THE STUDENT VAGABOND

The Old Dog's peregrinations about the University have made good subject-matter for his writing. Today it is his writing which will contribute to the academic attractions. Mr. Frederic Orin Bartlett has been an Old Dog faithful to the University, but when he lectures in English 22 today, he will be rendering no less a service to Mr. Hersey's course. His lecture will be in Sever 11 at 2 o'clock, and will be on the Old Dog's methods of writing.

Even Michelangelo follows the Old Dog in my anticipation of this morning. He will appear, however, in History 7 at 11 o'clock in Emerson J and in Fine Arts 4a in Robinson Hall at noon. Both hours will see the giant of the Sistine Chapel introduced by Professor Edgell, the first time as a sculptor and a painter, the second time as an architect. A lecture on his sonnets would make it more complete, but the futility of treating completely such a man in any number of lectures is so immense that I must be satisfied.

Having heard Professor Young yesterday on the London money market I am moved to hear Professor Gay in Harvard 1 at 9 o'clock this morning in his Economics 2 lecture. For he will lecture on the development of money and banking in England before 1800. This was admittedly not the great period of such institutions, but it may be considered as interesting as any. The growth of usury until the Church sanctioned it is a story of constant struggle between bankrupt monarchs and the money lenders whom they could threaten.
