OUR THEME J GUILFORD is a Quaker collr r iinnunscly proud of its luritaMf. Somt-thing of till ' beauty anil uniqurucss of tlir (Quaker tradition will he f ound mirrored in tliis volume. In the attempt to earry out tliis theme we toueh upon the lives of two of the most outstandiiii; figures in tile history of Quakerism, (uan-ge Fox and William Penn, ' rhc former w.is the f(uiudir of (Quakerism while flu- l;itter was the uuist famous of his early followers. The t.ilile of contents, the eh.-iraeteristie lines f(uiiul li.-ne.-ith the senior ])ietures. and flu- deseri])tive lines in the .Sponsor section .ire in the words of (leorge Fox which were taken from his J mi mill . The division jiages he.-ir ])en dr.iwings t.aken from incidents in the life of ■illi,■lm Penn; a ch;iracteriz;ition of each m;iv he found heiieath the respeeti f |)ietures. The Hy-le.it ])ages ,ire .also pen dr.-iwings of the t.-imiuis scene known in history as ' T ' enn ' s Tn aty with the Indians. ■] ' he borders ret.iin .•. toueh of the spirit i f the Friends. The silh.mette of the m.iid is th.it of Hann.ih Hunt, who w,is the first girl to .attend Wcsttown Boarding .School located near Phil.ulelphi.a. The silhouette of the m.an is typie.il of Quaker men of .an earlier d,iy. In the lower jiart of the bonier is found .1 sm.ill insert of the New (harden Meeting House ,as it .ip])e;ired in 17. )1. Quaker dress of the ITfh century rem.ains more or less .1 lairiosity. The bro.ad l)rimmed h.ats .as obser ed in the i)ietures to follow .are eh.ir.acteristie of their dress. It was also :i custom to we;ir them while at .Meeting and in the house if so desired. As (Jeorge I ' ' ox s.aid in his Jniiniiil, .M ire (r. when the I.oril sent me into the world, he forb.ade me to |)ut off my li.at to ;iny. high or low. Roughly speaking, the short trousi rs wire from .an e.irlii r period of (Quakerism, while the longer came l.-iter. The women were uiodistly .attired in tliiar long h.iiulwcn in dresses, full skirts, sh.iwls. .and c.ips. The e.ip w.is worn in the house and the bonnet when going to meeting or out of dmu-s. Often the e.ap w.as worn beneath the bonnet so that it could be taken off while in the house.
