Guilford College Catalog 2018-19 page 1 of 233 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT Dear Students: On assuming the presidency of Guilford College, I was thrilled to become part of a campus community of authentic, brilliant, dedicated and enthusiastic people. I invite you to join us. As our Strategic Plan lays out, we work together to afford “a transformative, practical and excellent liberal arts education that produces critical thinkers in an inclusive, diverse environment.” We are guided in this mission “by Quaker testimonies of community, equality, integrity, peace and simplicity.” Finally, a Guilford education emphasizes “the creative problem-solving skills, experience, enthusiasm and international perspectives necessary to promote positive change in the world.” Our Quaker heritage and longstanding commitments to undergraduate teaching, social justice and seven Core Values set Guilford apart from other small liberal arts colleges. These Core Values—community, diversity, equality, excellence, integrity, justice and stewardship—infuse every aspect of life and work on campus, how we interact with each other and how we relate to the surrounding community and environment. Guilford is a “making a difference” college and one that has been “changing lives” for over 175 years. Students come here to get equipped to make a positive difference in the world. We consciously foster this learning with a primary emphasis on teaching. An outstanding faculty strives for excellence in teaching and creating a mentoring relationship with students. Indeed, students and alumni often cite the quality of the student-teacher connection as a key factor in their choosing to come here and in remaining devoted to their alma mater. Another distinction of the Guilford experience is our longstanding commitment to principled problem solving, through which students learn to contribute creative solutions to real-life problems in the local, national and world community in which we live. Excellence in teaching, principled problem solving, and an emphasis on experiential and interdisciplinary learning all combine to make a Guilford education one based on practical liberal arts. Since its founding in 1837, the College has been transforming lives and making a positive difference in the world. I encourage you to consider whether Guilford would be a good fit for you. Exploring our website, guilford.edu, or speaking with a representative of our Office of Admission or Continuing Education will help inform your decision. I wish you success in finding the college that suits you best, and should it be Guilford, I look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful campus and vibrant community. Sincerely, Jane Kelleher Fernandes Page 2 of 233 Guilford College Catalog 2018-19 Guilford College STATEMENT OF PURPOSE adopted by the Guilford College Faculty and Board of Trustees, 1985 Guilford College is an educational community which strives to integrate personal, intellectual, physical and spiritual growth through participation in several rich traditions. These traditions include liberal arts education which values academic excellence and stresses the need in a free society for mature, broadly educated men and women; career development and community service, which provide students, whatever their age or place in life, with knowledge and skills applicable to their chosen vocations; and Quakerism, which places special emphasis on helping individuals to examine and strengthen their values. We believe that the wise and humane use of knowledge requires commitment to society as well as to self. The Quaker heritage stresses spiritual receptivity, candor, integrity, compassion, tolerance, simplicity, equality, and strong concern for social justice and world peace. Growing out of this heritage the College emphasizes educational values which are embodied in a strong and lasting tradition of coeducation, a curriculum with intercultural and international dimensions, close individual relationships between students and faculty in the pursuit of knowledge, governance by consensus, and a commitment to lifelong learning. Guilford expects each student to develop a broad understanding of our intellectual and social heritage, and at the same time to develop a special competence in one or more disciplines. Flexibility in the curriculum encourages each student to pursue a program of studies suited to personal needs, skills and aspirations. While accepting many traditional educational goals and methods, the College also promotes innovative approaches to teaching and learning. Both students and faculty are encouraged to pursue high levels of scholarly research and creativity in all academic disciplines. Guilford particularly seeks to explore interdisciplinary and intercultural perspectives and to develop a capacity to reason effectively, to look beneath the surface of issues, to understand the presuppositions and implications of ideas, and to draw conclusions incisively, critically and with fairness to other points of view. The College desires to have a “community of seekers,” individuals dedicated to shared and corporate search as an important part of their lives. Such a community can come about only when there is diversity throughout the institution – a diversity of older and younger perspectives, a diversity of racial and cultural backgrounds, a diversity of beliefs and value orientations. Through experiencing such differing points of view, we seek to free ourselves from bias. As a community, Guilford strives to address questions of moral responsibility, to explore issues which are deeply felt but difficult to articulate, and to support modes of personal fulfillment. The College seeks to cultivate respect for all individuals in an environment where considered convictions, purposes and aspirations can be carried forward.

