Dr. Polhemus To
Speak On Christmas
Traditions Tonight
Nearly all the people in the
Western Hemisphere have cele
brated a holiday around the lat
ter part of December even prior
to our present Christmas. On
December 18 for the Friday
Night Lecture, Dr. Oscar Pol
hemus will eliborate on this
topic in his talk on "Christmas
Traditions and Customs."
Dr. Polhemus, professor of po
litical science and history at
Guilford, will discuss the various
customs that come from differ
ent countries and also the Chris
tian significance that developed
from these. Some of the cus
toms are well known ones, such
as Santa Claus, Christmas cards,
carols, seals, and nativity scenes.
Others less familiar include
Christmas foods, Christmas
greens, and particular celebra
tions. There will also be certain
interesting stories concerning
the Christmas spirit.
Dr. Polhemus chose this sub
ject for his lecture because of
his long-time interest in Christ
mas traditions'. He holds degrees
from both Indiana University
and Boston University and lived
in New England a number of
years before coming to Guilford
College.
