms for about two hours. Tables were arranged in the Zay hall for games, such as rook, pro gressive hearts, and dominoes. Those who had too many consci entious scruples to engage in the worldly game of rook sought amuse ment in the Phil hall where old as well as modern games were play ed.
