"LITERARY SOCIETIES"
While Guilford has been expanding
in many fields, there was a tendency
for the literary side to decline last
year. Whether or not it will happen
this school year remains to be seen.
The majority of students when ap
proached on this subject, present an
indifferent attitude, apparently failing
to see any good to be derived from
work of this type. Guilford offers ex
cellent opportunity through its liter
ary societies for unlimited literary
work.
The new students have been on the
campus about three weeks and are
now deciding whether they are inter
ested in societies or not. Eagerness
shown by old students will have a big
influence on their decision. If the
newcomers become enthused, then
there will be a big chance of reviving
societies, especially the Henry Clay
and Websterian societies. The girls
societies seem to be starting off with
more than the usual enthusiasm dis
played. The Henry Clay society is
"meeting" and trying to get a new
start.
When one thinks of the values de
rived from such a membership he or
she should immediately decide in fa
vor of societies. One of the outstand
ing benefits is the training in public
speaking obtained. The ability to ex
press oneself successfully is invalu
able in life. Alumni, who were once
active in literary lines, when asked
about societies, reply that in their
opinion the benefit obtained from such
an association of students, is as val
uable as any course the college of
fers. New students, we urge you to
join some society now.
"IT CAN BE DONE"
Rita S. Halle in her article in Sep
tember McCalls entitled "It Can Be
done" deals with the interesting prob
lem of students working their way
through college. Miss Halle's conclu
sion that the plan is feasable is cor
roborated by the situation at Guilford.
"The young American is a determ
ined animal, said the head of the vo
cational bureau of one of the big mid
western colleges. If he wants any
thing, he does not allow handicaps to
stand in the way of his getting it. If
he wants a college education, the
trifle of his not having the money
will not prevent him, probably four or
five hundred thousand strong each
year, from going to college." Here on
our campus, are many determined
young people, living examples of the
above statements.
The project isn't all fun, it demands
sacrifice, work, and courage; but it
creates a type of person who can step
into the world and fill his place with
only slight adjustments. Especially is
this true when a student gains prac
tical experience in the direction of his
vocation, while working to defray his
expenses.
"At some colleges, the same bureau
that handles term time employment
arranges for students employment
during the vacations. The average

saving from these jobs is about $200."
Working one's way, within reason
able limitations, is not necessarily
an academic handicap. We find lead
ers of all student activities, class
presidents, organization heads, foot
ball captain, who are self help stu
dents."
Although there are many adherents
to each pole of thought regarding
loans, the practice of Guilford makes
an education possible for a large per
centage of its students.
This plan, "if it is handled in a
business like way, has the advantage
of teaching the students the value of
money and budgeting himself a
knowledge all too rare in college stu
dents, and that also, since the security
for such a loan must be the student's
character and his promise the grant
ing of it gives him a character and a
credit standing early in his career."
The student who earns his way at
Guilford demands our admiration and
our hope for his success.

THE GUILFORDIAN
QUAKER QUIPS
While going to dinner the first day
the Rat Ti-ee rule went into effect a
senior wise cracked—"Look at those
guys waiting for curb service."
This same senior is responsible for
one that G. C. water is too cold to
bathe in and too hot to drink.
Anyway, we upset the dope in the
Emory and Henry game. They were
slated to beat us 30 points. (Accept
that as consolation, if you can.)
Jim Harper drove us to the game
in Prof. Reynolds car. After it was
all ovsr and we were home James ad
mitted that he scared himself twice
while driving. Personally I was only
frightened once—all the way there
and back.
On the way home from Emory and
Henry Austin Garner and Harper
both ordered steaks. The latter was
still waiting for his when Garner had
finished. Purnell pulled the fast one
that maybe the man wanted to get
one more milking out of that cow be
fore he brought him in.
