THE STUDENT VAGABOND

Upon looking over his schedule for the morning, the Vagabond finds himself invited to a number of lectures so variegated in subject matter as to promise a highly diverting and instructive day. Economics, history, science, music and architecture are all on the bill of fare,--certainly a more widespread range of material could not be found to edify the versatile interests of a true vagabond, whose mind should be many-faceted.

The first of the series occurs at 9 o'clock in Emerson A, where Mr. E. D. Smith's class will discuss some problems of honesty and accuracy in the factory. As the practical center about which modern social and industrial life has been built, the factory and the mental and moral conditions which it breeds, is a question which touches us closely.

At the next hour, a choice of three lectures is offered. Professor Baxter will speak on "Roosevelt and the Big Stick," in Sever 35. Professor Parker will lecture on "Animal Coloration" in the Geological Lecture Room, and Professor Spalding, in the Music Building, will give a lecture on Cesar Frank's Symphony.

The choice between these three must be left to the individual taste; the Vagabond could not presume to decide which will be the best, although probably his own inclination will lead him to the Music Building.

"Georgian England," a lecture to be given by Professor Edgell speaking in Robinson Hall at 11 o'clock ought certainly not to be missed. It deals with a period of English architecture where many of her most beautiful buildings were conceived, and great sections of the inimitable town mansions of London were raised in the cool, dignified Georgian ideal, which remains to us today as one of the most beautiful styles of domestic architecture.
