VOLUME XIV
Pat Crawford Begins
His Duties as Coach
GOOD PROSPECTS
Is Rapidly Whipping Team Into
Shape for First Game With
Roanoke on Saturday
TWO WORKOUTS EACH DAY
Many New Men Ready to Fill Vacated
Positions —Circumstances Indicate
Training Rules Will Be Kept
Coach "Pat" Crawford arrived on the
Guilford campus on September 7 and
immediately went to work with the
material present.
Among those on hand were Captain
Robertson, Hoyle, Moon Marshall, Par
rish and Trivette, last year letter men.
Coach Crawford began the preliminary
season with two practices a day, con
sisting of calisthenics, blocking, charg
ing and tackling, along with two black
board drills each day. Daily workouts
have gone 011 with a great deal of pep
and enthusiasm.
The fundamentals were stressed the
first week, but during the last week
signal drills and scrimmages have taken
place of fundamentals. A great deal of
place kicking and drop-kicking has been
practiced. This part of the game has
been stressed more than heretofore.
Punting and passing have been in order
also for the past few days.
Coach Crawford will have the task
of replacing three letter men in the
backfield and four letter men in the
line. Lindley, left tackle, did not re
turn to school, as did not Turner,
White and Reatty, center, fullback and
halfback, respectively. Tew, Ebert and
Kimrey were lost through graduation.
To fill in these positions Coach Craw
ford has Stanley Moore, halfback of
last year's team, although not a regu
lar, who is very fast; Wooten, fresh
man with four years' high school ex
perience at half; Parrisli, who lias been
shifted from end to fullback. Ragan
and Francis look good at tackle and
guard. Trivette has been shifted to

MRS. EDITH WARRICK
GETS B. A. DEGREE
Completed the Requirements for the
Degree of Bachelor of Arts in
the Summer Session
A college commencement in Septem
ber is a rare thing, but Friday morn
ing's chapel exercises was the scene of
such an occasion. The degree of bache
lor of arts was conferred upon Edith
Iledgecock Warrick, who completed her
work for a degree by doing summer
school work. Students finishing their
required work for a degree in summer
school are usually awarded diplomas at
the educational session of the Yearly
Meeting. Since the summer school was
not completed by Yearly Meeting time,
it was necessary to devote a chapel
period to the conferring of this degree.
The commencement address for the
occasion was delivered by Elton True
blood, professor of philosophy and psy
chology, and dean of men. To disprove
the idea that a person could not be a
specialist in more than one field, Pro
fessor Trueblood told the story of the
life of Albert Schweitzer, • who first
became noted as a musician. Later he
became a philosopher and famous
writer and thinker. After he reached
middle age he was called to the mission
field and began the study of medicine
in order that he might go to Africa as
a medical missionary.

INNOCENT EMBEZZLEMENT
INJURES GUILFORDIAN
Two Literary Societies Fail to Pay Up
Subscription Amount Collected and
Paper Can't Finance Last Edition
S JUST A MATTER OF LAX BUSINESS
Some of our readers 110 doubt no
ticed that there was 110 thirtieth num
ber of the Guilfordian last Spring.
This edition usually carries the news of
commencement and is probably the
most important one of the year. We
see no reason for not stating why we
did not publish the final paper since
the circumstances were beyond our
control.
The treasurer of each literary society
collects with the annual dues of the
organization the sum of SI.OO per year
per member for subscription to the
Guilfordian. Each member on the so
ciety roll then receives the Guilfordian
for the year. All that sounds soft and
easy but here comes the rub. Two out
of the four societies paid only part,
and a small part at that, during the
past year of the total amount due the
college paper. Something is wrong
somewhere. Without this money which
had been counted 011 in the makeup of
the annual budget, those in charge
deemed it unwise to do something which
could not be paid for. Tll fact, the 29
published editions are not entirely paid
for.
We publish this as an explanation
rather than a criticism, with the hope
that the money collected for the Guil
fordian will lie paid* to The Business
Manager of this paper as soon as it is
collected from the members. We are
starting off in debt and need all we
can get.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., SEPTEMBER 28, 1927
NEW POWER HOUSE,
RENOVATED HALLS,
IMPROVES COLLEGE
Old and Unsightly Structure to
Be Torn Down—Archdale Is
Completely Remodelled
BUILDING A CLUB ROOM
Third Floor of Founders iB Refloored
and Painted and Memorial Hall is
Improved Guilfordian Moved
Students enrolled at Guilford for the
summer session were witnesses of the
progress of A'arious drastic changes and
improvements which were made on the
campus and in the college buildings
during the summer; but to other re
turning students the completed renova
tion and innovations were a most pleas
ant surprise.
The improvements made in the dor
mitories are particularly welcome. In
Founders Hall complete new hard-wood
flooring was put in for the third floor,
two new modern white tile showers
were installed on each floor, and new
paintings and varnishing has renewed
the freshness of wall and woodwork.
The Guilfordian office has been moved
to Memorial Hall, and the old office,
refinished and furnished with a new
glass door, is to serve as the private
office for the dean of women.
Arclidale Ilall has been entirely re
conditioned, and the first floor is to lie
used as a general club room for the
men of the college.
Students and faculty members unani
mously welcome the changes in the
dining room arrangements. Tiie room
itself has been refinished and the old
awkward tables for twelve have given
place to small tables for six, which are
proving far more efficient and attrac
tive. Whether it is the new system,
ov whether the weather lias been con
ducive to irresistible appetites, certain
ly more students have been coming to
breakfasts than ever before.
The kitchen has kept in stride with
the dining room in improvements. It
has been entirely refinished and re
equipped, and rearranged for greater
efficiency. A frigidaire lias been in
stalled. Besides furnishing an excel
lent refrigeration system, the ice water
with which it provides us is not only
a luxury, but a comfort.
Perhaps the largest improvement in
point of size and value is the new
power plant which is being erected
directly back of Founders. It will un
doubtedly replace the old one with an
immense increase of satisfaction and
efficiency.
The first floor of Memorial Hall has
been refloored. Students need never
refrain from attending classes these
days out of consideration for the wear

MRS. ANDREWS HEAD
OF GIRLS' ATHLETICS
Girls' athletics here this year will be
more strongly emphasized than in pre
vious years, under the capable direc
torship of Mrs. Andrews, the new head
of the Department of Physical Educa
tion for Girls. A successful season
throughout the range of local sports is
anticipated and, if interest continues to
grow, there will be much inter-class
competition in evidence.
Mrs. Andrews expects to follow the
seasonal schedule for sports, beginning
with hockey this fall, continuing with

NOAH NEW HEAD OF
MUSIC DEPARTMENT
Comes With High Recommenda
tions in Piano, Voice, and
Glee Club Work
GIRLS' CLUB ORGANIZED
Among the changes and improvements
in the college this year, the music de
partment realizes one of the greatest.
There will lie no more lack or interest
and enthusiasm in music lines as here
tofore. Every organization connected
with the department is starting out
with a pep that has not characterized
shiy such organizations in the past.
Mr. Max Noah, f Waterloo, 10w.'.,
comes to Guilford h high recommen
dations in piano, ce, a I in Glee
Club work. He has already proved his
efficiency in all these lines. His direct
ing of group singing in chapel, his en
thusiasm in getting the men's glee club
under way and the organization of a
girls' glee club is beginning to have
great weight in making music even
more popular than ever before.
Before the first week of school had
passed the men's glee club was selected
and the second week saw the fellows
beginning the regular weekly rehears
als. The management hopes to arrange
for some concerts in December and to
make preparations for a good trip in
the spring.

basketball during the winter and end
ing with baseball next spring. For
those girls who are unable to partici
pate in the more strenuous sports there
will be tennis and hiking. Volley ball
and other sports may be introduced.
All girls have undergone complete
physical examinations during the past
week, and will be given proper exer
cises to fit their physical abilities. "No
girl will be excused from all forms of
physical education," said Mrs. Andrews.
"There will be something provided for
the needs of each individual."

A LARGE FRESHMAN
CLASS BEGINS FALL
WORK AT GUILFORD
One Hundred and Ten Matricu
late, Making Record Class.
Guilford County Leads
54 BOYS AND 56 GIRLS
Type of Student is Noticeably Higher
Than in Past Years, Especially
Among the Men Students
The total enrollment of the Fresh
man class this fall is 110, the largest
enrollment in the history of Guilford.
The entire student body, numbering
285, also marks a record for the past
few years. These facts point conclu
sively to the fact that Guilford is gain
ing in popularity, due partly, no doubt,
to the fact that Guilford has become n
full-fledged member of the Southern
Association of Colleges.
Guilford county, as is fitting, ranks
first in furnishing students to both the
freshman and upper classes. Yadkin,
true to her past, comes next in order.
Wayne is third, while Surry, showing
an increased popularity of Guilford
there, sends more students than at any
time during the recent years. Alamance,
Yadkin, Stokes, Forsyth, Wilkes and
several other counties are represented
in varying proportions, ranking from
1 to 15. Several students come from
distant states. The ratio of boys and
gills is about equal, the frosliman class
being an example with 54 boys and 56
girls.
Last year the freshman class totaled
109, one less than the present enroll
ment. The year of 1925 also broke all
previous records. From these statistics
it is evident that Guilford is gradually
expanding year by year. This year sets
the record over all the past years. It
marks the beginning of a new era of
growth and progress for Guilford Col
lege.
TAYLOR IS ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF RATS
Other Officers Are Elected by Class of
'3l in Its First Meeting—Election
is Reputed to Be "Fiery"
September 10 the freshman class met
for an election of officers. After a
series of nominations and polling of
votes, Howard Taylor was selected as
president, Mary Reynolds as vice-presi
dent, Gertrude Hinshaw as secretary
and treasurer, Mabel Ingold, assistant
secretary and treasurer, and Calvin
Wray as marshal.
The nominees for president were Sin
clair Williams, Scarborough, Robinson
and Taylor. Robinson carried a heavy
vote, but, although evidently very much
of a class favorite, he and Williams
were eliminated from the race and votes
cast again. Scarborough, coming from
Greensboro high school, where he was
a class leader, and one of the most popu
lar boys in school, carried the support
of Greensboro and Guilford county. His
friends rallied to his support with fiery
speeches. Taylor, coming from Cope
land high school, in Surry county, was
supported by Surry and Yadkin from
the first; and, as the fight progressed,
the uncertain counties swung to his
support. The final vote resulted in 47
votes for Taylor and 40 for Scarbor
ough.
The other offices were filled with less
enthusiasm, but, nevertheless, were very
closely contested.
