BAPTIST GAME FLOOEY
Quakers Make 11 Hits Against Baptists'
8, But Go to Pieces in the Pinches
and Errors Prove Disastrous
Guilford College baseball team lost
the initial game of the season to Wake
Forest by the score of 7-4.
The Quakers pounded the Deacon
pitchers for a total of twelve hits while
the Deacons could only gather eight
scattered blows off Coltrane. Therein
lies a story. A misjudged fly ball that
fell for three sacks, an error by third
baseman and the costly errors of a
rookie short stop, along with two un
forgivable decisions of the umpire
spelled defeat for the Quakers as well
jas spoiling a beautifully pitched game
by Coltrane.
The Deacons drew first blood by scor
ing one run in the first inning. The
Quakers came back in the second and
tied the score.
In the fifth inning the Deacons scored
two to break the tie but in the seventh
the Quakers again scored, tying the
score. In the last half of the seventh
Wake Forest scored one run forging
ahead. It was in the last half of the
eighth that the Quakers were in the
field with two down, a hit was beat
out to short. Two chances were given
to Quaker fielders to retire the side but
they failed. A long fly then fell for
three sacks but the runner 011 first
failed to touch second base, but the um
pire missed the play. After this two
more runs trickled across the plate due
to an error and a hit.
The Quakers staged a rally in the
ninth but fell short three runs when
Lindley hit a hot one to short forcing

READING NEWSPAPERS
SUBJECT MISS STRONG
Those Who Aspire to Know the Facts
Cannot Judge by Headlines
Says Correspondent
CONSIDER BOTH SIDES QUESTION
"Don't judge by the headlines," was
the advice by the speaker in chapel
Tuesday morning, March 29, to those
students who aspire to keep up with the
events of the world through the column?
of the newspapers. The speaker, Miss
Anna Louise Strong, gave a brief talk
on how to read the newspapers so as to
keep informed on international affairs.
Miss Strong went 011 to say that while
there are many comments about news
papers being unreliable, the Associated
Press dispatches are generally correct
Therefore, a person reading a news item
ought always to observe the date, and
the place from where the dispatch came.
People have a right to be suspicious
about the accounts of affairs of one
country sent out from another country;
different countries represent facts dif
ferently to suit their own cause. "Don't
follow the emotional part of the story,"
continued the speaker. "Get the facts
then try to consider the other side of
the question."
The speaker also pointed out the reas
ons why she thought that during the
next twenty-four years America, Eussia,
and China would become the dominant
nations of the world, and why she
thought it important that we, as wide
awake patriots should keep abreast of
the news of the day.

Night—Many Friends of College Tune in For Music
It was a new venture for the Glee

day night from WNRC, the Chamber of
Commerce Broadcasting Station on the
twelfth floor of the Jefferson Standard
building of Greensboro. Never before
had the fellows in the club had an op
portunity to appear in concert when ab
solutely no response was made. Never
theless the singing, both solo and
chorus, did not lack the enthusiasm of

PRESIDENT BINFORD
MAKES TRIP NORTH
Visited Philadelphia Yearly
Meeting, New York and
Other Places
IN INTEREST OF COLLEGE
President Binford has just returned
from different points in the northern
states where he has been primarily in
the interest of the college. He spent
some time in New York but a greater
part of his time in Philadelphia attend
ing the yearly meeting there.
Dr. Binford spoke once in the young
people's meeting of the yearly meeting,
extending to all young friends there a
warm invitation to come to the All
Eastern Conference to be held here next
August. He also expressed his hope that
the young friends would be able to
give to all a fuller interpretation of
Jesus Christ.
One of President Binford's purposes
in making the trip north was to talk
with authorities on orientation courses
with the hope of introducing such
courses at Guilford. He talked with col
lege presidents and college instructors
on this question and feels that he re
ceived some valuable information there
on. He was also interested in talking
with people concerning Guilford and
arousing interest in the college. One
very notable woman with whom he
talked was Maria Scattergood, who vis
ited Guilford last year. On hearing of
Guilford's entry into the Southern Asso
ciation of Colleges she remarked that it
was certainly fine that some of our col
leges could have such encouraging re
ports. Maria Scattergood is a very good
friend of Guilford and has done quite
a little for the college financially.
QUAKER PROOFS NOW
IN HANDS OF THE STAFF
A portion of the "Quaker" has been
witnessed in actual form. Namely, the
greater part of the engraving proof is
in the hands of the staff. The work
appears very satisfactory and hopes are
still high for the coming of an attrac
tive annual. The printed proof is ex
pected at any date.
The circulation manager is busy mail
ing 250 application cards for annuals to
the alumni, and others who are inter
ested in Guilford. At present there are
only seventy ordered copies left for
sale. It is hoped outsiders will express
their interest in the college by sending
in orders for these few remaining
copies.

evidently as good there as at the first
end. Some received every number
clearly while others received mostly
static except possibly for the solo num
bers.
The club was quite pleased with the
number of calls received after the pro
gram, congratulating it on its good work
and splendid concert. Telegrams were
received from several states favorably
reporting the evening program.
The program consisted of extracts
from the regular spring concert pro
gram. The chorus played the bigger
part although solo and quartette num
bers were given.

HISTORICAL VALUABLES
ARE ADDED TO VAULT
Alec Wray Presents Discipline of
Friends of N. C. Published in
Eleventh Month, 1838
An addition has recently been made
to the valuable collection of historic:
records of the Friends' Meeting in
North Carolina, which is kept in the
vault of Guilford College.
Mr. Alec Wray of Winston-Salem, a
sincere friend and supporter of Guilford
College has presented an historically
valuable Discipline of Friends of North
Carolina which was published by a
"Meeting held at New Garden in Guil
ford County, North Carolina, in the
eleventh month of 1838." In the book
is a slip of paper bearing in faded ink
the name Catherine Ann Haworth and
the date 1845. The discipline is the
oldest one now known in the state,
though there is always the hope that an
earlier one may be brought to light.
The collection at Guilford includes
Disciplines of 1854, 1876, 1893, and the
Uniform Discipline of 1906 as well as
meeting records dating from about 1690.
Mr. Wray's gift was highly appreciated
and forms an important supplement to
the documents already gathered in the
vault.
The collection is under the super
vision of Dr. Hobbs, Miss Era Lasley.
and Miss Laura Worth, serving on a
committee appointed by the Yearly
Meeting. It has been found not only
interesting as an historical record of
Friends meetings in North Carolina, but
very valuable in North Carolina, and
very valuable for geneologieal research.

LIFE OF BEETHOVEN IS
DISCUSSED IN CHAPEL
Mrs. Raymond Binford Gives a Talk
Preparatory to Symphony Pro
gram Saturday Night
100 TH ANNIVERSARY OF PIANIST
llow many of us will be remembered
a hundred years from now? How many
works of art are we producing that will
last? asked Mrs. Binford in chapel Fri
day morning when she gave a sketch of
the life of Beethoven preparatory to
one of his symphonies that was given
Saturday evening. His ambition was
to become a great pianist and began his
work as such but he became deaf and
was not able to judge the loudness and
softness of his music, so he gave up that
part of his work.
Music was 110 pleasant diversion for
Beethoven. It was his life. Often he
became so absorbed in his work that he
forgot to eat. We are told that on one
occasion when having his portrait paint
ed he apparently forgot all about the
presence of the artist and walked over
to the piano and began to improvise a
melody that had been running through
his mind. However, the artist having
been warned before hand moved his
work near the instrument and was able
to work for hours without being dis
turbed, so absorbed was Beethoven in
his music. He was physically awkward
and never could even make the goose
quills with which he wrote, but it has
been said that he gave us the most beau
tiful things with sound.
Beethoven was not snobbish, neither
was his music highbrow nor lowbrow,
but he had reached the perfection of ex
pression and he has given to us sonatas
and symphonies of supreme musical
architecture. His philosophy was that
one should dance and sing when happy
and this idea was woven in his sym-
phonies.
Beethoven was born in 1770 and (lied
in 1827, and now it is with a growing
appreciation that we celebrate the hun
dredth anniversiary of his death with
his own masterpieces and hail him as
king of pianists.
