T. GILBERT PEARSON, HEAD
AMERICAN AUDUBON SOCIETY,
GUILFORD ALUMNUS, HERE
Talks to Students In Zatasian
Hall Saturday Afternoon
T. Gilbert Pearson, '97, one of
Guilford's most distinguished al
umni, a national authority on or
nithology, and president of the
National Audubon Society was a
visitor at the college, Saturday.
In 1891 Air. Pearson entered the
college. While at Guilford he was
a member of the Websterian Lit
erary society. In his address to
the students in the Zatasian Hall
Saturday afternoon he mentioned
the location of his society in room
number two of King hall. He
recalled the receptions given by
the Webs, to the Philagorean
society, there being only one so
ciety for girls at that time. Dur
ing his stay at Guilford he was
curator of the museum. He made
the collection of species of birds
which the college now possesses.
Since the age of twelve he has
been interested in the study of
bird life.
After graduation at Guilford lie
was a student at the University
of North Carolina. He taught at
Guilford for two years and at the
North Carolina State Normal Col
lege for the same number of years.
In his talk to the students, Mr.
Pearson discussid the various
kinds of birds, but mainly empha
sized the protective side of the
work of tlie Audubon Society.
He stated that in North Carolina
alone there are 333 species of
birds. He showed the enormous
aid that birds give to man by the
destruclion of insect pests, and
the necessity of more adequate
protection for them. Mentioning
that great physical benefits are
gained by the sportsman he said
that many species of birds have
already been exterminated by
indiscriminate killing. Certain
commercial interests are to blame
of this rathe than true sportsmen.
Wild bird life is threatened with
extinction; indeed species like
the passenger pigeon have disap

YALE PROFESSOR ADDRESSES
CHAPEL WEDNESDAY MORNING
Dr. L. A. Weigle Speaks on Re
ligious Education to Students
At chapel last Wednesday
Doctor L. A. Weigle of the Re
ligious Education Department of
Yale University spoke on the pre
sent status of religious training
of the young people of America.
He mentioned the home, the
church, and the school as the
three agencies by which this train
ing may be given.
Tile speaker stated that busi
ness now occupies so much of the
time of the average American
family that the home is little
more than "a place to put the
things we buy." There is little
or no family worship, and a lack
of definite religious training;
thus the home is not an effective
agency in carrying on this work.
Dr. Weigle said that in the Sun
day school, the training agency
of the church the lessons are not
adapted to the needs of the
children. The International Sun
day School lessons are practically
the same for all ages, and are
taken from the narrative portion
of tlie liible alone. In the public
schools there is no religious ele
ment other than Bible reading
and recitation of the Lord's
Prayer. There is no definite in
struction in religion in the schools
because of the opposition of a
minority of the citizens.
Dr. Weigle then named some of
the organizations of the country
which had endeavored to provide
for religious instruction in the
schools. In 1903 the Religious
Education Association was organ
ized with the object of combining
religious ideals with educational
forces. In 1 DOS graded Sunday

Guilford Cage Men Mark Up Victories Against
Lenoir College and Statesville Athletic Club;
Lose to Presbyterian Wildcats in Hard Game
Guilford cagers outscored both
the Lutherans and the Statesville
Club, but fell before the attack of
the Wildcats in last week's trip.
The scores even up the reverses
suffered by the Quakers in the in
itial games with Trinity and Car
olina. Scores were: Statesville
Athletic club 32-34, Lenoir 15-30,
Davidson 33-23.
The Quaker doubled the score
on Statesville in the first half, but
were forced to a tie in the final
period, and nosed out ahead only
in the last minute of play. States
ville had a chance to knot the
count again with two free tosses
for a foul, but both throws missed
the basket.

