With the return of Monday accompanied by a cold, dull rain, all the lighter joys of a warm May week-end disappear as completely as the sun itself. Putting aside thoughts of brighter costumed baseball heroes, of a blue clad runner valiantly battling up the back stretch against baffling breeze, and of far off dreams engendered by the atmosphere of the Pops, the Vagabond will again wander forth into the Yard this morning his eye on Harvard Hall, his mind full of history. For without stirring out of this ancient center of Harvard life nor shifting his mind from its historical focus the Vagabond feels that he can satisfy his academic appetite--at least for one day.

In the first place, Professor Whitney will take up the "Restoration of Charles II" at 9 o'clock in Harvard 6, and then at 10 o'clock one has but to go down stairs to Harvard 1 to hear Professor Webster speak on "British Foreign Policy about 1870."

The first of these lectures concerns a period and an event well known to everyone. The triumphant return of "Bonnie Prince Charlie", the lifting of the ban on laughter, the revival of the theatre and the gay court life form a delightful story which can bear a great many re-tellings. The Vagabond wants to hear this story again and he also wants to find out something more about the other side of the picture--the secret negociations between Charles and Louis XIV and their unnatural alliance against the Dutch.

In regard to British Foreign policy toward the end of the Victorian era the Vagabond is forced to confess ignorance. But he has heard Professor Webster lecture, he knows that Professor Webster has had an unrivaled opportunity to study this subject in his work in the British foreign office and his long access to the British archives, and he is going to avail himself of this easiest and pleasantest way imaginable to find out just what Great Britain was thinking and doing in relation to the rest of the world around the year 1870.
