Remembering
Quaker
Susan Mers
Staff Writer
Guilford College was estab
lished by the Religious Society of
Friends in 1837. There is little
doubt that the vast majority of
Guilford's student population is
well aware of Guilford's history as
a Quaker school. But how much
do students know about the Reli
gious Society of Friends and the
ideals the Quaker faith is based on?
It is important for Guilford stu
dents to be knowlegeable about
Quakerism, because its religious
history is what makes Guilford dif
ferent from most of the other small,
private liberal arts colleges in the
country.
I am a Quaker, and one of the
main reasons I chose Guilford is
because it is a Quaker school. I
knew that if I went to Guilford I
would be able to get a quality edu
cation in a nuturing and close com
munity. The Quaker background
of Guilford influences more as
pects of the school's community

with which one can brush One's
teeth with pure urban decay and
and philosphy than a lot of students
realize. It is imperative that stu
dents be aware of the practices and
beliefs of the Religious Society of
Friends so that they may better un
derstand the school.
In order to understand the phi
losophy and community of Guil
ford, it is vital to understand the
ideals of Quakerism. The Reli
gious Society of Friends is based
on the values of social equality,
justice, education, peace and sim
plicity. These ideals are firmly
rooted in Guilford and influence
the way the school operates. De
cisions are made in student and
faculty oiganizations through con
sensus, the decision-making pro
cess essential to Quakers. The
solid relationship between student
and faculty and students them
selves is a by-product of Quaker
emphasis on social equality. Many
professors at Guilford even begin
each class with a moment of si
lence. Silence is the traditional
form of worship for Friends.
Also, as Quaker student Alex
Kern said, "It is important to un

derstand the history of the school
in order to understand in what di
rection the school is headed." The
challenges Guilford may face in
future years can be more easily
tackled if students and faculty are
aware of the school's past.
Guilford's roots lie in Quakerism,
and we can seek insight in solving
problems by examining the
Quaker ideals on which the school
is founded.
Ideally, there should be a healthy
balance of initiative between stu
dents and the school. Progress has
been made over the past few years
in raising awareness on campus
about Quakerism. Campus Min
istries and Friends Center are ser
vices on campus that provide in
formation and programs on Quak
erism. There is also a widely at
tended Quaker Concerns group
that meets weekly on campus.
Guilford students should be more
aware and interested in Quaker
ism, and the school should con
tinue to provide outlets for this in

Some people think that the need
for feminism ended with the be
ginning of the Nineties, but this is
not so. More appropriately, our
Mothers' feminism has brought us
to where we are, and it is our turn
to pick up the journey of Women's
Liberation. Women of Generation
X, this column is for you.
But what is there left for us to
do? Be aware, the doini is in the
voicing. Know that now is not the
time to return to ilence or pacifi
cation. This reality was not sim
ply handed over to men oy a maie
god who created women almost as
an afterthought, but rather was cre
ated for their purposes, and our
subsequent demise.
Be aware of womens' history
that pre-dates the Christian era.
