THE GUILFORDIAN
VOL. X.
CRIMSON AND GRAY SQUAD
FAST ROUNDING INTO AN
ADLE FOOTBALL MACHINE
Six Letter Men Will Probably
Be in Line-Up When First
Whistle Blows
Thirty leather lunged Crimson
and Gray warriors are daily bat
tering their tireless muscles to the
solidness of iron. What else couid
be the result of smashing drives
through mountains of husky man
hood, miles of rlunning, and pass
ages through the third degree? These
iron men are being coupled and
riveted into a machine that will,
according to Coach Doak, make
tough traveling for many state teams 1
this fall. Just how true these pre
dictions are will be seen on Satur
day the 29th, when the Guilford
warriors will battle Trinity, at Dur
ham.
Six letter men will appear in the
lineup as it appears to the mentor
now. The team has as its mainstay,
Captain Everette Mcßane, of Ala
mance county, who is starting his
fourth year as a first string man.
He will plav the position of left
halfback and call signals.
Thomas English, of Trinity, who
last year played halfback on the
scrub team has been shifted to left
end where in practice he is pulling
down some beautiful forward passes.
On the other end will appear' Block
Smith, of Greensboro, a letter man j
and another of the foundations of j
the team.
Warrick, for two years holding
down varsity position at center, will
continue to snap the oval. Herring,
of Goldsboro, a new man of Guil
ford, is doing some pretty work at
left tackle where he is apt to start
against the sons of Trinity.
Gray Shore, of Winston-Salem,
and Jack Harrell. of Goldsboro,
both experienced men of ?h.- o'iaker
ere, furnish some of the stiffness
to Doak's line and will be found
doing guard duty when the releree s
whistle opens the first game.
Neece, a heavyweight, from last 1
year's scrub squad, is also adding
stamina •• the Quaker wall and is
bursting through in the name of
right tackle. Woody, from Alamance
county, a seasoned man in handling
the pigskin, is taking the place of
Purvis, last year's fullback, and ac
cording to the mentor is a valuable
addition to the Guilford backfield.
Lassiter, Casey and Knight, also
seasoned men, have only been on the
gridiron a week for practice but are
expected to add impetus to the back
field in the first game.
New English Head Reads
Own Poems at Chapel
Professor Lester C. Farris of
Guilford college made hi-r first ap
pearance before the stuelent-hodv

METROPOLITAN OPERA
STAR TO GOME HERE
Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell Also
Comes in This Year's
Lyceum Course
Included in the Guilford college
lyeum course this year is Nina
Morgana, of the Metropolitan opera
company, one of the proteges of
Caruso, and who has appeared with
him a number of times.
She is a very popular soprano,
singing leading coloratura roles at
Metropolitan opera. The date of
her appearance here has not been
definitely fixed but it will probably
be toward the first of the year.
Dr. Wilfred T. Grenfell, famous
medical missionary of the polar
regions, will also appear before
the Guilford college audience some
time during the scholastic year.
He has degrees from colleges
all over the world. King Edward
of England conferred upon him the
Order of Companion of St. Michael
and St. George. Oxford gave him
the only honorary M. D. which the
institution has every bestowed.
Harvard also falls in line by be
stowing 011 Dr. Grenell an honorary
M. A. The college bureau feels very
fortunate in being able to secure
Dr. Grenfell. His subject here will
be '"Midst Ice and Snow in Lab
rador." This lecture will be illus
trated with special moving pictures
and slides.
The first number of the lyceum
course is the concert of the Filipino
quartet which will be given at Guil
ford October 20. They come with
both vocal and instrumental selec
tions, which will be mostly interpre
tations of the music of their own
land. These artists are considered to
be the best in their field.
An impersonator completes this
course. The date of his advent is
uncertain. He travels with a full
wardrobe and a changeable face.
Accordinsi to testimony received
here he can imitate the criminal as
well as the Christ, the oriental as
well as the occidenal.