ARTHUR HENDERSON OF
ENGLISH PARLIAMENT
SPEAKS TO STUDENTS
(Continued from Page 1)
nine men of the Labor Party. Thus
this great political party developed in
less than thirty years so that it had
sufficient support to take over the
reins of the government on two occa
sions.
During the last twelve months,
Britain has had to face some very se
rious problems. Chief among these
is the industrial situation. Every in
dustrial country, except France, faces
the problem of the unemployed. There
has been introduced in England a sys
tem of Social Insurance. Each week
10,000,000 adult workers have deduct
ed from their wages one shilling eight
pence which amount is paid to a great
fund to which the state contributes
1150,000,000 a year. This compulsory
insurance is effective under four con
ditions:
I—lllness yields just under §4 a
week with medical attention, etc.
2—'Unemployment pays an allow
ance for the man, his wife, and a
certain amount for each child.
3—Widows receive a pension which
has been dispensed to 500,000 women
since last year. Each child receives an
allowance until he is sixteen.
4—When a worker and his wife are
sixty-five years old, they receive an
old age pension.
Perhaps this system may be attack
ed as savoring of paternalism or tak
ing initiative from the worker. Mr.
Henderson said personally "This is a
policy of social justice for the good
of the community. I am in revolt
against the present conditions of so
ciety and am working for a more
equitable redistribution of wealth."
The world is suffering from the ef
fects of the war. With the purchasing
power of the people reduced and their
obligation to pay reparations, the
commercial prosperity of the world
is affected by the proximity of na
tions.
In regard to international affairs,
Mr. Henderson said that peace is an
aspect of national affairs. "The Hoov
er administration has won a practical
result. Although the London Naval
Conference was not the success hoped
for, it laid the foundation for an ef
fective and serious attempt to grapple
with the problem of armaments." Mr.
Henderson is sorry that the United
States is not a leaguer, but he is a
firm believer in the greatest possible
understanding between nations thru
a system of cooperation. He as an
internationalist is for "Anglo Ameri
can friendship, the cornerstone of in
ternational peace, which will be bas
ed upon an understanding of the oth
er's point of view, an understanding
of the other's problems." The influ
ence of this friendship on other na
tions would be great.
The speaker discussed the London
Naval Treaty and the League of Na
tions. Under the optional clause of the
latter, all judicial disputes are to be
submitted to a committee on arbitra
tion, in connection with the interna
tional court of justice. This does not,
however, cover points of honor. The
differences between France and Eng
land are not objective, but on meth
od. France is an advocate of Pan-
Europe while Britain maintains that
Furnas Discusses
Real Things of Life
Thomas Carlyle, Oxford Man
Was Noted Possesser of
Great Knowledge
STUDENT URGED SEEK IT
On Tuesday morning Prof. Philip
Furnas gave the student body a very
interesting and inspiring talk on seek
ing honest attainment and getting
possession of the real things in life.
Mr. Furnas told of a college class
mate of his who was a great athlete.
Roy Conrad, his friend, could run the
hundred yard dash in ten seconds
easily. If he was pressed he could cut
his time to nine and four-fifths sec
onds. He also possessed great speed
in the two-twenty and other races.
Conrad had a marvelous physic. Due
to his athletic powers he piled up for
himself money, medals, symbols of
high attainment. Finally a day came
when Conrad's youthful power and
energy were gone. All that remained
were the mere symbols.
On the board of examiners for the
PhD. degrees at Harvard University
is a man who does not even possess
a Doctor's degree himself. This bril
liant man has no doctor's degree be
cause he in all probability knows
more about his subject than anyone
else, and therefore there is no one
able to give him a proper examina
tion. This man has the real thing and
everyone knows he does. Neither he
nor anyone knowing him cares for
symbols which he may lack. They
rightly distinguish between the value
of mere symbols and the value of real
things.
Thomas Carlyle is recognized as
one of the outstanding European
minds of all time. At one time Car
lyle was offered a pension and a
baron ship by a rich English noble
man. This was Carlyle's chance for
comfort and political recognition. He
refused these symbols however and
continued his simple honest life, con
tent, because he knew he possessed
something greater than wealth and
social or political power.
