is no limit on the age of the can

sible career.
Every candidate for the award

Ten Dana Scholars Selected by Committee
GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 13, 1960
Randall Jarrell, Noted Poet, Slated
To Speak at Friday Night Lecture
One of the foremost poets to
emerge since the end of the Sec
ond World War will be the guest
speaker at the Friday night lecture
this week. Randall Jarrell, who
now makes his home in the Guil
ford College community, will read
and interpret some of his own
works for the event.
Mr. Jarrell's 8 p.m. talk is being
sponsored by the Literary Society
and will be held in the College
Union Lounge.
A native of Nashville, Tennessee,
Mr. Jarrell has lived a great part
of his life in Texas, Tennessee, and
California. He has been in North
Carolina since 1947 as a professor
of English at Woman's College
here in Greensboro.
His poetry, which first appeared
in a book in 1942, is considered
excellent by most critics; it is
rather intellectual as opposed to
emotional and is philosophical,
picturesque, and paints a vivid
scene. His work has been highly
Rhodes Scholarship
Competition Begins
Competition for Rhodes Schol
arships for 1960 is now underway.
The deadline for receiving appli

"The selection committee," said
Mr. Edward Hudgins, secretary of
the selection committee, "is inter
ested in good all-round young men
—that is, those who have shown
some definite quality of real dis
tinction in leadership, scholastic
ability and physical vigor."
Any unmarried male student be
tween 19 and 25 who is at least a
junior in college is eligible to com
pete for one of the awards which
each year sends 32 American men
to study at England's Oxford Uni
versity.
A Rhodes Scholarship is worth
750 British pounds annually,
which with care is sufficient to
cover a Rhodes scholar s expenses
for term time and vacation, the
committee secretary said.
An interested student may apply
either in the state in which he re
sides or in the state in which he is
attending college. Application
forms may be obtained by writing

Wm
Armfield Family Donates Gift
To Improve Athletic Facilities
Members of the family of W. J.
Armfield, Jr. of Asheboro have
made a special gift to Guilford
College which will enable the col
lege to relocate and improve its
athletic facilities and establish the
Armfield Athletic Center.
This Center will be located be
hind the new auditorium now
under construction and will include
the present baseball diamond. It
has been given to honor William
J. Armfield, Jr., member of the class
of '94, and as a memorial to Britt
and W. J. Armfield 111. An inscrip
tion to this effect will be engraved
on a plaque which will be placed
on the memorial wall and gate.
In His Honor
William J. Armfield, Jr., long a
leading citizen and builder of
Asheboro and Randolph County,
was prominent in athletics when
he was at Guilford College, and
he has maintained his interest in
the college and its athletic pro
gram.
In Their Memory
Britt M. Armfield was an en
thusiastic and co-operative mem
ber of the Greensboro Advisory
Board to Guilford College and a
supporter of the Greensboro Divi
sion of Guilford College until his
death on September 16, 1953.

soldiers during the Second World
War. He is able to express the
"idealism and the sense of defeat
to which sensitive minds are now
subject."
Aside from his poetry, Mr. Jar
rell is also noted as a literary critic,
a field in which his work is said to
have "amused the sophisticates and
Infuriated the authors."
During 1956-58 Mr. Jarrell was
Consultant in Poetry to the Library
of Congress in Washington, D. C.
According to his wife, he has
"devoted most of his writing time
for the past two years to translating
Goethe's Faust."
His recreational interests turn to
music, tennis, and sports cars.
Mrs. Jarrell, who plans to ac
company her husband when he
visits the campus for his lecture,
reports that, "We love living in the
Guilford College community and
enjoy driving over to the campus
and watching the boys play tag
football."
William J. Armfield 111, who
died February 1, 1956, attended
Guilford and was an active sup
porter of its programs, especially
the organization and development
of the Greensboro Division.
According to President Milner
the new athletic center will make
possible broader student participa
tion and encourage greater alumni
interest in the athletic program of
the college. The relocation of the
athletic fields is a major item in the
current Guilford College Develop
ment Program which began in
1957 and is scheduled for comple
tion in 1982 when Guilford cele
brates 125 years of continuous edu
cational service.
As construction begins on the
new auditorium and athletic cen
ter Guilfordians are finding them
selves somewhat inconvenienced.
All home football games have been
moved to the Guilford High School
football field. The choir is rehears
ing above the noise of the ma
chinery digging at the back door
of its music building. And students
find themselves watching more
and more curiously the hole being
rormed and the red dirt piling up
on old Hobbs Field.
But the improvements being
made are expected to more than
pay for any inconvenience caused
this year.
The 10 students recently selected
as Dana Scholars are (1 to r, front
row) Dora Smith, Brenda Alexan
der, Linda Sheppard, Steen Spove,
(back row) Mrs. Doris Walker,
James Childress, Doug Connor,
Maurice Raiford, Penny Smith and
Miriam Almaguer. Each student
received a scholarship amounting
to SSOO. Each scholar is participat
ing in a two-hour seminar on the
philosophy of liberal education at
Guilford College and is giving five
hours of his time a week to the
college. A 2.00 average is required
of each person.