TILMAN HOBSON. EVANGELIST
OF PASADENA, CALIFORNIA IS
HOLDING REVIVAL MEETINGS
Tilman Hobson, of Pasadena,
Calif., general superintendent of the
World's Evangelistic association, is
conducting a series of meetings at
the Guilford meeting house. The
services began Sunday, September
23, with a powerful sermon 011 the
subject of "Christian Courage or
Enthusiasm," dealing with the power
of the Bible in American life, ele
livered at thi morning hour. He
will continue to preach here for ten (
days or two weeks.
Mr. Hobson came to Guilford
meeting house at the urge of the con
gregation to conduct a revival, both
for the community and the student
body. During his stay he will de
liver two sermons daily, one at 3:00
o'clock, on various subjects per- |
taining to his evangelistic work. Mr.
Hobson came to Guilford directly ;
from Mt. Airy, where he has been i
holding a successful meeting at the
Friends church of that city.
What Dwight L. Moody was to
the Congregationalist church, so Mr.
Hobson is to the Friends e-hurch.
He is considered the leading Quaker •
evangelist of the world. During his
twenty years of ministry, Mr. Hob- |
son has crossed the continent some
forty times and following the clcse
of this meeting will make his forty
first transcontinental tour. He will
go to Wichita, Kansas, for a meet
ing following which, he will conduci
a series of meetings at Oskaloosa
lowa. Both of these cities are
Quaker college towns and Mr.
Hobson is looking forward to a
good series.
Although Hr. Hobson is a Quaker
evangelist and for a short time
previous to this tour acted as the
pastor for the Friends church at
Pasadena, he does not confine him
self strictly to Quaker meetings
but conducts "open" services in the
various tabernacles over the country. 1
It is said that through his in
spirational sermons over one hun
dred thousand souls have been con
verted and some five thousand
volunteers have entered various
Christian and missionary services.

JAMES WESTLEY WHITE
GIVES VOICE RECITAL
Program Selected From Classics;
Accompanied by Philip Jeffreys
Prof. James Westley White, popu
lar baritone of Greensboro, and
director of vocal music at Guilford,
gave to the college audiences of
Saturday night a program of much
merit. Philip Jeffreys of Greens
boro was Mr. White' accompanist.
The program was well selected
from the classics, and from modern
composers. Mr. White's first number
1 was two songs from Handel, given
; with delicate phrasing, and with re
markable smoothness in the legato
passages. Mr. White's voice is well
adapted to the richness and forceful
character of Handel's music.
Three German songs, works of
Richard Strauss, were given with
good diction, and with something of
the sturdiness and sound music of
the earlier German composers. But
i the height of the program was
1 reached in the aria from Verdi's
"Ballo in Maschera." Mr. White
had intense volume in the first part
of this work with perfect control;
in the second part of the aria, the
love theme, he sang with passionate
tenderness. The last part of the
aria approaching a grand final, was
I given with perfect evenness.
Professor White responded to re
quests for encores with a negro
spiritual and some Southern songs.

OR. CARLETON RECENTLY
ADDED TO FACDLTY, HAS
KING OF ENGLAND MEDAL
Was Medical Missionary in India
For More Than Forty Years
LIVED IN LEPER COLONY
Not many people have had the
honor of being decorated for bravery
by the King of England but this
can be ascribed to one of Guilford's
new instructors, Dr. Marcus B.
Carleton, of the biology department.
Dr. Carleton, who is a graduate of
Amherst College, and of the Uni
versity of New York, where he re
ceived his M. D., was born in
Indian and spent the greater part of
his life there, with the exception of
a few years in America. His work
has been mostly in Northern India,
in the Punjab district—which means
the district of the "Five Waters." He
specialized in optometry and in
surgery. "These two branches of
medical work are more generally
in demand in India today than per
haps any other," he said.
India Needs Doctors
"I am often asked what is needed
more in India." said Dr. Carleton,
'"and I always reply—medical mis
sionaries. There is an immense de
mand for medical workers especially
among the more ignorant classes of
natives. On some day as many as four
hundred patients come for many
miles on camels, elephants, donkeys,
and in ox-carts to receive treatment.
Cataracts on the eye are common
sights, and I can report as many as
three thousand eperations a year
for this one trouble."
Tells of Work
"Often people bring their sick
relatives from as far as eight miles
in the hope of obtaining relief. They
are wrapped in a blanket, swung be
tween two poles which the men carry
and are exposed to the hot sun and
weather conditions constantly. As
to the climate, Dr. Carleton says
that it is extremely arid, as there are
no rains from the first of September
to the last of December; after which
the rainy season sets in. During
the months of July and August
malaria is very prevalent and the
work of the doctors is heavy during
this period.
Work with Lepers
Besides his medical work, Dr.
Carleton has lived for years in a
leper colony of 3,000 people. It was
for his bravery in this work that he
received the "Kaisar-I-Hind" from
the King of England. In between all
this, he found time to run a hospital,
superintend a high school of 170
boys, five village schools, and was
even asked to open a girls' school
in Central India. He went down
to see about it and was courteously
but firmly refused by the natives.
When asked as to the reason of
their doing so, they replied that
as women have no soul it would be
a waste of time for them to learn.
This is an example of tne deplorable
condition in that country; where
less than one per cent of the women
know how to read or write.
He came to Guilford College at
the beginning of this term to assist
in biology.
