THE STUDENT VAGABOND

The conscientious Vagabond has a many-sided nature and is an earnest devotee of art, literature or science indiscriminately. It is rare, however, that simultaneous opportunities are offered to satisfy such divers appetites. It is, therefore, with keen anticipation that the Vagabond plans pilgrimages to Widener, Fogg and Robinson to study the varied exhibitions that are in progress. The exhibition at Widener of early editions of Newton's famous treatises has been open for several days, but it is of undiminished interest for the scientific dilettante. Rare speciments of Dante's work are no less attractive to the dabbler in literature, but it is for the sake of some rare editions of John Ruskin's works and for seven original watercolors, most of them executed by him in the Swiss Alps, that the Vagabond is chiefly drawn to Widener.

From Ruskin, the Vagabond will turn to the more recent artists whose works are on exhibition at the Fogg Museum and at Robinson Hall. The collection at Fogg, is of examples of modern French art. At Robinson Hall the Vagabond looks forward to seeing the drawings of R. K. Webel which won him the fellowship at the American Academy at Rome as well as works of Norman T. Newton, a former holder of the same scholarship.

If opportunity offers the Vagabond will endeavor to attend some of the following lectures in addition to his other wanderings:
