EDITORIAL A FRIEND IS GONE A friend is gone. One who was loved by everyone on the campus; a cham pion of every good cause; a christian; a lover of Guilford; one who was a standard-bearer for the cause of truth and justice. We will miss him. Kings and princes may have shafts of marble and stone erected to their memory but these soon crumble and decay into dust. Our friend has more than a lifeless shaft erected to his memory for he has implanted in every student here a part of his human greatness which will go on and on as ail unshattered monu ment of his own building. It is to us that he gave his all. His spirit shall dwell in our temples and may we, each one take up the mantle which has fallen from his shoulder and bear it forth. His great spirit and his great soul were too great for the earthly vessel in which they were borne. The frail vessel is shattered but the great soul and spirit will be with us. always challenging the best that is within us and leading us forward in christian unity. * * * A PLEA TO ALUMNI There being only one publication on the campus the Guilfordian must serve the purpose of several. First of all, it must serve the purpose of the maga zine; that is, it must contain stories, poetry and other things of particular literary merit. Then, it must serve the purpose of a newspaper which must give forth news that is interesting to the students on the campus also to the alumni. Thirdly, the Guilfordian must serve the purpose of the alumni bulletin, informing the alumni of the doings of all the other alumni. Through the edi torial column the board attempts to express ideas which are for the inter est (in the eyes of the editors) of the college. Vfe want the Guilfordian to be made the best paper possible to serve its var ied interests and to have in it the things which v.lll be of interest to its readers. This editorial is a plea to you, old students and alumni of the college, to te'l us what you like to see in the pa per -what you want and what you do not want —. The Guilfordian welcomes suggestions which will help guide the selection of the articles going into the paper and ask you to help us make the Guilfordian serve better the best inter ests of Guilford College. * * GET HOT. AND YELL!! And they said the gallery lost the Wil liam and Mary game—-And what "they said" was about right. Of all the disin terested gallery attendance—nothing ex cited them except when Guilford was in the lead. Any idiot can praise a winner, but it takes a sport to yell for the loser, and there was no appreciable amount of yelling Saturday night. Dumbells, literally—Why don't the Guilford students yell? They have cheer leaders. Don't they follow the leader, or does the leader forget that for one hour he is to captain the backers of the team? The team played a fine game Saturday night, smooth, with ex cellent team work—and the galleries lost the game. Dumbells, the whole season. When will we wake up? * * Two novels have been placed on the shelf in the library. One of them is Galsworth's much talked of '"White Monkey'" and the other is Cecil Rob erts' "Scizzors." Having bad Mr. Rob erts here at Guilford recently, his book should prove doubly interesting. "The White Monkey" is Mr. Galsworth's latest book and is a continuation of Forsythe Saga. All the book reviews are piai-ing this book and everybody is talking about it (or so the blurb writ ers say) so we'd advise looking it over at least. Its title is taken from the Chinese symbol of the White Monkey, who "ate life and threw away the rinds." FESTIVE EVENT BRINGS STARS (Continued from page one) Guilford. Lov Morris used an old Kel log gammar for a glove, according to Perisho. He wished he could raise the curtain and let the people see those "Grand Old Days." He closed by say ing "Guilford College makes men. The institution does not exist for the pur pose of making baseball players. Make the men and they will succeed whether it be playing ball or any other profes sion. Robert M. Wilson, coach at Duke University, and a former Guilfordian, spoke upon "Winning and losing." He told of the old times with ''Chick" Doak and a number of others. Think, work, and fight are the three essentials for winning in athletics according to Mr. Wilson. You got to think to win, you must work to keep in condition and sometimes working and thinking won't win, you must fight, said the speaker. Professor Wilson Hobbs of the Math ematics department of U. N. C., spoke on faculty management of athletics. "The necessity," he said, "of faculty control of athletics is because there must be some one in control who stays at the College. Guilford College has done more for athletics in North Caro lina than she has ever been given credit for." Charles "Chick Doak, coach at State college spoke on the duties of the Alum ni to athletics. "The first baseball game ever played south of the Mason- Dixon line was played at Guilford." said Mr. Doak. Dr. Raymond Binford spoke on "Ath letics and Education." He said he coached the first team at Guilford that played the first intercollegiate game of basketball. "Play is educational, na tural and fundamental in every strong man s life. Baseball, basketball, and football can teach something that can not be taught in the classroom. That is the reason I say it is educational. We do not buy athletes at Guilford—we make them. We make them, but we do not have them for sale." said Dr. Binford. He said he was standing for this one tiling in athletics in North Carolina. That is, athletics must be honest. He said it made him sick for Guilford to lose but it made him happy to see the team play a fine honest game and not pinch the rules. The meeting was then honored by two very beautiful songs by Miss Campbell. Miss Laura Worth spoke on the bo ginning of Girls' athletics at Guilford College. This was one of the most in teresting speeches of the evening. She old of the great difficulties she had in getting things started. The girls' first basketball court was back of Founders. It was very interesting to hear her tell of the objections in that time to the girls wearing bloomers. Robert S. (Coach) Doak read the names of many noted athletes who made this splendid record for Guilford. Ernest Shore gave a very interesting narration of his greatest thrill and his greatest disappointment in baseball. The greatest thrill came while pitching a game for Boston against Detroit be fore a crowd of 38,500 spectators when he prevented a score after the bases were filled and no' "outs." and won a 13 inning game 1 to 0. His greatest dis appointment was caused by losing a hard-fought game for Guilford College to A. and T. College. Ed Mcßane, of Greensboro, chairman THE GUILFORDIAN ALUMNI NOTES 1898 Miss Ada M.

He also said, he, too, had had lots of thrills. Any team which goes through the World Series and wins the pennant gets thrills, especially when the race is a close one, there are thrills and a plenty of them. Bill Lindsey told of his experience while at Guilford and since he left and Lucian Smith gave a few remarks of a reminiscent nature.
