Everything about Continued on page 8 Stewart Resigns, Replaced by President's Assistant By Emily C. Bonk Provost Bruce Stewart will be leaving his position at Guilford College to accept the role of head master of Abington Friends School in Pennsylvania as of June 1, 1984. The 1961 Guilford graduate, from Lynn, Massachusetts, began as Director of Admissions in 1967 having previously acted as Dean of Student Affairs for the NC School of the Arts in Winston- Salem in its initial stages of development. His responsibilities at Guilford increased from Director of the Richardson Fellows Program, an honors program designed to educate students with unusual potential for creativity and leadership, to Academic Dean, until he reached his present posi tion of Provost in 1979. The position of Provost was established as a special assistant to the president in academic areas, and serves much the same function as that of Academic Dean. The Provost has mixed feelings about leaving Guilford. "I've spent twenty years of my life at Guilford; you don't put in that much time into anything without some personal attachment to it. I've been close to a number of students for fifteen years. It was a hard decision to make, but it's a good opportunity professional ly." Stewart's duties included representing the president in his absence, securing corporate and foundation gifts for Guilford, and assisting the president in other administrative capacities involv ing the athletic program, the Greensboro Regional Consor tium, and community relations. President Rogers expressed his indebtedness to Stewart, describ ing him as extremely effective in representing the college to the community and in working with students to make their education at Guilford a success. Stewart called the last fifteen years "the most exciting period of growth in Guilford's history" which saw the development of the Regional consortium, a coopera tion among area colleges in courses and other programs, the integration of blacks into Guilford at the beginning of his career here, and the deelopment of foreign and off campus pro grams. "I've seen Guilford emerge in quality to an institution of high academic reputation," Stewart stated. Further, "There are very few places that are both compas sionate and intellectually rigourous. I've seen Guilford get ting stronger and stronger." March 28, 1984 He took a personal interest in the careers of students who might not have otherwise been able to attend the school, and followed through with them to graduation, Rogers said. Brine SU-wart He was further praised as a loyal and devoted administrator, helpful in the recruitment of new and effective faculty and in ob taining grants for Guilford from corporations. The president went on to comment on Bruce's power ful sense of fairness in seeing the needs of a variety of people met, and described his special sense of humor which added humaness to administrative discussions. Bruce will continue to be in volved with Guilford as a representative of and consultant to the school. He will be truly missed by the entire Greensboro community, Rogers said. In replacing Stewart, the deci sion was made to phase out the position of Provost in favor of the new position of Assistant to the President. Some former respon sibilities will be assumed by the Academic Dean and members of the Development staff while the new assistant will undertake new duties such as the coordination of campus committees and matters of correspondence. Replacing Stewart's position of Provost is Robert L. Wynn 11, who will act as assistant to the President. Wynn will join the ad ministrative staff beginning April 10 of this year. Originally from this area, Wynn was a Morehead Scholar at UNC-Chapel Hill, graduating in 1976. He then attended law school at the University of Michigan. He will be leaving a position of Senatorial Assistant in the Wisconsin State Senate. Wynn was described by both Stewart and President Rogers as im pressive, bright and energetic.
