Graduate School; One-Fourth Teaching
Ry EI) POST
What are you going 'to do after
graduation? This question has cer
tainly liewildered many a poten
tial Guilford College graduate. The
chances are, besides getting mar
ried, you will enter some profes
sional field or continue on to grad
uate school.
An investigation of some of our
I>ast graduates seems to reveal a
definite trend toward carrying on
work toward advanced degrees.
About one half of the members of
the class of 1!)49, which was com
posed of record number of 108 grad
uates, are continuing their educa
tion.

Spicer Program Well
Enjoyed by Audience
Guilford College students enjoyed
one of the most unique and inter
esting programs of the year when,
on Friday, January 2K, at 8 p.m. in
Memorial Hall, Earle Spicer pre
sented one of his famous program*
of ballad and folk music.
The program of Spicer's suited
everybody's taste, which is unusual
for any musical program. The sing
er was his own accompanist, and
even still, he dramatized the story
narration of the numbers he sang.
The concert program was grouped
into three sections—a section of bal
lads from the English tradition;
one from the American tradition;
and ballads from Shakespeare and
Gilliert and Sullivan..
Among the numbers were "Rar
bara Allen," Old English ballad;
"Caliban's Song," from Shake
speare's The Tempest; and "Old
Point the Cowhorse," an old Ameri
can folksong.
Spicer was assisted in two num
bers by Miss Gene Peace at the
piano, and a male quartet, composed
of James Williams, Ray Hurley, Joe
Gamble, and Robby Marshall, as
sisted him in one of his liest received
numbers, "When 1 Was a Lad."

The QuilforSon Tomorrow Night
Dr. Steere, wiho is also a well
known author, developed his speech,
"The Nature of a Vocation," around
the questions of how God works;
of how the "new order" conies; and
Just how this "new order" breaks
through. He answered these ques
tions by saying that God works in
the world through changed men and
women; and that God draws the
order into being through prophetic

Others who can be seen checking

Although a large percentage of
Guilford Alumni enter the state in
stitutions for higher studying, grad

these schools. For instance, Kent
Tiliey is taking a law course at
the University of Richmond, and
Hoyle Allred is at the Southern
Raptlst Seminary in Louisville.
Students Are Told
Of Mom History
Guilford College students were
told last Friday that atomic power
is lieing used today in experimen
tation in the fields of agriculture,
medicine, and other social and in
dustrial fields as well as in the pro
duction of bombs.
Dr. E. Games* I'urdom, profes
sor of physics at Guilford, reviewed
the history of the study of the atom,
and explained some of the under
standable principles of the atom.
"The power we derive from the
universe," Dr. Purdorn explained,
"is believed to come from the sun
and stars." He briefly explained
the general knowledge surrounding
the so-called "H" bomb, saying that
1,000,000 degrees temperature are
thought to lie needed in its construc
tion process, and that the bomb had
not materialized as yet.
Dr. I'urdom spent the past sum
mer at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where
he, with other physicists, studied the
"atomic pile" in relation to its pos
sibilities in medical, agricultural,
industrial, and other social fields.

system and decide on whether it is
producing the right type of indi
viduals for the present urgent need
of world society.
Dr. Steere, in the final program
of the Religious Week End observ
ance at the college, began with the
atom blast at Hiroshima, listing the
three types of iieople that were pres
ent. "After the blast," he said, "the
majority of the populace which was.
alive went surging through the
streets, looking for refuge, and un
aware of the cries of the anguished
pinned beneath the wreckage.
"The second portion heard the
cries, but ignored them with the
rational 'Let someone else do it*
idea, and kept going. A small third
group, which was terrified also, nev
ertheless stopped and aided the suf
fering. These No. 3 type individuals
are what our Christian and educa
tional institutions must turn out."
The speaker willed attention to
the prophet Elisha, who to return
the kindness a woman had shown
him, put his Itody on top of the body
of the woman's son and breathed
his own breath into the young man's
lungs, restoring life."
"This is what we must do to gain
the confidence of others," said
Steere.
Dr. Steere also spoke at New (Jar
den Meeting on Monday.
Development Goal
Lacks $93,000
As of February 4, the Develop

of its $701,000.00 goal. This fig
ure is encouraging, according to Dr.
Milner, as it shows that $43,280.00
; lias been added to the fund in the
! past 60 days.
j Dr. Milner feels that, with the
! help of students, iKirents, commu
nity, alumni, and other Guilford
friends, the $93,085.00 figure will in
the near future be diminished. Any
student gift of any amount will be
appreciated, and may be contributed
at the president's office.
