THE GUILFORDIAI^ VOL. XII. SUMMER SCHOOL TO OPEN JUNE 9 WITH PROF. COLE HEADING STRONG FACULTY Many Extra-Curricula Activities And Entertainments Are Being Planned Professor Cole, who will be the di rector of the summer school here spoke in chapel Thursday morning concern ing summer session that will be held from June 9 to July 21. This is the third session and is ex pected to be better than the two previ ous summer terms. There is no bet ter way to ;dvertise it than for the students to let people know about it during the Easter vacation. The summer school is intended for high school students who desire to make up work and the college students who desire to take work to lighten their program next year. Mr. Cole stated that the summer school in the future should cater to another class, the older who desire to attend for the cultural benefits of it. The curriculum will consist of good study, good pL y, and weekly events on the campus. The summer school is no longer an experiment in our colleges. Educa tional authorities believe in it and a number of American colleges now en roll more students in their summer sessions than in the reguL r college year. The results at Guilford have been so satisfactory that each year there hcs been a demand for a larger exten sion of its work. Last year the en rollment was double that of the prev ious year. With a carefully selected group of teachers and well arranged courses the Administration is attempting to meet the needs of students who attend the summer session. Beginning June the 9th and running throught to July the 31st, there will be forty-six days of class work. When one remembers that hst semester there were just under seventeen weeks, of college, it will be seen that a class meeting an hour a day, six days a week, in the sum mer school will be able to cover prac tically the same amount of work as a class meeting three times a week in the MISS SALLIE DENBOW IN VERY SERIOUS CONDITION Miss Benbow, who has for many years served as matron of Guilford College, was recently brough back from Long's liospit 1 in a very serious condition. A trained nurse has been secured and the best attention is being given her. Several doctors h. ve attended Miss Benbow, but they give no hope of her recovery. PROF. J. FRANKLIN DAVIS DISCUSSES INTERPOLATION Professor Franklin Davis continued his critical talks on certain passages of the Bible in his talk March 26. This time lie illustrated the practice of in terpolation. Some of the old versions of various parts of the Bible do not exactly har monize with those of the new versions. This is due to the fact that often the copyists, and put into these the per sonal comments of the former copyists, and put into the original document. The process of redaction began early. For example, in the Sermon on the Mount the 30 words in Luke expand ed to over 100 words in Matthew. The Beatitudes also differ in Matthew and Luke. Matthew is more free in ex panding the sayings of Jesus. Current traditions also crept into the texts in the same way. "And yet", concluded Professor Davis, "Some good, pious Christians still believe that God breathed every word in the Bible." Glee Club Returns After Making a Long Tour Touching Two Coast Towns and Middle State Schools Chorus Work Is Good If arrick As Comedian Takes W ell- If hole Program is Well Received BY PAUI. REYNOLDS I he Guilford Glee Club returned S;:t urady night, the 27th, from a most successful tour through the eastern part of Carolina. II retained all reputation which it enjoyed in the towns that the club visited before and according to news reports in the new territory in which it played, there will be no difficulty in arranging engagements for another season. The towns which the Quaker Songs ters visited were: Spring Hope, Hert ford, Edenton. Roanoke Rapids, Wood land, and Star. SPRING HOPE On Monday night, the 22nd, the Gleemen opened their week at Spring Hope High School. A large and ap preciative audience witnessed the season production of the club, and with much applause called for several encores in both solo and ensemble work. The outstanding fe. ture of this performance was probably the comic numbers, done by Mr. Warrick. The American Legion Auxilary entertained Ihe men with a dinner in the home economics department of the school. HERTFORD On Tuesday afternoon, after a long drive through partly rainy weather the club found an enthusiastic town, Hertford, ready to greet it. Here the members were entert. ined in private homes, everyone trying his best to show his guests the best time! At eight o'clock in the High School auditorium the concert was given before a second audience that res ponded as if they were hearing some thing worth while. The part that the Hertford folk seemed to like best was the campus life that was so well re presented in the informal section of the program. The members of the (Continued on page 3.) * * Here is one of the press comments about the Glee Club made by the Hertford News in the writeup of the performance there. , * * * * A widely varying program of classi c 1 and jazz music delighted a fairly large house at the Perquimans County High School Tuesday night. * * * # It would be useless to pick the high spots and the low in the Guilford College program of Tuesday night.

