Former Student Gives $120,000 in Stocks
for New Katherine Hine Shore Dormitory
B. Clyde Shore, a graduate of
Guilford and Winston-Salem Real
tor has given Guilford College a
gift of approximately $150,000.
Most of the gift will be used for
the construction of the new girls'
dormitory which will be named the
Katherine Hine Shore Dormitory
in honor of Mr. Shore's wife.
The remainder will be placed in
a B. Clyde Shore Scholarship Fund
to "aid worthy students, particular
ly those who are training for lead
ership in the Society of Friends.'
The gift was in the form of 1,-
500 shares of stock in the New
Shoreland Park real estate develop
ment on Robin Hood Road west of
Winston-Salem. These shares rep
resent a large tract which will be
subdivided and sold by the college.
The new dormitory will enable
the college to increase its resident
enrollment by about 35 students
and rental from the dorm beyond
the cost of upkeep will be added
each year to the new scholarship
fund
Mr. Shore was graduated from
Guilford in 1925. Mrs. Shore re
ceived her 15.5. degree in Music at
Woman's College, Greensboro, in
1930. While at Guilford, Mr. Shore
played on the baseball and foot
ball teams, was a member of the
YMCA and Henry Clay Literary
Society, and was superintendent of
the Sunday School and President
of the B.Y.P.V. He is now President
of the Shore Real Estate and Insur
ance Company in Winston-Salem.
He is treasurer of the North Caro
lina Yearly Meeting, a member of
the Yearly Meeting's Permanent
Board and Central Committee,
Chairman of the Evangelism and
Outreach Committee and a trustee
of the trust fund. He is a member
of the Winston-Salem Friends
Church where he is chairman of
the Trustees and Finance Commit
tee.
The new girl's dormitory will be
the third major addition to the
campus since a long-range fund
raising campaign was started in
1944. During the next five years
The QuilforMon
the Guilford trustees hope to raise
$1,450,000, which they will use to
construct, besides the new dormi
tory, a new auditorium-chapel-reli
gious education building, enlarge
the dining and kitchen facilities
(the food too?), build a permanent
residence for married students
(they're here to stay), construct a
student affairs building and infirm
ary, develop a recreation and
sports area, and increase the per
manent endowment fund from $l,-
180,(XH) to $2,000,000.
The next construction job will
be the enlargement of the dining
hall so that students will be able
to eat family style at dinner.

the curriculum next semester, it
has been announced by the Eng

been offered in evening hours dur

GUILFORD COLLEGE, N. C., JANUARY 15, 1954
Additional Courses
So often around registration time
is heard the comment, "I wish a
certain course or major were of
fered at Guilford." It is true that
sometimes these wistful thinkers
don't take into consideration the
size of our institution, which places
a limit on some fields to be offered.
If you sit down and really consider
our curriculum here, there are
very few flaws to be found.
There are a few of us who have
taken the above into consideration
and have found a few suggestions
that we consider might be profit
able to the college as well as the
students.
Instances are known in which
students desiring a degree in com
merce have had to go elsewhere
for their education. Should the col
lege be faced with much added ex
pense by the establishment of such
a major?
As can be readily discerned from
the lively interest shown in intra
murals there are quite a number
of girls on campus who would pre
fer to major in Physical Education.
We are pleased, however, with
their preference to Guilford over
a degree in Physical Education.
When students were asked for
suggestions for additional courses
in narrow fields, not many were
forthcoming. Most people agreed
that Guilford has the most thor
ough and all mclusive liberal arts
education to be offered in any col
lege. One suggestion seemed to be
prevalent among most of the stu
dents. They suggested that a course
be offered which would attempt to
increase the students' vocabulary,
his knowledge of the origin of
words, and methods for improving
spelling. A final suggestion was
made that the course be given un
der the guidance of Dr. Furnas-
Other students would welcome a
course in journalism taught by
Pete Moore. Pete has taught the
course in the past, and members of
his class were pleased with the re
sults. Many students are entering
some form of community or religi
ous service occupation and would
benefit from the type of recrea
tional course Miss Reynolds taught
a few years ago.
