{WeQuaMmj HISTOKV OF GUILFORD COLLEGE INCl ' , till ' lii iiiiiiiig (if tlif Society of Frii-iu!s. an outfrrowth of the doc- triiirs .ind teacliings of (icorge Fox. it has vwv hctn an outstanding c-onii 111 of Friends that the youtli in their midst should have all the intages and benefits pertaining to tile develo|Mnent and gr( th of tlie mental and spiritual being. The Quakers of North Carolina were e.specially intereste l and intent upon the estahlishnient of a Friends ' Boarding School. After iiiiuh c(Uisistent effort (in the part of .a nuniher of I ' ' riends, New Clarden Boarding .School w.as opened the first of the Eighth month. l,s:!7. with an enroll- ment of fifty, twenty-five hoys .and twenty-five girls. The existene( of the Ho.irding School covers a |)eriod of fifty-two years, during which time m.my li.ardships were encountered, diicf among wliidi were fires and lack of finance. Hut despite these difficulties the institutio n continued to grow under the leadcrslii|i of t( .leliers (d ' eminent scholarship and of firm influential character, outstanding .inioiig whom are Dr. Nereus Mendenhall and Professor A. Marshall Elliott. In ISS.-,. ,as .-i (•(,nse(|uence of ,a fire which destroyed King II.ill. Archdale Hall w;is erected and ,i new King H.dl was built on the site of the old one. By this time the need for extending the course of study, enlarging the faculty, and increa.sing the endowment was greatly in demand. Work was begun, a new charter being dr.-iwn uji by Dock Benbow and ,1. N ' an Lindby and presented to the Board, and in ISSS New (i.irden Boarding School became (iuilford College. Since the school lucame a college, the equipment has been greatly increased. In 1897, as a result of a gift of ten thousand dollars by James B. and B. N. Duke, of Durham, Memorial Hall was erected in memory of th eir sister, Mrs. Mary Eliza- beth Lyon. Through the efforts of the women of North Carolina Yearly Meeting. New Garden Hall, a dormitory for girls, was built in 1!)07. In 191.3, Cox Hall, a new dormitory for boys, w.is er( cted. In ISiOH. ,i new I.ibr.iry, which is the pride of every Guilfordian, was built. The same year, as a result of a second fire, a third King Hall was erected for class rooms and laboratories for the departments of Physics and Home Economics. Founders ' Hall was also remodeled. By the iiersisteiit work of the Bo.ard of Trustees .-md President H.-iymond Binford. the endowment has been increased to five hundred and fifty thousand dollars. On account of this increased endowment and the standing of the College as an institution of higher learning, Guilford College was admitted on December 3. 1926, as a mem- ber of the Southern Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, a step which carried the one-time Friends ' little Boarding School into the realm of National recog- ' nition.
