Named for the Milners, Clyde Milner came to Guilford in 1930 to teach Philosophy and was Dean of the College from 1930 to 1934. He then became the fourth President of the College and served for more than 30 years. His wife, Ernestine Milner, was a member of the faculty and administration and served as Dean of Women. The Milners were a beloved campus fixture for a generation of Guilfordians until 1965.
