TOM THUMB WEDDING IS
PRESENTED BY DAY GIRLS
Wedding Gifts Go to DecOrate
Room in Founders Hall
One of the most beautiful wed
dings of the season was solemnized
in Memoral hall, Wednesday night,
September 19, when Miss Thum
belina, was united in the holy bonds
of matrimony to Mr. Tom Thumb.
In other words, the day students of
Guilford college have given very
successfully for the second time
their Tom Thumb wedding, in which
; many small children of the com
-1 munity took part,
The attendants of the bride were
charmingly grownup in very decol
lete evening gowns. The best man
and the ushers, dignified in full
evening dress, showed the relatives
of the bride and groom to their
places on the platform, which was
decorated with ferns and cut flow
ers. The preacher performed the
ceremony with the customary pious
attitude, and was unusually natural.
As the small participants in the
wedding could not easily be digni
fied for too great a length of time,
several amusing little incidents hap
pened. The best man yawned during
the ceremony, one of the ushers
forgot what to do with his hand--,
and the ringbearer, after hostilities
ceased, jumped over the decoration;*
and proceeded to run more than
rapidly down the aisle.
The entertainment was very well
presented . The day students made
about twenty dollars to adri to the
already large fund with which they
intend to re-furnish and re-deco
rate the room allotted to them in
Founders hall.

THE FORUM
By Edward Holder
It is perfectly proper that an
Englishman should carry a stick
when he walks, and wear straw
hat and white duck trousers
in October; that he should evince
a taste for art,, or raise pigs for
pastime —in England. He may even
he christened Percival Algernon,
and stiil he respectable; so long
as he does not cross the Atlantic.
An example of an artistic and
unconventional gentleman is Stan
ley Baldwin, the modest Prime Min
ister of England, who chooses to
occupy the grim, old-fashioned house
in Downing street, the official re
sidence of England's ruler, rather
than live in an uptown mansion.
In the September Forum, J. Ellis
Barker draws an attractive picture
of Mr. Baldwin while Elmer Stoll
is responsible for "Taboos in Amer
ica," a discussion of the Ameri
can conventionalities that are brought
to bear on visiting Britons.
Taboos are not limited to English
men however. There are American
taboos for Americans. In "Movies
in Excelsis" Edith Hamilton re
bukes the college entertainment
committee that puts a ban on the
transient movie, and sponsors visit
ing lecturers, poets, dancers, and
musicians, believing that they are
placing before the students some
thing of permanence. These pro
grams are heralded with all the
catch titles of the picture house. "A
Ghost, a Bird, and a Cumber
land Holiday" would never sug
gest to anyone save a literary freak,
that the lecturer intended to revive
the Ancient Mariner. Who at Guil
ford does not remember that the
effect of a discourse 011 "The Canny
Scot. His Life and Literature" was
a busy comparison, among the
students and faculty next clay, of
Scotch porridge and Guilford's
breakfast food? The only thing we
remembered about Scotch literature
was the speaker's trite expression
"A Bible, a Bobbie Burns, and a
bank-book." If the truth is to be
set forth in lyceum programs, why
conceal it with stale jokes and slap
stiik stage comedy?
"Colleges have personalities," says
Edmund Viilson: and then tells us
that Vale is rigid, stately, and Puri
tanic, while Princeton is lax, ironic,
and nearh indolent. Both are in
dividual and even eccentric. Harvard
is a great and wise scholar, who
dispenses learning to those who
care for it. Columbia is c lassified
as a Sears-Roebuck institution.
But the purpose of this article,
like the topic of the lecturer's dis
course, is to attract rather than in
form. Hence one need only mention
the immigration debate in The
Forum, as argued by a former
alien and a manufacturer employing
alien labor; "The Presidency in
1924," a presentation of two possible
candidates; a humorous sketch trans
lated from a Lithuanian writer;
and an investigation of the meaning
of the three-mile limit, by Edward
S. Corwin.
If there is a purpose concealed in
this discussion it is merely to guide
the reader to The Forum, which
occupies six inches of our magazine
shelf. It can be found somewhere
near the "American" and "Good
Housekeeping."
Beauty originates in your own
ili >ught.
