Among the many improvements on
the campus this year, the new poul
try /fard and the fine flock of
chickens should be placed near the
top. The credit for this valuable
addition must go to Professor Pan
coast, head of the mathematics de
partment, who has personally di
rected all of the work.
# * #
Now is the time to begin to pre
pare for mid-term examinations.
Early preparation would probably I
be an aid physically, since there
would be no need for loss of sleep
later.
# ■ *
Judging by the interest being
shown and the work being done at
this early date, Guilford is going
to have a Glee Club right this year.
Several other student activities should
profit by the example set by these
men.
* * *
That there is a strong religious
atmosphere among the college stu
dents has been shown by the extra
good attendance at the meetings
conducted by evangelist Hobson.
The services Saturday night struck
a vital blow at those who can smoke
cr leave it alone.

The Business Staff of Guilfordian
Asks Aid
The Business Staff of the Guil
fordian is at present putting on an
extra drive to secure advertisements.
The business concerns which buy
ads from us do it either to support
the college or as a money making
proposition.
Since we only solicit ads from
reliable and up-to-date people we
wish to make a special appeal to
the students to trade with our ad
vertisers. They are probably more
interested in you and your college
than other business men are, and
surely th y will treat you just as well
if not beiter than any one else.
Mention the fact that you saw
their advertisements in the Guilford
ian, and by so doing you can be
sure of accommodating yourself
as well as your paper.
Don't Lose Faith; Your Team
Met Big School
The big score which the Trinity
warriors piled up against our men
last Saturday shouldn't cause any
one to lose confidence in our team.
New students especially should re
member that we went against one
of the best teams in the state.
We take our hats off to Trinity
for she sends out good teams. How
ever, when we consider the number
of men from which her teams are
selected, and the money which she
has to back her atheletics in com
parison to Guilford's resources we
can see at once that our team made
a good show.
Guilford is small institution, and
founded on the principles and ideals
of a small institution, However,
practically all intercollegiate con
tests are entered into with much
larger schools. In spite of this we
are proud of our boys and the way
they fight always.
Do You Wait on the Two Who
Keep 200 Waiting
Probably due to the work of
the International Relations Club
Guilford students have a special
interest in the topics and news of
the day. Yi e consider this in
terest as an asset to the student
body. It also means that there is
a rush for the library each morning
when the two copies of the Greens
boro Daily News are brought in.
The two persons who get the
paper feel themselves lucky, so
they quietly take a seat back in the
corner of the reading room and
study the paper from beginning to
end. During this time a dozen or so
others are standing or sitting around
and often wasting a study period in
the hopes of being able to see the
headlines at least.
This siutation should be remedied.
If over two hundred students must
depend on two papers then each
person should greatly limit the
time which he keeps the paper,
especially in the morning. The con
tinued stories and such literary
articles should not be read until
the afternoon, for if one person
keeps the paper fifteen minutes 01
more it probably means that some
interested person will not have the
chance to read any of the news of
the dav.

Fifteen Conversions at Re
vival Led by Mr. Hobson
The series of meetings, which is
being conducted at Guilford College
meeting house by Rev. Tilman Hob
son, has been well attended by th"
community people and by the college
students.
An outstanding result of the meet
ing so far, is 15 conversions, and
the decision of 20 young people to
dedicate their lives to some form of
Christian service.
THE GUILFORDI AN
y. DEPARTMENT NOTES :j: I
More New Books—
A new collection of books for the I
Home Economics Department has
arrived and is now in the library.
The funds for buying these books
were raised from the proceeds of
the Haverford Banquet at which
the Domestic Science girls were
waitresses. The list is as follows:
Woodman: Textiles, \ ultes House
hold Chemistry, Gardener's PublL
Health Nursing, Ely's Elementary
Principles of Economics, Munsells's
Color Notation, Hill's The Up-to-
Date Waitress and Matthew's Elem
entary Home Economics.
Increase in History
Students—
There is considerable increase in j
the History Department. Profes
sor Anscombe says that when he
came here six years ago there were
only thirty-five students in the De
partment of History, whereas now
he has nearly one hundred and
twenty, an increase of eighty-five.
New English Section—
Owing to the increase in numbers
of students in the freshman class
it has been found necessary to form
a new section of English one. This
section, the instruction in which will
not be different from that in the
others, will be headed by Miss
Kopf. This is another evidence of
the increasing popularity of Guil
ford.
X # #
New Chemistry Material—
The Chemistry Department of j
Guilford Coflege is the largest in
the history of the college. There
are sixty-two students in Chemistry
To take care of the increase in
the number of students over
year an entire new section of labor
atatory desks in being installed in
the laboratory, making desk room: for
65 students. The advanced laboratory
has been outfitted for students in
Qualitative Analysis and Organic
Chemistry:
Willam Wesley Blair of the
senior class and Paul G. Knight of
the class of '25 will assist in the
department this year.
* * *
Larger Space in Laboratory—
The working space of the biology
laboratory department has been
materially increased by the removal
of the cases of bird eggs so long a
part of the department. This space
has been taken up by the installation
of new dissecting tables. $500.00
worth of additional equipment has
been added to the department. Five
new microscopes have been installed
which increases the capacity for in
dividual work from fifteen to twenty.
LECTURE ON TOBACCO
(Continued frcm pace 1)
in to examine the works, He found
them clogged with nicotine. If it
would clog the works of a brass
monkey, why would it not clog
those of a real one."
He also mentioned that one drop
of nicotine would kill a dog, and
1 that two drops of empy rheumatic
oil would kill a cat, though cats are
supposed to have nine lives. In
closing he begged all young people
to keep strong and clean and to
I refrain from the tobacco habit.
