That the weekly open forum lunches

The open forum was established on
Sept, %, 1919 when Arnold Bailey,
member of the Swiss delegation touring
America, spoke. Eleven speakers have
followed Mr.. Bailey, and each has ad-
dressed a larger audience than his
predecessor.
No restrictions are placed upon the
speaker as to the subject he may choose.
The forum, however, may not adopt
any formal resolutions of approval or
abuse or attempt to influence public
opinion by Endorsement or rejection Of
