In Memory
Following a short illness, Giles Wayland-Smith died at home in Oneida, N.Y., on Oct. 28, surrounded by his family. He had turned 81 the month before and had celebrated his 51st wedding anniversary with Kate Wayland-Smith that summer.
When Giles graduated from Amherst, his father, Robert Wayland-Smith, was treasurer and vice president of silverware manufacturer Oneida Limited. After his father’s retirement, Giles was tapped to take his place in the family firm. However, Giles had different ambitions. Oneida Limited traced its unlikely origins back to the Oneida Community, a Christian communal utopia founded by Giles’ great-great grandparents in 1848. Giles’ own calling, as he discovered, lay more in utopian theorizing than in silverware making.

After earning a doctorate in political science at Syracuse University in 1966, he became a professor at Allegheny College, where he spent the next 32 years doing what he loved most: teaching young people about the importance of social justice. He taught courses in Latin American politics, liberation theology and Marxism.
He founded a local chapter of Amnesty International, and in the 1980s was instrumental in petitioning the Somali government to release an Allegheny alumnus who had been sentenced to death for criticizing the regime. He led a faculty movement pressuring the college to divest its holdings in apartheid South Africa in the 1990s.

When he retired in 1998, Giles returned to his hometown of Oneida, to help build the then-fledgling Oneida Community Mansion House Foundation, a nonprofit museum housed in the original community “Mansion House” dating from the 1860s. True to his Quaker upbringing, Giles believed in the “inner light” of human goodness; he believed that through patient work, the world could be made a better place. He is survived by his wife, Kate; daughters Ellen ’89 and Sarah; and brothers Paul and Robert Wayland-Smith.
