So the fact that a large minority of students are Jewish is significant the fact that is was founded as a women s college is significant but the fact that it was founded as a Christian college is not You can t be serious Actually Goucher College was founded by Rev Goucher not just as a Christian women s college but as a Christian women s seminary chartered by the state of Maryland Why is it even considered significant that a large minority of students at this former purely Christian purely female institution are Jewish Was Goucher College converted into a Jewish institution No Does the presence of an active Hillel organization make it a Jewish institution Hardly In fact I think it would be fair to conclude that the heritage of the majority of Goucher college s students is Christian Is it not bad enough that the goyem are not made to feel welcome in the Hillel House dining area The entryway to the original structure still in active use today includes passages from the bible written in Latin not surprising because this was not just a Christian institution but a Methodist Episcopalian one which like the Catholic church commonly used Latin as part of its liturgy So the historical treatment of heritage of Goucher College which bears the name of the man who actually founded Goucher with its use as a Christian college squarely in mind is still supposed to be eradicated The plurality of University of California students are Asian Does that make UC an Asian school No Goucher College is now non sectarian yet it is to be identified now as a Jewish institution The only religion which Goucher has ever been officially affiliated with is the religion of the college as it was originally founded Christian That is the school s heritage and it can not and should not be scoured away
