Some Individual Pictures Were Taken
Monday Morning—All Pictures
Before December 15
The Quaker staff feels encouraged
over the rapidly developing prospect"
of an annual. The publishing of an an
nual this year has created much inter
est among the alumni. Students are re
ceiving cards and letters from brothers
and sisters, former students, saying to
order extra annuals. This should be
further incentive to the staff and stu
dents to do more than ever toward mak
ing the publication a success.
Photographic work begins this week.
This work will be completed before the
latter part of the week, and the first
section of the annual will soon go to
the engravers and printers.
The section showing most rapid de
velopment is that of the seniors. They
have faithfully scanned their minds for
the honors they have won during the
four years of college life. And too,
their characteristics have been expound
ed on paper. Theodore Doub, the senior
historian, has waded through various
annals of past history, thus bringing
forth a finished document.
The other three class sections will be
complete by the time the photos are
taken, thus completing a full section of
the annual.
A dummy is being made and it is to
be filled as quickly as possible.
The student body is to be congratu
lated on the good support they are giv
ing the staff.
ELBERT RUSSELL IS
VISITOR ON CAMPUS
Eminent Quaker of Duke University
Faculty Delivers Talk to
the Gospel Team
IS VISITING WITH THE HAWORTHS
Dr. Elbert Russell, of the Religious
Education Department at Duke Uni
versity, who was the guest of Mr. and
Mrs. Samuel Haworth Sunday, spoke
to the Guilford College Gospel Team
for a little while Sunday afternoon.
Dr. Russell began by saying that the
willingness to do the will of God does
not necessarily make a man a Chris
tian, because this will apply to the
Buddhist and Mohammedan as well. A
Christian must worship the Father of
the Lord Jesus Christ with all his
might and strength. Dr. Russell be
lieves that the method of Christian
evangelism should be one of convince
ment and persuasion rather than one of
force. It is legitimate to use emotion
to influence an individual to profess
what he actually believes, "but emotion
should not be used to persuade a per
son to do something that he is not
ready to do."
"A man never becomes a Christian by
not doing things," said Dr. Russell. "He
must lead a life of active service to
his fellowman."
The speaker also pointed out that
where there is a long, slow process of
education behind an action it will al
ways stick. Spasmodic decisions and
action seldom have lasting effects.
In closing Dr. Russell emphasized the
need of living the Golden Rule, saying
that "love alone will save the world."
Qy THE
GUILFORDIAN
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., DECEMBER 1, 1926
SOUTHERN ASS
CONSIDERING
Dean Wannamaker, of Duke Uni
versity spent the day on the campus
Wednesday in the interest of the
Southern Association of Colleges.
He will make his report to the Asso
ciation this spring as to the existing
conditions at Guilford College, and
his recommendations will probably
determine whether or not Guilford
shall be a member next year.
For several years Dr. Binford has
been raising the standards of the
faculty and has steadily been in'
creasing the endowment and in
many other ways raising the stand
ards of Guilford College, with the
view of some time being able to
enter this Association.
Most of the requirements have
been reached and it is hoped that
the Southern Association of Col
leges will take favorable action
when Guilford's application is
brought before them.
MRS. LUCIA MEADE
PLEADS FOR PEACE
Gives Striking Examples of
Folly of War and Recom
mends Christianity
IS FORCEFUL SPEAKER
"It behooves all those who want to do
anything to help the cause of prevent
ing war to know something about how
to do it," said Mrs. Lucia Ames Meade,
an ardent peace advocate, who visited
Guilford Friday, Saturday and Sunday,
and who spoke in chapel Friday morn
ing.
Mrs. Meade began her talk by de
fining the words "militarist" and "paci
fist," a militarist being one who holds
a certain philosophy about war and
a pacifist being a peacemaker. There
are many kinds of pacifists just as there
are different denominations of Chris
tians, but all of them believe in work
ing logically. "In the War of 1821, the
Mexican war, the Revolution, Spanish
War and World War there were less
than 100,000 soldiers killed in battle,
while in one year in this civilized coun
try millions are murdered, or killed by
carelessness," said the speaker.
"Secretary Hughes said: 'So far as we
can see into the future, the United
States is not in the slightest danger of
aggression in no single or combination
of powers,'" continued Mrs. Meade. "We
are independent, can feed ourselves, and
need no protection. In 1817 a Philadel
phia Quaker proposed that the battle

OLD NEW GARDEN IS
INTERESTING THEME

Carolina and Founding of New Garden Boarding School,
the Predecessor of Guilford
(Continued from Last Issue)
A tract of land was purchased, and
in 1834 seventy acres adjoining were
given to the school by Eliliu Coffin, one
of the trustees. The English Friends
up to this time had contributed $2,000
to be applied in the erection of build
ings. In 1837 J. J. Guerney gave $4,888,
half of which was to aid such Friends
as were unable to meet the expense of
schooling. If it had not been for the
help of these English Friends, doubt
less it would have been necessary to
close the school.

