Physical Examinations, Typhoid Vaccines Given All Students, Oct. 15, 1924

Typhoid Vaccine Given All College Students

As a sort of by-product of the typhoid scare which swept over the campus this summer, the college authorities are launching a more strenuous campaign for the prevention of contagious diseases than has ever been carried on in past years.

All students have been given a physical examination and are being given treatments of the typhoid vaccine as well as smallpox vaccinations when the latter is necessary. Particular care is being given to testing for weak hearts and diseased lungs. Dr. Bell and Dr. Williams of Greensboro are assisting Dr. Williams of Guilford College and report the Guilford students as a pretty “healthy” bunch.

E.B. Brown New Managing Editor of The Guilfordian, Oct. 15, 1924

E.P. Brown ’26 Elected New Managing Editor

Edwin P. Brown ’26 of George, N.C., was elected managing editor of the Guilfordian to succeed Edward M. Holder, who resigned from this post at the beginning of the present scholastic year. Mr. Brown has served as reporter from the Henry Clay literary society for one semester and his work has been so creditable that he was unanimously elected to this position. He takes office at once.

Mr. Holder, who was a most energetic and successful managing-editor during last Spring’s semester, was forced to resign the post on account of duties connected with the instructorship in the piano department of the college.

B. Russell Branson ’25 of Goldsboro, N.C., was elected by the Henry Clay literary society to fill the vacancy created by Mr. Brown’s promotion to the managing editor’s position.

The new elections for the year on the Guilfordian staff are: Professors A.I. Newlin and George P. Wilson, faculty advisers; B. Russel Branson, reporter, Re-elections, Ethel Watkins, circulation manager, and N. Era Lasley, Alumni reporter. There is still a vacancy on the reportorial staff from the Henry Clay and Philomathean literary societies.

Elton Warrick, Jack Harrell on Quaker Eleven, Oct. 15, 1924

Elton Warrick, (l) center, and Jack Harrell, (r) right guard, of the Quaker line. Warrick, who hales from Goldsboro, has been “chunking” the oval to the back field for three seasons and is still going strong. Warrick is a hard fighter and a good sport, and is a favorite among the Guilford fans. Harrell is also from the Sand Hills of eastern Carolina. His ability to plunge the line makes him a valuable asset to the Quaker eleven. When everybody else is “down in the mouth,” “Lem” can be heard the most.

Mr. Haworth Talks of Europe at Chapel, Oct. 15, 1924

Mr. Haworth Talks on Europe at Chapel

Rev. Samuel Haworth in leading chapel Monday morning discussed some of his experiences in Europe. He characterized the Atlantic as “a gulf that separates two worlds.” The Speaker described the physical characteristics of Europe as very different from those of America, contrasting the sunny skies of America with the fog-laden, rainy British Isles.

Mr. Haworth described European customs and ideas thus: “There is the projection of the past into the present that we do not have in America. Some evidences of the past continuing into the present is the cathedrals and museums. The British museum is the greatest collection in the world. There is a sense of underlying community between England and America, and between the past and present.

Mr. Haworth then characterized the movements of civilization as cyclic. “There is a community of interest,” said he, “among peoples. I want to lay this challenge before you that the world today needs the realization of the big neighborhood idea. Let each put his life into this big plan. One’s life is given him for service to humanity.”

College Life Should Develop Intellectual, Social, Spiritual Sides, Says Miss Kopf, Oct. 15, 1924

Miss Kopf Justifies Collegiate Training

Miss Kopf in her chapel talk of last Tuesday related two incidents, one of which was about a business man who had never attended college expressed his views, stating that a college education was of no benefit to business men. The second was concerning the will of an old gentleman. This man, again not a college man, left a fortune of $124,000. The conditions were that his nieces and nephews should not receive a penny till after they had graduated from college, and then only a small sum at first. A remark of the old gentleman was quoted: “I do know that if I had received a college education I should have given more to life and gotten more out of life.”

“College life,” said the speaker, “should develop the intellectual, social and spiritual sides of our lives. All round development is what we want.” Four years are not enough for intellectual development, for it is a slow process. The Mentor contains this recommendation, “Learn one thing a day.”

Miss Kopf stated that cramming causes one to lose the connecting links in a field of knowledge. She stressed the necessity of attending to one’s social duties and stated that one should get pleasure out of them. She emphasized the fact that neither side of one’s development should be neglected.

Louise Osborne Recovering from Appendicitis, Oct. 15, 1924

Miss Louise Osborne Undergoes Operation

Miss Louise Osborne, dean of women, has taken to Long’s Hospital in Greensboro on Wednesday the 8th, to undergo an operation for appendicitis. The latest reports (Sunday night) say that Miss Osborne is recovering as rapidly as possible, considering the seriousness of the case.

It was known from the first that Miss Osborne was threatened with appendicitis, but in the hope that an immediate operation would not be necessary, the doctors advised a delay in operation in order that she might gain strength for an operation later. On Monday, the 5th, recovery seemed certain, and she herself was very optimistic concerning her recovery without an operation. On Tuesday night, however, her condition became so serious that on Wednesday an immediate operation was strongly advised. She was rushed to Long’s Hospital in Greensboro, and operated upon early Wednesday morning.

From the latest reports concerning her condition, (Sunday night), it is learned that she is gaining in strength and that she is slowly coming out of danger.
