tions for Master's Degree.
HAVERFORD NOT GIVEN
Edgar Meibohm, 3.0 average honor stu- j
dent, of Greensboro, has be n awarded ,
scholarships for advanced degrees to I
two institutions. The Universities of j
Illinois, at Urbana, and North Carolina,
jat Chapel Hill. According to Mrs. j
Ernestine Milner, personnel director of i
Guilford colleg , Meibohm has been ac* 1
cepted for the two scholarships, but to !
| date has not decided which one lie will j
| take.
In addition to Meibohm's achievement,
Miss Frances Alexander, retiring editor
in-chief of the Guilfordian, has been j
awarded scholarships by the schools of,
social work of William and Mary and
Smith colleges. Miss Alexander is re

from Bryn Mawr college, Bryn Mawr, i
Pa., regarding the awarding of their
"Quaker scholarship."
Each year, Bryn Mawr sets aside a
stipend to be awarded to an outstand
ing senior student of a Friends' col

decide to award it this year.

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., APRIL 18, 1936
DR. CLYDE A. MILNER
GREETINGS FROM THE
PRESIDENT
To the Seniors of the class of 1936:
Greetings and lost wishes for
your continued success.
Many of you, no doubt, are mak
ing plans for college and are con
fronted with the problems of select
ing an institution of higher learn
ing suitahl for your needs. There
are several definite questions that
one must answer:
(1) Shall I attend a large or a
small college- (Both have their d -
ciled advantages and limitations).
(2) Shall I attend a co- duca
t'onal colic ge or a college for men
or for women ?
(3) Shall I begin a specialized
training at once or continue in
buildirg a lroad cultural back
ground for my further development
and professional activityf
Obviously, no one institution can
in et aI! of these demands. If you
are interest.d in a small, liberal
arts, co educational college, may we
invite your careful consideration of
Guilford college?
Tn choosing your college, you
should be certain of its academic
rating. This is of the utmost im-
to you, for it assures you
of a four-year college course of high
quality and of credits acceptable
for graduate work.
Very sincerely yours,
CLYDE A. MILNER.