INTRODUCTION TO GUILFORD COLLEGE MISSION Guilford’s purpose is to provide a transformative, practical and excellent liberal arts education that produces critical thinkers in an inclusive, diverse environment, guided by Quaker testimonies of community, equality, integrity, peace and simplicity and emphasizing the creative problem-solving skills, experience, enthusiasm and international perspectives necessary to promote positive change in the world. Toward that end the College provides: • student-centered instruction that nurtures each individual amid an intentionally diverse community; • a challenging academic program that fosters critical and creative thinking through the development of essential skills: analysis, inquiry, communication, consensus-building, problem-solving and leadership; • a global perspective that values people of other cultures and the natural environment in which we all live; • a values-rich education that explores the ethical dimension of knowledge and promotes honesty, compassion, integrity, courage and respect for the individual; • access to work and service opportunities that forge a connection between thought and action. Guilford seeks above all to create a special kind of learning community. We are not perfect at this. Our goal of creating independent thinkers and change agents necessarily pulls against the needs of community, and our great diversity of backgrounds sometimes works against our professed acceptance and equal respect for all individuals. We are as a community at

  • Explorations of the Painted Real
    EXPLORATIONS OF THE PAINTED REAL: TECHNOLOGICAL MEDIATION IN THE WORK OF FOUR ARTISTS. By Gina Margareta Heyer Thesis presented inpartial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Visual Arts at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Dr. Stella Viljoen (thesis) Co-supervisor: Mr. Vivian H. van der Merwe (practical) March 2011 Declaration By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. 2 March 2011 Copyright © 2011 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Abstract This thesis is an investigation into the relationship between photorealistic painting and specific devices used to aid the artist in mediating the real. The term 'reality' is negotiated and a hybrid theoretical approach to photorealism, including mimesis and semiotics, is suggested. Through careful analysis of Vermeer's suspected use of the camera obscura, I argue that camera vision already started in the 17th century, thus signalling the dramatic shift from the classical Cartesian perspective scopic regime to the model of vision offered by the camera long before the advent of photography. I suggest that contemporary photorealist painters do not just merely and objectively copy, but use photographic source material with a sophisticated awareness in response to a rapidly changing world. Through an examination of the way in which the camera obscura and photographic camera are used in the works of four artists, I suggest that a symbiotic relationship of subtle tensions between painting and photographic technology emerges.

  • Robert Bechtle Oral History Transcript
    San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Regional Oral History Office 75th Anniversary The Bancroft Library Oral History Project University of California, Berkeley SFMOMA 75th Anniversary ROBERT BECHTLE Painter Professor of Art, San Francisco State University, 1978-1999 SFMOMA Board of Trustees, 2006-2009 Interview conducted by Jess Rigelhaupt in 2007 Copyright © 2008 by San Francisco Museum of Modern Art Funding for the Oral History Project provided in part by Koret Foundation. ii Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the nation. Oral History is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is bound with photographs and illustrative materials and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ********************************* All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and Robert Bechtle, dated October 22, 2007. This manuscript is made available for research purposes.

  • Robert Bechtle: New Work
    NEW WORK SAN FRANCISCO MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ROBERT BECHTLE : NEW WORK SEPTEMBER 10 - DECEMBER 1, 1991 Born in San Francisco in 1932, Robert Bechtle studied at the California College of Arts and Crafts in Oakland, and since 1968 has taught painting at San Francisco State University. In the late sixties and early seventies, when Bechtle became well-known nationally, his work was usually seen together with that of Richard Estes, Chuck Close, and Malcolm Morley, among others, as representing a new style called Photo Realism or New Realism. Although the relationship of Bechtle's work to photography was evident and much remarked upon, critical discussion generally centered on its subject matter-ordinary views of suburban streets and houses, occasionally with their inhabitants-and the artist's resolute avoidance of the heroic stance associated with Abstract Expressionism.1 Yet Bechtle, more than the other Photo Realim, chose to paint a particular kind of photograph, the ordinarysnapshot­ of his family, for example, posed in front of a station wagon. His choice was no accident, as he explained at the time: "When I'm photographing a car in front of a house I try to keep in mind what a real estate photographer would do if he were taking a picture of the house and try for that quality." 2 Other Photo Realists. to be sure, made paintings from photographs that could have been snapshots. But in the paintings themselves, only Bechtle's had the atmosphere of ordinary, family photographs because he purposely avoided the virtuoso effects that for the most part characterized the work of his colleagues.
