For the past few months, the Student Vagabond--as his readers may perhaps have noticed--has been, as it were in seclusion, sending out, if you will, merely daily bulletins as to his intellectual health: pulse--normal; respiration--noticeable. But he himself has rarely appeared in public due--to the wintry weather, the recent Junior revel--what you will. Today, in fact he has come forth to sniff the air, like a belated ground hog some will say; not indeed to say anything of much pertinence. But the mythical approach of spring with its flowers and tree and other shapsodic subjects, and perhaps the fact that it was brought to his attention that Professor Pray is to lecture at 9 o'clock this morning in Robinson Hall on the style of Le Notre in gardening as it shows itself outside of France have led him to say a few remarks upon the subject-- non sequiturs, if you must, of which the Vagabond was accused last year.

In his wanderings the Vagabond has seen a number of Le Notre's lay-outs, notably the gardens of Versailles, and be it said softly, he has never been enthusiastic for them. Purely incidentally it has occurred to the Vagabond that styles in gardens show a marked relation to history and literature. A chance for a new department possibly? And after that remark the Vagabond had better retire.
