192-		 Shoghi Effendi at Oxford - The Michaelmas Term 1920

  • Because there wasn't a vacancy in Balliol College, Shoghi Effendi could not register during the first term. Although he was not registered in the College he attended every day and took instruction from tutors. During this time he took lodgings at 45 Broad Street. [PG151-155]
  • 23 October: Shoghi Effendi officially matriculated in the Non-Collegiate Delegacy, a week after starting lectures for the Michaelmas term (Oct-Christmas, or, more formally Michaelmas term — 13 Sundays before to 5 Sundays before the feast day of St Hilary). [PG157]
  • Shoghi Effendi hosted a visit from his childhood friend Ali Yazdi who was on his way to America to enroll at UC Berkley where he enrolled in an engineering program the following year. [RG 158-159]
           There he met and married Marion Carpenter in 1926. The couple went on pilgrimage in 1928. Shoghi Effendi and Ali Yazdi remained friends until the end of the Guardian's life. [UP-The Guardian Part VII]
