REMINISCENCES OP GUILFORD COLLEGE
(1896-1899)
By ELIOT KAYS STONE ex 1900
Reminiscences of Guilford College.' " How the memories of my three happy years there
throng back upon me, the teachers and the pupils with whom my lot was cast." I doubt if
you youngsters would recognize the campus as I knew it." I see it as I last looked upon
it in the spring of '99» and that is the only way that I can picture it, for though " my
wanderings have taken me many times to Nevada, once to the Hawaiian Islands, and once
to Italy and Switzerland, I have never seen that beautiful campus since." There were
Founders' Hall and King Hall, and Archdale and the old Y.M.C.A., and some boys' and
girls' cottages, and Memorial Hall erected in my day." In connection with the last-
named building I see a sleepy-headed Freshman waking up at "meeting" and wildly cheering Albert Peel." You see, the evening before we had all been celebrating the gift of
$10,000 (a munificent sum in these days) by the Dukes for the erection of that building,
and the Freshman who had droused off in meeting (what with the heat of the stove, and,
perhaps, the cte him3 dryness of the remarks) evidently imagined himself in the Collection
Room in King Hall loudly cheering the speakers." In any event, he awoke at an inopportune
moment, for Albert Peel had just finished kftatever the spirit had called upon him to say
and was preparing to sit down — cheering, it seemed, was in order." You can imagine hew
sheepish that Freshman looked and felt when he realised where he was and what he had done
to beeome the cynosure of all eyes." The college authorities must have sensed what had oc-
casioned his breech of etiquet for certainly the spirit would net incite one to cheer
in meeting, for not one word did they ever utter to him an the subject, but his fellow
students did not let him off so easily, as the old files of the "Guilford Collegian" will
testify." I know all about it, for that Freshman was myself, and he would oaror recognize
the new "New Garden Meeting House."
Getting back to the beautifully wooded campus, King Hall has since been destroyed by
fire, and a new one erected." New Garden Hall and Cox Hall were net on that eld campus.
