The re turn of Fred Thomas bolstered up the team in its offensive and defensive play. J. W. Frazier was the high scorer on the trip but was followed closely by Ferrell and R. Smith, while the de fensive work of Thomas and Capt. Tew Was outstanding during the entire trip. Sparger, Herring and F. Smith were substituted in many of the games.

C„ FEBRUARY 11. 1925, IDA TARBELL, AUTHORESS, TO LECTURE MARCH 3 FAMOUS ECONOMICAL AND SOCIO LOGICAL WRITER TO COMPLETE LYCEUM COURSE The coming of Miss Ida Tarbell to Guilford College 011 the 3rd of March will be the last number of the Lyceum caurse. This number bids fair to be one of exceptional interest. Miss Tar bell, whose native state is Pennsylvania, is well known as an editor, lecturer and . / author. As an editor, .Miss Tarbell's first ex perience was with "The Chautauquan," a magazine founded in interest of the Chatauqua. After several years of this work .Miss Tarbell Went to Europe to continue her studies in Frence biogra phy and history. During her stay in France, Miss Tarbell studied at the Sorbonne and College de France. After her return from Paris she again became interested in magazine work and during the Spanish-American war was sent to Washington in interest of Mc- Clure's Magazine. Since the Wodld war, Miss Tarbell has traveled in Belgium, France, Eng land and Italy, studying the economic changes which were brought about by the war. As an author, Miss Tarbell has achieved renown. Some of her best known writings are as follows: "The Business of Being a Woman," "New Ideals in Business," "Life of Madam Roland," "History of the Standard 00l Company" and a number of volumes on Abraham Lincoln. An intereseting per sonality sketch can be found in a re cent issue of the American Magazine concerning Miss Tarbell, entitled, "The Famous Writer Who Did Intend to be a Writer." EXAMS AND RUMORS AND FEARS AND TREMRLINGS By this writing mid-term exams are a tiling of the past, and since there is no immediate danger of hurting some sen sitive professor's soul by commenting unfriendly on his pet methods of flunk ing—writing on the subject becomes relatively an easy one. The only labor is collecting material and writing leg- I ibly for the printer's sake. I Mid-terms, and even finals for that I matter are of great help in getting the professor and his pupils to understand each other, in that these exains provoke an enthusiastic interest in the subject on hand. Quite a number of people, who had never been able to hear the breakfast bell before, arose at 3:00 p. m. every morning in the pursuit of knowledge; nad many more burned the college electricity to the wee small hours, regardless of expense. History I had a large following, prob ebly being the most interesting of the exams—though algebra and mathemat ical analysis ran it a close second. Most of the history students feverishly outlined the whole book, memorized it, and then outlined more, and so on ad finitum; all this taking place behind closed doors. Freshman math, caused many tears, being assured consolingly by all upper classmen that Professor Pancoast gave awful exams, and that he always flunk ed half his class on general principles, those so exposed wept copiously for they dared not doubt so authoritative advice. But, fortunately, now, all that is over. True, the first reports circulated on the campus caused despair and hopeless ness. For instance, all but ten of his tory I had flunked, and that Professor Newlin wasn't giving any re-exams; and that the highest grade made in Biology t was 68, and that consequently the passing grade was to be lowered to forty (Continued on page two) GAYLORD YOST, VIOLINIST, OIVES SPLENDID CONCERT CARL BOUTEL OF G. C. W. ACCOM PANIES: MR. YOST IMPRESSES AUDIENCE WITH ART Gaylord Yost, violinist, accompanied by Carl Boutel, of Greensboro College, presented in - Memorial hall, February 4, a program of varied interest and technical difficulty. Beginning his pro gram with Handel's Sonata in E, Mr. Yost quickly established himself as a violinist of unusual technical equipment and interpretative ability. His second number Bruch's "Concerta in G minor," of considerable length was well received by the audience, and his execution of the allegro energicion, completely cap tured the audience. In the adagio movements of his first and second num bers his tones were beautifully true and the shading very effective. His playing of "Turkey in the Straw" as arranged by the Spaniard Juan Manen, and Zim balist's "lmpromtne on a Japenese Tune" were exceptionally good. The program in its entirety was as follows: 1. Sonata in E, Handel; Con certo in G minor, Bruch; Hark, hark, the Lark, Schubert-Spalding; Improvisa tion on a Japanese Tune, Zimbalist; Maiden's Wish, Chopin-Macmillen; Turkey in the straw, Juan Manen; Sla vonic Dance, No. 2, Dvorak-Kreisler; Capriccio, Scarlatti-Prinpipe; LaGitana, Fritz Kreisler; Mazurka, Zarzycki. "PINAFORE" TO RE GIVEN RY CHORUS THIS SPRING "H. M. S. Pinafore," Gilbert and Sullivan's rollicking comic opera of sailor life, will be presented by the Choral society under the direction of James Westley White. The enthusi astice reception of the Chorus' produc tion of "The Mikado" last spring, en couraged Prof. White to attempt an other operetta. Planquette's "Chimes of Normandy" was discarded in favor of "Pinafore." The "Pinafore" liberetto is written in true Gilbertian style with all his wit and humor, sometimes bordering on sat ire, and set to music by Arthur Sulli van. -Many of the melodies have be come standard "tunes." The chorus "We Sail the Ocean Blue" is very Well known, and the many solos, among which "I'm Called Little Buttercup" always "gets" the audience. The story concerns itself with the love of the Cap tian's daughter for an ordinary sailor, and the usual