VOLUME XXXVI GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., DECEMBER 9, 1949 NUMBERS
Program Tonight Features Scene From
Miss Gilbert's 'ln Faith and in Unity'
A return to the past is to In-1
maneuvered by a group of Guilford i
College students wnd faculty mcni t
tiers here tonight at S o'clock, when
a scene from the play, "In Palth
and In Unity," will lie given in Muke
Memorial hall. Written by Dorothy j
Lloyd Gilbert, associate professor
of English, in I!M2, the play, based
011 actual Guilford College history, j
was given in pairt before the North ;
Carolina Society for Preserving An-!
tlquities last Thursday. It was
given as part of a program entitled
"Quakers in Piedmont Carolina."
The theme for the play Is the pre
vailing conditions in New Garden
Hoarding School in INH7. only a few
months after ils opening. Charac
ters portrayed in the scene are those
who were paramount in the early
days of the institution.
As the pMßfcstor.v goes Harriet
Peek, one of thu firjH teachers at
New Garden, ftljk>aher women
students for a visit fron Nathan
Hunt, patrlarcfl ;it(l iVßtidtn* of the
school; Joton- Jne|>h- MJfcritey, visit
ing Friend from Kugland: Elizabeth
Coggshell, u Philadelphia Friend:
James Mendenhall. North Carolina
Friend; and other important Quak
ers of that era.
The visitors viewed the teaching
methods of Harriet Peck, and wen l
pleased. The school hud hoeu o|>ened
tluree months, and was considered
quite a venture. However, the strict,
disciplinary manner in wldch the
pupils were being trained, and the
religious emphasis placed on the
subject matter pleased even Eliza
beth Coggshell, 'the conservative
Quaker lady from Philadelphia. The
group decided that the venture was
worthy of Yearly Meeting support:
and prophesied that it would reap
rewards in the years to come.
The part of Nathan Hunt is to
be appropriately played by I).r.'
Clyde A. Milner, Guilford president
who is helping carry out the vis j
ions of the Patriarch of the in>ti-|
tut ion. Dr. Milner wears Hunt's!
hat, which is one of the valuable
collections that has been preserved
in the college vault. Judith Men-1
denhall Mower, Guilford student
from High Point and descendant j
of Miriam Memlenball. is to play
the part of tie- influent iu4 jSorth
( lady.

l or those of you who make it
;t policy not to go to Cultural
Resources programs, a break of I
this policy would he a ginnl idea
tonitrlit. No one will feel their j
time wasted after spending a
lew minutes observing a scene
from Miss Gilbert's play, "In
Faith and in I'nity." The play
is not only history-revealing,
hut has a rare undercurrent of
wit, for which its author is
known. Mrs. Milner will tell the
audience about Holly Madison's
family at New Garden on the
same program; and Miss Gil
bert will give a talk on "The
I'lanting of Quakerism in Pied
mont Carolina." (See detailed
story in this issue.)
