Hobo College, according to an Associated Press dispatch of yesterday, has given 150 diplomas and disbanded for the year. This institution, located in Chicago, has had more than 20,000 men on its roster in the past term. "One of the qualifications for graduation", says the dispatch, "was examination by a psychiatrist, the college faculty holding that prolonged vagrancy indicated a psychopathic condition." As far as a true vagabond is concerned, this is indefensible,--diplomas and examinations. What after all, is the use of vagabonding?

And so I shall rise betimes without a thought of Hobo College and go to Emerson J where Dr. Prescott at 9 o'clock will lecture on interest and attention. His course, Education B, is one that demands both, and after his exposition I shall probably be unduly critical of what is to follow. Professor Lowes begins his annual contribution to English 28 at 10 o'clock this morning, when he will introduce a new era to the course, the romantics period. I like romantics, all vagabonds are romantics at heart.

There is Professor Murdock in English 76 at noon in Harvard 3. He talks of Lancelot Andrewes and Joseph Hall this morning, worthy divines both, and yet jovial souls. Longinus and "The Sublime" is Professor Elton's subject in Comparative Literature 29. Three o'clock is an hour when one might do anything--but it is more than likely that Longinus will attract me to Sever 17.