Another example of someone who
profited by his wide range of knowl
edge is Linley. Linley once bought a
history in a little bookstore in Chi
cago for fifteen cents. He realized its
value and kept it despite the many of
fers he had for it. Finally he accepted
a thousand dollars for it thus making
$999.85 profit on his investment.
everything must be done through the
League, which is the only effective or
ganization in existence.
One of the things Mr. Henderson
did not lose in the war is his ideal
ism, for the practical ideals of today
become the reality of tomorrow. The
great statesman Disraeli said, "The
wealth of a nation is not in material
possessions, be they never so great,
but in the character of her people.
We must realize the importance of
moral courage—to resent, to stand
fast, to say no. If you develop spirit
ually and morally, you'll have a first
class nation."

Fresh-Soph Girls
Have Mad Revelry
Mrs. Andrews Story Concerning
Scurrying Men, Moonless
Nights Proves Treat
Have you ever seen a green rat?
The Freshman girls have. Monday
morning, September 22, each girl
found in hre room a picture of her
prototype and an accompaning mes
sage. The sophs had summoned the
lovely Frosh to appear in front of
Founders Hall at four-thirty in the
afternoon. Somebody had evidently
let the cat out of the bag for many
of the girls had lost their subservi
ent expression and actually looked
anxiously for the ensuing fracas. In
a mad attempt to baffle the all know
ing ones, the Sophs led the way north
of the Binford's home into the small
pine grove. They traipsed through its
coolness untl they came ot a deep rav
ine which overlooked a winding
stream. As they descended the steep
incline they gathered momentum so
that the stream crossing was made
in a flying leap that landed one safe
ly and breathless on the other side
in the midst of a charming, natural
amphitheatre. The way continued past
the new well, across the road and in
to the pasture; thence, in a circutous
route. The mushy places were amply
explored, succeeded by a hillside knee
deep with mulchy leaves, until the
party dizzily emerged on the well
known camping ground of the Guil
fordian.
The Freshmen were immediately
"What we want at Guilford College,"
said Mr. Furnas, "are students that
are anxious to have the real thing."
Actual knowledge and self confidence
are far more important and valuable
than any degrees one might obtain.
We should seek for honest attainment
and forget symbols. We have an ex
ample in Lindbergh which proves that
if a person has the real thing, sym
bols will be heaped upon them. There
fore, we should only think of and
strive for the highest and nobelest
things in life.

lined up and put through their paces
under the able direction of Ottie Slay
ton. Most of the procedure is with
held from the greddy yawning mouth
of the press.
Preciously at the right time, that
phenomenon, the college truck arriv
ed, and with it a supper that might
have been lauded by royalty and was
by the lustily cheering Freshman.
When the last vestige of food had
disappeared Sarah Davis led the
group in those peppy songs which
have recently appeared on the cam
pus. As dusk settled down a crack
the bonfire was lit. Groups formed
around this and the singing continued.
Lucille Patterson, Helen Kane's fair
est rival, then rendered a few num
bers with the assistance of Mildred
Beaseley and another musical recruit
was found in the crooner extraordi
nary, Erline Adams.
Finally, Mrs. Andrews consented to
tell a story, and such a story. Groan
ing, scurrying men, a code map,
buried treasure, moonless nights—all
created an atmosphere which wouldn't
admit a wandering moth without ill
concealed squeals.
The fire burned lower and lower
until the hour of departure arrived.
The girls set off on the homeward
jaunt in another burst of song.
(I'hose Freshman are the singingest
bunch you've ever seen.) All was well
until somebody tumbled into the
slough and encountered a barbed wire
fence. But after such an evening spir
its were too high to be affected by
minor mishaps. With the formal end
to hostility between the Freshman
and Sophomore girls the green rats
take on chameleon-like qualities.
