It was an act of self-denial and devotion. Providing faculty and students with facilities and endowment to foster learning is a generational challenge. Instruction in science becomes more complex and expensive. Theaters, dining halls and gymnasia become outmoded or outgrown. Endowed professorships must keep pace with the numbers and amounts needed to attract and retain the best faculty.
Students face rising costs.
Guilfordians of each generation, at their time in History, have taken up their challenge and left the college as a gift to their successors. We now join them as the inheritors of their vision.
