lecture at the College Union to
night. The program is scheduled
for 8:15 p.m. Her subject will be
"Giotto." Slides will possibly be
shown, and some of the artist's
pictures may be displayed.
According to legend, Giotto was
a child genius, and he stands at
the crossroads as a crucial figure
in the development of art because
he followed the direction of St.
Francis of Assisi in naturalism.
Mrs. Milner will present Giotto
with his pictures as a main in
terpreter of St. Francis. This lec
ture will go along with the last
Friday evening lecture, the 17th,

A. Milner on "St. Francis of As
sisi."
One special point which will be
brought out during he lecture con
cerns the Arena Church of Padua,

when you stand in this church,
"you feel as if you were standing
in the heart of an opal."

Business Office
Announces SIOO
Tuition Increase
The business office recently an
nounced a hundred-dollar increase
in the tuition for the 1959-1960
school year. This increase is in
tended to contribute to the,better
ment of the Guilford College
faculty and facilities.
This improvement will help in
troduce the Phi Beta Kappa chap
ter and will make the college more
appealing to other such organiza
tions which might come to this
campus. These organizations would
be beneficial to the student and
the college alike.
Seventy-five dollars of the raise
in funds will go to educational ex
penses. This is intended to increase
faculty compensations and fringe
benefits. This raise in pay will be
able to entice more and better
qualified professors to come to
Guilford. In this way, there is
hoped that the total education
status can be improved.
A part of the funds will be used
to enlarge the program of tutors.
These faculty assistants will be
chosen from the outstanding juniors
and seniors.
Educational equipment, particu
larly visual and auditory aids, will
be purchased with part of the extra
funds. The fee was raised as a re
flection of the constantly increas
ing operational costs and also in
order to increase the library bud
get.
Twenty-five dollars of the total
increase is divided between the
dormitory department and other
non-educational expenditures.
