To undergraduates as a whole, and even to those with the intellectual curiosity to read his column, the Student Vagabond feels safe in saying, Washington's birthday comes as a very pleasant event. In fact it is in the highest degree gratifying to think that over a century and a half ago the father of his country had the remarkable foresight to be born just at this time midway between Christmas and Easter, when the spirit is wearied with much study and what not.

And it is, moreover, particularly well arranged that the right-feeling vagabond may today usher in his day's respite with listening to a Beethoven quartet--number one of Opus 59 to be exact--played at 10 o'clock this morning in Paine Hall of the Music Building by the Darrell String Quartet. After hearing it one should be in a proper frame of mind for the following festivities.
