THE STUDENT VAGABOND

At 9 o'clock this morning Professor Yeoman's will take up the question of due process of law and the deprivation of property in Harvard 2. At the same time Professor Elton is talking on the Memoirs and Letters of the time of George II upstairs in Harvard 6. One might easily be tempted to divide the hour between the two rooms if this did not entail losing a large part of it on a steep and creaky stairway.

Since a choice must perforce be made I shall cast my lot with Englands most polished gentleman, Lord Chesterfield, and first great politician, Sir Robert Walpole.

After an hour's respite, 11 o'clock will find me in the Fogg Museum, prepared to hear Professor Edgell lecture on Later Umbrian Painting and the Early North Italian School, in Fine Arts 1d. Dr Maynadier is speaking on Meredith in Sever 35 at the same time, but it would be inconsistent with a vagabond's character to single out any one field for the concentration of his attentions. Moreover, the early artistic attempts of the most talented of all races must hold an irresistable attraction to any one who professes a love for painting.

This morning seems to be one of conflicts at 12 o'clock we find Professor Conant in Robinson Hall, giving an illustrated lecture on Justinjan's Churches in Constantinople and Professor Hill speaking on Schubert, Wagner, and Schumann in Paine Hall. The latter array is almost staggering at first thought, our second impulse is probably to rush to Music 3 at once. And yet Consantinople and illustrations retain a strange attraction.

Were it not Professor McDonal speaking on Imagination in Psychology 1A, I should never think of mentioning a 2 o'clock class.
