GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., OCTOBER 8, 1954
Haines Joins Faculty
Mr. Haines, who is teaching
freshman Mathematics, Natural
Science and Psychology labora
tories, is a 1954 graduate of the
Massachusetts Institute of Tech
nology. His thesis project in the
field of physics, consisted of the
designing, development and con
struction of an electronic ther
mometer to be used in medical op
erations. While a student at M. I.
T., he was the managing editor of
"The Tech." a semi-weekly paper
of the institute, and a member of
Beta Theta Pi fraternity.
Mr. Haines comes from a Quak
er background in the rural area
near Wilmington, Ohio; his wife is
from Jeffersonville, Ohio. It would
seem a long way frorr> Ohio rural
life to the study of physics at M. I.
T., but Mr. Haines has been active
in rural 4-H Club projects and on
one occasion won the award for his
grand champion steer at an Ohio
county fair. Mrs. Haines, who is a
Junior transfer student from Ot
terbein College, Westerville, Ohio,
is presently majoring in Education
at Guilford. The Haines are resid
ing off capnpus at the home of C.
R. Bird on Friendly Road.
Frazier Apartments
Under Construction
Ten of the contemplated twenty
two units comprising the new John
Gurney Frazier Apartments have
been completed. The project at Its
comp et'.on will consist of eleven
duplex buildings, which will pro
vide for an increase of from twen
ty-five to thirty students annually.
The new construction will re
place the "pre-fabs," and will be
built of concrete and brick, with
metal doors and window frames.
There are two sizes being built;
4 Vis -room apartments with two
bedrooms, and 3%-room apart
ments with only one bedroom. The
"pre-fabs" will be torn down this
coming summer and the rest of
the Frazier apartment built. When
this is completed, the entire area
will be landscaped and roads and
parking spaces will be provided
around the completed units.
Each apartment will have a bath
tub, lavatory, and toilet; a kitchen
with a large double sink; electric
water heater; and in most cases,
electric stoves and refrigerators.
In the living room there will be
furnished an oil circulator with
thermostatic control and automatic
blower. There is a large closet in
each bedroom, a linen closet with
built-in shelves at the entrance to
the bath, and a coat closet in the
living room. The apartments be
came available to the students on
September 15.
By his gift, which will eventuat
'y amount to $125,000, John Gur
ney Frazier has planned a memor
ial to h's father and an honor to
his son, John Gurney Frazier, Jr.
It has been explained by Dr.
Milner that the John Gurney Fra
zier Scho'arship Fund would in
crease gradually as the apartment
project was completed, assuming
that the rentals from the apart
ments will be devoted in great
amount to the fund. Two of the
what will gradually become twenty
John Gurney Frazier Scholarships
have been established.
NUMBER 1
Plans For The
Coining Year
From the beginning of our
Freshman year we can recall hear
ing plans and future dreams for
Guilford bsing outlined before us.
Each year we recognize these
dreams as realities.
This year, more than ever be
fore, we see the expansion of Guil
ford's construction program. The
new Kathrine Hine Shore Resi
dence Ha'l has besn completed
and is housing forty-nine women
students. Funds are available and
plans are being developed for the
completion and furnishings of the
ground floor area.
Other projects to be completed
during the next twelve months in
clude: the enlargement and mod
ernization of Founders dining hall
and kitchen; a new college infirm
ary; a student union building; the
Frazier apartments.
The renovation of Founders Hall
dining room will increase it two
and one-half times its present size.
Inc'uded in this addition to
Founders Hall will be the college
infirmary which will be located
over the dining hall area.
The eraction of the Student
Union will be the answer to a long
desired wish. Blueprints of this
structure show rooms and lockers
for both women and men day stu
dents, a large lobby, office rooms
for the Quaker and the Guilford
ian, a large conference room +o
serve from fifteen to fifty persons
and a smaller conference room
which can readily be used for per
sonal interviews, and also to be in
cluded is a soda shop (or tea room)
that opens onto a lovely terrace.
The Frazier Apartments, a proj
ect already begun, will also be
competed this year.
Though this is by no means all
of Guilford's plans for the future,
it is an out 1 ay of what is to be done
by September of 1955.
