Paternalism At Guilford
By JEAN PARVIN
The venerable old man leaned
back in his plush office chair and
spoke about Guilford College.
He should know about the
school since he is Robert
Frazier, chairman of the Board
of Trustees. Frazier, 75, is a
prominent Greensboro lawyer,
and also the president of the
Board of Trustees at A&T
University.
Why is Frazier interested in
Guilford? He went to Guilford,
his father was a member of its
Board of Trustees, and his
great-grandfather was a founder
of Guilford. To him, Guilford is
outstanding because it is small
and this allows a close
communication between faculty
and students. The faculty, he
says, are men dedicated to giving
students a whole character.
