VOLUME XLII
Development Continues
Chapel Next in Sight
"A million and a quarter by a
century and a quarter/' is the goal
set by Dr. Clyde A. Milner, Presi
dent of Guilford College, for the
completion of the Guilford devel
opment program. At the celebration
of Guilford's 125 years of uninter
rupted educational service, in June
of 1962, the results of the plans are
expected to be completed.
The outstanding feature of the
plan is the building of the last large
Guilford unit an Auditorium-
Chapel-Religious Education build
ng. This chapel will provide an
uditorium large enough to hold
the entire student body and faculty
for undivided convocations and an
annex for music, drama, speech and
religious education. In conjunction
with the main building project will
be the relocation of the athletic
fields to a north-east location and
the complete remodeling of the sec
ond floor of Memorial Hall to in
clude at least four classrooms and
six to eight faculty offices.
Although the facilities of the col
lege will be greatly increased,
quality will not be sacrificed for
quantity. The established maxi
mum enrollment will remain at 600
students with 550 holding a full
work schedule. Dr. Milner stated
that "careful selection of new stu
dents academically qualified for
college work will enable us to point
with pride to the number of stu
dents who finish each year rather
than to the number who begin."
The development of a religious pro
gram especially designed to pre

Appointed New
Alumni Secretary
Gene S. Key of Mt. Airy, has
been named Alumni Secretary of
Guilford College, Dr. Clyde M.
Milner has announced. Key, a 1951
graduate of Guilford, began his
new association with Guilford
about September 20.
While an undergraduate at Guil
ford, he received the Alumni
Achievement Award and the B.

ship. He was also editor of the
Guilfordian.
Key is a native of Surry County
and graduated from White Plains
High School. He was in the Navy
from 1944 to 1945 with duty in the
Hospital Corps at Bainbridge, Md.,
Ft. Eustis, Va., and Camp Perry,
Williamsburg, Va.
In connection with his appoint
ment, which indicates more active
organization of the Guilford alum
ni, Key stated, "I am pleased to be
on the campus of Guilford College
where I can meet first-hand the fu
ture alumni of the school."
His appointment points toward
the completion of previously an
nounced alumni goals by 1962
when Guilford College will cele

pare leaders for the society of
Friends has been included in the
plan, as well as a one year graduate
study program leading to an M.A.
degree in Religion.
Finances for the developments
are to be obtained by endowments
which are hoped to total at least
$2,000,000 and which will include a
living endowment of $20,000 an
nually. Dr. Milner stated that "as
of today, we have approximately
$28,000 in ready funds which are
growing rapidly every day." When
an initial amount is reached, the
building will begin. A most in
teresting feature of the endowment
plan is the initiation of a "Century
and a Quarter Club." Membership
in this organization can be had by
anyone who, over a period of five
years between 1957 and 1962,
donates a minimum of $125.00 to
the Guilford fund. This represents
an initial investment of only $25.00
per annum to an expanding institu
tion.
Class of '6l Boasts
Array of Foreigners
The class of 1961 has entered
upon its rostrum the names of eight
students from foreign lands. These
students have come to Guilford
College planning to further their
education in various fields and
subjects.
Hyum Dju Kim and Sang-Yum
Kim have come from Seoul, Korea.
Hyum Dju is a pre-medical major,
while Sang-yum is majoring in
economics.
Eva Birgitta Leander comes origi
nally from Stockholm, Sweden, to
major in English. She is being spon
sored by the Rotary Clubs of Ashe
boro, Randleman, and Siler City.
Daniel Ulises Manresa and Edu
ardo Okdulio Pupo have come from
Ote, Cuba. Daniel is on a Richard
son Scholarship but hasn't decided
in what field he wishes to major.
Eduardo's arrival has been delayed
due to a legal situation but he is
expected any day.
From Oriente, Cuba, two more
students have arrived. They are
Alfred Santos Melero and Paul
Labrada Barreras, who come on
Richardson Scholarships, but nei
ther has decided definitely upon his
major.
Petty Succumbs
The recent death of Herbert C.
Petty, a member of the Board of
Trustees, has left two openings in
the organization. Mr. Petty served
as vice-chairman for the Board and
assumed the position as Chairman
of the Promotion and
one of the important standing com
mittees. It is expected that the
Chairman of the Board, Bobert H.
Frazier, will call upon L. Elton
Warrick of Goldsboro, N. C., to
fill the chairmanship of this com
mittee.
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 4, 1957
New Faculty Members Lend Talents on
Joining Various Guilford Departments
New faculty members on campus are left to right: Bill Lee Yates, Joseph Stuart
Devlin, Dr. Oscar Polhemus, Dr. Chauncey B. Ives and Miss Mary Catherine
Upchurch.
M.S.G. Holds Retreat for Policy Discussion
On a cold, rainy Sunday, Septem
ber 29, the Men's Student Govern
ment met at Quaker Lake for a
discussion of present and future
policy as another step forward by
this group in promoting a stronger
school spirit and closer cooperation
between students and school ad
ministration.
The president of the organiza
tion, Woody Finley, discussed the
importance of the individual and
his place in God's plan. Charlie
Hendricks then served an excellent
dinner which he and Lee Andrews
had prepared.
Dr. Lovejoy was the next speak
er. He described the various types
of leaders, both good and bad, and
the problems a leader faces in
being a good leader. Dr. Burrows
then discussed the importance of
group cooperation and the func
tion of the democratic form of gov
ernment. He afterwards challenged
the members of the M. S. G. with
Influenza: Will History Repeat
Bulletins, warnings, and predic
tions from all public health officials
caution us to expect an epidemic of
influenza in the late fall and early
winter. This infection that is sup
posed to put several million Ameri
cans "under the weather" has been
dubbed "Asiatic flu." Reports from
all parts of the world show that a
large percentage of the population
of each infected country are feeling
the effects of this disease.
FLASHBACK Guilford Cam
pus was hit by two epidemics of
influenza during January, 1918. The
following account appeared in The
Guilfordian, January 29, 1918:
"Since January 10 . . . fifty patients
have been successfully cared for
in the infirmary. All cases were
fortunately light and no serious
complications occured. As the first
outbreak was confined entirely to
men, this one was almost altogether
a femininist movement —only three
boys were hospitalized."
points to consider as members of
a student government.
With the three challenging talks
to inspire them, the delegates gath
ered into a discussion group to
examine themselves as representa
tives of the Men's Student Body
and their responsibilities therein.
The paramount question raised was
how to develop closer feeling
among the students as members of
a group more esprit de corps,
so to speak.
The M. S. G. is not only a policy
making body; it also undertakes to
see to the carrying out of their
policies. This year the enforcement
will be more rigorous than it has
been in the past.
The final item on the agenda was
committee appointments and some
interesting committees were form
ed .. . new ones to this campus;
their need has doubtless been felt
before and the outcome of their
work should be interesting.
Since the first signs of Asiatic
flu have appeared, a vaccine has
been developed as a preventive
measure. However, it is not 100
per cent effective in preventing an
attack of the disease, and there
is not enough available at the pre
sent time for a mass innoculation
of the United States.
Doctors have listed the most im
portant measures in warding off an
attack of flu as: an adequate
amount of rest and sleep, proper
diet, avoidance of crowds, and gen
eral hygienic procedures.
A report published by Wyeth
Laboratories in cooperation with
the United States Public Health
Service states: "It should be noted
that the present disease clinically
resembles that of 1947 or 1953, not
1918. We should not frighten peo
ple with references to the catas
trophe of 1918—but neither should
we forget the potentialities."
