Introduced four years ago as a new step in undergraduate journalism, "The Student Vagabond" has become a regular daily feature of the CRIMSON. Since its original inception the idea of Vagabonding courses has been followed not only in Harvard, but in numerous other universities where students wished to attend an occasional lecture in a course in which they were not enrolled.

Almost every course in the University is open to any student to listen in whenever he may wish. Each day the Vagabond announces a selection of lectures which seem of general interest. The Vagabond endeavors to make the range of his recommendations wide, and to include representative lectures in the fields of Science, Literature, Philosophy, Music, History, and Fine Arts. In general, the Vagabond suggests those lectures which, without requiring special knowledge of the subject matter, promise to be of value and interest to the casual listener.

Perhaps the Vagabond has been a little late in returning to his former haunts, but registration is the least of an old rover's worries. After vagabonding all over the map of Europe and North America it is a bit difficult to slip back into the more confined regions which his duties enforce upon him. A summer which included such varied incidents as climbing the Matterhorn (without guide) and selling kitchen ware on the plains of Kansas (without guide) necessitates a lively start for a season of academic vagabonding.

To hear Mr. Shapley of the Harvard Observatory discuss "Man's Place in the Cosmic Scene" would seem one of the best ways to regain his equilibrium. So, this morning at 10 o'clock the Vagabond will attend the lecture in Biology A in the Geological Lecture Room on Oxford Street.

For those to whom 9 o'clock is not too early the Vagabond would also suggest Professor Holcombe's "The State as the Organization of Will" which is given in Government 1 in the New Lecture Hall.
