Sunken Lounge, Campus Dining Center

Video: Watch Dean Philip Bean discuss the display and the history assocated with it.

An illustrated display on the transformation of a small college once dedicated to the education solely of white men to one marked by proportionally more diversity than all but a few American liberal arts colleges. Covering 150 years of Haverford history, "Get Off the Dime and Deal" discusses the College's earliest students of color, the inclusion of whites who did not come from well-established higher economic status American Protestant families, debates within the College and Quaker communities over social justice, the growth of racial diversity in the late 1960s and 1970s, early struggles to forge greater inclusivity, and the debates over the admission of women to the College.
