to understand one another? I cannot refrain from saying something else — something I feel very deeply. I strongly believe that the members of this community are quite a bit different from those found many places. Former teachers, alumnae, former administrators, and others attest to this difference. Perhaps the quality of the people and of the relationships they develop is the most impor- tant requisite in the es- tablishment of harmony and good will. LOTUS: Each year Peace is faced with new girls who bring with them not only new clothes, but also newer and perhaps less restrictive values than Peace. What is your policy for handling the different viewpoints so that they do not conflict with the values of Peace? Frazier: That question is very much like the one you asked me about individu- ality. Some of the state- ments I made in reply to that question might be a partial answer to this one. Also, I think it is ap- propriate to say that we are looking for a special kind of girl to enroll at Peace — not just any girl who can meet the admis- sions standards. We try in every way possible to let the prospective student know what we stand for and to inform her of the type school we are. At the same time, we all know that we are living in a 20th Century society, and this society is changing very rapidly. Obviously, Peace College will change as our society changes, but I believe that Peace will always take a firm stand on issues which are basic to the Christian and the American ways of life. (And I did not necessarily intend to equate those two.) Let me say, too, that a conflict of values is not unique to our own com- munity, for every segment of our society wrestles with disagreement over value structures. In fact, I would expect that no- where is the conflict deeper and more divisive than it is in the Christian church. Even in very fine homes, between very sincere husbands and wives, there are frequently serious disagreements on what is right and what is wrong. As a part of the rapidly changing society of the 20th century, we can- not expect to be immune from this and other conflicts which persist in all generations and in all institutions. LOTUS: The role of women is going through a change in all facets of life, so much so that demands are being placed upon her that never were before and the positions she must fill are increasing. Yet, in the face of this Peace remains staid in her training of young women. How does the unchanging prepara- tion that Peace gives her girls enable them to face these new roles? Frazier: I will accept the premise that Peace re- mains staid in her train- ing of young women — for staid means the opposite of frivolous. But I am afraid I cannot accept the proposition that we are unchanging . If there are any courses in the curricu- lum that are really rele- vant, I believe they are some of those which have been added within the last three years. If there is a junior college faculty any- where in the region which knows what is going on out in the world, I be- lieve it is the Peace Col- lege faculty. If there is a college anywhere whose spirit has been raised while its face was being lifted, then I believe it is Peace College. Now I would say again that Peace is not frivo- lous, so we might be a little slower in experiment- ing and innovating than some other colleges. I am sure, though, that Peace will always be ready to adapt new methods, new styles, and new programs as their merits are demon- strated, but never in a capricious manner. Your education is too important for that, and we take your education seriously. 19
