With the days getting steadily shorter and the streets of Cambridge assuming already their mid-winter liquidity, the Vagabond was not surprised to find on inspection of a calendar last night that only another week intervenes before attractions less elevating than lectures will be alienating the interests of his followers and even--whisper it softly--of the Vagabond himself. Such a demonstration of the appalling brevity of life has had him hurrying back and forth along the way-stations of his academic route in an attempt to make use of every available opportunity before the Reading Period brings its starvation rations. Today he will stop off at Sever 11 at 11 o'clock to hear Dr. Maynadier discuss Sir Walter Seott: and in the afternoon his scientific curiosity will be appeased in part by a visit to the Jefferson Physical Laboratory for the third of Professor Saunders lectures on "Sound and its Relation to Music". This one is to be at 4 o'clock on "Musical Instruments".
