Guilford College Catalog 2019-20 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 2019-20 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.

  • Chord Names and Symbols (Popular Music) from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    Chord names and symbols (popular music) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Various kinds of chord names and symbols are used in different contexts, to represent musical chords. In most genres of popular music, including jazz, pop, and rock, a chord name and the corresponding symbol are typically composed of one or more of the following parts: 1. The root note (e.g. C). CΔ7, or major seventh chord 2. The chord quality (e.g. major, maj, or M). on C Play . 3. The number of an interval (e.g. seventh, or 7), or less often its full name or symbol (e.g. major seventh, maj7, or M7). 4. The altered fifth (e.g. sharp five, or ♯5). 5. An additional interval number (e.g. add 13 or add13), in added tone chords. For instance, the name C augmented seventh, and the corresponding symbol Caug7, or C+7, are both composed of parts 1, 2, and 3. Except for the root, these parts do not refer to the notes which form the chord, but to the intervals they form with respect to the root. For instance, Caug7 indicates a chord formed by the notes C-E-G♯-B♭. The three parts of the symbol (C, aug, and 7) refer to the root C, the augmented (fifth) interval from C to G♯, and the (minor) seventh interval from C to B♭. A set of decoding rules is applied to deduce the missing information. Although they are used occasionally in classical music, these names and symbols are "universally used in jazz and popular music",[1] usually inside lead sheets, fake books, and chord charts, to specify the harmony of compositions.

  • Musician Transformation Training
    Musician Transformation Training “SONG SOLIDITY” This training will cover key techniques and insights that will ensure you get the most out of the “Song Station” program, which covers Song Solidity concepts. Every strategy you’ve learned so far leads to “song mastery” and by learning the principles herein, you’ll speed up the process it takes to pick up any song. From melody and bass determination to passing chords and key signature identification, this resource will equip you with the knowledge to grasp it all! -Pg 1- © 2010. HearandPlay.com. All Rights Reserved Introduction In this guide, we’ll start by discussing techniques and strategies that will help you find the key of any song quickly. Then we’ll turn to melody and bass pattern determination. We’ll review diatonic chords (which should be your first option after finding the bass), and end by covering passing chords and other nuances you’ll find in songs. Common Problems 1. Not knowing how to find the key of a song: You can know all your scales, the number system, basic and advanced chords, and even patterns... but if you can’t find the key of a song quickly, none of that will matter when it comes to playing by ear . Finding the key is like the battery in your car. You can have the best engine, the best anti-lock braking system, hundreds of horsepower, and every amenity under the sun... but if your car won’t start, all that stuff is useless. Finding the key to a song gives you a reference point to apply all the stuff you’ve learned to..

  • Regional Networks of Knowledge in Eastern Asia Interrupted Histories
    Available online at www.sciencedirect.com Procedia Social and Behavioral Sciences 2 (2010) 7479–7485 Selected Papers of Beijing Forum 2004 Regional Networks of Knowledge in Eastern Asia Interrupted Histories Anthony Reid Professor, Asia Research Institute, NUS, Singapore Eastern Asia has suffered more than most regions from the mutual incomprehensions that stem from differences of language, civilization, history and memory. It has often seemed in the era of relative peace since 1980 that contacts were being made for the first time, and that the painful construction of ASEAN and its regional dialogue partnerships were processes of new discovery. Of course this is an exaggerated view. There is a story to be told both for Southeast Asia and for the broader region of eastern Asia of attempts to see the collectivity of these regions and to organise networks within them. This paper will focus primarily on networks of knowledge rather than networks of power. The relations between governments in eastern Asia have been heavy with inequalities, and frequently poisoned by war and domination. That story is moreover well known, albeit in a variety of contested national versions. More interesting for our purposes is the story of networks of scholarship, through academic publications and structures in the twentieth century though more often religious contacts before that. Perhaps partly through my own bias as a Southeast Asianist, it appears to me that the story of these non- government networks of knowledge parallels in some ways the story of ASEAN + three in recent times. So dominant were the power relations and rivalries of Northeast Asia that the more successful informal networks of knowledge often arose in Southeast Asia and spread north and east.

  • Churches and Missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990)
    Early nineteenth-century foundations of Christianity in Malaya: Churches and missions in Penang, Melaka and Singapore from 1786-1842 John Roxborogh (1990) 1. INTRODUCTION Today Christianity in Malaysia and Singapore seeks an identity which is true to its own energy and cultures at the same time as it is conscious of its participation in a universal faith. It is also important that it be aware of its own history. While associations with the British period have now faded, it remains nevertheless an era worthy of study, just as the nature of that association still requires examination. The years between the arrival of the British in Penang and the signing of the Treaty of Nanking cover a time when British interests in the region developed but did not yet extend beyond the Straits Settlements. It was no accident that this was also a period of Christian expansion, yet the links were on the whole indirect. For the churches, it was a time when if seldom at government direction, then at least under a British umbrella, a new influx of missionary interest both took root and lost impetus. Such an influx was not to be repeated until later in the century and again in the 1950s, and in any case much of the core of modern Christianity in the end derives as much from migrant Christian communities as from the work of missionaries in Malaya. Nevertheless the diversification and growth of the church during the early 19th century was not insignificant. What began as a sleepy community of Catholic Portuguese, over a period of 60 years came to encompass other races and at least some other denominations.

It is through his help that I was able to develop my inclination to research the history of the Archdiocese of Singapore into a coherent academic thesis. I would also like to thank my family and friends whose support helped me through the trials that I faced as I worked towards producing this thesis. They have served, without complaint, as sounding boards for my ideas and, when the stress became too much, as patient listeners when I felt the need to vent my frustrations. I am very grateful for their patience. My gratitude extends to my interviewees as well. Many of them made time for me in their busy schedules so as to allow me to interview them. Many of them also provided me access to documents that I would have otherwise been unable to acquire—for that they have my thanks. Lastly, I would like to extend my appreciation to all the institutions, which granted me access to their archives to facilitate my research.

  • Liveprompter Manual (En).Pdf
    LivePrompter Manual 1. What is LivePrompter? LivePrompter is essentially a Teleprompter designed specifically for musicians. It displays lyrics and chords for a song on screen and automatically scrolls through the song, so that it always displays the current part of the song. Being designed for live musicians, LivePrompter incorporates some special features: Its file format is based on the “ChordPro” format, which allows very easy entry of chords in song lyrics. Also, there is already a large pool of ChordPro files available on the Web, which you can use with LivePrompter Songs can be organized in “books” (music collections) and set lists LivePrompter is very easy to operate – in live operation, you mostly need only one key (or foot switch) to control the program. The program is also built to be easily operated with touch screens or tablet PCs. Scrolling through songs can be controlled very precisely via timer markers within the song text Songs can be transposed easily via “transpose” and “capo” functions. In transposing, LivePrompter always attempts to interpret chords in a harmonically meaningful way. LivePrompter can connect via MIDI to other software or to MIDI devices in order to trigger sound changes, to set up lighting or even just to synchronize multiple LivePrompter machines The input files for LivePrompter are simple textfiles (extension “.txt”) which contain lyrics, chords, and metadata – sorry, no graphics or PDF documents, so no score display. But you can use tab or drum notation in text format. LivePrompter has been developed for the Windows platform – unfortunately no Mac, Unix, Android or iOS version at present.
