THE GUILFORDIAN
VOL. IX.
N. G. STATE NOSES OUT
AHEAD IN SECOND CLASH
WITH GUILFORD BATSMEN
Quakers Out-batted in Final Mix
up With N. C. Aggies;
English Stars for Guilford
The Quakers fell for the second
time before the powerful baseball
machine of State college on Tuesday,
April 10, at Greensboro, taking the
lesser part of 5-3 score. The feat
ures of the game were, the curlers
of Ferrell, Guiford's moundsman,
and the unusual skill which the vis
iting infield displayed in tossing
the turnip about the lot. State
outhit the Doak affair, but this was
due largely to slow fielding on the
part of the latter. Guilford flailed
the apple five times for gains, three
of which were two-sackers. Hart
sell's bunch succeeded in douliling
this number.
State started the fray by marking
up counters in the first frame off
of two single hits and a weakness
in the Quaker infield. Guilford
never rallied against this initial ag
gression until the fifth when Eng
lish swatted one that sent him to the
keystone sack. In the sixth inning
following this rally, Hayworth cross
ed the rubber, forced in by Beal,
the State twirler. Guilford's two
other runs came in the eighth as a
result of a double by Winn and a
single by English. At this juncture
Beal was hoisted out of his position
in favor of Allen, a south paw.
Outside of the first inning, State's
hits and runs were well scattered,
finishing up her final score, by the
addition of one counter in the ninth.

GRADUATING STUDENTS
PRESENT FIRST RECITAL
Misses Merriman and White
Appear in Varied Program
In the first graduation recital of the
year Miss Lloyd Merriman and Miss
White gave to the audience in Me
morial hall Saturday night a strong
program of classic and modern com
posers. The program covered a
wide range of selections, including
representative work from eighteenth,
nineteenth, and twentieth century
writers. The numbers from Bach
and Beethoven formed a substantial
if austere background for the re
mainder of the program which was
in lighter vein.
Miss White played the "Bourree"
from Bach's third cellosuite with the
perfect balance due counterpoint
writing. Her correct interpretation
of the severe music of this period
deserves much praise . In the light
er numbers from Seeling and God
dard she displayed technic and ve
locity of a well trained hand. The
salon music of "Moment de Ca
price" and Woodham's "Nocturne"
gave a brilliant touch to the pro
gram contrasting sharply with the
heavier numbers of the classicists.
Miss White played these numbers
with elegane and feeling.
Miss Merriman's first number was
three movements from Beethoven's
Moonlight Sonata. She gave an ap
preciative interpretation of the deep
harmonies of the adagio movement
and a forceful presentation of the
"presto agitato". This difficult move
ment which is a practical endur
ance test, seemed to present no ob
stacles to Miss Merriman, for she
played it gracefully and smoothly.
In the Chopin number which was
probably the peak of the program,
she played like a master. The ex
acting "Revolutionary Etude" found
a correct interpreter in her. The fa
mous "Sunset Meditation" and
Liszt's "Dance of the Ghnomes"
were given with delicate color and
charming technique.
"Valse Caprice' from Charles Gil
bert Spross constituted the final
number. This was arranged for two
pianos, and required a strict sense
of rhythm from both the graduates.
They played it well.
The work of Miss Byrd with her
music department merits much
praise. The Tecital was without
doubt the best program that the
music department has given this
year, and it was made possible
through her efforts in traning the
graduates. Her selection of an ar
tistic and well balanced program
counts for much in the college en
tertainment.
GIRLS' TOURNAMENT IN
TENNIS IS UNDER WAY
The girls' preliminary tennis tour
nament has begun. The first games
will be played between members of
the same classes. Later, those girls
winning out over all their class
mates will compete with the win
ners from other classes in an inter
class tournament.

JUPITOR PLUVIUS LANDS
HEAVILY ON SCHEDULE
"Jupe" Pluvius played quite a
prominent role in Quaker sports the
past week. His honor ruled out
no less than three contests. Two
baseball games, one with Wake
Forest that was to have been played
at Guilford, and one with Carolina
that should have reeled off on the
Chapel Hill diamond. The game
with the University will probably be
played on the twenty-fourth. A
track meet with Trinity, scheduled
for last Saturday, on the Trinity
field was also rained out of ex
istence.
The track team however, has
two more frays booked, one with
Elon at Guilford, April 26, one
with Davidson on the Presbyterian
ground, April 28. Causey an
nounces that his team is fast round

pleased the audience very much.
Misses Helen Bostick, Nell Car
roll. Marie Beaman, Edith Macon,
and Margaret Armfield responded
on the part of the guests to the
welcome of the Websterian pres
ident, Hersel Macon.
Following the close of the formal
program the meeting adjourned to

hour. Here, delightful refreshments
consisting of neapolitan cream, cake,
salted almonds, coffee and mints
were served.

PHILADELPHIA FRIENDS
STAND BEHIND GUILFORD
SAYS PRESIDENT BINFORD
President Returns From Visit In
North; Interviews Mr. Arnette
"Philadelphia Friends are taking
up the cause of Guilford," reports
President Binford after his trip to
Philadelphia, New York, Worcester,
Mass., Harvard, High Falls, New
Bedford, Bethlehem, Virginia,
Weatherly, and other places in
quest of faculty for next year and
in the interest of the endowment
campaign.
Dr. Binford spent three days in
Philadelphia, where a committee of
prominent Friends, some of them
old Guilfordians, was formed to
present the cause of the college to
the Friends of that city. This com
mittee consisted of: Walter Havi
land, chairman; President W. W.
Comfort, Professor Reynard, Pro
fessor Edmund Wilson, all of Haver
ford; T. Edgar Snipes, of the class
of 'O3, William Overman, William
Allen, '99, John Way, and Aldred
Scattergood. A statement of Guil
ford's needs will be sent to these
Friends, who will put it out over
their signatures. Private appeals
will be made, though there will be
no public presentation.
Several hundred thousand people
were attending the Philadelphia
Yearly meeting at this time. As a
point of interest, the president noted
that while the sessions of the meet
ing were about four hours long, very
few of the great audience left or
went to sleep. Among other business,
the meeting sent a letter of apprecia
tion to Governor Pinchott of Penn
sylvania, commending his sturdy en
forcement of the prohibition laws.
Dr. Binford was entertained by
the North Carolina club, at one
of its monthly luncheons. His
speech on this occasion was a
toast to North Carolina.
"Guilford is making great prog
ress in the campaign," said Mr.
Trevor Arnette, secretary of the
General Education board, to Dr.
Binford, who visited the office of the
hoard while in New York. Both
Dr. Butterick and Mr. Arnette seem
ed pleased with the results of the
endowment campaign thus far, be
lieving that Guilford will certainly
raised the required fund. The sub
scription at present is about $130,-
000.
Dr. Binford visited several points
in New England, and was enter
tained at the home of Sarah Swift,
a very generous Friend, who has
helped out a number of Quaker
schools in the past.
Dr. Binford considers his tour
quite successful in regard to both
campaign and faculty, though no
definite statement has yet been issued
as to the latter.
