In addition to station work I am a member of the agricultural faculty of Rutgers College and the State University of New Jersey.

Passmore Elkinton of Phil adelphia in his chapel talk Thurs day, May IT, spoke on "Pathways of Life." He mentioned that some of these ways lead to suc cessful medical or law practice, and devoted housekeeping, to capable farming, and to successful commercial careers. "There are two ways of travel ing, the Christian way, and the heathen," said the speaker. "The heathen manner of traveling is marked by ruthless progress to ward the goal, and an utter dis regard of what should be done along the way. Christ, all trough the years of his earthly life, found time to raise the fallen and to succor the distressed. "Let us learn," said Mr. Elkin ton, "to live listening to the voice of God, for while the monetary reward of those who have! the beaten path may be greater, there is the reward of heart friendships that comes to those who "end a hand.' Thus the Christian c' 'ch is not primarily an organization, not an economic work, but a great work of friendship." :Read the Ads: Davidson Ends Baseball Season (Continued from page 1) ring the entire year, was the out standing fan in the pasture for Guilford.

Dr. Perisho, who was in Raleigh the 2. r >th and 26th, explained the situation at Guilford. The Ral eigh members are planning to so licit pledges from friends of Guilford, besides making liberal pledges personally. Prof. \. A Dixon of N. C.

The Contentnea Quarterly Aeeting at Oakland, Wayne coun ty. requested Dr. Perisho to pre sent Guilford's need to the meet ing, April 28, and to state the work already done toward secur ing the SoOO.OOO endowment. The Guilford college club of Wavnfe count}' met at Ithe Friends' meeting-house at Golds boro, April 29. Though the weath er was bad, the meeting was well attended. It differed from the majority of meetings, in that re freshments were served after, n >t before, the real business. The organization of Wayne county was completed and the captains of the soliciting teams of the vari ous meetings were chosen. Mable Edgerton Barden, Mrs. Williams Andrews, and L. A. Pearson were a special committee selected to receive pledges from the people of Goldsboro. For the j other sections of the county the following leaders were selected: ! Bethesda, Virgil Pike.

Mrs. Ivev Edger ton ; Oakland, Addison Branson: Rhodes. John S. Moore; Wood land, Miss Frances Moore. Dr. Perisho addressed the Ki wanis and Rotary clubs at Golds boro. At every meeting, fine feel ing seemed to exist toward Guil ford college. 'I he Guilford graduates and old students of Wilson county, es pecially of Rock Ridge, met May 3. Much interest was shown in learning the facts about the col lege and the work clone to increase the endownment.. George Short, an alumnus of Guilford, and su perintendent of the Rock Ridge high school, is one of the strongest supporters of the cause and is chairman of the campaign in that county. On May fi, a well-attended meeting of those interested in Guilford college assembled in the Friends' meeting-house at Be thesda. Real friendliness was manifest and there seemed great willingness to co-operate in the common end, the good of Guil ford. A great deal of indirect cam paign work has been done for the college by Dr. Perisho in address ing the graduating classes of num bers of high schools, Quite a num ber of the young men and women graduates are intending to come to Guilford. i xm. issa i; ■ aug i \zi J His || FROM THE PRESIDENT'S OFFICE fß|g Guilford's greatest asset is her alumni and former students.
