Yesterday afternoon in response to the presentation of the problem to the Executive Committee by the Student Council, the proposition of vagabonding classes was sanctioned for trial. Vagabonding, auditing, or hoboing classes is not a new idea by any means. Begun at Yale and Harvard several years ago, it has since spread to many of the larger institutions, being the same in principle at most of them, and allowing the student with a vacant hour to attend a lecture outside his own curriculum, providing he takes a seat that is otherwise vacant and creates no disturbance or does not consider his attendance a basis for the awarding of an examination or credit in the course.

In its tentative plan the Committee will, through the Deans and Heads of Schools, announce such lectures as may be of interest to the student, also announcing its place, time, and extra capacity of the room. Any student wishing to listen to the lecture is privileged to do so without any difficulty whatsoever. --The Purdue Daily Exponent.

Ed Note: The practice of "vagabonding" lecturers was begun in the colleges of the country with the institution by the CRIMSON of "The Student Vagabond" in the fall of 1926. The plan has been adopted by a number of colleges since that time.
