Today, for a Saturday, is unusually rich in lectures that promise instruction and entertainment. Saturday usually presents a dearth of lectures that drives the Vagabond to Boston where he investigates a new exhibition, attends a concert, or even sneaks into a picture palace to indulge in the racy thrills of the latest stupendous feature from Holywood.

The Saturday academic dessert however, has lost its barrenness for today, and has acquired a spring verdure that will keep him in Cambridge during the morning at least.

At 9 o'clock the goal will be Emerson A, where Mr. E. D. Smith will give a lecture on "Mental Censorship in Relation to Industrial Situations."

Censorship of all kinds, from the banning of cinema osculation in Philadelphia to the suppression of books because of their titles in Boston, is a moot question, and certainly the question from the standpoint of industrial problems, promises to be of interest, however Mr. Smith chooses to treat of it.

When the Vagabond leaves Emerson at 10 o'clock, he will have to make a decision among three alternatives.

Two lectures of interest will take place at that hour in Sever Hall. Dr. Baxter will speak on "Anglo-American Relations, 1853-1860" in room 35, while Dr. Dickinson will lecture on "The Independence of Medieval Cities" in 18.

The probability is, however, that the Vagabond, having always been an ardent admirer of Poe, will settle the 10 o'clock problem by going to Harvard 2, where Professor Murdock is going to lecture on that meteoric author.

Poe, as one of that early group who may be said to have founded American literature, as the former of the modern short story, and as the first father of that modern second cousin of legitimate fiction, the detective story, is of superlative importance as a literary figure, besides having lived a life that burned itself out with its own intensity in a brief span of years.

At 11 o'clock the attraction will be Professor Elliott's lecture in Harvard 1 on "Reconstruction and the Constitution." This period, a time when the elasticity of the American form of government was put to the test, is one to interest any student of constitutional history.
