October 13, 1979 5 Statement of Purpose for Haverford College Haverford College seeks to prepare men and women for lives of service, responsibility, creativity and joy, both during and after college. The College shares with other liberal arts colleges of academic excellence: a commitment to open inquiry by both its students and faculty, com­ bined with rigorous appraisal and use of the results of that inquiry; an emphasis on a broad education in the natural and social sciences, the humanities and the arts, combined with strong competence in at least one field of the student's choosing; an educational program that aims more at preparing persons to think and act clearly, boldly and humanely in whatever life work they choose than at training for specific professional careers. The College's distinctive character comes from its striving for: candor, simplicity, joy and moral integrity in the whole of college life in keeping with Haverford's Quaker traditions•; a harmony for each person among his or her intellectual, physical, social, esthetic and spiritual concerns; a creative use of smallness that places students in the closest contact with dedicated scholars in the pursuit of knowledge; a sense of community marked by a lasting concern of one person for another and by shared responsibilities for helping the College achieve its highest aims; a system of responsible self-government in the student body and in the faculty; a balance for students and faculty between disciplined involvement in the world of action and detachment to reflect on new and old knowledge alike. In sum, the College seeks to be measured, above all, by the uses to which its students, graduates and faculty put their knowledge, their humanity, their initiative and their individuality. • In 1976 the Board of Managers adopted a detailed reassessment of the College's Quaker foundations which says, in part, "A prime focus of Quaker education is on the value and uniqueness of each individual student, where each is seen worthy of patient personal attention, where each contributes to, and draws sustenance from, the group in distinctive ways. The College must take care to ensure that its students continue to feel part of a small and caring community ... Haverford is different from other liberal arts colleges of academic distinction-a difference that is continually confirmed in the dedication of its faculty and staff and in the extraordinary loyalty of its alumni. It is expressed in the openness and candor of discussions on budgets, in the close relationships that develop among faculty, administration, staff and students, in the community's response to human crises, in its caring for the land and trees. It is above all here, in the daily round of college life, that Haverford nurtures the
