Subscription price .SI.OO per year 1940 Mfmbrr 1941 F\ssocicrted Colle&iate Press In Memoriam The memorial to Dr. Russell Pope, late head of the French department, reveals the man. The college has printed as its No vember bulletin (issued, however, only this January) a slender volume in memory of the Guilford professor who died in Greens boro last summer. Entitled "Within a Quaker College," the book contains 48 of Dr. Pope's shorter poems and "prose col laborations" and an introductory bio graphical essay by the editor, Dorothy Lloyd Gilbert. Miss Gilbert, an intimate associate of Dr. Pope in several writing projects and an accomplished author in her own right, manages in her essay to epitomize a man that too few of us who were his fellows and students came to know. We of course knew the scholar best; and through our contacts with hint chiefly outside of the class room most of us grew to know and admire the mystic and the humourist. Of the man of action, however, we learned but little. The essay, particularly, in "Within a Quaker College" shows this man to us: the Brooklyn boy discovering the sea, sailing to fill his desire; the infantry lieu tenant fighting in France; the lover' of earth walking the farm; the business man, the capable manager. These aspects and remembered pictures of the leader of the "Arehdale society," the be-Brooklyned chapel speaker, the enthusiastic gymnasi um builder, the lonely hiker —all these be come the man whom we are enabled to see clearly, unfortunately, only now. The poems in the memorial, being of the essence, do not show one these several facets of the man. They were written by the mystic.. And it is the mystic one re members most clearly when "Within a Quaker College" has been read and reread. It is a memorial both delicate and dura ble, intimate and perspective. Those who have given it to us are to be sincerely thanked. This is the dedication of the volume which k the summing up: "Guilford col lege presents these poems to her friends in memory of their author Russell Pope who though he now walks the road lit by the Invisible Sun is forever present within this Quaker college." For whole month scandal has been accumu lating with 110 one to report it to Ihe aged, the infirm, and those who just don't set around. What good is scandal if people don't hear about it, 1 always say? Exams or no exams—romance shows no sign new semester perhaps—Why, just t'other day I of slack. A few changes of partners for the saw Charlotte Lewis and Stan Woodward cozily enjoying a game of honeymoon bridge, in a local grcund-beef-and-java establishment. With out regard for other attributes, I will say that Charlotte likes 'em big. And have you noticed the jaunty air that Mc- Millan has assumed since Christmas—ain't it great to he free, Mac? Sure, we hear you clucking! Then there is the new pooch, Jezebel, to be counted in on the deal. Just between us dogs, what's so fascinating about this Woodward guy, anyway? Speaking of pooches. I want to extend my deepest sympathy to Flunkie, the pride of the Binford domicile. Also. Flunkie, remember, here after, don't walk where Betty Locke wants to sit. It ain't l healthy. (At latest reports, Flunkie is doing nicely, having discarded his (?) crutches and gone back to fonr-leg travel.) I often wonder: Why doesn't Claire Potter incorporate? "Claire I'otter Court"—captain of the guard, Hill Gwyn; alternate, John Mendin liall: Gentlemen-in-wniting plenty the line forms on the right. And incidentally, it is rumored about that Itill can't see any point in Claire's having an en tourage of two chapernncs when she has a date with him. Seen in King hall—Little Lauten looking "sab otage" most convincingly while Bill Nafe and Kachcl Fortune hold hands under a philosophy notebook. Don't tell a soul but 1 have heard that both Kachcl and Bill wish that he (Hill) had nercve enough to ask her for a date. And speaking of sabotage: If you see Mr. I.yman Edward Hoilgiu wandering around look ing like an accident looking for a place to hap pen, you might hazard a guess that he "hap pened" to, be in Founders when High Point Bob Wilson made an unexpected appearance—might n't you? And speaking of Wilsons: It would seem that our Bob had a limited Xmas budget. Anyhow Barbara was included out, for a month or so. And now he finds matters complicated by the presence of Fred Taylor. And speaking of Itob. what is going to happen to Itob Garrett? lie seems to bp having trouble again. What with Buck nines' comeback and a "Danny Boy" threat. Romance is so unstable these days. A most cordial welcome back to the campus to Iterk Fontaine and Roberta Shepherd. We have missed you. Note: Dear Steve, it is rumored that Peggy lias ways and means of dealing with douhle crosscrs. I think I shall entitle my column for