One of the standouts of the Hopkins varsity lacrosse team of the 1930s, Lorne Guild \u201932 was a midfielder but also adept at attack. He helped the U.S. lacrosse team (AKA the Hopkins Blue Jays) bring home the Gold Medal in the 1932 Summer Olympics.<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Lorne Guild \u201932 remembers his years as an electrical engineering major as \u201cworking in the lab mornings and afternoons, then again on Saturday mornings. Then I would go play lacrosse.\u201d And how he played! Guild was a three-time All-American, and twice named to the First Team (in 1931 and 1932). He played on the 1932 National Cham\u2013 pionship team and on the Blue Jays team that bested Canada for a Gold Medal in the 1932 Summer Olympics, a game that attracted an astounding crowd of 80,000 in Los Angeles. \u201cThose were great years,\u201d he reminisces. \u201cPlaying lacrosse meant getting out in front of a crowd. You felt like you were out there participating in something.\u201d<\/p>\n

Graduating from college at the beginning of the Depression was \u201ctough,\u201d notes Guild. \u201cIt was almost impossible to get a job\u2026 but the University helped me. First, I worked in Washington holding a red flag over a manhole while another man spliced cables. That was something!\u201d During his career spanning more than 40 years, Guild worked for Potomac Electric Power Co., Baltimore Gas & Electric Company, Koppers Company, and Western Electric Co. He retired from Western Electric as senior staff engineer.<\/p>\n

For seven decades, Guild has maintained his close ties with Hopkins as a volunteer and contributor, and he attends alumni dinners \u201cat least once a year,\u201d he says. \u201cI donate money [to the Engineering school] every year because I received a scholarship, and a free education. I feel obligated to help others have the same experience.\u201d A long-time class agent, the Whiting Legacy Circle member has made a provision in his estate plans for a generous scholarship in his name that will permanently benefit future Engineering students.<\/p>\n

The legend of Guild\u2019s lacrosse prowess is still in play. In 1967, he was inducted into the National Lacrosse Hall of Fame. He\u2019s a member of the Alltime Johns Hopkins Lacrosse team. And this October, he became part of the Class of 2002 inducted into the Johns Hopkins Athletic Hall of Fame.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