complication brought about by a villain, Dick Deadeye, who not only ofTers the complications but the chief humor of the play. The parts have not been definitely assigned, but it is whispered with good authority, that Louise Frazier will play the leading lady's part, and with her clear soprano voice reduce the hero to deadly devotion. A hero with a tenor voice has not been chosen. Marguerite Stuart, who captured the audience last spring in the "Mikado" with her bril liant mezzo tones, will essay the role of Little Buttercup, while Eva Matthews will play Hebe, Sir Joseph's cousin. Hebe, by the way always leads the famous comic effect ending "and so does his sister, and his cousins, and his aunts." Sam Keen is mentioned as Deadly Dick, the comedian, made fam ous in triumphant season by the still more famous De Wolf Hooper. PROF. AND MRS. HAWORTH RECEIVE INVITATION FROM VISCOUNTESS BRYCE Professor and Mrs. Haworth have just received a belated invitation to a tea at the home of Viscountess Bryce of Char ing Cross, London. The Lady Bryce, especially urged that they be present. However, unfortunately, Professor Ha worth failed to receive the invitation until several weeks after the date of the invitation, and the urgent R.S.V.P. was of necessity unanswered. i CAPT. HENRY F. TEW '27 Henry F. Tew, (Hank), of Goldsboro, who is captain of the Quaker basketball squad for the 1925 season did very creditable playing during the last week's trip. In the N. C. State game Captain Tew caged several goals in the critical moments and guarded so closely that his man scored very few points. ROBERT PRETLOW SPEAKS OF COMMITTEE'S WORK Robert Pretlow, in his chapel talk i on February 2, told of the work of the Friends Service Committee. Mr. Pret- i low said that while we are having prob lems everseas, we are having problems i here that are just as important to be J remedied. We must seek to bring the diverse elements into harmony with each ( other. With this object in view the I Service Committee has organized the home department. This new department offers a fifth year course to college graduates. This I iis a course in Christian service. The j I speaker explained the great Work of | this department in the mountain schools. | He told how one teacher by Christian j influence brought into friendly unison two mountain clans. The home depart- j ment of the service committee offers good positions in reform schools. Mr. I Pretlow stated "This experience will be j one of the largest enlargements of your own life. What we need to do is to eradicate antipathy between races and peoples." DAVIS PHILATHEA CLASS STARTS STUDENT FUND There is scarcely a person who en- ' tered New Garden Boarding school since 1862 or Guilford College since its be ginning in 1888 who did not know Mrs. | Mary E. Mendenhall Davis. She was always interested in every one she knew and took special pleasure in helping young men and women go to college. 1 Many alumni and old students of Guil ford owe their privilege of attending college to her generous spirit. For a number of years prior to her death in December, 1923. she was teach er of a class of young women in the New Garden school. I his class known as the Davis Philathea class is establishing a ; scholarship fund to be used in paying | the tuition at Guilford College of the girl living in this community who | makes the highest average grade of her class during her high school course. It seemed that no more fitting tribute could be payed to her than to carry on in a small way the work in which she | was most interested. The members of the Davis Philathea class feel that former students of Guil ford College wlil be glad to contribute to this fund. Misses Nell Doak, Ida Millis, Mildred Blackburn, and Mrs. Waller S. Nicholson compose the com mittee in charge of the fund. Contri butions may be sent to any member of this committee and will be greatly ap preciated by members of the class. WM. REAGAN OF OAKWOOD SCHOOL CONDUCTS A SERIES OF INSPIRATIONAL MEETINGS TOM SYKES AND HUGH MOORE ALSO AID IN THE PROGRAM A series of meetings, as inspiring to those who were here at the Young Friends Conference, has just ended. William Reagan, principal of Oakwood preparatory school at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., was at the head of the series of of meetings. Mr. Reagan arrived Thursday morn ing at the chapel hour. The subject of his address was: "The Challenge of the Modern World." He discussed the chrislian college and some of its many problems. Me thinks the college ought to be honest with its problems and the answers to the problems. " Never in the history of the world," said Mr. Reagan, "has the Americans needed more to give honest answers to honest problems." In discussing the moving pictures he said that out of a survey of 400 pictures (Continued on poge 2) WAR IS TOPIC OF TALK BY GEORGE L. COLLINS George L. Collins, well known lectur er and member of the Fellowship of Reconciliation, spoke in a most force ful manner for peace and better rela tions between races at chapel Wednes day. Basing his remarks which he made about war upon his own experience in the army in France and elsewhere, he he arrayed a large number of powerful arguments against hostile relations be tween nations. "War is always and for ever wrong," he said. ''We fought the last war to end war. But there are at present two million men under arms in Europe. We fought to avenge the at rocities of the liuns in France and Bel gium, but I know from what I saw while in the army that the atrocities were not confined to the armies of the enemy. Air. Collins challenged the prevailing idea tiiat races other than the Caucasian are inferior to the Caucasian. He men tioned numerous examples of the colored races who have attained fame and suc cess in the world.