the next issue "Night Life at Guilford." If any of you Hash camera (lends ran furnish me with typical illustrations, shoot 'em in. I'll see what I can arrange. THE GUILFORDIAN From the October 4, 1922—At the faculty meeting Fri day evening, the average grade required for graduation was placed at 75 per cent. This is doubtless welcome news to present and pros pective students at Guilford college, for the former average grade required, HI per cent, caused not a few qualms in many hearts. November 29, 1922 —After three months of patient waiting the senior class announces the arrival of the electric time and signal system. Instead of the erratic clock and bell now at Founders we will have a large electrically operated master clock guaranteed not to vary more than two minutes per year. Secondary clocks controlled by electrical impulses from the master clock will be placed in Memorial, New Garden (now Mary Iloblis), and Cox halls. Electric bells placed in each building will give the signals for class periods and meals. February 14, 1923 —More than 100 ardent Guilfordians gathered together Friday night. February 0. at the second annual banquet of alumni, alumnae, and friends of the college. It was announced that of the .$150,000 which Guilford county must raise for the endowment fund (set at $500,000), Greensboro would at tempt the raising of one-half that sum, $75,000, along with the Guilford college community. Oracle of Today QUAKER COLLEGE (From "Within a Quaker College") If I could lift my eyes To meet thine own, And know that bliss Which centers in their quiet depths, I could go forth To live each hour, Beside still waters Or the moving tide, A life so constant To thy memory, That men would pause To talk with me, Although not knowing Whence I came, Till I had told them I had been with thee.—Russell Pope. I'm through with women—they cheat and lie. They prey on us males until the day they die; They tease us, torment us. and drive us to sin— Say, who was that blond that just walked inV (Polaris). "What have yon done," Saint Peter asked, "that 1 should admit you here?" "I ran a paper," the editor said. "At my school for one long year." Saint Peter pityingly shook his head, and gravely rang the bell, "Come in, you poor tiling, select a harp, you've had your share of ." I think that I shall never see a poem lovely as a tree.

February 1, 1941 4^e IFF Bv I Urr CBESCEXZO We had a long, long list of resolutions and the last one was to have a good column. Oh, well, we broke the others. Patriotism "No more of these southern dudes for me," says Charlotte Lewis, "my Yankee dude'll do." Short story—Should we lick'er? Hoy 011 campus: What a pretty rose yon have there. Girl 011 campus: I wish it were Four Roses. We liked Chester IJyan's answer to our query as to the whereabouts of I)r. Jlilner. Chester said. "lie's out in California prospecting." We all have something to look forward to. The Macon-Jlonsees nuptials will be held 011 February :il>, 1950, it was officially announced at Mary Ilobbs at 1 p. 111. of yesteryear. We'll go if we can find some one to take care of our seven kids. Did we tell you about the time that Boston bad a time keeping time at a basketball game? Ask referee Larry Menghetti. Slick, eh, Nick? Ilobby came up to us and said, "Joe, it ain't who's who at Guilford but who's through at Guil ford." We said we were interested in Who's News. Question : Which, is the lou. . . worst? During Xmas vacation we verified a mathe matical truth. Now we're sure that two pints make one quote. Objective observation is won derful. Galen Feild, Guilford's inveterate jay-walker, is making, goo-goo eyes at Snook.v Pooky Smith, Guilford's cutest blond. Ask Friedrich for de tails. The Patzig-Cummings rift has taken a new drift. While Patzig sleeps, Albert creeps to the music building and writes heaps of songs to sing to Shirley early in the morning. We know they'll be reunited, so when our new composer gives her his next melody, she'll give him the air. Theme song for Charlotte Speare: She's only a I'.ird in a Guilford cage. She; You remind me of Marlowe. We, (elated) : Ah, we're a great dramatist? She: No, you have a mighty line. Dear Helen, A good movie to see is "Third Finger, Left Hand." P. S.—Take Cesca with you. Question: Why do they call the place where Larry dates —Peacock Alley—when, within a stone's throw, where Solly dates, is Guilford Heights? It's a quickie, ain't it, Nickie? And now, wo come lo the place where we've run out of stuff. By the time our next column is out. marks will be out and we believe we'll take a little vacation. We've giving Larry Palder a tryout as a guest artist. Here goes: (The censor marks are ours.) BOSTON HKAMS (Our Title) Atmosphere in General The way fo enjoy an exam —shower and shave a la Feild.