THE NEW GRAND PIANO FOR MEM HAS ARRIVED Guilford at last has a good piano for concert use. Last week the Mason and Hamlin grand arrived and was gladly and appreciatively received by all those who had any dealings with its predecessor. We can now feel proud of this instrument as it is one of the best that could be bought in this locality. For a good many years we have got ten along with the smaller grand that is now used as a studio piano for Miss Huth. Accompanists, budding soloists and jazz pounders have struggled with it and it succumbed lo these mcny years ago. Guilford does not buy pianos very often so rather strict care and attention will be given to this new instrument. GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., APRIL 1, 1926. BASEBALL TEAM TO TAKE TRIP IN EASTER VACATION If ill Play A. C. C., ffake forest If inston "Twins" and l.enoir The Quaker Swatsmiths leave Thurs day for a group of intra-stale games. On Thursday they will meet the Atlanlic Christian College at Wilson. Friday the Qu kers will meet Wake Forest at Wake Forest Saturday they will encounber the Winston-Salem "Twins" of the Piedmont League. The prospects are good for a clean sweep of the series, certainly the first two games. The Atlatnic Christians have a fair leam this ye. r, but they will hardly be able to withstand the Quaker onslaught. Guilford's lineup will probably be the same as in the Quantico game except th> t either Rabb or Coltrane will pitch instead of Smith. W> ke Forest has a team not to be sneered at. The Deacons copped the stale title last year without much argu ment in collegiate circles. However, they seem lo have a somewhat weaker team this year, judging from the re sult of their lilt with the Quantico Marines, to whom they lost by a de cisive count. It will be remembered thai the Quaker term defeated Quan tico last Monday week in Greensboro. Thus the odds are that Guilford will rome out with long end of the score Friday. Smith will probably be seen in action again for this game. The game with the Piedmont league in Winston-Salem promises lo be most interesting. The Twin-City team is an unkown quantity so far this sea - n but the "CameLtown" team is generally far above the average. Last vear Ihe Twins were runnersup in the Vague race, losing out in the post sea son series to Durhrm. Either Rabb or Coltrane will pitch the game. Easter Monday the Guilfordians will •day Lenoir-Rhyne at Hickory. This ■ame will be as hard as any the Quak nrs will play ibis se son. The Luther ins have a strong term this year. Smith will probably pitch the game 'or Guilford with Moose hurling for l.enoir. Wednesday, April 7, Wake Forest will play a return game with the Quakers at Guilford on Hobbs Field. Smith will probably pitch. APPRECIATION OF SYKES CONFERENCE IS Y TOPIC Under the leadership of President Reed Barbee. Thursday nifiht the mem bers of the Y. M. C. A. discussed the good effects of the talks and discus sion which Tom Svkes held. There were two dominant aids that came from our contact with Mr. Sykes. He brought about a closer relationship be tween students and faculty and he bound the ties of fellowship among the men, "The hardest thing in life is to get on with other people," said Presi dent Binford. "In the discussion groups, Tom Sykes showed how by a practi cal application of the Christian prin ciples we can live harmoniously with others." Several of the men made a ulea for a continuation of the spirit of fellowship Mr. Sykes brought to the students. There was a strong sentiment mani fested for the continuation of the nightly prayer meetings and the ar rangement of this was left in the hands of Nereus English. The rttendance was the best of the year, there being about 65 men pres ent. True wit must rest on a solid founda tion of intelligence. PRESIDENT BINFORD GOES TO CUBA TO INVESTIGATE FRIENDS MISSION THERE Will Also Visit Alummni In Florida Dr. Binford starts on his trip to Cuba Saturday, March 27. He plans lo stop two days on the east coast of Florida, ;nd reach Havana, Cuba, April 1. He will be met there by Sylvester Jones, a former missionary lo Cuba in Friends' work, but now in the interdenominational work. Presi dent Binford will visit the Friends mis sion at Jcruco where Arthur Payne and his wife are located; then he will go to eastern Cuba at Hoquin. There is a Friends school at this place and a number of mission stations located in the region round about. In the school at Hoquin Friends have . bout SBO,OOO worth of property. The propostion has been made to give this lo some other church, or to withdraw and leave ti to the Cuban to take care of. It is to investigate the situation and see what ought lo be done with the property there that Doctor Binford and B. Willis Beedes are making this trip. On his return. Dr. Binford will stop on the west co;st of Florida and visit some old Guilfordians in that part of i lie country, returning to Guilford Col lege the middle part of April. GUILFORD TENNIS MEN HAVE HARD SCHEDULE