CAMPUS SCENES

THE GLU AlbCEL ]F In 1913 a new dormitory for boys, Cox Hall, was erected, accommodations in which have added much to the comfort of young men who have lived in this building. In 1909, through a contribution of nine thousand dollars by Andrew Carnegie, a new Library was erected. The same year a new building was erected for class rooms and a physics laboratory, both these being made necessary in consequence of the second fire, this destroying a second building on the same site. The year before Founders Hall was renewed, steam heat was introduced and the old building, being almost recreated, was made fit for another long term of service. Electric lights had been introduced into the buildings several years before. The increase of endowment, bringing the permanent fund up to o ne hundred and eighty-seven thousand dollars, has been a source of greatly increased power centered in the institution. The added requirements for admission and the development of the de- partments of instruction made possible by the endowment have given the college standing in the eyes of educated people, and there has long been at Guilford an atmosphere of scholarship and solid work and worth.

THE GLUAfClElF Campus Song When the shades of evening gather, Guilford students hie To the soft green-swarded campus. For a time our books laid by; And the parting rifts of sunlight, As they linger soft and long. Shed a hallowed gleam of gladness. On our merriment and song. Now the songs of dear Old Guilford Peal across the downy green. From Archdale to Memorial S pan the distance far between; And the walls of dear old Founders, The reverberations fling From Cox Hall to New Garden. As our voices gaily ring. Then across to fair Arcadia. The chimings wing their flight. Till across the far-flung hill-tops. They kiss heavens dome of light; Then as if they rued their boldness. Back they come n echoes gay. And thus end the winged praises Of the crimson and the gray.