Fighting Quakers
In Vindicating
Students of Guilford Celebrate Thanksgiving
Victory by a Huge Bonfire on Hobb's Field
The students at Guilford College
showed their sincere appreciation of
Thanksgiving Day. This apprecia
tion, along with their loyalty to the
college and the football team, was
greatly manifested when approxi
mately one-half of the entire stu
dent body went to the Elon-Guil
ford game.
The spirit in which the team
played was re-echoed on the side
lines through the constant cheers
from the students. Although the
winning games in football have
been scarce this season there has
not been a time when co-operation
between the team and students has
not been keenly felt. The losing
games only put more vigor and de
termination into both factions,
which developed into a final burst
of enthusiasm in the last game.
Much credit for this continuous
pep during the entire season is due
to the cheer leaders. They have
labored hard to keep spirits at a

HAWORTH TOASTMASTER
The Guilfordian Board enjoyed a de

Monday, November 22. Besides student
members of the acting board, Mr. and
Mrs. George P. Wilson, Miss Gilbert,
faculty advisors, Miss Lasley, Alumnae
Reporter, and John Webb Cannon and
Harvey O'Connor Dinkins, former Guil

honorary guests.
Dinner was served to the party at one
long table with decorations apropos of
Thanksgiving. During the banquet
Byron liaworth was extremely active
as toastmaster. Almost everyone at the
table felt apprehensive sometime dur
ing the evening as toastmaster liaworth
introduced their impromptu speech by
personal anecdotes of doubtful authen

An interesting experience of Nathan
Hunt is recorded during his campaign
at home and abroad for the establish
ment of the new school. George How
land had promised a large sum to the
school 011 the condition that his whal
ing ships, which were out beyond the
expected time, should return with a
good supply of oil. Nathan Hunt,
whose mind no doubt was often turned
toward this promise and its conditions,
one morning stepped into his house at
Springfield, his countenance beaming
with joy, and told his family that
the school would certainly now get its

high pitch. It was under their
leadership that the student body has
not divided into factions, but has
remained as one loyal whole.
Following the victorious game
Thanksgiving, the freshmen boys
were seen about dusk of the eve
ning getting boards, broken doors,
heavy logs, kerosene, and every
thing that goes to make a real fire.
At 10 o'clock when bells, tin pans,
bones, whistles, and cans were send
ing forth conglamerous tunes, a
great flame going up from the ath
letic field called the students once
more in assembly. Ira Newlin,
alias the parson, with helpmates
performed the last rites of cere
mony over the deceased brother,
Elon.
As the blazes lowered members
of the team and faculty gave talks
relating to past incidents, in the
football world, and gave wide en
couragement for a successful season
next year.

DATE IS DECEMBER 11
"Seven Keys to Baldpate" will be giv
en in Memorial Hall Saturday evening,
December 11, at 8 p.m. The cast and
managers are hard at work at their
various tasks rounding the play into
shape. Mrs. Binford is working out the
rough spots in the script. Miss Kopf
has started her work on the costuming.
Mr. Turner is in charge of the business
connected with production. Miss Os
borne and Mr. Moon are working on
some attractive posters to advertise the
play. Mr. Moon is also working on the
staging of the play.
The cast is spending hours in practice
now. They feel sure that this play
will prove the most interesting one pro
duced at Guilford in years.
Baldpate Inn is a summer resort hotel
at the top of Baldpate Mountain in
the Adirondacks of upstate New York.
The owner has inherited it from his
father and Mr. Bentley runs it as a
hobby for vacation, thus securing trade
from those who are seeking a quiet
restful spot away from dirt and noise.
Mr. Magee, Stanley Moore, is a writer
of sensational melodramatic novels. He
and Mr. Bentley are very good friends,
members of the same club and congenial
gentlemen. They have made a friendly
bet that Mr. Magee cannot write a
complete novel in 24 hours. The play
is full of thrills. Magee settles down
to his task of writing his book; as he
does so a man unlocks the front door
with a key. Mr. Magee understands
that he has the only key to the door,
so where did the second key come from?

ANCIENT RIVAL OF
GUILFORD DOWNED
IN ANNUAL MELEE
Captain White Is Injured Early
in Game But Team Scores
Two Touchdowns
ROBERTSON-REATTY STAR
Robertson Scores on a 35-Yard Ran
With Baatty Famishing Interfer
ence—Kimrey Scores Extra Points
The Quakers beat their old-time
rivals, Elon, Thanksgiving 14-0. It was
a hard fought game. Guilford's team
was in fine spirit and played for the
glory of the Crimson and Gray. Their
only thought seemed to be to bring
home another victory, and that victory
to be over their time-honored opponents,
Elon College.
The first quarter opened with Guil
ford kicking to Elon. The Elon team
tried out their line plays to no avail.
It was a quarter full of interest to the
spectators. See-sawing back and forth
in Elon's territory, the Quakers shortly
before the end of the period made a
touchdown. Robertson carred the ball
for about 35 yards with Beatty and
Kimrey cutting down would-be tacklers.
Kimrey made the extra point by the
drop-kick route.
The second quarter was a scoreless
one, though the ball was in Elon's ter
ritory as before. The Christians fought
hard to score in this period. The
Quakers fought harder and exhibited
superior team work. They used forward
passes and end run plays almost entire
ly. First around one end, then around
the other flew the fleet-footed Quaker
backs. It was on one of these runs that
Captain White was injured. He had
made a nice run around right end when
he turned his ankle. Neece was put
in his place. The rest of the half was
a battle in the 40-yard zone.
The second half opened with Guil
ford again kicking to Elon. Elon began
a desperate attempt to play the Quakers

DR. BINFORD ATTENDS
COLLEGE CONFERENCE
Organization Was Started by Dr. Bin
ford in 1920—Working for Better
High School Requirements
ACCOMPANIED BY PROF. TURNER
President Raymond Binford and Prof.
Hill Turner attended the North Caro
lina College Conference held at Dur
ham November 23. This conference,
which is composed of all the college
president of the state and one other
representative from each college was
started by President Binford in 1920.
Since its organization the colleges have
been able to co-operate in making uni
form college entrance blanks and uni
form requirements for scholarship.
Featuring the meeting at Durham was
a discussion concerning the manner of
conducting intelligence tests for high
school seniors in order that the colleges
might have a preliminary estimate of
all its freshmen, thus enabling a more,
efficient classification.
The possibility of reorganizing the
high schools of the state, in order that
no teacher might have more than two
fields was also considered.