Captain Burkes' Tennis men are daily going through strenuous prac tice in preparation for the hard season which confronts the Guilford racquet men. The courts are in good shape and the past week of warm weather has brought the squad nearly lo midseason form. The lineup will be practically the saine as the one used last f 11 with the exceptoin of Bob Griffin who is holding down a berth on the varsity nine. Morris Trotter who is the possessor of a blithe stroke and a quick eye will again head the list in the singles. Trotter was only defeated a few times last fall and with spring training should battle any opponent whom he meets this season. Captain Burke, the wicked left hander, towers up above his team-mates in height and will be able to smash the apple from almost any position. Mis backhand lawford strokes are be coming so effective tint even Trotter finds it difficult to handle them. Ed Brown who for four years hrs played on the crimson and Gray team will still occupy his positions. Brown is steady in all phases of the game and always shows up in the double matches. The other two men who will probably go with the net men are Elwood Park er known on the court . s the "steady old horse" and Stanley Moore. These two men are hard fighters and show excellent training. The Quaker team will meet nearly all of the North Carolina teams and several out of state seekers including Mercer University and others. ANNOUNGEMFNT Due to the Spring Vacation which begins April 1 and ends April 7, the next issue of the Guilfordian will not appear until April 15. 4!5% of the Honor Students graduat ing from the under-graduate schools of Yale University last June were stu dent who worked their way through college. There are 174,347 one-teacher schools in the United States. Hail storms in India frequently are so severe as to kill people. JEREMIAH COX A STAUNCH GUILFORD SUPPORTER DIES AT HIS GREENSRORO HOME Had Been a Trustee of Guilford For Almost Fifty Years ' BUILT COX MALL ff is Active In Work Of The North Carolina Yearly Meeting Jeremiah S. Cox, a devoted friend of Guilford College, died at his home oil West Lee Street, Greensboro, N. C. Monday morning March 22. The funeral service held in New Garden Friends Church, was attended by a large number of relatives and friends, including the Guilford student body, who went in a group. The burial took place in the New Garden Ceinetary. The following is a tribute of Dr. Lyndon Hobbs: On account of his long life, con stantly devoted to what he conceived to be right, and because of his singular adherence to the path of duty in the affairs of the church to which he be longed, Jeremiah S. Cox occupied a place of very high esteem in the hearts of all who intimately knew him. His unwavering interest in Guilford College and the school out of which it grew was a source of strength and en couragement for nearly fifty years to to those who wrought by his side. He was chosen one of the Trustees of New Garden Boarding school in 1877, and continued through the re maining years of the school, that is, till the end of the school year 1887; and continued as a Trustee of the College until his death, an unbroken period of service of forty-nine years. Tn all these years no event that mark ed a forward step in education in North C; rolina Yearly Meeting, ever failed to bring him a sense of grati tude . nd deep satisfaction. He believed .wtih all his mind and heart in the high aim of Guilford Col lege and in the paramount importance of education in general as the only means of preventing deterioration of civilization and the loss thereby of power in the church and the state. So keenly did he feel an abiding religi ous interest in Guilford College that in the lime of sore need—times of crises which brought to the surface hi 3 GULFORD'S STAR RATTERY RECOMMENDED TO ROSTON RED SOX RY SCOUT KEADY Smith And Ferrell Are Spotted By Rig ILeague Team Afler the Quantico baseball game last Monday one of the Boston Red Sox scouts wired his manager about "Shirt" Smith. The f ''owing is a clipping from the Greeisboro Daily News showing that Guilford i- about lo produce some more big leaguers in the near future that can carry on the work of Tom Zachary, Earnest Shore and the rest. Pom Keady. coach of the Quantico Marines team and scout for the Boston Red Sox. told a Daily News reporter last evening that he had wired the major league club in regard to "Shirt" Smith and his battery mate. "Ric" Ferrell. Mr. Keady. who eight years played with the Worchester team in the east ern league, w; s impressed very favor ably with the work of the two Guilford college boys and lost little time in in forming the Red Sox of their ability. The Boston club is now undergoing a general reorganization and is being rebuilt with youngesters. Every new man will be given a thorough trail. Smith and Ferrell still have a couple of years of college baseball coming to them and it is not known how they would entertain a proposal to try for major league berths. No. 23.
