ALUMNI NOTES
Notice to Alumni:—Recently
the college Alumni editor sent out
four hundred News sheets to mem
bers of the Alumni Association,
requesting that these be fdled in
and returned at an early date. Sev
eral of these sheets have been re
turned, bringing interesting and
valuable information. With one
of these was enclosed a short let
ter containing the following: "J
am enclosing a few remarks on
the News sheet. I feel that my
accomplishments are not worth
bothering to print but am sending
the sheet anyhow to show you that
I, at least, have a spirit of co-oper
ation." Perhaps a number of the
Alumni feel the same way about
their accomplishments, but the !
Guilfordian Board and officials of
the college hope that they will j
also have the same spirit of co
operation, and that every one of
the four hundred blanks will be
be returned and filled in in detail. J

ter my twelve years connection ;
with two state universities I am a

them is one of the finest things in
American education.

WORK, SAYS DR. HOBBS
!N GHAPET EXERCISES
''l sou Id like to speak a word of
encouragement to the discourag
ed, stated Dr. Hobbs in Friday's
chapel exercises. He quoted the
following from William James'
chapter on habit: "Let no youth
have any enxietv about the upshot
of his education, whatever the line
of it may be. If he keep faithfully
busy each hour of the working day
he may safely leave the final re
sult to itself."
"One need not be concerned,"
works." "We are here for the
| asserted Dr. Hobbs, "provided one
j sake of scholarship, I take it. One
| can do the things set before him
j if one gives them proper attention.
Our main object is to get an edu
cation in order to discover things.
All students should develop their
minds so that they will be among
, the competent ones, and then they
will be able to secure and retain
I good positions."
"A person's time is wasted,"
said the speaker, "if it could be
more profitably employed. Now
is the time to prepare for the final
examinations."
The speaker concluded by men
tioning Pendleton King as study
ing Greek for four hours daily,
thus showing the thoroughness of
preparation of the old school.
MISS KBPF JUSTIFIES
COLLEGIATE TRAINING
Miss kopf in her chapel talk
of last Tuesday related two inci
dents, one of which was about a
business man who had never at
tended college expressed his views,
stating that a college education
was of no benefit to business men.
Ihe second was concerning the
will of an old gentleman, This
man, again not a college man, left
a fortune of $124,000. The con
ditions were that his neices and
nephews should not receive a pen
ny till after they had graduated
from college, and then only a
small sum at first. A remark of
the old gentleman was quoted: "J
do know that if I had received a
college education I should have
,'iven more to life and gotten more
out of life."
"College life," said the speaker,
"should develop the intellectual,
so"ial and spiritual sides of our
i 1 \os. All round d?velopme it
is what we want." Four years are
not enough for intelle tual devel
opment for it is a slow process.
Ihe Mentor contains this re
ommendation, "Learn one thin"
a day."
Miss kopf stated that cramming
causes one to lose the connecting
links in a field of knowledge. She
stressed the necessity of attending
to one's social duties and stated
that one should get pleasure out
of them. She emphasized the fact
that neither side of one's develop
ment should he neglected.

TH E GUILFORDIAN
A WAGGIN TONGUE
By Beulah Allen
Trinity has launched her ama
teur theatrical season by choosing
Rastand's "Cyrano De Bergerac"
for their production this year. De
spite the difficulties of properly
interpreting the leading role, that
of the name part, they are enthusi
astic over the prospects of staging
the masterpiece. Just who is to
don the hig nose, and portray the
! tragic figure of Cyrano has not
j been announced.
Earlham College's "Mask and
Mantle Club"' which has many am
ateur successes to its credit, such
as "Peg-O-My Heart," ''Daddy-
Long-Legs," etc., is launching out
into new fields. Under its auspi
ces S. H. Clark of the Chatauqua
platform will present at that
college, George Bernard Shaw's
masterpiece "Saint Joan" at an
early date. As a passing comment
, G. li. Shaw seems to have, after
; much argument, convinced the
dramatic critics that he's right
and they are wrong.
Guilford gets her share of Ath
letic fame one way or another.
First, "Chick' Doali, a Guilford
graduate coached a State Cham
pionship team down at N. C. State
in 1924, then Tom Zachary knock
ed the wind out of the New York
Giants in the world series. Be
sides this, Guilford's one time foot
hall star, Tom Cox, was for a time
Captain of State's Wolf pack team
this year, and is still the most out
standing satellite. George Crisp
and Bartemus Nicholson, also one
time Guilford football men are
holding down the bench as "first
class varsity substitutes 011 the
Wolfpack team.
Little Eleanor, who was reared
in a liberal religious atmosphere,
vcisited relatives whose creed was
decidedly straight-laced.
"111 Aunt Maria's church," she
announced 011 her return, "the ser
mons are much louder and much
longer and full of queer words.
I didn t like them, but of course 1
let my expression be impolite;
when the minister said things 1
knew were not so, 1 just crossed
my finger 3. M

Working Your Way
! Made Feasible
Writing life insurance has en
> abled many a man to pay his
way through college. It is a
social service.
To induce your fellows to
form habits of thrift—to obli
gate them to put by a little of
their income—to safeguard them
against future loss of earning
power—is a form of effort that
brings keen satisfaction as well
as profit.
These are only a few of the
reason why the insurance busi
ness today is attracting the very
best brains of America.
Write for full particulars of
a plan whereby you can assist
yourself through college, ajnd,
at the same time, prepare for a
profitable and satisfactory career.
