This set of October 21, 1955 articles in the Guilford College student newspaper, The Guilfordian, report on the range of international students and faculty at the college. Nineteen international students hailed from nearly as many nations around the world. Professors also offered glimpses of other cultures. Having this sort of international presence on campus was integral to college's efforts to build diversity, however, there were still no African American students enrolled at Guilford at this time.
