Prologue THE FRESHMAN looks at Guilford wearily. Matiiruhitioii. Fieshiiiaii Week, with the fresh- man reception and get-acquainted parties, leave liim confused and excited. This college business is the life! He settles down after the first week to the steady grind. He ' s majoring in Clyde ' s and his social life is really on the ball. He enjoys hay-rides and picnics and finds ' ' the girl forty times a month. He goes uncomplaining through rat court and the indignities of Freshman-Sophomore Day. He finishes his finals after burning countless watts out in electrical current in late study that turned into bull sessions. He goes through agonizing weeks until he gets his grades — he made it! He ' s a sophomore ! He comes back earl to help with the new green freshmen; he wields a paddle as though born with one in his hand, his Iaundr is carried for him. he has a little brother he introduces to the faculty and impresses on him his own importance as a big wheel. ' He decides his major and prepares a sophomore speech and gives it — tremblingly. He tries to terrorize the freshmen, who seem unafraid of his new-found splendor. The year ends and lie is an upperclassman. a junior. His perspective changes — life is a serious business and education comes hard. He counts his class hours accuratelv and looks benignh ' at the Miuiig-tcrs in the classes below. He uses tlie librarv for study and knows where to find that certain liodk in liie stacks. He knows how much work he can do and how nmih he can get away with nut doing. He claps appreciatively freshman talent night, thinking nostalgically of Casey-at-the-bal in the fall of 12. He makes a scholarly junior speech, and finds himself a senior. The tem]io of life changers. He h(dds offices and dashes around from class to class discussing his philosopln of life, and thesis subject. -Some of the girls get diamonds and take new interest in Sociology 24- and ( hild Psychology, and the lioys debate graduate work. The senior waxes senti- mental at odd moments and savs. This is the last bovs ' Mav Dav I II see at Guilford. and walking up from Clyde s at dusk in the spring gets a sudden lump in his throat, a preview of homesickness. At the junior-senior banquet he hears how much he is honmcd by faculty and juniors, and he begirds to believe it and wonders Iiow the scjiool will sur i e without him. He hands a thesis to his majoi professor and, grumbling, writes it over and over. His theme is: but there is too much to do and so very little time. He has job interviews and begins to think definitely of life outside of this small college. He speaks in chapel, senior week and gixes advice to freshmen which both know will be igiKired. He graduates and with his sheepskin tucked firmh under his arm. goes from the halls of learning to conquer the world.
