1 Year Ago "Guilford's New Schedule" from Nov. 5, 2004 Guilfordian
Guilford is gearing up to unveil its new class schedule for the Fall of 2005. The idea was first proposed in 1996. Academic Dean Adrienne Israel brought the idea to the forefront again in 2003. Class days and times will be the most noticeable change in the new schedule next Fall. The new schedule has classes spread throughout the day to give students more common free time for community activities such as student-club sponsored events. The changes will give different time lengths for classes. Over time, it will minimize scheduling conflicts, allow more community time, lessen the overlapping of classes, and make better use of the work week.
25 Years Ago "Liberal Arts Fading?" from Nov. 4, 1980 Guilfordian
The large number of students deciding to major in pre-professional programs rather than the liberal arts has been a cause of concern for some who wonder what implications the trend has for a college like Guilford, which attempts to provide a liberal arts education. The largest major in Guilford's curriculum is management. More students major in management than in philosophy, English, foreign languages, history, religious studies, music, drama, psychology, and sociology combined. Sybilla Colby, Dean of Continuing Education, is concerned with the growing "consumerism" mentality that she sees in contemporary students. "It is not necessary that everyone be a philosophy major, but everyone should be aware of the questions philosophers ask," says Colby.
50 Years Ago "Senior Spotlight" from Nov. 4, 1955 Guilfordian
She is attractive, she is a senior, she is the wife of a faculty member, she is Beverly Haines. Beverly is originally from Jeffersonville, Ohio. She is a transfer student from Otterbein College. She and her husband live in Virginia Ragsdale Alumni House where they are host and hostess to guests there. Beverly is an education major. She hopes to teach in Boston next year. Some of her activities include President of the Women Day Students, Treasurer of the Student Christian Association, member of the Future Teachers of America, and member of the Methodist Student Movement. Her favorite discussion topic is the importance of teaching foreign languages in elementary school. Beverly says that she is very impressed by the informality and the Southern Hospitality at Guilford.
