C. Boyden Gray, the speaker for
the Websterian Pre-Law Society's
annual dinner, Friday, April 15th,
has been described by the
Society's current secretary, Chris
topher Behm, as possibly being
their "most distinguished speaker."
According to Behm, the Society
had been looking as far back as fall
to get him to speak. The Society's
vice president, Alex Struving, fi
nally obtained his address, wrote
to him, and then received a call
from his secretary.
Behm describes the Society as
being "really glad to have him,"
and expects a very good turnout,
possibly even some media atten
tion.
Mr. C. Boyden Gray has been a
Guilford College, Greensboro, N.C.
public servant for a long time and
has held various positions. He is a
magna cum laude graduate of
Harvard with a B A in history, was
first in his class at UNC Chapel
Hill law school, clerked for U.S.
Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl
Warren, and has worked with and
now works with a Washington,
D.C. law firm, Wilmer, Cutler, &
Pickering.
But, as Behm put it, "his biggest
claim to fame," is most likely his
work with both the Reagan and
Bush administrations.
In 1981, according to Struving,
Gray was legal counselor to Vice-
President George Bush, and in
1988 was the director of the office
of transition council for the Bush
transition team, which helped to
move the new president into office
after the election.
In 1989 he was counsel to Presi
dent Bush. Behm adds that he was
Four administrators,
36 years of experience
leaving Guilford

Four Guilford College employ
ees with over 36 years of experi
ence have either left Guilford ear
lier this year or will be leaving by
the end of the semester.
Bill Scott, former director of
landscaping and grounds, worked
at Guilford from September 17,
1979 - February 14, 1994; Larry
West, former director of admis
sions, worked at Guilford from
November 14, 1985 - May 31,
1994; Lillian Lyndrup, former di
rector of the parent and grandpar
ents program, worked at Guilford
from January 6, 1987 - February
23,1994; and John Farmer, former
director of planned giving, worked
at Guilford from August 11, 1988
- February 16, 1994.
It is the administration's official
policy not to comment on indi
vidual personal activities. "Differ
ent people leave for different rea
son," Provost Dan Poteet said. "I
simply cannot comment."
Scott had worked at Guilford for
also chairman of the Regulatory
Relief Committee.
Gray will be coming to Guilford
for only one night to speak at the
dinner, with only his travel ex
penses being covered. He currently
is working for a law firm, and
though he "handles a large range"
of subjects, according to Struving,
he has "emphasis...on environ
mental issues, trade, and manage
ment of risk."
The turnout is expected to be
good. Behm says Gray will "ad
dress a wide range of subjects, re
spond to questions of policies and
decisions of the Reagan and Bush
administrations..."
He also added that tickets are
$7.50 and anyone can call him or
Struving to get a seat. The recep
tion for Gray will be in Boren
Lounge at 6:00 pm, April 15th,
with the dinner then at 7:00.
Struving expects that he will

fifteen years, and was partially re
sponsible for the commemorative
Sesquicentennial Garden. "It
seems that the desire to change
people by moving older employ
ees out is being done with a lot less
conscience." Scott said. "All of a
sudden you understand you can
love an institution and realize that
the institution does not love you."
Scott said that these recent cut
backs were done under the guise
of cost cutting and will become
self-defeating. He said Guilford
will be losing experienced employ
ees who have built up a loyalty to
Guilford, only to replace them with
workers who will probably see the
college more as a stepping stone
for their careers.
"Guilford has become an insti
tution that is operating as a busi
ness, but there are other costs in
the loss of experience and loyalty."
Scott said.
Farmer worked at Guilford for
approximately five and a half
years. "I did not want to leave
Guilford...but it was not up to me."

to the presidencies, but isn't sure.
There are a limited amount of tick
ets, and any "remaining tickets"
will be sold Monday in Founders.
Behm estimates around 50 avail
able seats.
The Websterian Pre-Law Soci
ety, a Guilford organization for stu
dents with an interest, or possible
career interest in law, has several
speakers every year.
Behm says this one was "the top
lawyer in the United States for four
years," and expects him to do a
good job.
While Struving describes him as
generally being "very conservative
in his views," she also says that this
"shouldn't stop people from com
ing" and that he will be "answer
ing questions" as well.
