Ab .ir courage and their etan? for the right, in defense of our state anc our nation, we fai
thor Bf we do mot also meet with courage and patriotian the dangerous activities now oceurr
.* mur very micst. Hust we keer our eyes shut and our pocketbooks open to projects fostere
u Cer the beavtiful names of education and religion, mo setter by whor, ar how sponsored or
fun?
If Greensbore cititers are going to be calle? upon to contribute to the building of
colleges in this vicinity we should have 2 better choice than is now afforded us. Our leade
should more seriously consizer the beginning of a real Cormunity College, a oew one pattern
after those now opereting ir Asheville, Charlotte and Wilmington. Greensboro College is nc
“operating es a co-educational institution, is loceted in the heart of the city and might it
be the instrument we nee? to foster and build upon, Womans College of the University might
even be developed along lines co-educational an? with special emphasis on local needs. we
divorce Greensboro Division of Guilford College and run it independently. .
Some will say we already have what we need in Guilford College. I heartily disagree.
We do not need them. We need a red-blooded Auerican institution. I heve no objection to t
Quakers doing their own building, although T disagree heartily with their racial teachings
their attitudes toward the interne] and external defense of our beautiful land, Let ther on
their own. Why should the rest of us aid in our own destruction? If everyone else had the
attitude, there would be no Free America today for them te practice their religion and subx
sive activities. ‘would you want anyone to discourage your sons from defending their countz
in the armed services if need be? Or have your children taught by persons, however Jearnec
whe believe in inter-mzrriage of the races and whe conscientiously object to service in the
&rmed forces in defense of our country?
Quaker activities bave been sc unattractive to red-blooded fmericans that there has
De noticeable gain in their numbers of members in the twentieth century. It is one of the
oldest yet one of the smllest in numbers of all the various denominations in America. Why
should we help them put life ir what many of the Qurkers themselves consider a dying sect?
should we help them sprea¢ their anti-‘mericar influence?
Ip 1956 it wes again revealed to the public and especially te our patriotic business
the nature of the notorious activities of the discredited American Friends Service Committe
right here in Guilford County.
At was mot sc well known wes the proud claim of C.S. Fee;
a conscientious objector an? associate professor of philesophy at Guilford College, that th
college had 2 very close relationship with American Friends Service Comittee and was trair
its leaders, Cuilford College has furnished three chairmen of the 4FSC Soutbeasterm Negior
Office who are (quote) intimtely connected with Guilford College ~ one es the highest-rank
member of the (college) borréd of trustees, one as the highest-ranking momber of the adnini:
