McNemar on Friday, October 11 to be. The
inauguration is intended to celebrate
Guilford College, the traditions of the col

the college ever made," said Soenksen.
The decision, announced last year, made
Donald W. McNemar the seventh president
of Guilford College. Don and his wife,
Britta, who came to the college from Phillips
Andover Academy, were central in the plan

spring, "has made valiant efforts to be clear
with all aspects of the inner and outer com
munities that (Guilford College) interacts
with that everyone is welcome and wanted
during this inauguration," said Kelly Davis.

weekend, the event promises to include
alumni as well. "This date offered (the
Board) the opportunity to invite alumni from
all of the classes up to the Class of 2000 to
be present in the march of delegates during
