Persian Rug Beautifies
Quaker Room
by Forrest Hughes
The Quaker Room in
Guilford's library recently
became the proud possessor of
a genuine Persian rug.
According to Mrs. Treva
Mathis, curator of the Quaker
Collection, the 12' 4" by 24'7"
carpet is, "one of the largest"
made over the Kirman
(sometimes spelled Kerman)
pattern. It is also unusual in
that the scroll and palmette
design in shades of blue and
red on a beige background is
evenly distributed over the
rug instead of radiating from a
central motif as in most
Persian rugs.
The rug, a donation from

Mr. and Mrs. Sidney Jefferies
of Greensboro, was originally
purchased forty years ago as
an investment. Due to an
increasing dissatisfaction with
the storage place, the
Jefferies decided to look for a
place where the rug could be
displayed to its best advan
tage. The Quaker Room with
its ideal dimensions, antique
furniture, and large display
area was the final choice.
Over Christmas break the
rug was laid by members of
the Administration, and is
now available for viewing
under the scheduled Quaker
full 1976-77 academic year.

Looking in from
the Outside
by David Bradley
A slogan on a poster read,
"College: A place to keep
warm between high school
and marriage." The implica
tions of this slogan are
obvious. College is the last
opportunity for the individual
to view the world from the
"outside" and make asser
tions about life before he has
to step out into it.
The Summer School Abroad
Program at Guilford provides
an opportunity for the student
to get a firsthand look at other
cultures and to really
understand all facets of life. It
also allows the student to
leave college with a broader
perspective toward all aspects
of life. In other words you are
mis&ing a lot by not
experiencing life in other
countries.
For the student who has
already made plans for the
upcoming summer, a look at
the program for a possible trip
in 1977 would be beneficial.
The England School con
tains two courses. The first
Theater in Great Britain will
focus on plays in performance,
designed to allow the student
to witness some of the
theatrical history Britain \ s
famous for. The second course
Place and Humane Space in
British Architecture, deals
with how the architecture is
influenced by man as an
individual and as a member of
the community.
The German program
courses are The Culture and

Political Contrasts of Four
German Speaking States and
German Conversation. The
former provides an opportu
nity to study a culture which
has contributed greatly to the
culture of the Western world
and of a culture whose origin
reaches back to the life of the
earliest German tribes.
The French Program in
cludes the course French
conversation and the course
French Culture and Civiliza
tion. the latter analyzing the
history, culture, and civiliza
tion of France.
The Greek Program courses
are The Golden Age of Athens
and Greek Drama. The first
course is a survey of the
political, social and cultural
history of Athens from the
establishment of Democracy,
to the collapse of the Athenian
Empire. The second course is
designed to add a literary
persective to the survey of The
Golden Age of Athens.
Summer School in Spain
begins its initial year and its
courses Spanish Conversation
and Spanish Culture and
Civilization are self-explana
tory.
The last school, the Russian
Program requires, no previous
knowledge of Russia. Its
courses are Language and
Literature and Culture and
History of Russia from 988 to
the Present. The latter course
examines the course Russia
has taken; from a Christian
society inMedievakimes to the
present-day authoritarian po
wer.
The student who plans to
travel abroad next year may
wish to take courses at
Guilford related to the country
he will be travelling through.
