The Websterian Literary Society was
entertained Friday evening, November
19, by a debate: "Resolved, That the
President of the United States should
be elected for a term of six years and
not be eligible for re-election." The
affirmative was upheld by Collins and
Heffner, who argued that the present
system has weathered the cause of
time successfully and must be proven
unsatisfactory before we can install
a different plan. The negative, upheld
by Ward and Westmoreland, won the
decision of the judges by proving that
the regular four-year term is too short,
and an eight-year term would be too
long.
The second number was a selection
■of jokes by Thomas Hadley.
The third and last number was an
interesting talk 011 the life of Daniel
Webster by Gurney Collins.

The announcement of an impromptu
program in the Zatasian Literary So
ciety Friday night caused many of the
members to quake in fear lest they
should be numbered among the unlucky
ones who were on the program.
The first number was a debate: "Re
solved, That the old boys of Guilford

are more intelligent and more hand
some than the new boys." The affirma
tive side, which was upheld by Mildred
Kimrey and Sudie Cox, propounded
good argument, but the decision of
the judges was in favor of the nega
tive speakers, Mary Ellen Lassiter and
Annie Ray.
The next number' wts a talk on "The
Progress of Campus Courses," by Eve
lyn Braxton, in which the speaker said
she had not as yet observed any flunks.
The simultaneous songs, "Always" and
"Old Black Joe" sung by Kathryn Owen
and Myra Gamble, respectively, pro
voked much laughter on the part of all
concerned.
The stunt, "When Sister's Beau
Comes Calling," by Frances Osborne,
Aileen Beason, Eunice Lindley and Lois
Dawson, was well received.

Humor is the word that best describes
the program of the Ilenry Clay Lit
erary Society of last Friday night. The
first number was two readings by Lu
ther Francis. These were well received.
Charles White gave two readings that
kept the society members laughing con
tinuously. Two extemporaneous de
bates were next in order: "Resolved,
That all Guilford faculty members
should be married," and second, "Re
solved, That there should be 110 lights
on the campus except in buildings."
Both of these were hotly contested by
speakers selected by President Thomas.
The final number was a harmonical
selection by Waldo Williams.

stitution, which was framed and adopt
ed by the representatives present.

J. ELWOOD COX GIVEN IMPORTANT
OFFICE BY DUKE FOUNDATION
(Continued from Page One)
"Throughout his life J. Elwood Cox
has been identified with Guilford Col
lege. As a small child he came with
his parents, Jonathan E. and Elizabeth
Cox, to New Garden Boarding School,
in which institution they served for
many years as superintendent and ma
tron. It is not possible to estimate the
influence for good exerted by the two
noble persons upon the young men and
women who came under their adminis
tration.
"The entire family, parents and four
children, two sons and two daughters,
has been one of the most remarkable
in the history of North Carolina Yearly
Meeting of Friends. Dr. J. J. Cox, the
elder of the two sons, was held in the
highest esteem not only as a physician
but as a Christian gentleman of the
best type. He served for many years
with rare ability as chairman of the
Board of Trustees of Guilford College;
and at his death was succeeded by J.
Elwood Cox, who at this time is jiresi
dent of the Board. The daughters,
Margaret and Mary ft. Cox, were alike
well educated with their brothers, and
possessed the same intelligence and de
votion to all matters of religious and
educational interest. Both were teach
ers in the New Garden School and
greatly beloved.
"Mr. J. Elwood Cox was always vig
orous in body and in mind. He was
interested in every phase or school
life. Ilis education was obtained in
New Garden School, and later in Earl
ham College, a Friends' college in
Richmond, Indiana. He was fond of
mathematics. Bookkeeping he seemed
to know by intuition before he studied
the subject. He joined in athletic
sports wholeheartedly as anyone in this
day; and played baseball with absorb
ing interest. He always played expect
ing to win the game. There was no
other one whom you so much wished to
have on your side.
"With him for you, you also expected
to win, and with him against, you
feared defeat.
"He was a student in the New Garden
School when Benjamin N. and James B.
Duke and their sister, Mary Elizabeth
Duke, were there. The Duke brothers
and he formed a warm friendship in
school, and his esteem for them and
their esteem for him never grew less
as the years passed by, but grew in
strength and intimacy, and became a
bond of affection which nothing but
death could sever.
"They all three were alike in capac
ity to manage big business, and in
their energy and integrity of charac
ter. They were all alike also in their
devotion to the development of every
enterprise that makes for the material,
educational and philanthropic interests
of their native state."

many times have I told you not to
point?— London Humorist.
OLD NEW GARDEN IS
INTERESTING THEME
(Continued from Page One)
Meeting as early as 1704. However, in
1831 the subordinate meetings reported
that there was not a single school un
der the care of Friends in North Caro
lina at that time.
There was just cause for alarm, and
Jeremiah Hubbard, a minister from
Deep River, together with a small com
mittee, prepared an address advocating
schools. In this address they spoke
of the "Christian and literary educa
tion of our children in a manner con
sistent with the simplicity of our pro
fession." As a result, subscriptions
were made to raise a fund for the
establishment of a boarding School.
Three hundred and seventy dollars and
fifty-five cents were subscribed, and
there was appointed a committee of
45 persons to digest a plan to purchase
a suitable farm, and to put the school
in operation.
In 1832 such a plan was brought for
ward and about $1,200 was subscribed
for carrying it out. George C. Men
denhall was instrumental in locating
the school in 1833, by an act of incor
poration obtained from the legislature.
There is a reminiscence connected with
the obtaining of this charter that will