BOK PEACE PLAN DISCUSSED
DY FACULTY AND STUDENTS
IN MEM. HALL MASS MEETING
In the student body's discus
sion of the Bok Peace Plan at
Memorial Hall last Tuesday even
ing. the plan itself was pushed
aside and a debate staged center
ing around the importance or un
importance of articles X and XVI
of the League of Nations. There
were many and varied opinions
expressed, both for and against
the plan.
The practical side of the plan
seemed to be the main talking
point of those who favored it. It
was pointed out that the document
has nothing of the idealistic about
it that will prevent its being ac
tually put into use. It was agreed
that the plan would probably not
serve to stop all wars, at once and
forever, but it would serve as a
stepping stone toward something
else that will produce the results
so much desired. It was also men
tioned that this plan embodies in
a condensed form, the best of all
of the twenty-two thousand plans
that were submitted. This gives
a good idea of what a cross sec
tion of the country's mind is like.
Those who opposed the plan
called to mind the fact that there
is already in existence one cove
nant whereby it is hoped to main
tain the peace of the world. The
several speakers mentioned a
number of things that they con
sidered should have been insert
ed in the winning plan: Restric
tion of armaments is not men
tioned. There is no proposal for
a referendum of war questions to
the people before there can lie a
declaration of war. There is 110
proposals for peace conferences in
the future.

The Lenoir game was a slow
affair. Lenoir was unable to de
fend the goal against Guilford's
forwards. J. W. Frazier scored
consistently, caging the leather
five times in the first half. Le
noir's lineup was irregular, Hawn
not being able to get in the game.

MANLOVE-MAN OF MANY
FACES FILLS LYCEDM NUMBER
Versatile Portrayer of Character
Scores Great Success in
Season's Second Number
OTHER NUMBERS FOLLOW
"Manlove, The Man of Many
Faces" so ran the advertisement
which has been posted about the
campus for over two weeks, and
the Lyceum number, which was
given last Saturday night, Feb. 2,
looked forward to with no little
bit of impatience. The entertain
ment was just the kind the weary
and exam-racked student body
needed to complete its recupera
tion from the recent ordeal.
Many of the human emotions
—humor, sympathy, pathos, and
sorrow—were made to respond to
the will of Mr. Manlove. One of
his best humorous impersonations
was that of Uncle Josh in New
York City. When he gave the
Pennsylvania Dutchman telling a
neighbor about the death of his
little son, the audience forgot
Manlove, the player upon the
stage, and were swayed by the
reality of the ofd man's sorrow.
Some of the more tender hearted
were heard to sob and sniffle.
The Italian telling about his
first baseball game, the Jew talk
ing of th extravagance of women,
the Irishman giving a lecture
against women, and accidentally
discovering his wife in the audi
ence, the Swede describing his
first experience in an automobile,
the Frenchman performing his
magic—all of these were foreign
impersonations /which were es
pecially entertaining, for every
one is familiar with the average
foreigner of these nationalities.

In the Davidson game the
Quakers led off with a seven point
gain, hut were not able to hold
the balance against the Wildcats.
The great defensive work of Boggs
[ for Davidson and the all around
good playing of J. G. Frazier
featured the contest. The game
was ragged and followed rough
and tumble tactics.

DR. BHD RETURNS FROM
NORTHERN TRIP, OPTIMISTIC
OVER OUILFORD CAMPAIGN
Philadelphia Friends Show Real
Sympathy Toward Endow
ment Drive
President Raymond Binford has
just returned from a two week's
visit to Philadelphia. The pur
pose of Doctor Binford's trip was
to aid in the work which the
Friends are doing- in behalf of the
endowment campaign for Guil
ford.
In speaking of his trip Dr. Bin
ford expresses a genuine appre
ciation of the real and sympa
thetic interest which Philadel
phia Friends are manifesting in
the success of Guilford College.
As regards the loyalty of the
Philadelphia Friends, Dr. Binford
says that several of the business
men who are burdened with the
press of business duties are giving
days of their time to the work of
tlie endowment campaign. Most
of the Friends to whom Guilford's
cause is being presented are well
nigh overwhelmed with things of
interest in their own home com
munities, both pertaining to the
work of Friends and to the gener
al needs of the country and ap
peals are constantly coming from
Europe, and from numerous in
stitutions and movements. I Tow
ever, they have with very few ex
ceptions made subscriptions to
Guilford's endowment and have
manifested a profound concern for
the success of the college.
Ihe total subscriptions they
have made to Guilford now
amount to approximately $26,000
and more than 100 Friends are
represented in these contribut
ions. This is considerably more
than has been subscribed to Guil
ford College at any other time
from the Friends of this region.
It is anticipated that at least an
other 100 Friends will respond,
but mostly with small gifts.
1 he members of the Guilford
Campaign Committee of Phila
delphia have worked loyally and
with a fine spirit and Doctor Bin
ford says that it has been a great
pleasure and a real inspiration to
be associated with them in this
work.
