Quakers Slated to Lick
Emory-Henry
Volume XLIII
Literary Society
Is Accepted For
SAB Membership
On September 25th, the Student
Affairs Board unanimously ac
cepted a new organization on cam
pus. Every regularly enrolled stu
dent of Guilford College is a mem
ber of this organization, The Guil
ford Literary Society. A student
activates his membership by merely
attending monthly meetings.
All major fields will be repre
sented in the organization, and
programs for each will be sched
uled. At these meetings prominent
leaders from all walks of life,
ranging from music to athletics,
will discuss the problems which
arise in their work and which will
face the college graduates.
Another function of the society
will be to organize debating teams
on campus for the stimulation of
inter-collegiate debating. It is note
worthy that in the history of Guil
ford several debating teams from
numerous campus societies have
functioned. It is hoped that this
tradition of intellectual discussion
of controversial issues will be re
kindled.
Each semester the combined
campus activities of the society
will be culminated in the "The
Tad." The council of the G.L.S.
will serve as the editorial board
for the magazine. Awards will be
presented for outstanding contri
butions from all fields.
The program of the Guilford
Literary Society is constructed so
as to reach each and every student
of Guilford College. Everyone may
take advantage of the many oppor
tunities which are offered by this
new organization.
